After careful observation, Nami, who was sure that she could not decipher it, took a piece of drawing paper from the table on one side, and then carefully rubbed the line of blood words. Although she cannot interpret it, there is still someone in this world who is capable of interpreting it, and that is Nico Robin, a common acquaintance of the 'Namis'.

"When you know a secret, you have to carry a corresponding weight. It seems that in order to make it easier for me, after determining the nature of the content of the information, I will decide whether to decompose the remaining blood drops. After all, I don’t know the other costs for the time being, but right now... it’s quite realistic that a piece of blooddrop stone costs millions of beli.”

After putting away the paper with the rubbings completed, Nami also shrugged slightly. No matter what her previous ability user wanted to say, it seemed that he was indeed dead now. At least so far, the setting in the original book that the ability can only leave the body after the death of the holder is believable, and the ability to simulate the structure of blood into the properties of gemstones is indeed quite practical.

If you wait until your own abilities are awakened, can you also use this method of artificially creating blood drops to become the biggest seller of this type of gemstone?

"Ha, that's really a huge profit, and I don't have to work hard to develop other products."

Shaking her head, Nami also walked out of the cabin. Anyway, the ability of the blood fruit is now her unique power. She just needs to strengthen it step by step. Anyway, the upgrade route is also quite clear, just suck blood. It's just because she is picky. Reasons require a little extra effort.

Seeing Nami walking out of the cabin, the atmosphere on the entire Enterprise finally relaxed. This period of getting along with each other has allowed these pirates to grasp some of the characteristics of their dangerous female leader, that is, as long as she is willing Appearing here shows that she is not in a bad mood at all. The most terrifying thing is that she is alone in a secret room conducting some experiments or something. That is scary.

"I'm very sorry, there is something I have to report to you."

At this moment, Yegoro, who had always stayed in the smelting room, walked over from the cabin exit on one side. The other party seemed to have chosen this opportunity to make a report.

"What's wrong? Don't be so nervous. There is nothing in this sea that requires us to panic for the time being."

She sat down on the only captain's chair above the deck very naturally, and Nami didn't feel any angry at all, which made Yegoro somewhat relieved. As a person on the same ship, he was more or less from other seas. The thief had heard about the horror of this orange-haired girl, so it was impossible to say that she was not stressed.

"Hi, actually... I don't have enough personal ability, so... I can't shape the rubber alloy you entrusted me to cast..."

(PS1: Ah~ Sorry, I went to see the new house today, so I delayed it until now~~ There is another update, so I will do double updates for today~~)

(PS2: Well, looking back, I found that I was a little too hasty in the early stage~ It seems that without the appropriate original BGM, I won’t be able to fully invest~)

‘Protagonist’ alloy

"Oh, so the thing you want to report is nothing else but failure."

Turning her head slightly, Nami still had a gentle smile on her face, but Arrita, who was standing next to her, could not help but stiffen slightly. Obviously, even if the other party is not angry, the pressure has not diminished in any way.

Because failure itself is not something that makes people happy. In a certain sense, it is the same as the word "shameful".

"Hey... I'm extremely sorry. It's because I'm not good at studying and I couldn't help but get that new alloy..."

Yegoro, who was half-kneeling on the deck, was undoubtedly the direct bearer of this pressure. Even if he was a tough blacksmith, otherwise he would not be able to create an excellent knife that could compete with a good knife. But at this moment, the kind of knife that comes from a superior The pressure still made him almost breathless.

"Before commenting on this regrettable failure, I would like to ask first, you must have really tried your best, right?"

Looking at Yegoro on the deck, Nami was actually not too surprised by this result. In fact, this little-known wild blacksmith was able to rely on Oni Tetsu as a reference template to create a slightly inferior good-quality sword. A little bit, which already made her quite satisfied. After all, what she had expected before was just some high-quality swords that were not easy to break. It can be said that the other party has surprised her greatly.

"Hey, I'm really sorry... My knowledge is more focused on swords. There is really nothing I can do about this kind of iron block that can ignore the hammer..."

Yegoro's words also brought a sense of laughter and laughter. Obviously, if he had not made all attempts to determine that he was powerless, this tenacious blacksmith would never have given up, but the meaning contained in his words was Nami's eyes flickered slightly, obviously the other party was not saying that the alloy could not be formed, but that the alloy could not be cast.

"In this case, it's just that I'm sure there's nothing I can do at the moment. It's not considered a failure. Please raise your head, Mr. Yegoro. It's because I was too greedy that I assigned you an additional task. Originally, you were just an excellent knifemaker. For the new alloy It’s human nature to be powerless.”

Standing up, Nami narrowed her eyes cutely: "Then, let me also see what an alloy block like that looks like."

"Yes, please come with me."

Yegoro breathed a big sigh of relief and quickly stood up and led the way. Soon, Nami also saw the nature of the alloy block that made Yegoro powerless.

There is no doubt that this is the new alloy that Nami asked Yegoro to cast with the rubber blood he made. In front of Nami, Yegoro also demonstrated it personally. You can see that the surface of the piece is no different from other alloy blocks. The alloy block deformed like rubber under Yegoro's hammer. It looked like it was dented by the hammer, but as soon as the power on the hammer disappeared, it regained its original shape with great energy. The shape, the incredible elasticity and ductility of this leather are obviously enough to make a blacksmith accustomed to using a hammer to deform metal be helpless.

But when Yegoro changed the tool and tried to cut it with a guillotine, it seemed to have the characteristics of metal again. Even if the blade of the guillotine sparkled, it still could not cut it even slightly. For It's no wonder that Yegoro is helpless about this new alloy, which is not afraid of being beaten or cut, and its entire skin is strong.

"Well...it seems that the fault is mine. I should have thought that alloys of this nature are indeed a bit...well, not easy to handle."

She also felt a bit dumbfounded, but Nami was still very pleased, because it seemed that her idea of ​​​​allowing the metal to gain some Devil Fruit abilities by cooling the metal and quenching the blood was indeed correct. There is no doubt that now This alloy block itself possesses some of the characteristics of the rubber fruit, but because it is a metal, it also possesses the characteristics of metal.

Originally, the ability of Devil Fruit can work on inanimate substances. This is mentioned many times in the original work. For example, inanimate guns and even swords can eat animal-type Devil Fruits, and then they will It has the ability to correspond to animals, and can even change its form according to the owner's wishes. Therefore, it is not surprising that this piece of alloy, which is also an inanimate substance, acquires the characteristics of a rubber fruit.

However, the inanimate substances that have appeared to eat Devil Fruit so far have been limited to the animal type. Now it seems that it is possible for superhuman abilities to be displayed on inanimate matter, perhaps because they possess some of the characteristics of their abilities?

After all, the Navy has indeed succeeded in reproducing some of the natural-type Shining Fruit abilities on man-made robots. In other words, it is feasible to extend the abilities of the other two types to materials other than espers through the correct method.

"Well~ In that case, there is no need to put in any more effort. When we return to Shields Town, we can find a few more blacksmiths to assist you."

Putting away this piece of rubber alloy, Nami was not worried at all about not being able to deal with it. Since it can resist blunt blows with the advantages of rubber and sharp blows with the advantages of steel, then, use a method that has the weaknesses of both rubber and steel. Just cook it, such as ultra-low temperature and ultra-high temperature.

But for Yegoro, this ordinary casting room is definitely unable to meet these two requirements, which requires Nami to promptly update her industrial line hardware.

Although you can get a high price even if you sell this kind of alloy block directly, it is only the price of raw materials after all. If you want to get a better high price, you have to carefully package it into an exquisite and flawless finished product, such as A true 'soft armor' that is close enough to protect the fragile bodies of those nobles without affecting their elegant appearance.

"Interesting, it seems that this business is basically confirmed. As expected of the protagonist, the products that can be obtained are of higher quality."

Tossing the piece of rubber alloy in her hand up and down, Nami certainly knew how valuable it was. After all, Xia Lan and the like could only be regarded as high-end tools for the Colosseum or swordsmen to chop people. For wealthy aristocrats, they are just interesting collectibles at best. But if rubber alloys can be successfully smelted into soft armor, then there will undoubtedly be only one audience and buyer for them, and that is the so-called 'nobles'. Compared to Xia Lan, who is simply a high-end tool, rubber alloy is considered a noble product for entering the house, and it is clear at a glance which one is superior.

And considering all the fruits that have appeared in this world, only the ability of the rubber fruit is suitable for making this kind of soft armor that is extremely important to the nobles. The abilities of other fruits are basically unable to achieve this kind of soft armor that is extremely important to the nobles. indispensable.

"Rita, I will send 10 million Beli to Monkey D. Luffy in Windmill Village later. Although he may not need it, as a businessman, it is one of my creeds to pay my partners appropriately." .”

Back in the cabin, Nami also gave orders to Arrita on the side with considerable satisfaction. After seeing the metal block in the opponent's hand, the latter also reacted: "Oh, okay. It looks like , although the specific thing was not successfully cast, the new alloy block was indeed successful, right?"

"That's right, which means that our financial path has once again increased, and it may be broader than Xia Lan before."

She carefully placed the rubber alloy in her hand on the bedside table. Nami had a habit of placing things she liked in front of her eyes. There is no doubt that no matter what the relationship between Luffy and Nami is in the original work, it seems that the relationship between the other party providing blood for the latter to make rubber alloy has been finalized. Nami also doesn't plan to mass-produce these rare items, but it should be absolutely fine to measure Luffy's blood once a month.

Although it stands to reason that as long as you treat Luffy to a big meal on time every month, you can obtain the other party's blood, this method of taking advantage of the ignorance of the transaction partner and wantonly squeezing the other party's value has long been outdated in Nami's notebook. Yes, treating people with sincerity is not only an aspect that others can see, but also includes aspects that others cannot see.

"So, how about having a dance or banquet to celebrate? After all, we have also recruited many new crew members. This is a good opportunity to blend the atmosphere."

Seeing that Nami was indeed in a good mood, Arrita also relaxed, and then came over very ambiguously: "Besides, although there is a lot of garbage in a city like this, it is relatively suitable for you to eat. 'There must be a lot of women there, would you like some dessert after dinner?"

Hmm... Although this is true, it sounds really villainous...

Nami was also speechless at Arrita's reminder. That's right, putting aside other businesses and so on, what she needs most now is some women who are beautiful enough and have their own skills to help her adjust the blood ratio in her body so as to get rid of this hateful fish scale as soon as possible.

"Hmm~ Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, Rita. I'll do as you wish."

After hugging Arrita, Nami had nothing to say about this arrangement. Anyway, she only needed some of the blood from those women. With the other party's consent and reasonable compensation, this could be regarded as a transaction at best.

(PS1: Well~ the new alloy that inherited Luffy’s skin properties was successful~ we can make the kind of elastic and strong body-hugging armor in Dragon Ball~~)

(PS2: Second update~~still owe 42 updates~~)

Growth and misunderstanding

The interior of the huge cabin is stable and quiet. The Enterprise's huge hull determines that it can provide a sense of stability no less than that on land when the sea is calm. The cabin that has been decorated at this moment is undoubtedly the layout of a ballroom, and a The slender figure was moving gracefully inside the ballroom at this moment.

Nami breathed slightly, while lightly raising her right leg and making a standard dance spin movement. She seemed to deliberately cover her eyes with a black cloth. When she temporarily lost the help of vision, this This kind of continuous turning movement with a huge range is undoubtedly a hard-core movement that maximizes the body's coordination skills. And what she did was not an ordinary spin, but the thirty-two turns of the black swan, the most profound among the swan dances. This required not only years of hard training, but also luck-like talent and matching skills. physical strength.

In the morning light that peeked in from the porthole window as if curious, several seagulls seemed to be attracted by the lonely dancing figure, and then landed on the handrail that could directly see into the porthole window. Although there was no music accompaniment at the moment, they felt dry The crashing sound of the waves seemed to be the best natural accompaniment, until the moment when the thirty-two turns were completed, as if the black swan was dancing wildly, it raised its arms high like spreading its wings, and paused in the dance with the last perfect posture. on the end.
