“Hahaha!
This is great!
Now I can also become a legendary Devil Fruit user!”
Nami hugged the Sunset Fruit tightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she momentarily indulged in fantasies of power and freedom.
Xia Wen gently shook his head and interrupted her excitement.
“I’m afraid… that isn’t a Devil Fruit.”
“Huh?”
Nami’s smile froze instantly.
Her raised lips slowly drooped as confusion replaced joy.
“It’s not a Devil Fruit?”
Xia Wen nodded calmly.
“This is called the Sunset Fruit.
It restores a small amount of vitality when consumed, so it can be considered a healing fruit.
Its taste is similar to an apple.”
“Oh…”
Nami’s expression immediately collapsed into disappointment.
“So it’s just an ordinary fruit…”
Although it had some healing effect, it was nothing compared to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit she had already obtained.
With that power, she could become lightning itself an elemental existence immune to most physical attacks.
If she had time to develop it further, she could even confront Arlong head-on.
At least… that was her hope.
Still, this was only the beginning.
She still had more jars.
Nami quickly composed herself, clasped her hands together briefly as if praying, then decisively smashed two jars at once.
“Smash!”
From the shattered jars, a white orb of light and an oddly shaped swimsuit emerged.
Nami immediately frowned.
She picked up the swimsuit with two fingers, as though it was something unspeakable.
A blue bikini set, overly revealing by her standards, paired with a thin beach accessory.
“I would never wear something like this in my life!”
She normally preferred long sleeves, long skirts, and practical clothing suited for movement.
However, after a moment of hesitation, she still stuffed it into her backpack.
Just in case.
Xia Wen glanced at her without comment.
The System had already provided descriptions.
[Nami’s Bikini: A casual beachwear set.
Light and stylish.]
[Note: Completely ordinary item.
Not magical.
Not special.
Just clothing.]
Nami then turned her attention to the floating white orb of light.
She poked it cautiously.
“Shop Owner, what is this?”
Xia Wen spoke after a brief pause.
“This is Basic Combat Mastery.”
“After absorption, you gain the combat experience of an average Marine recruit who has trained for over two years.”
“The method is simple.
Press it against your chest.”
Nami’s eyes lit up immediately.
Combat experience.
Exactly what she lacked.
Her Devil Fruit gave her overwhelming potential, but she had no close-combat foundation.
And in the sea… relying only on Devil Fruits was dangerous.
Especially against opponents like Arlong or Marines who could exploit weaknesses.
Without hesitation, she pressed the orb against her chest.
The light slowly merged into her body.
In that instant her mind flooded with unfamiliar but structured memories.
Footwork.
Timing.
Striking angles.
Defensive instincts.
When it ended, she instinctively clenched her fist.
Her body felt lighter… more responsive.
Even her posture had subtly improved.
“This… includes physical improvement too?”
Nami looked surprised.
Xia Wen nodded.
“Naturally.”
“Skill-type orbs don’t just transfer techniques—they also simulate the training process.”
Even Xia Wen himself was slightly surprised.
The system didn’t just copy knowledge.
It replicated the accumulated training effect as well.
In other words Nami had gained real benefits beyond expectations.
Her luck, in a sense, was abnormal.
Xia Wen could only conclude calmly.
“Well done.”
After all, whatever she gained…
He gained as well.
It was a one-to-one exchange.
The stronger the customer’s fortune, the greater his returns.
If every customer were like her…
He could rise to the top just by standing still.
“Six jars left…”
Nami’s eyes burned with renewed determination.
This time, she wouldn’t hesitate.
“Smash!
Smash!
Smash!”
Three jars shattered in quick succession.
The contents appeared immediately.
[Cocoyasi Village Oranges]
[Note: Ordinary oranges.
Fresh and edible.]
[Celestial Dragons Glass Dome]
[Note: Decorative glass dome.
Wearing it would make you stand out in a very… unfortunate way.]
[Cracked Wooden Sword]
[Note: Training sword used by beginners.
Now damaged and unusable.]
Nami stared blankly.
Then slowly picked up one of the oranges.
She peeled it and tasted it.
Her expression darkened further.
No doubt about it.
These were from her family’s orange grove.
Even that had ended up inside a 100,000-berry jar?
Xia Wen observed calmly.
This outcome was normal.
Ordinary jars naturally contained ordinary items.
Nami’s first pull the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was already an extreme anomaly.
It was equivalent to pulling an SSR immediately.
Everything after that…
Was statistical correction.
The Law of Conservation of Luck.
Nami clenched her fists.
“I don’t believe it!”
“I just used the wrong method!”
Without hesitation, she smashed two more jars.
“Bang!
Bang!”
More items appeared.
[North Blue Map]
[Note: Rough map with limited accuracy.]
[Postpartum Care Manual for Livestock]
[Note: Educational material of unknown origin.]
Nami’s face twitched violently.
She slowly turned her head toward Xia Wen.
He looked as calm as ever.
No reaction.
No surprise.
As if this was completely normal.
“You have one jar left for this week,” he reminded her casually.
“I know…”
Nami sighed deeply.
Maybe her plan to deal with Arlong…
Would need a delay.
She looked at the final jar.
Then casually threw it down.
“Smash!”
The jar shattered.
A blue halo burst out from within.
