Meanwhile, Adam, the mastermind behind all this, was still enjoying his time with two women on the ship.
The sun was just right, and the sea breeze was gentle.
Adam lay leisurely on a specially made recliner.
Nojiko sat beside him, carefully peeling an orange, delivering plump, juicy segments to Adam’s mouth.
Nami, like a lazy cat, lay on her side on another recliner, enjoying the warm sunbath, her orange short hair shimmering under the sunlight.
“Ah!
Such days are truly comfortable.” Nami stretched, her perfect curves fully displayed.
She turned her head to look at Big Brother Lin and casually asked, “Big Brother Lin, speaking of which, when will our auction house hold an auction?” “I almost forgot what we’re supposed to be doing.” Adam swallowed the orange segment Nojiko offered him and smiled.
“Soon, the time is set for three months from now.” “Three months from now?” Nami sat up straight, her eyes sparkling.
“Is it finally starting!” “I’m so excited!
Who will come to participate?” Nojiko also cast a curious gaze.
Adam sat up, his expression becoming a little more serious, and said to the two women, “First, let me give you some knowledge about our auction house.
His voice softened, and his gaze deepened: “The world we live in is not the only one.” “In the boundless universe, there are countless different times and spaces and worlds, and each world has its unique laws, life, and civilization.” Nami and Nojiko listened in a daze, half understanding, half not.
Adam continued, “And the items our auction house will be auctioning are rare treasures from these different worlds, just like the three items Nami you bid on, all came from a place called the World of Magic.” “That is to say,” he smiled slightly, “we don’t sell ordinary things, but ‘items’ from other worlds.” The two women were dumbfounded, and Nami murmured, “Things from other worlds, this is like a fairy tale.” “Precisely because of the special nature of the auction items,” Adam’s tone turned serious, “the invitation letters we send out might be received by high-ranking Marine generals, or even the Fleet Admiral or an Admiral.” Nami and Nojiko’s faces instantly paled.
A Marine Admiral, that’s a great figure standing at the pinnacle of the world, a legendary figure to them.
“Of course,” Adam changed the subject, his tone still calm.
“It could also be the great pirates who dominate the New World, such as the Shichibukai, or even the Four Emperors who rule the Grand Line.” “F-Four Emperors?” Nami couldn’t help but exclaim, her voice trembling slightly.
Nojiko also subconsciously clenched her hands, her eyes filled with worry.
Their ship was about to face the world’s top powers and strongest individuals?
The atmosphere on the deck became somewhat stagnant for a moment.
Seeing the two women’s nervous and uneasy expressions, Adam smiled, reached out, and held Nami and Nojiko’s hands respectively.
His palms were warm and strong, with a reassuring steadiness.
“Don’t worry.” Adam’s voice was full of confidence.
“I’m telling you this not to scare you, but just to prepare you mentally.
Even if I didn’t say it, you would eventually find out.” “But, you must remember the most important point.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two women’s eyes, and said word by word: “As long as you are on this ship, I am the absolute rule.” “Without my permission, no matter if it’s a Marine Admiral, or the Four Emperors themselves, or even the Gorosei, the highest authority of the World Government, no one should even think about using force to harm anyone.” “On this ship, any act of aggression will be instantly suppressed by the ship’s rule power.” These words were like a stabilizing needle for the sea, instantly dispelling most of the gloom in Nami and Nojiko’s hearts.
Recalling the various incredible aspects of this ship, the two women believed most of what Adam said.
“R-really?” “Even the Four Emperors and Admirals can’t make a move on the ship?” Nami confirmed, her eyes lighting up again.
“Of course.” Adam nodded affirmatively, then looked at Nami and encouraged her.
“And, Nami, you also need to have confidence in yourself.” “The power of the magic inheritance you’ve learned is far stronger than you imagine.” “As long as you practice diligently, fully familiarize yourself with and master it, and unleash its full power, your strength will definitely not be inferior to the so-called Marine Admirals or Four Emperors!” “I, I can be as strong as an Admiral or a Four Emperor?” Nami pointed to herself, her face full of disbelief, but a spark of excitement ignited in her eyes.
“That’s right, your current strength has reached the early stage of a Marine Rear Admiral, but your physical strength is too low, so you need to train your physical strength and the speed of releasing magic,” Adam affirmed.
“You need to practice more, strive to cast magic instantly without incantations!” At this point, Adam had an idea: “How about this, since there are still three months until the auction.
“Nami, for the next period, you can train your physical strength on the ship while using the pirate crews you encounter during your voyage as practice targets.” Nami was eager to try: “Great!
Just in time to test my skills!” Adam reminded her: “However, you need to pay attention to your methods.” “You need to learn to control your power and start practicing with the most basic low-level magic.” “I understand!” Nami nodded vigorously, her face full of drive.
Nojiko also showed a relieved smile, seeing her sister full of vitality again.
With Adam around, they really seemed to have nothing to fear from any storms.
“Alright, business is done.” Adam lay back in his chair, comfortably narrowing his eyes.
“Nojiko, are there any more oranges?” Adam’s suggestion soon got a chance to be put into practice.
Less than half a day later, Nami, who was on lookout, excitedly pointed to the starboard side and shouted, “Big Brother Lin, Sister Nojiko!
Something’s happening!
A pirate ship.” Adam looked in the direction she was pointing.
He saw a pirate ship, looking dilapidated but not slow, heading towards them.
On the deck, a group of pirates waving swords and yelling could vaguely be seen.
“Just right for practice!” Nami’s tone was relaxed, clearly not taking the opponents seriously.
Nojiko pulled Nami’s hand, somewhat worried.
“Nami, be careful, there are many of them.” “Don’t worry, Sis!” Nami confidently patted Nojiko’s hand, her eyes flashing with electricity, “Watch me!” She walked to the ship’s rail and took a deep breath.
Adam and Nojiko stood behind her, quietly observing the battle.
“Prepare for boarding!
Plunder them all!” the pirates roared.
The two ships gradually approached, and the pirates were already impatiently throwing grappling hooks, preparing to board.
Just then, Nami moved.
She first cast a Magic Shield on herself, then, following Adam’s guidance, tried more refined operations.
“First, let’s try the simplest Paralysis Shock.” Nami raised her finger and softly chanted: “Tiny lightning spirits, transform into paralyzing touch— [Micro Electric Shock]!” “Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!” Several hair-thin electric arcs accurately hit the pirates in the very front.
They only felt their bodies go numb, their movements instantly stiffening.
Then, with a “plop, plop,” they fell into the sea.
Although they wouldn’t drown immediately, they temporarily lost their fighting power.
“Huh?
What’s going on?” The pirates behind them were stunned.
Nami’s lips curved slightly: “Good effect, just the right power.” “Next, try this.” She clasped her hands in front of her chest, then slowly pulled them apart.
“Invisible electric curtain, unfold— [Static Barrier]!” A static barrier, composed of faint electric arcs and almost imperceptible to the naked eye, appeared in the air between the two ships.
Several fearless pirates swung their swords and jumped over, only to crash headfirst into this invisible Static Barrier.
“Crackling!” A dense burst of electric sparks erupted.
These pirates were instantly shocked, their hair standing on end, their bodies twitching, and they screamed as they fell back onto their own ship.
Although they weren’t seriously injured, they wouldn’t be able to get up for a while.
“Captain!
This woman is evil!” The pirates began to panic.
