It was a special fruit covered in lightning-like spikes.
"This is the Thunder-Thunder Fruit!!!"
Roland's face could not hide his surprise.
He hadn't expected such an unexpected gain while testing his Kenbunshoku.
After a Devil Fruit user dies, there's a chance their ability will attach to a nearby fruit…
Days ago, when Enel died, the Natural Type Thunder-Thunder Fruit naturally regenerated.
"This truly is like searching high and low for something only to find it effortlessly!"
Roland smiled, pondering who should eat this fruit.
Just then.
"Captain~ Captain~"
Nami came running excitedly.
"What's wrong?"
Roland had an idea in mind.
"Good news! Great news! Do you remember a few days ago, when we found the Golden City, there was no gold left inside? I only found out this morning from the Sky Islanders that Enel had already discovered the Golden City, and…"
"Over the past year, he had his subordinates transport all the gold to a cave in the mountains, where he was secretly building a special golden ark…"
Nami excitedly recounted what she had learned.
After learning that the Gold Bell Tower was the faith of the Sandia people.
Nami had already given up the idea of taking the Golden Bell.
However…
She would absolutely not give up on Enel's golden ship.
"Oh, Captain, that expression… did you already know about this? Really, why didn't you say so earlier?!"
Seeing Roland's calm demeanor, Nami immediately pouted, hugging Roland's arm and acting spoiled.
"Heh heh, Nami, have you ever considered how much gold there is, and if our ship can carry all of it?"
Roland asked with a smile.
"Uh…"
Nami was instantly dumbfounded.
She had been so happy about finding the gold that she hadn't considered the practical issues.
A moment later.
"Gan Fall's former subordinates participated in the construction of the golden flying ship, and it's said that once completed, it can fly… Ah, ah, ah, no, no, to fly it needs a continuous supply of electricity…"
"Captain, how about we take some of it first, and then store the rest on Sky Island? When we run out of money later, we can come back for it, just like putting it in a bank!"
Nami thought of an idea.
"No need for that!"
Roland patted Nami's little head, then, as if performing magic, he conjured the Thunder-Thunder Fruit.
"Eat it!"
"Oh!"
Nami didn't ask anything, she just hugged the Thunder-Thunder Fruit and started chomping away.
Finally.
"Ugh, it's so gross! Captain, what is this?!"
"Thunder-Thunder Fruit!"
Roland answered casually.
"Oh, Thunder-Thunder Fruit… Wait a minute…"
Nami reacted, her beautiful eyes suddenly widening.
"Is that Enel's Logia ability?"
"Mm!"
Roland nodded.
"Waaahhh, it's actually the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and you just gave it to me, Captain… Ahhh, I love you to death~"
Nami shrieked excitedly, throwing her arms around Roland's face and showering him with kisses.
Roland's mind stirred.
[Observation Haki (Intermediate), confirmed transfer]
Nami's bold movements suddenly stopped.
"Kenbunshoku? Haki?"
The expression on her small face first froze, then completely transformed into ecstasy.
"This, this, this… Is this the transfer of power Robin spoke of? Captain, you gave me Kenbunshoku? But… this isn't right…"
"Hm? What's not right?"
Roland raised an eyebrow.
"Robin said that to gain an ability, you have to 'that' with Captain, and then Captain's 'that' has to enter your body…"
Nami explained vividly.
Roland: "…"
What in the world was all this nonsense!
It was just a transfer of ability, why would it involve…
Suddenly.
Roland paused, then he remembered.
That day, when he transferred Wood Release and Armament Haki to Robin, he had just reached his limit…
The misunderstanding had arisen precisely because of that.
Thinking of this, Roland also felt a bit helpless.
"Don't listen to Robin's nonsense, none of that is needed. Also, I'll teach you an application of the Thunder-Thunder Fruit's power!"
Roland put down his fishing rod and stood up, taking a gold coin from his pocket.
"Watch closely, I'll only demonstrate once. This move is called… Railgun!!!"
Ding~
The moment his voice fell, Roland flicked the gold coin from his hand. The coin shot out at three times the speed of sound.
And… under the effect of electromagnetic force, its speed continued to accelerate, piercing through the sky.
Clap, clap, clap!
"Captain is amazing, that move is so cool~"
Nami clapped her hands repeatedly, cheering him on.
"Heh heh, now you try. Here's the technical key…"
Compared to himself, Roland wanted to see Nami learn this move even more, to create a One Piece World version of the Railgun user.
Taking the gold coin Roland handed her, Nami tried several times, but only managed to flick the coin.
"Don't be discouraged, you just got the Thunder-Thunder Fruit. You should go familiarize yourself with the ability first!"
Roland consoled her, assuming Nami was just unfamiliar with her newly acquired ability.
Little did he know, the fundamental reason for Nami's repeated failures was that she was reluctant.
Reluctant to use expensive gold coins as disposable bullets.
After Nami left, Roland returned to his fishing endeavor.
Today might truly be his lucky day.
Before long, another big catch was on the hook.
However…
Looking at the TV remote on the fish hook, Roland was a bit bewildered.
[Ding-dong]
