On island in the sea, East Blue.

...

...

"Congratulations, Nami, you ate the Eikon Eikon no Mi, Model: Garuda!" Luffy said happily and looked at Nami's status in the system.

-----------------------------

"What?!" Nami exclaimed, feeling the changes in her body like never before in her entire life; she seemed to be experiencing immediate transformations upon consuming the fruit.

"Are you feeling the effects already? HAHAHAHA! That's good..." Luffy commented, watching Nami look at her hands in disbelief as some lines of green energy appeared and disappeared rapidly, as she didn't have much control.

Everyone around was curious about these changes the navigator and the captain were talking about because Nami didn't seem to have changed physically in the eyes of the group.

"Luffy, I feel much stronger for some reason; it's like I'm overflowing with energy!" Nami forgot about the fact that she had depression after seeing billions of berries disappear before her eyes for a new feeling of ecstasy at this moment, feeling the changes in her body.

"Hahahahaahaha. That's how it is; let's do a test. Punch me now! I want to see what you're capable of right now!" Luffy spoke excitedly, and Nami agreed with the captain.

Approaching him, under the gaze of everyone, she leaned back with her arm and punched Luffy in the chest, who was using no support other than his own physical strength to withstand the blow.

*BOOM!*

Nami punched Luffy point-blank, causing him to recoil 10 meters with the impact in the next moment, while his feet were dragged by the beach sand.

"?!" The expression of surprise was collective because they saw her try to punch Luffy a moment ago without even scratching his body. Even Luffy looked at her with some amusement.

Now she had much stronger strength, even though, despite everything, she only made him retreat a few meters. But this was a surprising change in the captain's opinion, as she used to be the weakest in the group until a moment ago!

"Hahaha!" Luffy began to laugh while massaging the part hit by her punch.

"I can say I felt that, Nami! Good job, but your potential is much more than that!" Luffy was getting more and more excited. One thing is to be a strong captain and have to do everything for the crew while being practically a babysitter in the group; another is to have capable and reliable companions that Luffy could trust for tasks too dangerous for most people. He wanted a crew like that.

"Luffy, how did I become so strong?!" Nami knew she had changed, but her punch was so powerful that it surprised her to the core; she would have killed a normal person with that. She still had difficulty absorbing this information.

"Nami... Don't underestimate yourself; this is just an initial strength. As far as I know, the physical specialty of your fruit is agility and mobility, as you control the wind and can fly with wings. Not to mention, you can create giant claws and control them within a certain range, making the versatility of your abilities very powerful—even more versatile than my Eikon!"

"I can fly? Control the wind and even create those claws?!" Nami was incredulous at this information, becoming more and more stunned as she realized how powerful her Devil Fruit was.

"Do you think 5 billion were just for you to increase your physical abilities?" Luffy teased her.

"I... Thank you..." She looked at Luffy for a while and thanked him, going to him and giving him a sincere, strong hug. No one had ever done something so grand for her before; there was no way she couldn't be moved.

"Thank you! I don't know what else to say, but no one has ever done something like this for me before..." She admitted in the midst of the hug with these very words, showing her true gratitude as tears began to run down her cheeks and a content smile appeared.

Luffy returned the hug as his arms enveloped her back and waist.

"Nami... Don't worry; I always saw potential in you, as someone reliable from the moment I laid eyes on you in that Buggy's cage," Luffy said sincerely.

"But you turned me into a servant and made me clean your ship!" She complained as she leaned back and punched Luffy's chest with feigned anger.

"Well... Someone wanted to take all my treasures at the time; I had to punish that person in a certain way," Luffy smiled, looking at a raised-eyebrow Nami.

"Fair enough..." Nami admitted in the end.

"Could you two stop flirting in front of the group?" Lami scoffed, interrupting Luffy and Nami from continuing this kind of conversation as they embraced so intimately in front of them.

"This time, I have to agree with the emo here..." Reiju said.

"Who are you calling emo, curly eyebrows!" Lami expressed her anger.

"Hm?! Call me that again, and I'll kick your butt!" Reiju hadn't liked this woman from the beginning.

"Wanna try? I'll be happy to cut someone like you!" Lami growled.

"Could you stop fighting too! Where did this come from?!" Kuina complained from the side.

Luffy sighed at this too, foreseeing that this fight would be a recurring event during their journeys in the next years or decades together.

"Stop this; I want to celebrate with the group right now. We have two giant prawns to eat and plenty of drinks in stock, so I want to have a feast here, not see idiots fighting!" Luffy stepped away from Nami and went to them with the navigator in tow.

"Feast!" Jhonny, Yosaku, and Usopp cheered immediately, knowing the experience of the parties made in the last few days on the ship; they could indulge in food and drink to their heart's content.

It didn't take long, and the beach quickly filled with utensils that Luffy took from the ship. Using his fruit, he enlarged the size and reduced the weight to facilitate Reiju's work with the food.

"So Luffy, you mentioned the ability to exchange berries for things; you just skimmed over something like that. How exactly is that? No one should do that just like that..." Lami looked suspiciously at Luffy, who was now drinking sake with Zoro by his side, as they seemed to be the people who loved this type of alcoholic beverage the most in the crew.

"Hm?! It's true; I didn't explain that properly. As I said, I can buy anything that no one has claimed..." Luffy looked at the doubtful faces around him, as the question attracted everyone's attention, even Reiju stopped cooking and seasoning the prawn meat to listen at this moment.

"The concept isn't difficult, but explaining what a system is complicated for them..." Luffy murmured and continued his reasoning with the group.

'That's 700 million, so I expect a ship even superior to the Thousand Sunny, which the original Luffy spent 300 million on without labor.'

As soon as he clicked yes, his money dropped to 220 million, and the ship in front of him with a goat's head began to dismantle. Luffy quickly used his power to muffle the sound intending not to wake anyone up. He wanted to see the stunned looks on everyone's faces when they saw the ship in front of them for the first time.

The ship silently started to disassemble, with the pieces floating in the space around it, as it unraveled and remodeled with other pieces appearing out of nowhere.

A massive Adam wood emerged, forming the skeleton and base of the ship, a sight to behold as the ship magically assembled in front of him.

Zoro looked incredulous at this scene, as he was the only one awake, wondering what his captain was doing a little away from the ship on his own. He couldn't help but drop his drink when he saw the scene before him. Zoro saw Luffy take out the ship he received from Kaya, and soon after, the ship began to disassemble by some strange force and was being reconstructed as something new, something black and powerful, much larger in size.

"How is this possible?" He asked with disbelief, watching the ship being reformed in front of him, transforming into something new, something formidable.

A moment later, Luffy looked at the ship in front of him, satisfied.

'It may not be a battleship the size of Krieg's, but it's certainly like a navy warship, much better than those of the Buster Call! Not to mention the difference between this and the ones they've been using so far is staggering!'

"What are you doing here, so close! I don't like you!" Luffy heard Reiju's voice growling from the beach, and his eyes went directly to the duo fighting early in the morning.

"It seems I was hasty in thinking they would get along..." Luffy said mentally, feeling a bit tired.

"What did you say, curly eyebrows! Do you think I want to be by your side? I'll cut your feathers and put them on your back!" Lami growled.

"Threaten me one more time, and I'll kick you straight into the sea!" Reiju gritted her teeth.

"I don't want you near me!"

"Get out of here!"

Both said at the same time and then stared at each other with sparks crossing their eyes.

"What is this early in the morning!" Nami complained as she got up next to Kuina.

"These two are fighting again..." Kuina said beside her.

"What a headache..." Jhonny complained.

"This noise doesn't help at all..." Yosaku said beside him.

"Sharky!"

"You're right, Lami-Sama and Reiju-Sama are so scary this morning..." Shirahoshi cried next to Megalo.

"Hm? What is this noise early in the morning!" Yamato got up, yawning.

"Bark! Bark!" Chouchou complained, while Usopp quietly got up next to him.

Zoro was still standing, looking at the new ship now next to the marines, wondering if he had drunk too much or if he was still sleeping and dreaming.

"Hey, Luffy! Hm?! WHERE DID THIS SHIP COME FROM?!" Nami shouted in surprise at Luffy on the beach. She went to find the captain to resolve the situation between the girls and saw him standing in front of a black warship with the same Holly Roger as Luffy's cloak, a skull with crossed bones, wearing a straw hat.

"Hm? You guys finally woke up! Look, isn't it obvious? This is our official ship, the Black Pearl!" Luffy announced, earning incredulous looks, even Lami and Reiju stopped fighting to look at that monster, much larger than the medium-sized marine ship next to it.
