"By the way, after defeating Crocodile, I got his Sand-Sand Fruit. Does anyone want to eat it?" Amber took out the yellow Sand-Sand Fruit and asked everyone.

"A true swordsman does not need to rely on external forces. I want to become the world's number one swordsman with the sword in my hand," Zoro declined first.

"I have already eaten a Devil Fruit, so I can't eat a second one," Chopper said from the side.

"My situation is the same as Chopper's," Robin said with a chuckle.

"What about you, Nami?" Amber asked, holding the Sand-Sand Fruit.

Nami looked at the Devil Fruit and thought of how she always needed protection in battle. She wanted to help Amber and everyone, and she didn't want to be a burden anymore.

"I want to eat it!"

"Nami, have you thought it through? You won't be able to swim after eating this Devil Fruit," Amber asked again.

"I don't want to be a burden to everyone anymore. I want to eat it!" Nami looked at Amber with determination.

"Okay! Since you've decided." Amber handed the Sand-Sand Fruit to Nami. "You only need to take the first bite."

Nami took the Sand-Sand Fruit and took a bite. "Ugh, it's so disgusting!"

"You have now become a Logia Sand-Sand Fruit user. Feel the changes in your body and try using your ability."

"Yeah." Nami closed her eyes and carefully felt the changes. Soon, she controlled her arms to turn into sand.

"You adapted so quickly, Nami. You're amazing!" Amber praised her. "The starting point of a Logia Devil Fruit is higher than that of ordinary fruits. As long as you work hard to develop it, it's not impossible to become the next Crocodile. You might even surpass him."

"Surpass a Shichibukai?" Nami repeated in disbelief.

After that, Nami began developing her Sand-Sand Fruit abilities and training in Haki under Amber's guidance. Amber had taught all the members how to train in Haki, so their strength should progress more than in the original story.

The next stop was decided to be Jaya Island, also known as Mock Town.

Amber's goal was the Poneglyph on Skypiea. As for Enel, Amber asked the system about him. Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit was extracted by the system before he discovered it, meaning Enel would not become the god of Skypiea.

Sailing days are always boring. Five more days of sailing passed.

"It looks like we're almost there. There's an island nearby," Nami said with a smile, looking at the Log Pose.

"I hope that island is our destination, Jaya Island," Amber said, stretching. He was bored from the sailing days. Except for occasionally electrocuting fish in the sea, there was basically no other entertainment.

Suddenly the sky darkened, as if there was a solar eclipse.

A huge shadow appeared in the sky ahead, shaped like a human, holding a spear, with two small wings on its back. It was as tall as a thousand feet.

"What is that? A giant? It's much bigger than the two giants on Little Garden!" Nami said in surprise.

"Wow! Such a big giant!" Chopper exclaimed.

Even Zoro and Robin, who were usually calm, looked surprised.

Only Amber knew it wasn't a giant, but the shadow projection of people living on Skypiea.

"Since we can see this kind of scene, it means we are not far from Jaya Island."

After several hours of sailing, they finally arrived at Jaya Island.

Mock Town on Jaya Island was a town of pirates, and most of the pirates gathered there were extremely vicious.

So the whole town had no rules. Burning, looting, murder, arson, drunkenness, and street fights were commonplace. This was a paradise for pirates.

After landing on Jaya Island, Amber and the crew were ready to gather information.

After all, many years had passed, and Amber could only remember the general content of the original story. Unless it was a big event like the Summit War, he couldn't recall specific details.

Amber, Zoro, and Nami decided to go to the town to find information, while Robin and Chopper stayed behind to guard the Thunder.

After finding a random bar, Amber decided to go in and investigate.

Everyone inside looked at the three who entered, but no one reacted. Amber casually ordered a glass of wine from the bartender and started asking for information.

"Have you heard of Skypiea?" Amber handed over a large bag of Belly.

"Skypiea? There are still young people who believe in such mythical legends? But for this amount of Belly, I'll tell you about it!" The bartender took the Belly and started talking endlessly about the legend of Skypiea.

"Nami, Zoro, we have the information. Let's go!"

As soon as Amber stood up, several thugs surrounded him.

"Kid, I heard everything just now. You're actually asking about the legend of Skypiea? Some people still believe in such old legends? Hahaha!" One of the blond thugs laughed.

"Did you hear that? These people actually believe Skypiea is real! Hahaha..."

"Hahaha!" The pirates in the tavern began to laugh.

"What does it matter to you whether I believe it or not? If you don't want to die, get out of the way," Amber said calmly.

"Haha... You're really arrogant! Newbie pirates like you, who talk about dreams and always daydream, really make me angry!" The blond thug smiled but suddenly stopped, swinging his fist at Amber.

"Pah!" Amber easily caught the fist and looked at the thug coldly. "You are like garbage. I didn't want to kill you, but you insist on seeking death." Then he punched the thug in the face.

The thug flew out, his neck turned 360 degrees, and it was obvious he was dead.

"What? This kid actually dared to fight back!"

"Everyone, let's kill him."

"Someone call Boss Bellamy."

The pirates rushed over.

"Zoro, Nami, don't leave anyone alive. These pirates are vicious scum who kill civilians," Amber said coldly.

He brought Nami to train her fighting ability and will.

"Yes, Captain." Zoro pulled out a sword, expressionless.

"Y-Yes, Captain," Nami said timidly, turning her right hand into a sand blade.

"Ah--"

"Help!"

The one-sided battle ended quickly, but several pirates had escaped. They seemed to be looking for their boss, Bellamy!

Looking at the bloody corpses, Nami's expression was a bit pale.

"Nami, I know you're kind at heart, but kindness is for good people. There's no need to waste it on pirates who enjoy killing," Amber said, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"But..." Nami still couldn't accept that she had killed so many people.

"Nami, as long as pirates like this exist, there will be more oppressed villages like Cocoyasi Village..."

"I understand. I will never be confused again. I will use my power to protect everyone," Nami said firmly.
