After gathering some more supplies we met with FukuDani who had a gift for us. After we entered his egg shaped home he escorted us to a workshop out back.
"Friends I wish to give you something's that will help you on your journey. Bellamy mentioned he wishes to make a super ship so I'm giving him a material only found on Eggratempest. Our sand!!!"
We all deadpanned at him, sand? Really just sand? He seems to have read our expression. "Hahaha eggra sand is very special you see, this sand has been collected through centuries as the storm shell drags it to our beaches. We then made glass out of it and found its highly resistant to storms after we made our windows out of it during raining season".
I thought about the ship I wished to make in the future. Lilith wood, Bulwaq walrus materials, heat gel stolen from the celestial dragon and now eggra glass. Our ship should be able to sail anywhere as the Lilith wood allows for heat retention meaning no being stuck in the cold. The walrus material will be made into sturdy sails, the gel will coat the ship meaning less damage from canon ball fire and lastly the glass won't shatter in a storm.
Now all I need is the ability to go under water which I can get in saobaody and improved cannons. I recall Franky having made pretty impressive ones that fit into his knuckles and arm. So we grabbed a few barrels of the sand which the ship makers in Water 7 can do something with.
The egg people fixed up the gondola and patched any tears in the balloon. They're more than willing to help as long as you trade with them. I told them we're the moron is and sugar gave them berries. Quetzal is also bringing a wide variety of eggs back along with a few chickens? They're birds that lay different flavoured eggs.
Mani couldn't bring them through as we couldn't get a ring on them so Sofya swallowed them. The egg people's jaws dropped watching her in action. When she finished she had a small blush so I asked "did you.....get your feathers ruffled by that?"
"Hmm? Oh no Bell kun, it's just it felt like I was doing it to Charming all over again and couldn't help feeling a fire burning over it." Ok that's good, she didn't develop a vore fetish, I think? It's not my place to judge considering I reincarnated in an anime world and have been making a harem.
So we boarded the boat and set off, the egg shell is much easier to breakthrough from the inside so it was smooth sailing. The only issue was the fire almost going out as we passed through but the eggra people reinforced the fire system so that wouldn't happen.
After exiting the egg we floated down to the crew who looked on excitedly. Once we touched ground Carina scurried away with the loot and her navigational discoveries gained from the locals. Lami bolted after her demanding answers to her questions so I walked towards Muret and Monet. ""Welcome back captain"" greeted the crew so I waved and started breaking down the short trip. They were curious about what it looked like inside so Sugar and Quetzal painted their memories of it down. Sugars looked like it was camera taken while Quetzal's looked like it was drawn by a toddler.
Sensing my criticism she punched my head but observation haki warned me. Having a devil fruit that can make you into a slinky is so handy. My head just rocks back and forth like a headbanger again a concert until the impact is fully dispersed.
Muret handed me the paper and the headline made my eyes twitch, it confirmed a few of my suspicions about the world or should I say timeline.
I turned to Muret "so then, show me the bottle". She nodded and took me back to the running horny into the captains cabin. Inside on my desk was a tiny green haired Viking stuffed in a bottle.
"Lily the Glutton?" The Viking snapped towards me and replied "that's me! Who are you?" But because she's trapped in glass it was muffled. I then karate chopped the cork of the bottle at high speeds slicing it off. The Viking waddled out a little in awe at my skill.
"So then my name is Bellamy, Captain of the Metallix pirates. I see you've eaten the mini mini fruit. Do you mind making yourself human sized?"
She just tilted her head "how do I go about doing that?" I just pulled a Deku and developed a cooking analogy to help comprehend.
"Alright lily imagine your powers like an oven, the temperature nozzle is your size. Right now your on low heat which is small, your normal size is maximum heat so try turning that nozzle to medium heat." She closed her eyes and let out a little drool which she swiped away quickly. After a minute a devil fruit power effect noise echoed out as she grew to be 5ft 8. She looked at me then compared our heights before growing to he 6ft 9 before shrinking back down.
"No way!!!! Thanks for teaching me that Bellamy! This is awesome!" I chuckled "try imagining the same nozzle on parts of your body. That way in your mini form you could suddenly turn your small punch giant sized".
Her eyes shined as her head expanded then shrunk followed by different parts of her body like her arms and legs. When her bust expanded something on my body was going to grow. She then turned back to normal and sat down a little sweaty.
I went to the corner and pulled out a bottle of water, that reminds me. I need to gave a mini fridge installed. I sat down beside her and handed her the bottle which she guzzled.
"So then Lily enstomach! Why were you stuck in a bottle?" After pulling her blush coloured lips of the bottle she looked back at me before getting depressed.
"My father Panz Fry was captured by the marines. We steal food from they that they ship off to those bastard world nobles and feed them to the poor. The marines caught him and shipped him off to impel down to use as a threat against their giant members. I was hiding in that bottle abroad the ship transporting him before it was attacked and I was lost at sea".
Hmm her event happened much sooner, I've botched the timeline is a little skewed as according to the paper Muret handed me Luffy just managed to beat Crocodile whilst the marines covered it up saying Smoker did it. There was also a bounty for 'Hyena Sarquis- 55 million' which should have been my previous selves bounty.
I was born later in the timeline it seems, or that events started sooner. Either way it just makes things more interesting. I turned back to Lily "so your a giant chef from Elbaf?"
She nodded "well I need to head to Elbaf eventually to find a poneglyph, so Lily wanna join my crew?" Her head expanded as she said "ehhhhh" while I laughed at the sight of it.
"But I'm planning to break into Impel down! I couldn't implicate you in that". "Not to worry, I was already planning on going there anyway. Having a crew member in trouble is a much better reason"
Her giant sized jaw dropped at what I was saying, yeah I was planning to go there so what? They have some tough people there who I could invite or some neat devil fruits I could take. I know for a fact they have a devil fruit collection farm in the prison that I would very much like to raid. Not to mention those spiky trees would make a great addition to my ship by fortifying it. I could make a battering ram out of it.
I began listing such reasons to Lily who couldn't believe how crazy I am. "But doing that would make the world government go after you". I just turned to her and smirked "Lily~ I have a bounty for 450 million for destroying the G4 base, messing up all the den den mushi lines in paradise, destroying a cypher pole base, making an island collapse and killing a celestial dragon (allegedly). I'm also thinking of attacking all three of the marine strongholds. Adding you is just cream on the apple pie~".
Her face paled at my crimes list, she didn't know about me because she was trapped in the bottle. But when she heard the end bits she began crying "I'd love to join your crew Bellamy! If you can spring my father then I'll even become your woman!"
"Hahaha springing is what I do, come on let's go meet everyone else". I then gave her a handkerchief I stole a while back for her to clean her face. She liked it so I said she could keep it, it belonged to Gion so I feel no issues with giving it away.
Lily's bounty is 214 million by the way cause she's a new world pirate but isn't well known. She can use haki and is amazing at stealth not to mention her being a citizen of Elbaf which the government is always clambering to know about.
When I walked out Lami appeared infront of me "Bellamy the next island is Jaya, we're setting a course now" I just grinned as I might get to meet several strong people. "Go on ahead, also get everyone on the deck to meet our new member". She eyed Lily who looked a little nervous, she then looked back to me before licking her lips. Welp guess I'm getting some later, Zoan users have a strong sex drive after all.
