In the abandoned room, Blueno looked at the empty room with confusion.
They had clearly surrounded the place, so how did the people disappear after they entered? And there were obvious footprints on the ground.
This strange situation left the CP agents puzzled.
In a green alternate space, little Nami was holding Ryuen's hand, breathing heavily from the recent tension.
"Nami, how are you so good at using the Door-Door Fruit?" Ryuen was shocked by Nami's action.
"Huh? Door-Door Fruit?" Nami only now realized what had happened.
She had used the Door-Door Fruit ability unconsciously because she was too anxious.
It was as if she was born with this ability.
"That's right, the fruit you ate is the Door-Door Fruit. It seems to be able to open a door anywhere, just like you did just now," Ryuen said seriously.
Nami didn't respond to Ryuen immediately. She was thinking about the Door-Door Fruit's ability.
Slowly, a smile appeared on Nami's little face. "Really! Ryuen, this Devil Fruit's ability can really open doors anywhere!"
She even thought of many ways to use the Door-Door Fruit.
Ryuen was also very excited now. He had guessed right, Nami had eaten the Door-Door Fruit!
Nami looked at Ryuen, and at the same time, Ryuen looked at Nami. For a moment, both kids had a mischievous smile on their faces.
They both understood what the other was thinking!
"Let's see if those people have left, Nami."
"Okay! Watch me!"
Nami gently pushed open an air door from another place and peeked her little head out.
"Ryuen, there's no one outside. Let's go!" Nami said and carefully walked out of the alternate space.
Ryuen immediately followed Nami.
The place where Nami opened the door was no longer in the same room, and they were now outside the abandoned city.
"Cool, Nami, this ability is amazing!"
Ryuen had thought the Door-Door Fruit's ability was powerful, but he didn't expect it to be this incredible!
"Hehehe, from now on, we won't be afraid of being discovered. The Door-Door Fruit ability is so useful." Nami was very happy. She loved this ability.
"Nami, can you open a door anywhere now? Like to our Cocoyasi Village?" Ryuen asked tentatively.
"Hmm~~ no, Cocoyasi Village is too far. I can only open doors like just now, from the room we were in to here. To open a door to a farther place, I need to become stronger." Nami thought for a moment and shook her little head.
"Got it, that's still amazing, being able to transport such a long distance." Ryuen nodded. This also matched the Devil Fruit's rules. Nami was still young, so she couldn't open doors too far away.
"Let's go, Ryuen. Let's check out other places. Maybe there are more Devil Fruits!" Nami, having tasted success, was even more eager now.
Now that she had the power of the Door-Door Fruit, she was much braver.
"Alright, let's go~"
"Let's go, treasure hunting~~"
"Nami, how about you train with me from now on?"
"No way, that's too tiring~"
"Give it a try, if you get stronger, you can open doors to farther places."
"No! I don't want to train!"
"Come on, the cutest Nami, just try it~"
"No!"
.....
The two of them chatted happily along the way.
They changed direction and continued their treasure hunt.
It was already noon, and they needed to return to Cocoyasi Village on Aihai Island before dark.
After walking for more than two hours, Ryuen and Nami passed through a forest and arrived at another city.
This city was much smaller than the previous one and just as ruined, looking like a wasteland.
Having learned from their first encounter, they were much more careful this time.
Ryuen and Nami didn't separate and searched together, so they could leave quickly if discovered.
They headed straight for the central houses of the city.
From experience, rich people usually lived in the center of the city, where the chances of finding treasure were highest.
After about ten minutes, Ryuen and Nami arrived at a relatively intact building.
The two kids exchanged a knowing glance.
"Yeah!"
"Let's go in and see!"
The two kids nodded heavily and walked in hand in hand.
It was noon, and sunlight streamed in from all directions, casting a dappled light on the dusty floor.
Tap... tap... tap... tap...
Ryuen and Nami walked on the solid floor, making rhythmic sounds.
Ryuen saw broken paintings on the walls and shattered valuable antiques around.
"The people who lived in this house must have been very wealthy nobles!" Ryuen said confidently.
"I think so too. I wonder if there's a devil fruit here~" Nami was now obsessed with devil fruits because they were so valuable.
As usual, they walked into a study, and there was a map on the wall.
Ryuen couldn't see it, but Nami looked at it carefully.
After a few seconds, Nami looked away and turned to the bookshelf, while Ryuen started searching the study.
Nami stood on tiptoe and took a book from the shelf, flipping through it. Not interested, she tossed it aside.
Suddenly, she noticed a few books on the top shelf that caught her interest.
"Ryuen, come help me get those books down." Nami pointed to the top of the bookshelf.
"Oh, coming." Ryuen walked over, saw the shelf was too high, and moved the desk over.
He then jumped onto the desk and took down the books Nami pointed to.
"Here, Nami."
Nami dusted off the books and opened them.
"Wow~~"
"They're all about climate! These books are amazing, Ryuen!" Nami was very excited as she looked at the contents.
"That's great! Now you can learn more about the climate, Nami!" Ryuen was also happy. His navigator was going to improve!
Nami cleaned the books and opened a space door to put them inside.
Ryuen believed that getting these books would make Nami happier than finding treasure.
Next, they searched the whole house but didn't find anything valuable.
"Grumble~~~"
"Ryuen, I'm hungry, what should we do?" Nami asked, holding her growling stomach with a sad face.
"Um~~ I think...." Ryuen thought, rubbing his chin.
Suddenly, Ryuen's eyes lit up, and he said to Nami, "Nami, let's go hunting in the forest we passed by earlier. There are many animals there, and we can bring some meat back to Cocoyasi Village. How about it?"
"Great, let's go, Ryuen!"
