Ryuen wouldn't let them know his true identity. Such a powerful mythical zoan devil fruit would surely attract many people's envy and fear.
His ability to protect himself was still weak, so he wouldn't expose his identity.
After saving Captain Gulachi and his crew, Nami lost interest in studying the climate along the way, and they returned directly to Cocoyasi Village.
However, Ryuen had an idea for Nami's future. There was a place he hoped Nami could visit, the small sky island Visalia, where the true experts in climate research were.
In the afternoon, after returning to the back mountain of Cocoyasi Village, Nami couldn't wait to go home. As soon as they landed, she opened a space door, and the two kids walked through it, arriving at their doorstep in the blink of an eye.
"Bellemere, Nojiko, we're back!" Little Nami happily shouted towards the open door.
Soon, the sound of joyful footsteps came. It was Nojiko, who ran out as soon as she heard Nami's voice.
"You're finally back! I missed you so much!" Nojiko rushed to Nami, holding her hands, her face full of happiness.
"Hehe, I missed you and Bellemere too. By the way, I brought you gifts this time!" Little Nami proudly raised her head.
At this moment, Bellemere also came out. Seeing Nami and Ryuen return safely, she was finally relieved. The two kids had been out at sea for three days, and she had been worried sick.
Although both kids were legendary devil fruit users, they were still young, and she couldn't help but worry.
"Ryuen, did you encounter any danger this time?"
Bellemere walked up to the two kids, carefully checking their bodies, and gently asked Ryuen.
"Don't worry, Bellemere, we didn't encounter any danger," Ryuen replied softly. He knew Bellemere was worried about them, so he cooperated.
"Bellemere, you can relax. Ryuen is amazing. We met slave traders this time, and Ryuen easily dealt with them!" Nami said happily.
Ryuen thought to himself: Oh no...
"Slave traders???" Bellemere and Nojiko exclaimed in unison.
"What happened? Tell me everything!" Bellemere instantly became anxious upon hearing "slave traders."
Then the four of them went inside, and Nami told Bellemere and Nojiko everything about their first day in Loguetown and meeting Bart.
Once she started talking, it was like turning on a faucet, and Nami went on and on, telling almost everything about their experiences in Loguetown, except for the Marine base incident.
Nojiko listened with wide eyes, her big eyes round with amazement, and she felt even more eager to go out to sea.
Bellemere, however, became more worried. After all, she still thought Nami and Ryuen were too young.
Although Ryuen was very strong, he was only ten years old. No matter how strong he was, he was still a child! So, Bellemere wanted to limit their trips to sea until they were older.
The three kids, of course, didn't know this.
When Nami finished talking about their trip to Loguetown, Nojiko's expectant eyes were fixed on Nami, as if saying, "You said you brought us gifts, where are they?"
Nami saw Nojiko's look and knew what she was thinking. She smiled and pushed to the side, and a small space door appeared in front of the four of them.
"Wow... this Devil Fruit is amazing..." Even though she had seen it many times, Nojiko was still amazed.
"The gifts are all here, there are so many. Bellemere, Nojiko, come in and help carry them out..." As she spoke, Nami eagerly went into the space.
Bellemere and Nojiko followed her in, and they were stunned by the mountain of gifts inside.
Some things, like the Seastone handcuffs and most of the treasure, were hidden by Nami.
But the remaining items still amazed Bellemere and Nojiko.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods, the pile of shiny gold treasure, and the neatly stacked Berries, Nojiko's mouth was wide open.
"Hehehe... Bellemere, Nojiko, these are the clothes I picked for you, and the food in the fridge is all special dishes from Loguetown. And we bought some Den Den Mushi too!" Nami said proudly, seeing their surprised expressions.
"Den Den Mushi? Where?" Bellemere asked eagerly when she heard Nami bought Den Den Mushi. Follow current novels on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
The reason she was so worried when Ryuen and Nami went to sea was that she couldn't contact them. With the vast ocean between them, she didn't know how her kids were doing, so how could she not worry?
"Here they are, Bellemere..." Ryuen pulled out six Den Den Mushi from the goods like a magic trick.
"So many..." Bellemere's eyes widened when she saw the six Den Den Mushi. She knew how valuable they were.
Cocoyasi Village didn't even have one Den Den Mushi, not just because they were expensive, but also because they were hard to find.
"Bellemere, there are six Den Den Mushi here. Two are video Den Den Mushi, two are portable Den Den Mushi, and two can make long-distance calls. This way, we can stay in touch even when we're at sea," Ryuen explained happily.
Hearing this, Bellemere's face lit up with joy. She eagerly took the Den Den Mushi, not even looking at the new clothes Nami bought for her.
Nojiko couldn't understand Bellemere's feelings at that moment.
She was already excitedly trying on the pretty clothes with Nami. After all, what girl doesn't like pretty clothes?
"Alright, let's move everything out first. As for the food, let's put it in the fridge at home. There's an empty one..." Bellemere said, leading the way with the transponder snail.
The three kids started working busily.
This time, Nami and Ryuen bought a lot of things that weren't available in Cocoyasi Village. After moving everything out, the four of them felt that the house suddenly seemed a bit small.
"How about we build a bigger house, Bellemere? We have so many Berries now, how about a villa with an orchard?" Ryuen asked Bellemere softly.
Bellemere looked at Nami and Nojiko's expectant eyes and finally nodded, agreeing to Ryuen's suggestion.
"Alright, let's build a big house!"
Nami and Nojiko cheered immediately, and Ryuen was very happy. After all, they had traveled through time, so they should enjoy it!
