7 Chapter 7 Devil Fruit
"I am sorry!! " says Alex and Nami at the same time making each other surprised and looking at one another in silence and wonder.
"What are you sorry for? " they again says at the same time and for a while as if something has synchronized them they would ask the same thing and finally with a strategic understanding Nami asks him "Alright you go ahead and explain first? "
"Umm~ " after a while of thinking Alex decided to explain himself "This morning when I had regained my consciousness thanks to you, instead of thinking you I had forcefully assaulted you.
Believe me I wouldn't ever do something such so low but at that time I don't know what came over me.
I know what I says might sound like an excuse but at that time my head was not clear, maybe it has something to do with my near death experience or you are just too beautiful that I lost my mind. "
At this point Alex covered his head for protection since he is not sure about her reaction but he has to says what is in his mind and there is no regrets anymore, if I am going down then I am going to go down like a man but after a while of waiting there was no response from her making him open his eyes just to find her face covered with red blush before asking "Umm~ Nami? "
"Why are you giving me that look for am I that dangerous or I don't look beautiful anymore? " although it is not the first time for her to receive a confession with her beauty however it is different when the guy as handsome Alex and not to forget he is also the only man with whom she has a physical relationship even if it's the first step.
However, when she looks at him just to discover his worry now she regrets her earlier actions.
"No, no, no~ you are very beautiful but it's just I am in the wrong sooo~ " as if a little kid made a mistake Alex looks down evading any eye contact or he is just too shy, well this is his first time confessing to the opposite gender.
"Hehehe~ you are so funny silly, I am not mad at you anymore so stop getting yourself worried for nothing, alright. " looking at his childish behavior Nami couldn't stop herself from laughing before she explains her thoughts.
"Really? " asks Alex with surprise as he looks at her smiling face just to lose himself in a daze.
"Yeah~ so you can stop getting worried about that since I am now thankful since you have saved me earlier and got yourself injured in order to save me while I had even misunderstood you.
So I am really sorry and just hope you can… "explains Nami with a serious face before she gives a bow to him to express her feeling.
"No, what are you doing? I am not angry at all. " says Alex quickly stopping her from bowing to him.
"Then we are cool right? " asks Nami with a smile looking at him.
"Yeah, I think we are if you don't have any problem. " says Alex with a smile before asking "Umm, Nami since we kissed and have an understanding does that make us a couple? "
"Getting an inchi don't ask for a yeard. " says Nami with anger stopping him from overthinking himself even if he is her type but sigh≈
"Why, isn't it enough for us to be in a relationship when we have an understanding among us. " says Alex in regret not understanding if a kiss wasn't enough for them to be in a relationship after all he is a pure man from two lifetime with little to no experience.
"No~ we need some time before we can come to an understanding. " says Nami shaking her head when Luffy calls for them from below "Nami you aren't bullying Alex again, are you? "
"Shut up Luffy, do you think I am that kind of a person? " asks Nami with anger.
"Then what's taking you guys so long come here we need to decide who will be in watch tonight. " says Usopp as they walk towards the front deck of the ship.
After a while of discussion, Alex agrees to stay awake and responsible for the first
Shift while Usopp will take care of the second shift.
"So where is our next destination Luffy. " as the meeting is over Nami went to prepare for dinner while Usopp is working in his room and Zoro is training so it's only Alex and Luffy left idle at the moment.
"We need a chef before we headed to the Grand line. " says Luffy with a smile looking at the subset.
"So where do you plan to hire the chef from? " although he knows who might join next however he is still curious about what Luffy thinks.
"Don't worry we will get the best in the world. " says Luffy with a wide smile shifting his head at Alex who is only left speechless at his confidence while asking "How can you be so confident? "
"Dinner is ready everyone, come join while it's hot. " calls out Nami from the kitchen.
"You will see. " left Luffy with a smile while Alex follows behind shaking his head "I wonder if he is just a fool or just too smart. "
-------------------------------
"Call us if you feel tired. " says Usopp with a smile before walking to his room with a reassuring smile on his face.
"Follow Nami's instructions for now. " says Luffy before he went to sleep.
"Don't hesitate if you need something. " says Nami with a smile before she went to sleep.
"Then I will be going up. " says Alex with a smile before informing Zoro who is training.
"Hey, let me know if there is any danger. " says Zoro with a smile while doing push-ups.
"Sure. " says Alex with a nod before he went to the ship's mainmast.
After arriving at the main mast of the ship Alex looks at the endless sea while marveling at everything that happened.
Transmitting into the One Piece world is surely crazy and that pain was nothing to laugh about since that was enough to make him believe it as reality, besides that he has lost his consciousness more than once so waking up and imagining to return is only some wish.
Good thing he has a System to help at least anyway he doesn't have anyone who will miss him if he were to return to Earth, so it might be better for him this way.
Anyway, it's about time "Storage. "
⟦Ding!
Storage: Unidentified Paramecia Devil Fruit, 1x Pistol of the previous generation, 1x Devil Fruit Identification card⟧
"Finally I am alone and it's time to see what kind of power I gain from this Devil Fruit. " says Alex before clicking on the Devil Fruit icon and a dark grwy rock like fruit with ring patterns arrived in his hand and looking at it he couldn't help but gulp some saliva before taking a small bite out of it "I know I need strength to survive in this crazy world but I hope it doesn't kill me but first System use the Identification card on the devil fruit. "
⟦Ding!
Devil Fruit: Magnet Magnet Fruit: Model World Magnet. ⟧
After reading the notifications and the description of the fruit Alex couldn't help but exclaim with a smile "Damn I can become like Magneto if I eat this.
Although the range of my control of metals is only 10 square meters but I think it's already overwhelmingly good enough since I am almost as weak as a bug before the monsters at the moment.
Now that I think about it Kid also has a Devil fruit related to the Magnetic energy and it a looks apmost like mine whatever why do I need to care about him .
Let me do it. "
