Chapter 27 Bell-lin's Special Beverage
On the Nicholas Pirates, as they parted ways with Roger and the others, they also planned to head to their next destination.
Just as Nicholas and Vistad were engaged in their daily sparring, before long, Bell-lin came out of the Laboratory carrying a tray with a pile of Bottles and Jars.
After placing the things on the table on the Deck, she casually pulled over a Lounge Chair and comfortably lay down on it.
For Nicholas and the others, although this Pirate Ship was not as fully functional as the Thousand Sunny, and didn't even have a Lawn, it was still much better than a Pirate Ship made by binding a few pieces of Timber together. At least they could be comfortable on the Ship, of course, this was only for the Officers on board.
As for ordinary Pirates, they didn't have this kind of treatment. For them, it was already a great favor from Nicholas to hand in fewer items when they plundered.
In Nicholas's surprised gaze, a Wine Glass suddenly appeared in Bell-lin's hand, and then it quickly filled with bright Fruit Juice. This suddenly appearing Wine Glass was like a work of art, even emitting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
As for the Fruit Juice, it even exuded a sweet aroma from a distance.
"What smells so good?"
Simon walked down weakly from the Masthead after completing the 10,000 Bullet shooting practice Nicholas had assigned.
For Simon, these 10,000 shots were not only a double test of his psychology and spirit, but also a huge test for his Body.
If it was just casual shooting, it naturally wouldn't be like this. Nicholas required him to use Observation Haki to concentrate his mind and lock onto the Target area to be shot each time he fired.
It was even perverted to the point of making him shoot at the waves on the Sea Surface, constantly using Observation Haki to capture the randomly generated waves on the Grand Line hundreds of meters away from the Ship, and hitting them the moment they appeared.
It could be said that this kind of hellish practice was simply torture.
However, although Simon had some complaints about the training, he never gave up, because he knew that Strength was the most important thing on the Sea, and 10,000 Bullets was a considerable expense, which he basically couldn't afford, let alone 10,000 every day.
Most importantly, he liked the atmosphere between Nicholas and the others, and he loved shooting.
"This is a Special Beverage I specially prepared. It contains Dragon Snake Grass, Passion Leaf, Rosh Fruit Fruit Pulp, and Xi Lai Flower Nectar. It can strengthen the Body, restore spirit, and improve a person's concentration. In short, it's good stuff."
Bell-lin said while flipping through some Books exchanged from Roger's Ship. For a Pirate Crew like the Roger Pirates, they had also collected many precious Books during their long adventures, which were all intangible Wealth.
"Simon, Miss Bellin's Special Beverage is very precious, but who told you you're a newcomer? This opportunity is for you."
Vistad, who followed Nicholas over, said with a simple and honest smile.
Hearing Vistad's words, Nicholas immediately glanced at the big guy beside him in surprise.
"Vistad is right."
"Then can I try it? Sister Bei Lin."
Katie, wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat, asked Bell-lin, holding the Cake she had finally made.
"Katie, this is a Beverage that Sister has prepared for Brother Ni Gu La Si and them. If Katie wants to drink, Sister will make another cup for Katie later."
Bell-lin said with a smile as she looked at Katie beside her.
Hearing everyone's discussion, Simon also felt that this thing was likely to be good stuff, so he picked up the Crystal Goblet that looked like a work of art and directly raised his head and gulped it down.
Soon, Simon felt the effects Bell-lin mentioned. First, a heat current suddenly surged from inside his originally tired Body, rushing from the soles of his feet straight to his brain. Then, his Body began to be filled with Power. After that, he felt that his spirit, which had been consumed due to excessive concentration, was also rapidly recovering.
It could be said that his whole person had never been in such good condition.
"Wow, what is this? It's really amazing! I feel like my Body is full of Power now."
Simon said with a look of surprise. If there was a large supply of this Beverage, he believed his Strength would definitely usher in rapid growth.
Hearing Simon's words and seeing Simon's condition, Nicholas and Vistad exchanged glances, both revealing doubts in their eyes. This was different from what they expected.
Just as Simon felt that he had inexhaustible energy and was planning to go for another few thousand shots, suddenly his face changed, and then his legs clamped together in a pigeon-toed stance. He moved towards the Ship Cabin Interior with rapid small steps, the speed so fast that it even produced afterimages.
"Eh, that's right!"
Nicholas nodded involuntarily as he watched Simon's disappearing back as he entered the Ship Cabin. This was the normal reaction after drinking Bell-lin's newly developed Beverage.
"It seems it still needs improvement, but the beneficial effects are obvious. As for the adverse reactions, are they reactions caused by insufficient Physical Prowess?"
Bell-lin made notes while looking towards Nicholas and Vistad's location.
Just as Vistad showed a simple and honest smile, he realized that Nicholas's figure had long since disappeared, and immediately showed a smile that was even uglier than crying.
On this Ship, he and Nicholas had the strongest Physical Prowess. Now Nicholas had run away, and Miss Bell-lin's meaning was also very clear. Obviously, the next lucky (unlucky) guy was him.
"Well, Vistad, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated. Then the next improved version will be for you to be the tester."
Bell-lin nodded and said.
In the evening, a Banquet was being held on the Deck. It wasn't that everyone didn't want to stay in the Ship Cabin, but the Ship Cabin had been filled with an unknown smell since the afternoon, and even entering the Ship's interior could make people feel nauseous.
So Nicholas also ordered people to open all the windows inside the Ship Cabin and seal off the Passage to the Deck.
Despite this, during the Ship's voyage, yellow unknown odorous gas could be seen floating out of the Ship Cabin windows on both sides. Even in the places the Ship passed, many Small Fish with white bellies floated on the Sea Surface, and those Seabird that mistakenly ate these Fish were also floating blankly on the Sea Surface.
"Captain, let me out!"
Accompanied by a shrill cry and the sound of banging on the door, interspersed with the sounds of "puci, puci, beng!"
The Pirates looked at the door leading to the Ship Cabin, and listened to the ghost-like sounds behind the door, also feeling cold all over.
Many people even silently moved their butts as far away from Bell-lin as possible, as if this could bring them a sense of security, even though Bell-lin was with Nicholas and others, and had no intention of approaching them at all.
"Little Katie, didn't you say you wanted to drink Beverage during the day? Here, this is specially prepared for you by Sister."
After speaking, Bell-lin conjured another Crystal Goblet from her hand, and it was filled with a turbid liquid of light green color.
"Katie, thank Sister Bei Lin."
Nicholas said to Katie, looking at the thing in Bell-lin's hand.
Vistad also showed a look of desire in his eyes, only he knew how hard-won this thing was.
"Thank you, Sister Bei Lin."
Katie said and drank the Beverage.
After drinking, Katie quickly fell asleep, and a smile appeared on her face, as if she was dreaming of something beautiful.
And inside her Body, earth-shattering changes were taking place.
