Beside the island, on a clearing, Ryuya with a simple wave of his hand, summoned a massive pile of gold.
The sun shone brightly, the gold shimmering in the distance. Everyone instinctively squinted, unable to look directly at it.
Only Nami's eyes transformed into dollar signs.
In a flash, she was beside the "gold mountain," throwing herself onto the pile.
"Wow, this is incredible! I've never seen so much gold!"
"Are you really giving me all this?"
"Of course. Use your power to turn it into a golden ship."
Nami nodded vigorously, exhilarated.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped back a few paces.
The others held their breath in anticipation.
Nami extended her hands, closed her eyes, then opened them sharply.
The surroundings shifted; the gold flowed, engulfing the mountain, transforming into a liquid form at an accelerated rate for maximum efficiency.
Directly converting the gold was faster and more efficient; if she used her awakened ability to directly alter the surrounding environment, the gold would revert to its original state once the awakening ended.
This was why Ryuya and his crew had been diligently searching for gold.
The liquid gold, under Nami's control, swirled, taking shape according to the blueprints.
Soon, Nami was drenched in sweat.
She knew it wouldn't be easy, but the reality was far more strenuous than anticipated.
The weight of the gold mountain was overwhelming; she couldn't sustain this for much longer. Exhaustion threatened to incapacitate her.
Just then, Ryuya appeared beside her, activating his magic.
The gold felt lighter, more responsive to her control, taking shape according to her mental image of the design.
The golden ship began to take form, but Nami had reached her limit.
She couldn't even lift a finger.
Ryuya gently lowered the partially formed golden ship.
"You've worked hard. Rest, then we'll try again."
Nami nodded. The project was immense; it needed to be a single, seamless creation to ensure stability.
Multiple fusions would make the ship unstable, potentially causing it to shatter during battle.
Hancock approached. "Since it can't be completed now, let's have a feast! I've prepared plenty of food and drinks!"
Ryuya, as the king, readily accepted and joined her in the palace.
They feasted, recounting recent events.
The next day, Ryuya levitated the gold using his magic, and Nami again used her awakened ability to liquefy it and reshape it.
She failed again, but Ryuya wasn't discouraged. He simply had her record her insights for future application.
After a month on Amazon Lily, at sunrise, Nami stood on the shore.
This time, without Ryuya's assistance, she would attempt to complete the golden ship using her own power.
Ryuya offered encouragement and support, standing beside her.
Nami took a deep breath, her gaze firm, and extended her hand.
Her power awakened! The gold liquefied, but this time, far more smoothly and effortlessly than a month prior.
This was the result of her hard work.
She finally had the confidence to complete the golden ship.
She focused intently, shaping the liquid gold according to the blueprint, her movements almost automatic from repeated practice.
Time passed. Islanders began their morning exercises.
Many, witnessing Nami and Ryuya, silently watched, offering silent blessings for her success.
Nami, drenched in sweat, her hands trembling, persevered…
