326. Hotel? Zivago
Bepo was silent and thought of it for a second. At the end, he realized except for the big muscle head which they had attained from the auction for free. He was powerful for sure, but Bepo was the Vice Captain and he had been the main force of fighting since the beginning.
Now the words of Ken made him realize that he was also the main fighting force and if push came to shove, he would have to save the Captain too.
"I understand. I will work hard."
"You have heard of the Mink tribe's Sulong mode right?"
"Of course I did. But I have never used it." Bepo replied.
"Hmm.. You should practice the Sulong mode when the full moon arrives. Get a hold of it." Ken said. He said that because the Sulong mode of Bepo was really powerful and he had already asked Chopper to make medicines that would allow a Mink to go into Sulong mode.
And given the nature of Chopper's character, it should be easy to make good medicines. A medicine that would help them unleash the power for longer time and with no side affects. The reason why Ken had faith in Chopper to make a better medicine was because of his character. Chopper had a pretty broken character as his side piece to begin with. And that was Arceus.
Yes, he got the God the Pokemon to be the 2nd character and though Chopper was progressing pretty slow, there were pretty good advancements. And Ken had a good hope that he would be able to make better medicines using his new godlike abilities.
While they were training, he suddenly got a notification.
[
Character progression from Nami - 100%
]
Seeing the notification, it brought a smile on his face. Nami had been working hard and that too very unusually. She was someone who was innovative and she had used her innovations when it came to Avatar character. With the help of bending and Ken suggestions, over the last 2 years, she was able to learn more bending that came out of it.
Blood bending, Lava bending, Lightning bending. The only thing that she couldn't learn was to fly in the process of air bending. She had tried hard but Ken had said that in order to fly with air bending, one would have to give away all the spiritual attachments and Nami had too much tied down to be able to give away.
So even though she couldn't fly without the broom, she was quite the bender and a magician. As Ken was thinking of all the hardships Nami had went through. She came jumping to Ken. It's because she too felt that she had finally achieved what she had been trying and progressing the best way possible.
"Everyone, we have a new one." Ken shouted. This was enough to bring everyone out of stupor of training and make a run to Ken. Seeing Nami, they already realized that she had completed her character.
The Straw Hats excused themselves and went out far away from the eyes of the public and the Heart Pirates. If Law had accepted the deal, Ken would have allowed them but since he was adamant on being the Captain, let him be.
"I hope I can fly this time." Nami said.
"You have broom and can teleport. What more do you want?" Ken asked.
"You don't understand. Flying is something I always wanted." Nami said.
"I thought all you wanted was money." Ussop complained only to be laughed by everyone.
"Flying is dangerous. One mistake and your whole body will be like a paste." Robin said. And everyone's body shuddered thinking about that.

Simulating character for Nami...
Character chosen..
]
Everyone was again dragged in to the story once again. It had been a long time for them so they were thrilled. Though Jinbei got the character quite recently, the Straw Hats normally would see one new character on each new island so not seeing on in Dressrosa was a massive disappointment.
"Even after seeing the second time, it's still hard for me to believe it." Jinbe said as Nami vanished from their sights.
"Right." Luffy showed his usual goofy style and was happy to be here again.
Nami again got a gender changed character. She was born quite the handsome baby and had white hair. Ken when watched the character instantly knew why Nami was given the character. Because both of them have one thing in common.
The ability to steal.
The young boy grew up poor and would often steal, but he was kind of bad at it and was caught often until he met a man who helped and mentored him to be a better robber. And thus he started his journey of being the one who wanted to steal everything. Nami seeing the same ability to steal had bellies in her eyes.
But both of their motivations were different. Nami wanted to be rich while the guy did it more so out of boredom because in the heart of his heart. Nami couldn't understand his thought process. One day he and his mentor decided to meet up and got for another heist but the boy was caught by the guards and were beaten very badly and his mentor decided to abandon him because his own blood son was in danger.
In essential the boy got betrayed but he was able to escape.
Later he got the inspiration to go after the legendary Fountain of Youth and confront the saint. Yes the story here is of Ban, One of the deadly sin and named Greed. The story showed but, he an almost emotionless man, went from nobody to falling in love with the Saint of the tree and how she died to save him.
He regretted his life too much and just wanted to die to save her back. Eventually he got accepted as one of the Seven Sins along with his Captain, whom he had great vibe with. His exploits were legendary and he did everything possible to bring his Elaine back.
He even went to the Underworld, just to bring her back to life. The story was so touching that Chopper and others cried seeing how eternal the love was. This rattled many people.
