Harem Navigation: Starting from Overthrowing Nami

Reno narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had originally thought he would miss Luffy, but he didn't expect to run into him after all.

Seeing Luffy, Makino's pupils contracted slightly, and her nerves immediately tensed up.

She still clearly remembered the words Reno had spoken in the tavern.

Makino subconsciously clenched her fists, praying inwardly that no conflict would break out later.

Along the way, Luffy and Zoro chatted and laughed.

When they were just a few meters apart, Luffy also spotted Makino in the crowd.

He spoke up in surprise: "Makino, what are you doing here?!"

Makino first glanced at Reno, then replied with a smile, "Luffy, long time no see. Same as you, I sailed out."

Nani?!

Luffy tilted his head, full of question marks.

"Makino, did you become a pirate too?!"

Even with Luffy's carefree personality, he was taken aback when he heard Makino had sailed out.

What's going on here?!

He vaguely remembered Makino once advising him that the world outside the village was dangerous and not to become a pirate, so why now...

Makino silently nodded in response.

"Makino, we should go."

Reno said flatly, striding toward the village entrance.

Nami and Kaya, who weren't interested in Luffy and his companion, followed closely behind.

After glancing at Luffy, Makino quickly caught up.

Knowing Luffy was fine was enough; she didn't want to linger here.

Luffy scratched his head in confusion. When had Makino become so strange?

Driven by a need to get to the bottom of things, Luffy blurred into motion, blocking Makino's path, and pressed, "Makino, what's wrong with you?!"

"Scram!!"

A cold, utterly impatient voice rang out.

Reno looked over coldly.

Luffy turned to Reno, frowning. "Hey, what's your problem?! I just wanted to..."

A few words were too many.

A terrifying aura erupted from Reno, instantly enveloping Luffy.

A pressure like a mountain suddenly descended, weighing Luffy down, his face twisting.

"Luffy!!" Zoro's expression changed, and he drew his blade in an instant.

The moment his hand touched his waist, an invisible force swept over him.

Like Luffy, Zoro's movements froze instantly as he struggled against the overwhelming pressure.

The escalating aura drained the color from heaven and earth.

Usopp's face was horrified, and he collapsed to the ground, pale.

Wait... he'd been here the whole time—had he missed a step somewhere?!

Luffy and Zoro's minds went blank.

Their heads buzzed with noise.

Reno stared coldly at Luffy. Though he found him annoying, he hadn't planned to bother with him.

But this guy stuck to him like a plaster—who else was he supposed to deal with?

Then he looked at Zoro.

More precisely, at the Great Grade Sword Wado Ichimonji in Zoro's hand.

He happened to be lacking a suitable weapon right now.

Maybe Wado Ichimonji wasn't a perfect fit for him, but it was at least far better than the one he was using.

The sword he currently used was a scrap he'd picked up from a pirate ship.

The quality was too poor.

Just then, an aura burst forth from both Luffy and Zoro.

Especially Luffy—it felt like some invisible force inside him was about to awaken.

"Hm?" Reno glanced at Luffy. A spontaneous power-up at any moment?!

He wouldn't give them a chance.

Reno's eyes sharpened, long blade in hand, and he swung directly.

Swish swish

Swish swish

Several sword slashes shot out in succession, tearing through the air with a series of breaking sounds, and struck straight onto the two of them.

On the chests of Luffy and Zoro, two cross-shaped, vicious wounds suddenly appeared. Power erupted, and the immense impact instantly sent both of them flying.

A patch of blood scattered across the ground.

At the same time, Reno's figure vanished abruptly. Before the two could land, his palm struck heavily.

Luffy and Zoro's eyes rolled back on the spot, and they fell unconscious.

Reno glanced at the two of them with no ripples in his heart, then stored Wado Ichimonji into the System Warehouse.

He had no Killing Intent toward Zoro. The reason he didn't kill Luffy was entirely because of Makino.

Perhaps his place in Makino's heart had already surpassed Luffy's, but she had still watched Luffy grow up.

A lesson was enough. If They Really killed Luffy in front of Makino, she would break down.

That wasn't something Reno wanted to see.

Besides, Reno had never seen Luffy as a threat from start to finish.

Such severe injuries would be enough for the two of them to recuperate here for a while.

They wouldn't cross paths again anytime soon.

Makino let out a soft sigh and said to Usopp, who was still in a state of terror, "I'll trouble you to take care of them for a while."

"Okay." Usopp agreed instinctively.

Makino then took Reno's arm and said softly, "Let's Go."

Reno smiled and nodded.

Nami and Kaya held hands and quickly followed.

It wasn't until Reno left that Usopp gradually snapped out of his terror.

Then he slapped his forehead hard and regretted, "Wait, what does them getting hurt have to do with me? Why the hell did I agree?!"

Damn it.

Kaya had left, and he'd been rejected from boarding the ship.

Now he had two more burdens.

Usopp struggled inwardly, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to abandon the unconscious Luffy and Zoro here.

He carried them back to his house and took care of them attentively.

Request Flowers, Request Tickets.

Chapter 15: The Weather-Weather Fruit's Owner, Helping Nami Overcome Her Fear! (Request Data)

Another fine and sunny day.

On the Merry.

Reno continued to play the role of Helmsman.

Under Nami's constant scolding, he kept adjusting the direction.

Kaya began to train her body and strengthen her physique.

To fully develop the Healing Fruit, physical fitness was the foundation.

She didn't want to hold everyone back.

Makino, as usual, prepared three meals a day and started brewing alcohol in her spare time.

Both Reno and Nami loved drinking the wine she made.

This gave Makino a strong Sense of Accomplishment, and she thoroughly enjoyed this job.

Seeing the Girls each doing their part, Reno's mood lifted greatly.

Beautiful women really brighten one's spirits.

When bored, he'd cop a feel, and at night, he'd delve deeper into navigating maritime techniques.

Kaya's arrival upgraded the three of them from playing Dou Dizhu to playing mahjong.

Coupled with the Healing Fruit's removal of negative effects, Reno could basically ride freely.

Life was sweet, Sexual Bliss without end.

On the deck chair, a bored Nami sensed the surrounding weather conditions and casually asked, "Reno, where's your next destination?"

"I'll plan the next route in advance."

Reno spoke almost without hesitation: "Cocoyasi Village."

"Cocoyasi Village?! I know that place well, I—"

Nami answered instinctively, then caught herself, her expression turning grim.

She stood up and looked at Reno, her voice trembling: "Can we go somewhere else? There are plenty of other islands in the East Blue, I can take you to—"

"Nami!" Reno's voice suddenly turned serious.

"Reno, we really can't go there." Nami's voice gradually choked up.

The time she'd spent with Reno was some of the few happy moments she'd had in years.

She didn't have to think about anything.

Sure, Reno wore her out every night with his antics, but aside from that little quirk, he treated her better than anyone ever had.

Having spent years among merchant ships and pirate crews, she could tell at a glance who was genuine and who was faking it.

Reno was without a doubt the former.

That was exactly why she couldn't take him to Cocoyasi Village.

If Arlong saw Reno, he'd never let him go.

If Reno insisted on going to Cocoyasi Village, she'd have no choice but to say goodbye to him early.

But she wasn't ready to leave Reno just yet.

Reno saw the pain twisting Nami's face and sighed inwardly.

Eight years. Arlong had truly become a nightmare in Nami's heart.

The moment Cocoyasi Village came up, those painful memories flooded back like a tidal wave, tormenting her.

Reno locked eyes with her and said seriously: "Nami, listen to me. You're my woman now. I'll make everyone who ever brought you pain Pay the Price—even Arlong, no exception."

In Reno's gaze, Nami saw unwavering resolve.
