"Too noisy."
Reno shook his head and directly used force to suppress Nami.
Realizing the gap in their strength, Nami dropped her tough attitude from earlier and put on the appearance of a delicate little woman.
"My lord, I only got these by taking risks. Please be kind and don't take them from me."
Nami pressed both hands to one side of her cheek, her tone turning soft and syrupy.
Seeing that Reno had no reaction, Nami gritted her teeth. "As long as you give the money back to me, I'll do anything you want."
Anything?!
Reno smiled.
Exactly what he wanted.
Reno nodded in satisfaction. "Not a bad attitude. From now on, you're the navigator of the Reno Pirates. As long as you join my pirate crew, I can consider letting you keep this money for me."
"I'll join!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Nami immediately nodded in agreement, her voice firm and decisive.
It was just one sentence. There was nothing to think about.
Once she tricked him into handing over the money, she would make a run for it.
Noticing the cunning look in Nami's eyes, Reno smiled.
Joining his pirate crew was not as simple as agreeing verbally.
He was also looking forward to seeing what reward he would get after subduing Nami.
A flash of white light passed, and the bundle in Reno's hand vanished.
"Huh?!!"
Nami's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in a comical fashion.
It disappeared.
The gold and silver treasures worth Ten Million Belly had simply vanished right before her eyes?!
"Where did it go?!"
"Where did all my money go?!"
"You... Lord Reno, where did my money go?!"
Nami flailed about in panic, so anxious that she nearly cursed.
Where the hell had this bastard put her money?
That was a full Ten Million Belly.
"First of all, this is the Reno Pirates' money. I haven't agreed to let you keep it yet."
"Second, as the navigator who just joined, shouldn't you be carrying out your duties?!"
Reno corrected Nami's mistakes one by one.
As for the vanished treasure, of course he knew where it was.
How about taking a look at the System Warehouse?
"My duties?!" Nami froze, then quickly understood.
Wasn't it just navigation?!
For her, it was as easy as eating and drinking.
Wait.
Why was Reno looking at her so strangely?
"What duties are you talking about?!"
Nami swallowed, crossing her arms over her chest as she asked tentatively.
Though she had never been with a man before, she was no thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child.
She was already an eighteen-year-old adult.
Reno shrugged and chuckled. "Between a man and a woman, what do you think it is?!"
Before Nami could refuse, Reno added, "That's Ten Million Belly."
The refusal that was about to leave Nami's lips got stuck in her throat.
Reno was right. That was Ten Million Belly.
If she missed this chance, her plan to buy back the village would be delayed by several more months.
Thinking of Arlong's cruelty, she truly did not want to wait any longer.
Wasn't it just getting stirred around with a stick a couple of times?
After comforting herself, Nami took a deep breath. With a sweet smile on her face, she stepped closer to Reno and spoke in a seductive voice. "Captain, you said it yourself. Once we're done, you have to let me keep the money."
Reno smiled and wrapped an arm around Nami's slender waist.
He took her to a relatively clean room.
The moment the door closed, the two began this task that lasted for over four hours.
At first, the work did not go very smoothly.
Nami was still inexperienced. She knew nothing about the process or details of the work and could not cooperate well with Reno.
But under Reno's thorough instruction, Nami's nature was completely unleashed, and the two became increasingly in sync.
It had to be said that Nami had talent for this work. In many areas, she could even draw inferences from one example.
Once they found their rhythm, Nami even forgot that her original purpose had only been to muddle through it.
As the work was about to end, Nami took the initiative to finish up, not leaving behind a single drop.
"It's already late. Rest first. We'll set out tomorrow," Reno said gently.
Nami did not force herself to stay awake. After such intense work, she truly was exhausted.
After tucking Nami in, Reno left the room.
He entered another empty room.
Though the details of the work from earlier were endlessly memorable, in the Pirate World, strength was king.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully subdued Nami and may receive a reward. Claim it?]
"Claim it."
Reno did not hesitate.
Wasn't subduing Nami all for the reward?!
Did she really think he was just lustful?!
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Power of Shennong Beast. It can be optimized according to the worldview of One Piece. Optimize?]
"Shennong Beast?!" Reno stroked his chin thoughtfully.
If he remembered correctly, the Shennong Beast was a healing-type Divine Weapon Beast from Fantasy Warriors. Its Divine Weapon, the Shennong Ruler, could heal all injuries.
Good stuff.
The Pirate World was fraught with danger, and getting injured was unavoidable.
With the Shennong Ruler's healing ability, as long as he was not killed instantly, couldn't he roam around however he pleased?
"Begin optimization," Reno replied.
The so-called optimization function was exactly what its name implied: keep the essence and discard the dregs.
[Optimization successful. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Healing Fruit.]
(I originally wanted to call it the Heal-Heal Fruit, but after checking and finding out that it belonged to Princess Mansherry, I changed it to the Healing Fruit.)
Notes! : The optimized Healing Fruit not only perfectly fused with the Shennong Ruler's Healing Power, but could also regenerate severed limbs and remove multiple negative conditions from the human body. : Devil Fruits awarded by the system had no side effects, were not afraid of Seawater, and could stack with other Devil Fruit Abilities. : If a Devil Fruit awarded by the system was used by someone other than the Host, the Host could share that user's Devil Fruit Ability.

First Reward: Healing Fruit! (Asking for Data)
After reading the Healing Fruit's description, Reno truly fell in love with this system.
It was really considerate.
It could improve his strength while also letting him show concern for the beautiful women of the Pirate World. Killing two birds with one stone.
System Sister was the best!!
Every note hit Reno right where it mattered.
Cure all illnesses, regenerate severed limbs, and remove various negative conditions.
Seeing this, the first person Reno thought of was Kaya from Syrup Village.
Though she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she had been weak and sickly since childhood. She suffered from illness for years and spent every day in low spirits.
Kaya's image appeared in Reno's mind: a kind and adorable little beauty.
Because of her illness, her face lacked the healthy color of an ordinary person.
Reno did not know how serious Kaya's illness was, but he believed that before the Healing Fruit manifested from the Power of Shennong Beast, every incurable disease could be cured.
Moreover, Kaya's dream was to become a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded. No one was more suitable for the Healing Fruit than her.
Most importantly, even if Kaya ate the Healing Fruit, Reno could still share her Devil Fruit Ability.
It really was killing two birds with one stone. Perfect.
Was this the joy of a player with cheats?!
Reno felt a little dazed.
In just one day, he had experienced a true roller coaster of highs and lows.
Graduated from college → dreamed of acquiring America → got hit and sent flying by a truck → transmigrated into the Pirate World and became a complete weakling → system awakened, beginner gift pack, instantly becoming a powerhouse at the level of a Rear Admiral → took down Nami, Healing Fruit →?!
This was probably more exciting than most people's entire lives.
Reno stretched out his right hand, and a strange-looking fruit, green all over, appeared in his palm.
It suited the Shennong Beast perfectly. Even its color had been manifested.
After taking a quick look, Reno stored the Healing Fruit in the System Warehouse.
A Devil Fruit could only display its power after being eaten. Just looking at it revealed nothing.
That night, Nami slept deeply.
It was not that she trusted Reno that much, but because she was truly exhausted.
She had just started a new job and worked for four hours straight, trying many different methods and approaches. By the time she finished cleaning up—
Fatigue washed over her like a tide, and even opening her mouth to speak became a luxury.
Reno did not disturb Nami, nor did he worry that she would run away.
Not to mention that he had Observation Haki. Nami could not escape at all.
Nami would not easily give up the gold and silver treasures worth Ten Million Belly either.
And so, the night passed without incident.
The next day.
Reno rose early and tidied up the rather large pirate ship.
He washed the bloodstains from the deck.
