Chapter 28: Reno's Dream, Carmen's Wild Beauty! (Request Data)

At this moment, Reno still didn't know that his battle with Hawk Eyes had unexpectedly won him the favor of Chef Carmen, smoothly leading to her joining the pirate crew.

Outside the restaurant.

Sparks flew.

Reno grew more excited as he fought, his eyes blazing.

Swordsmanship, Haki, Teleportation, Healing Power.

One technique after another.

Hawk Eyes, on the other hand, grew more frustrated with each exchange.

And he finally remembered what that familiar feeling was.

"Who is Golden Lion to you?!!"

In the heat of battle, Hawk Eyes asked in a low voice.

He'd felt earlier that Reno's moves seemed familiar.

They were clearly Golden Lion's signature techniques.

Could Reno be Golden Lion's disciple?!

Was that Sick Lion still alive?!

Reno knew Hawk Eyes had misunderstood, but he didn't plan to explain.

"Hahaha, Hawk Eyes, Defeat Me, and I'll tell you."

Hawk Eyes: If you don't want to tell me, just say so.

Fine.

Clang!!

Black Blade Night slid back into its sheath.

Reno paused, then reappeared: "Why stop?!"

He was just getting into it.

Hawk Eyes twitched the corner of his mouth but answered honestly: "Your swordsmanship and Haki aren't as good as mine, but... I'm no match for you."

A fair assessment.

Reno's unpredictable Teleportation Power gave him major trouble.

Even Observation Haki was useless against it.

If Reno's Haki were on par with his, he'd lose instantly.

As the World's Greatest Swordsman, he'd seen plenty.

But Reno's Teleportation Power was Unheard Of, completely unreasonable.

What shocked him most was that Reno kept using Teleportation and swordsmanship nonstop without any loss of stamina.

No flushed face, no heavy breathing.

The East Blue was a strange place.

Supposedly the weakest sea.

First there was the Sea King that bit off Shanks' arm.

Now there was a Guy even he couldn't beat.

Krieg was easier to bully.

Krieg: ??

Feed me peanuts.

"You're right, Haki is my weak point." Reno nodded, not denying it.

His current Three types of Haki were still from the beginner's gift pack, at the lowest level.

Compared to Hawk Eyes' Haki, it was naturally far inferior.

But with Teleportation and Healing Power, he could never lose.

He might not win, but he'd never be defeated.

"Now can you tell me your name?!" Hawk Eyes repeated his earlier question.

"Reno, Captain of the Reno Pirates, a Newcomer who just Sailed Out." Reno answered truthfully this time.

Hawk Eyes nodded expressionlessly.

After a moment's hesitation, he pressed on: "Reno, what's your dream?!"

Reno: ??

Why the sudden, random question.

Hawk Eyes stared at Reno, with an attitude of not stopping until he got an answer.

He wanted to know.

A Newcomer Pirate, already wielding such a troublesome ability.

What about later?!

Weak Haki could be learned.

Once Reno's Haki improved, combined with infinite Teleportation, he'd be unstoppable.

In Reno, he saw the power to stir up storms.

So he urgently wanted to know Reno's ultimate goal in sailing out.

Pursuing wealth?!

Power and status?!

Or the throne of One Piece?!

Or something else.

Reno thought it over, clasped his hands behind his head, and turned toward the dining hall.

At the same time, a light, airy voice drifted out.

"I want beauties, lots and lots of beauties."

Hawk Eyes: ...

Fine, you win.

"Reno, I'll be waiting for you in the New World." Hawk Eyes grinned in Reno's direction.

Someone like Such a Person was destined not to hole up in the tiny Sea Area of the East Blue.

They'd meet again.

Reno waved a hand without looking back.

Hawk Eyes left, riding his Coffin Small Boat, carrying his frustration away.

He couldn't wait to find Shanks and have a good talk.

Talk about the Sea King, about Reno, about this bizarre Sea Area of the East Blue.

Before leaving, he slashed Krieg and Akin, who were trying to Seize the Opportunity to slip away.

Krieg's pirate dream was utterly shattered.

Seeing Reno approach, the diners gathered at the door made way, watching him with either admiration or fear.

"Brother Reno, you're amazing."

"Captain."

"Reno."

Kaya and All the Women called out to Reno.

Reno gave a slight smile in response.

"What are you doing here?!" He quickly spotted Chef Carmen among All the Women.

The usually brash, bold Chef Carmen seemed off.

She was acting like a little woman, all shy and fidgety.

"Ahem." Nami cleared her throat, pulled Chef Carmen over, and said solemnly, "Reno, let me properly introduce you. This beautiful Chef Carmen, as of now, is officially joining the Reno Pirates."

"She's already a member of the Reno Pirates."

Reno: ???

This good of a deal?!

What the hell is going on?!

He hadn't even made a move, and Chef Carmen was joining?!

He just fought Hawk Eyes, and now he had one more Beauty Crewmate. Sweet.

"You didn't do anything to her, did you?!" He looked at All the Women.

All the Women shook their heads in succession, indicating they'd done nothing.

"Captain, they didn't do anything to me. I wanted to join on my own. Please take care of me from now on." Chef Carmen stepped forward and extended her hand.

Looking at Chef Carmen's wild, primal beauty, Reno suddenly felt something stir.

Immediately after, he settled the bill, led all the women back to the Merry, created an island cloud, and dragged the Merry up to a thousand-meter high sky.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, completed in one go.

All the women were stunned.

"I knew it would be like this!!"

Watching Reno and Carmen vanish from the deck with a whoosh, Nami stomped her foot in anger again.

She didn't need to guess what they were off doing.

Nojiko and the other two women covered their mouths, snickering.

"Looks like I'll be losing sleep again tonight." Makino yawned.

"Kaya, the Merry's soundproofing is terrible—was it built with shoddy materials back then?!" Nami demanded, hands on her hips.

Kaya spread her small hands, looking helpless: "I didn't know it would turn out like this either."

Nami let out a sigh.

She'd be sporting dark circles again tomorrow.

Chapter 29: Overbearing Tidal Hand! (Requesting Data)

This lesson in navigation had far exceeded Reno's expectations.

Carmen gave him a completely different feeling from Nami and the other four women.

The four women showed a clear similarity in learning navigation techniques—they were all passive learners, struggling to take the initiative.

Even when drawing inferences, they were still somewhat clumsy.

But Carmen was different.
