For example.
Nami was watering the orange trees when Reno passed by and casually reached out to smack her butt.
Kaya was seriously reading a medical book when Reno appeared from who knew where and kissed her cheek.
She had seen similar scenes dozens of times over the past few days.
But the girls seemed to have gotten used to it.
Aside from Nami constantly stomping her feet in anger, the other girls would all smile and enthusiastically indulge him.
Carmen would even take the initiative to lean closer and ask for affection.
It left Tashigi completely dumbfounded.
If she could still accept all that, what truly made her break down was—
Merry really had no soundproofing!!!
Even with earplugs in and her head buried beneath the blankets,
the sounds still rhythmically poured into her ears.
She could not avoid hearing them even if she wanted to.
Although Tashigi had never experienced such things herself, she was not completely ignorant about them.
Anyone could tell from those repetitive sounds what the two of them were doing.
And it lasted so long.
Back when she was in the Marines, she had accidentally overheard some people discussing such risqué topics.
She remembered one Marine proudly boasting about his undefeated forty-minute record.
The other soldiers had been incredibly envious.
But Reno... seemed to start at several hours.
Wasn't that a little too outrageous?!
Thinking back on Reno's actions, was that the little fun between men and women?!
Tashigi was immediately at a loss. Every time she saw Reno, she lowered her head and did not dare meet his gaze.
"Is this part of the crew's duties?! Am I going to have to..." Tashigi twisted her hands together.
This was the question that had been troubling her these past few days.
She had promised Reno that she would correct him before he made mistakes, but after thinking it over, this seemed to be perfectly normal human behavior, didn't it?!
Unless there was something wrong with his body.
But if Reno really wanted to do that with her... what was she supposed to do?!
Tashigi was lost again.
At the dining table.
"Tashigi, leave your door open tonight. I'll come over and teach you some navigational knowledge," Reno suddenly said.
"Ah?! Okay." Still thinking about certain things, Tashigi nodded instinctively.
Nami and the other girls looked at Tashigi with strange expressions.
What an adorably foolish girl. She agreed so readily without even knowing what she would go through tonight.
The girls exchanged knowing glances, then all lowered their heads and snickered.
Their laughter pulled Tashigi out of her thoughts. Her large dark eyes were full of confusion. "What are you laughing about?!"
Carmen looked at Tashigi helplessly. "Dear little sister, can't you hear the sounds at night?!"
"That's the captain teaching us things."
"What?!" Tashigi cried out, and the knife and fork in her hands clattered onto the floor.
Her little face turned red as an apple.
Was this teaching really proper?!
The girls suddenly understood. So she already knew. That made things easier.
"U-understood, Captain."
Tashigi lowered her head and answered. Amid the girls' laughter, she struggled to finish dinner.
Dear readers, please send flowers, rating votes, and monthly tickets. Thank you for your support.
Luxury Reward: 120 Haki Fruits! (Please support with data)
That night.
Reno's study session with Tashigi was very brief, lasting only two hours.
Of course, that was mainly because Reno wanted to take Tashigi's feelings into consideration.
It was worth mentioning that Reno had originally thought Tashigi was merely inexperienced, but it turned out she was truly completely inexperienced.
Among all the women he had subdued, Tashigi was genuinely one of a kind.
The novelty was maxed out.
After thoughtfully tucking Tashigi in, Reno left the room.
"Claim reward."
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained 120 Haki Fruits.]
"120 fruits?!!"
This time, Reno truly could not hold himself back.
He continued reading the system's notes.
Of the 120 Haki Fruits, 50 are Observation Haki Fruits, 50 are Armament Haki Fruits, and 20 are Conqueror's Haki Fruits. Consuming different types of Haki Fruits will awaken the corresponding Haki. If the user has already awakened Haki, consuming another fruit of the same type can increase its strength, though the effect will be limited. All Devil Fruits produced by the system have had their side effects removed and can be consumed without concern.
Reno understood.
As expected of the Subdue Beauties System, this reward was clearly meant to enhance the girls' strength.
Among the Plot Beauties who appeared in the pirate world, only a handful could fight. The vast majority were non-combatants.
Even fewer had mastered Haki.
But with these Haki Fruits, they could skip the time spent training and awaken Haki across the board.
Tell him—wasn't that terrifying?!
Even if it was only the lowest level, they would at least gain some ability to protect themselves.
Especially girls like Kaya and Makino, who had absolutely no fighting ability.
Reno would protect them, of course, but as the saying went, relying on yourself was better than relying on others.
Reno rubbed his chin and carefully recalled all the beautiful women throughout the Four Seas Area, the Grand Line, and the New World.
There were roughly fifty of them, and nearly one-fifth had already mastered Haki.
There were more than enough Observation Haki Fruits and Armament Haki Fruits.
As for the candidates for the Conqueror's Haki Fruits, he needed to choose carefully.
First of all, they had to be combatants.
Nami was highly suitable.
What?!
Nami didn't have the aura of a king and couldn't bring out Conqueror's Haki's true power?!
During battle, Reno only needed to shout that the enemy wanted to take all her money and leave her without a single cent.
And that they were going to dig up her orange trees.
Nami's momentum would definitely soar as she swept the whole battlefield.
After hearing that, if you were Nami's enemy and still didn't run, Nami would count you as ↑.
If she let you escape, Nami would be ↓. (Couldn't type the gesture.)
Reno happily put away all the Haki Fruits.
Tomorrow, he would give the girls a little surprise.
He had realized that as long as it was a surprise, no matter how big or small, the girls would be happy for days.
The next day, after breakfast.
Reno took out twelve Haki Fruits covered in spiral patterns and placed them on the dining table.
Six were white, and six were black.
The white ones were Observation Haki Fruits, while the black ones were Armament Haki Fruits.
"Devil Fruits?!!"
Nami, Kaya, Nojiko, Tashigi, Carmen, and Makino all looked over in surprise.
They were no longer ignorant newcomers. They recognized them as Devil Fruits at a glance.
Though their colors and appearances were not quite the same, those spiral patterns were unmistakable.
Ordinary fruit did not have them.
"So many Devil Fruits?! Captain, where did you get them?!" Makino moved closer, her face full of confusion.
For a rare treasure like a Devil Fruit, getting even one was a gift from the sea.
Most people would never see a Devil Fruit in their entire lives.
To them, Devil Fruits existed only in legends.
Yet Reno had taken out twelve at once?!
Could he have another identity as a Devil Fruit Wholesaler?!
"But why are they all the same color?!" Kaya softly asked after noticing something strange.
Wasn't every Devil Fruit supposed to be unique?!
Reno smiled and rubbed Kaya's forehead. "Do you remember the three types of Haki I told you about?!"
"These Devil Fruits are all Haki Fruits. Eat a white one, and you'll awaken Observation Haki. Eat a black one, and you'll awaken Armament Haki."
"And..." Reno looked at Nami and Kaya, emphasizing, "the two of you can eat them too. There won't be any side effects."
Kaya and Nami immediately looked delighted.
Since Reno said they could eat them, then they definitely could.
"Are these really for us?!!" Tashigi, who had only just become a woman, pointed at herself with a delicate finger.
Oh my god, what kind of pirate crew was this?
The moment she arrived, Reno gave her a Great Grade Sword.
And only a few days later, he was giving her two Devil Fruits.
Was this... what it felt like to be cherished?!
Tashigi's head grew dizzy again.
"Of course they're for you. Since you're all my women now, everyone gets some." Reno raised his brows smugly.
The girls blushed shyly.
The moment he finished speaking, Nami pounced on him. "I want them!!"
"Me too!!"
"Save two for me!"
