She could fight Crocodile, while he was helpless against her.
Kaya and the others immediately crowded around her, throwing themselves into Nami's arms with helpless looks on their faces.
"Nami, we're all counting on you. You have to defeat Crocodile."
"Yeah, Nami, you have to protect us."
Nami looked at her sisters, who were suddenly putting on an act, and could neither laugh nor cry.
She immediately planted her hands on her hips, raised an eyebrow, and promised,
"Don't worry, everyone. As long as Reno is here, everything will be fine."
After saying that, Nami cheekily stuck out her tongue at Reno.
Reno shook his head helplessly.
"Everyone, rest up first. Once the pointer has fully charged its magnetism, we'll set off for the next island."
Nine o'clock that night.
The pointer took an hour longer than expected to store enough magnetism.
Reno brought Nami, Tashigi, Vivi, Nojiko, Kaya, Makino, Carmen, and Valentine—the eight women. Somehow, there were already eight of them—back to the Merry, preparing to set sail.
As for Igaram, he took Vivi's Permanent Pointer and returned to Alabasta ahead of them.
He planned to tell King Cobra the news.
Reno was naturally happy to see that happen. He did not want any other men coming aboard the Merry either.
Besides, he still had to recruit Goldie on the next island.
Alabasta was rotten to the core anyway. A day earlier or later would make no difference.
What surprised Reno was that Robin had not appeared at Whiskey Peak like she had in the original story.
He had no idea what had gone wrong in between.
In truth, Robin had already seen their Bounty Posters. The moment she saw their portraits, she recognized Reno and Nami.
One had a bounty of thirty million Belly, and the other had a bounty of fifty million Belly.
Although her bounty was higher than theirs, those who understood the reason understood it.
Meanwhile, they possessed genuine combat power, especially Nami, who was a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user.
Her delicate body could not withstand that. She had to run.
Amid the women's laughter and chatter, the Merry set sail once more.
After dinner, the women tacitly left.
Valentine nervously entered her room. This was her first time living on a ship with so many people.
It felt strange.
Before the door had even closed, Reno followed her inside.
"Captain... is something the matter?!" Valentine's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously swallowed, her chest rising and falling unsteadily.
"You're not a child. Why pretend you don't understand?!"
"A lone man and woman together at night—what do you think we're going to do?!" Reno skillfully shut the door and got straight to the point.
Valentine instinctively backed away. Of course she knew, but did he have to be this impatient?!
It was only the first day.
Reno did not care about any of that. His wicked hand reached out, and the tingling sensation made Valentine's body tremble.
Valentine gritted her teeth. Now that she had betrayed Crocodile, following Reno was her only chance at survival.
Having figured that out, Valentine tossed away the hat on her head, raised her right leg high, and directly pinned Reno against the wall.
Their faces gradually drew closer. A seductive curve formed at the corner of Valentine's lips as her jade-like hand gently lifted Reno's chin. In a beguiling voice, she said, "Captain, please be gentle with me."
Please send flowers, monthly tickets, and rating tickets.
Three types of Haki Cultivation Manual! (Seeking support)
"Claim the reward." In the room, Reno, free of negative effects, felt refreshed and invigorated.
New experience +1.
It was worth mentioning that every woman he had taught, whether she had been reluctant beforehand or actively cooperated,
reacted exactly the same way several hours later.
Those who understood, understood!
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the Three types of Haki Cultivation Manual.]
What was this??
Could he awaken all Three types of Haki just by learning it?!
Reno was doubtful and immediately looked at the system's notes.
Through optimization, the user can rapidly improve and master the quality and usage techniques of all Three types of Haki. Observation Haki: Meditation Cultivation Method! Armament Haki: Tempering Cultivation Method! Conqueror's Haki: Dream Cultivation Method! This manual is suitable for any Haki awakener.
After reading the system's explanation, Reno was overjoyed.
Simply put, by cultivating according to the Three types of Haki Cultivation Manual, quantitative change would bring about qualitative change, allowing him to master higher-level Haki applications in the shortest possible time.
Such as Future Sight with Observation Haki, and even the rarer Listen to Inner Voice.
Internal Destruction with Armament Haki.
Conqueror's Haki Infusion with Conqueror's Haki, and even Observation Kill.
What moved him the most was using the Dream Cultivation Method to cultivate Conqueror's Haki. In other words, could he become stronger just by sleeping?!
After all, he currently had twenty Conqueror's Haki Fruits, enough to awaken Conqueror's Haki in twenty women.
With the Dream Cultivation Method, before long, the Reno Pirates would have twenty people capable of Conqueror's Haki Infusion?!
Even Observation Kill?!
This... was this the joy of a player with cheats?!
The entire Pirate World probably could not even find twenty people with Conqueror's Haki, right?!
Conqueror's Haki Infusion was even rarer.
As for Observation Kill, it seemed that, up to this point, only Shanks possessed it.
But it did not matter. As long as Reno had time, nothing would be a problem.
When the time came, he would bring twenty women to activate Observation Kill, turning all their enemies into blind and deaf fools.
In a sense, the strongest of the Three types of Haki was not Conqueror's Haki, but Observation Haki.
It was only because Observation Haki became so widespread after entering the New World that it no longer seemed so important.
"Time to cultivate!!!"
Reno was going to sleep.
The next day.
At the dining table.
With Valentine and Vivi joining them, the dining table that had once been just the right size was already starting to feel crowded.
"Carmen, when we get to Alabasta, remember to replace it with a bigger dining table. There'll only be more women on the ship in the future."
"Yes, Captain." Carmen answered with a smile.
"Here, these are for you." After the brief exchange, Reno took out the Three types of Haki Cultivation Manual.
"Practice according to the methods written inside. It won't be long before your Haki strength improves."
The women accepted it in confusion and began flipping through it.
"Future Sight?? Observation Haki can be used like this?!"
"No, wait. What the hell is reading minds?!"
Nami's expression was strange. She could actually hear other people's thoughts?!
That was way too terrifying, wasn't it?!
Wouldn't that expose where she hid her money?!
"Brother Reno, don't tell me you've learned how to read minds too?!" The way Kaya looked at Reno changed completely.
Though she was a refined young lady, she sometimes thought about that kind of thing too. Had Reno heard all of it?!
"Reno, tell us honestly. Have you been secretly listening to our thoughts?!" Nami chimed in.
Reno shook his head. "Not yet, but do I even need to listen to what you're thinking?!"
"When we went from I to O, didn't you tell me everything yourselves?!"
Recalling those colorful words, the women all lowered their heads in embarrassment, too ashamed to continue speaking with Reno.
So embarrassing.
They should never have brought it up. Reno had rendered them speechless again.
They had realized that they could neither beat Reno nor outtalk him.
They were destined to be bullied by Reno for the rest of their lives.
Ancient Island.
On a beach chair, a tall, thin man with the number "3" on his head sipped black tea and enjoyed a pleasant vacation.
"Hahaha... only a senior agent like me gets this kind of treatment. I really pity those guys behind me. They must still be busy carrying out the BOSS's missions, right?!"
The tall, thin man's narcissistic remarks left the little girl beside him speechless.
"Mr. 3."
"Miss Goldie, do you have any professional assassin awareness at all?! Calling my name in public—what if someone discovers us?!"
The man known as Mr. 3 hurriedly made a shushing gesture, then flicked the number "3" on top of his head.
Miss Goldie slowly raised her head and looked at the number atop Galdino's head, secretly sneering to herself.
With such an obvious mark, it would be harder for others not to notice him!!
What a narcissist!!
"Miss Goldie, what have you been looking at these past few days?! You don't even seem interested in enjoying your vacation."
Galdino casually glanced at the sheet of paper in Miss Goldie's hand.
"This is the latest mission BOSS gave us." Miss Goldie calmly handed him the paper containing the mission.
"Oh, what?!!"
Galdino let out a shrill cry, even spraying out the black tea in his mouth.
"Why didn't you tell me about something this important sooner?!"
"If we delay BOSS's mission, neither of us will get away with it!!!"
Galdino quickly took the paper and skimmed through it. Soon, his brows furrowed.
"Mr. 5 is dead, and Miss Valentine has defected?!!"
"Hehehe, what two Useless Trash!!"
Galdino sneered disdainfully. "Does Miss Valentine really think she can escape BOSS's grasp?! How naive!"
Sure enough, all agents with codenames below 3 were a bunch of brainless, useless trash.
