Harem Navigation: Starting from Overthrowing Nami

Reno was completely baffled. What was wrong with Vivi today?

"Vivi, why would you say that?!"

Vivi secretly glanced around to make sure no one was there, then lowered her head shyly, twisting her hands in front of her, and murmured softly, "Every night, there are sounds coming from the sisters' rooms. Out of curiosity, I... I already asked them."

"Even Valentine and Goldie have..."

Vivi's face flushed shamefully red, and she couldn't bring herself to continue.

Reno suddenly understood. He looked at Vivi with a half-smile and teased, "So?!!"

Vivi suddenly turned into a fierce little lion, hands on her hips, leaning forward. "What part of me can't compare to them?"

"Is it my looks? Or my figure?!!"

"Uh..." Reno rubbed his nose awkwardly, gaining a new respect for Vivi's boldness.

Was this still the Vivi he knew?!

Alabasta was now plagued with internal strife and external threats, full of danger.

Reno had originally planned to bring this up with Vivi after resolving Alabasta's crisis.

He hadn't expected Vivi to approach him first.

Reno guessed that Vivi probably believed he could definitely defeat Crocodile, and since they were already speeding toward Alabasta without any delays, she felt comfortable bringing it up now.

"Vivi, I know your heart is with Alabasta right now. We can wait—"

"Brother Reno, it's fine." Vivi shook her head, cutting off Reno's next words.

"Claim the reward." It was the familiar routine again.

[Essence of ti!]

This... couldn't it be?!

Reno's expression turned subtle.

Note: The host's... has been modified, capable of improving others' physiques until they assimilate into the host's Steel Balloon Talent.

Reno understood, but he was a bit speechless.

It could work like this?!

Simply put, once the girls consumed it, it would subtly improve their physiques until they gained the Steel Balloon Talent.

How much improvement and when assimilation would complete depended on the individual.

"Not a bad reward for them." Reno nodded in satisfaction.

No matter who it was, having a strong physique was beneficial and harmless.

Especially for combat-oriented girls like Nami and Tashigi, the importance of the Steel Balloon Talent went without saying.

With the Steel Balloon Talent, Nami wouldn't be limited by her physique and could better develop the Weather-Weather Fruit.

The same went for Tashigi.

He was also planning to teach Tashigi Hagoku once he mastered it.

If it were before, with Tashigi's physique, she probably wouldn't have the strength to pull it off.

"Looks like I'll need to focus on Nami and Tashigi from now on." Reno rubbed his chin, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

"There's no time like the present." Reno used Teleportation and appeared directly in Nami's room.

Nami, who was resting, suddenly opened her eyes, Lightning Flash surging.

With the Three Types of Haki Cultivation Manual, her Haki had improved significantly.

After sensing that the approacher was Reno, she relaxed her guard and pouted in dissatisfaction, "It's so late, what are you doing?!!"

Half-asleep, Nami grumbled, but then snapped awake.

"Aren't you supposed to be with Vivi tonight?? Are you done already?!"

"Yeah." Reno nodded. "I missed you, so I came to find you."

"Tch." Nami rolled her eyes.

"But..." Nami shifted the topic, her gaze dropping downward. "You've been spending all your time with Valentine and Goldie these days. Looking for something fresh, huh?!"

"You haven't come to see me in days." Nami pouted in displeasure.

Reno felt a bit awkward, but he couldn't help it.

After all, there were only twenty-four hours in a day.

Between daily necessities and training, he simply didn't have enough time.

He could only pick and choose.

If only he could get a Time House as a reward someday.

Then he wouldn't have to sacrifice anything, whether for training or other things.

"What are you standing there for?!" Seeing Reno lost in thought, Nami let out a soft huff.

Reno understood and resumed teaching Nami.

The next day.

By the time Reno walked out of his room, the girls had already finished breakfast and were all sitting around the table, chatting and laughing.

When they saw Reno coming, every single one of them looked straight at him.

Reno felt a chill run down his spine from all the women staring.

What had he done now?!!

Was it about the sounds from last night?

It had been so long; they should be used to it by now.

Taking his seat at the head of the table, Reno said casually, "Just say what you want. Don't look at me with those weird eyes."

All the women glanced at Nami again, and she nodded.

Tashigi gathered her courage and said, "Captain, Nami said that after eating... eating that last night, she feels different from before."

"My physique is a bit stronger. It's not obvious, but I'm sure of it." Nami nodded again.

Nami was the strongest person on the thief ship besides Reno.

Her perception was beyond question.

If she said it, it had to be true.

That fast-acting?!

Reno grumbled inwardly.

"Reno, that... that thing, when did it start having this effect?!" Nami was unusually shy.

"What kind of look is that?!!"

Seeing the glint in the girls' eyes, Reno shuddered.

That look was like a pack of wolves that had been starving for a long time suddenly spotting a lamb, ready to pounce.

"Brother Reno, we want to improve our physiques too." Vivi tugged at Reno's arm, shaking it nonstop.

The other girls also stared at Reno with longing eyes, as if they wouldn't give up without trying it.

Who wouldn't want to strengthen their body with such a simple method?!

Besides, they'd eaten it before too.

"Brother Reno, I can use my Healing Power to help you." Just as Reno was in despair, Kaya added another blow.

Reno's heart shattered.

Sweet little Kaya had been corrupted by them.

Damn!!!

Today, he was going to straighten out his harem.

"All of you, come with me!!!"

Reno stood up and headed for the largest room on the Merry.

The shy girls exchanged glances, then followed him step by step with anticipation.

The Merry flew through the air.

The noise startled flock after flock of birds.

Reno finally understood the power of the Healing Fruit.

At this moment, he felt the Healing Fruit was the most awesome reward of all, bar none.

As for the girls' rebellious behavior this time, Reno gave them a thorough lesson.

And after this, the bonds between the girls deepened considerably.

Especially Valentine and Goldie—they were originally members of Baroque Works and had once thought about dealing with the Reno Pirates.

"Captain, there are still two beauties in Baroque Works, the Vice President and Sara. Are you interested?!" Valentine blinked, stirring up trouble again.

"Valentine, you just don't get it, do you?!!" Before Reno could speak, Nojiko cut in.

"I don't know those two, but if they're beauties, they're probably already on the captain's list."

The other girls nodded in agreement.

Reno seemed to have some kind of ability—wherever he went, there were pretty girls.

Their experiences were all so similar.

"I get it!!" Vivi suddenly shouted. "Brother Reno, were you after us from the start?!"

Looking around at the beauties who were all completely bare, Vivi realized belatedly.

Reno reached out and tapped Vivi's nose. "Congratulations, you guessed right."

But then his expression turned serious. "Though taking down Crocodile was also part of my plan."

"Tomorrow we'll reach Alabasta. Let's put an end to all of this."

"Yeah, I trust Brother Reno." Vivi nestled affectionately in Reno's arms, her gaze going distant.

Crushing Crocodile's scheme and saving Alabasta—she'd been waiting for this day for so long.

"What did you say?? The citizens of Alabasta actually see Crocodile as a hero?!!"

Tashigi exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.

The Other Girls also lost their composure, staring at Vivi in shock.

The group, who had been laughing and chatting all along, finally started talking about the enemy they were about to face, Crocodile, as they neared Alabasta.

Valentine and Goldie awkwardly lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

As for the reason, there was no need to elaborate.

"I feel like the citizens of Alabasta are a bit dumb?!!" Carmen, who never hid her thoughts, blurted out immediately.

The other Girls' expressions were equally subtle.

Crocodile had only been in Alabasta for four years, and he was already a hero of Ala~basta?!!

The King was diligent and loved the people, yet they didn't trust him, preferring to believe an outsider—and a Pirate at that.

Ridiculous!!

They really couldn't understand the citizens' way of thinking.

Even Reno agreed with that. He could only say the citizens here were really too foolish—maybe it was because they were naive.

Faced with everyone's criticism, Vivi forced a very strained smile onto her face.

After all, she was the Princess of Alabasta, so there were some things she couldn't easily judge.
