After reading the introduction to the Healing Fruit, Reno truly fell in love with this system.
It was so thoughtful.
It could enhance his strength and also allow him to care for the beautiful women of the One Piece world. Killing two birds with one stone.
Sister System is the GOAT!!
Every note resonated deeply with Reno.
Cures all illnesses, regenerates severed limbs, and removes various negative effects.
Seeing this, the first person who came to Reno's mind was Kaya from Syrup Village.
Although she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she had been frail and sickly since childhood, suffering from long-term illness and was always melancholic.
Kaya's image appeared in Reno's mind—a kind and lovely young beauty.
Due to her illness, her face lacked the healthy color of a normal person.
Reno didn't know how severe Kaya's illness was, but he believed that in front of the Healing Fruit, materialized by the power of the Shennong Beast, any incurable disease could be cured.
Besides, Kaya's dream was to become a doctor who saves lives, so no one was more suitable for the Healing Fruit than her.
Most importantly, even if Kaya ate the Healing Fruit, Reno could also share its Devil Fruit ability.
Truly killing two birds with one stone, how delightful.
Isn't this the joy of a player with cheats?!
Reno was a bit dazed.
In just one day, he had experienced true ups and downs.
Graduated from university → Dreamed of acquiring the United States → Got hit by a dump truck → Transmigrated to the One Piece world, becoming a weakling → System awakened, novice gift pack, instantly became a powerhouse at the level of a Marine Rear Admiral → Subdued Nami, obtained the Healing Fruit → ?!
This was probably more exciting than most people's entire lives.
Reno extended his right hand, and a strangely shaped, entirely green fruit appeared in his palm.
Befitting the Shennong Beast, even its color was materialized.
After a quick glance, Reno stored the Healing Fruit in the system's inventory.
A Devil Fruit only reveals its power after being eaten; just looking at it reveals nothing.
That night, Nami slept soundly.
It wasn't that she trusted Reno much; she was just really tired.
Her first time at a new post, four long hours of labor, experimenting with various work methods and techniques, and the moment she finished up.
A wave of exhaustion washed over her, making even speaking a luxury.
Reno didn't disturb Nami, nor was he worried about her running away.
Not to mention with his Observation Haki, Nami couldn't escape at all.
And Nami wouldn't easily give up the treasure worth 10 million Beri.
The night passed without a word.
...
The next day.
Reno woke up early and tidied up the rather large pirate ship.
The bloodstains on the deck were washed clean.
As for the pirates' bodies, they had become fish food last night.
Fortunately, there were living supplies in the warehouse.
After cleaning up, Reno used the available ingredients to make breakfast.
By the dining table, Nami walked over with a strange posture, rubbing her sleepy hair.
"Nami, good morning."
Reno took a sip of milk and greeted her with a smile.
In return, he received a resentful glare from Nami.
The sun is already high in the sky, and you call this morning?
If I hadn't worked so hard yesterday, would I have woken up this late?!
With the time I spent sleeping, I could have stolen hundreds of thousands of Beri.
Perhaps because of their collaboration yesterday, Nami familiarly sat down opposite Reno.
She grabbed the breakfast and started eating without any regard for her image.
"I've already given you my most precious thing, shouldn't you give me that treasure now?" Nami said with her mouth full.
"If you're worried about Arlong, you don't have to be. You are now the navigator of the Reno Pirates. Your business is my business. I can help you get rid of Arlong."
Reno replied nonchalantly.
Hearing this, Nami's movements abruptly stopped.
Her hand was suspended in mid-air, her wide, beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Reno knows?!
He had revealed her secret in a single sentence.
In front of Reno, it seemed all her little schemes had nowhere to hide.
For a moment, Nami was at a loss.
Soon, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Nami's face as she said dejectedly, "You don't understand. Fish-Men... their natural strength is ten times that of humans."
"Arlong is even stronger than an ordinary Fish-Man, and he has his Fish-Man crew. You're no match for them at all."
"If you go against him, I won't have a good end."
For years, Arlong had been like a nightmare haunting Nami's heart.
People had resisted before, filled with hope, but what was the result?!
They all died at Arlong's hands. Subconsciously, Nami had come to define Arlong as an invincible existence.
Even if Arlong and Kaido stood before her, Nami would still perceive Arlong as the more immediate and terrifying threat. Unless Kaido were to eliminate Arlong with a single blow, the deep-seated fear of Arlong would prevail.
Looking at the disheartened Nami, Reno shook his head helplessly.
After eight years, the image of an invincible Arlong was deeply engraved in Nami's heart.
No matter what he said now, Nami wouldn't believe him.
Once they reached Cocoyasi Village, he would have to chop Arlong up into sashimi right in front of Nami.
But for now, there were more important things to do.
"After breakfast, we're going to the Goa Kingdom first," Reno said, changing the subject without dwelling on it.
"Why are we going there?! Do you know someone there?!" Nami asked.
"To recruit crew members, of course," Reno explained patiently. "You're the first crew member of the Reno Pirates, but there will be a second, and a third. There's so much work on the ship, I can't do it all myself, can I? If I hadn't seen how tired you were yesterday, you would have been the one making breakfast today, you know?!"
Nami: ...
She bit her lower lip, glaring angrily at Reno.
What a huge jerk!
Ignoring Nami's glare, Reno continued eating his breakfast.
He was going to the Goa Kingdom, of course, for Makino.
Since he had awakened the "Conquer the Beauties" system, he naturally couldn't let any of the beauties from the plot get away.
