A new world, aboard a pirate ship.
Reno slowly opened his eyes.
The air was thick with the scent of perfume and a heavy, distinctly feminine aura.
He shifted slightly, feeling the soft, smooth touch against his body.
But instead of lingering in that pleasant sensation, he pushed away the several naked bodies draped over him.
With a thought, a blue panel—visible only to him—unfolded before his eyes.
[Succubus Growth System]
[System Function: Gain attribute points through intimate contact with the opposite sex. The stronger the partner, the more attribute points gained.]
[Succubus Ability 1: Size Adjustment — During intimate contact, the host can freely alter body size.]
[Succubus Ability 2: Not yet awakened]
…
[current Attributes:]
[strength: Rear Admiral Level (56/300)+]
[Speed: Rear Admiral Level (66/300)+]
[Constitution: Rear Admiral Level (45/300)+]
[Observation Haki: Beginner (66/300)+]
[Armament Haki: Intermediate (36/1000)+]
[Conqueror's Haki: Unawakened (Inactive)]
[Charm: 93/100]
[Overall Evaluation: Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Level]
[Attribute Points: 18]
Eighteen points from last night? Not bad.
Reno's eyes lit up as he looked at the panel.
The women still asleep nearby were trained assassins from a mafia family on a nearby island. Their strength was decent.
Each of them could give him three points.
Although stronger women granted more attribute points, Reno's first criteria was still looks and figure...
And fortunately, these women were clean, beautiful, and fairly capable.
Eighteen attribute points in one night—he was more than satisfied.
Reno wasn't originally from this pirate world. He had transmigrated here as an infant.
But not long after arriving, his paRenots died, leaving him to grow up relying on others for food.
With little choice, before adulthood, Reno spent his days training in a small-town sword dojo.
Unlike others from his hometown, he never set out to sea to become a pirate or joined the Marines.
Because after coming to this world, he realized that being a pirate was nothing like the freedom and romance depicted in comics. For someone like him—no talent, no background—it meant constant hunger and the looming risk of being captured and thrown into Impel Down to die a miserable death.
Becoming a Marine wasn't any better—fighting pirates day in and day out, with an alarmingly high death rate.
But what Reno hadn't expected was that on his eighteenth birthday, he awakened a system.
The Succubus Growth System.
As long as he had intimate relations with the opposite sex, he could grow stronger...
With that, Reno decisively chose the path of a pirate.
And in just under three years since awakening the system, he had risen from a nobody to possessing the strength of a Rear Admiral.
Of course… all thanks to his "natural advantage"...
And the system didn't just give him a way to grow stronger—it also transformed his body into the perfect succubus form.
Endless stamina, no downtime—it all came effortlessly.
If there were a mirror nearby, one would see—
Reno's facial features were flawless, as if sculpted by a god.
A pair of black wings, faintly glowing with a crimson hue, were folded behind his back.
His deep violet eyes alone were enough to make any woman's heart race and breathing quicken.
Combined with a charm value of 93—
To put it bluntly, if he wanted, ninety-nine percent of the women on these seas would willingly throw themselves at him.
What a pity, though—this was only the year 1454 of the Sea Circle Calendar. Many of the beauties from the original story hadn't even been born yet.
Luckily, succubi were long-lived beings.
Otherwise, he might've missed Nami, Robin, Yamato, the Pirate Empress, and the rest...
…
While thinking, Reno allocated all 18 attribute points into the Constitution.
[Constitution: Rear Admiral Level (63/300)+]
The moment he confirmed the allocation, a warm current surged through his entire body, nourishing every inch of him.
He stood up, casually grabbed a silk robe, and draped it over himself before walking out of the captain's cabin.
Creaaak.
The door opened.
The sky outside was cloudless, the sunlight dazzling.
On the deck, dozens of burly pirates were training intensely.
The sound of blades slicing the air, shouting, and the roaring sea wind filled the space.
"Captain's out!"
Someone shouted.
All eyes instantly turned toward him, their expressions teasing and amused.
"Captain, how was it last night?"
"Judging by your energy, it must've been quite the battle!"
A bearded helmsman hoisted a massive barbell over his shoulder and winked exaggeratedly.
"Captain, how many rounds? Let us learn from you!"
Laughter erupted across the deck.
Leaning lazily against the doorframe, Reno slowly raised a single finger.
"One finger?"
The bearded man froze for a moment before shouting dramatically.
"Only once?!"
"Bad mood, Captain? Or were those girls not good enough?"
"Yeah! Once isn't even enough to warm you up!"
The crew burst into laughter again.
Reno's smile turned playful. He shook his head, then slowly parted his lips and said three words:
"All night long."
The laughter on deck stopped instantly.
Everyone, including the bearded man, froze in place.
…All night?
After three full seconds of silence—
An even louder explosion of laughter erupted.
"As expected of Captain Reno!"
"Incredible! That's the man I respect!"
"Captain, I kneel!"
Reno chuckled, waved them off, and walked to the ship's railing. As he gazed out at the endless sea, his expression returned to calm.
"Rob."
"Yes, Captain!"
A bespectacled man with a refined appearance quickly climbed down from the lookout tower, holding a sea chart.
"When will we reach the next island?"
The navigator spread out the chart, pointing to a coordinate.
"Captain, at our current speed, we'll arrive in about three days—Dressrosa."
He paused, then traced another direction on the map.
"However, Captain, our current route passes close to Hachinosu Island. Should we change course?"
Hachinosu.
The base of the Rocks Pirates.
Reno's gaze sharpened slightly.
It was still six or seven years before the God Valley Incident—right when the Rocks Pirates were at the height of their rise.
With his current strength, he wasn't qualified to get involved with them.
Maybe after reaching Yonko-level strength in Dressrosa, he could pay a visit to that king-tier powerhouse.
"Change course."
"Avoid it."
"Yes, sir!"
Boom!
Just as Reno gave the order, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the entire ship.
On the deck, the crew who had been standing just moments ago began rolling their eyes back one by one, foaming at the mouth as their bodies stiffened and collapsed.
In less than three seconds, no one remained standing except Reno.
Silence fell. Only the sea wind howled.
Conqueror's Haki!
And an extremely powerful one at that!
Reno clenched his teeth, every muscle in his body trembling as he struggled with all his might against the overwhelming pressure.
Only now did he truly understand—Conqueror's Haki wasn't just physical pressure; it also crushed the mind.
It felt as if an invisible hand had seized his soul. The edges of his vision darkened, his mind growing hazy.
To think he'd encounter a Conqueror's Haki user here!
Damn it—this New World really was dangerous!
As Reno struggled to hold himself up, a massive shadow descended, blocking out the sun and casting him into darkness.
Summoning every ounce of strength, Reno slowly lifted his head…
