The Grand Line, Paradise.
Alabasta.
After admiring the beautiful sunset, Ren gazed at the lovely night sky for a brief moment, then decided to try out his new skill, "Hell's Eyes."
He had used this skill before to kill Chopper, but he had never tested its limits.
The skill level was low, and according to Miss System, advanced levels of this skill could be obtained in the future as long as he continued to complete tasks.
"Hell's Eyes," Ren said in a deep voice, then looked at the devastated area in front of him, not minding destroying it a bit more since it was no longer usable anyway.
*Whoooooosh!*
*Fweeeeeee!!*
Fire erupted from Ren's eyes, resembling a straight laser beam, but it was pure fire, like the flames formed from Ace's Devil Fruit.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Two lines of fire struck the sandy ground, causing a deafening sound. The explosion was loud enough for those in the palace to hear, and they even felt the ground shake.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The fire continued to pour out of Ren's eyes, causing several other explosions that left deep craters in the ground.
After 5 minutes, Ren stopped and closed his eyes, feeling a strong pain coming from his eye sockets.
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the destruction in front of him.
The fire was still burning and slowly dying out due to the desert sands, while the ground was cracked and destroyed everywhere.
"What chaos... is this blood?" Ren touched his eye and was surprised to see blood coming out of it. It seemed he had overdone it after all.
"So, these are my limits...but the result is very good, and the destructive power is fantastic. I can bear such side effects...despite some pain in my eyes."
The pain hadn't completely disappeared yet; he needed a few minutes of rest for that.
"Now I have another winning card up my sleeve! I can go to war with greater confidence." Ren smiled and tightened his gloved fist.
Then he noticed some guards approaching with concern.
"It seems I've caused quite a stir..."
.
[Midnight, Ren's room.]
Ren lay in his bed, with Nojiko on his left and Nami on his right, both asleep.
He stared at the ceiling, his gaze unfocused as if he were deep in thought.
The girls were asleep, so they didn't see Ren in his current state.
He got up from bed slowly, careful not to wake the girls from their deep sleep.
They had trained hard all day, so they needed rest. They relieved stress by making love to him, but sleep was also necessary.
Earlier, after finishing training and leaving behind the destroyed training ground and the stunned guards, he entered the palace and saw the girls there. They were all surprised and confused when they saw him. It was expected; he had grown taller overnight, after all.
Anyway, back to the present.
Ren stared at the moon hanging in the sky from the window, like a shining lamp in the dark. It calmed his troubled heart a little and made him think more logically and rationally.
"Haah..." Ren took a deep breath of fresh air, letting the cold night winds hit his face. He thought about the tough times ahead.
"After the war... if I don't die there, I should have a few years of safety to develop my power and my fleet."
He spoke in a low voice, knowing there was no one to hear him anyway.
Ren thought about his relationships with other characters after the news spread that Ace had been captured by him.
Garp, Luffy, and all the residents of Foosha Village would hate him, as well as Shanks. And if Shanks had an unfriendly stance towards him, so would the Red Hair Pirates.
But did Ren care about this? Yes, he did.
Don't misunderstand; he didn't care about their feelings and hatred towards him after knowing the news....
He was worried that any of these powerful characters might make a bold move and come to claim his head.
For example, Garp, although he doubted Garp would do anything to him as long as he was still a Warlord. But what about Shanks?
There was also Dragon; after this leader of the revolutionaries knew what he did to Luffy, would he have a friendly stance towards him? Of course not.
But Ren knew all this before deciding to capture Ren and Luffy.
Let them go to hell; his benefit was more important, The benefits he would gain from the war and from Luffy were tempting.
"As well as I can just escape if things go wrong, with the super ship I got, I won't be afraid of being trapped."
Ren smiled confidently at the thought of the features his ship.
"Hoof..."
He lit his cigarette and smoked quietly, searching his photographic memory to make sure he didn't leave any gaps in his plan.
"Marshal D. Teach, I stole this person's chance to become a Warlord, but I can't rule him out from the list of targets."
Ren felt that Teach would find a way to become a Warlord, whether by defeating another Warlord or through some other means, but Teach wouldn't give up on his plan to enter Impel Down and free the prisoners in Level Six.
He spent a few more peaceful minutes staring at the moon, knowing that tough times were ahead and he mustn't falter. He needed to strengthen himself and his crew members to
overcome any threat...
[The next morning]
"Good morning, Captain~"
"Did you sleep well-?"
Ren woke up to the sweet voices of Nami and Nojiko. After brief greetings, they bathed and went out for breakfast as usual.
.
"Who is this woman, Mr. Ren?" Cobra looked puzzled at Robin, whom he didn't recognize. "She's a new member of my crew," Ren replied simply, not revealing any further information to Cobra.
When the king saw that Ren didn't intend to say anything more, he nodded and started eating
breakfast.
Half a day passed like this; Ren and his crew spent an ordinary day training their powers and bonding well with each other.
Ren also gave Nami the Eternal Clothes he still had. Nami was happy and promised him a reward at night, making the faces of the other crew members blush with embarrassment. of
course, except for Nojiko.
Ren still had the Finger Gun Scroll, which he gave to Robin.
If Robin integrated this skill with her Devil Fruit powers, it would produce a destructive force multiplied compared to its use by a single person.
Just imagine several fingers firing air bullets at you? Every part of your body would be pierced,
and you would fall dead.
And that's what would happen to Robin's enemies.
"Train hard, Robin," Ren said and ordered Miss System to consume the Finger Pistol scroll on
Robin.
After the shock, excitement burst in Robin's heart, which she quickly suppressed. She maintained her cold face, but internally, she was smiling with joy.
Ren had started to fulfill his promise to her! Giving her power. When Robin read about this
Skill, she found it would be very useful if integrated with her Devil Fruit powers, meaning Ren
was seriously thinking about making her strong, right?
Thinking about this, Ren gained a few more acceptance points in Robin's Heart. He also
noticed that her loyalty had increased again.
It had increased for the first time when he changed her appearance and gave her the Eternal Clothes, which provided strong defense. Robin felt that her new captain was genuinely concerned about her safety, and she began to become more loyal to him naturally.
'Her loyalty is now 75%, more than I expected.' Ren looked at Robin's data and thought
internally.
"Thank you Captain Ren. I won't disappoint you," Robin said firmly, but happiness could be
heard in her tone.
Ren could only smile when he noticed Robin's joy at this small reward. He found her to be
extremely cute.
"I trust you, Robin."
He said one sentence, but it carried a lot of meaning for Robin. At that moment, when she heard him say this, she felt something change inside her. She didn't know exactly what. Robin's tense body, which had been tense for twenty years due to continuous betrayals, relaxed. This tension was caused by the continuous betrayals she had experienced.
She couldn't find any safe place, nor could she find any Friends she trusted and wouldn't
betray her.
But now, it seemed that this pressure and tension were slowly dissipating, gradually disappearing. Little by little, it would disappear completely, and she would become free from the chains of her past.
"Thank you..." she said in a voice that was like a whisper, but Ren could hear it.
*Patt.*
He patted her shoulder with his hand to calm her down. Dealing with an emotionally disturbed woman was difficult, so Ren chose his words carefully before saying them.
"I'll take you to see the Poneglyph after welcoming the World Government Agents."
"The World Government?" When Ren mentioned her worst nightmares, Robin tensed involuntarily, but Ren began to pat her shoulder again.
Her body calmed down, then she looked at his tall figure, waiting for him to finish speaking.
"Yes, some agents from the World Government have arrived to negotiate a Warlord contract. No need to be nervous, okay? I'm with you."
Ren reassured her, not making her meet with the agents who arrived naturally.
In fact, Ren had been able to track Rob Lucci and the rest of the CP-9 members since their
footsteps touched the ground in Alubarna Port.
They merged with the crowds and hid their forms. They were walking in one direction -
towards the royal palace!
Ren didn't know how the CP-9 agents knew his place, but he guessed it was because of the
rumors that people were still circulating.
For professionals like them, assassinations and gathering information were their specialties,
so that wasn't a big problem.
•
Ren stood in front of a group of people dressed strangely.
Their leader was a tall, skinny, muscular man, with distinctive arched eyebrows, as well as his
small, somewhat unconventional beard. He had long, wavy black hair.
Ren glanced at Rob Lucci briefly and then lost interest in him, looking at the only woman in
the group.
She was blonde with purple eyes, pink lips, and wore glasses; and her chest was large...
She wore an orange jacket, a headband, long boots, and a black skirt open on the left side.
'Khalifa...' Ren thought mentally before shifting his gaze away from her and looking at the rest of the agents.
All these thoughts passed in a few seconds; the CP-9 agents had just arrived, and Ren wasn't
alone either. Nojiko and Mikita were with him.
He had left the other girls in the royal palace and left with the two to meet the World
Government envoys.
"Let me introduce myself. I am a messenger from the World Government, You should be
aware of why I am here, Right?".
Rob Lucci's voice was cold and emotionless, but his tone didn't carry any arrogance.
He knew that the man in front of him was someone who could easily kill him!
He had received several warnings from higher-ups in the World Government; this mission
was important and didn't accept any failure, They had to successfully sign a Warlord contract with this pirate!
Facing someone much stronger than him, Rob Lucci displayed the efficiency and professionalism he had been known for since childhood. He spoke calmly and chose his words carefully, awaiting Ren's response.
"Oh? No, I don't know why you're here. Can you tell me?" A friendly smile formed on Ren's
face as he responded to Rob Lucci.
"You-"
"Shut up!"
Rob Lucci shouted at Blueno, who had lost his temper. Blueno fell silent when he heard Rob
Lucci's cold voice and swallowed his saliva.
He had never seen Rob Lucci so serious before.
'This fool... doesn't he know the importance of the current mission?' Khalifa exclaimed in her
mind and looked deeply at the man with blue hair, Ren.
Just a moment ago, she felt that this man was examining her with his gaze, and she trembled
slightly at the sight of his gaze, which seemed to penetrate her clothes.
'This is harassment...!'
Away from Khalifa's strange thoughts, after Rob Lucci shouted at Blueno, he adjusted his
voice and said in a tone devoid of any feelings:
"We have been sent by the World Government to sign a Warlord contract with Mr. Ren at his
request. We are ready to execute your conditions as long as you hand over Fire Fist Ace." Mikita and Nojiko stood expressionless, listening to Rob Lucci's words. They were like statues, not moving, but their violent auras hinted that they were ready to pounce on their
prey.
"Of course, I agree as well. What are the steps?" Ren admired Rob Lucci's professionalism. "You just need to sign this paper and have a conversation with the top officials, Mr. Ren."
Rob Lucci handed Ren a white paper with several words and a printed emblem related to the World Government.
But suddenly, Rob Lucci said: "But we must see Fire Fist Ace first..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
When he said this, Rob Lucci felt internal tension, but she quickly gathered her courage and
waited for Ren's response.
The surrounding environment was silent. Several minutes passed in silence, and some agents
began to fidget.
But Rob Lucci, Khalifa, and Kaku maintained their composure and didn't lose patience.
"Of course..Mikita, Please bring Fire Fist Ace." He turned to Mikita and smiled at her.
"Aye Captain!"
Mikita quickly entered the royal palace's prison to fetch Ace.
In fact, in the few minutes Ren was silent, he was thinking about something. Maybe this would succeed...No, they would accept because Ace was important to their plans!
With this thought, Ren looked at Rob Lucci and said, "Did you bring the money?" Rob Lucci knew that Ren was referring to the 500 million he requested as part of the
agreement and nodded: "We didn't bring anything, There is a Marine soldier coming from headquarters with the money you requested, and at the same time, she will be the one to transport Ace to Marineford."
"I see..."
Ren wondered who this person, hoping it wouldn't be Garp. But he returned his gaze to Rob
Lucci and said:
"I have another condition I didn't mention."
Upon hearing Ren's words, Rob Lucci's forehead wrinkled, and the rest of the agents were also
annoyed.
They didn't like how Ren was imposing on them.
But Rob Lucci still kept his composure and said: "What is this condition? I will inform the top
officials about it."
Ren looked at the agents and then glanced at Khalifa. When she saw that he was looking at
her, she felt a bad feeling...
He raised his finger and pointed at her.
"I want this woman."
Author's gossiping.
-Sorry for the late update. Do you know that feeling of laziness and lethargy? Sometimes you
feel like you should just give up and what you're writing is nonsense, and you lose passion. But I always force myself to bury these thoughts and continue. Don't be surprised if chapters aren't uploaded daily from now on, but I won't give up, and I won't dropp it.
