Before Xipshead could react, the Giver behind him delivered a punch. With a surge of pain, Xipshead's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Silence, a deathly silence.
The entire hall was eerily quiet, so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared blankly at the scene, their turbulent emotions unable to calm down for a long time.
The instantaneous speed displayed by the Giver shocked all the Givers and the True Fighters to their core.
If it were them, the result would have been the same; they wouldn't have been able to dodge.
Even the Flying Six and the Three Calamities were shaken to their core.
While everyone was astonished by the Giver's strength, they understood that it was all because he had consumed the monster cells developed by Reno.
Recalling their earlier mockery of Reno, everyone's faces flushed with embarrassment, a self-deprecating smile appearing on their faces.
The monster cells, comparable to Devil Fruits, had been dismissed by them as worthless. It turned out that the joke had been on them all along.
When they looked at the remaining two monster cells, their eyes were filled with fervor and greed.
"Hohohoho~ Good, good!!!"
Kaido suddenly stood up, laughing heartily, his eyes full of appreciation for Reno.
This time, he had truly found a treasure.
Reno's appearance not only eased his relationship with Yamato but also led to the development of such powerful monster cells.
With a sufficient quantity of monster cells, how could the Beasts Pirates not dominate the seas?!!
"Reno, I was right about you." Kaido walked up to Reno, gently patting his shoulder, then swept his sharp gaze over all the members of the Beasts Pirates in the hall, speaking with authority:
"Listen up, from now on, Reno is the fourth Calamity of the Beasts Pirates, the Calamity of Wisdom!!"
His powerful voice echoed throughout the hall.
Everyone stared at Reno, their emotions complex.
In just a few months, he was appointed as a Calamity, something unheard of.
Moreover, everyone knew that if Reno could truly mass-produce the Tiger-Class Monster Cells, enhancing the overall strength of the Beasts Pirates, his status might even surpass the other three Calamities.
After a brief moment of shock, the Givers and True Fighters erupted in cheers, celebrating Reno becoming the fourth Calamity.
The Flying Six also stepped forward to congratulate him.
Reno could tell that their congratulations were sincere.
This was the Beasts Pirates, where strength proved everything, and with strength, one could earn everyone's respect.
Quinn's expression changed several times as he shuffled over to Reno, stammering, "Uh... Reno, I didn't recognize your talent before, please don't hold it against me."
Quinn's reaction made Reno pause for a moment, but he quickly nodded in understanding.
"Reno, you really did it, you're amazing~" Yamato, oblivious to others, affectionately clung to Reno's arm, her voice soft and filled with admiration in her eyes.
After this incident, any admiration she had for Kozuki Oden was gone; now, she only admired Reno.
Reno smiled, returning to his senses amidst the praise, and silently thought, "Open the system panel."
A virtual screen visible only to him appeared before his eyes.
[Host: Reno]
[System: Technology System]
[System Level: LV1 (9560/20000)]
[Unlocked Technologies: Tiger-Class Monster Cells, Physique Potion, Gravity Training Room, Air Cannon]
[Shock Value: 9560 points]
[System Shop]
[System Warehouse: None]
————————
Seeing the shock value rapidly rise to over 9000, Reno nodded in satisfaction.
As long as his technological inventions continued to shock others, he could continuously accumulate shock value.
Whether it was upgrading the system or purchasing various items from the system warehouse, all required shock value. The more shock value he had, the more advantageous it was for him.
"Ah-hem~" Kaido cleared his throat twice, interrupting the two who were entwined, and continued, "Reno, can these monster cells be mass-produced?"
Kaido looked expectant. If they could be mass-produced, he could quickly build a stronger force.
Reno hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "As long as there's enough funding, it's entirely possible. However, I want to develop a few other technologies first. If they complement each other, the Beasts Pirates will become even stronger."
"Other technologies?"
Reno's casual remark once again silenced the bustling hall.
Kaido's expression was completely replaced by fervor, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Are you saying that besides the monster cells, you have other technologies?"
"That's right." Reno nodded again.
He was referring to the Physique Potion, Gravity Training Room, and Air Cannon.
The Physique Potion could directly enhance the user's physical attributes, the Gravity Training Room could aid in training, and the Air Cannon was the most powerful.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall instinctively gasped.
The Tiger-Class Monster Cells were already so powerful, and apart from Reno, there was likely no other scientist in the entire sea capable of developing them.
And now he claimed to have other technological inventions?!
Unbelievable!!
"Build them!!! Whatever it is, build it first!!"
Kaido waved his hand grandly, saying, "From now on, the entire Beasts Pirates will fully support you. No matter how much money you need, I'll provide it."
"Once you've developed the other technologies, we can mass-produce them later."
Reno nodded slightly, unsurprised.
Kaido might appear carefree, but he knew how to prioritize.
"There are still two monster cells here. Who wants them?!"
Reno took out the remaining two Tiger-Class Monster Cells and placed them in front of everyone.
"Give it to me!!"
"Get lost, I'm a True Fighter. Lord Reno, let me have it, and I'll make you proud!!"
"I want it too!!"
"..."
The Givers and True Fighters surged forward like hungry wolves, their eyes glowing green as they looked at the Tiger-Class Monster Cells.
They had just witnessed the power of this purple meat chunk firsthand. Who wouldn't want to consume it?!
"Everyone, back off!!"
