"Re…no"
Nami swept in front of Reno like a gust of wind, her voice cloyingly sweet.
"My most, most, most, most respected, beloved, and admired Captain!"
A bright smile bloomed on her face.
Her delicate and docile appearance, coupled with her stunning beauty, would make any man's bones melt.
"You want money?"
Reno glanced at Nami indifferently, instantly seeing through her.
"Captain is so amazing, you guessed it!"
Nami nodded like a pecking chick, her eyes gradually brightening.
"Little Thief Cat, after all these years, you really haven't changed your ways."
Carina, dressed coolly and wearing women's slippers, scoffed from the side.
Anyone could tell from her worldly demeanor.
At this, Nami bristled like an angry cat, immediately putting her hands on her hips and retorting, "Vixen, how dare you say that to me? Don't think I don't know what you're trying to do in Gold City!"
"You've been eyeing Tesoro's treasury, haven't you?"
"Little Thief Cat, don't talk nonsense!"
"Heh heh, calling me out for talking nonsense?"
Nami smirked, then flipped Carina over and pressed her onto her knee.
"I'll teach you to talk back to me!!"
Crisp, pleasant slaps suddenly rang out.
Nami pulled away the scant fabric and raised her hand to strike the round bottom in front of her.
As force was applied, the two buttocks immediately rippled.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Robin, Doll, and Tashigi watched the scene before them as if it were a show.
They heard that Nami and Carina used to be good sisters, but later separated for some reason, only to be reunited a few days ago after several years.
However, Nami was no longer the same, and Carina would probably only be on the receiving end from now on.
"Little Vixen, still dare to shout at me??"
Nami, just as Reno once did to her, gently lifted Carina's chin, teasing her with a half-smile.
"Little Thief Cat, you…"
Hmm??
"Still not convinced?"
Nami's beautiful eyes widened, she clenched her right hand into a fist, then extended her middle finger.
She didn't mind going a step further in front of so many people.
Seeing that seemingly magical finger, Carina tightened her lower lip and quickly closed her mouth.
The scolding that was about to burst out was swallowed back down.
Damn it!
She didn't need to guess what Nami wanted to do.
In broad daylight, if Nami really went all the way, how could she face everyone afterward?
"Captain, look at Nami."
"She just knows how to bully me."
In a panic, Carina turned her head and cast a pleading look at Reno.
Her pitiful appearance made even Reno feel a little sympathetic.
"Nami, stop messing around."
Seeing the slightly red and swollen buttocks, Reno spoke, stopping Nami's next move.
Carina felt as if she had received a great pardon, covering her bottom and quickly running to Reno's side, seeking a sense of security.
Nami snorted lightly, having no choice but to give up.
"Rebecca, Koala." Reno gently rubbed Carina's shapely bottom, looking at the two women before him.
"Captain, what is it?"
"Captain."
The two women simultaneously stopped their actions and responded one after another.
Reno retrieved three items from the system warehouse and placed them in front of the two.
Imperial Arms: Transformation of the Beast King!
Teigu: Mastema!
Zoan Type: Bee-Bee Fruit, Ancient Species: Murder Hornet Form!
"What are these two?!"
"Devil Fruit?"
The girls, their curiosity piqued, gathered around.
Reno thoroughly explained the functions and effects of the three items to the women.
Doll, Kalifa, and Reiju nodded slightly, their hearts not stirring much.
After all, the Devil Fruits they had eaten were in no way inferior to the items before them.
"Captain, are these really for us?"
The two women asked excitedly, flattered.

"That's right." Reno nodded, continuing, "You can distribute these three items among yourselves."
This was his carefully considered decision.
Among the combatants, Rebecca and Koala were almost at the bottom in terms of strength.
With these three items, combined with training in the Time Room, their strength could undergo a qualitative leap in a short time.
Rebecca and Koala were not overly modest, and after expressing their thoughts and seeking each other's opinions.
Ultimately,
Rebecca chose the Imperial Arms: Transformation of the Beast King and the Teigu: Mastema.
Koala chose the Zoan Type: Bee-Bee Fruit, Ancient Species: Murder Hornet Form!
"You two go to the Time Room first to familiarize yourselves with your abilities."
Seeing the two women make their choices so calmly, Reno also nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, it wouldn't be long before he had two more powerful assistants.
Rebecca donned the Imperial Arms, and Koala, after eating the Devil Fruit, hurried out of the living room.
After seeing the two leave, the smile on Reno's face gradually faded.
The rewards had been distributed; now it was time to find Zephyr.
He had to find Zephyr before he detonated the gunpowder rocks.
"Robin, open the radar, scan all ships within a 4000-kilometer radius, and find Zephyr as soon as possible!"
"Understood."
Robin dared not be careless and immediately began to act according to Reno's orders.
One hour.
Two hours.
Six hours.
One day.
Two full days passed.
With the airship's flight speed and the radar's scanning range of several thousand kilometers, Reno had almost flown across half of the New World, yet still found nothing.
However, he did not lose heart; at this rate, he would surely find Zephyr in another two days.
Finally, on the third day.
"Captain, we have a discovery!"
Robin, in charge of radar monitoring, suddenly let out a joyful cry.
On the screen, a fleet of ships was hundreds of miles away from the airship.
On the mast of each ship, a skull flag unique to "NEO" fluttered.
"I finally found you."
Reno looked at the four familiar figures gradually appearing on the ship's deck, a satisfied smile on his face.
The burly man in the center wore glasses, had short purple hair, and his muscles were bulging.
Most striking was the massive mechanical arm, "Crusher," attached to his right arm.
Former Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr.
The beautiful woman standing beside him had long, soft, wavy sea-blue hair, wore a purple tank top and black hot pants, had an "X"-shaped scar on her right leg, and a blue cloak draped over her shoulders.
Paramecia Type: Time-Time Fruit user, Ain.
The person on the far left.
He was dressed flamboyantly, wore a pink headscarf, a black jumpsuit with yellow cloud patterns, and carried a katana on his back.
Paramecia Type: Lush-Lush Fruit user, Binz.
The person on the far right.
He was burly and muscular, wearing red armor with white patterns, and a purple cape draped over his back.
Zephyr's beloved subordinate, leader of the NEO Marine Guerrilla Unit.
A Longarm Tribe warrior skilled in Navy Six Styles and Haki, Shuuzo!
"Is he the former Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr?"
Looking at the old man on the screen, Reiju frowned slightly.
Although she had never met Zephyr, his name was widely known.
It was common knowledge that in Naval Headquarters, many Marine Vice Admirals, and even the three Admirals, were all Zephyr's students.
"Unfortunately, that's all in the past now. Zephyr's current strength is like a chasm compared to an Admiral."
Doll chuckled and shook her head, adding to the side.
Nami, Tashigi, and Kalifa, among other girls, glanced at it once and then indifferently looked away.
Of course, not everyone shared their attitude.
"Perfect."
Rebecca gently stroked the Beast King Transformation at her waist, a glint of excitement flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Having spent a full twenty days in the Time Room, she was in dire need of a suitable opponent.
"Black Arm Zephyr, huh?"
Looking at the purple figure on the screen, a powerful fighting spirit and aura surged from Rebecca.
"I also want to try out my Devil Fruit Ability."
Koala playfully handled the Killer Bees in her hand, her gaze fixed on the burly figure.
He was quite big, but she wondered if he could withstand her Killer Bees.
"Captain, I'll help you snatch that beautiful woman."
Monet excitedly pointed at the blue figure.
Reno smiled and nodded.
Before this, he had already informed the girls of everyone's information.
This included their strength and abilities.
"In that case, I'll take care of the remaining one."
Baby-5 unhesitatingly chose Binz.
What Lush-Lush Fruit, what plant manipulation.
She would just launch a missile, and it would all be blasted to smithereens.
While the girls were chatting, the airship had already appeared in the sight of Zephyr and the others.
On the ship.
"Teacher, it's Reno!!"
Ain's pupils suddenly contracted as she looked at the figure on the deck.
Reno's experiences were legendary, to say the least.
Nowadays, in the Grand Line, simply mentioning his name would cause people to automatically associate him with numerous labels.
Powerful, taking the top spot!
"Teacher, I haven't found any trace of Hancock or Nami, and I don't recognize the four people beside Reno."
Ain looked at the four girls, Rebecca, and the others, frowning slightly.
Binz and Shuuzo were filled with surging auras, their eyes full of vigilance.
Although they were prepared for a fight to the death with Reno, his power still instinctively made them feel fear.
"What are you afraid of?"
"A vicious pirate like Reno must be eliminated even more!"
Zephyr keenly noticed their abnormality and immediately roared.
He knew Reno's strength better than anyone.
His close friend Garp, and his proud student Kizaru, had all died at the opponent's hands.
The main reason Zephyr dared to be so fearless was because of a certain item that gave him enough confidence.
"Go!"
Reno spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the four, including Rebecca, shot out like arrows from a bowstring, rapidly charging towards the fleet ahead.
Their objectives were clear, each seeking their respective opponents.
"They really think we're pushovers!!"
Binz looked at the four charging fiercely, stretched his joints, and immediately assumed a fighting stance.
0... Please give me flowers --- "Go ahead, let this old woman see your strength!"
Baby-5 calmly exhaled a smoke ring, her tone very casual.
"Bastard!!"
Being so disregarded by the opponent, Binz's face completely darkened.
"The women around Reno cannot be judged by normal standards."
Looking at the huge weapon on Baby-5's back, Binz narrowed his eyes slightly, putting away the kunai shurikens hidden in his hand.
"In that case, let's see who's superior!!"
"Lush-Lush!"
"Lush-Lush!"
Binz twisted his body, and the plants on the deck grew rapidly at a visible speed.
The originally slender branches quickly turned into giant vines.
"Let me show you what I can do!"
At Binz's command, in an instant, all the vines, imbued with extremely strong penetrating and binding power, attacked Baby-5.
"Hahahaha, excellent!!"
Baby-5 laughed loudly, also activating her Weapon Devil Fruit Ability.
"Weapon Transformation · Scythe Woman!!"
Baby-5 instantly completed her form transformation, her upper body turning into a giant scythe.
Under the sunlight, a dangerous glint of cold steel appeared.
"Your plants are no match for my weapon!!"
The giant scythe spoke in a human voice and slashed out.
A 360-degree spin, cutting all the surrounding vines in one strike.
Although these plants could block bullets and cannon attacks, slashes and super-high temperature flames were their bane.
"Damn it!!"
Looking at the severed plants, Binz cursed angrily.
The opponent was actually a Weapon Devil Fruit Ability user who could transform into any weapon.
This was troublesome.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Die for me!!"
Shuuzo leaped, a dark sheen appearing on his muscular body.
His entire body was covered in Armament Haki!
His powerful physical techniques and Haki were his means of attack and the source of his confidence.
"Afraid of you? Never!!"
Koala raised her eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly.
"Killer Bees · Beast Form!!"
The next second, her petite body rapidly expanded.
To Shuuzo's astonishment, a creature with an exoskeleton, black and yellow stripes, and transparent wings with complex veins behind it, appeared before him at an extremely fast speed.
"This is a Killer Bee??"
Shuuzo's pupils slightly contracted, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"Swarm Summon!!"
"Stinger Attack!!"
The giant Killer Bee spoke in a human voice, and the next second, an overwhelming swarm of Killer Bees instantly surrounded Shuuzo.
Soon, amidst a scalp-tingling gnawing sound, Shuuzo's shrill screams could be heard.
"Little sister, you are no match for me, just surrender."
Monet smiled as she looked at Ain, who was facing her as if facing a formidable enemy.
She was the woman the Captain favored; if she could avoid violence, she would.
"Damn it, how could I possibly surrender to you despicable pirates!!"
"Let me show you what I can do!!"
Ain lightly shouted, and with a bang, a peach-colored flame, like a will-o'-the-wisp, suddenly rose from her palm.
This flame had no destructive power or lethality; it merely allowed her to activate her Time-Time Fruit Ability.
If she touched someone or something, their age would rewind by 12 years.
Multiple touches could even completely erase the target from the world.
"Time-Time Fruit Ability, huh??"
Monet glanced at the flame in Ain's palm, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Little sister, since you won't listen, don't blame big sister."
"Don't worry, big sister will go easy on you."
Monet's golden eyes gradually revealed a dangerous glint.
The fangs in her mouth transformed into a row of sharp teeth.
"Blizzard!!"
Monet simultaneously pulled away from Ain and raised her arm.
In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and the world completely transformed into a realm of ice and snow.
Sensing the advantage on the other two battlefields, Monet didn't want to waste time and directly unleashed her strongest move!
The ice and snow tornado she created could easily trap enemies, restricting their vision and mobility.
After a while, enemies trapped inside would completely turn into ice sculptures due to the low temperature.
"Damn it..."
The vast, white world immediately made Ain panic.
She looked at the peach-colored flame in her hand, suddenly feeling like she had strength but nowhere to use it.
"So, so cold..."
Before long, the flame extinguished.
Ain, covered in ice shards, exhaled cold air, her body involuntarily trembling.
Her consciousness gradually became blurred.
As Ain and the other two's battles fell into difficulty one after another.
"Former Admiral, huh??"
As Rebecca continuously pressured Zephyr, her gaze occasionally flickered towards the "Smasher" on his right arm.
It was said that after Zephyr's arm was severely injured, Marine scientists transformed his right arm into a mechanical arm equipped with Sea Stone, possessing formidable power.
"Reno, are you really letting this kid be my opponent?"
Zephyr adjusted his slightly slipping sunglasses and shook his head dismissively.
