Ren smiled with excitement as he thought about the loot he obtained from this battle.
- Future Appearance Scroll.
- Armament Haki cake.
- Devil Fruit Extraction ability.
- Second part of the Treasure Map.
-Energy Drink(Medium-level).
Ren was satisfied with this and pondered how to distribute the rewards.
Of course, he couldn't distribute the System's ability and the treasure map, so he only had the Armament Haki Cake and the Future Appearance Scroll.
As for the Energy Frink, Ren decided to use it on himself.
He felt that when he consumed the drink, he would transcend to another level, becoming more confident in combat and capable of doing whatever he pleased.
"Welcome to the crew" Ren smiled at her, removing the sea stone cuffs. She wouldn't be able to escape the ship anyway.
Mikita nodded fearfully, She decided to join this pirate crew because she was afraid and didn't want to die, at least not at his hands.
"Don't be too nervous, You're part of my crew now..I'm sure you have your own story, right? If you're ready to tell me, I'm all ears" Ren's previously cold demeanor changed, and he smiled brightly.
Mikita looked at the man in front of her in shock, She had planned to find a way to escape after he let his guard down, but his words made her hesitate.
Ren knew she wouldn't be loyal to him just because he added her to the crew this way, but he could prevent her from thinking about betraying him when she saw his strength and what he could achieve.
Ren bought a low-level Healing Potion from the System, took it out of The Infinity Space, and it appeared in his hand.
"Drink this" he said to Mikita, noticing her physical condition.
"What is this?"she asked, puzzled.
"Something good, Drink it"Mikita didn't dare to refuse..If he wanted to kill her, he would have done so already, so the chance of this being poisoned was low.
*Gulp~*
She drank the sweet liquid and quickly began to feel its effects.
"The pain in my body...it's disappearing?"she said in confusion, glancing instinctively at Ren.
He patted her head and said:"This is a Healing Potion..I can't have crew members in this condition and remain idle, can I?"Mikita felt conflicted upon hearing his words.
On one hand, he was the one who caused her this pain, but on the other hand, he was the one who healed her.
Mikita didn't know what magical Potion he had given her, but it was undoubtedly expensive.
Does he really want to make me one of his crew members?
These were Mikita's thoughts, At first, she thought he would make her just a disposable pawn he could discard if he faced a siege or something, but she didn't think he would consider her seriously.
Mikita's expressions changed every second, but Ren quickly pulled her out of her own thoughts.
"Come on, let me introduce you to the rest of the crew" he said, taking her hand and helping her up.
"Umm...okay" Mikita answered, walking beside Ren.
He went to Nami and the other girls , and said: This is the New crew member , his name is Mikita."
"Welcome, Mikita-san" Kaya was the first to welcome her.
Although Lorena wasn't a member of Ren's crew, she also smiled at Mikita and told her about her status as a temporary passenger.
"Since Captain Ren trusts you, don't try to betray that trust" Nami said, to preempt any thoughts of betrayal Mikita might have.
Nojiko nodded to Mikita and said, "Captain Ren is kind enough not to kill you..Don't do anything stupid."
Mikita swallowed hard at the sight of the cold expressions of the two girls, unlike the friendly Kaya and Lorena.
"I understand" she said, her voice trembling.
"What will you do with me?" Vivi looked at Ren fearfully...She was still saddened by Igaram's death and is now being captured.
Just like Mikita, when she saw Ren kill Mr. 5, she thought she would die too.
But she had a goal, she couldn't die.
She had to stop the rebels and save her country, as well as find a way to beat Crocodile.
"For now, nothing ,You'll remain confined to this ship" Ren said, then looked at Nojiko and said"Watch her, Nojiko"
"Ok Captain" Nojiko replied simply.
"Nami, Our destination is this" Ren handed Log Pose, which he obtained from Robin, to Nami.
"Understood Captain! We'll set sail now!"Nami replied.
And so, Ren's ship set sail towards the island near Arabasta, leaving behind Whiskey Peak.
Whiskey Peak had become almost a deserted city...Only the destroyed buildings and severed bodies could be seen, but amidst all this wreckage, there were lucky survivors who witnessed everything.
"It's the Black Death... it's a monster!"
[After several hours of Ren's departure]
The Marine ship was returning to its headquarters, but they decided to take refuge in Whiskey Peak first for some rest.
"What's happening here?!" the Marine commander exclaimed as he looked at the scene before him.
This wasn't the first time he had come to Whiskey Peak; he knew some of the bounty hunters here and they dealt with each other, like exchanging bounty rewards, etc.
Put that aside, the Marines who disembarked from the ship looked at the terrifying scene before them and swallowed nervously.
"What happened here?"
"Is it a pirate attack?"
"Who did this?"
"Let's search for any survivors!" the commander shouted and led his soldiers to search the area.
After a short while, one of the soldiers found someone pretending to be dead under the rubble.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a Marine! Who did this?!" the soldier exclaimed nervously and helped the survivor stand up.
"Ah...they're monsters!The Black Death! Ah! I'm sorry! Please don't kill me..."the survivor cried out.
The Marines who gathered around him looked at each other nervously.
"The Black Death?"
"Is it that pirate?"
The commander gritted his teeth and ordered one of his subordinates, "Bring me Den Den Mushi and tie me to the main headquarters!"
"Yes sir!"
.
Ren's ship cut through the waves as it headed towards its destination. Ren was preparing for a major battle against the Baroque Works organization.
[Host, I have news for you]
Ren heard the Miss System's voice in his mind, and he quickly responded:"Hmm? What's this news?"
[The host's status has been updated]
"How? What are these changes?" Ren wondered.
[You will know as long as you have sent your new status, does the host want to see his new status?]
"Yes."
Immediately after Ren's approval, a blue message appeared in front of him:
--------------------------------------------

¶[Girlfriends:Nojiko,Nami]
¶[Crew Members: Nojiko, Nami, Kaya, Tashigi, Mikita]
¶[Fleet Commanders: None]
--------------------------------------------
Some fields have been added to his status, Ren also noticed that the "Combat Skills" field has been deleted and all skills have been added to one field.
In addition to his height, bounty, and title, there is a field to evaluate the Devil Fruit, but Ren ignored it now because he doesn't possess a Devil Fruit.
"Fleet Commanders..."he muttered upon seeing the last field.
He sighed and shook his head, still far from that level.
But he' reach it, and he'll surpass it, Ren was sure of that as long as he had the desire, with the help of the system and commitment to training, he might open up new horizons.
Looking at his physical strength level, he was still at level D, but he was sure that he would break through after consuming the energy drink.
Ren took out the medium-level Energy Drink, which was a glass bottle from The Infinity Space.
The bottle contained a red liquid, resembling blood..Ren's image was reflected on the glass, and after a moment of silence, he opened it and drank the red liquid.
*Drink*
*Swallow~ swallow~*
After Ren drank the medium-level Energy Drink, which granted extreme strength, he immediately felt massive changes in his body and strength.
He felt a strong pulse filling every cell in his body, as if he were imbued with tremendous energy bursting from within him. Then, his muscles visibly bulged, and he felt an astonishing increase in energy and muscular strength.
In the next moment, his bulging muscles condensed, returning to their original state, but his body was filled with energy and vitality, Ren felt like he wanted to strike something!
At that moment, with the sound of water splitting, a small-sized Sea King emerged and bared its fangs towards Ren and his ship.
"It's a Sea King!" Vivi exclaimed in terror as she looked at the creature, which was larger than their ship.
Mikita's mouth watered as she watched the monster preparing to attack the ship.
While Kaya and Lorena, although they felt awed as it was their first time seeing a Sea King, they weren't afraid of it.
"Should I shoot it?" Nami asked Nojiko.
"I'll take it down!" Nojiko pointed her falcon at the Sea King, but before she could pull the trigger, Ren made a move.
*Geppo!*
With a sound as cold as ice, Ren flew into the sky at great speed.
He soared like a cannonball and landed in front of the Sea King in an instant, under the shocked gazes of Mikita, Vivi, and the rest of the crew. Ren wrapped his hand with Haki and punched the Sea King.
*Boom!!!!*
*Crash!!!!*
With a deafening sound, Ren's punch hit the Sea King's face.
A scene that shocked everyone on board the ship unfolded, widening their eyes in awe as they watched the Sea King's condition.
Ren's punch severed the Sea King's head from its body!
The blue seawater was dyed red, and the Sea King's head fell into the water, creating a high splash of blood.
"W-wow...Captain Ren is strong as usual" Nami said with deep admiration.
"This level of physical strength is extremely beastly" Nojiko stared fixedly at Ren, who was still in the air.
"Is he even human?!! This is unbelievably absurd!" Mikita found it unbelievable; if someone had told her that someone could kill a Sea King with just a punch, she would never have believed it!
But she witnessed it with her own eyes!
Her captain was extremely powerful!
Can I become as strong as him?
If I follow him, maybe he'll teach me some of his techniques...
Ren didn't know the girls' thoughts and didn't care, He looked at the Sea King's body and then at his clenched fist with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Girls, it looks like our dinner tonight will be Sea King meat!"
"Ok Captain!" Nojiko understood what Ren wanted, She jumped into the sky and went to retrieve the dead Sea King's body.
Ren looked at the blue interface in front of him again.

--------------------------------------------
There were no changes except for his physical strength, which exceeded 40,000.
His body became At Level C after consuming the energy drink, which increased his energy by 10,000.
Now, after consuming the energy drink, he still has the Future Appearance Scroll and The Haki Cake.
He decided to give the Armament Haki to Nojiko.
She will reach new heights with the Armament Haki's assistance, although it will take some time for her to cover her bullets with Haki, but Ren was confident in her abilities.
Nojiko didn't need to eat the cake directly; Ren used The succubus tattoo's Ability power and gave her the Armament Haki directly.
After receiving the notification from the system, the Haki Cake disappeared from The Infinity Space immediately.
Ren stood beside Nojiko, they were currently gathered in the hall with all the crew.
"This..?!" Nojiko exclaimed suddenly, catching everyone's attention,They looked at her curiously, and Nami was about to ask what was happening.
"So this is Armament Haki.." Nojiko said aloud as she tried to coat her hand with Haki; she felt like she could do it.
Indeed, Nojiko displayed her somewhat grayish hand to everyone.
"This is Armament Haki!"
"Did the captain give it to you? Congratulations, Nojiko!" Nami said with a smile and activated her own Haki.
Nami's Haki color was darker because she trained with it more and used it in her battles.
Nojiko smiled at her sister while boasting about her Haki.
She looked at Ren and hugged him gratefully.
"Thank you for making me stronger day by day."
Ren smelled her lovely scent and returned the hug, then said: "It's my duty as the captain of this crew, besides, I want to see you terrify your enemies with your strength."
"I'll" Nojiko assured him.
As for Mikita and Vivi, they were confused by what was happening.
What is this thing called Haki?
And it seems that the relationship between the cold girl Nojiko and The captain wasn't ordinary...
The two girls pondered, their faces showing confusion.
Ren saw their state and understood their confusion, He looked at Nami and said, "Explain to them about Haki and the rest of the things...You can choose not to tell the blue-haired princess since she's not a member of the crew."
Nami nodded and went to Mikita and Vivi.
And so, a long discussion began between Mikita, Nami, and Vivi; the shocked and awestruck voices of the girls filled the ship as Nami explained about Haki and Ren's ability to distribute it magically.
But Nami didn't mention Ren's ability to revive people, as Vivi was hostage, so she didn't mention it in front of her.
Also, Ren didn't give her the green light to do so, she didn't dare to say anything.
Kaya and Lorena went to prepare the food; Nojiko wanted to catch up with them, but Ren stopped her.
"Wait, I still have something for you."
Nojiko happily complied, and Ren carried her like a little princess, and they went to the room.
Upon reaching the room, Ren ordered the system to consume the Future Appearance Scroll on Nojiko.
The roll disappeared from The Infinity Space immediately, and a blue aura enveloped Nojiko's body for a few seconds.
When the aura vanished, Nojiko opened her eyes slowly.
"This..."She examined her unfamiliar body; it was her body, but some changes had occurred.
Her breasts became slightly larger and softer, and her hair only surpassed her shoulders slightly; its color became brighter and more prominent.
She looked at her skin in the mirror.
"Wow..." Nojiko exclaimed in surprise, her skin was white and smooth without any blemish.
Finally, she examined her lower body; her Ass became slightly larger, and her hips became fuller.
"You're very beautiful, Nojiko" Ren said on the side.
"Thank you Ren." She walked towards him and closed his lips with a hot kiss.
"Kiss~"
Ren held her beautiful body and rubbed her Ass while kissing her; Nojiko's suppressed moans were because of Ren's kiss.
They continued kissing for several minutes, and then they parted.
"Let's go back to the others; I'm sure they'll be surprised to see your current appearance" Ren said with a faint smile.
Nojiko laughed when she thought about Nami's expression when she saw her like this.
"Okay~"
.
Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku frowned when he heard the latest information about Ren.
This pirate entered the Grand Line and immediately slaughtered all the citizens of Whiskey Peak!
Whether they were civilians or bounty hunters, they were slaughtered mercilessly, leaving only a few lucky survivors who feigned death.
"Spread the news of this incident in the newspapers! The world must know the extent of the evil of such pirates to encourage more blood to join us!"
Sengoku shouted, and after a short pause, he said to his assistant "We should also issue bounties on the heads of his crew members based on eyewitnesses!"
"Yes, sir!" His assistant quickly responded.
He left and closed the door behind him; then, immediately, Sengoku called a certain number on his Den Den Mushi.
After a few seconds, the line was picked up, and a gruff voice answered:"The Vice Admiral Doberman is here."
"Doberman, the target has been spotted around Whiskey Peak, make sure to catch him!" Sengoku said firmly.
He wanted to close the file on this pirate as soon as possible.
"Understood, Sir!" After a short pause, Doberman asked with confusion:"But the target must have left long ago when I arrived there, do you have any idea about his exact destination, sir?"
Sengoku answered:"According to the information we have, it seems he was targeting clients of the Baroque Works organization, so it's clear that his goal is Arabasta..There's a possibility he might head there!"
"Do we set up an ambush for him in Arabasta or catch him before he arrives?" Doberman asked indifferently, seeming not to take Ren seriously.
"It's better to wait for him so he doesn't find any escape routes! We'll surround him from all fronts, and the leaders of the adjacent branches will cooperate with you, as well as Hina, who has a Devil Fruit power that supports well in battles, He won't have a chance to escape!" Sengoku smiled cleverly, as if his plan was flawless.
"I understand, sir!"
After that, the call was cut, and silence returned to the office.
Sengoku dialed another number, and a feminine voice answered this time.
"Hello..Hina here."
Sengoku quickly informed her about the plan to take down Ren, with Doberman leading the attack and Hina and other Marines supporting.
.
Loguetown.
Hina smiled with excitement after ending her call with the Fleet Admiral.
Why?
Because she would have a chance to take revenge on Ren!
Tashigi, who was in Hina's office arranging some documents, heard the entire conversation.
Her eyes gleamed with a cold light.
"Hina-san, I'll take my leave for today" she said with a smile on her face.
"You may go, but Hina wants to ask you about something" she said.
Tashigi kept her smile and said, "What does Hina-san want?"
"Do you want to go with Hina to the Grand Line? You might have a chance to contribute to the capture of Smoker's killer!" Hina said with excitement.
Tashigi pretended to be surprised and then said:"Really?! I want to go! I must catch that killer with my own hands and avenge Smoker-san!"
"Good, Hina will go tomorrow, You must follow Hina well, okay?" Hiina said with beautiful voice.
"Understood!"
After that, Tashigi left the office and started walking around Loguetown.
She found a dark place without any humans or noise. After checking her surroundings, she took out her Den Den Mushi from her pocket and called a specific number.
"Hello Captain..I have some big news."
