Chapter 128: [127] Revealing Rewards[1]

Chapter 128: [127] Revealing Rewards[1][2500 Words]

On the wooden dining table, several unique Devil Fruits appeared, each distinct from the other in terms of both shape and the aura they radiated.

Ren was about to count the number of Devil Fruits when Miss System interrupted him.

[Master, I suggest you claim your rewards for completing your tasks first. This will make identifying the Devil Fruits and their abilities easier.]

"Oh, if you say so."

Ren wasn't one to refuse the system's advice. The moment he nodded, several notifications that had previously been ignored flashed before him.

.

¶[-Ding! Congratulations to the Master, for completing the main mission "Kill Whitebeard," and earning: Armament Haki Scroll (Advanced) + Observation Haki Scroll (Advanced) + Conqueror's Haki Scroll (Intermediate) + 50,000 Physical Points.]

"!!!"

Ren was so stunned by the reward that the girls at a distance noticed his reaction. He gave them a nod to signal that everything was fine, then refocused on the system interface, suppressing the overwhelming excitement swelling within him. Yet, he couldn't hide the wide, excited grin that spread across his face.

'This is incredible! I didn't expect that merely contributing to Whitebeard's death would count as completing the main mission...'

The main missions had always been visible on the system's interface and never changed. All of the rewards were labeled as "random." Most of these missions involved engaging in sexual encounters with female characters from the original story, but there were still tasks linked to killing major figures such as the Yonko, Marine Admirals, World Government agents, and the Five Elders and others...

Ren was so thrilled that he immediately accepted the rewards. The process of enhancing his Armament and Observation Haki began as soon as he asked Miss System to use the scrolls on him.

He felt as though an eternity had passed, though in reality, only a single second had elapsed in the outside world.

When he came to his senses, everything around him seemed different. He could perceive the world in a way that was far more detailed and precise, as if his eyes had been opened to the true nature of reality.

'So this is the advanced level of Observation Haki... sensing intentions and emotions... the final stage must be reading thoughts and The future Sight...' Ren muttered in awe. Soon, he noticed another change-this time in his body.

(Author's note: A slight modification. Future Sight is now at the Grandmaster level, not part of the advanced Observation Haki stage.)

He could feel that his body had grown significantly stronger. He hadn't yet used the 50,000 Physical Points he'd earned, but he knew this sudden surge in strength came from the advanced level of Armament Haki.

The system had enhanced his body to withstand the advanced Haki, and this brought even more benefits.

Ren was already reveling in the powerful sensation.

After a few moments, he composed himself and checked his current status.

"This technique opens up entirely new possibilities," Ren thought, gazing at his hands, focusing the Haki energy into his palm. "By allowing the energy to flow from any part of my body, I can unleash a powerful force without needing physical contact. It's like having an invisible weapon."

He looked out the window at the trees in the distance, carefully watching them. "Imagine if I could direct my energy toward distant targets. By emitting invisible force, I could damage enemies or destroy objects without touching them. This opens up whole new strategies in combat and would allow me to face even the mightiest sea creatures!"

Ren imagined how this technique would serve him in future battles. "I could use Emittance to repel enemy attacks. For instance, if someone tries to strike me, I could let the energy flow from my hand to create an invisible shield, deflecting the attack. I wouldn't even need to counterattack-this energy alone would protect me."

He closed his eyes, attuning to the energy coursing through his body. "I could also use it to trigger small explosions. At close range, I could project Haki energy onto an object, like a stone, turning it into a miniature projectile that detonates on impact."

Ren smirked coldly as he envisioned using this technique to eliminate his enemies without them even knowing what hit them.

"Even in the toughest battles, I could keep my distance while still dealing serious damage. A simple release of energy would hit them with the same force as a physical punch, but without any direct contact."

Opening his eyes again, Ren resolved to begin training this technique immediately. "This ability will give me the advantage I need over the Yonko and other major figures...but against people like Doflamingo? I'll be able to crush them!"

"Now let's see Conqueror's Haki..." Ren was incredibly excited, yet he maintained a calm demeanor on the outside. An unknown power flowed into his mind and body, and within moments, Ren felt that the range of his Conqueror's Haki had increased significantly.

The most important aspect was that he could now control the range and determine who this Conqueror's Haki would affect!

"There's still one reward left. Ah... I'm already overwhelmed by all this power..." Ren laughed with a satisfied expression before consuming his remaining reward, which consisted of physical strength points. This enhancement greatly boosted his physical strength, to the point where Ren felt he needed to fight to acclimate to his new power. However, he forced himself to suppress this urge, as he still had things to accomplish.

"Miss System, show me my status."

[Understood, Master.]

.

He had already reached level 'S' in physical strength! Ren felt an enormous power flowing through his veins, vast as the ocean and strong as mountains. Filled with excitement and strength, he wanted to crush an island or two.

It wasn't easy for him to calm down after receiving all this power!

After a few minutes, he managed to relax and adapt to the changes he had undergone. Then he

continued examining the rewards.

¶[-Ding! Congratulations to Master, for completing the main mission "Kill Marco" and earning: 4 Low-Level Armament Haki Scrolls + 4 Low-Level Observation Haki Scrolls.]

When Ren read this notification, he raised his eyebrows and thought, 'So, did Marco really die? It seems the poison got him.'

As for the rewards, he intended to give them to the girls.

Ren recalled that he had three Low-Level Armament Haki Scrolls from a hidden mission when

Leila joined the crew, meaning he now possessed 7 Low-Level Armament Haki Scrolls and 4 Low-Level Observation Haki Scrolls.

'The members who have not awakened their Haki are Leila, Robin, Zala, Kalifa, and Kaya who only has Observation Haki...' Ren pondered. He had a surplus of Haki scrolls, and even after awakening both types of Haki for his crew, he would still have 3 Low-Level Armament Haki

Scrolls remaining.

"Girls, take this."

The girls, who had been chatting amongst themselves, stopped when they heard Ren's voice.

In the next moment, they saw several scrolls flying towards them, landing in the hands of

some crew members.

"Oh, it's the captain's rewards~ Congratulations!" Nami smiled as she watched the scrolls land in the hands of the five girls.

"Scrolls...?" Kalifa was confused, while the others understood the mysterious items Ren possessed and their magical effects. As a new member of the crew, Kalifa was bewildered.

Fortunately, Nami explained the scrolls to her, and with each word, Kalifa's expression changed until she was completely shocked.

"Y-you mean... if I consume this scroll somehow, I'll gain... Haki?!"

Kalifa knew what Haki was, of course, but she had been far from learning it. First, because mastering it required high physical strength, and second, because she hadn't done anything for the World Government that warranted her learning it.

But now... she would simply learn it?

Kalifa's gaze was confused, and she quickly glanced at Ren with her beautiful eyes. Then she

noticed the many Devil Fruits laid out on the wooden table. Her gaze froze, and she asked Nami with a trembling voice, "Is it possible... that the captain has a way to find Devil Fruits?"

It must be said that Kalifa used all her imagination to come to this conclusion upon seeing the

many Devil Fruits on the table. She would never have suspected, even in her wildest dreams, that Ren could extract Devil Fruits from those he killed.

Nami smiled, eagerly anticipating the shock on the blonde girl's face, so she quickly opened her mouth and spoke: "No, actually the captain's ability is..."

....

...

..

•

"..." Kalifa stared at Ren with a look of disbelief. What she had just heard from Nami turned

her understanding of the world upside down. Her beautiful, curvy body trembled, not from fear, but from excitement and enthusiasm.

Who wouldn't be excited to know that their captain could do all this?

Not to mention his ability to teach Haki to anyone he wanted just through mysterious scrolls; he had even more mysterious and terrifying methods, such as extracting Devil Fruits.

If the World Government had this ability, they would have eliminated every dangerous Level

6 prisoner in Impel Down! They would have wiped out every pirate they captured and ended

the Great Pirate Era by monopolizing the Devil Fruits!

But all of this pales in comparison to what Nami told her.

"R-rebirth...?! this is unbelievable, unbelievable..."

Kalifa's understanding of the world shifted after Nami informed her that Ren had brought her mother back to life, and Kalifa noticed that none of the girls seemed surprised. Nami and the

others had no reason to deceive her, so she trusted them despite the incredibility of their

claims.

"Come on, Kalifa, consume your rewards; I'll introduce you to Bell-mere later." Nami's voice snapped her out of her daze, and she nodded while looking at the two scrolls in her hands. 'It seems my decision to join him was the right one... no, it was a brilliant decision...' Back to Ren, who noticed the girls consuming their rewards, he silently nodded to them

before focusing again on the blue system interface.

¶[-Ding! Congratulations, Master, for completing the hidden mission "Destroying the

Leaders of Whitebeard Pirates" and receiving: Iron Body Scroll (Low) x5.]

This reward piqued Ren's interest, and he immediately requested a detailed explanation

about this skill from the system.

He soon heard her voice in his mind and read the new system notification: [Iron Body (Tekkai) is a defensive technique within the Marine Six Powers (Rokushiki) that

hardens the user's muscles, making them as strong as metal, which reduces the impact of physical attacks. However, the user cannot move while activating Iron Body unless in the case of the Iron Body Fist Technique (Tekkai Kenpo), an advanced version of this skill that allows

the user to activate Iron Body while moving and fighting, granting the user the ability to

attack and defend simultaneously.]

Ren possessed a photographic memory but still read the system's description of the skill.

After that, he activated his photographic memory and absorbed all the information related to this technique.

Iron Body is a technique that relies on muscle strength; the stronger the person, the more

effective the technique. Yet, despite the hardening, the user's body is still made of flesh and blood, meaning that extremely powerful attacks can break through this defense.

The Iron Body Fist Technique used by some CPO members is unique because it overcomes the fundamental flaw of the Iron Body technique: the inability to move while activated.

'Miss System, when will this skill develop into the Iron Body Fist Technique (Tekkai Kenpo)

that allows the user to move while activating the skill?' he asked her eagerly. [That will be at the Medium level of the skill, Master.]

The system responded without delay. Ren nodded in satisfaction, then consumed the scroll

and felt the power of the new skill permeating his body. He felt he could now tense his muscles to make his body harder than steel!

He still had 4 scrolls left to distribute to the crew members who needed them in battles:

Nami, Nojiko, Mikita, and Robin.

Kalifa had already mastered this skill, leaving only Vivi, Zala, Leila, and Tashigi who were currently in Marineford, and the girls on Skypiea.

There were no objections to the distribution from the crew members; they couldn't be upset

with Ren for giving them power without asking for anything in return-or at least that's what

they thought.

As for Kalifa, she was already stunned by everything she had seen today. However, her loyalty to Ren rose at an alarming rate.

¶[-Ding! Congratulations, Master, for completing the hidden mission "Stealing a World

Government Agent" and receiving the "Upgrade for the Devil Fruit Extraction Ability."]

Miss system did not wait for her Master to react and sent a new message explaining his

reward:

[The ability to extract Devil Fruits has been upgraded. From now on, the Master does not need

to kill a Devil Fruit user to extract it; he only needs to defeat them or render them unconscious, after which he can claim the Devil Fruit without any issues. Additionally, the Master can remove Devil Fruits from crew members once they agree, without needing to

render them unconscious like enemies.]

She continued:

[The features of this ability have not changed, but a new feature has been added: the

extracted Devil Fruits no longer have any weaknesses against Sea Water and do not have an

unpleasant taste when eaten. However, the rule of consuming only one Devil Fruit still applies, meaning the host cannot eat more than one Devil Fruit.]

[As for the added feature, the host can now know the name of the Devil Fruit along with detailed information about its abilities and optimal development path, as well as who is best suited to consume it, provided that this Devil Fruit has been extracted through the system.]

Ren's eyes sparkled upon reading the last message from the System. So, this is what she meant: that this reward would help him identify these Devil Fruits! 'Very good... now let's see what we have here,' he thought to himself, looking at the Devil

Fruits with eyes gleaming with desire.

To be continued...
