Harem Voyage: Starting with Overturning Nami

He was leisurely crossing his legs, engrossed in reading the newspaper in his hands.

The old man raised an eyebrow as he watched Renault and his group approach.

"Who are you?!"

He spoke without any expression.

Even the strange combination of one man and six women did not move the old man in the slightest.

Having weathered many storms, nothing can surprise him anymore.

Gentle Kaya took the initiative to step forward:

"Hello, sir, we're from the east."

"My name is Crocus."

Kaya was a little embarrassed by the interruption, but she still nodded politely.

She continued, "Grandpa Crocus, may I ask where this place is?!"

Upon hearing this, Crocus's voice suddenly rose several octaves: "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before someone answers your question?!"

"The younger generation these days is getting more and more impolite."

Nami's anger flared instantly, and she stepped forward: "We are the Reno Pirates from the East Blue, I..."

"This place is called Twin Points, and I am the lighthouse keeper here."

Nami's self-introduction was interrupted once again, and she immediately bared her sharp white teeth and snapped, "You old geezer, I think you're the one who's being rude! Can't you let someone finish speaking?!"

Seeing the silver arcs of electricity beginning to flicker on Nami's body, Crocus finally fell silent.

Renault, who had been watching the show the whole time, smiled and finally stepped forward.

"I am Reno, the captain of the Reno Pirates."

“I’ve heard of your name, Crocus.”

Ok? !

Crocus then turned his attention to Renault.

Reno walked over with a smile. "If I remember correctly, there was a ship doctor named Crocus on the ship of the Pirate King Roger."

“Most importantly…” Renault glanced at Crocus’s head, “you two have the exact same hairstyle.”

Nani? ! !

Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King?!

Ship's doctor Crocus?!

The women all stared blankly.

This infuriating old man in front of me is actually the doctor on Gol D. Roger's ship?!

Upon hearing Renault accurately state his identity, Crocus, who had been expressionless, suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's surprising that a junior could recognize me. It seems you came prepared."

"Let's go to my little house and have a chat."

Roar

Roar

Just then, a low hissing sound suddenly rang out.

"What is that sound?!" The women's expressions changed slightly.

Crocus, who had been so calm just moments before, suddenly tensed up and stood up abruptly.

“It’s the island whale Laboon,” Renault said casually.

"So big?!"

The women all looked in the direction from which the roar came, and then they saw a giant whale that was over 400 meters long.

Even if only a small part is exposed, it is comparable to a small mountain.

Immediately afterwards, they saw the enormous whale begin to violently crash into the red earth.

This strange behavior aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

"How many wounds does it have on its forehead? Did it get them all from this?!"

“That’s right.” Crocus nodded solemnly.

He immediately returned to the cabin, retrieved a powerful sedative, and quickly injected it into Labu's body.

He always used this method to calm Raab down whenever Raab was emotionally unstable.

Although it's not a cure, it can minimize the harm to Labu's body.

After the needle went in, Labu slowly calmed down.

Although it no longer made any movement, it still emitted mournful cries and lamentations.

"What's wrong with Labut?!"

Looking at Crocus returning, Makino asked with some heartache.

What on earth could possibly cause Lab to disregard the pain in his body and continue to ram into the Red Earth?

Crocus sat down again and told everyone a story about Laboon.

“So that’s how it is”

The women who knew the whole story exclaimed in admiration, never expecting that Raab was so kind and righteous.

But the result was truly regrettable.

"So many years have passed, the Rumbar Pirates are probably long gone..." Nami's words trailed off, but everyone understood what she meant.

More than fifty years have passed; if those people were still alive, they would have returned long ago.

"Sigh..." Crocus sighed helplessly, for he knew this very truth.

"So as you just saw, every time Laboon is about to crash into the Red Line, I give him a sedative to calm him down."

"But even so, it only serves to delay the onset of the disease."

Everyone looked at Rabu's head again; the crisscrossing wounds were truly heartbreaking to see.

"Actually, some members of the Rumbar Pirates are still alive."

Chapter 39 The Healing Power Shows Its Might! A Thief Found! (Requesting Data)

Roar.

Laboo roared again, as if it understood Renault's words.

A pair of eyes darted towards Renault.

"There are still people alive in the Rumbar Pirates? Is that true?!" Crocus exclaimed in astonishment.

He had tried to use his network of connections to conduct investigations, but to no avail.

In the end, we had no choice but to let it go.

“That’s right.” Reno nodded firmly. “But before we tell this story, Nami and Kaya, go and heal Laboon’s injuries first.”

Nami immediately created a small island cloud, carrying Kaya to the top of Laboon's head.

Looking down from above, the entire area is covered with a dense network of crisscrossing wounds, a mix of old and new, some of which are even still bleeding.

Kaya's eyes reddened; it must hurt so much.

Nami manipulated the island cloud to slowly approach until it was close to Laboon's head.

Kaya stretched out her small hands and aimed them at Laboon's head, her voice unusually gentle: "Laboon, be good, it won't hurt anymore soon."

A gentle force emanated from Kaya's palm, enveloping a wounded area on Lab's head.

There's no way around it, the rag is just too big.

Under the healing power, the wound in that area visibly shrank until it disappeared completely.

It's exactly the same as the skin on the rest of Lab's body.

"This is!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Crocus suddenly stood up, his long-calm mind stirred for the first time in decades.

He stared in disbelief at the intact patch of skin on Raab's head.

“Kaya is a Devil Fruit user,” Reno explained from the side.

Crocus nodded; it was pretty much what he had guessed.

Only Devil Fruits possess such wondrous power.

He seemed to have thought of something and pressed on, "Can her Devil Fruit ability cure any disease?!"

“That’s right, regardless of the disease.” Renault had already guessed why Crocus would ask that question.

“Okay.” Crocus nodded emphatically.

"If I had possessed that power back then, the captain wouldn't have died."

Renault didn't respond; he knew that Crocus was unwilling to accept that someone like Roger had died of illness.

But there are no ifs.

(Roger surrendered to the Navy because he had an incurable disease, so there's not really anything wrong with that.)

"Renault, could you please heal Lab before you leave this place?!"

Renault was taken aback. "Otherwise what?!"

“But this will probably delay your journey. With that girl’s stamina, it will probably take several days to completely cure Lab.” Crocus was somewhat troubled, after all, he and Renault were just casual acquaintances and had no real relationship.

Renault's expression was subtle. "Why don't you take another look?"

Puzzled, Crocus looked at Kaya again.

At this moment, Kaya was working hard to alleviate Lab's pain as soon as possible, and her forehead was covered with fine sweat.

But suddenly, a white light enveloped Kaya's body.

The next second, Crocus was surprised to find that Kaya's stamina had actually recovered.

His energetic appearance was completely different from the sweaty state he was in just a second.

"Fuck!!!"

This experienced old man swore for the first time.

What kind of Devil Fruit is so overpowered?!

It can even eliminate the negative effects on the body?!

"Hehe," Crocus chuckled self-deprecatingly, "It seems I'm quite ignorant."

"Reno, tell me about the Rumbar Pirates."

Laboon, who had been enjoying the healing power, also responded.

Renault nodded and began to recount the events of that year.

More than fifty years ago, the Rumbar Pirates had just entered the Grand Line, but because the road ahead was fraught with danger, they left Laboon at Twin Cape to avoid any accidents.

They also made a promise with Rab that they would definitely come back in three years and take Rab around the world with them.

Unfortunately it backfired.

During their voyage, the captain of the Rumbar Pirates unfortunately fell ill and died, and the other crew members were ambushed by the enemy in the Devil's Triangle, ultimately resulting in the annihilation of the entire crew.

Only Brook, who ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), was able to have his soul return thanks to the fruit's power.

Unfortunately, when he returned, his body had turned into bare bones.

Now, due to some reasons, Brooke is trapped in the Devil's Triangle and unable to leave.

After hearing Renault's account, Labour let out an excited growl for the first time.

It turns out that its former companion hadn't abandoned it; rather, an accident had occurred, and it was simply unable to return.
