Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

"Carmelo, you are not worthy of this Devil Fruit."

As they were talking, Pandora had already arrived in front of Renault, but before it could react...

A large, jet-black hand reached out and grabbed it directly.

"Let...let me go!!!"

The squeezing force distorted Pandora's face as she struggled to break free from Renault's control, tiny flames flying wildly.

"Mom, help me!!"

"Save you?? Your mother can barely take care of herself, and you're still going to be saved?!"

Bang

The moment he finished speaking, Renault exerted force and crushed Pandora.

The flames slowly died out in Renault's hands, as if Carmelo's life was on a countdown.

"You...you know Armament Haki?!"

"You're faking it?!"

Even if Carmelo were stupid, he would understand.

Renault not only saw through her scheme long ago, but also concealed his true strength from the beginning.

"Isn't it a little too late to realize this now?"

A smile spread across his face as Renault closed in on Carmelo once more.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, my talent is just as good as Lingling's."

"I'm even stronger than Lingling!!"

"You... Renault, no, don't kill me!!"

Terrified, Carmelo tripped over a tree branch.

"Renault, I promise you, as long as you let me go, I will never do this kind of thing again."

"I will not sell these children to the World Government anymore, please let me go."

Driven by an intense will to survive, Carmelo knelt before Renault, begging for mercy without any dignity.

She's even stronger than Lingling; even if she gave it her all, she wouldn't be a match for her.

"It's too late to say all this now. You should go to hell and repent to the children you sold!!!"

"Half burial!!!".

024 The Soul-Soul Fruit is in hand, an unexpected surprise!

"Half burial!!"

As the soft shout rang out, a sharp sword light flashed by.

Carmelo, kneeling on the ground, instantly widened her pupils and stared blankly as she looked down at her chest in disbelief.

Pfft-

A wound slowly appeared, and blood splattered everywhere.

Carmel opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he collapsed to the ground.

"It is your own fault and you will not live!"

Renault looked calmly at the dead Carmelo. She had brought this upon herself.

"Little Lord!!"

Rogge sheathed his longsword and walked over from the other side of the forest.

"Well done."

Renault nodded slightly; it was Rogge who had just killed Carmelo with a single sword strike.

Carmelo's corpse was carelessly kicked into the river, and the strong smell of blood attracted many piranhas.

Countless piranhas swarmed forward, opening their blood-red mouths to frantically devour Carmel's corpse, causing the calm river water to churn and roar.

Before long, the piranhas, having had their fill, thrashed about before sinking back to the bottom of the water.

With their disappearance, all traces of Carmel also vanished from this world.

"Rogge, where are the things I asked you to prepare?"

"Young Master, I've brought everything."

He opened the backpack behind him, which was filled with many different kinds of fruit.

"I hope it will succeed."

"Open the system panel!"

[System panel is opening!]

[Host: Reno]

[System: Great Voyage System]

Swordsmanship: lv30-31/20000

[Observation Haki: lv10-11/30000]

Armament Haki: lv10-11/30000

[Navigation Value: 0 points]

[Fortune Value: 20]

------

With a clear objective, Renault immediately focused on the "luck" metric.

"I don't know if 20 points of luck will work, but I'll give it a try!"

"Otherwise, finding the Soul-Soul Fruit again will truly be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"System, consume 20 points of luck to regenerate the Soul Fruit into this pile of fruit in front of you!"

[Your luck points are being deducted. The chance of a Devil Fruit rebirth is 20%. Please wait patiently.]

To be honest, Renault wasn't entirely confident either.

If 100 points of luck are consumed, then the chance of the Soul Fruit being reborn in front of him is 100%.

However, with only 20 points of luck, the probability is only 20%.

Even so, Renault was still willing to take the gamble, as this was his only chance to obtain the Soul-Soul Fruit.

As time ticked by, Renault grew increasingly anxious.

The hope in my heart gradually faded away with the passage of time.

"Still not working?"

Undeterred, Renault clenched his fist and kept scanning the fruit in front of him.

But several minutes passed, and the fruit still showed no signs of life.

Just as Renault turned his head in great disappointment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of one of the fruits that was beginning to change.

Strange patterns began to appear on the fruit, and it quickly transformed into a bizarre devil fruit.

It worked!

A 20% probability has become 100%!

Overjoyed, Renault immediately picked up the Soul-Soul Fruit and examined it with great delight.

"It seems I've always been lucky."

The power of the Soul-Soul Fruit is undeniable; it is definitely one of the top Devil Fruits on the sea.

In the original story, Lingling ate the Soul-Soul Fruit and became the Soul Queen who ruled the sea.

However, Reno did not intend to give the Devil Fruit to Linlin.

In his opinion, Lingling, who possesses the talent of the Iron Balloon and superhuman strength, has a very good option.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are the most suitable for Linlin.

The same applies to him.

Of course, Reno wouldn't give this Devil Fruit to anyone else.

If he can't find a suitable Devil Fruit for Linling in the future, he will still give this Devil Fruit to Linling.

It can be considered a backup option.

The rebirth of the Soul-Soul Fruit means that Reno's plan has once again succeeded in part.

He came to the giants for three reasons.

The first thing is to learn and master the giants' combat techniques to dominate the country.

The second thing is to kill Carmelo and obtain the Soul-Soul Fruit.

He has already completed the first two tasks.

As for the last thing, it can only be done when he returns to the House of the Lamb.

In high spirits, Renault put away the Soul-Soul Fruit.

"Haven't you had enough after watching for so long?"

Renault looked towards the east side of the forest, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

"Get out of here!!!"

Dead!

A dead silence!

Deep in the forest, apart from the sounds made by Renault and Roger, there was no other noise.

Roger frowned slightly, then vanished in an instant.

Not far away, behind an ancient tree, Longbread covered its mouth, trying its best not to make any noise.

He was still shaken by the bloody scene he had just witnessed.

Damn it, today was such a terrible day!!

Why did he have to see things he shouldn't have seen?!

An ordinary-looking child possesses such formidable strength, as does the unknown swordsman.

He killed the old nun in one move.

"We've run into two tough guys. We can't afford to mess with them. Time to get out of here!"

Having made up his mind, the long bread tiptoed away, preparing to leave.

However, as soon as he lifted his foot, the chill that ran down his neck frightened him so much that he dared not move at all.

"Young Master told you to get out, didn't you hear me??"

Rogge pressed his sword against the longbread's neck, his killing intent surging.

He would kill the long bread immediately if it made any unusual move.

"Gudong-"

Long bread swallowed, its forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, and its clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

"I'll be right out, calm down."

025 Four Joys at the Door

Renault stopped here because his Observation Haki detected the scent of the long bread.
