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

"Waaaaah... Will we never see Mom again??"

"Mommy is missing! Mommy can't be found!!"

"I want my mom!!"

Realizing that Carmelo might be in danger, the children, who were easily moved to tears, burst into tears.

"Children, don't cry. Things aren't as bad as you think. Maybe the nun really can't come for the time being because of something."

"Don't worry, we won't give up until we find her."

With Yoru's comforting words, the children quieted down and began to sob softly.

"Chief Yoruru, I am very saddened by what happened to the nun, but Lingling and I have been here for a long time, and we plan to leave tomorrow."

Renault, who, like everyone else, returned empty-handed, walked up to Yoruru and told him his decision.

During this time, he and Lingling also went into the forest with everyone to look for Carmel.

He has done more than enough in this matter.

028 Renault's Followers!

His efforts are evident to everyone; at least on the surface, he's very good at putting on a good show.

But finding Carmelo is out of the question for them in this lifetime.

"is that so??"

Chief Yoru nodded without surprise and did not reprimand him.

After all, Renault's purpose in coming here was to teach Lingling how to dominate the country. Now that she has learned it, there is naturally no need for her to stay any longer.

"Thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'll have someone take you out tomorrow."

"Chief Yoruru."

As soon as Yoru finished speaking, a figure in a black trench coat stepped out from the crowd.

His actions attracted the attention of others.

"It's a shadowy figure. What's wrong?"

Yoru looked down at the small black dot below and asked softly.

"I plan to leave the Land of Giants and go to sea with Renault."

The shadowy figure resolutely stated his decision. After a moment of stunned silence, Yoruru asked a question.

"Why do you want to go to sea? The ocean is extremely dangerous. Isn't it better to stay with the giants?"

"If you stay here, no one can bully you."

To Yoruru's question, the shadowy figure shook his head with a firm gaze.

Looking at the children around him who he spent every day with, he spoke his mind for the first time.

"Chief Yoruru, and everyone else, I've been very happy during the time I've spent with you, but this isn't the life I want."

"My dream is to become the world's number one assassin. Only by following Renault and going to sea can I realize my dream."

"I hope you can forgive me for leaving at this time."

Carmelo has not yet been found, and his departure will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the other children in the Lamb's House.

The children, who had never seen the shadowy figure speak so much before, stared wide-eyed as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

"is that so??"

Despite his extensive experience, Yoruru remained completely unmoved by the shadowy figure's words.

He could sense the firmness in the shadowy figure's tone as he spoke, suggesting that he had likely considered the matter for a long time.

"Alright then, if you want to go out, then go ahead. I'll let you know when I find the nun."

With Yoruru's permission, the shadowy figure nodded happily.

However, he knew very well that they would probably never find Carmel in their lifetime.

"that......"

"Can I go out too?!"

Just as Yoruru was about to tell everyone to go back and rest, Jess, who was in the crowd, came out again.

Yoru's gaze faltered, and seeing Jess's hesitant expression, she sighed softly and said:

"Jace, do you also want to leave here and go to sea with Renault?"

Jess, whose thoughts had been guessed, scratched his head awkwardly and nodded shyly.

“Yes, Chief Yorulu, I also want to go out and see the world.”

Adventures on the high seas had always been his dream, but whenever he brought it up with Carmelo, Carmelo would always change the subject.

Ultimately, the matter was dropped.

Although he also wanted to find Carmelo, Jess realized that this might be his only chance to go to sea in the near future.

If he missed this opportunity, he didn't know when he would be able to go to sea again. Jess, who longed for the sea, didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Jace, are you leaving too?"

The children didn't feel much about the usually taciturn and unsociable shadowy figure.

But Jess is the oldest among them, and he's like an older brother to them.

They were very saddened to hear that Jess was leaving.

"I'm sorry, I'll come back to visit everyone more often in the future."

Feeling guilty, Jess couldn't face his companions' eyes and could only lower his head.

Chief Yorulu looked at the shadowy figure and Jess, and could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Although they are all children, they have their own ideas, and even he can't interfere too much.

There's no point in forcibly keeping them among the giants.

He looked at the other children of the Lamb's House and spoke slowly.

"Besides Jess and the Shadow, is there anyone else who wants to leave with Reno?"

one second.

two seconds.

3717

29119

...

ten seconds.

No one answered.

"Chieftain, may I go too?"

Just as Yorulu breathed a sigh of relief, Halding, who was beside him, cautiously raised his hand.

Yoruru: ......

"You little brat!!"

"It's good to go out and see the world. A man's ambition should be to travel far and wide; he can't stay here all the time."

"But from now on, you have to listen to Renault, understand?"

With no other option, Yoruru carefully gave her instructions.

Although Halding was older than Renault, Renault was exceptionally meticulous and thoughtful in his work.

With Lingling, that little weirdo, by his side, Yoru was relatively at ease.

"Chief, I will definitely listen to you."

Haildin immediately patted his chest and assured her.

Halding's decision surprised Renault.

In his expectations, only Jess and Sombra would accompany him on his sea voyage.

The shadowy figure needs no further explanation.

As for Jess, after getting to know him, he could clearly feel Jess's longing for the sea and his ambition to make something of himself.

This ambition will not only not dissipate, but will instead grow stronger with age.

Therefore, his decision was something Renault had expected.

As for Halding, it was an unexpected bonus.

In the original story, Haldin had a brilliant performance in Dressrosa and could be considered a second-rate powerhouse.

In Renault's view, Haildin still has a lot of room for development.

Even if he doesn't become one of the top experts in the future, he will definitely have a place among the first-rate experts.

Renault would naturally be more than happy to have someone like that.

Yorulu confirmed several times that there were ultimately three people who went to sea with Renault.

They are Hajrudin, a giant warrior, and Jess, a shadow from the House of Lambs.

029 The prototype of the pirate crew!

After saying goodbye to the giants and the children of the Lamb's House, Renault left Elbaf with Linlin and the others.

On the calm sea, the ship sailed slowly away from Elbaf, cutting through the waves.

On the ship, Renault sorted through his spoils.

His trip to Elbaf brought him another hefty sum, a truly lucrative business.

Besides the Devil Fruits they've already obtained, the only other thing is the addition of four new crew members.

A-rank rank user of the Eat-Eat Fruit, a long bread roll.

Hajrudin, a giant warrior with A-level qualifications.

As a fan of the original work, Renault wasn't surprised by the strength and talent displayed by the two characters, or their qualifications.

What surprised him the most was Jayce and the shadow, especially Jayce.

The shadowy figure possesses an A+ rank!

Jess, S-rank qualification!

He knew Jess was talented when he was at the Lamb's House, but he didn't expect his talent to be so high, reaching S-level aptitude.

It must be admitted that Carmelo's business acumen is quite strong.

This is also the first S-level member recruited by Renault. Once he grows up, he will become a top expert on the high seas and become his right-hand man.

Renault was secretly delighted; he had truly struck gold!

"Open the system panel!"

Renault silently recited to himself.
