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

[Fortune Value: 0]

.....

The previously depleted navigation points have once again reached an astonishing 140 million points.

Jess, with his S-level qualification, contributed 50 points.

The A+ grade player contributed 30 points.

Longbread and Haildin each contributed 5 points, for a total of 10 points.

The four crew members recruited in Elbaf brought Renault a total of 90 navigation points.

The remaining 50 points are the rewards from the Soul Fruit.

Renault never expected that a single Devil Fruit would earn him a reward of 50 sailing points, comparable to Jess's.

However, he was also well aware that the Soul-Soul Fruit was already one of the top Devil Fruits on the sea, something that could only be encountered by chance.

Such a generous reward is to be expected.

[Congratulations, host, you have gained a total of 140 million navigation points. Would you like to add them to your attribute stats?]

Renault stroked his chin, mentally allocating navigation points.

After weighing the options, he still allocated most of his navigation points to Conqueror's Haki.

After all, swordsmanship, as well as Observation Haki and Armament Haki, can all be improved through training.

The only difficult thing to master was Conqueror's Haki, and Renault didn't want to waste too much time on it.

As per Renault's request, the system quickly allocated the 140 million navigation points.

Swordsmanship 30 Navigation Value: lv40-41/80000

Observation Haki 30 Navigation Values: lv16-17/100000

Armament Haki 30 Navigation Values: lv16-17/100000

Conqueror's Haki 50 Navigation Values: lv12-13/100000

Renault was secretly astonished by the cleared navigation points again. He hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the 140 million navigation points before they were gone in an instant.

The higher the level, the more navigation points are required, and the more difficult the upgrade becomes.

[Ding! Detected that the host's Observation Haki has successfully reached level 15, and the ability to foresee the future has been successfully awakened!]

What a pleasant surprise! Another pleasant surprise!!

The system notification in his mind almost made Renault burst out laughing.

He originally thought that upgrading his Observation Haki would only increase his detection range, but he didn't expect it to actually bring about a qualitative change.

Observation Haki can sharpen the five senses, allowing one to perceive the presence of surrounding creatures and anticipate and avoid danger.

When one cultivates to the highest level, one can briefly foresee the future.

Charlotte Katakuri, the son of Big Mom in the original work, is a prime example; his Observation Haki has reached a level of perfection.

Of course, this is only one branch of Observation Haki.

For example, Queen Otohime of Fishman Island can sense other people's thoughts and emotions, convey her own ideas, and thus influence other people's minds.

The lone Redfield can read minds, and Elsa can hear the voices of the entire nation.

These innate and extremely special forms of Observation Haki are, in some ways, even rarer than Conqueror's Haki.

However, for Renault now, anticipating the future is enough.

"We still need to find ways to generate more navigation points in the future."

After sorting through all his haul, Renault stretched comfortably.

"captain!"

"captain!"

"........."

At this moment, Lingling and the others came out of the room one after another.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Renault nodded in response with a cheerful mood.

Navigator: Roger (Golden Sword Lion user)

Chef: Long Bread (Eat-Eat Fruit user)

Combatants: Lingling, Halding, Jess, Shadow

He was naturally the captain.

Although the ship is still missing many features, it now looks like it's basically taking the shape of a pirate crew.

Jess and Shadow are both extremely talented, but they have no experience in other areas, so they can only be trained as combatants.

"Captain, all the guards have safely returned to the Kingdom of Castor."

Rogge walked up to Reno and said.

Originally, Roger always addressed Reno as "Young Master," but now that the pirate crew has been formed and Reno is the captain, it's better to use a consistent form of address.

"I see."

Before leaving Elbaf, Renault sent the guards back to the Kingdom of Caster.

These people are quite capable; they are all elite forces of Castor. If it weren't for the need to protect Renault, the king wouldn't have mobilized so many people at once.

However, Renault's current strength is truly stretched thin.

Rather than keeping them by his side, it would be better to let them go back to protect the country and make better use of their abilities.

030 Arrived at Sky Island!

"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it?"

Renault looked at the dark figure and Jess, who were setting sail for the first time, and asked with concern.

"It's wonderful. The air I breathe every day is fresh. It feels amazing."

Jess opened his arms and took a deep breath.

This feeling of freedom made him feel great, and he couldn't help but shout out.

"Indeed, it's quite good." The shadowy figure nodded in agreement.

"After some time, Roger will teach you how to cultivate."

"Cultivation??"

Jess and the shadowy figure exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes lighting up.

"Captain, there's no need to wait any longer; the two of us are already ready."

Jess clenched his fist, already impatient.

The shadowy figure didn't speak, but Renault saw in his eyes an ambition no less than Jess's.

The long bread beside them slowly spoke up: "With your talents, as long as you work hard to cultivate, you will definitely become strong in the future."

It must be said that Renault has a keen eye for talent; the crew members he recruits are all exceptionally talented.

The words of the long bread made the two of them even more eager to cultivate.

"Don't rush. It's not too late to start cultivating after we reach our next destination."

"Moreover, cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so there is no need to be in a hurry."

Renault pressed his palm down, calming the two restless individuals.

"Captain, how much longer until we reach our next destination?"

Jess, who was focused solely on cultivation, asked urgently.

"Captain, where are we going next?"

Longbread, sensing the unspoken meaning, knew that Renault already had a plan in mind.

He was quite knowledgeable, but he didn't know if he had ever heard of the place they were going to next.

Renault, meeting the expectant gazes of the crowd, said slowly and deliberately, "Next, we're going to the Sky Island!"

Sky islands?!

Upon hearing the name, the long bread immediately frowned.

"Captain, isn't this place just a legend?"

Does such a place really exist?

He had also heard a little about the legend of the Sky Island.

However, most accounts suggest that the so-called floating islands are nothing more than castles in the air and do not exist at all.

I don't know who made this up.

"No, the Sky Island is real."

Renault shook his head, responding to the bread roll with a firm tone.

Because the Sky Islands exist in the white ocean above 10000 meters, many people believe that the Sky Islands are just a legend and do not exist.

"Don't worry, we'll be there in about half a month. Then you'll be able to see the legendary Sky Island."

Hearing Renault's confident tone, the skeptical bread roll said nothing more.

Is Sky Island a magical place?

Hearing Renault's conversation with Longbread, the remaining people who had never heard of Skypiea were somewhat puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, I still have half a month before I can start cultivating."

Jess, who was only interested in cultivation, had already begun to imagine his life as a cultivator.

Although he had never been to sea, he knew the dangers of the ocean and knew he had to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he would feel guilty if he dragged the pirate crew down when danger came.

"Long bread, I'm hungry, please make me something delicious."

Lingling, who was resting on the deck, suddenly stood up, pointed to her rumbling stomach, and looked pitiful.

After learning that Longbread was the pirate crew's chef, Linlin became very friendly.

"I'm hungry too. Long bread, make me one too."

The somewhat shy figure whispered.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away. Wait here for me for a while."

Helpless, the long loaf of bread turned and went into the kitchen.

The pirate crew members really have huge appetites; he spends most of his time in the kitchen.

"Sky islands?? I'm really looking forward to it."

Renault leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance.

There's a reason he chose Sky Island as his first destination after leaving Elbaf.

Sky Island possesses a vast amount of gold, worth at least several hundred billion Berries.

The pirate crew has just been formed and has many expenses. This fund can support them for a long time and is sufficient for all their various expenses.

You won't need to worry about money for a while.

Secondly, there's the issue of training for Jess, Sombra, and Hajrudin.

Aside from Hajrudin, who had some strength, Jess and the Shadow were practically powerless in his eyes.

Therefore, he planned to cultivate on the Sky Island for a period of time and experience its local customs and culture.

"We've finally arrived at Gaya Island."

Two weeks later, the ship finally arrived at Gaya Island.
