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

Even if there are higher ones, they shouldn't be underwater.

"Wait...no, that's not right!!!"

Just then, Renault, who was thinking of a certain possibility, suddenly went blank and his eyes glazed over.

His slightly dry lips parted slightly: "Could it be that thing??"

"Captain, what are you saying??"

"Are you alright, Captain?"

To Flameflower and the others, Renault seemed frozen in place, muttering to himself and occasionally changing his expression.

Reno, regaining his senses, glanced at everyone and his throat bobbed involuntarily.

His previously blank gaze instantly turned fiery.

"Find it! We must find that thing, at all costs!!"

Renault practically shouted these words.

The others exchanged puzzled glances.

They didn't know why Renault had suddenly become so excited, as if he already knew what the treasure was.

"Rogge, you personally take control of the pirate ship and sail in the direction I tell you. It has to be fast!!!"

Renault didn't have time to explain much to them.

If it really is that thing, this might be the only chance you get.

Seeing Renault's serious expression, Roger realized the gravity of the situation and immediately took control of the ship, navigating according to Renault's instructions.

The ships sometimes went east, sometimes west, sometimes south, and sometimes north.

The people on the boat were getting dizzy from all the spinning.

But when they saw Renault's serious expression and the undisguised fervor in his eyes, although they were puzzled, they didn't ask any more questions.

They believed that Renault would give them an explanation afterward.

"You lazy bum, how can you still be running so fast at this hour?!"

Renault gritted his teeth, staring intently at the virtual panel in front of him, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Continuously adjust the ship's direction based on the position of the flashing red dot.

That's right, the reason Renault was so agitated was because of the dead fish he mentioned.

Lord Lantern!!!

Lantern Master is a lanternfish that appeared in a One Piece movie.

What Renault really cared about wasn't the fish itself, but what was inside its belly.

A century ago, a scientist and his wife extracted a very precious metal in order to treat his daughter's terminal illness.

Pure gold!!

Wearing pure gold can slow down aging, extend lifespan, and maintain youth forever!

In the theatrical version, the scientist's daughter, because she wore a ring with pure gold, not only cured her illness and lived to be over 200 years old, but also her appearance remained unchanged from 200 years ago.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The light emanating from the pure gold attracted a giant lanternfish that liked to collect glowing things, and eventually the lanternfish swallowed the island whole.

From then on, pure gold became just a legend, disappearing once again into the sea.

Pure gold is arguably the most precious treasure in the entire One Piece world, bar none!

Even the Celestial Dragons are eager to get their hands on it!

Upon learning that the constantly shifting red light was likely a giant lanternfish, how could Renault not be excited?

No matter how calm and composed he may be, this is something that can preserve youth forever, or even grant immortality.

Moreover, for him, pure gold is not just about eternal youth.

Even the strongest have their peak period; it is only during their peak that they are at their most powerful.

However, peak periods are all time-limited.

In the world of One Piece, most powerful figures reach their peak around the age of 40 to 50.

Beyond this period, all aspects of physical fitness will begin to decline to varying degrees.

Take Flame Flower for example. If you compare her at seventy years old with her at forty years old, who is better?

The answer is self-evident.

If they could wear pure gold in their forties, their abilities could remain at their peak forever!

050 flash sale, get pure gold!

Most importantly, as Renault accumulates more combat experience, his strength will only grow stronger.

What if the Reno Pirates had dozens, or even hundreds, of members who maintained peak strength in the future?

What kind of impact would it be if they all rushed in during a battle?

Seizing the opportunity, Renault is determined to acquire the pure gold.

As the red dot on the map kept changing positions, Renault gradually lost patience.

As long as it doesn't come out, Renault has no way to deal with it.

Moreover, if it leaves the area within a kilometer, it will be even more difficult to find it in the future.

"Since you won't come out, I'll make you come out!!"

Somewhat annoyed, Renault snorted coldly.

"All of you, come up here!"

Renault glanced at the Kuja warriors on another pirate ship and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

The Kuja warriors exchanged glances, paused for a second, and then arrived at Reno's pirate ship.

Even the Empress is Renault's woman, so naturally they wouldn't disobey him.

The departure of the Kuja warriors left a large empty area on the previously crowded deck.

"Let's see if you come out this time!!"

Renault casually waved his hand, and a pile of glittering gold instantly covered the entire deck, shining brightly in the night.

The sudden appearance of a massive amount of gold stunned the unprepared Flameflower and the Nine Serpent Warriors.

The golden light reflected in everyone's pupils eventually turned completely golden.

I never expected Renault to be so rich; this pile of gold must be worth a lot of money.

Seeing Flameflower and the others' lapse in composure, Jess and the others covered their mouths and chuckled.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of what they obtained in Golden Country.

If they knew how much gold the captain had, they'd probably faint with joy.

The gold covering the deck gleamed brightly, shining especially brightly in the darkness.

The surrounding sea was shimmering with light reflected from the pair of gold pieces.

"What is the captain doing?"

Tonight, Renault's series of strange actions have piqued everyone's curiosity.

Time passed by minute by minute.

One minute.

Two minutes.

...

About ten minutes later, the increasingly bright and flashing red light on the map made Renault's lips curl into a slight smile.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?!"

The next second, the once calm sea suddenly began to churn, stirring up huge waves, as if something was about to burst out of the sea.

Beneath the sea surface, a colossal creature, glowing all over, darted about wildly, rampaging and crashing about.

"What is this?!" Everyone gasped in astonishment upon seeing the colossal golden object traversing the water.

"What is this?!!"

"Is this the treasure the captain is looking for?"

As the lanternfish drew closer, Renault's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

"They're finally here. Be careful, all of you."

At Reno's signal, the two pirate ships were now some distance apart.

boom-

峮⒊⑺易七贰九⑴依㈨

With a loud bang, a giant lanternfish burst open the sea surface with its gaping maw, a mouth as big as an island, and pounced on the gold on the deck like a hungry wolf.

Above it hung a huge, glowing lantern, shining brighter than gold, illuminating the dark sky with its appearance.

roar-

The lanternfish roared, its eyes fixed on the pile of gold, its greed undisguised and its excitement palpable.

"wishful thinking!!"

Renault snorted coldly, and as the lanternfish leaped out of the water, he waved his hand, instantly sweeping away the massive amount of gold on the deck, which then disappeared without a trace.

The lanternfish leaped up, its gaping maw snapping shut, swallowing the entire pirate ship whole.

However, the sudden disappearance of the light enraged the lanternfish, which roared and howled incessantly.

The gold disappeared, and the lanternfish's eyes were filled with resentment, just as it was about to fall into the sea.

Renault seized the opportunity and disappeared from the deck, his entire body transforming into a streak of light at an extreme speed.

The moment he approached the lanternfish, he had already firmly grasped the longsword in his hand.

"Stay here, half-buried!!!"

Swish————

The flying slash burst through the air, cleaving the sea in two, instantly covering a distance of tens of meters and splitting the entire ocean in two diagonally.

Countless sea monsters resting and swimming underwater were dismembered, their blood staining the sea surface red, and a strong, pungent smell of blood permeated the air with the sea breeze.

A single slash shocked everyone present.

What terrifying power does this contain?

A single sword strike cleaved the sea in two!

At this moment, Flameflower finally had a direct understanding of Renault's strength.

"roar-"

As the slash was unleashed, it was accompanied by the lanternfish's painful howl.

The pain emanating from its body caused it to writhe uncontrollably, stirring up huge waves that continued to spread outwards.

Just now, the glowing lantern filled with pure gold on its head was chopped off by Renault in one move and fell off its body.

The lanternfish, feeling light as a feather, felt a daze in its head, as if something was missing.

A few seconds later, its eyes rolled back, its mind went blank, and the whole fish sank into the sea.

Oh no, it's coming for me!

This was its last thought!

Renault had no time to deal with this guy; the instant the giant pure gold lantern fell into the sea, he immediately put it into his system inventory.

He then returned to the deck.

At this moment, all the crew members' eyes were fixed on him, their wide-open eyes completely glazed over.

Someone opened their mouth, but couldn't utter a single word due to dryness.
