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

Faced with the attack, Reno decisively used Observation Haki to seal off the opponent's Observation Haki and then completely destroy it.

"How mysterious!"

Sensing that the other party's Observation Haki was like dispersing smoke, Renault couldn't help but sigh.

......

At the same time, Count Red, who was several hundred meters away from Renault, suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

Feeling uneasy because of what had just happened, he wanted to use his Observation Haki to read Renault's mind, but unexpectedly, his Haki was destroyed by a force before it even reached Renault.

What is going on? ! !

Since setting sail, his Observation Haki has never failed him, and it's unheard of.

Redfield immediately developed a great interest in Renault.

He wanted to see what kind of ability the other party possessed that could suppress his Observation Haki and even stop him from reading people's minds!

With a flash, he became a blur, instantly covering hundreds of meters and arriving in front of Renault once again.

Renault stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long time.

"You know me?!"

Recalling the subconscious joy that Renault exuded when he saw him, Redfield frowned slightly, a sense of suspicion creeping into his heart.

“I know you. You are Baron Red, the Lone Red!” Renault did not hide anything.

We should be even more honest with someone like Redfield, who is able to read people's minds and has a reclusive personality.

"I not only know you, but I've been looking for you!"

"Looking for me?!" Redfield was even more puzzled.

"That's right, I want you to join my pirate crew and become my right-hand man!"

Upon learning Renault's true purpose, Redfield's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"So you wanted to recruit me."

"But unfortunately, I'm used to being a loner and have no interest in joining a pirate crew."

For Redfield, who was used to all kinds of negative emotions, companions were the most useless thing.

It serves no purpose other than being a burden to oneself.

"Don't rush to reject me. Joining my pirate crew will bring you many benefits."

Reno laughed, not surprised by Redfield's rejection.

"Oh?! Tell me about it!"

Intrigued, Redfield crossed his arms and listened attentively.

"First of all, once you join my pirate crew, this is yours!"

With a flick of his wrist, a purplish-red Devil Fruit appeared in his palm.

Redfield, who had initially dismissed it, gave it a cursory glance, but that one glance was enough to keep him looking away.

His eyes were filled with undisguised greed, and he even lowered his arms, which had been crossed in front of his chest.

"This is... a bat-fruit in vampire form?!"

"good eyesight!"

As Reno responded, the Devil Fruit disappeared again.

"Where did you get this Devil Fruit?!"

Seeing the bat fruit suddenly disappear, Redfield, who hadn't had enough of the sight, asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to know that. Once you join my pirate crew, you'll be its master!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....."

Redfield suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Since you know me, you dare to negotiate with me?!"

"Even if I kill you, this Devil Fruit will still be mine!"

They'll start fighting at the drop of a hat!

The Red Earl, wielding his umbrella sword, unleashed a terrifying aura in an instant.

Before he even arrived, a powerful slash struck Renault ahead of him.

"Don't you know the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime'?!"

"How dare they flaunt such an overpowered Devil Fruit? They deserve to die!!"

A sharp, flying slash instantly covered a distance of tens of meters, striking Renault.

"It seems I can only talk about what to do next after I defeat you."

Renault shook his head somewhat helplessly. "At least let him finish what he was saying!"

What kind of childhood shaped Redfield into the person she is today?!

Renault wielded the Supreme Grade Sword and cleaved the sea, casually swinging out a single strike.

Swish

The air-piercing slash roared out, easily destroying Redfield's attack in mid-air, and its remaining force continued to kill him.

Redfield's expression changed slightly as he covered the sword with Armament Haki, shattering the incoming slashing wave.

Deng Deng

Although he managed to deflect the attack, the force of the impact sent him staggering back two or three steps.

"Your knife!"

Redfield's gaze sharpened, and when he looked at the knife in Reno's hand, he was filled with apprehension.

Although he didn't recognize the sword, if he wasn't mistaken, the fact that it could unleash such a powerful slash with such ease meant it was at least one of the twenty-one Great Swords.

"Can we talk this out now?!"

Renault didn't want to dwell on the issue of cutting off the sea, so he got straight to the point again.

"Ridiculous! You'd better defeat me first!"

Redfield has absolute confidence in his abilities!

Although he is not well-known, there are very few beings on the high seas stronger than him.

In his view, Renault, who was standing in front of him, was not among these people.

Redfield snorted coldly, unleashing his full Observation Haki.

As someone born with Observation Haki, which allows him to read minds, once he unleashes it, his ability to read minds will constantly invade the opponent's brain, putting pressure on them and probing their thoughts.

Although his Observation Haki cannot directly predict the future...

But before a person takes any action, they must first have an idea in their mind.

His Observation Haki is all-pervasive, allowing him to read the enemy's thoughts in advance.

Even a split second would be enough for him to react.

Sometimes, even the smallest idea can change the entire course of a battle.

Unfortunately, Redfield is destined to run into a snag this time.

To his surprise, he discovered that his Observation Haki was completely unable to reach Reno.

It was as if an invisible barrier stood between the two of them.

As long as his Observation Haki crosses that barrier, it will be violently destroyed by a powerful force and eventually dissipate into nothingness.

Even if he tried his best, it was to no avail.

"Damn it, what kind of ability is this?!"

Redfield was horrified when his first attempt to understand human nature failed.

He had only tested the waters before, but now he was going all out, yet it still had no effect whatsoever.

Redfield felt a little panicked for the first time when his proud abilities seemed meaningless in front of Reno.

Seeing Redfield's rapidly changing expression, Renault couldn't suppress the slight upturn of his lips.

Truly worthy of being called the "Kill by Observation" technique!!

Any application of Observation Haki was completely suppressed!

This is enough to demonstrate just how powerful Shanks is!

"I know you want this Devil Fruit, can we talk properly now?!"

Renault sheathed the Sea Slash, his voice softening.

With a conflicted expression, Redfield reluctantly put away the umbrella sword.

Since the opponent was able to suppress his Observation Haki, he could not possibly be weak.

Of course, it's absolutely impossible for him to join Reno's pirate crew.

But he was unwilling to give up such an overpowered Devil Fruit.

“Redfield, I know your story and your past. Because you were born with Observation Haki, which allows you to read people’s minds, the ugliness and evil you encountered in your childhood planted deep seeds in your heart.”

"That's why you're so eccentric and withdrawn today."

"But I believe that over the years, you must have met kind and genuine people!"

"It's just that you've closed yourself off emotionally, which is why you're unwilling to interact with them!"

"Those who are having a banquet on the island are my partners. Why don't you use your Observation Haki to sense their thoughts?"

"Let's see what they're really thinking!"

Redfield had already discovered the partner Renault mentioned.

only......

"Hehehehe... How ridiculous! You think what they see on the surface is what they really think?!"

"Innocent!"

"I've seen countless times where people are calling each other brothers one second and drawing their swords against each other the next!"

"Do you really think that the so-called partners you're talking about are the same as they appear to you?!"

"I'll tell you what they really think, just don't deny it then!"

Unconvinced, Redfield snorted and immediately used his Observation Haki to invade the minds of Lingling and the others.

After he had glimpsed the inner thoughts of Lingling and the others...

"Hey bro, want a hug?"

"Renault, be gentle?"

"Cultivation is too tiring, should I eat a little more?"

"How come our boss is so strong?!"

When will I be able to have a Devil Fruit?

"These dads can eat so much! I'm practically swung the spatula around like crazy!"

"..."

After he sensed what Lingling and the others were thinking, he fell silent.

Aren't these just everyday complaints?

Doesn't he have even a single truly evil thought?!

"How was it? Were you a little disappointed?!"

Renault looked at Redfield, whose expression was unpredictable, and said with a smile.

"So what? Just because it doesn't exist now doesn't mean it won't exist in the future!"
