Harem Voyage: Starting with Overturning Nami

The table was now laden with dishes, their aromas filling the air.

This was the most formal meal Caruman had prepared since boarding the ship.

The reason is simple: they are about to reach their last stop in the East China Sea—Roger Town.

After purchasing supplies from Loguetown, they will leave the East Blue and head to the Grand Line.

"Wow, the dishes today are so plentiful!" Kaya said, swallowing unconsciously as she held her knife and fork.

"The reputation of the East Sea cook is truly well-deserved." The aroma that filled her nostrils made Nami's delicate nose twitch.

With Carmen, a professional chef, there's never a meal that's the same every day.

Nochi, who was wearing high heels, admitted defeat and conceded defeat.

Karumen naturally became the head chef of the Reno Pirates.

After everyone was seated, Caruman, dressed in a chef's uniform, pointed to the first dish:

"This is rainbow salmon sashimi."

"This is a Dukadin crab roe meat patty."

"This is Kaborah mantis shrimp tempura."

"This is a Longlichiana saury."

"..."

Carumen introduced them to everyone one by one as if they were his own treasures.

Everyone stared intently at the dishes in front of them, giving Karumen a thumbs-up repeatedly.

Even Renault gave it high praise.

Professional is different.

Each dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, whetting the appetite at first glance, not to mention the irresistible aroma that fills the nostrils.

The combined visual and olfactory impact is simply irresistible.

Seeing that everyone was practically drooling with envy, Caruman sped up his speech at the opportune moment.

"The last dish is my special coconut jelly, which has great benefits for the skin."

"Alright." Karumen clapped his hands. "The introduction of the dishes is finished. Now, please start eating."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd that had been waiting for so long could no longer contain themselves and picked up their knives and forks.

"Mmm, it's delicious. This is the best saury I've ever had."

"The crab roe meat patty tastes exactly the same as the one at Barradi Restaurant."

"The aroma is making me dizzy."

"..."

The women enjoyed the meal immensely, expressing their approval of the food.

"Indeed, she's excellent. It seems I've found a remarkable cook."

Renault felt his taste buds were immersed in an unprecedented enjoyment.

Caruman smiled knowingly, having received high praise from everyone, including Renault.

They then took their seats and began to enjoy the delicious meal together.

"We'll stock up on supplies when we get to Rogge Town."

As the meal drew to a close, Renault remarked.

Although the crew of the Merry was mostly female, they had to learn navigation techniques every day.

Everyone expends a lot of physical energy, which causes daily necessities to be used up quickly.

With Caruman's addition, the supplies purchased according to the previous quantity list could no longer support their long voyage.

"I want to buy a few dresses." Nami's interest was piqued at the mention of shopping.

“I’m also planning to buy a few medical books,” Kaya chimed in.

Nami started the conversation, and the women immediately launched into a chatterbox.

Renault shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

Do all girls in the world have a special fondness for shopping?!

He just wanted to replenish his daily necessities.

The women completely went off-topic.

Fine, I'll just buy whatever I want.

The most important thing is that the girls are happy.

Besides replenishing necessary supplies, Renault had another very important purpose for going to Rogge.

The last beauty to be captured in the East Blue—the Navy girl with glasses, Tashigi.

A silly and cute girl who loves collecting famous swords.

If nothing unexpected happens, she is currently at the Navy branch in Loguetown.

Renault once heard a saying in his previous life: all girls who wear glasses have a contrasting personality.

I just don't know if this statement is appropriate for the One Piece world.

Once Tashigi boards the ship, he will definitely verify it himself.

The East Blue Saga is about to end.

There are still three girls in this chapter that haven't been written about.

One is Apis from the Thousand-Year Dragon, and the other is Sweetheart Queen from Clockwork Island (this one is very beautiful).

Finally, there's Kuina.

The first two are less detailed and are theatrical versions, so people may not remember them well or feel a strong connection to them, so I won't write about them separately.

As for why Karumen was written about, the protagonist happened to go to Baratie to spar with Hawkeye, plus the story of Karumen and Sanji.

So they arranged for me to be included.

As for Kuina, since there are people who want to see it, all three of them will be patched up later, so don't worry.

Finally, I'd like to request some data. Thank you all for your support.

Chapter 31: A confident Smoker prepares to capture Reno! (Data requested)

Loguetown, also known as "the town of beginnings and ends".

Almost everyone who wants to go to the Grand Line will stop in Loguetown to replenish the various supplies needed for the voyage ahead.

Due to its advantageous location, and the fact that it is the birthplace and final resting place of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, Loguetown enjoys considerable fame in the East Blue and even throughout the world.

The town was extremely prosperous due to the large number of ships that docked there every day and the trade of merchants.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

While bringing wealth to Loguetown, it also becomes a gateway for many pirates and outlaws heading to the Grand Line.

In response to this situation, the Navy specially dispatched Captain Smoker, known as the "White Hunter," to be stationed here.

In the East Blue, where even Haki is not widespread and even Devil Fruits exist only in legends, there is no such thing as a true East Blue.

Smoker, the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit user, is a complete game-changer for pirates trying to take advantage of the chaos.

With Smoker as their anchor, the number of pirates who have fled from the East Blue to the Grand Line in recent years is pitifully small compared to the other three seas.

Renault docked the Merry at the port.

Smoker is a great threat to other pirates in the East Blue, but Reno, who possesses Haki, is also a much more powerful opponent for Smoker.

Therefore, he did not hide his whereabouts.

Not only that, he also plans to steal Tashigi, the girl with glasses.

After docking the Merry, Renault led the eager girls to the town.

The girls' only task from now on is to spend money.

On their way here, the girls had already made a list of the items they wanted to buy.

Nami wants to buy some of the latest fashions, pretty jewelry, cosmetics, and so on, and also see if there are any novel gadgets in the shops of this small town.

Kaya wanted to go to the bookstore to buy some new medical books; she had already finished reading the ones she brought from home.

Makino purchases various raw materials for brewing.

With the increase in the number of crew members, the consumption of alcoholic beverages is also enormous.

Norch and Carumen, on the other hand, purchased food and daily necessities needed for the upcoming voyage.

Renault wasn't stingy either; it's not easy for them to come all this way, and the girls are so excited.

He immediately and generously approved the loan for the women, giving each of them an additional 200,000 Berries on top of the original amount.

Buy whatever catches your eye.

After agreeing on a meeting point with the girls, the group entered this renowned town.

After they parted ways, Renault did not rush to find Tashigi.

Since we've come all this way, we should definitely take the time to appreciate the unique features of this place.

Leaving the location coordinates, Renault headed towards the street.

"As expected of Loguetown, it's really lively."

Renault walked down the street, where he saw all kinds of shops and heard vendors calling out their wares.

Everywhere we went, people's faces were beaming with smiles.

It must be said that although Smoker's strength is not that great, he has managed to govern Loguetown very well.

No pirate dared to act ostentatiously after learning that this area was under Smoker's jurisdiction.

After all, many of their predecessors have already set a bad example.

Renault strolled around casually, occasionally stopping at a small stall before continuing on his way.

Here, he saw many novel things that he hadn't seen in other towns.

Just as he was leaving a stall, he happened to brush past a naval soldier who had just come out of a shop.

Renault calmly walked past him. The naval soldier glanced at him subconsciously and was about to turn away.

But then he suddenly looked in the direction Renault had left, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

He was certain he hadn't misread it.

"Reno, the captain of the Reno Pirates?! He's here too?!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the naval soldiers did not hesitate and quickly returned to base.

He had to inform Colonel Smoker of this news as soon as possible.

With a bounty of 3000 Berries, he's already a great pirate in the East Blue.

Not to mention that Reno also has a navigator with a bounty of 5000 million Berries under his command.

Naval Base.

Inside a smoke-filled office.

Smoker was working as usual.

To manage this chaotic town effectively, he had a lot of work to do every day, and the files on his desk were piled up like a small mountain.

"Report!" a soldier's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Come in," Smoker replied.

The soldier pushed open the door and entered. He was already used to secondhand smoke, and walking into the smoke-filled office had no effect on him whatsoever.

"What is it?!" Smoker asked without looking up.

"Colonel Smoker, your men have spotted Reno, the captain of the Reno Pirates. He is currently in Loguetown."
