Harem Voyage: Starting with Overturning Nami

Until he saw Robin.

"Aokiji, are you just passing by or did you come here specifically to see us?!" Renault greeted him with a smile.

Despite their differing stances, he had a fairly good impression of Aokiji.

He was also one of the few navy personnel who made him feel good about them.

Aokiji was taken aback and looked at Renault with surprise.

Knowing his identity, yet he remained so calm.

Are all rookie pirates this brave these days?!

"Of course we're here to take you back, especially..." Aokiji's tone became lazy again, and he subconsciously looked at Robin.

Robin's pupils contracted, and his face turned pale.

If Aokiji were to capture her and hand her over to the World Government, her fate would be predictable.

"Aokiji..."

"Robin!!" Nami clenched her fists and instinctively stood in front of Robin, whispering, "Trust Reno, he will never let any crew member fall behind."

“That’s right, Sister Robin, we won’t let anyone take you away.” Kaya raised her determined little face.

She is no longer just a pretty face.

Robin was deeply moved that everyone was still protecting her even when facing a Marine Admiral.

Reno held Robin's hand and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, you'll both be alright."

"Nami, take them back to the spaceship first, I'll be there soon."

"Renault, I'll help you deal with him!!"

"And I!!"

"And us!!"

"..."

Nami refused and stood side by side with Reno, and the other girls followed suit, their dozen or so fair arms turning completely black.

Renault sighed inwardly, thinking that the pain hadn't been in vain.

Unfortunately, this time they are facing Aokiji, and the human wave tactic won't work.

Even Nami, the strongest among them, is still quite a bit weaker than Aokiji.

"Nami, take them back." Reno's tone became more forceful.

Nami bit her lower lip, gave Reno a complicated look, and the next second she didn't hesitate any longer. She summoned the island cloud and took the women up into the sky.

Aokiji did not stop them and let the women leave.

Reno chuckled lightly, "You never intended to capture Robin, did you?!"

Aokiji glanced at Robin on the island cloud and said expressionlessly, "As long as we capture you, that's enough. As for the others, they pose little threat."

They're still pretending.

A guy who's all talk and no action.

“I’ve been itching for a fight lately, so it wouldn’t hurt to spar with a Marine Admiral. How about we stop here?” Renault said with a smile, looking at Aokiji.

In fact, he could teleport away right now.

But simply running away is not the solution.

Upon arriving in the new world, in order to win over the beautiful women from the powerful factions, he must face opponents at the level of generals and emperors.

Only through repeated battles can one master all abilities.

He also wanted to know how he compared to the general.

The blue pheasant can serve as his touchstone.

Aokiji looked at Renault speechlessly.

Young man, you're full of youthful vigor and don't realize the true value of the rank of admiral.

Still only touching on the surface?!

I can take you down in one move.

"Renault, pay the price for your arrogance!!"

"ICE.SWORD!!!"

Countless streams of extremely cold air erupted from Aokiji's body, spreading rapidly in all directions like a hurricane.

The cold air spread, freezing the pirate ships one by one, turning them all into ice ships.

Aokiji crossed his arms and looked at Renault with a leisurely air.

Since he became a Marine Admiral, he has captured at least a dozen pirates like Reno.

He has some strength to defeat Crocodile, but it's not enough.

"The power of the Ice-Ice Fruit?!" Reno frowned slightly as he felt the temperature in the space dropping rapidly.

As expected of a naval admiral, a single, seemingly casual move resulted in a large-scale area-of-effect attack.

but

Rumble

Um? ! !

Just when Aokiji thought Renault would be frozen into an ice sculpture, his expression suddenly changed.

Before his incredulous eyes, streaks of silvery-white electricity coiled around Renault's body, pulsating wildly.

“Thunder?!!”

Aokiji rubbed his forehead with one hand, looking troubled, and said, "The Navy still doesn't have enough information about you."

Just a second ago, he thought Reno was a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit.

The power of clouds and the power of thunder are worlds apart.

“It’s not too late to know now.” Renault grinned at Aokiji.

"Looks like I'll have to get serious, hockey!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, five long ice pillars shot out from Aokiji's palms at lightning speed, attacking Renault.

Wherever it went, the air along the way was frozen.

“Lightning strike!!”

Renault slammed his palm down, and the silver-white lightning, guided by his Observation Haki, struck the incoming ice pillar with unparalleled precision.

The ice pillars shattered one after another, creating powerful shockwaves that sent large amounts of ice fragments crashing to the ground.

"Hahahaha... My turn!!"

Renault laughed loudly, compressing the lightning around him to its limit while simultaneously amplifying it with Armament Haki, condensing it into an extremely high-density pillar of lightning in front of his chest.

"Aokiji, try this! Divine Lightning Bolt!!"

boom! ! !

A dazzling beam of light, so bright it dimmed the very heavens and earth, shot toward Aokiji at incredible speed, carrying with it the power of destruction.

"Huh?!!" Aokiji was finally moved, and his Observation Haki frantically issued a warning.

Danger! !

"Frozen Pheasant Beak!!!"

Aokiji reacted extremely quickly. As the beam of lightning shot towards him, the cold air on his chest condensed rapidly and was then violently flung away.

A giant ice bird took flight, roaring as it charged toward the pillar of lightning, leaving a frozen trail in the air.

The next instant, the two intersected in mid-air, engulfing each other.

boom! !

Roar! ! !

A violent explosion resounded through the sky, and lightning raged against the ice bird.

The ice bird, not to be outdone, frantically devoured the lightning.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the pillar of lightning and the giant ice bird's attack canceled each other out and then both dissipated.

Renault remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was sighing.

His thunderous power is a natural counter to ice, and he has developed it to a high level. His lightning divine light is one of his signature moves, so normally there shouldn't be a situation where they are evenly matched.

The only explanation is that his current level of domineering aura is too low. Although it has reached the intermediate level, it is still slightly inferior to Aokiji, who has been immersed in it for decades.

Teacher Kai's wise words came to mind once again.

It seems that only by mastering the internal destruction of Armament Haki and the dominance of Conqueror's Haki can one pose a threat to a top-tier powerhouse like Aokiji.

For a moment, Renault was somewhat displeased.

Despite possessing multiple abilities, in the end, one must rely on domineering power as the foundation.

"Hmm?!!" Sensing the rapidly receding fighting spirit emanating from Renault, Aokiji frowned slightly.

He hasn't even finished warming up, and he's already giving up?!

"Renault, are you planning to surrender?!" Aokiji walked towards Renault with his hands hanging naturally at his sides.

Renault chuckled lightly, then shook his head listlessly. "Aokiji, if I want to leave, you can't stop me."

"Furthermore," Renault paused, looking intently at Aokiji, and said, enunciating each word clearly, "we are not enemies."

"gone!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Renault vanished without warning.

Um? ! !

Aokiji looked up at the sky. The spaceship traced a parabola in the air and disappeared into the horizon with a whoosh.

"Ah, it seems the mission failed."

Aokiji scratched his head awkwardly. To leave so easily was incredibly disrespectful to a naval admiral like him.

Recalling Renault's speed just now, he frowned again.

The burst of speed at that moment was even faster than Kizaru, who possesses the Glint-Glint Fruit; it was truly outrageous.

Are newcomers these days really that valuable?!

"I'm going to get scolded again," Aokiji reluctantly took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed Sengoku's number.

Naval Headquarters, conference room.

"What did you say?? Renault got away?!" Sengoku's face darkened immediately upon hearing Aokiji's report.

He was already planning to celebrate Aokiji's victory, but then he was told that Renault had run away?!

"A naval admiral let Reno escape, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Sengoku was furious.

The Den Den Mushi shrugged, vividly portraying Aokiji's innocent expression, "Marshal, please listen to me..."

Immediately afterwards, Aokiji told Reno about all the abilities he had displayed in the battle just now.

"Lightning power, its instantaneous burst speed is even faster than Kizaru's?!" Sengoku was shocked.

As a Marine Admiral, Aokiji certainly wouldn't lie.

In other words, all the information they had about Renault was wrong?!

Sengoku rubbed his temples in frustration. What the hell is the intelligence department doing?!

"So that's how it is." Many vice admirals suddenly realized.

They found it strange at first that a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit could possibly kill Crocodile.
