Chapter 17: You Are Going To Join The Beasts Pirates?

"Um…"

In the morning the next day, the sun shines brightly.

Carina woke up from her drowsy state.

Covering her slightly groggy head, she was surprised to find that she was in a cave.

Then, she checks the surrounding area for her treasures before subconsciously walking out.

"Ren..."

Looking at the figure who was sweating profusely while training under the sun, Carina's eyes couldn't help but light up.

At the same time, she was a little surprised.

The other party worked so hard.

No wonder he already has such amazing strength despite being one year younger than her.

"Carina, you wake up..."

"Yesterday, I seemed to be in a trance and fainted for no reason after you went crazy..." Carina looked at Ren with some concern: "Ren, are you okay?"

Yesterday, she could still remember the other party's painful and crazy look.

She really felt a little frightened and uneasy, fearing that the other party would really go berserk like that again.

"Don't worry, the power of the gilded horns has been perfectly integrated with my Qilin fruit..."

Ren stopped training, touched Carina's head, and said with a smile: "Also, I'm sorry, you were actually knocked unconscious by my Conqueror's Haki I released yesterday!"

"But when I saw you sleeping so soundly, I didn't wake you up!"

"That's good..."

After hearing Ren say this, Carina immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at Ren in disbelief: "Wait a minute, was that the Conqueror's Haki you mentioned yesterday? It actually knocked me out from such a long distance..."

Previously, when Ren was introducing her to the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates.

He also explained the Haki to her, mainly mentioning Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

It is said that Armament Haki is the only force that can harm the Logia Devil Fruit user.

Meanwhile, the Observation Haki can predict enemy attacks like a prophet and briefly foresee the future.

Conqueror's Haki, on the other hand, is an innate power.

It is said that it only appears in one in a million and symbolizes the qualifications of a king.

"That's amazing... Ren, you actually have such qualifications!"

Carina looked at Ren before her with shining eyes, feeling slightly amazed.

That kind of indescribable power is really amazing.

Her previous choice to join the other party was indeed correct.

Looking at Ren's perfect figure, Carina wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Not to mention, this guy is really handsome!

However, she was a little surprised.

Ren actually has a wing-shaped black tattoo on his back.

A bit peculiar.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now..."

Ren simply smiled, then he pinched Carina's cheeks and asked: "Are you hungry? Go wash up first, and I'll prepare breakfast..."

"After filling our stomachs, we will set off again!"

"Don't pinch my face. I'm not a child..."

Carina wrinkled her nose, and then she slapped Ren's paw away in dissatisfaction.

At the same time, she curiously asked Ren: "Then, where are we going next?"

"If I told you that I was going to join the Beasts Pirates, would you still be willing to follow me?" Ren looked at Carina and asked with a smile.

After eating the Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Qilin, and having the goal to replace Kaido as the new strongest creature in the land, sea, and air.

He had a bold idea and made some adjustments to his original plan.

It would be too slow to build a force from scratch.

No matter what, it is unlikely that he will directly surpass those big pirates who are entrenched in the New World in a short period of time.

They have been operating and developing for decades and have strong military strength and huge power.

Not to mention facing a behemoth like the World Government, which has firmly ruled the entire sea for eight hundred years and whose background is unfathomable.

Therefore, he is not going to continue wandering around the first half of the Grand Line.

Instead, he planned to go directly to the New World after finding a few reliable companions with decent potential.

Then... he will join the Beasts Pirates!

First, lean on the big tree of Beasts Pirates and let Kaido attract the outside world's attention.

Then, he will slowly borrow the shell to lay eggs while swallowing the Beasts Pirates and secretly developing his own power.

At the same time, he can also avoid the suppression of the world government and other emperors of the sea.

He quickly needs to accumulate strength and grow up.

After all, without the support of powerful strength, no matter how huge his force is, it's just a castle in the air.

But if you only have powerful strength and don't have huge forces.

Even if he finds the legendary treasure and stands out from the competition of countless pirates.

He will just be the second Gol D. Roger.

In addition to getting the title of Pirate King, he actually got nothing.

As a result, Gol D. Roger was touted by countless people as the Pirate King who combined strength, wealth, and prestige. But in the end, he couldn't even protect his wife and children.

It's actually a bit ridiculous.

Unlike Luffy, who naively thinks that the Pirate King is the freest person on the sea, he has always been more pragmatic.

Thrilling adventures are still a must.

But he doesn't want to be a pirate king.

What he wants to be is the true King of this world!

"Eh? Join the Beasts Pirates?"

Hearing this, Carina was inexplicably shocked: "Isn't that one of the emperors of the sea pirate group?"

She is good at gathering information, although before meeting Ren, she didn't know how powerful the real strong people in this sea were.

But she already has a general understanding of the intricate forces of the Grand Line.

Beasts Pirates is one of the most notorious forces in the New World.

Not even the Marine Headquarters can defeat them easily.

Its captain, Kaido, the beast, is known as the strongest creature on land, sea, and air.

In particular, Ren once admitted that he was still far away from the real monsters.

Just through Ren, she could imagine how terrifying the Four Emperors who ruled the New World were.

"It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree!"

Ren said with a smile.

The look in his eyes was somewhat meaningful.

"Gulu..."

She has been on the sea since she was a child. So, Carina is not the kind of innocent girl who doesn't understand the world.

A man like Ren, who is full of energy and also has the qualifications to be a king.

If he really joins the Beasts Pirates, he won't be able to stay on his own terms and be subordinate to others.

Carina couldn't help but swallow her saliva and raised her little head while speaking in a timid voice: "Can I still quit?"

"Of course... you can't!"

Ren chuckled.

He stroked Carina's head and rubbed her somewhat messy purple hair.

His tone was unprecedentedly serious, and he said with a firm smile: "Don't worry, I will protect you!"

The piercing eyes that met Carina's eyes seemed to contain some kind of convincing power.

Deep in her heart, she couldn't help but be inexplicably touched.

Carina has always been cautious and was never willing to trust others easily.

For the first time, she subconsciously chose to believe the other party a little bit.

"Then I'll leave my little life to you..." Carina cried sadly.

It's over; she got on a pirate ship by mistake.
