Reno took out Wado Ichimonji and handed it to Tashigi: "This sword is for you."
"From now on, you must supervise me closely. If I do anything wrong, you must correct me in time."
Tashigi looked at the Wado Ichimonji in her hand, flattered.
"This is a great grade sword. Do you really want to give it to me?!"
In the One Piece World, the twelve Supreme great grade swords were the rarest.
Below that were the great grade swords.
Upon their first meeting, Reno gave her a great grade sword.
It truly threw her off.
Reno stroked Tashigi's forehead, dotingly saying, "Join my Pirate Crew, and we'll be family. It's just a great grade sword; I'll give you even better ones later."
This wasn't an empty promise.
Because he knew where there were even better quality swords.
For Tashigi, who loved collecting famous swords, she truly couldn't put down the Wado Ichimonji.
Its quality was far superior to her current good grade sword, Kashu.
Why did she suddenly feel cherished?
Reno... seemed different from other Pirates she had met.
Could it be that her joining truly caused Reno to change?
Tashigi felt dizzy, unable to react for a moment.
"Then... then I'll accept it," Tashigi said, head bowed, her voice as faint as a mosquito.
Reno smiled and nodded.
Although he was playing to her interests, Tashigi indeed needed a better personal sword.
He had already decided to train Tashigi to become the Reno Pirate Crew's great swordswoman.
Kashu was not up to par.
"Don't worry, I will definitely guide you onto the path of justice," Tashigi said, putting away the Wado Ichimonji, looking at Reno with a serious tone.
Reno subconsciously smiled.
"I believe you."
"Come, I'll introduce you to the other girls... the other crew members first."
Reno took Tashigi's hand and walked out of the room.
After a simple round of introductions, Tashigi was very surprised.
How was this Pirate Crew different from all the other Pirate Crews she had seen?
Especially the crew's composition.
Aside from Reno, all the crew members were beautiful girls.
Reno suppressed a smile, remaining silent.
Just stay with this Pirate Crew; in a few days, you won't want to leave.
A few days passed quickly.
Flying in the air, the biggest advantage was safety.
With Nami, the genius navigator's foresight, many natural risks could be avoided in advance.
Most importantly, they wouldn't encounter others looking for trouble.
After all, besides him, the only one who could fly in the sky was Golden Lion Shiki.
During these few days, Reno didn't rush to teach Tashigi.
After all, the innocent girl's emotions had just stabilized; forcing her to study would be counterproductive.
There was plenty of time.
However, after a few days of getting along, Tashigi gained a deeper understanding of Nami and the others.
Kaya had the ability to heal all injuries.
Nami was a genius navigator, training daily and developing her Weather-Weather Fruit.
The wine Makino made was the best she had ever tasted.
Carmen's Culinary Arts were the best she had ever seen in her life; every meal conquered her taste buds.
It seemed only Nojiko was relatively ordinary, diligently tending to the orange trees on the deck every day.
What surprised her most was that so many beautiful women on the same ship got along extremely harmoniously.
They laughed and chatted every day, always able to strike up a conversation.
In this harmonious environment, Tashigi's uneasy heart slowly calmed down, and she gradually adapted to life here.
Only one thing...
Every time Reno finished his cultivation, he would flirt with one of the girls.
For example.
Nami was watering the tangerine trees when Reyno, passing by, naturally reached out and patted her bottom.
Kaya was diligently reading a medical book when Reyno, appearing from nowhere, kissed her cheek.
She had witnessed similar situations dozens of times in just a few short days.
But The girls seemed to be used to it.
Except for Nami, who would always stomp her feet in anger, the other girls would smile and enthusiastically reciprocate.
Carmen would even actively approach him, seeking affection.
This completely bewildered Tashigi.
If she could accept all that, what truly broke her was...
The going merry really wasn't soundproof!!!
Even with earplugs and her head buried under the covers.
The sounds would still rhythmically seep into her ears.
She couldn't help but hear them.
Although Tashigi was still inexperienced, she wasn't completely ignorant of certain matters.
With those monotonous sounds, she could guess what the two were doing.
And it lasted for so long.
When she was in the Marine, she had inadvertently overheard others discussing such risqué topics.
She remembered a Marine proudly boasting about an undefeated record of forty minutes.
This made the other soldiers incredibly envious.
But Reyno... seemed to start by the hour.
Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?!
Recalling Reyno's actions, could that be the little romantic fun between a man and a woman?!
Tashigi was at a loss, always lowering her head whenever she saw Reyno, not daring to meet his gaze.
"Is this the crew members' duty?! I'm not going to have to..." Tashigi clasped her hands together.
This was the question that had been bothering her for the past few days.
She had promised Reyno to correct him before he made a mistake, but after thinking it through, wasn't this aspect just human nature?!
Unless there was something physically abnormal.
But if Reyno really wanted to... what should she do?!
Tashigi was lost again.
At the dining table.
"Tashigi, leave your door unlocked tonight; I'll come over and teach you some navigation knowledge," Reyno suddenly said.
"Ah?! Okay." Tashigi, still preoccupied with certain thoughts, nodded subconsciously.
Nami and the other girls looked at Tashigi with strange expressions.
What a silly and adorable girl, agreeing so readily, not knowing what she would experience tonight.
The girls exchanged a knowing glance and all lowered their heads, secretly chuckling.
The laughter brought Tashigi back to her senses, her dark eyes filled with confusion: "What are you all laughing about?!"
Carmen looked at Tashigi, somewhat speechless, "My dear sister, don't you hear the sounds at night?!"
"That's the Captain teaching us knowledge."
"What?!" Tashigi exclaimed, her fork and knife clattering to the floor.
Her small face turned as red as an apple.
Was this teaching legitimate?!
The girls suddenly realized: So they all understood; that makes it easier.
"I-I-I understand, Captain."
Tashigi lowered her head and responded, finishing her dinner with difficulty amidst The girls' laughter.
