After everyone finished their self-introductions, Sanji sorted out his thoughts.
He hadn't expected the person who seemed the clumsiest on the entire pirate ship to actually be the Captain of this pirate ship.
It was truly beyond his expectations.
He had originally thought Reno was the Captain of this pirate ship.
Zoro was the Swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Nami was the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Although she hadn't officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates yet, this was already a foregone conclusion that no one could change.
Usopp was the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates.
As for Johnny and Joseph, they were just Zoro's two subordinates and not members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Reno, what position do you hold?"
Finally, Sanji looked at Reno.
"Me? I'm the first mate of the pirate ship, and also the Blacksmith of the pirate ship!"
"Blacksmith??"
"What kind of profession is that? Is it specifically for building pirate ships?"
Sanji repeated the question twice. In his impression, a Blacksmith seemed to be a profession like a shipwright, right?
"You're wrong, actually."
Reno smiled and shook his head, quickly correcting him.
"I don't build pirate ships; I create Mechanical Warriors."
As he spoke, Reno also glanced in Fire Thunder's direction.
Sanji's eyes immediately lit up.
He had witnessed Fire Thunder's brilliant performance yesterday.
It could actually fight Mihawk back and forth.
He had originally thought Fire Thunder was some special race.
He hadn't expected it to be created by Reno.
"Hehehe, Sanji, Reno is very powerful, you know."
Luffy said with a chuckle.
"That's right, the robots he creates are all very strong."
Usopp, deeply impressed, followed up.
Sanji immediately looked thoughtful.
He sized up Reno.
"Are you really that amazing?"
"Not bad. I'll create even more Mechanical Beasts/Mechas in the future."
"Fire Thunder's strength isn't the strongest; there are even a few that are several times stronger than it."
Reno also accepted the praise from everyone with a smile.
Several times stronger than Fire Thunder's strength?
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Fire Thunder could exchange a few blows with Mihawk; if there's something stronger than Fire Thunder...
0...begging for flowers...then its strength must be comparable to Mihawk's, right?
Having figured this out, everyone's gaze towards Reno changed.
So Reno was the hidden boss on the pirate ship all along.
"Alright, since all introductions are done, what do we need to do next?"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Reno felt a little uncomfortable.
He then changed the subject and said,
"Since we have a chef on board, of course, we're going to have a feast."
"That's right, a feast!!!"
Luffy immediately said impatiently.
And Usopp also chimed in from the side.
Of course, it wasn't just them.
Upon hearing about the feast, Nami, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes all lit up.
Having a feast was the happiest thing.
"A feast is certainly necessary, but we need to first determine our next sailing destination."
Reno stated the key point.
Their Pirate Crew was now somewhat established.
They needed a sailing goal; they couldn't just drift wherever they ended up.
