Waves were rolling on the sea. The small sailboat rose and fell with the waves.
Watching those pirates and their boats being swallowed up by the terrifying flames in an instant, Carina couldn't help but open her mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
Her face was full of shock, and she was sweating a little.
But the next moment, Ren's huge beastly body began to shrink. He directly transformed into his human form and landed steadily on the deck.
"Eh?" Looking at the young and handsome tall man in front of her, Carina couldn't help but widen her eyes and lost her voice in shock: "You... you are a human?"
Her eyes were full of curiosity. At the same time, with indescribable vigilance, subconsciously she took a few steps back, keeping her distance.
"If I'm not a human, what can I be? A ghost!?" Ren crossed his arms and chuckled.
He looked at the female thief in front of him who was wearing a black felt hat, had purple hair, was dressed beautifully and had a proud figure.
He has recognized the other party's identity. 'Phantom Thief' Carina!
A woman with a flexible mind and superb stealing skills. Her beauty and intelligence were no less than those of Nami.
Like Nami, she was also born in East Blue and was a very smart thief. She started wandering around the sea when she was very young, specializing in stealing the belongings of pirates, nobles, and wealthy businessmen.
It is said that she had some interactions with Nami. In the future, she will be even more bold. Eyeing the treasure of the Golden Emperor Tesoro.
With her own wisdom and strategy, under the eyes of the Marine fleet and the Straw Hat Pirates, she robbed a large amount of gold collected by the "Golden Emperor" Gild Tesoro.
No wonder she has such excellent navigation skills.
"Are you... a devil fruit ability user?" Carina was not stupid. It didn't take her long to figure it out. The person in front of her must be some kind of special Devil Fruit user.
Moreover, she always felt that this person was vaguely familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Devil Fruit is divided into Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan, although Logia is recognized as the strongest..."
Ren shrugged and said nonchalantly: "But strictly speaking, Zoan is no worse than Logia. It also has rare ancient species, as well as Mythical Zoans that are considered rarer than Logia!"
"Ancient species? Mythical Zoans?" Hear the words, Carina blinked. Full of surprise, she really didn't know that there was such a difference in Zoan's abilities.
"As the name suggests, the so-called Ancient Zoans are animals that existed in ancient times..." Ren smiled and did not hesitate to explain: "The Mythical Zoans are more complicated. They are generally creatures or characters that only exist in myths or legends and are made up by people!" When he recognized the other party, he had already made up his mind.
He wanted to recruit this intelligent and quirky vixen under his command. After all, she was in need of an excellent navigator. It is impossible for him to be alone all the time. To dominate this sea requires not only personal strength, but also a powerful enough force.
Before actually starting his plan. He needs to build his own crew first.
"So that's it..." Carina suddenly realized: "Then you are the user of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, right?" Feeling that the other person has no ill intentions. She lowered her guard slightly and began to seriously look at the handsome and powerful man in front of her.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Hirotaka Ren, from East Blue, but born in South Blue... I am a user of Mythical Zoan, Horse-Horse Fruit, Model: Qilin!" The person introduced himself politely with a smile on his face.
"Hirotaka Ren? Are you from East Blue too?" Carina was surprised.
"To be precise, I grew up in East Blue for some reasons, but my birthplace is South Blue!" Ren added simply.
"Wait, Hirotaka Ren...I remembered..." Looking at Ren, she always feel inexplicably familiar. Carina tilted her head, as if something suddenly occurred to her.
She hurriedly took out a stack of wanted posters from his pocket and started rummaging through them.
Finally, a bounty poster was taken out. The photo published above was exactly the same as the person in front of her.
"You are the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the 'Blood Demon' Hirotaka Ren with a bounty of 200 Million Berries?" Her eyes widened. She looked at Ren in surprise and compared it with the newly released reward list again and again.
Carina never expected that she would meet the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates here.
"The vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates?" Looking at the bounty poster, his reward had become 200 million berries, Ren couldn't help but chuckle: "That's a thing of the past!"
"Just a few days ago, I quit the Straw Hat Pirates!" The reason why Ren was able to come from behind and become the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Mainly when he first got on board. He once made a bet with Zoro and Sanji, the two strongest men in the Straw Hat Crew besides Luffy, the captain.
Witnessed by Captain Luffy, everyone lets their fists speak, and the winner is the vice-captain. The result is of course needless to say.
Even if he didn't use the Lunarian tribe's innate abilities to bully rookies like them who haven't grown up yet, Ren, who had already awakened Observation Haki and whose swordsmanship was even more powerful than Zoro's, easily won without any suspense and became the vice-captain.
In Alabasta, after killing Crocodile. Originally, him as the vice captain received the same bounty as the captain Luffy, which was 100 Million Berries.
And this 200 Million Berries, it should be because the Straw Hat Pirates left the Sky Island at an altitude of 10,000 meters on the Going Merry and happened to land on the G-8 branch of the Marines.
He made a big fuss there and killed many Marines, causing considerable losses to the Naval Headquarters. This is also one of the reasons why he had differences with other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the conflicts gradually increased.
A killing spree in the G-8 branch. He did want to vent some personal grudges. After all, to these lackeys of the world government, it is natural that Ren, a remnant of the Lunarian tribe, would not have any favorable impressions.
The World Government has issued a long-term bounty. Anyone who discovers the whereabouts of any Lunarian can receive a huge bounty of hundreds of millions of Berries just by reporting it.
It is conceivable that once his identity is truly exposed. It will inevitably lead to huge turmoil, countless troubles will follow, and there will be no peace.
By then, he may even face a situation where everyone is the enemy. Even unarmed and honest civilians on the roadside, and bounty hunters, pirates, etc., will become the eyes of the world government.
No matter where you go, you may be watched. There must be countless people who are trying to capture him at all costs and trying every possible means to murder him in order to collect the huge reward.
In this sea, there are all kinds of greedy people who are greedy for money and are obsessed with profit.
Otherwise, how could the Lunarian tribe, which claims to be able to survive in any harsh natural environment and is incredibly tenacious, be on the verge of extinction? The initiator of all this is the world government that firmly controls this sea!
In the past, the Lunarians were known as the Clan of Gods and lived on the Red Line.
It can be said that the Holy Land Mariejois, the highest power center of the world government, was once the hometown of the Lunarian tribe.
Not only were their homes taken away. Even the entire clan is wanted everywhere, hunted and persecuted.
The race has been nearly extinct for hundreds of years, and there are only a handful of surviving tribesmen across the entire sea.
Although Ren, as a hybrid between the Lunarian tribe and the mermaid tribe, lost his brown skin, and even his wings were plucked out by his father when he was just born.
As long as he doesn't use Lunarian clan's natural abilities in front of others, no one could identify him. There would be no need to worry too much.
But after all, he inherited the blood of the Lunarian clan. Even if we don't mention any righteousness, avenging his ancestors and seeking justice, just for the sake of his future descendants who may also inherit the Lunarian bloodline, they will be wanted and persecuted all over the world.
Sooner or later, Ren will have to settle this account with the World government and the Celestial Dragons who are its controllers.
From the beginning, he has been on the opposite side of world government. The two parties are destined to be eternal enemies.
