"This little guy's ability is really freakish!"
"It's more than freakish, it's monstrous! With this kind of ability, if he becomes a pirate in the future, he'll probably be another Gold Lion!"
"This little guy is freakish not only because of his ability but also because of his monstrous talent. Did everyone feel it last night?"
"Indeed, he awakened his Observation Haki at five years old. This talent can only be described as monstrous. When we were five, we were still wearing diapers!"
The crew looked at the ship soaring into the sky and the surrounding scenery moving backward. They then looked at the small figure surrounded by green energy, their faces filled with shock and amazement.
"Boom—rumble!!"
Reno controlled the ship and, after a while, charged toward the waterfall, landing the ship back into the sea. When the ship landed, it kicked up a large splash of seawater.
"Ouch... ouch!!"
"Bang... bang... bang..."
The crew was thrown around, with only a few stronger individuals able to stay on their feet, while most were knocked down to the ground.
Marko saw this and, with a darkened face, directly asked, "Little brat, can't you land a bit more gently?"
Reno heard Marko's question, gave him a disdainful glance, and retorted confidently, "Pineapple-head, you're a bird who can't even control a ship. What right do you have to criticize me, a great hero?"
"And I'm just a five-year-old kid who ate a Devil Fruit only a month ago. What do you expect from me in terms of controlling my abilities?"
Marko heard Reno's words and rolled his eyes furiously. If I couldn't even catch you, and you look so relaxed, I'd probably believe your nonsense too!
Thinking about this, Marko looked at Reno suspiciously and asked, "Little brat, I feel like you're trying to get back at these guys."
Reno was indeed deliberately retaliating against these people because when they were watching the show, they not only mocked Marko, but whenever Reno made a fool of himself, they would also mock him mercilessly.
Although Reno thought this in his heart, he certainly wouldn't admit to it—after all, he was a good, obedient child!
Reno, not caring about the situation, immediately put on an innocent expression and retorted, "I have no deep hatred with them. Why would I take revenge on them?"
After a brief pause, Reno gave a look of sudden realization and said, "Ah, so this is a scheme to sow discord! Pineapple-head, I didn't expect you to be such a person!"
"I'm just a five-year-old kid, and you're using these tricks on me? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
"You... I... you little brat!"
As Reno spoke, he also showed a pitiful expression, causing Marko to turn pale, unable to say a single complete sentence.
"Turns out Captain Marko is this kind of person?!"
"Captain Marko is actually a scheming jerk?!"
"I thought I respected him, but turns out he's this manipulative. We were all deceived by his appearance!"
The crew looked at Marko with a disapproving expression and began to gossip.
Although they were whispering, their voices were loud enough for everyone on the deck to hear. Almost everyone was doing this on purpose, just to watch Marko make a fool of himself.
"You bastards, do you really believe this nonsense?"
Hearing the crew's discussions, Marko's face turned bright red with anger, and he began cursing loudly.
The crew, hearing Marko's words, still had the same attitude: We believe him, not you. So what are you going to do about it?
Reno, seeing that the crew was bickering with Marko, stopped paying attention to them. He walked over to Whitebeard and said, "Uncle Whitebeard, I think I'll go ahead and scout the situation in Wano. After all, if we all go there, it will be too much of a target, and it might lead to undesirable consequences!"
Reno thought about how Kaido had taken hostages to threaten Oden Kozuki, so he made this decision. If Whitebeard went directly, he feared Kaido might act rashly, which would complicate things and make Reno the one causing problems.
That's why he decided to go first to scout the situation. If he could save people in advance, that would be even better. After all, he had the ability to travel using spatial coordinates. If he wanted to leave, no one could stop him. His safety was guaranteed.
Whitebeard, hearing Reno's words, asked in confusion, "Why not just go there, drive the enemies away, or kill them directly?"
Reno patiently explained, "Although I'm not sure what the current situation in Wano is, the enemies still have hostages. They've been there for quite a while, and that's why the big guy was killed by them."
Whitebeard, after listening to Reno's explanation, fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "You can go check it out, but don't engage with the enemies until I arrive. Your speed is good, but your strength isn't quite there yet!"
Reno, hearing Whitebeard's agreement, immediately smiled and reassured, "I'm such a coward, how could I risk my life? If I can beat them, I'll fight; if I can't, I'll run. I understand that logic!"
After saying this, Reno began to float up slowly. As he ascended into the sky, he shouted to Whitebeard, "I'm heading to Wano now, Uncle Whitebeard. If anything goes wrong, you better come save me!"
With that, Reno increased his speed and in the blink of an eye, disappeared into the distance.
Whitebeard, thinking about Reno's parting words, couldn't help but shake his head and think: If you're so afraid of dying, why go take such a risk?
Marko, seeing Reno suddenly fly off, immediately ran to Whitebeard and asked, "Dad, why did that little brat suddenly fly off?"
Whitebeard, hearing Marko's question, snapped out of his thoughts and explained, "The situation in Wano is unclear. He came to me and said he wanted to scout. I agreed, and then he left."
Marko, hearing Whitebeard's explanation, immediately became anxious and asked, "Dad... Isn't it too dangerous for him to go alone? Should I chase after him now?"
Whitebeard glanced at him with disdain and asked, "Let's not talk about whether you can catch him. If he really wants to run, even I can't stop him. Why are you so worried?"
Marko, hearing Whitebeard's words, showed a puzzled expression, silently thinking: Dad, don't you know? You don't hit people's faces, and you don't expose their weaknesses.
