That night.
Reyno and Tashigi's study session was very brief, lasting only two hours.
Of course, this was mainly Reyno taking Tashigi's feelings into consideration.
It's worth mentioning that Reyno originally thought Tashigi was just a novice in technique, but he didn't expect her to be a true novice.
Among The girls he had taken in, Tashigi was truly unique.
The novelty was directly maxed out.
After considerately tucking Tashigi into bed, Reyno left the room.
"Claim reward."
"Congratulations, Host, you have received 120 haki fruits."
"120?!"
Reyno really couldn't hold back this time.
He then looked at the system's explanation.
Among the 120 haki fruits, there are 50 observation haki fruits, 50 armament haki fruits, and 20 conqueror's haki fruits.
Eating different types of haki fruits will awaken the corresponding Haki.
If the user has already awakened Haki, repeated consumption can enhance Haki strength, but the effect is not optimal.
All Devil Fruits produced by the system have had all side effects removed and can be consumed safely.
Reyno understood.
As expected of the Beauty Subjugation System, this reward was clearly for strengthening The girls' power.
Among the beautiful women appearing in the Pirate storyline, only a few have fighting power; the vast majority are non-combatants.
Even fewer possess Haki.
But with these haki fruits, they can skip the training time and all awaken Haki.
Are you afraid or not?!
Even if it's just the lowest level, they at least have a certain degree of self-preservation.
Especially for girls like Kaya and Makino, who have no combat ability.
Although Reyno would protect them, as the saying goes, it's better to have it yourself than to rely on others.
Reyno stroked his chin, carefully recalling all the beautiful women in the Four Seas, the Grand Line, and the New World.
There were about 50 of them, and nearly a fifth of them had already mastered Haki.
The number of observation haki fruits and armament haki fruits was completely sufficient.
As for the candidates for the conqueror's haki fruit, careful consideration was needed.
First, they must be combatants.
Nami was very suitable.
What?!
Nami doesn't have a king's temperament, so she can't unleash the true power of Conqueror's Haki?!
During a battle, Reyno just needs to shout that the opponent will steal all her money, leaving her nothing.
And they will even dig up her tangerine trees.
Nami will undoubtedly surge in power and sweep the entire field.
Hearing these words, if you, as Nami's enemy, don't run, Nami considers you ↑.
If you run away, Nami is ↓. (Cannot make gestures)
Reyno contentedly put away all the haki fruits.
Tomorrow, he would give The girls a small surprise.
He had come to realize that as long as it was a surprise, big or small, The girls would be happy for several days.
The next day, after breakfast.
Reyno took out twelve haki fruits with spiral patterns and placed them on the dining table.
Six white, six black.
The white ones were observation haki fruits, and the black ones were armament haki fruits.
"Devil Fruits?!"
Nami, Kaya, Nojiko, Tashigi, Carmen, and Makino, the six girls, all looked over in surprise.
They were no longer the novices they once were; they recognized these as Devil Fruits at a glance.
Although the colors and appearances were not identical, these spiral patterns were unique.
Ordinary fruits don't have them.
"So many Devil Fruits?! Captain, where did you get them from?!" Makino leaned closer, her face filled with confusion.
For ordinary people, obtaining even one secret treasure like a Devil Fruit was considered a gift from the sea.
Most people never see a Devil Fruit in their lifetime.
The concept of Devil Fruits only existed in legends for them.
Reyno actually brought out twelve at once?!
Did he have another identity, a Devil Fruit wholesaler?!
"But why are their colors all the same?!" Kaya, noticing something, said softly.
Didn't they say that every Devil Fruit was unique?!
Reyno smiled and stroked Kaya's forehead, explaining, "Do you remember the three types of Haki I taught you about?!"
"These Devil Fruits are all haki fruits. Eat a white one, and you'll awaken Observation Haki; eat a black one, and you'll awaken Armament Haki."
"And," Reyno looked at Nami and Kaya, emphasizing, "you two can also eat them; there will be no side effects."
Kaya and Nami immediately showed joy.
Since Reyno said they could eat them, then they definitely could.
"Are these really for us?!" Tashigi, who had just become a human—pointed to herself with her delicate hand.
Oh my, what kind of Pirate Crew is this?
As soon as she arrived, Reyno gave her a great grade sword.
And now, just a few days later, he's giving her two Devil Fruits.
Is this... is this what it feels like to be cherished?!
Tashigi's head felt dizzy again.
"Of course they're for you. After all, you're all my women now, and everyone gets one." Reyno proudly raised an eyebrow.
The girls blushed shyly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nami pounced, "I want one!!"
"I want one too!!"
"Save two for me!"
"..."
The girls had long been envious of Reyno's Haki abilities.
The powerful perception of Observation Haki and the steel-like defense of Armament Haki.
"So sweet."
"So delicious."
With one bite, The girls' eyes immediately lit up.
"Aren't Devil Fruits supposed to be really unpalatable?!" Tashigi asked, looking puzzled as she ate the fruit.
Smoker had told her that before, but what Reyno said was completely different.
Not only were Devil Fruits not unpalatable, but they also broke the rule of not being able to eat two.
The Captain is still the best.
