As the time went by, the Aqua Laguna continued to approach. On the sea near Water 7, the wind and waves were getting bigger and bigger.

The sky darkened, and it began to rain lightly. Inside Tom's studio, looking at the pouring rain outside, Ren looked at the Straw Hat Crew who were shocked because Merry had a ship spirit.

Those familiar faces made him subconsciously recall every detail of the exciting adventures he had experienced along the way.

"As a former companion..." He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I will finally say something from my heart and give you some advice! I hope you can restrain your excessive kindness! After all, along the way, you should also know what most pirates are like..."

He looked at Luffy, Zoro, Nami and others and said bluntly: "Those pirates who are unscrupulous in their revenge. Those guys who escaped due to your innocence and kindness, do you think they will really be grateful, change their ways and be kind-hearted? Won't he come to take revenge after you leave?"

"Ren, we are different from you!" Luffy pressed the straw hat. He looked firmly at Ren, and said loudly: "What we pursue is free adventure, and we will never be like you who has no bottom line and relies on his strength to kill at will!"

"He's right, we will never become cold-blooded murderers like you, Ren..." Sanji couldn't help but echoed. Regarding Ren's crooked theory of "If I don't kill him, he will kill me", he couldn't agree with it at all.

"Well, I'm relatively free right now, so I'll chat with you guys!" Ren raised an eyebrow. He sat down cross-legged directly. He pointed at Zoro first: "I won't talk about Zoro, his teacher Koushirou. Based on the few things Zoro revealed when he and I were sparring with each other, we can infer that his teacher's strength is definitely not as simple as it appears. He is most likely a great swordsman! At least we can protect the Shimotsuki Village from being invaded!"

"What?" Zoro's pupils shrank sharply, a little surprised. Along the way, as he continued to make progress, largely unintentionally, he understood the teachings of his mentor Koushirou that seemed to have been spoken casually, but were full of profound meaning.

He did already have some guesses. His teacher may have been hiding something secretly. Ren's words confirmed this. His teacher Koushirou, really isn't that simple?

"Those Marines who were defeated by you, Luffy, are just like that. With your grandfather 'Iron Fist' Garp, the Marine hero controlling them, even if they harbor resentment, I believe they won't dare to make the mistake of going to East Blue. Foosha Village to take revenge."

"Don't rush to refute me, this is a fact. The title of Marine Hero is still very useful, otherwise with your father Revolutionary Dragon, as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who is trying to overthrow the World Government, with him as the number one target of the World Government and is known as the 'World's Most Dangerous Criminal'. The World Government might have directly issued a big Buster Call to destroy the Foosha Village!"

Luffy: "But...."

"Even your grandfather Garp's comrade-in-arms, the former Admiral 'Black Arm' Zephyr who always upheld benevolence and justice, he never killed any pirate but only arrested them. The relatives of a big shot like him were attacked by pirates who had been spared by him due to his soft-heartedness, but they had no bottom line. His wife and children unfortunately lost their lives. In the end, the Marine Admiral was greatly hit and retired."

"What!?"

"Former Marine Admiral?"

"All family members were killed by pirates in revenge?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Hearing Ren say this, the Straw Hat Crew and even Franky, couldn't help but be a little shocked. They have never heard that even the family members of people like a Marine Admiral were killed in revenge by pirates.

"It's not just that..." Ren sneered and said, "I heard that the Admiral Zephyr retired and became the chief instructor of the Marine Academy. A few years ago, when he led his students on a mission on the Marine internship ship, he was ambushed. A pirate who had been captured by him but was let go because he cried for mercy attacked him. A large number of Marine interns were mercilessly slaughtered. Only two or three people survived, even him, a former Marine Admiral's right arm was cut off..."

Speaking of which, he looked directly at Luffy, who was in disbelief, and asked rudely: "Luffy, why do you think that those pirates who failed to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates but survived will not be resentful and seek revenge on your hometown?"

Luffy clenched his fists. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't refute it.

"Nami, your village is Cocoyashi Village, right?" Glancing at Luffy, Ren had no intention of pressing further. Instead, he looked directly at Nami and asked in a calm tone: "Have you ever thought about what if one of the fishmen escaped because you were temporarily soft-hearted or there was an oversight in the plan? After you left, if they brought their accomplices again, If they come here, what kind of disaster will your village suffer? Are you going to lead Luffy and the others back after the massacre in Cocoyashi Village to avenge everyone who died and show your majesty as a 'big pirate'?"

Nami: "This..."

Ren looked at Sanji, the chef of the Straw Hats, and asked with a sneer: "Sanji, the people you value the most are at the Baratie restaurant, right?"

"Where did you get the confidence? You think that after the insidious and cunning Krieg Pirates have recovered, Don Krieg will not attack them just because you, Luffy and others have foiled their conspiracy. The East Blue Overlord was endlessly humiliated, and what if he directly takes revenge on Baratie Restaurant out of resentment? Or do you think Baratie Restaurant is strong enough to deal with those Krieg Pirates?"

"He repays kindness with hatred, I think Krieg should have taught you this lesson before, right?" Sanji's face changed and he was speechless.

Ren did not continue to taunt him, but continued to look at Usopp who was lying there seriously injured: "Usopp, are you from Syrup Village?"

"You smashed the conspiracy of the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro but did you prevent future troubles? Do you think Kuro and the others will attack your hometown after you leave? Will they look for the girl you secretly like in your heart again?"

"This…" Listening to Ren's straightforward revelation, Usopp, who had a bruised nose and face, changed his expressions: "No, that is absolutely impossible to happen, don't be an alarmist Ren!"

"I am just stating a possibility, which is an assumption based on reality. It does not mean that such a thing will definitely happen..." He didn't mean to argue fiercely. He glanced at Usopp and said calmly: "But you know whether I am alarmist or not. After all, you yourself should have seen the world enough by now!"

"Chopper, your hometown is the Drum Kingdom, right?" Immediately afterwards, Ren looked at Chopper again: "If Wapol, the king of the Drum Kingdom, and his subordinates were not killed by me, but were simply defeated and driven out by you? One day, if he uses the power of the World Government to regain the Drum Kingdom, what do you think will happen to the people of there and your most beloved Dr. Kureha?"

"Doctor..." Chopper stood there with his mouth was open, unable to speak. He had always felt that Ren's methods were too drastic and cruel but there was something irrefutable about Ren's words.

"Those pirates who escaped and came back again because of your naivety and soft-heartedness, even if they know the strength of the Straw Hat Pirates and dare not come to you for revenge, the vast majority of cruel and ruthless pirates are not so rational and think so much before and after. In order to vent their dissatisfaction and resentment, they will only intensify their revenge on those people and squeeze them back..."

"Perhaps, when you go back one day, you will only see devastated, deserted ruins that were burned to ashes. Even if you are lucky and they did not retaliate against your hometown, but what if they came to take revenge on your relatives and friends..."

"You can get lucky once, you can get lucky twice, how can you still have such good luck every time and run into that kind of 'kind' pirate? You think they won't harm your family? For pirates who have completely lost their moral bottom line, they will do anything to satisfy their ego!"
