NOVEL NEXT Chapter 79: Right before the boss
-Robin: look at the leader go, SS ranks are so strong, just seeing that monster I know I would die immediately against it
She and the rest of the members that were online currently were seeing things that were happening inside of the gate.
Though the stream was online for them, it had other features, for example, they could actually feel how strong that monster was just by seeing it. And when robin did so, she knew Ren had entered a new realm of strength.
'Good for him, and me too later hehe'
Robin felt happy for him. But also anticipated their working out session where the two of them would continue to get even stronger together.
But she then saw Tsunade had replied to her.
-Tsunade: Certainly, if I was to take what my disciple Sakura said as true then he had reached this level in just a short time all the way from B rank
-Tsunade: That is very impressive
Sakura did say that she had known that. And here he is now with not too much time passing since then and he was already stronger than her.
And she wasn't by any means weak.
She had a twinkle in her eyes.
Right now, she was fully geared and ready to join their side in case anything went wrong.
Her outfit failed to hide her voluptuous body. Her giant milkers couldn't be hidden at all, as her outfit showed a bit of her midriff section.
She had a fishnet yoga pant that only extended over one leg, while the other was bare, only being hidden by a sash she had around her waist.
She was a healer after all, and even if she left the attacking for them since SS rank was beyond her, healing any injuries was still easy.
'This guy, I can see why he managed to capture Sakura's interest, hmm'
Despite getting familiar with Ren and talking with him occasionally, this was her first time seeing him.
'And he sure is one fine hell of a man' She licked her lips. He was just like she was imagining him in her mind.
And at the moment he killed the scorpion and just stood there valiantly, she almost wanted to teleport there and just kiss the guy in passion.
Ren stood there with his chain grabbing one part in each hand and looked at the corpse of the monster with what she observed as disdain.
He just triggered her lust instantly and Tsunade had to take a deep breath and think hard about the reason why her body was reacting so strongly to this guy she had just seen for the first time.
Maybe her interest in him for a while now triggered such a reaction.
'Or maybe it's Sakura's words about how good in bed this guy was…' Tsunade shook her head from such thoughts. There was even the fact that it might be due to some trait of his…
Sakura was a very horny woman, to the point where she invited them all to join her in having sex with him after she explained about Ren in the gym the last time.
Tsunade was considering it now…
-Plutia: As expected from the leader ehehe… I will make you a plushie in celebration later
-All Might: It seems like they are in control of things on that side for now
-Tsunade: Yeah, but out of caution, I would ask @Plutia and @Tsundere'Of'Terror Uhm I mean @Tatsumaki to stay ready just in case
-Plutia: You can count on me
-Tatsumaki: …Tsk, stupid saggy boobs
-Tsunade: haha, you're wishing you had my tits though
-Robin: Ara, ara, master Tsunade don't you think dealing such a blow to her while she is inside a gate can be dangerous? What if she slips and ends up getting eaten by a monster?
-Tatsumaki: …
-Robin: Still, on more important things than Tatsumaki's no existent chest, this gate is now proven to be the same as the one before, and Plutia's earlier assumptions about it are correct
-Tsunade: true. Just a few seconds ago it was S rank and now it had increased. Even the mission has changed to now warn of it soon going to become SSS rank.
-Robin: let's hope to find some clues then
They continued chatting in the group as the stream continued.
**********
Meanwhile, as Ren destroyed the monster, he felt the old man coming toward him with big steps.
He raised an eyebrow as he noticed the presence of Ace going away from them toward the exit of the gate possibly.
"This is not a playground, and I can't babysit him while fighting, Gurararara… Not on another point, leader, it's our first time meeting face to face,"
Whitebeard explained as if he understood Ren's thoughts.
As he said, an SS rank would destroy someone like Ace, or even Ren a few days ago.
"A pleasure to meet someone like you, an living legend," Ren practically had stars in his eyes internally as he was standing closer to the old man.
'Take the pictures Robinnn!' Inside he was screaming for her.
His inner fanboy was screaming.
And even though Whitebeard overshadowed Ren in terms of muscles and Height, Ren didn't lose out on the charisma he was emitting.
"Gurarara"
"Leader, you gained my respect as you don't look like a greenhorn"
The old man praised him. And Ren had a thin smile on his face as he rubbed the back of his head.
As it seemed that although Ren had increased rapidly in ranks, he still knew how to fight properly.
Plus, Whitebeard had noticed something else.
'He can use haki… so, he is also a Grandliner,'
But now wasn't the time to chat.
Whitebeard continued on.
"But for now, I think we should focus on the gate more. This gate is about to become SSS rank and it's best to destroy it before, or at least don't allow it to increase even more"
Ren nodded his head and said.
"Indeed, I have scanned the area and I can't detect where the boss should be, it must be out of my range"
"Leave it to me," Whitebeard grinned and said.
He then closed his eyes and used his observation haki.
The next thing that happened was his eyes opening sharply in a certain direction.
"There. It seems the situation is more dire than I thought... too many SS ranks had already showed up"
Ren also got serious about that.
"We need to move quickly then"
**********
Following that, the two ran forward in the direction the old man pointed to, and they soon met their first opposition.
They fought a group of S ranks and a few SS ranks, where the old man demonstrated firsthand how strong an SSS rank was.
Just a casual punch with his unique power destroyed all S ranks easily.
And then he one-shotted every SS rank he met head-on with.
By the end of their encounter, Ren had taken down only two SS ranks, while the old man had taken down five.
And while Ren had been breathing a bit roughly due to the strenuous activity that is fighting SS ranks similar to him, the old man was relatively fine.
Following that, the two then continued on running forward to the next place. Until they reached just before the largest energy the old man had said he had felt.
And right now, they were fighting the last battle before they'll enter the boss area.
*Fuah*
*Grah*
A giant person came bearing down with a punch surrounded by a white bubble on a monster's head. He issued a war cry as he targeted the head of the scorpion monster.
The monster as if it sensed the threat attempted to escape into the ground where its speed would increase but it was already too late, as the punch seemingly penetrated through the space and hit it straight on its head.
When the punch made contact with the head of the scorpion, a huge shockwave exploded immediately after, and as it spread from the head of the monster, it peeled its armor like butter as it turned it into dust, and its flesh body started to tear.
Its eyes exploded and its internal organs busted out of its body as it died a painful death.
The old man landed from the sky as he held his weapon with one hand, and shook his other hand that landed the punch.
'Slow… I'm getting slow'
He was aware that n his prime he could do much better, but as his age was catching up to him he couldn't perform the same.
Not to mention his sickness that couldn't be healed. That was also a major obstacle that stopped him from showing 100%.
He turned his eyes to the side where Ren was also having some fun fighting a similar but smaller slightly scorpion.
It shot acid at Ren, but he dodged them all and attacked in a beautiful display of using his Kusarigama. Which was a weapon that whitebeard admired any who can use. Due to how hard it was.
'What is his trait?'
Ren was displaying various skills as his weapon penetrated the eyes of the monster, and when he wrapped it around its head he used his strength to tear the head off.
His weapon was complemented by his wind ability, and Whitebeard was wondering if that was Ren's trait.
Still, everyone had their secrets and he wasn't going to ask.
"This was the last stop before we confront the boss that is most likely about to become SSS rank,"
The old man can pick up on a huge energy wave but he didn't feel it was concentrated in one monster. The feeling was very weird, and he had to see with his own eyes to draw any conclusion.
Ren propped his spear over his head and nodded.
*Fuah*
He took a deep breath as he looked at the area in front of them covered in a cloud-like red energy that hid anything inside.
Beyond that was the real threatening situation.
'I'm getting some bad vibes…' Ren was feeling something very dangerous from the other side.
"Are you ready?" The old man had a serious look on his face as he asked.
He didn't' mind if Ren went out now like Ace earlier. After all, the situation now would be very dangerous and he wasn't sure he could help Ren if anything happened.
But Ren refused.
"I'm ready, let's do it,"
He then led the way and stepped inside the red energy area.
