At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

Fergus, the former captain of the pirate team and today's "big brother", is leading his brothers to quietly approach the target.

Under the command of Fergus, the seven pirates divided into two groups and surrounded the camp with smoke rising from the front.

In fact, Reno has a huge advantage - the pirates don't know his true strength at all.

Renault wasn't captured by them before, he was picked up by them in a half-dead state.

Later, Reno showed the ability to use other people's devil fruits, and killed two of their companions, and even jumped off a cliff without dying.

The pirates were also frightened.

"Big brother!"

"Asshole, what are you shouting for?"

"You'll know just by looking at it."

With his whereabouts exposed, Fergus stood up in the grass and swore a few curse words.

It turned out that there was only an unburnt campfire left at the target location, and the enemy had long since disappeared.

In the distance, Renault, wearing a "Geely Suit", was walking away quietly with his waist bent.

Ghillie clothing has nothing to do with the superstitious "Geely". It is translated from a Scottish name, Ghillie.

Simply put, a ghillie suit is a coat decorated with cloth, sacks, ropes, and cloth strips. The color is usually earthy or leaf green, which is a camouflage color. It is used for camouflage to make it difficult for enemies to detect you.

In modern warfare, there are even urban ghillie suits disguised as garbage dumps for use in urban street fighting.

You might think Renault is a military fan? actually not.

He had an impression of ghillie suits because he saw a funny dynamic picture before traveling through time: a young couple was romancing in the forest, and suddenly a dozen onlookers wearing ghillie suits who were exercising suddenly appeared around them... The young couple was I was stunned.

The ghillie suit that Renault is currently wearing is naturally not as professional as the uniforms of regular soldiers. It was all improvised by him using leaves, weeds, and vines.

Although the workmanship is rough, it is enough for playing with seven pirates in this big forest.

While eating the steaming grilled fish, Renault got further and further away from the cursing pirates.

There are many berries on this island, but you can't just eat plants, as that will cause malnutrition.

Renault's current physique is already in a "sub-healthy" state and he must eat meat to supplement protein and other nutrients.

Why are people like Luffy, Kidd, and Zoro so edible? Because they must absorb enough nutrients to ensure the development of strength and the enhancement of their physique.

After eating and drinking, Renault hid in a relatively safe location and entered the "virtual world".

He must be highly concentrated to enter the "virtual world". However, at this time, Renault will not be unable to notice the external environment due to his high concentration. On the contrary, his crisis perception ability will be increased, as long as there is someone nearby. At the slightest sign of trouble, Renault would suddenly wake up.

Moss explained that Renault's immersive state relies on something similar to "beast instinct."

Renault in the virtual space was standing in a duel field paved with stone slabs. The surrounding environment was pitch black.

In fact, the surrounding environment can be switched at will according to Renault's will, whether it is the White House or the Royal Palace, Mount Fuji or the Eiffel Tower. However, Renault did not put on fancy scenes, which is okay but not necessary.

"Moss, why does the skill 'see through' have to be practiced before it can be used? Doesn't it mean that the proficiency of the skills extracted in the game world is directly at the master level?"

“You’ll know once you try it.”

"Ok."

Renault closed his eyes and thought of a person in his mind. When he opened his eyes, the pirate "Rat" whose neck was broken by Renault on the pirate ship appeared in front of Renault.

"Brother Mouse, you are welcome and safe, you will be my sparring partner from now on."

Of course, Moss did not summon the soul of the mouse into this virtual world. The mouse in front of Renault was actually just a hard-working "tool man".

Renault chose a spear for the mouse: "Come and attack."

The mouse first bowed to Renault, then held the spear in both hands and sprinted towards Renault.

"see through!"

"Pfft!"

"What the hell...hiss..."

The mouse pierced Renault's abdomen with a spear, and blood spilled all over the floor.

"stop!"

Feeling the severe pain in his abdomen, Renault asked: "Moss, are you cheating on me?!"

"Moss didn't trick you."

"Then why can't I see through him?"

"You didn't even move, how could you see through it? Reality is not a game."

"..."

Renault suddenly understood.

When playing games in the past, he controlled the game character. When the enemy on the opposite side made a thrust, he only needed to press a button, and the character in the game would automatically complete a set of smooth operations to see through the enemy's attack.

But in the real world, Renault must make his body move in order to complete the "see through" operation.

"I understand."

"Come again."

"Wait a minute...select painless mode."

The default mode of the virtual world is "real mode".

Real mode can simulate real combat scenes to the greatest extent, but Renault is just doing repetitive exercises at this time, and there is no need to turn on real mode.

"Mouse, come here."

The mouse roared, holding the spear with both hands and sprinting towards Renault again.

"see through!"

This time, Renault's body moved, but...

"Pfft!"

Same result.

Renault, who was stabbed to the ground by the mouse, shouted stop.

"Moss!"

"Sir, although your movements are smooth this time, are you really seeing through the enemy's attack in front of you?"

"What do you mean?"

"You need to know what you are doing, such as using chopsticks to pick up food. First of all, you have to know what you want to pick up, and you can't mess around."

"You mean, I'm just using this move mechanically now?"

"That's understandable."

Renault mused.

In other words, fortunately I didn't show off when I used "Leap of Faith". For example, if I had turned my back to the cliff, faced the pirates, smiled evilly, and jumped back, I might have fallen to death on the spot. .

After figuring out what was going on, Renault began to seriously face the mouse in front of him.

"Come!"

"kill!"

The mouse held a spear in his hand, accelerated his legs, and stabbed Renault hard in the abdomen with murderous intent.

Renault's slightly narrowed eyes seemed to have completely seen through the movement trajectory of the mouse's move. His body moved with smooth movements.

"clang!"

Renault first stepped to the side to dodge, and at the same time his figure flashed. He turned around and stepped on the spear thrust by the mouse. He slammed the tip of the spear onto the stone floor, making a crisp sound when it collided.

The mouse that was sprinting with all its strength was unsteady, staggered, and almost fell to the ground. Renault took advantage of the situation and slashed directly at the back of the mouse's neck. Blood spattered, the mouse fell to the ground, and its body gradually became transparent and disappeared.

Renault quickly summoned the rat again.

"Rat, use the spear to sweep this time."

"clang!"

Renault, who has mastered the skills, once again easily saw through the trajectory of the mouse's attack.

"Change knives."

"clang!"

Renault was slightly excited: "That's what it feels like!"

"Real Mode!"

I don’t know how many times I tried it, but the moves that couldn’t be “seen through” using skills, such as chopping, didn’t count, but any offensive moves that could be “seen through”, the mouse could no longer hurt Renault at all.

"I understand that a truly strong person should turn his skills into instincts."

Turning skills into instinct, to put it bluntly, when the enemy uses weapons to sweep across Renault's lower body, Renault's reaction is no longer "use skills to see through", but more straightforward and direct "dodge and step on the enemy's weapons" , just like using chopsticks to pick up vegetables, you don’t need to think and judge in advance, you just need to reach out and pick it up, and it’s at your fingertips.

Renault mused.

"So, if I acquire a new skill in the future, even if Moss doesn't remind me that I need to practice, I must practice it first and turn the skill into instinct."
