One Piece: The Power System

Rein and Erica sat on the boat that was slightly bigger than the average boat. Rein was starting to feel a slight stomachache, he was clearly seasick. Erica had a map in her hand that Rein had been looking at a week prior to this day.

Rein looked over at her, she was standing up on the boat and looking at the map seriously. Reing noticed something and laughed. "Erica, the map is upside down, can you actually read it like that? You're amazing. Hahaha!" Rein was feeling bored on this boat but found amus.e.m.e.nt in her serious face while reading a map upside down!

"Huh! AH!" Erica blushed after noticing that she was looking at the map upside down. She immediately turned it the right way and began to read it.

"Hehe, what have you found so far? Any islands close by?" They had already been on this boat for about an hour and a half, it was pretty boring at this point.

"Hmm, my navigation skills aren't so good but we should be close to an island." Erica looked closely at the map and nodded. "Yep, we're close to an island, we should be able to see it in thirty minutes or so." Erica was finally able to pinpoint their position and found that they were close to another island.

"Oh, really, and what is the name of this island?" Rein stretched and yawned while asking.

"The island is called Castle-Ford Island, there seemed to be a big city there. I don't know too much about the city but there should be several villages on the island just like our home." After Erica's explanation, he understood a little something. Rein had never heard of an island called Castle-Ford Island, ever!

"It's whatever, it was never an island explored in the series, it's best to check it out, hehe!" Rein wasn't worried about anyone in the East Blue. Devil Fruit users were the ultimate in this place, but it was one of the calm seas that the Pirates wouldn't stay long in.

"Haha, full speed ahead!" Rein stood up and pointed into the distance like he was a captain of his own ship.

"Uh, w-we have no paddles for that or a ship." Erica hated the destroy Rein's epic moment but what she said was right, they could only go where the wind took them.

"Sigh" Rein sat back down, he could only wait.

However, at this moment, someways away, Rein and Erica were being watched by some unknown ship far into the distance.

"Captain, there is a boat quite some way away, what do we do? Do we ignore it or blow it out of the water?" Suddenly, the man was bonked over the head.

"You fool, we may be pirates but we don't just blow boats and sh.i.p.s out of the water!" This man was captain of this ship. He looked young, he had white hair and blue eyes, he was known as Captain Cloud of the White Cloud Pirates!

"Give me the spyglass, let's see what we got here." The subordinate pirate gave his captain the spyglass for him to have a look.

"Hmm, there seemed to be two of them, one is a woman, wow, not bad!" Captain Cloud smiled, he had only been a pirate for a year, but he had all dudes in his crew. This woman looked quite good, but with his looks, it shouldn't be hard to get a woman.

"Hoho, I would stop them to have a little chat but we're in a rush to Myriad Island. We already got information that the Red River Pirate Alliance and Malone Family are working together on that island for something important!" Captain Cloud's eyes flickered with expectation as he told his men to ignore Rein and Erica.

The White Cloud Pirates steered their ship further away from Rein and Erica, their destination, Myriad Island! Meanwhile, back at the boat where Rein and Erica were, Rein was just going over his status. He had seen some improvement over the years but not enough with no opponents to truly train and fight against.

"Hmm, still not good enough!"

After looking over the system all these years, Rein had understood quite a lot about how these Technique and weapon ranks worked. Rein's strength was quite good in the east blue, it was even good on the 1st part of the grand line with the fact that he already knew Haki. However, if he entered the new world as he was now, he would get folded in a second unless he went all out, then there might be hope. But the chances were too low, he wouldn't dare to enter such a place as he was now.

As for ranking, if someone were to enter the realm of A-Rank then they could be considered a Master of their perspective stat or ability. For example, if someone were an A-Rank of Observation Haki, they would have minor and I say very minor future sight but it would be very low and weak. You would start to really touch on future sight once you were in the high A-Rank area and most definitely the S-Ranking.

Once Luffy came out of his training from the 2-year time skip, his observation Haki was around BBB-Rank. It wasn't until his battle with Katakuri that he broke through to A-Rank. Rayleigh had told Luffy to fight strong opponents and fight without using any of gears, if done, he would be able to train his observation Haki allowing it to reach a higher level. This was mainly why he fought Katakuri in base form without turning into bounce man right away or using any gears for that matter.

Katakuri was a top-class Observation Haki user, so fighting this type of opponent would surely boost his Observation Haki. Once Luffy was enlightened on Observation Haki, he got serious and turned into BouceMan, Technically Luffy was no match for Katakuri in all truth.

Luffy was mainly a heavy armament Haki user, he was an A to AA-Rank at that time. However, he fought a truly powerful Armament Haki user, Kaido! He was clobbered in one hit without the chance of resisting. Kaido was definitely an SS or SSS-Class Armament Haki User! Shanks was a heavy Conquerors Haki user, everyone had their strong suit of Haki they were good at.

Rein was good at Observation Haki but boosted his strength a lot, he also trained Soru a bit more to make up for the speed loss. After about thirty minutes or so, the island known as Castleford came into sight. It was easy to spot due to how big it was, it was technically bigger than Goa Kingdom.

Rein was tempted to just fly over there but that would surely garner a lot of attention which he was trying to avoid for now. Rein thought for a moment and decided to put a mask over his face, he didn't want his face being exposed just yet. He also looked like Luffy in the face but had sharper and much more serious features. He was also muscular compared to Luffy in body physique. Once he became a pirate he would just remove the mask or just show his crew members his face.

Time went by and they landed on the island with no problem. Once they landed, they saw no one, so Rein flew upwards to get a better look. Rein didn't use his wings, half his body, his legs had turned into some clear gas that he used for flight.

"Gasp!" Erica gasped in surprise, he could fly!? The ability to fly was very useful in the one-piece world, this was especially so for a world mostly made of water. Once Rein was high enough, he had spotted a huge city not too far away.

Swoosh!!

Rein swooped down after he was done scouting.

"There's a city not too far from here, we will head there for a bit." Rein looked to Erica who stared at him silently before nodding. She honestly wanted to fly just like that, but she didn't complain about it, she already had such a strong ability, what more do you want beside flying?

Rein put the boat into his storage before proceeding through the forest, as they were walking they saw a walkway. "Good, at least this place has some class to create a walkway for people to walk on instead of walking through this forest!" Rein was elated to see the walkway, he had walked through mountains and forests too much during his stay in this world.

While walking on the walkway, there were several intersections, they both spotted vendors of people on their way. They were selling fruits and other types of food, even some clothes every now and then. Rein and Erica easily made their way to the gate of the city with no problem, it wasn't being guarded or anything so they just entered.

The city was quite beautiful, it had tall buildings in some places and many shops all around. In the middle of the city was a large statue and a water fountain. The city was packed with people going in and out of the stores, it was lively with people which made Rein feel good being here.

Rein asked some people where he could find the bounty hunter guild. They told him the directions and Rein thanked them and went on his way. Under the direction of the people not too long ago, Rein and Erica found their way to the Bounty hunter guild or pirate hunter guild. The guild was right next door to a marine building where they would take the criminals in you brought to them or showed them proof of their death.

Rein and Erica walked into the Guild casually. The guild was nice and clean, there was a stage inside that had instruments on it but no one was up there playing. The people in the building all stopped what they were doing and looked at Rein and Erica. After seeing nothing interesting they turned away to continue what they were recently doing.

Both of them walked to the counter where the bartender was, he just got done serving a drink to some stranger.

Rein and Erica sat down on the stools near the bar.

"What can I get for ya?" The bartender asked bluntly and plainly

"Two orange juices, please!" Rein said with a smile.

The bartender looked at Rein like he was an idiot! "Orange juice? What the hell, we don't serve kid drinks!"

"Oh, uh, hook us up with some water then, hehe!" Rein's eyebrows twitched, this was a damn bar!?

The bartender shook his head and went to get Rein and Erica some water. The man gave them their water and was about to walk away. "Hold up, I also want to know some information, can you answer my questions?

The bartender paused and turned to Rein with a smile.

"What do you wish to know?"

"Could you give me a list of the local pirates in the area? I also want to know the big shots in this city, can you tell me that much?" Rein would hunt people in the other blue seas as well but that would require him to cross the calm belt, which was not a good idea right now!

The bartender grinned and used his index finger to tap the counter. This indicated that this information wouldn't be free. Rein sighed and slid the bartender one thousand berries.

"Good, now you're speaking my language!" The bartender took the berries into his pocket: "I'll grab a list of local pirates on this island, it's quite a bit of them! As for the big shots, I'll tell you that afterward." The bartender turned to walk towards the back but before that, Rein spoke again.

"I also want the pirates wanted in the east blue in general, mark the local pirates with a pen or marker." Rein sipped his water under his mask as the bartender nodded and disappeared into the back.

"Are we going to hunt them all?" Erica was stunned and wondered why he needed so many wanted posters.

"No way, I just want the best pirates to hunt, knowledge is the best thing to have in this world." A moment later, the bartender came out with a stack of bounty posters. The bartender handed Rein the stack of wanted posters and Rein handed it to Erica.

"As for the big shots on this island, they're..." Before he could finish, the door to the Bounty Guild was pushed opened. Everyone in the guild looked over to see who it was as they usually do.

The man wore all white, he had a pistol on each side of his waist with a serious expression on. The man had brown skin, if anything, this would be classified as a black man back in his world. Rein looked closely and the guy, he looked just like a character he used to use in League of legends, Lucian!

No way!

Rein hollered to himself, did Lucian come to this world!?

Author Note: Not the real Lucian, just a look-alike.

The man walked straight to the bounty boards, his eyes glared over everyone! He looked at the board and grabbed the poster of the person he wanted to hunt! After that he looked at a group sitting at a table, he began to walk over slowly.

"W-what? W-What do you want?" The group of men started to panic but the gunslinger didn't reply and kept walking closer.

"I-I got money, d-do you want that?" The man pulled out some berries. But there was no reply from him again, he soon stopped at the table full of men. The air was heavy, everyone was looking to see what was going to happen, including Rein and Erica.

Suddenly he spoke. "Are you going to finish that sandwich?

"Pfft~~!" Some people at the next table spit out their water, the people he approached had snot coming out of their noses in shock!

Rein began to choke on his water, why the hell did he look so serious about a damn sandwich!? Erica started to laugh, she had tears in her eyes, this was so weird, who was this guy?

"N-No, here you can have it, in fact, take this money, you can buy plenty!" The man shoved five thousand berries into his hand and they got up and left in a hurry!

"Wait, I didn't want your money, I just asked if..." He stopped talking, the people had already run away.

The man sighed and walked out of the Bounty Guild.

"W-what in the world was that!?" The man at the next table was stupefied. Everyone began to chatter after seeing the wimpy behavior of the bounty that ran away.

Rein was curious: "Bartender, do you know who that was?" Rein asked

The man sighed "Yes, his name is Vindicate, he is a gunslinger who became a bounty hunter a year or so ago." The bartender said with a sigh: "His village was raided by pirates when he was a kid and his parents were killed by them, he had to fend for himself and decided to become a pirate hunter to bring peace to the east blue again, but we know that's impossible. This is the great age of pirates and only more will spawn over time." The bartender shook his head.

"Ah, it was like that, huh!" Rein had seen pirate raids from the show of one-piece, they mostly bleeped out the bad things that really went on with those raids and would make it a bit censored. Rein could only imagine what really went on.

The people around continued to talk "Tsk, that guy wasn't so scary, if he came back I would defeat him with a fist!" One man gloated as he flexed his muscles.

Suddenly the door was pushed open again, he was back!

"Ah!" The man yelped when he saw vindicate return again as beads of sweat formed on his forehead. Vindicate looked towards the man and everyone else, he looked mad serious this time, this didn't look good!

"W-What do you want?" The trash-talking man unconsciously asked, he thought Vindicate had heard what he said earlier.

Vindicate's eyes glared at the man, everyone gasped, Vindicate was reaching for his pistol!

N-No wait, I was kidding, please d-don't hurt me!" Suddenly..

Whoosh!

Vindicate pulled a wanted poster "Can anyone help me find where this guy is, I'm lost!"

"Pfft!" They once again spit out their water and many people fell to the ground in shock. Why does this man always have such a serious damn face!? Rein face was twitching, is this the legendary misunderstood person with a terrible sense of direction?

The trash talker spoke," I-I'll show, just don't kill me, please!" The man kowtowed and slammed his head on the ground!

"Huh! Kill you, I wasn't going to kill anyone." Vindicate scratched his head in confusion, he just asked for help, how was killing someone.

"Follow me! I'll show you, just don't shoot or break my legs and arms!" The man got up and walked out of the bar, Vindicate still looked confused but followed afterward.

What the actual hell!

Rein looked at the bartender to ask about the big shots once again but he was still stunned while Erica was still laughing.

Author Note: Rein Learned Swordsmanship Naturally, so he can learn stuff naturally so relax. Lol!
