One Piece: The Power System

Chapter 22 - First Hunt!

Author Note: Check Chapter Zero for information on his devil fruit.

At the moment, Rein and Erica are inside a hotel. They both decided to spend their time here on this island to take down some pirates for a bit. Rein had learned some things from the bartender before leaving the Guild.

The Island's powerhouse was a Mafia family known as the Malone Family. Rein had never heard of it before, but it sounded so close to the Capone Family from the West Blue. He had asked the bartender about the Capone family and the man confirmed that the Capone family is an arch-rival of the Malone Family. The Capone Mafia or family wore black suits as their main way of dressing. This was different for the Malone family who wore white suits instead.

"Hmm!" Rein looked through the bounty poster while Erica laid on the sofa resting her eyes. Rein wanted to hunt some pirates today, he and Erica could hunt pirates solo for faster efficiency. After looking through the stack for a while, he finally found his first target.

"Hmm, Death Vice McGee!" The man had a bulky figure with a devilish grin on his face, he had a bald head with tattoos on it.

"The stereotypical look of a pirate, just wow!" Rein shook his head: "Erica, are you going to choose the pirate you want to hunt?" Hearing what Rein said, she opened her eyes and sat up.

"Of course, let me see who's going to be my target." Erica began to skim through the stack of wanted posters. Rein did the same, he was looking for a second target to hunt, he was sure he could get the job done in a week or so if they were on this island. Maybe he would get it done in a day, which he believed he could do.

Erica soon found her target, his name was Jack the Shanker! The man and his crew usually target women and would torture and R*** them before killing them gruesomely. Erica's expression turned shockingly cold knowing someone like this was on the same island as her, will this Jack the Shanker live through her hunt!?

She only wanted to hunt one target for now, as for Rein, he wanted two for now. Death Vice Mcgee's bounty was 20 Million Berries while Jack the shankers Bounty was 25 Million Berries, it was quite a high bounty if Rein had to say so himself.

"I'll take my leave now, I must purge this evil existence before he finds more victims!" Erica had a bit of killing intent coming from her which stunned Rein, when did she develop such intent, maybe killing animals? Erica didn't wait for Rein to reply and shut the door behind her with the sound of her footstep disappearing as she grew further away.

Rein shook his head, this was the pirate world and most became pirates for freedom to do what they wanted. Rein continued to search for his next target to hunt before setting out, the Bartender did Rein and Erica a better favor by attaching a note to each poster. This note would tell Rein and Erica the location of the pirates they wanted to hunt.

"He may be a bartender but he sure does know a lot about the locations of the pirates on this island." Rein skimmed through the poster and finally found his second target.

Rex the fierce, from the Fierce Pirates!

"A total of 14 million berries, not so bad, it'll do for now!" Rein organized the stack of wanted posters and sat them next to the wanted poster of the pirates that were not on this island but just in the east blue.

Rein left his hotel room and locked it behind him. His first target was going to be Rex. Rein walked through the lively city, his destination was a gate out of the city. Rein had come to know that the city was called Bulwark City. The city had a total of four city gates from A to D that were located in different parts of the city.

Rein had come in through the B Gate last time but now he was heading to the D Gate which was outside of the city. Pirates always built their bases outside of the city and fought for territory close to the city. Most didn't have the nerve to enter this city or they would be attacked by a bunch of Marines and Pirates hunters. If they wanted to come in they would have to do it undercover.

Rein took about thirty minutes on foot to reach the D gate which was too long! Rein passed the gate and continued to walk on the walkway that was present before. Over time, the walkway disappeared, it seemed he was heading in the pirate territory now.

Suddenly, it started to rain and pour heavily as he advanced through the forest. Rein began to sneak close to the coordinates the bartender had given him on paper. What he saw was a cave, at the mouth of the cave were five men armed with swords.

They seemed to be talking enthusiastically about something but Rein couldn't hear them with the sudden downpour. Judging by the tattoo on one of the men's c.h.e.s.ts who had an open coat on, he confirmed that this was the fierce Pirates.

Rein moved swiftly and quickly knocked them out before tying them up.

[Congratulations Rein, you've defeated five fierce pirates, you've received: 2 Attribute Points!

"What a small amount!" Rein shook his head and proceeded deeper into the cave. Before going deeper, Rein waved his hand as clear cold gas appeared at the entrance of the cave. The gas floated by the entrance while the men he defeated were tied up and placed in a bush outside in the rain.

As he crept, he saw a group of men indulging themselves in wine."Man, this wine is the good stuff, we need to rob more marine sh.i.p.s next week or so!" The man downed a cup of wine and laughed gruesomely.

"No worries, our captain will be sure to do that, those marines are nothing good so we can just rob them and be on our way, maybe kill some while we're at it, hahaha!" The man laughed and downed his wooden cup of wine.

"I'll tell you what we need, we need some bitches in here if you know what I mean!" One of the men was already drunk and displayed a l.u.s.tful expression. His face was red with joy in his thoughts.

"No problem, tomorrow we'll kidnap a couple of women to enjoy, it should be good, haha!" A short bald man who barely had teeth laughed with a face uglier than a cry!

Suddenly, Rein moved to attack, he appeared behind the most intoxicated man and chopped towards his neck with his hand!

"AH!"

The screamed but fell unconscious soon after. The men spit out their wine and looked at Rein with surprise but soon their face turned uglier!

"I never could have imagined that idiot would have the guts to invade our base!" One of the men stood up and drew his sword, no, all of them drew their swords while some pulled out their guns and took aim.

"KILL HIM!" All the men with guns fire a barrage of bullets at Rein

Bang!

Bang!

The cave was full of dust and sparks.

"Hold your fire!" The man who appeared to be their superior spoke up. The men stopped upon hearing the command and looked at the place they bombarded with bullets.

"HA! Just another idiot who got himself killed for daring to hunt us!"

Another man sneered in disdain. "He died with no grave, he's just another pirate hunter we'll be feeding to the fish, HAHAHA!" Soon, everyone started to laugh.

"Yeah, that guy was an idiot, give me a high five for our success!"

"Sure, haha!" The man gave him a high five but he suddenly felt his hand go numb!

"Huh!" The man looked at his hand in shock, it had been frozen!

"It's you, you should be dead!"

"Oh, a high five ain't good enough, then a hug would be better than!" Rein hugged the man and he was slowly turned into a block of ice!

"Shoot him, aim for his head this time!" Seeing his comrade turned into ice, he felt shivers! The guys wanted to take aim but Rein formed an orange blazing whip and slapped their guns out of their hands.

"AH!" Most of them were burned by the whip as he did it.

Rein sent his whip out again and slapped three men away as they slammed into the cave walls, falling unconscious. "F.u.c.k, stab him, don't let up guys, we can kill him as a team!" As soon as he said that, he was sent flying with a whip to the c.h.e.s.t. The man couldn't even scream and fainted with scorch marks on his c.h.e.s.t.

Before the others could retaliate, Rein used Soru and kicked and punched them until their arms and legs were disabled. Suddenly, a roar of madness could be heard from deep in the cave.

"Which dumb pirate hunter has the McNuggets to attack my crew!?" The man was about 6'4 in height. He had a head full of brown hair and a long beard sort of like brown beard, his eyes were sharp with rage.

"You, Huh! Remember fellow, you were seeking death! A masked fool like you can go to hell!" Out of nowhere, the man took out a cannon and fired it towards Rein, where the hell did that cannon come from!?

BOOM!

The cave shook, the captain apparently didn't care about his cremates because some of them were caught in the explosion and died! The cave was pretty sturdy and didn't show any remote signs of collapsing.

"They'll know not to mess with Captain Wade Fierce of the Fierce Pirates! HAHA!~" Fierce laughed victoriously, he was only concerned with victory and didn't even think about his crewmates.

"C-captain, s-save me!" One of his men who was hit with a whip by Rein crawled over with a pleading expression seeking help.

"You useless shit, you guys were defeated by one man, go to death!" Fierce pulled out a pistol and shot the man in the head, he died instantly.

Suddenly, a blazing rod came out of the smoke and dust and hit Captain Fierce in the shoulder!

"AHHHHH!" He screamed hysterically when the attack pierced his flesh. He tried to take it out of his shoulder but it was too hot to touch.

"Impossible! I blew you up with my launcher, there is no way!" Fierce looked at Rein in shocked, then fear took him over, it was an immortal demon!

"Goodness, Captain has been impaled and defeated, we need to run or we're next!" They soon found out that they couldn't hurt Rein no matter what they did and made a run for it.

Rein gave Fierce one last punch to the stomach as he fainted from the impact.

[Congratulations Rein, you've unlocked the Bounty System!

[Congratulations Rein, you've defeated the Fierce Pirates, you've earned: 4 Skill points!

"Hmm, not bad but it could be better." Rein shook his head and tied Captain fierce up. He carried Fierce to the mouth of the cave where he saw every person that ran some time ago, they had been frozen!

"Nice, that gas I left at the entrance earlier is really good for trapping people and stopping them from escaping." This ability was similar to Magellan's Venom-Venom Fruit. In this aspect, it was good at trapping and snaring people who wanted to run away. The group of pirates ran into the Nitrogen cloud of gas and were frozen soon after. The sad part is, they didn't even see it coming, it was clear gas.

Since they were unconscious while some died, Rein put them into his storage, which would keep them in a coma-like state. Rein went to his next destination to hunt Death Vice McGee. Rein took him and his crew down before nightfall.

Once he was done, he swiftly made his way back to the city to receive his reward for his hunt. The marines were dumbfounded seeing the group of pirates Rein had caught, they were frozen solid while some suffered bad burns, what happened!?

Rein was paid a total of 42 million berries, he had received a bonus for catching their crew as well. Although most of them didn't even have bounties, they were still apart of the pirate's crew of the captains he had captured.

The sun was setting but Erica wasn't back yet, Rein had time so he went to the jewelry shop to sell the things he robbed from the auction in Goa 2 years ago. Rein was able to sell most of the stuff but he had too many valuables which would make the store run out of money to give. He could only sell half of his earnings from Goa, which gave a total of 605 million berries altogether.

Rein went back to his hotel after all was done, he wanted to hunt more pirates on this island tomorrow. After that, he wanted to get some information on where he could buy some Adams wood. Rein went into his bedroom and fell asleep instantly the minute he laid down!
