One Piece: The Power System

Rein and Erica both sat in the living room eating breakfast. At this point, a week had already passed since they've been here. Rein hunted pirates every day but wasn't done, once he was done hunting some more on this island, he wanted to hunt other pirates off-island.

Rein and Erica had made a name for themselves from the hunts they did on a daily basis. Strangely, the weather would always end up rainy when Rein hunted pirates, thus people started calling him RainMan! Rein didn't like this name but he could do nothing to change it, as for Erica, they called her Infernal Fist Erica!

Rein was a bit upset that he didn't get an amazing nickname like Erica but what could he do about it? He was given his nickname because of the coincidental weather and his name, how ridiculous! Erica went to hunt the Shanker pirates on her first go.

Erica walked into their hideout to see many women from the city had been kidnapped by them. There were some who had been tortured while some were played with by the pirates. They didn't kill them and would only torture them close to death before stopping.

For the first time, Erica was enraged and burned all of the pirates into ashes! She beat Jack the Shanker and wasted him soon after. Erica later brought him back to the marine building to be turned in. She freed the women kidnapped and has been called a hero by all the women in the city since then! Her fame is higher than anyone else in this city as of now, she even gets free stuff from the shops in the city every now and then.

Rein noticed that he wasn't getting any more rewards from hunting pirates with berries of 20 million or lower at this point. "I'll have to hunt a more dangerous target on this island, then we can get some information on where I can purchase Adams wood." Rein started to look through the pile of wanted posters soon after.

"I think we should hunt the next target together, I believe we should have enough money at this point, so why not?" Erica made a suggestion, they had hunted pirates separately for this past week and she felt like they should hunt together.

"Sure!" Rein didn't look up and continue to skim through the posters. Erica got up and stretched with some tea in her hand, taking a sip every now and then.

"Found our next target, his name Kalibak The Almighty!" The pirates had a bounty of 22 million berries! The marines in this city even feared to go against him. The World government didn't send high ranking soldiers to the east blue or any of the blues for that matter. To them, their attention was more focused on the new world and some parts of the grand line.

"No much information on this guy's combat power but he shouldn't be a problem." Rein stood and stretched "Erica, you ready to head the Bounty Hunter Guild?" Erica downed her tea swiftly.

"Refreshing! Yes, let's go!" Rein and Erica left their hotel back to the bounty guild. As they were walking down the street they caught the attention of most people on the street. This was mainly so for Erica who had grown quite famous in just one week.

"Look, it's Infernal Fist Erica, she's so beautiful!" A man looked over and was loved struck instantly.

"She is the hero and idol of all women, you men can back off right now!" Some women ridiculed in disdain.

"F.u.c.k! Look who she is with, isn't that the Demon Rein Man!" A fat man pointed and said, "I heard that he's crazy and kills for the fun of it!" The man looked at Rein and shivered seeing the masked figure. Many people backed away after they noticed Rein, he had taken down some notorious pirates in this one week and many deemed him as a demon!

"I haven't even become a pirate yet and my reputation is already trashed!" Rein whispered to himself, wasn't he doing the right thing by taking down pirates? How did he become a demon!? Well, it was bound to happen anyway, so he didn't think about it afterward.

Eventually, they made it back to the Bounty Guild. As soon as they walked in, all eyes were on them. Many of the bounty hunters began to whisper to each other as Rein and Erica took a seat at the bar counter. The bartender walked over with a smile on his face, Rein usually came here for information and he would get paid for saying what he knew.

"Rein, what will it be today?" Before Rein could speak, the bounty hunter guild door was opened. The man from a week ago had returned, it was Vindicate, he walked up to the bar and took a seat two seats over from Rein and Erica.

"What can I get for you, Vin?"

"I'll take the apple-flavored wine for today."Vindicate casually said. The bartender quickly gave him his wine and went back to Rein to speak.

"As I was asking, what did you want again?"

"Just some information on this pirate known as Kalibak The Almighty." Rein didn't know where this guy was located on this island since it wasn't written on the notes that the bartender usually gave him.

"I didn't give you any notes for him because he moves from time to time, so it's hard to pinpoint him." This particular pirate liked to smuggle the most, such as weapons, slaves, poisonous drugs and more.

"Well, could you tell me the route he usually takes to do his little business?" Rein asked. The bartender pulled out a map and circled the routes the pirates usually appeared for business transactions.

"Take the C gate, this is where their routes are located, you should be able to catch them around there." The bartender said and continued "Be careful, he has a lot of men at his disposal which is one of the reasons he is so hard to take down. Don't let his bounty fool you one bit," The Bartender warned

Rein slid him some berries and looked over at Vindicate. "You hear that, are you game to join us or do you want to drink here all day?" Vindicate finished his cup of wine and looked over at Rein and Erica with a grin.

"Naturally, I'll be joining you, I'm all about that action, so I can't miss out!" Rein had invited him to do a bounty mission with him 3 days ago and he completed it much faster. Erica nodded and stood up to shake Vindicate's hand since this was the first time she met him.

"Welcome aboard Vindicate!" Erica smiled and said

"Nice to meet you too, Erina!" Vindicate nodded

"It's Erica!" Erica said with a smile

"Oh, okay, my bad!" The group left the Guild to head towards the C gate. Once they were out of the city, Rein examined the island map that was given to him.

"Hmm, Erica, you take it, you're way better with maps than I am." Erica took the map to examine it, she immediately pointed in the direction they need to go to. Just like any other time they left the city, the walkway would disappear, they eventually made it to a beach shore.

"I don't see anything, are you sure this is the right place the map described?" Vindicate saw the empty shore and wondered if Erica made a mistake or something. The beach was kind of foggy and hard to see through, this could be from it raining so much these days.

"Trust me, this is the place for sure." Erica was certain, it even showed the beach area on the map, this had to be it. Right as she said that, three pirate sh.i.p.s began to draw closer to the beach area. The jolly roger of the sh.i.p.s had a skull with two fists behind it. The symbol was similar to the prestige 6 from black ops 1.

The group hid in the bush, waiting to see what was going to happen. The three sh.i.p.s soon docked near the shore. Many pirates got off the ship carrying crates of who knows what to the shore.

"The buyer should show up in 1 hour, we'll have to wait here until then, hehe!" The men sat the crate down as another duo of men brought another crate over. This process continued for some time before they stopped. The men on these sh.i.p.s were quite many but Rein had no fear of their numbers.

"Jeez, there are so many of them, can we take them down?" Vindicate was surprised to see so many pirates, the bartender was right, this pirate crew had too many people and was not to be underestimated!

"Oh, are you scared Vindicate?" Rein looked at Vindicate with a grin that mocked a bit.

"I fear no evil!" Vindicate drew his guns, he looked ready to fight.

"Okay, here is the plan, we'll have to make one of these sh.i.p.s ours, the biggest one in the middle will be it. Don't destroy the other sh.i.p.s, they may have some treasure on it we can sell." Erica and Vindicate agreed to this but this was not all to the plan.

"Vindicate, you stay here and snipe people from this position, me and Erica can handle the rest" Vindicate didn't see anything wrong with this plan, this would allow him to sharpen his marksmen skill from certain ranges.

"Let's go!"

"Infernal Fist!"

A scorching sound effect could be heard and suddenly the pirates were blown away.

"AH! We're under attack!" The men pulled out their pistol to take aim but were frozen on the spot.

"Erica, you head towards the ship, I'll clean up here!" Several men began to pour out of the ship like ants in an anthill!

"Geppo!" Erica Geppo'ed over to the ship off the right and started to attack people on the ship. All one could see was black flames exploding on the deck and screams of dread.

Ten men jumped off the middle ship with axes and swords in their hands. They were visibly angry and ready kill.

Bang!

Bang!

Several Gunshots sprang out and 4 men drop dead on the spot!

"SNIPER!" One of the pirates hollered to warn his allies of the threat in the shadows.

"Kill that man and fire the cannon towards the forest, I'll like to see how this bastard can hide then!" Suddenly, a man in a black typical pirate outfit appeared from the middle ship which was the largest. His expression was fierce with anger, how dare these fools ruin his business!?

Bang!

Bang!

The men began to bring the cannon over but both of the men were shot dead by the sniper!

"F.u.c.k! Someone kill that son of uh b****!" Suddenly an explosion occurred as men from the neighboring ship were blown overboard and into the water screaming. This was Erica, she had basically beaten everyone on the ship by now and was trying to avoid destroying the ship.

Suddenly a shadow appeared over Captain Kalibak, he immediately pulled out his sword and clashed with the person wanting to sneak attack him. What he was met with was Rein's sword and his sword clashing. He felt his bone shake from the clash and was shocked!

"Who are you!?" Kalibak was nervous now, his men were being suppressed by someone with fire on one of his sh.i.p.s while anyone onshore was being sniped like it was target practice!

"Ah, just a regular bounty hunter, and you're the big target today!" Rein began to push Kalibak back with a smile on his face, he soon ignited his sword which cut right through Kalibak's sword and onto his shoulder!

Shing!

"AH!" Kaliback screamed as he caught on fire, he struggled and soon fell off the ship into the water. At this time, everyone on the shore was killed on the spot by Vindicate. He showed no mercy for pirates and killed them without a shred of decency. These were the type of people that raided his village long ago, so he had no grace for them.

Erica had already power jumped to the next ship to clear it of the pirates. None stood a chance, guns and swords were useless if they managed to hit Erica or Rein. The pirates were soon defeated in a matter of ten minutes!

Captain Kaliback had terrible 2nd-degree burns, it was questionable if he would survive or not. Rein simply put him into his storage since he was knocked out. Once he returned to the city, he would simply dump him and collect the bounty. He would split it with Vindicate and be on his way.

[Congratulations Rein, you've defeated The Mighty Pirates, you've received: 2 Attribute Points!

[Congratulations Rein, you've defeated The Mighty Pirates, you've received: 12,000 System Points!

The group met up on the ship, Erica had caused a decent amount of burns to appear on the two other sh.i.p.s. "You two are some serious freaks, and what is that black fire I saw you using earlier?" Vindicate was sure he saw some black fire on Erica's body, this was so when she jumped so high towards the next ship, he was truly shocked!

"Hehe, I'll tell you later but for now, let's get our job done!" Erica didn't give it away, she wanted to keep it on the low, so she dodged the question. Vindicate shrugged helplessly as the group entered separate sh.i.p.s, Rein entered the middle and biggest ship while they entered the two off to each side.

"Hmm, what's in this treasure c.h.e.s.t?" Rein saw a treasure c.h.e.s.t at the bottom of the ship when he went downstairs. "This thing isn't easy to open, he was probably delivering this as well but too bad, it failed." Rein forcefully pried it open and it revealed what Rein was to use to seeing.

Devil Fruit!
