⭑System Update Version 1

"Oh, System Update, so there is a higher version than this." Rein noticed the zero in the corner but didn't think much of it as he believed that was just something natural and unchangeable. "So it was the version of the system the whole time, how high can the system go?" Rein whispered to himself, he didn't think too hard about something he couldn't figure out and turned to leave.

Rein robbed the ship again before leaving, the pirates were quite poor and his bounty was only 10 million berries, that wasn't even higher than Blue Jam's Bounty!

"What poor ghost, the guy could barely afford a pair of shoes!" Rein sighed in pity just thinking about Cutthroat's pitiful expression before he knocked him out but it was still funny. He remembered the biscuits that Cutthroat was wearing, Rein didn't kill him because he was a sad existence, maybe killing him would put him out of his sad and pitiful life.

Rein and Erica returned to the ship. There was minor damage on the side of the ship. It was nothing serious but it made this ship look a little unpleasant to the eyes. "Erica, melt the ice so we can get out of here, we have many places to go, hehe!" Rein was eager, he had just thought of something. Maybe he would have to start to gather his crew early to set out after he takes care of somethings.

Rein went back to his room as Erica destroyed and melted the ice to continue their journey. They were about an hour away from Conomi Islands so he analyzed the system a bit. Rein had noticed that he had Rokushiki martial on the system but Martial Arts like Hasshoken were not on the system no matter how many times he searched for it.

"The doesn't have everything, maybe this feature will be added when the update comes." Rein speculated, there was no fish-man Karate here, there was nothing of this sort but there was boxing, the style Foxy and Franky used often for combat.

Rein yawn "For now, I'll focus on Rokushiki and Haki, as for swordsmanship, this will be leveled up in time." Rein was going to get a swordsman for his crew anyway, why exude so much effort to level it up at this time? Rein mainly used his Rokushiki techniques in combat anyway and had yet to make himself a sword.

"I'll make myself a sword when I actually start using my sword, that would make more sense." For him, there was no point in creating something he wasn't going to use unless he was really trying to deal a killing blow to someone. He leveled up his swordsmanship last time because he usually formed swords from fire to use, so his decision to level it up last time wasn't wrong.

Rein laid on the bed to rest his eyes a bit until he actually dozed off. Time quickly passed, and eventually, he heard a knock at his door. Rein got up to open the door, it was obviously Erica at the door.

"I guess we've made it to the island, right?" Rein stepped outside to ask

"Yes, we've made it to the Island, we've actually docked near some shore. I went to check it out, and I saw a huge valley with a village below it." Erica had decided to venture out to check the surroundings before waking Rein up.

"Oh, it was like that." Rein stretched and yawned "Okay, let me put my shoes and socks on, and I'll be right there." Erica nodded and went back to the deck of the ship. Rein got ready shortly after and arrived at the deck of the ship.

"This is a nice island, let's go to where you were talking about." Rein and Erica jumped off the ship but the minute they did that, they saw an old monk emerging from the forest. He wore orange with black shoes, he had a bald head with a slightly wrinkled face.

"Travelers from the sea, you've come from afar to be here, welcome!" The old man greeted them with a smile. "Where might you travelers be heading to at this time?" The monk questioned, maybe he could help them to their destination.

"Yes, thanks old man, we're just heading to Cocoyashi village!" Rein was sure that the village Erica had spotted wasn't Cocoyashi village, this was a big island so the chances of just finding it on the first try was too low.

"Cocoyashi village? Hmm, there is no such village on this island, not that I've heard of." The monk shook his head, he'd lived here all his life, so he would know.

"I thought Conomi Island would have Cocoyashi village, did something go wrong?" Rein was stunned and found himself in a dilemma.

"Conami Island? This is Seiiki Island, Conomi Island is further west!" The man scratched his head in confusion, were these people lost?

"What? So this is the wrong island?" Rein looked over at Erica who started to sweat beads, she pulled out the map.

"Impossible, I read the map perfectly, how could it be wrong?" Rein looked at the map Erica was holding and his face twitched excessively.

"Erica, you're holding the map upside down again!" Rein frowned, what kind of bad habits was this!? They had gone in the complete opposite direction of where they were supposed to go!

"AH!" Erica's body shook

"I-I" She couldn't even finish her sentence and put her head down.

"Forget it, Old man, what is the village called down the valley, could you tell us this much?" Rein shook his head, they needed a navigator bad, if this keeps up, they may get lost so bad that they may end up in the Fairy Tail world!

"Ah, yes, that village, it is called Shimotsuki Village! It's a really quiet and easy-going place, I can take you there if you need some help." The man spoke kindly with a warm smile on his face.

Rein felt like he heard that name before.

Shimotsuki Village

"Ah, now I remember, it's the village where Zoro trained as a swordsman with Kuina in her father's dojo!" At this point, Zoro was already a bounty hunter, he wanted to come back to this place to live but with his terrible sense of direction, he never found his way back. With that, he decided to become a pirate hunter to sharpen his skills.

"Thanks, old man, please guide us to the village." Rein agreed, he had some questions anyway. Erica seemed to still be saddened about her mistake, she looked like she was in deep thought.

Author Note: The Island of the Zoro's training school was never confirmed in the anime or manga, so I'll call it Seiiki Island for now. This means Sanctuary in Japanese, so Sanctuary Island.

"Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes from time to time, it isn't a big deal. I'll just have to get a navigator when the time comes." Rein was thinking of having Laffitte as his navigator who was apart of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Erica took a deep breath and apologized for her mistake but Rein told her that it wasn't a big deal. The old man guided them to a pathway made of refined flat stone. They walked the pathway silently for a while until Rein asked

"Do you mind taking me to The Isshin Dojo in the village?"

"Oh, you want to train in swordsmanship, I heard they're the best school around when it comes to that." The monk agreed with Rein's decision to train at such a school, it would improve his strength greatly.

"Not to train but to talk with the dojo's owner about a couple of things."

"Oh okay, this is okay as well, the master of the dojo is a very open person but kinda depressed at the same time." The monk sighed, he knew what events had occurred those years ago. Rein understood instantly why the dojo master would be so depressed.

After walking on the path for about thirty minutes or so, they arrived at Shimotsuki Village. "This way, I'll guide you both to the Dojo in the village." The monk waved his hand and continued to walk. The houses were just like the houses in old Japanese history. There were also shrines and large fields where they grew their food.

Many people didn't pay attention to Erica and Rein since they didn't look out of place to anyone. However, the monk was approached and greeted a lot on the way, he seemed to have made a name for himself in this village. Apparently, the monk's name was Yoji Fujin, as they called him Old Monk Fujin. Rein wasn't too educated on the cultures of the world and wondered if the Japanese had anything to do with monks, wasn't that more of the Chinese culture?

Soon, they arrived at a bridge where they could see a gate and walled off residential area. This was the Isshin Dojo that Rein was talking about going to. The group crossed the little bridge and the monk knocked on the huge door.

After some time, the door was slowly opened and what appeared were two men wearing Grey Hitatare clothing. One of the men was skinny while the other was fat, it made for a strange scene when they appeared.

"Oh, Old Monk Yoji, what brings you here of all times?" The man's voice sounded really deep like he needed some night quill.

"These two young lads would like to meet the headmaster of the school, Koushirou." Yoji said plainly.

"Huh!" Both men looked at Rein and Erica and nodded "Younglings wanting to join our Dojo, this is the best time to train." The Fatman gave an approving smile.

"Yes, it'll be nice to have some beauties in our Dojo as well, a sight for the eyes, hehe!" The skinny tall man looked at Erica deeply, he scanned all the parts of her body and gave a thumbs up.

"Ah!" Erica backed away and covered herself. Her face was filled with disgust looking at the skinny man.

"Can you take us to the headmaster already?" Rein smiled seeing Erica's funny reaction, he had never seen her act like that before. The skinny man didn't seem to mind Erica's disgust and smiled, which showed a row of yellow stinky teeth.

"Right this way!" The Fatman shook his head and waved his hand towards the two to follow him. As they were walking away, the skinny man was checking Erica out from behind.

"Wow, nice and plump, it's way better than any of the women in this village!" The Skinny Man's face turned red as he licked his lips. Erica didn't hear the man or see what he was doing but she felt a chill run down her back out of nowhere.

They quickly made it to a residence, everyone took off their shoes before entering. It was just Rein, Erica and the Fatman at this point. They were eventually upon a door that could be slid open, the fat man got on his knees and spoke.

"Master Koushirou, we have guess that would like to meet you."

"Oh, are they people signing up to join the school? If they are, then we'll have them take the test to see if they're worthy!" Koushirou spoke behind the door

"You guys may come in, let me see our new recruits." The Fatman stood up and looked at Erica and Rein, he nodded and opened the door. And there he was, the father of Kuina from the show, he looked like he aged quite a bit from the stress levels.

"Hmm, not bad, your ages are the best time to start swordsmanship, how fortunate you are." Koushirou smiled and signaled the Fatman to leave, he bowed and departed just like that.

"We usually don't have people come to join our school out of nowhere so this could be considered a special occasion," Koushirou had his hands cuffed as he looked at the two with approval.

"Uh, I'm not here to join the school, I'm here to talk." Rein bluntly said

"What? You're not here to join the school?" Koushirou said, "What a pity, I feel like you have so much potential." He didn't put Erica in his eyes but fawned over Rein, he believed her ability would be limited in the future since she was a woman.

Koushirou sighed "So what do you want to talk about?" Koushirou stood up and walked to the corner to grab some tea.

"Well, it's about your daughter Kuina, I would like to see her grave." Koushirou froze when he heard his daughter's name.

"Why would an outsider want to see my daughter? You don't even know her!" Koushirou face changed a bit but he still tried to retain his smile.

"Simple, I want her to join my future pirate crew, she'll be the swordman of my crew." Rein yawned and said. Koushirou's face finally couldn't keep its smile, and his face turned cold.

"Boy! This isn't the time to be talking nonsense, do you know where you are? You know nothing!?" Koushirou started to feel rage hearing this kid's crazy talk, was he trying to make a joke out of his dead daughter to mess with him!?

"Mr. Koushirou, I can tell you that I know quite a lot. I know that you supplied the Revolutionary Army with supplies some years ago, you gave them food and medicine for the people in Gray Terminal, right?" Rein looked at Koushirou indifferently and said.

"W-What!? How could you know that, are you a spy for the government!?" Koushirou frowned and his eyes turned sharp, it looked like he wanted to attack Rein. Erica clenched her fist. The minute this man got out of hand, she would go on the offensive.

"Wow there buddy, I told you that I'm a pirate, stop making stuff up and listen." Rein said, "Right now I'm just posing as a bounty hunter but I'm secretly building my crew." Rein shrugged and pointed to the tea in Koushirou's hand signaling him to pour him some.

Koushirou Poured Rein and Erica a cup of tea and spoke "Sorry to rain on your parade but my daughter is dead." Koushirou downed his tea after he spoke.

"What if I told you have I have a god-like medicine that can bring her back, what do you say to that?" Rein whispered and said.

"I would say you're bullshitting me!" Koushirou couldn't believe it, a medicine that could bring a person back from the dead? Impossible!

"Take me to her grave and we'll see." Koushirou looked at Rein for a bit and nodded soon after, he had nothing to lose, so why not? Moments later, they appeared by her grave where she had been buried.

"Erica, let's dig it up!" Rein tossed her a shovel he bought when he was a kid and they both started to dig the grave up.

"What the f.u.c.k are you two doing!?" Koushirou was shocked!

"Calm down, this is the way to bring her back!" Rein didn't look back and kept digging. Soon, a corpse was revealed, it was Kuina's body.

"Watch and learn!" Rein pulled out the Water of Life!

[Water Of Life]

[Rank: Demi-God]

[The Water Of Life is an extremely Powerful Liquid capable of bringing those who have died back to life.

[Water Of Life Rules]

• It can only bring a person back from the dead that has been dead for 15 Years or less.

• This water will revert someone back to the age they were meant to be before they died. This means that they'll be an older version of themselves once they come back.

• To change to the second rule, you may spend some system points in order for them to remain as they were when they died.

Rein didn't want Kuina to be a young girl when she came back, so he chose to let her be an older version of herself. Rein poured the pure clear and sparkly water on Kuina's body, almost instantly, her flesh started to reappear swiftly growing back!

"HAHAHA!" Rein laughed seeing such a miracle.
