One Piece: The Power System

Erica told Nami the coordinates to Castleford Island which Nami easily picked up on. Nami simply steered the ship in the right direction. At this time, Nojiko and Kuina were debating on how the Jolly roger flag should look and what they should be called as pirates.

"I think we should be called Sword God pirates!" Kuina nodded and gave her suggestion.

"We all don't use swords here so a name like that is impossible." Nojiko wasn't fond of swords, she wasn't fond of weapons in general.

"I think we should make the jolly Roger first and give ourselves a name afterward." Rein cut in and said.

"Well, how do you think the flag should look then?" Kuina was good at drawing and so was Nami.

"Hmm.." Rein began to think, how should he make his flag look? "Make the flag itself black, then give it a cold and hot vibe for a description." Rein wasn't sure how it should look so he could only give them this much of what he knew.

"Cold and Hot? Hmm, I think I have an idea on how the flag should look!" Nojiko's eyes flashed as a smile appeared on her face. "You can draw, right, Kuina? If so, let's draw it out first, then make the flag, and eventually the name of the crew." Kuina nodded, this was a good idea.

The two left to a quiet place to begin their work while Erica stood with Nami. Erica remembered her terrible use of the map and just watched Nami at work. Rein just sat at the table looking at more bounty pictures, he wasn't planning on hunting any more people. He just liked looking through the bounties.

"Nami, you're pretty good with that compass, I'm guessing you're more of a navigator than anything?" Erica said

Nami nodded "Yes, this is one of the reasons I was recruited by him, he took a liking to my ability. I did many jobs on the sea like robbing people, well crimes, that's all I did." Nami sighed, what else could she do, but she did like money anyway.

"Well, from what I heard there are bigger places to go to and not just this small east blue. Hehe, we'll still be able to rob pirates and marines if they have any valuables on them but for now, we'll wait until we become official."

"Now that sounds like fun, I can't wait." Nami couldn't agree more, robbing pirates wasn't bad at all, they more than likely stole it in the first place. Nami and Erica continued to talk about many subjects including martial arts.

Rein recalled that she used some sort of wand back in the original continuity. "Maybe I'll just give her a better one if it's on the system or something." Rein wasn't certain but he'll check it just to be sure, she needed something to defend herself if no one else could.

"I noticed the damage to the side of the ship, what happened for it to end up like that?" Nami had noticed this a while back but didn't ask. She had to know so she asked after holding it in for so long.

"Simple pirate attack, it was the pirate group we turned in back on the island. You saw them already when they appeared out of nowhere." Erica jogged Nami's memory about yesterday when those pirates suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ah, it was them, so I'm guessing they attacked first, right?"

"Yup," Nami wanted to have it repaired, it was too ugly to look at.

Time passed and they were still talking to each other, but they were closing in on Castleford Island. The group could finally see the island in the distance, it was the same as always but there was one change.

"Huh! Why are there marine sh.i.p.s around the island?" Erica used a spyglass to get a better visual and discovered marine sh.i.p.s.

"Marines?" Rein stood up and walked over to Nami and Erica. Nami couldn't see anything from afar, she could barely see the island, it looked like a dot to her.

"Why are there so many of them, did something happen? Marines don't usually do this type of thing unless it is something big." Rein was a bit suspicious but didn't mind it since he wasn't an official pirate yet. Also, Nezumi can't return to base for a bit until he untied himself and got a new ship since it was destroyed by Erica yesterday.

"Just ignore them and dock near the island, it shouldn't be a problem." Rein went back to his seat after giving his orders.

Nami kept steering the ship in the same direction, she was eventually able to see the Marines and the island fully. However, the Marines ship started to close in on them from ahead. There were a total of three sh.i.p.s approaching them.

"Sir, that ship, it fits the description we're looking for but the damage to the size isn't part of the description." A marine soldier used his spyglass and confirmed that this was the ship they were looking for.

"You idiot, of course the damage wasn't in the description, it must have just happened on their way here. They're pirate hunters, after all, but they massacre a whole village which makes them criminals!" Lieutenant Commander Kled hated pirates the most, if he could get rid of or capture them, he may get a promotion.

"Lieutenant Commander Kled, Maybe we should call Commander Neegan, these people aren't something we can deal with." Lieutenant Junior Richard had heard of the reputation of these bounty hunters. Infernal Fist Erica and Rain Man, this wasn't a group they could just beat with ease.

"Junior, stop being a wimp, we have the number advantage and we have tons of weapons, we'll blast them into submission!" Kled Grinned and picked up a DenDen Mushi and ordered the sh.i.p.s to fire at Rein's ship.

Boom!

Boom!

Several cannons were fired at Rein's ship. Nami and Erica were startled by the bombardment.

"What the heck, are they shooting at us?" Rein looked up in surprise, what was going on?

"They are sho.."

Boom!

Nami didn't get to finish when a cannonball hit the side of their ship!

"Ah!" Nami covered her head and moved away swiftly.

"What in the world, we don't even have pirates flag up and they're attacking us!" Erica didn't understand, they didn't have a flag up, so why?

"Erica, let's blow them out of the water!" Erica nodded after hearing Rein's blunt statement.

Suddenly they both moved to the very front of the ship. Rein and Erica raised their hands up into the sky and fire appeared in both their hands, they were fusing them together.

"Nami, you may wanna step back, hehe!" Nami said right and moved away quickly.

Black and Orange flames combined to look like a death ball from DBZ!

"Sir, what the hell is that, do you see what I'm seeing!?" Richard was shocked to the extreme, did they have some sort of hyper cannon on board? He wasn't using his spyglass so he couldn't see that there were actually two people making this.

Kled grabbed his Denden Mushi and screamed for his troops to spread out and retreat. He was sweating bullets, he had never seen a weapon like this before, it looked to dangerous to be in anyone's hands.

"Asahi~~!"

Just like that, the destructive death ball was released! Winds kicked up as the light from the death ball was blinding. Nami had her mouth open in awe, her eyes dilated as she remained silent.

"Sweet God, what is that ball of destruction, is it the sun!?"

"F.u.c.k, Abandon Ship!"

Kled wasn't about to take this attack head-on, he wasn't stupid, if that hit his ship they were toast, literally! The ball of death had already drawn close at this point.

BOOM!

With a deaf shrieking explosion, the ball hit the middle ship that led the group of marine sh.i.p.s. The nearby sh.i.p.s were incinerated on the spot, and those who didn't jump into the water on time were doomed to death.

Nami held on the ship railing, she was going to be blown away by the wind and shockwaves if she didn't. All that could be seen was a huge orange and black ball of fire sinking into the ocean. The fireball detonated and a pillar of fire shot out of the sea. The sh.i.p.s were no more, there had been people watching from the shore with complete shock. Their hearts were racing, they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"D-Did you see that!? It was a huge ball of hellfire!"

"Dead! Friggin Dead!" That was all this one guy could say, nothing could survive that attack according to him.

"The marines were wiped out like they were trash, could it be that they were waiting for that ship this whole time?" Some middle man sighed, the marines were up against a powerful foe this time, how could they cope?

"These pirates are getting stronger and stronger by the years, the world is ending for sure!" A middle-aged woman was sweating profusely as she spoke. In fact, everyone present was sweating, they could easily feel several heatwaves from the huge fireball.

Back on the sea, Nami immediately steered the ship towards the dock. Kuina and Nojiko ran out of their seclusion with strange expressions. "What in the actual hell was those explosion and shock waves, I hit my head twice!" Kuina held her head in pain, she was trying to draw the pirate flag until the ship and the area shook around her and Nojiko. Nojiko was fortunate and landed on a soft couch but Kuina wasn't so lucky, her head slammed right through two walls.

Erica began to relay what happened while Rein walked up to Nami. "Did you see that? People can use powerful abilities like that, I think it would be wise to learn to be that strong, what do you think?" Rein wanted Nami to train and be different from how she originally turned out to be. Change was good but only Nojiko showed great interest in martial arts.

"That was crazy? Is it even possible for me to ever do anything like that?" Nami was speechless and didn't ask them about what they had just done. She realized that there were forces that she couldn't cope with if she didn't get strong.

"Yes, I want to train now if I can get power like what you just showed me!" Nami agreed instantly. When she was with Luffy she didn't know much about these things until much later. But at that point, it was already too late to train, there was no time for it as they continued their adventure.

She was the navigator and had to be at work all the time, this was definitely so for Luffy and the crew's terrible sense of direction. When could she find the time to train? She just left it to Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy to do the fighting for her.

"Haha Perfect! You won't regret your decision." Rein patted her on the back and laughed. Soon, they were docked at the shore. Rein wasn't worried about a superior threat in the east blue but they could still destroy his ship if he left it around.

"Erica, you stay here and guard the ship. Kuina, you come with me, we need to get some information on the island known as Myriad Island and why is it that there are so many marines around." No one would recognize him with this armor on, but he liked it like that. Rein was cautious, what if the marines were really after him when they attacked. They would recognize Erica if she came with him, but in his new suit, they wouldn't know anything.

"Okay, cool, me and Nami will play a game of cards, hehe!" Erica chuckled

"Hoho, do you think you have the ability to beat me, we'll see if you can handle me!" Nami smiled and they both went to take a seat. Just when Rein and Kuina were about to leave, Nojiko spoke up.

"Wait, we need many things for the ship, we need cooking pots, cooking pan, new stove, we need.." Rein interrupted her, she was about to run down a list for days.

"Okay, I understand, we're poor as shit. I'll give you some belies to buy everything we need, this includes food from the city." Rein understood that the stove on the ship was an old thing that was dirty and starting to fall apart.

"Erica, can you give Nojiko your storage ring so she can go shopping in bulwark city?" Erica nodded and tossed her ring to Nojiko who caught it with ease.

"Good looking out!"

"I gotcha, bro!" Erica said with a smile.

Nojiko, Rein, and Kuina followed the walkway to Bulwark City. They soon arrived at the A Gate, they didn't hesitate to walk through it. Rein received many strange stares, his dress code wasn't of the norm at all for anyone here.

The suit he was wearing could also alter his voice to sound like a completely different person, it made his voice deep. Rein made his way to the Bounty Hunter Guild while Nojiko left elsewhere to buy things. She was accompanied by Kuina who would protect her just in encase. Rein gave Nojiko ฿7 Million to go shopping with, it was more than enough.

Rein slowly walked in the bounty guild and like always, they all looked his way. However, everyone had strange expressions on, his wardrobe wasn't exactly something anyone could take their eyes off of. Rein walked up the bartender counter and the same man known as the bartender was there.

"What can I get for ya?" The bartender's voice sounded strange, it didn't sound too happy at all.

"I'm not here for a drink, I'm here for information!" Rein took out some Belis and slid them to the bartender like he used to do.

The bartender smiled and said "My kinda guy, what would you like to know?"

"Well first, I want to know why there are so many marines around the island, did something happen?" This was a strange phenomenon, the marines didn't even do this to the pirates on the island, even though they were clearly aware of them.

The bartender's face changed, he seemed to be in a dilemma. The bartender looked around and signaled Rein to follow him. Rein followed him to a secluded area and he began to speak.

"This is some really crazy information so I'll tell you a little unless you offer me more money." The bartender said.

Rein nodded and said nothing. "It's about a bounty hunter named Vindicate, they say he slaughtered a whole village in cold blood and now the marines wanted to catch him but they're waiting for someone else." The Bartender was breathing roughly but Rein was shocked!

"Tell me more!" Rein hurriedly said.

"Between you and me, I don't believe a single bit of it! Vindicate was approached by a butler who wanted him to get rid of some bandits and pirates around a village but he was somehow later deemed as a mass murderer." Rein was silent, this didn't sound right, what was going on here.

"What else." Rein said bluntly, but the bartender put up his finger signaling Rein to pay up for extra information. He gave the man some more belies for him to speak.

"I heard that the butler was going around with some other men to figure out who took down the mighty pirates. One of the men saw the crest on him and confirmed that he was from a noble family called the RoseFett Family."

The bartender's breathing became rougher, he clearly knew that Vindicate was being framed and so did everyone else in the bar, surprisingly. Though they were scared of Vindicate, they weren't stupid, they had commons sense and this didn't make sense at all.

"Motherf.u.c.ker!" Rein face turned cold under his helmet! It made sense to him right away, the mighty pirates were doing business with that noble and he rained on their parade by ruining it. The guy must have wanted that Devil Fruit that Rein stole that day.

The bartender was startled hearing Rein's sudden cold voice and change in behavior.

"Anything else!" Rein asked

"We heard that... he was caught yesterday by the marines and handed over to the noble." The bartender could barely get those words out.

"Hahaha! Thank you!" Rein laughed and slid the bartender some more belies before leaving. The bartender was stunned, what was that just now!? But Rein's voice changed to his original voice with those last words. The bartender felt like he heard that voice before and soon his face changed greatly once he realized who it was.

Rein walked outside. "Little nobles, you're playing with fire!" Rein smiled and walked off.
