One Piece: The Power System

Rein walked through the streets swiftly, but he didn't know the location of the Rosefett residents. All he could do was ask a few people around him. Most would keep their distance when they saw him walking down the street. Rein sighed and saw a middle-aged man outside next to his food stand.

"Yo, old man, Could you tell me the location of the Rosefett Residence? I can slide you a few belies if you can tell me." Rein didn't want to ask the bartender about the Rosefett family. He felt like he asked him enough, so he decided to take his chances with someone on the street.

"I'm only 32, how in the hell am I old!?" The man was suddenly angered after being called old.

"Oh, well anyway, could you tell me or not?"

"Damn! Of course, if you can slide me a few belies like you said then I would be more than happy to tell you." The man shook his head looking at Rein who completely ignored his question. Rein gave the man a few belies and he began to speak.

Apparently, it was a huge mansion in the city near the C-gate, while the Malone residence was near the D-gate. So, the RoseFett family residence was located near the C-gate, the man gave him great detail of the location.

"Hmm, Why do you want to know the location so badly, are you a business partner with them of something?" The man felt like this was the only reason anyone would look for them. I mean, who would dare to start trouble with them.

"Yes, we are business partners, thanks for the help!" Rein walked off after saying his last bit of words.

"Jeez, people these days are getting weirder and weirder." The middle-aged man shook his head and put the belies into a big bag of money, it looked like he was saving up.

This city was pretty big, so it would take Rein about twenty to thirty minutes to reach the C gate. While he was walking, he spotted two familiar figures coming out of a shop. This was obviously Kuina and Nojiko who were in the middle of shopping.

Rein called out to them and they both turned to him right after. "Oh, Rein, did you finish up on what you were doing?" Nojiko asked and said.

"No, there is still a part two to what I need to do. A buddy of mine was captured because of the last job we did. Now he is being framed by some noble and some corrupted marines."

"What? Wait, are you going to go look for them for trouble to get this guy?" Kuina's eyes grew wide, there was excitement in them, she was clearly looking for trouble herself.

"Haha, that's right, it's a good thing I spotted you guys on my way there. It's best you get what you need fast because things are about to get really bad." Rein was about to cause a ruckus, it wasn't going to be good for them if they stayed on this island.

"Oh, yeah! This is my kinda fight, let's go together!" Kuina smiled and gripped her sword that was sheathed to her side.

"For sure, but Nojiko might need you, so?"

"It's okay, I will be going to two more stores then I'll head back to the ship immediately." Nojiko didn't have the strength to protect herself yet so she would easily become a simple target for anyone.

At that moment, marines could be seen running down the street, they ran right pass everyone. They were heading toward the A-gate, it was obvious what they were going there to do. "Nojiko, here are some extra belies, go buy some Denden Mushis, we'll need two of them!" Rein handed some more money to Nojiko to buy some DenDen Mushi, they were quite expensive.

"Okay, I'll hop right on it!" Nojiko left right after and all that remained was Kuina and Rein. Rein had no problem taking Kuina, she needed the experience and she was apart of his crew now. She was going to face this situation sooner or later, so why not sooner?

"Let's go!" Rein could only hope Erica was on her guard when those marines attacked. He was confident in her ability so there was no need to worry for her, but Nami was a different story.

Rein and Kuina rushed off to the C-block near the C-gate.

Back on the sea where the destroyed and burning sh.i.p.s were, several men appeared on the surface of the water. "Damn, our sh.i.p.s were completely wiped out by that fireball, what the hell was that!?" This man was Kled who commanded the last attack on Rein's ship.

"Ah, sir, you're alive, what a relief!" Another man swam over to Kled, this was Richard the one who warned him about attacking them. He wanted to call Neegan for help but Kled didn't listen.

"Of course, I'm alive, let's get to shore and warn the rest, I sent out a message to the marines before the DenDen Mushi died." They both nodded and began to swim back to shore with some other marines that had survived Rein and Erica's attack.

However, at this time there was something else going on.

Rosefett Residence

Pow!

Slap!

"Pfft!" Vindicate, who just received a punch in the stomach and slap to the face, spat out blood. He had suffered being beaten for nearly twenty hours, it was surprising that he was still alive at this point, but he wouldn't bend no matter what!

"Tell us what you did with the magical fruit or we'll give you another beating!" The Two muscular men lavished beating this fool. They were true sadists that love this type of job the most, it had been a while since they had done this and they savored every bit of it.

"Hehe, piss off, I don't know what you're talking about and if I did, I wouldn't tell you two clowns anything, dance for me clown boys, hahaha!" Vindicate laughed with a pitful face filled with blood.

"Son of a bitch!" Vindicate hit their soft spots as they were both named Dōkeshi and Kuronī which meant Clownman and clowny in Japanese. This really pissed them off badly. Coldness flashed in their eyes and so did killing intent!

Author Note: Dōkeshi = Clownman Kuronī = Clowny

"Hold it right there guys!" At that time a man dressed in a Burgundy suit with a flower sticking out came in. He had black hair and black eyes, he had a cold grin on his face, he may look handsome but he was a pretty evil and corrupted fellow.

This was Marth Rosefett!

"Mister.. what was it? Vindicate? Whatever, I suggest you talk, what do you say?" Marth smiled awaiting Vindicate's answer.

"How many times do I have to tell you, I don't know anything about a Fruit! All we did was take down some pirates and nothing more, are you crazy!?" Vindicate was annoyed with this guy's smug smile, he really wished to punch this spoiled brat with all his remaining strength.

"Crazy!?" Marth almost lost his sanity hearing Vindicate speak to him like that, but if you ask me, I think that had long been lost!

"Hahaha! Since you won't talk, then I got something that'll jog that memory of yours!" Marth's face turned sinister and he clapped his hands. Once he did that, a man came in with seven children who were shivering in fear.

"Looks like the real fun's about to begin!" Dōkeshi laughed with joy, he couldn't wait to see Vindicate's reaction, yes, that would make him feel really good~~!

"What are you doing!? Don't go too far Marth, you spoiled piece of shit!" Vindicate cursed Marth in a vile manner with no restraint.

"How dare you speak to me like that, do you want to DIE!?" Marth almost vomited blood, he couldn't take being insulted. Who actually dared to ever talk to him like that? Not even his dad spoke to him like nor did he even hit him once, but some lowly commoner was talking down to him! Ridiculous!

"If after this you don't talk, I'll chop you into a thousand pieces, then I'll hunt your friends down!" Marth gritted his teeth and looked at the little kids.

"Bring the little girl over in the dirty white worn-out dress!" The man who brought them in nodded and dragged her over.

"No! Please, I wanna go home, where is my mommy?" The little girl had tears in her eyes, she and the rest of the kids here were the remaining survivors of that village. Vindicate went to investigate.

"Come here you little shit!" Marth forcefully pulled the girl's arm which caused her pain.

"Ah!"

"Now, listen to me, one last time, tell me or else!" Marth pulled out a pistol and aimed it at the kid's head while looking at Vindicate with the widest smile ever!

"You've really gone off the deep end!" Vindicate was startled seeing what this guy's means of getting information.

"I really don't know man, please, don't do this!" Vindicate started to beg but this made Dōkeshi and Kuronī so happy that they almost came in their pants, they simply loved this look the most!

"Yes, beg more, hahaha!" Kuronī couldn't hold it in and drooled, he felt a wave of delight running through his body.

"You don't know, huh?" Marth sighed then smiled after.

Bang!

Marth shot his gun but not at the girl in his grip but at a random boy standing with the other kids!

"Ah!"

"Mommy!"

"No, Peter!"

The other kids screamed out in total fear, the little boy dropped dead instantly, he didn't even know that he died!

"You're Crazy!" Vindicate's eyes turned bloodshot seeing the dead kid lying on the floor, this guy was completely evil, without the hope of redemption.

"Crazy!? Didn't I tell you not to call me that!"

Bang!

Another shot was fired and another kid dropped dead, it was a little girl this time. The barrel bullet went right through her head, she died completely!

"Pfft!"

Vindicate coughed up blood from anger!

Some of the kids lost consciousness from the bloody scene while some peed themselves in dread.

They couldn't even cry tears anymore.

"Now, it's this little girl's turn!" Marth smiled sinisterly and c.o.c.ked the pistol, ready to fire.

Suddenly, the door of the room was kicked open!

"What the hell is going here!?" This was Rein and Kuina who had just arrived. They fought their way through the mansion of guards. Rein looked at the dead kids on the floor in shock, Kuina was even more shocked, her eyes lost their light for an instant before they came back.

Rein looked over at the Vindicate who wasn't even looking at him. No, he was staring at Marth and the little girl he had as a hostage with bloodshot eyes and a beaten face.

"Who the f.u.c.k are you!? Trash these days have the nerve to break into other people's houses!?" Kuronī looked at Rein and Erica like they were dead people, no, he would torture them first and slowly killed them!

"Who did that to those kids?" Kuina drew her sword, she was outraged at the moment, she wanted to kill for some reason now.

"You peasants, you actually broke into my noble home! Are you sick of living!?" Marth pointed his gun at Kuina and shot!

Bang!

However, the bullet was blocked by Kuina, and she then rushed Marth to take him out.

"Oh, don't do that, remember, I still have this little kid here so you better not move or else, hehe!" Kuina stopped in her tracks, when suddenly she was attacked from behind but she easily deflected it.

"Not a bad woman, I'll enjoy capturing you for a good torture session! Oh, how I love women the most when it comes to that, their screams are the best!" Kuronī licked his sword and spoke with a lecherous smile.

"Ew, garbage like you shouldn't be qualified to live in this world!" Kuina spoke no more and engaged the man in a sword fight.

At this time, Dōkeshi looked at Rein who was staring at the little dead kids. "Fool! Don't be distracted, go die you dumbass!" Dōkeshi grabbed an axe that was on the wall nearby. This was a weapon they used for torture by cutting people's limbs off slowly.

However, Rein shot a fireblast at Dōkeshi who wasn't expecting something like this. Dōkeshi jumped out of the way with a satisfied smile and looked toward Rein. Sadly, Rein wasn't standing there anymore.

"What!?" Suddenly, the man pierced through the c.h.e.s.t!

"AH!" He was lifted off the ground from the piercing weapon, it was Rein's bone wings that pierced him. Dōkeshi's body was set ablaze, he screamed hysterically until his voice was no more.

⭑Congratulations Rein, you've killed Dōkeshi the Torturer, you've received: 10,000 System Points!

Kuronī turned around after hearing his brother scream.

"Brother!"

He wanted to turn to help but he was kicked in the face and sent flying upside down through the wall. Kuronī fainted from the powerful impact and wasn't waking up anytime soon. "Always keep your eye on the opponent or you'll be killed before you know it!"

Vindicate came out of his daze and looked at the Rein's figure. He didn't say anything, he was feeling really down right now. He couldn't recognize Rein anyway with the outfit he was wearing.

Suddenly more bodyguards stormed the room, it was about twenty of them. They were carrying weapons such as sword, pistol, and spears. They cut off all means of escape and were ready to attack upon the young master's orders.

"You pieces of shit actually attack my dogs and even killed one of them, I'll kill you all by starting with this little girl! HAHAHA!"

Rein face changed and so did Kuina's!

"No! Don't" Vindicate hollered.

Marth smiled coldly and c.o.c.ked his pistol back! Rein was about to make his move but suddenly!

"Noooo!"

A strange phenomenon took place, the environment changed color as the wind was kicked up out of nowhere. The sound of buzzing could be heard throughout the room. Then, people started fainted one at a time!

Rein was shocked!

Kuina grabbed her head, she felt a headache. All the men in the room and in the mansion fainted on the spot. The little girl being held hostage also fainted, including the kids that were still awake.

Conqueror Haki!

Vindicate had released and awakened Conquerors Haki!

Marth looked at all the fainted people with a stunned expression, he was still awake which indicated that he had a strong will. Rein didn't need to think and made his move to attack Marth. Rein kneed Marth in the stomach which almost made him shit his pants.

Marth slammed hard into the wall and screamed. He began to roll around in pain, Rein didn't use much force, but if he did, he would have broken all of his bones.

"Y-You DaRE!" Kuina stood up while holding her head and cut Vindicate loose. Vindicate picked up an axe from the ground and walked towards Rein and Marth.

"This trash can't be allowed to live!" Rein didn't stop him.

"Do you know who I am, I am the Rosefett families young ma.." He didn't get to finish when his head was decapitated from his body. Kuina backed away with a grossed-out expression on her face and went over to the fainted kids.

"I don't know who you are, but thanks." Vindicate was breathing roughly and sat down.

"We know each other, take a look for yourself." Rein removed his helmet to reveal his face.

"Gasp! It's you!" Vindicate's eyes grew as wide as they could since they were swollen.

"Yup, now do you understand the corruption of the marines and nobles? They set you up and was going to kill you and even killed these innocent children." Vindicate couldn't say anything, he would be deemed a criminal now, he didn't hesitate to kill this noble for his actions.

"We're both wanted people, so all we can be now is pirates, do you want to join my crew?" This man had just unlocked Conqueror Haki, this guy was a golden member for his crew, he had to have him.

"A pirates, this..." Vindicate couldn't believe it, he would really have to be a pirate. What choice did he have, he had also worked with Rein and Erica before so all he could do was agree, there were no more options.

"Haha, welcome to the crew, Vindicate!" Rein stuck his hand out toward Vindicate and helped him up.

"What are we going to do about those kids?" Vindicate was worried about the kids the most right now.

"We'll have that bartender take care of them, I'm sure he would do it." Rein said. He couldn't take kids with him, he wasn't a baby sitter. He was going to kill the noble himself if he didn't, Rein was too late to save the kids, how sad.

"We better leave, the marines are probably attacking my ship by now, let's get out of here and take these kids to the bar." Everyone nodded and Rein grabbed the dead kids and living ones and put them inside his storage.
