One Piece: The Power System

Chapter 35 - The Marine's Assault!

The three immediately left the room, Kuina had to hold Vindicate up a bit since he was limping and slow. They were in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the mansion, so they had to go up quite a lot of steps to get out of here. They soon made it to the main hall, reaching a huge door where the stairs to the upstairs part of the mansion were and the entrance of the mansion.

Rein had to beat up some guard to make him tell him the location where they held the prisoner or he was going to cut his D*** off! He was instantly shaken and told them where they could find the prisoners before he was knocked out.

Once they were in the main entrance room, they saw several knocked out people. "Wow, you guys knocked out all these people?" Vindicate asked in surprise. Rein looked a vindicate for a second and thought 'I think that might have been you!'

"Of course, with my skills who could go against me, I mean us, hehe!" Kuina cunningly said.

"With just you, I really doubt you could have such skills, have you seen that Erina chick?" Vindicate flamed Kuina on the spot.

"Why you! Do you want me to drop you off here!?" Kuina's mouth twitched after hearing Vindicate talk about her skills.

"A joke! Relax woman." Vindicate hurriedly spoke. Kuina laughed and the group left the mansion with no problems. However, they were being watched from afar by a shadowy figure but as the Author, I can say that this guy was the battle butler from before.

He had seen everything that had taken place, he knew that Marth was dead which was going to be a big problem soon. The battle butler didn't attack, he knew his limits, he wasn't sure if he could beat these three by himself.

The battle butler pulled out DenDen Mushi and started chatting. "Neegan, the targets are heading through the city, don't let these guys escape, they've killed the young master!"

"He's dead!?" Neegan face wasn't so well, this was going to be too troublesome later on. "Damn criminals, I'll capture them if it is the last thing I do!" Neegan's facial expression could be seen from the change in the DenDen Mushi's face.

"Good! Make sure you capture them and if you can't, just kill them!" The butler spoke no more and hung up.

"F.u.c.k! How am I going to explain this to the family hierarchy when they come back?" The butler expressed his worries with shaky hands.

At this time, Rein and company continued through the city. Rein gave Vindicate his old mask to hide his face since he was wanted. Vindicate was very weak right now, with the fact that he was beaten so badly and he had vomited quite the amount of blood.

Things were looking up for them, this could be an easy run back to their ship, but..!

"Tekkai Sai!"

Suddenly a silhouette appeared out of the air and smashed toward Rein. Rein couldn't move or Vindicate, and Kuina who was helping Vindicate would suffer some losses. He could only block the attack, he used his forearm to connect with the silhouette fist!

Crunch!

The ground underneath Rein's feet collapsed and formed a crater. The people screamed in shock and moved away as fast as they could. Kuina didn't need to think and jumped back with Vindicate. Rein looked at the figure, he was a marine from what Rein could tell.

Rein pushed the man back and countered with a kick. The man blocked it with his other arm but his arm was nearly broken from just blocking.

"Ugh!" The man jumped back and looked at Rein cautiously.

"Amazing, you were able to block my attack with raw strength alone, congratulations!" He rubbed his arm after the kick, how could a kick be that strong with brute strength alone? The man before him was only about 5,8 or 5,9 in height, while he himself was 6,5!

"Interesting, you're not a simple pirate, if you turn yourself in I can lower your punishment a bit. But if you don't, then don't even think about leaving here!" The man was Commander Neegan who captured and helped frame Vindicate.

"Haha! Yeah, that ain't gonna happen, buddy!" Rein shook his head, what idiot would surrender like this?

"What a pity, then I'll have to bring you in as a corpse, maybe a promotion would be within my grasp."

"Soru!" Neegan sped up and rushed Rein, he was targeting Rein's head, he planned to crush it on the spot. Too bad he was against Rein and such tricks wouldn't work on him, he was easily perceived.

Boom!

Neegan's punch was blocked!

"What!? Impossible! You can still see me while I'm moving that fast!?" Neegan was shocked, wasn't this just some beginner pirates? How could he block his move and perceive him?

"This level of Soru is too low, you're just a turtle in my eyes." Rein began to put force on Neegan's hand, crushing it slowly!

"Arg! Let me go you evil thing!" Rein did as he asked and let go, but Neegan was hit with a palm in the c.h.e.s.t and sent flying.

"AH!" Neegan screamed as he crashed through a building.

"Oh my god, he just knocked Commander Neegan away like a broken wooden puppet!" Some teenage boys looked on in awe, they quite enjoyed the show, they were kids so. The a.d.u.l.t didn't like this one bit though.

"Even the Commander was not his match, this is going to get back really soon!"

"This fight is so amazing, I couldn't see Neegan at all but that guy with the red eyes caught him out of the void like it was nothing!" Many people ranted on and on but Rein couldn't be bothered to listen to them, he needed to leave quickly!

"Vindicate and Kuina, get going to the ship!" Kuina nodded and carried Vindicate's arm over her neck as they walked on. However, Neegan burst out of the rubble, he was coughing up blood from Rain's last attack.

Suddenly, more marines appeared on the scene due to the huge ruckus, they were armed with rifles and swords, these guys weren't joking as they didn't carry pistols anymore. "Hold it right there, surrender and no one gets hurt!" The man leading was Richard, Kled was busy fighting near the docks against Erica which was rough on them.

Rein would be okay against these weapons but Vindicate and Kuina couldn't escape this barrage of bullets raining down on them. And the minutes he made a move that was out of place, they would fire.

Neegan came out, he was still holding his c.h.e.s.t. His clothes had blood on them, he was sure he had broken rib or something. "You son of a bitch, you broke one of my ribs, you piece of shit!" Neegan's face distorted from anger.

"Haha! That is a lot of profanity, you should get your mouth checked out later and not just that rib of yours!" Many people around wanted to laugh but held their laugher, they feared that Neegan may get even madder. However, Neegan's face was getting Darker and Darker, he had lost all face in front of everyone and his men.

"Kill these damn bastards! Shoot them!" Neegan was sure he couldn't beat Rein, he wanted him dead instead. Richard sighed and all the marines took aim!

"Infinite Shadows!" Suddenly Shadows rushed out of Rein's body and covered everywhere, blocking out the light.

The whole area turned into darkness!

"AH! I can't see!"

"How did it get dark so suddenly!?"

No one could see anything but Rein could, it was his technique after all. Wings sprouted from his back and he grabbed Vindicate and Kuina and flew off. Carrying people was a pain, so he didn't do it since they would weigh him down.

After a while, Rein was out of the zone and arrived near Gate A! There was a shoot out and the sound of scorching fire shooting out. "This chick is a witch for sure, she is using black fire, several of our men were burned to death already!" A marine soldier complained to Kled who was standing nearby.

"Stop your complaining, we've just called for back up but for some reason, we got no response! What in the hell are they doing!?" Kled had long since asked for assistance but no picked up and no more forces came, this was not something he could handle.

Suddenly, they saw a shadow cast over them in the sky, they looked up only to see someone with wings on their back carrying two people.

"W-What t-the hell!" Shock was written on everyone's face, it was the east blue so devil fruits weren't that known here.

Rein landed on his ship and dropped everyone off. His wings were quite tired from carrying two people, he didn't carry heavy things when he took flight but they were heavy on his wings. "How is everything so far, is there any bad damage?

"Phew, you're back and no, there is no heavy damage, Erica has staved off these guys for a while" Nami sighed in relief when Rein returned, her sister Nojiko returned just on time. Erica came over after launching a fireball toward the area the marines were coming from.

"Good, then this means we can leave now?" Erica looked over at Vindicate "Gasp, it's you, you look like someone beat the hell out of you!" Vindicate didn't say anything, he clearly got the living sh** beat out of him.

"Help him, you guys loop around the island near the D gate, I'll meet you guys there!" Rein said no more and flew off.

"Wait, what?" Erica tried to say something but Rein flew off in a hurry.

"Okay, let's head around to the D-gate!" Nami immediately began to steer the ship away.

At this time, Rein was heading to a familiar place, it was the bounty guild. Ten minutes later, he landed in front of the place, shocking everyone around.

"Shit, did that guy just come from the sky?"

"Oh my god, he's a fallen angel, he had black wings on his back!"

"A Demon, a Demon Ninja!"

Many people moved away from the Bounty Guild when they saw Rein enter the place. Once Rein entered, all eyes were on him again but everyone nodded with respect instead. They already knew what he had done that fast!

"You're back so soon?" The bartender was a little stunned.

"We need to talk for a bit." The bartender and Rein went to the back. Rein wasted no time and took out the fainted and dead kids.

"Oh my goodness!" The bartender was shocked, who were these kids and where did they come from? They're frigging dead kids, man!

"These kids were the kids from that village, the noble used them as hostages to lure in Vindicate. He killed these two, so I want you to raise them or find a good home for them."

"Take these kids and get them a burial, it is all we can do for them." Rein sighed and said.

"I don't know about this, this isn't something anyone can do, taking care of kids and this many at that. I have a job to do here, so I can't watch kids all day, you know?" The bartender shook his head, how could he watch kids at this time?

"Here, I don't have time, so take this money and watch over them! Have them work for you or something, find a home for them or something, do something!" Rein handed him the money and turned in Nitrogen and exited the room. He knew how it felt to be parentless so he understood how these kids were going to feel.

The bartender sighed and whispered "sure thing." He thought Rein was some sort of ninja so he didn't question his ability to disappear. At this time, Rein appeared on a building, he could see several marines running through the city. They had this city on lockdown, no one in and no one out.

Rein continued towards the D-gate, he couldn't get any information on Myriad Island but it was okay, he gained a new crewmate and found out about a conspiracy. After some time, he arrived at the D-gate, it was heavily guarded by Marines but Rein could fly so what was there to worry about?

He flew off into the forest and near the dock, waiting for his crew to come. Sure enough, they could be seen coming around the corner of the island and towards him. Rein didn't wait for them to get close and flew towards them and landed on the ship.

"Nice, now we can leave this place, right?" Erica asked

"Yup, our next destination is an island called Myriad Island!" Nami scratched her head, she had never heard of such a place before. Rein understood her confusion and pulled out a map and handed it to her.

"Here, the island is located at the edge of the calm belt, do you see it?" Nami looked at the map closely.

"Nice, I can add this to my map creation of the east blue, this is great!" Nami smiled and continued to look at the map. She knew the location of this place after inspecting it. She turned the map over and saw another map with X's in certain places.

"Could this mean what I think this means?" Nami eyes grew wide and sparkly then she looked at Rein.

"Hehe, oh yeah, it is exactly what you're thinking!" Rein face showed a greedy grin and so did Nami!

"You two, can you not just think about money all the time, jeez!" Nojiko had the urge to punch both of them. Birds of a feather flock together!

"Ouch, be careful Nomiko, goodness!" At this time, Nojiko was applying some medicine to Vindicate's face to heal his wound but it hurt and burned a bit.

"It's Nojiko, Not Nomiko!" Nojiko put pressure on his face, he called her the wrong name 3 times already, was he doing it on purpose?

"Ahhh! My mistake!" Vindicate jumped in pain, it hurt so much.

"I need some serious sleep, I'm too tired!" Vindicate was exhausted, he had taken a beating for a long time so this made sense.

"Take him to his room Kuina, you carried him here so it's only nice to take him to his new room." Nojiko grinned and looked at Kuina who was wiping her sword with a cloth

"Yeah sure, let's go Vin!" Vindicate said nothing and followed her.

"So, this Myriad island, is it as good as you say it is?" Nojiko asked

"Oh yeah, it has a lot of treasure that we'll need to have." Nami cut in before Rein could speak. "It doesn't matter, we need to go there no matter what!" Nami looked like she wanted to dance while steering the ship.

Erica just sat at a table on the deck eating a chocolate sundae, she had become pretty addicted to them. Rein could only imagine when he made his island and knowing some parts were made out of desserts, would he see her again after that?

"We'll know when we get there, but I'm sure there are some pretty good riches there, so off we go!" He was sure there was something good there with the fact that he had a mission to do there. The system wouldn't lead him on a wild goose chase.

"Myriad Island, here we come!"
