One Piece: The Power System

Rein's crew continued to set sail towards Myriad Island, at this time, a day and a half had already passed. Everyone woke up, ate breakfast and did the usual morning routine. The sh.i.p.s sat in place during the night while everyone was asleep.

Rein was in the Mess Hall eating and talking to Vindicate alone. "I have a few questions for you that never asked you about, like how old you are for starters?" They were both eating lunch so Rein found that this was the perfect time to ask a few things.

"I'm nineteen right now, I just turned nineteen a month ago. What about yourself, how old are you right now?" Vindicate asked

"Sixteen, I'll be seventeen next year." Vindicate nodded but he was a little surprised about Rein age because of how strong he was for it.

"Back at the mansion, do you realize what you did back there?" This was one of the main reasons he wanted to talk to Vindicate.

"Uh, not really, but he had to die, I had to do it." Vindicate thought he was talking about him killing Marth.

"Not that, the phenomenon where people started fainting all of a sudden, you must have noticed it at that time." Vindicate started to recall the incident from yesterday, he did notice the people suddenly fainting around him but was too stressed to care or think much of it.

"Yes, I do remember, what about it, I mean, how did they suddenly faint out of nowhere?" Now that it was brought to his attention, he wanted to know.

"Hehe, before that, let me explain something to you. There are three main techniques that people need to know to survive in this world of strong people. This is mainly for those very powerful places in the world which we'll be heading to in the future." Vindicate nodded and listened closely as he ate his sandwich.

Rein started to relay Haki to Vindicate and its capabilities. He told him about the rarest Haki that most never unlocked. Of course, Rein told him that he unlocked the one that most never unlocked in their lives.

"So it was like that, huh? I never would have thought that I had awakened something so good." Vindicate put his hand on his chin in a thoughtful manner. "Well, it is best if I learn to use it as freely as possible but I don't know how I did it." Rein understood this much, he was unaware of it himself but he was sure he would figure it out later.

"This makes sense, but until then, you may want to start training some other time then." Rein remembered something and said "Speaking of which, what is your full name to begin with, it must be more to it than that."

"My full name? Hehe, my dad always told me that it wasn't safe to tell people my full name." Vindicate had never spoken his full name to anyone, so no one knew it.

"We're crewmates now, so it's okay to tell us a few things about each other, don't worry, I won't tell anyone unless you want me to."

Vindicate nodded "My full name is Rigor D. Vindicate" Rein's mouth opened slightly for a second before he smiled. He really hit the jackpot with this guy!

"Okay, cool! Let's finish eating, we'll talk about training at a much later time."Vindicate noticed the change in Rein face for second but didn't think much about it and continued to eat.

Ship Deck.

"This pirate flag has to be the one, it looks amazing!" Kuina held the flag up and showed everyone her work.

"Wow, it's so intimidating, this will make anyone who sees run on the spot, the flag is a must!" Nami liked the flag a lot and couldn't agree more to it become their jolly roger.

"Wow, it is good, I think we should use it as our jolly roger, just make sure to show Rein before then." Erica nodded in satisfaction.

"Yeah, just wait until he is done eating, then we'll work something out." Nojiko was doing some workouts like Erica had instructed her to do. She had started her training session by punching and kicking 200 times a day.

"So, Nojiko, you said you didn't like weapons, right?" Erica asked for assurance.

"No weapons, but if I were to use a weapon, it would have to be gauntlets. I would prefer to punch rather than using "cough cough" toothpicks." Kuina turned around and frowned at Nojiko.

"Hmph! Just so you know, gloves are no match for powerful swords, what can glove fists do? Haha!" Kuina believed in the sword and that it was the ultimate weapon for combat, nothing could match it, definitely not a fist weapon.

"Once I get stronger, I'll show you what they can do if I get my hands-on two." Nojiko smiled, she was confident that if she trained long and hard enough, then she could get stronger just like how her cooking improved over the years.

"Ha! We'll see!" Kuina smiled and lifted the flag up for all to see. She took great pride in her artistic skills she had learned from her dad. The Flag was all black with an eclipsed sun on it. The moon that eclipsed the sun had a skull on it with a red light beaming behind it from the eclipse light.

Author Note: The Jolly Roger is the cover of this novel. :D

"Nami, how long until we reach this Myriad island?" Erica was wearing a black sundress this time around like she was on a vacation.

"We should reach there within an hour's time, I can't wait, all that treasure is calling our names!" Beli Dollar signs appeared in Nami's eyes which caused Nojiko to sigh a bit but she still smiled, she was used to this.

Marine Base In The East Blue.

A man sat at his desk working, he would sigh every now and then. "Finally done, it's a good thing that nothing big has happened in the East blue so far." This was a Rear admiral by the name Axor. He was stationed here with another Rear admiral since there were two Rear admirals station in each sea.

Just when he was about to stand and stretch, a marine rushed in.

"Reporting sir!"

The man bowed and put a 5 to 10 page report on Axor's desk. Axor looked on the with surprise, he saw a number of pages and he frowned deeply. "What is this, why in the world is there so many pages of it, did some bad happen?

"Yes, the report will tell you about everything that has been going on." Rear Admirals, even though they were stationed here, never made a move, and would usually send others to do the job. Things had been looking up since Smoker was stationed in Logue Town, so no pirates could pass and would always get caught by him.

Axor skimmed through the report and his face scrunched. This was definitely when he saw the assassination of a noble. Yes, most of this report was on Rein, who had caused problems for the marines. Nezumi's report was inputted in here as well, he finally managed to get free and contact other marines.

"What in the hell is going on here!? He was a pirate hunter at first, then came in contact with Nezumi who said he terrorized a village on this island. He also killed many marines and even killed a noble!" Axor was close to smashing the desk into pieces seeing this report. There was so much stuff in here that it could barely fit on the pages!

"Do we have a picture of this guy?" Axor was clearly angered to the extreme!

"A-ah yes, sir, it at the back of the report!" The marine was very nervous and spoke quickly. Axor checked the back and saw the picture of the guy who caused so much trouble.

"What is this, is this man from Wano?" Axor whispered to himself. "Put up a bounty for him, according to this report, the name people gave him was Rain Man!" Axor saw three other pictures as well. On every one of the pictures was a report about each of the individuals.

"Goodness! What the f.u.c.k is happening in the East Blue!?" Axor couldn't hold it in no more and smashed his desk!

"Ah!" The marine soldier backed away in fear and shock!

Axor was pissed to the extreme, it was a woman who could shoot black flames from her hands! They described that bullet and swords didn't work on her. For axor, this brought back some terrible memories two years ago about another certain person who had a similar ability!

"A Damn Devil Fruit User! Do these damn fruit spawn like cabbage in the East Blue!?" Why did the pirates of all people have to be so fortunate to get such power? "She is no infernal fist or anything, she is a witch, put her down as an Infernal Witch!"

"Y-yes!" The marine soldier said nervously

Axor looked at the other reports, it was Vindicate's and Kuina's. Not much was known about Kuina, so he didn't put a bounty on her head, she was just seen with Rein so there wasn't much to go on. However, Vindicate slaughtered a whole village and killed quite the amount of marines. He was also part of the assassination of the nobleman. The Bulter surprisingly didn't report Kuina who was also present at that time to the marines.

"These pirates cannot stay, we'll have to capture them at some point! Tell Captain Smoker to keep an extra lookout for these pirates, they'll be heading to the grand line at some point!" Axer said, "Also, bring me a new desk, I'm sure we have plenty of backups." This wasn't the first time he destroyed his desk, he did so many times when Ace was active in the east blue.

"Yes!" The marine soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.

"You're dismissed!" Axor waved his hand and the soldier left. "Damn pirates, all of you won't survive and will be hunted for the rest of your lives!"

Thus their bounties were set!

Rein= ฿50,000,000 =Wanted Poster-Rain Man

Erica= ฿25,000,000 = Wanted Poster-Infernal Witch Erica

Vindicate= ฿32,000,000 = Wanted Poster-Vindicate The Merciless

Rein's ship.

Rein was just getting finished with his evaluation of the new jolly roger flag. He approved of it almost immediately, it was now time to think of a name. "I think we should name the crew the Black Sun pirates!" Kuina folded her arms and nodded seriously.

"No, that doesn't sound right, it is an eclipse, so should it be related to something like that?" Nami who was maneuvering the ship turned and chimed in. Why would anyone name something that was completely unrelated to the logo it represented?

"That does sound right, I think we should be called the Eclipse pirates or something like that." Erica agreed with Nami on this one, it made sense to name it as so.

"Hmm, I guess you guys are right." Kuina shrugged, it did make sense.

"Okay, we'll be called The Eclipse Pirates, I like it!" Rein answer had decided the matter right away, they were now officially pirates!

Suddenly, a notification went off in Rein's head.

[Ding! Pirates Crew established!]

[Ding! Congratulations, your crew has been created, Receiving Reward: 25,000 System Points!

[Would you like to view your crew's strength level? Yes/No]

Rein hit yes, and their names all popped up on a screen. Rein decided to test it out and clicked Nojiko's name.

⋆Nojiko

Affiliation: Eclipse Pirates

Will: ★★✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰

Combat Strength: ★✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰

"Wow, this is an amazing device to have, I can monitor their capabilities!" Rein also noticed Nojiko's Luck, which was insanely high! Rein also recalled that there was an eye ability that would allow him to check out an individual status like this.

[Ding! Bounty has been established!]

⋆Congratulations, you're a wanted man, you've received: Silver Lottery Token!

⋆Congratulations, you're a wanted man, you've received: (Silver) Devil Fruit Token!

"Oh, so I have a bounty now, I wonder how much that put on me?" Rein grinned and looked at his rewards. Before he could say anything, everyone spoke in awe.

"Amazing! This island must be at least five times bigger than Castleford Island!" Erica was elated seeing the beautiful terrain of the island and judging from the map, it had several different types. One could see the huge volcano on the island and places where huge snow-covered mountains were.

Everyone started to talk enthusiastically about the island, even Vindicate was amazed, he had spent all his life on Shipford Island so this was new to him. "I can't tell which part of the island this is but once we land on it, this map should give me a clue." Nami looked at the map to try and figure out what part they were heading to by looking back and forth at the map and island.

"Haha, don't give yourself a headache, let's just dock the ship and figure things out from there." Nojiko saw Nami constantly moving her head up and down at the map and the island.

"Ah, I guess we'll just have to dock then." Nami agreed, she was starting to feel a bit dizzy from moving her so much.

"It appears to be a desert terrain, I can see several of cactuses on the island where we'll be docking." Rein was sure that one of the X's was located in desert terrain so this made him a bit happy.

"This must be the West part of the island if I had to make a guess." Nami had looked at the map for some time on her way here to study it, she basically knew everything about it. She couldn't see too far but once Rein said that it was a desert terrain, she was sure it was the west part of the island.

Within ten minutes, they docked the ship and walked off. "Nami, what can you get from this, is there anything familiar on the map that you're getting from this?" Rein scanned the desert, people like him weren't fazed by the heat, nor was Erica, but everyone else would have some trouble without water.

"The X is actually pretty close!" Nami jumped in excitement. "It's close but yet far, this is going to be a tiring walk but for the treasure, hehe, it's worth it." Nami grinned and pointed in the direction they should walk.

"Alright, let's go!" Vindicate nodded while Rein put the ship into his storage.

"Say what now!?" Vindicate was stunned seeing the ship disappear.

"Yeah, I was just like that when he did that, I think it's one of his abilities, don't mind it." Kuina laughed and shook her head.

However, they didn't know that they were being watched from afar by a spyglass.

"Tsk, more pirates, pirates are arriving on this island a lot, we've already caught two crews, looks like this will be our 3rd!" Said the marine soldier with the spyglass. They had a little set up here with some tents around.

"We'll watch them for now, let's see what they want to do."

"Yes, Captain Copper!" The marines saluted and the group watched Rein's group closely as they advanced through the desert.
