One Piece: The Power System

Chapter 44 - Surprising Transformation and Attack!

Myriad Island Frost Moutain.

"Swoosh!"

A Cold wind came from the Giant Yeti's mouth, anyone close by were either blown away or frozen on the spot! "Damn, this thing isn't showing any signs of fatigue, we've sent people here every day for the past month to weaken it!" Captain Red bull couldn't understand why it was still fighting so well, it had a wound on its legs so it resorted to using its abilities rather than fighting up close.

"When is Miguel going to show up with that poison he said he had?" RedBull and Captain Miguel decided to use underhanded means to take this thing down, its ice abilities were too overbearing in this weather condition. Red bull could take the cold when in his Zoan form but this weather would heighten the effects of its ice ability, so he would end frozen solid.

Suddenly the ground shook, the Yeti stomped the ground which made some people lose their footing.

"Oh, shit! Sir, we need to run, that yeti just caused an avalanche!" Everything was silent for a bit then they suddenly heard some rumbling coming from Mt. Frost!

"Avalanche!"

"Run for your life!"

Red face changed and he turned to run away from the sea of snow!

"Yehahaha!" The Yeti gave a joyous laugh seeing everyone run in fear, but the question is, could they outrun an avalanche?

"NOOoo!"

"Someone help me!"

"Save me!"

Many people screamed but the avalanche sounded like thunder coming down on everyone, their screams could barely be heard. Red Bull couldn't escape either, he had no choice but to change into his RedBull Form to survive this.

The wind was all that could be heard once the avalanche had stopped. There was no one left, but one guy who burst out of the snow.

Captain RedBull.

"Damn, another failure but with an Avalanche!!" Hot Steam came out of his nose, he was currently a huge Red Bull. Red Bull Grounded his teeth and left to report what had happened here.

Eclipse Pirates.

Rein and his crew had finally left the desert to a Jungle nearby, they had to stop and take a water break every so often for Nami, Kuina, and Nojiko. "Phew, we're finally out of that harsh desert, I don't want to go back into a desert for a long time." Nojiko wasn't too fond of the desert but what would she think if she knew that Rein wanted to go to Alabasta, which was all desert.

Everyone nodded silently to that as they continued to walk. "Speaking of this place, are there any native of this island? I haven't seen a single animal or person since we've been on this island except this freaky cat." Vindicate looked at the cat that was laying on Nojiko's head knowingly. The Cat opened one of its eyes and peaked at Vindicate but didn't say anything.

"Every island once had native living on it, the question is, where did they go?" Kuina seemed to know a bit and spoke her thoughts.

"I guess we'll soon find out, but let's get to the North." Rein honestly didn't care about any natives, he just wanted to collect those insignias on the map display. Nami looked over at Vindicate and gave him a nod.

Vindicate hesitated and stopped. "I have something to quickly announce!"

Everyone stopped and turned to Vindicate. "What is it, did you forget something?" Nojiko asked.

"No, me and Nami found a strange fruit in the trial we went into. Once we finished the trial, we were stuck in some strange box room with the door far above us. So, there was no way out and we were starving at that point, so I consumed the strange black pumpkin we found." Vindicate took a deep breath and said.

"Oh! So did this fruit have strange swirls on it?" Rein asked seriously

Vindicate slowly nodded "It also tasted like drywall, it didn't taste like any pumpkin I've ever had but it was special, you know?"

"Hahaha! You found a Devil Fruit so you should have its power now, show us!" Erica looked excited to see what his new ability was. Nami had already seen it but everyone else just watched him with expectation.

"Here I go!" With those words, he began to transform, right away Rein could tell it was a Zoan of some sort. Vindicate's clothes began to change into a Shadowy cloaked Robe, his head had changed as well to a Pumpkin that exuded Bright orange light from its Halloween carved face!

"Oh my Gosh!" Everyone was shocked! Rein stared in amazement, this was definitely a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit!

"It's so scary, what were your trials like!?" Kuina couldn't keep her eyes off Vindicate figure before her.

"I can also do this." As soon as Vindicate words dropped he turned into a swarm of Shadowy Crows and flew around the group!

"Amazing!" Erica's eyes turned into sparkles, he clearly had the ability to fly which was something she wanted most. She didn't like to rely on Geppo just to fly and wanted to fly without exuding so much effort to do so.

The crows gathered together and formed Vindicate. "The Devil Fruit should have given you information on the fruit, so what is it called?" Rein asked, but he had an idea about what the fruit was called.

"It's called the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Jack O' Lantern!" Rein nodded, it was just as he thought but he didn't know what more capabilities it could do. Vindicate would find out more about the fruit as he train it.

"Nice! You really hit the "Jack" pot this time, hehe, get it?" Kuina looked around but no one laughed, all they could hear were crickets.

"Okay then, just me." Kuina shrugged and left it at that.

"Speaking of which, I found a fruit in the treasury as.." Before Nojiko could finish, Rein interrupted.

"Take cover!" Everyone looked confused and couldn't react on time. Erica already had her Logia Body activated. Suddenly, a swarmed of arrows came raining down on them out of the Jungle! Erica put a firewall around Nami and Kuina to block the arrows. The arrows had no effect on Vindicate and Rein, Vindicate could just heal himself swiftly if he got hurt while in his Zoan form.

"Nojiko!" However, an arrow struck out at her but a barrier was formed around her, it was the Cheshire Cat! In no time, the hail of arrow came to a halt, and multiple figures walked out of the forest.

"Look, Captain! The demon is there before us, we need to purge this evil, it and its Followers!" The women that appeared had a short bob cut with black hair. The woman had makeup on her face with a black dress and umbrella that had a symbol of a heart being pierced by a heart tipped arrow.

"My heavens, what is he!?" Other women began to appear and looked at Vindicate in horror, they thought he was a demon.

"We may be pirates but we have morals, this evil creature can't be allowed to live amongst the living, we have to kill it!" Suddenly, another woman walked out of the jungle, she had black stockings on with pink hearts all over them.

This woman also wore a black dress, but it had several heart symbols on it. The woman had long pink and violet hair mixed together with a church tea party hat on, she also had one pink eye and one purple eye, she had tan skin and was quite the beauty!

"Who are you people and why did you just attack us so randomly!?" Nami pointed to the woman who was flaunting her exotic features and was enraged immediately.

"Hmph! Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first, it common curiosity." The woman folded her arms and said.

"Ah yes, my name.." Before Nami could finish, she was interrupted by the woman.

"My name is Hera, the Captain of the HeartSeeker Pirates!"

Nami shook, she felt the urge to run up to this woman and beat her! Didn't she want me to introduce myself first!? "Hold it there Nami, calm down or you'll end up popping a vain in your head or something." Kuina held Nami back who was clearly pushed to the edge by this woman's rudeness.

"What do you want, he isn't demon you morons!" Nami pointed to Hera who was exuding arrogance with her head looking upward as if she was looking down and everyone here!

"What is with his appearance then, can't you explain that?" The bob cut woman looked at Nami with disdain, she felt like this woman was trying cover for the pumpkin head demon.

"It's a devil Fruit ability and not a demon, have you heard of fruits that grant people abilities?" Rein was silent at first and wanted to see where this would amount to.

"Devil Fruit, it's pretty much a demon, isn't it?" Hera looked at Rein and questioned. These people were clearly not very knowledgable about devil fruits which made sense.

Rein sighed and looked around. "Listen, everyone, I'm going to explain to you about the Devil fruit abilities and classes." Hera was interested in these devil fruits he was talking about and ordered her crew which was nothing but women to stand down. Nami and the rest of his crew were also interested.

"First, there is Paramecia Class, these type of devil fruits either give the user the ability to Manipulated the environment, affect their bodies, or/and allows you to produce substance from it. So this ability doesn't give you the ability to turn into an animal or become a natural element. Some are capable of different transformations but not to animals or creatures, like my buddy here. Some are capable of producing substances, like poison for example. Paramecia is the most common Class fruit amongst the three types, including the subclasses." Rein looked around at everyone and could see that everyone was listening closely.

"Second, There is the Logia Class that allows the user to control, manipulate and become the naturally occurring element, for example, Ice or Fire as you seen with Erica here. However, her fire is a bit special compared to regular fire." Rein began to relay that the Logia is the strongest type and rarest type beside the subclasses he mentioned earlier that went under the Zoan class.

Of course, he explained everything about the Zoan Class and the subclasses such as the ancient and Mythical types. Rein also clarified that Vindicate had the rarest type of Devil Fruit, the mythical type which was insanely hard to find. Logia class fruits were hard to find as well while the powerful force of nature types was the hardest. Smoke was a force of nature but not on the high scale like Magma or lightning.

Rein had seen it on his system, it was a Devil Fruit called the Drip-Drip fruit which was the sound of water dripping. It was Logia water type Devil fruit which he was surprised to see on the system. After his explanation, some people were shocked while some were in deep thought, what power!

"So, he was a human this whole time?" Hera looked at Vindicate who had yet to turn back into his human form.

"Of course! Vindicate, you can turn back to your normal self now." With that, Vindicate reverted back to himself.

"Aw! I liked him better when he was a pumpkin head!" The Cheshire Cat booed seeing Vindicate returned to himself.

"Gasp!" Seeing Vindicate turn back to himself, everyone from the Heatseeker pirates nodded as to understand. However, Hera gasped as her eyes turned into heart seeing Vindicate, she was in love!

"Ah! He's so cool and Handsome looking!" Hera rush over to Vindicate and held his hands. "I think we should get married here and now!" Rein and his crew were dumbfounded seeing her change in personality, she seemed so serious not too long ago.

"Ugh! This woman's taste worries me!" The Cheshire Cat laughed silently.

"Wow, lady, I ain't marrying no one right now, I have so much to do in this life before settling!" Vindicate took his hands back and took a step back.

"You heard him, scram out!" Nami took this time to make this annoying woman feel bad.

"Okay, okay, I understand, I can wait then our love will come in fruition! Just be careful of ugly girls like that short-haired orange head over there, it's a pitiful sight! uh-hahaha!" Hera turned and looked at Nami and gave a smug laughter, she looked at Nami with contempt!

Y-you bi.." She didn't get to finish!

"Language! Don't say it Nami!" Nojiko interrupted her before she could spew profanity. Nami really wished she could beat this woman now, she was rude and even called her ugly, she was nearly angered half to death.

"Okay, Okay, since everything has been cleared up, we'll continue on our journey to the north." Rein shook his head, there were too many weirdos in this world for him.

"No! She should pay us some belies for attacking us with a swarm of arrows, our lives were hanging in the balance!" Nami wanted compensation from this lady, she wasn't going to let this annoying woman off so easily!

"Hmm, I guess that makes sense. Lara, come give this poor woman some belies, judging from her style, she must be a poor miserable thing, please help her!" Hearing her Captain orders, Lara took out 30,000 Belies and gave them to Nami.

Nami almost vomited blood hearing Hera's speech about being a poor existence.

"Lady, if you're going to talk like that then I'll have to ask you to leave. This isn't the way you talk to people after you've attacked them." Rein didn't like disrespectful people like this, she attacked them first out of the blue, so it would make sense for her compensate them something. Back in his world, he would surely sue this woman for that attack.

Hearing what Rein said, Hera looked at Vindicate and saw that he was glaring at her. "Ah! A joke, I was kidding, can't you guys take a joke in your lives." Hera laughed and smiled faintly and decided to give Nami fifty thousand belies as compensation.

"Hmph!" Nami took the money and walked away gritting her teeth.

"Well, thank you, we'll be leaving now!" Once Rein said that everyone started to walk off towards the north.

"Wait, you said the north, right? Me and my crew and are heading there so we'll join you!" Hera ran over and walked next to Vindicate who had an indifferent expression on his face.

"What? No way!" Nami was against the idea. Rein thought about it for and bit and looked at Vindicate, Rein grinned under his helmet and agreed to let her and her crew join in.

"What!? Are you serious!?" Nami looked at Rein then Hera who had a smug smile on her face.

"Nami, it isn't a big deal so let it be." Nojiko didn't see a problem with it nor did anyone else in the crew. Honestly, they were no threat to Rein and the rest of his crew, Okay maybe Nojiko and Nami but what does that stand for.

"Alright, let's go, my love, and my crew, to the north we go!" Hera said excitedly as she grabbed Vidnciate's arm!

"Ugh!" Vindicate g.r.o.a.n.e.d as Kuina and Nojiko chuckled. Nami just didn't like her and that was it while Erica only shook her head with a smile. Rein clearly did this on purpose for Vindicate who was too serious, maybe he'll find love in this.
