One Piece: The Power System

Rein and his crew ran up the stairs they came from in hurry, the mountain shook ever so often. Nami was too slow, so she was picked up by Erica like the first time they met. Far behind them was Cloud, he was flying up the stairs as fast as he could. It wasn't like anyone who was a Logia type user would die from a collapsing mountain.

After running up the stairs for an unknown amount of time, they reached the Yeti Cave. Rein remembered the Yeti they had beaten and let it out of his storage. He injected the creature with something and put it near its nest in the cave.

Afterward, they left the cave and headed down the mountain, they had gotten all three Insignia without much effort. It was unknown if the cave they just left had collapsed or not but no one cared really.

Once they were down the mountain, they went to the cave and saw that everyone was drinking hot chocolate around a campfire in the cave Erica made. "Oh, you guys are back, we were about to leave due to some tremor we felt earlier." Nojiko walked over after seeing that everyone was back.

"Yeah, an incident took place while we were up on the mountain, it's a lot to explain." Kuina gladly took the time to explain what had happened, she didn't mind if the HeartSeeker Pirates heard it or not.

"So there were crazy and battle-hungry people here as well!" Hearing what had happened, she couldn't wait to get stronger. Through fighting does one gain power, you can't just train all day, you have to experience the fight.

"This Cloud guy sounds way too arrogant, I bet he's all talk and no show." Vindicate shook his head, there were still people who like the trash talk while fighting?

"Ha! That guy couldn't handle Erica, he was hitting on us and everything, but I understand, just looked at me, haha!" Nami put her hand on her h.i.p.s and laughed towards the sky.

"I'm looking, but I don't see much, hehe!" Hera took this time to defame Nami's stuck up moment.

"Coming from someone who can only hide and shoot arrows, what a coward!" Nami snorted and turned around and rubbed her shoulder like she was wiping off dirty.

"You!"

"Okay, we're leaving and heading off, you guys are free to do what you need to do here in the North." Rein interrupted before it got worse, the two tigers wouldn't give in to one another.

"Huh? Where are you guys going?" Hera looked Vindicate then at Rein and asked.

"We're leaving the island, you should explore the island more, you may find some treasure." Rein said. Hera looked at Vindicate again, she seemed reluctant to part with him. "We'll meet again as long as you make it to the grand line, stop with that strange looks." Rein laughed to himself, just how old was this woman?

"Okay, I'll head around the mountain for a bit more to find someone that we're looking for, and if we can't find him, we'll leave as well." Hera stood up and looked Vindicate one last time.

"We'll meet again my love, our love will never truly draw us apart!" Hera smiled widely and signaled her crew that it was time to go. Vindicate didn't say anything, he already told this woman that he wasn't getting into any relationship. She seemed to have turned a deaf ear to what he was saying.

With that, Hera's crew bowed and left to follow their captain.

"Sigh, she doesn't understand the words that are coming out of my mouth." Vindicate sighed.

"Haha, that's the power of love I guess, it's ignorant to everything, it doesn't want to hear things it doesn't." Nojiko was here the whole time, so she knew what had happened.

"Rein, what do you mean, we're leaving this Island?" Nami finally asked.

"That was a lie, it was to get her to leave, we don't want her to follow us to the real tomb of possible treasure." Everyone was enlightened from what he said, it made perfect sense. If he didn't say that then she would have tagged along.

"Okay, let's go! The Blizzard is only getting worse, it might be a bigger storm coming." Kuina looked outside and couldn't see anything due to the snowstorm.

"Yeah, I also want to talk to you about Devil Fruits, I want a power as well." Kuina had wanted to ask this for a while but held back.

"Do you think those Fruits can be found like cabbages?" Nojiko frowned, it wasn't easy to get these powerful fruits, she believed that Kuina was asking too much.

"Hehe, it's okay, we'll find something that suits her perfectly, but for now, we have a job to do. One last job on this island then we'll head off this Island." Nojiko prepared hot chocolate for everyone personally for them to drink for the snowstorm.

Everyone traveled through the storm as fast as they could. The storm didn't affect Rein and Erica obviously, but everyone else felt it. Nami and Kuina complained about the storm but Rein simply replied saying 'now do you think the desert is so bad?'

After taking a hot chocolate break, they continued on until they were eventually out of the Snowstorm north. "This Island has terrible weather, I can't take this place for much longer, we need a vacation." Kuina and Nami were relieved to be out of that snowstorm after so many breaks.

"There is still a chill around here and frost on some trees, we aren't far away enough." Vindicate could visibly see frost on trees that came from the storm. Nami pulled out the map as they walked through the forest. They had one more place to head to, it was the main place that required the Insignias.

"Hehe, this place is bound to have some treasure!" Nami looked excited as she stared at the map, she was ahead of everyone and leading the way.

"Nami, you've gotten plenty of treasure from that trial, stop being so greedy, we don't need money so much anymore." Nojiko said.

"It not so bad to have a 'Little bit more', is it?" Nami tried to sound justified. Nojiko mouth twitched but she said nothing more. The tomb was located in the middle of the island, it took them three hours to reach this place! They took a food break because everyone was feeling hungry from all the walking.

"Goodness, we're finally here!" Vindicate was tired of walking, he would have rather flown here but Rein felt like that would catch someone's attention. However, on their way out of this place, they'll surely fly out.

Once they were close to the tomb, they entered. Inside the tomb was ancient pictures and text written on the walls that no one could read. Rein immediately spotted the platform where he needed to insert the insignia into.

Rein walked up to the Giant Double door and inserted the insignia inside of it.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The Insignias form a familiar creature known as the Chimera, he could also hear a click sound. "The doors have been unlocked, let go!" Rein pushed the doors opened and it revealed a huge beautiful forest with rivers and waterfalls. They all walked through the door and it shut behind them and locked itself!

They had no idea that the door had locked itself because they were mesmerized by the paradise looking scenery. The trees were so big, they were too wide and tall, they had never seen trees this big before

"Goodness, does a Giant live here or something, just look at the size of those trees!" Vindicate looked up and was amazed at the height of them, they towered over everything. However, Rein felt like he had seen these types of trees before.

"System, can you tell me what type of tree these are?" Rein asked silently.

[Adam Wood!]

"Just as thought! Guys, this is the legendary wood trees known as Adam Wood, we need it for a new and durable ship!" Rein was finally excited, this meant that he didn't need to buy it.

"Adam Wood? What is that?" Everyone looked confused, of course, they had never heard of it.

"Sigh, it doesn't matter, we need to cut some of these trees down and take them with us!" Rein said hurriedly "Vindicate, you cut some down while we search this place a bit more." Vindicate didn't have a problem with that, he wanted to test his new ability out.

Kuina decided to stay behind to help him cut down some trees, it wasn't going to be easy cutting Adams wood, it would take some time for that. The rest roamed the forest and Nojiko finally spoke about the devil fruit she found within the trial.

"Oh, let me have a look at it." Rein said. Erica searched through the storage and found it. "It looks like an overgrown lime with scales on it." Rein looked at the fruit and gave his evaluation.

"System, scan this fruit!"

[Scanning....]

Ryu Ryu No Mi, Model: Tyrannosaurus Rex

"Wow, this is an amazing find!" Rein was surprised, he decided to keep this Fruit!

This was better than the Insect-Insect Fruit he found in his trial. The bugs wouldn't even be able to bite through the thick scales and skin of the T-Rex!

"Is it? What type of power does it have?" Nojiko asked curiously.

"It's an ancient type that'll turn you into a fierce dinosaur." Rein said plainly

"Oh, I don't want to become a dinosaur, I like cat types better if had to choose an animal." Nojiko looked at the silent Cheshire cat on her head that had its eye closed this whole time.

"Over here, guys! Look at this thing, it friggin huge!" Nami called everyone over in a hurry. Once everyone came over, they saw a huge blue block with ancient writing on it.

"Poneglyph!" Rein was shocked seeing something like this here of all places. Judging from the coloration, he concluded that is was merely a historical type.

"System, can you translate this Poneglyph for me?" After three seconds, the system said nothing.

Rein saw this coming so he wasn't disappointed.

"Poneglyph? What is that?" Rein felt like he'd been hearing that same question a little too much!

"Something important that I'll explain some other time. I need to load this sucker up and take it with us!" Rein couldn't read the Poneglyph obviously but he knew someone that could. With that, Rein didn't wait around and immediately put the Poneglyph into his storage.

"Dang, I don't think I'll ever get used to that." Nojiko had a weird smile on her face.

"Let's continue to look around, there may be some more good treasures around here ready to be taken!" Rein smiled, these treasures were good so far, he wasn't disappointed with this hunt at all.

They broke up into groups, Rein went with Nojiko and Nami went with Erica. Rein walked through the forest then stopped, he needed to see how big this place was so he flew in the air. He told Nojiko to wait for a bit while he checked it out.

Rein looked into the distance and spotted something out of the ordinary right away. It was a golden light coming from the ground some ways away, if you played call of duty Zombies then you would know how this light looked.

Rein went back to the ground where Nojiko was. "I spotted a glowing pillar of light some ways away, I'll carry you over so we can check it out." Nojiko nodded and he grabbed her and put her into a princess carry to fly over to the light.

Once they got there, they spotted a big c.h.e.s.t that was taller than Rein, and Vindicate who was the tallest on the ship! "It's so bright, if Nami was here, she would be going crazy to open this thing up. But I'm also curious as to what could be in here, let's check it out!" Nojiko said with a smile.

Rein didn't say anything and approached the c.h.e.s.t, he opened it with ease since it wasn't locked. There were several items in here that looked amazing, he saw something that got his attention the minute he opened the c.h.e.s.t.

"Hmm, what is the Purple Ball, it looks important." It looked like a crystal ball, but it was purple instead.
