One Piece: The Power System

Seeing smoker from afar, everyone readied the cannon on the ship, at least the one and only cannon they had. Rein looked into the distance, he could freeze the sea but that would affect his advances, at least slowing him down. At that time, more marines would have more time to show up.

Then there was fire he could use, but Smoker would probably counter to cancel it out with his ability.

"I guess I should have just beaten him back in Logue town to make this journey smooth sailing." It was too late to regret now, all he could do was prepare for battle.

"These pistols I have can't last with my new ability when I use them to shoot lasers. I wish I could use these new pistols!" Vindicate's pistols were just to low in level. If he could use those New guns he got from Nojiko, then the attack power would be bigger and they could handle the Dark energy he used.

"How many shots do you have before your pistol can't handle it anymore?" Rein asked immediately, his ship wasn't well equipped to handle battles on the sea.

"I have about 7 shots before these old pistols collapse under the dark light." It was similar to Fijitora's devil fruit, he used his sword to amplify the use of his ability and Vindicate was doing the same here. Of course, if he went full Jack O' lantern then he wouldn't need anything to amplify the power of his attacks.

"Can't you just fire attacks without using... " Before Nojiko could finish asking her question, they heard many whistles around them.

Boom!

BooM!

Several cannon balls rained out of the sky on their position!

"Forget it!" Rein didn't care and jumped into the water, it quickly began to freeze over! Tashigi had a spyglass and could see the water freezing quickly as it approached them.

"AH! The water is freezing, Captain!" Tashigi was startled.

"That's impossible, it's a sunny day out today, no one can freeze water that fast except him!" Right as he finished speaking, the water around the 9 marine sh.i.p.s was halted by the ice.

"A Devil fruit power that can freeze!" Smoker began to frown now, was it a Paramecia like the cold-cold fruit? It couldn't be a logia type, it was already taken by an Admiral. With that, he concluded that Rein had a Paramecia Cold devil fruit ability, it made sense to think this.

"Looks like he's taking this battle to us! Prepare to leave the sh.i.p.s, everyone, it's about to be a fight on the ice!" Smoker spoke over the Den Den Mushi next to him and looked through the spyglass. He could see 4 people approaching them swiftly, it was Vindicate, Rein, Kuina, and Erica!

An uncountable amount of marine looked reluctant to get on the ice. Once they jumped onto it, they found that the ice was very durable for battle. They weren't reluctant any more and all leaped onto the ice, ready to fight!

When was the last time they had seen some serious action like this? They had heard how dangerous this group of pirates were, this made their blood boil for battle!

"Charge! Take these pirates down, don't let one go!" A Junior Lt. Ranked Marines spoke to boost everyone morales which seemed to have worked.

Suddenly, a black laser shot out, it changed the color of the surrounding for a brief moment before slamming into a ship!

BooM!

This ship was hit with a frontal attack which caused many marines to fall off the ship yelling.

"It's him!" Tashigi glared at where the laser came from and saw Vindicate from earlier! Vindicate looked back at her and winked, he didn't look long a continued to the next ship.

Tashigi ran over to Vindicate, he was charging at a ship alone.

"Tashigi, be careful, that guy has a strange gun, retreat if it's too dangerous!" Smoker warned and looked away. Tashigi turned and did a quick bow before racing off!

"Shoot them! Aim the cannons, Fire!"

Boom!

Boom!

Several cannon threatened Rein's ship! Suddenly, a barrier formed around the ship, this was the doing of the Cheshire Cat. It had taken a humanoid form as it stretched and yawned, it just watched the battle.

"A shield? What kind of technology is that?" The marines were surprised.

Meanwhile, several marines were firing at Rein and Erica but they dodged and sent kick and punches towards many of them, knocking them away and out. Suddenly, Smoker came down, he slammed toward Erica with his fist.

Erica blocked it with her forearm then send a kick toward Smoker, but he hurriedly and turned into Smoke to maneuver around it. That two did a backflips and back off one another with glaring eyes.

"I hope you understand that I can't let dangerous pirates like you guys go, this is how justice works!"

Smoker took out a lighter and lit his two cigars back up.

"Justice, you're an idiot, I don't see any justice! Erica, you go forth, I'll handl..." He couldn't finish when he was interrupted.

"Rein! Can I please fight this guy, this guy really gets on my nerves, so please let me handle this one!" Rein was surprised and looked over at Erica who looked serious expression at the moment.

"Hahaha! Sure, you take it from here, be careful not to melt the ice too much, that's dangerous for the three of us!" Erica nodded and Rein moved towards another group of marines, he didn't want to use his abilities too much here as to not show too much.

"Oh? I get on your nerves because you hate people who do the right thing, while you want to commit crimes?" Smoker's eyes showed contempt for a moment.

"This is understandable, you think you can kill, rob, and do much more as you please, but people like me exist so that won't happen!" At that moment an explosion could be heard again, it was Vindicate blowing away marines!

"There is no point in explaining anything to you, you're just an Idiot!" Erica didn't bother to explain anything, he had already made up his mind about them. They clashed as Black, white, and Gray began to cause fluctuations in their area.

Meanwhile, Vindicate was destroying a ship, he used his pistols fused with the black energy to do so. Rein was mainly taking out marines by freezing them in their tracks. Ice wasn't a destructive ability like fire, but he wanted to convince them that he could only use ice.

"Damn it, shoot him!" Suddenly, Multiple marines fire at Vindicate with a flurry of bullets. Vindicate quickly formed a scythe and began to rotate the scythe quickly to block all the bullets!

"What!?" The Marines were stuck in a dilemma but soon began to load their pistols and rifles as quickly as they could.

"Rocket! Get the damn Rockets! Blow him up" Suddenly, two tall men walked out of the ship with rockets in their hands this time, it was just for Vindicate.

The two tall marines quickly shot the rockets at Vindicate, he wasn't sticking around to be hit with rockets and used Soru to get out.

Boom!

Boom

The deck of the ship was hit as the marines around were caught in the attack. Flames sparked, destroying half the deck!

"Ahhh! Help, it burns!" Many marines screamed as they were hit, they were blown away by this attack. Some were set ablaze while some were blown into pieces, killing them!

"You idiot, aim for the pirate, not our damn allies!" The Lt. Junior hollered seeing many marines getting killed by these two idiots.

"But, sir, it's a rocket, how can we not hit any allies when they're this close?" The man questioned

"Shut up and just kill the pirate!" The Lt. Junior didn't like to be questioned and ordered his men to find and kill the pirate on the ship.

"Kill me? I think not!" Suddenly, the Lt. Junior was stunned and looked behind him, he saw Vindicate grinning down at him. The man didn't say anything but his face was full of sweat, he hurriedly and pulled out his pistol but was immediately kicked flying off the ship!

"AHHHH!!!" The Lt. Junior screamed hysterically as he was directly kicked in the face, and sent flying spiraling through the air. His mouth was bloodied as not only was he sent flying, but his teeth were as well!

"Lieutenant!" Everyone on the ship yelled out seeing their Commanding officer sent flying like a ragdoll. Suddenly, Vindicate's head turned into a pumpkin then he crossed his arms over his head!

"His head turned into a pumpkin, what the f.u.c.k is he!?"

"What is that orange light?"

"This doesn't look good, retreat!"

The ones with common sense had already begun to flee while the curious ones questioned! At that moment, Vindicate shot an orange laser out of his pumpkin smiley mouth, he was done charging it!

All the marines could see was blinding light, it covered the whole area and even made Smoker and Erica look back to see. Tashigi stopped, she was originally looking to intercepted Vindicate, the glasses blindsided her as the light hitting her eyes was much worse because of her glasses. She had to stop and cover her eyes because of it!

With that, A pillar of orange light engulfed the ship, it was completely no more! Winds kicked up as some marines were blown away by that alone. The Ice in this area where the ship once was had now turned into water, the beam had penetrated through the thick ice!

"What in the world was the orange light?"

"I don't know but the ship was destroyed by it, the ship is completely gone!"

Many marines who were fighting Rein turned in surprise but were instantly turned into statues because of it. "Nice! I see he's getting the hang of that Devil Fruit power already, but he must be getting exhausted from using it so much." This was also a test to see how well Kuina and Vindicate could cope, so he didn't do too much.

Rein knew Vindicate wasn't so experienced with his new abilities yet, so he would probably tire faster when he used it. Vindicate landed on the ice near a group of marines and began to gun them down right away, but suddenly!

Shing!

"Huh?" Vindicate quickly formed a scythe and blocked the incoming danger.

"Nice reflexes, but I got you this time!" Tashigi had formed a sneak attack, but it failed!

"Nerd girl, do you love me or something, I'm flatter, but you have to get in line." Vindicate teased and grinned at Tashigi.

"Who would love you, you damn pervert and I'm not a nerd!" Tashigi Said "Prepare to be taken in and judged for your crimes!" Tashigi swung her sword with great speed, but Vindicate kept smiling as he parried her attacks.

Vindicate back away to get some distance.

"I'm not a swordsman or anything, but you're kind of slow, my nerdy friend." Vindicate smirked and continued "But I know someone who can teach you a thing or two!" At that moment, a silhouette jumped over Vindicate as a glint of light was shown.

Tashigi was surprised and quickly put up her guard to block the attack!

Ding!

Shing!

Sparks flew from their clash of Katana's, it was Kuina!

Kuina moved her blade quickly and managed to cut Tashigi on the arm!

"Ugh!" Tashigi eyes went wide, but she continued to persevere through the rapid strikes before she was able to back off and get a breather.

"It's you, you're the one from that time!' Tashigi remembered the fox masked woman that was by Rein's side in Logue town.

"Gasp! You really do look like m...." Kuina stopped her words and held up her Katana! She was currently wearing a fox mask, so no one couldn't really see how she looked.

"That sword, it's a good sword! I'm surprised that something so good could appear here in the East Blue!" Tashigi could recognize a good sword when she saw it, and this pink Katana was pretty good.

"Well, I'll be off to destroy some marines and marine sh.i.p.s, see ya!"

"You! Are you running away!?" Tashigi yelled at Vindicate.

Vindicate turned around and said bluntly.

"Sure is!" Then he ran off! Kuina wanted to laugh, this guy didn't care about his image at all.

"Shameless asshole!" Tashigi was angry and stunned, did he know no shame?

"It's just you and me now, marine!" Kuina held up her Katana, she preferred two swords since this was her style, but she was picky with the weapons she wanted to use. Zoro had taken her Katana, this spoke for itself on how picky she was.

Kuina preferred quality over quantity.

"Then, let's spar a bit!" Tashigi didn't let up either and grew serious, she hated to be looked down on.

It was the battle of the clones!
