One Piece: The Power System

Everyone had a job in this battle as Rein had explained everyone's goal in this fight. Kuina was to lay low for a bit because Rein wasn't sure if she could dodge bullets so easily, so she wasn't as active.

Vindicate's job was to sink some sh.i.p.s to obviously stop the Marines from persuing them once this was over. Erica's job was originally to sink sh.i.p.s with Vindicate, but she ended up in a fight with Smoker.

Rein was to freeze and occupy many marines that attacked which he was doing perfectly. Nojiko just needed to have her little Cat friend use its barriers to protect the ship from attacks. However, with Erica occupied with Smoker and Kuina fighting Tashigi, he needed to take some sh.i.p.s down himself.

Nami was shooting the cannon from the ship every now and then, so this was a good thing too.

Rein moved through the marines quickly, he would freeze anyone he passed. To speed things up, he had brought some sh.i.p.s down as well. It was obvious that reinforcements would arrive to help them soon.

"Rankyaku!" Rein jumped up and kicked outward. Rein released a blue slash from his leg, then he moved his other leg and flung out more Rankyakus. The ship was cut into several wooden blocks as it collapsed.

"Gasp! Our ship, they're targeting our sh.i.p.s! Defend our ship, they want to escape!" These marines weren't the smartest but it obvious what Rein's crew was plotting.

"Aim for their ship, they want to destroy ours then we'll destroy theirs first!" This time, another Lt Junior came over, he had seen what happened to his buddy earlier! The other Lt. Junior was still knocked on the ice somewhere, it was actually unknown if he was alive or not.

"What scheming pirates, they won't escape, none shall escape! We are Justice!" The Lt. Junior roared to the crowd of marines. They were all fired up from his little speech of motivation and readied their weapons.

"To all ship, targets the enemies ship ahead, leave no stone unbroken!" The Lt. Junior grabbed the DenDen Mushi and commanded all the sh.i.p.s to attack Rein's ship! They didn't remotely question him and began to bring several cannons to the deck.

"Damn! Vindicate, take out as many of these sh.i.p.s as you can! Try to stop them from firing as much as you can!" Rein spoke urgently! Vindicate face turned serious and he nodded, quickly moving to the next ship!

There were a total of 7 sh.i.p.s left they needed to take down. Rein put his hands together and slowly formed an Ice Sword. It was thick and baby blue in color, it was exuding water vapors from it.

"Ready... aim, Fire!" The Junior Lieutenant Pointed towards Rein ship with his sword as he spoke over the DenDen Mushi. Everyone fired on his commanded while some sh.i.p.s still weren't prepared to shoot.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Vindicate didn't need to do much, he targeted the cannonballs mid-flight. He had pretty good accuracy as he shot several Cannonballs down. Rein moved through the air fast using Geppo, all you could see were little clouds and the sound of him breaking the sound barrier like Blueno when he fought Luffy!

All the cannonballs were easily dismissed by Rein and Vindicate efforts, mainly Rein. "Very smart, but to bad, this primitive attack isn't good enough!" Rein suddenly s.u.c.k.e.d in a lot of air and blew it outward towards the sh.i.p.s.

The marines were surprised originally that their Cannonballs had been blocked all at once, it was something they had never seen before. Seeing Rein suddenly speak and blowing air, they were a little confused.

"Why is he blowing air?"

"I hope he doesn't think he take us down like that!"

"What is he plotting, it must be something, we can't underestima..." He couldn't finish what he wanted to say, he fainted on the spot! Many marines began to faint simultaneously out of the blue, what was going on!?

"What have you done you evil Pirate!?" The Lt. Junior screamed and threw his sword to the side, then he picked up a launcher that was next to him with a hateful expression. If you haven't guessed it already, then yes, he used Nitrogen to faint the majority of the marines!

"Die you evil thing!" The Lt. Junior face was ugly from anger!

"Not so fast, Sherlock!" The Lt. junior fired his launcher but just as he did, it was blown up in his face! Vindicate had shot the rocket with a barrel bullet that bombed the rocket on the spot! Sadly, the Lt. Junior didn't even get to scream as he was blown to nothingness!

"Yikes! You know he's dead!" Rein rubbed his helmet and said. Rein was receiving many points for defeating marines, but not as much per defeat, but it all added up to something decent.

"It was self-defense, it had to be done, he targeted us with the intent to kill! It was all I could give!" Vindicate wouldn't be merciful to anyone trying to kill him, this was the same with Rein in many cases, but it depended for him to some degree.

For instance, he knew how crocodile and Doflamingo were, he originally liked these characters so he wouldn't kill them, but beat them instead.

As for people like Blackbeard, he would kill him and rob his Devil fruit to give to someone. Taking extra damage wasn't something he wanted, but the fruit could be sold to the system for a lot, and I mean a lot!

With that, Rein and Vindicate proceeded to take down many sh.i.p.s with ease.

"Hmm, this isn't going as expected, what a pain!" Smoker already took notice of the terrible situation, this was totally unexpected. He didn't expect so many marines to be defeated by 2 people, like what?

"Hmph! Looks like your blind justice has only gotten you in trouble!" Erica kicked out as a fire wave came upon Smoker. Smoker attacked as well and the attack just canceled each other out, he had taken many hits from Erica already.

Erica was pretty strong without a devil fruit, she could use Rokushiki pretty well and could hit hard. This was definitely so with her kicks as her legs seemed to be the strongest part of her body.

"Kid, being a pirate was your ultimate downfall, now you have to know your mistake!" Smoker shot a smoke bomb at Erica while she shot a Firebomb back!

Bang!

Boom!

The attacks collided in the air, they both made sure to launch attacks away from the ice as much as they could. They were both Devil Fruit users so falling into the water wasn't something good.

Smoker used this as a diversion to sneak up on Erica but she was also thinking the same thing! They both Clashed again, but Smoker was knocked back, just as he was about to slam into the ice, he quickly recovered.

"I don't know how you got this stong or how you came across such power, but this only makes me want to take you in even more!" Smoker wished he had his jitte right about now, this would surely make things a bit different.

"Then try it!" Erica couldn't bother to answer his questions and attacked him again.

Meanwhile.....

Shing!

Whoosh!

"So aggressive, it would have been good for someone like you to be a marine, but you've chosen the dark path!" Tashigi couldn't hold up against Kuina's onslaught of attacks, she was fast and aggressive.

"I've already chosen that this is the path to true power, it has to be so with no regrets!" Kuina did a spinning slash that caught Tashigi off guard as it slashed her clothes and stomach!

"Ugh! Damn it!" Tashigi backed away to recover, but she was met with another flurry of swift attacks by Kuina. Kuina almost looked like after images to Tashigi, she understood that she was no match for this woman!

Tashigi blocked as much as she could but this was Kuina!

Ace died to serve to motivate and let Luffy understand that he was weak. Whitebeard was killed off because he was just too Op, no one was going to beat him, at least not for a while!

As for Kuina, she died from stairs, damn stairs! She had a lot of potential that was never found out, it was not telling what she would have achieved if she had lived. Zoro couldn't match her, so how could Tashigi stand where she is in talent and skill?

However, Tashigi managed to get a lucky hit in, it was on Kuina fox mask! With that, the mask was knocked off and revealed her face! Tashigi fell to the ground holding her stomach where she was slashed, she looked up after seeing the mask drop to the ice.

"Whaaa~! W-who are you?" Tashigi's eyes dilated, her expression looked like the world was ending.

"Who am I? Who are you?" Kuina found that question funny, "This match is over, you should sit there after being defeated, so stay down and away!" To Kuina, that was her line! How do you have a face nearly identical to mine?

Kuina picked up the fox mask and put it back on, she ran off elsewhere while Tashigi stayed where she was in deep thought.

Meanwhile, Vindicate and Rein were wrecking house on the marine sh.i.p.s. One of the marines soldiers got on the Den Den Mushi to call for back up but was knocked out soon after. "Damn! That bastard called for back up, we need to leave, I can use a nap right about now." Vindicate was feeling exhausted as Rein knew he would.

"This is just about wrapped up, all we need to do now melt the ice and be on our way." The main goal was the sh.i.p.s in their way, then they could advance with no problem. Rein sighed, he needed to upgrade his ship quick, or else!

After destroying the last ship, they heard some screams not too far off!

"Ah! My legs!"

"My arms, I don't think I can hold another gun again!"

"Y-you crazy bitch, you won't get aw..."

Bonk!

The man was knocked over the head and fainted on the spot, he was hit over the head by the hilt of Kuina's sword! "Goodness, you're crippling people and stuff, this is too sinister, Kuina!" Vindicate looked at Kuina with Convictions.

"Don't be a hypocrite, I saw what you did earlier to that man with the launcher!" Kuina harrumphed and looked at Vindicate with ridicule!

"....." Vindicate was silent.

"Okay, let's wrapped this up and be one our way out of here before more marines arrive!" It wasn't the time for this, they had to go!

Rein looked over at Erica and Smoker's heated battle, they were exchanging blows but Erica was faster, she was also better at Technique. Smoker didn't really stand a chance, and if this battle went on much longer, he would surely lose.

Vindicate grinned and shot one off at Smoker while he was distracted!

Smoker notice a light from his backside, he turned around but his face remained unchanged as he was hit directly by the beam.

Boom!

A mini bomb of light shot out as some ice was destroyed in the process!

"Shameless Asshole!!!" Someone hollered from afar, but once they looked over they could see that it was Tashigi. She was on the ice glaring at Vindicate like she wanted to chop him up!

"Ah, no! Sorry, my hand slipped!" Vindicate innocently said with a delightful yet believable smile, it looked like there sparkles were around him to prove that was telling the truth.

"You damn liar!" Tashigi roared with the injustice of that sneak attack.

"I was standing right here lady, his hand clearly slipped as I am his witness." Rein nodded with his hand on his chin and agreed that Vindicate's hand had indeed slipped. Kuina's mouth twitched then it turned into a smile, she shook her head and chuckled afterward.

"Y-you!" Tashigi pointed at the group, she was speechless with anger, she was lost for words!

Smoker appeared out of the attack and looked toward Rein and Company, but suddenly, he was frozen on the spot. He hit the ice as a popsicle with the same expression on his face, he clearly didn't see this attack coming.

"Rein! You have to be careful, you just made a mistake and froze that guy!" Vindicate pointed to Smoker in shock, he was clearly acting shock!

"My bad, I didn't mean to do it, I'll pray for forgiveness for my terrible mistake!" Rein put his hand on his face and started making sniffling sound as if he was crying. Tashigi almost fainted from seeing their obvious fake performance!

"Everyone, let's go, I'll repent later after I'm done being pirate!" Rein suddenly changed back to normal as they all ran to the ship. There were so many marines knocked out on the ice.

"That was one crazy battle!" Nami and Nojiko were watching the battle the whole time, it was like watching a show.

"Yeah, a battle that I wish had never happened." Vindicate was tired and walked off to his room

"It goes to show you that not even numbers can win a battle in this world in some cases." Rein said, "Erica, melt the ice now, let's go!" Erica grinned and looked at Smoker, she then shot fire at the ice all around. With that, it began to melt at crazy speeds visible to the eye!

Nami shift the wheel of the ship and drifted the ship away. Many marines began to wake up once they were exposed to the water. Tashigi quickly went over to Smoker despite her wounds to save him from drowning.

After five minutes, more Marines sh.i.p.s arrived as back up, but Rein and his crew were already gone.
