Ch 20 : Journey to Logue Town

A full three hours later, Rei was lying on the floor with his breath roughened.

These past three hours, he had tried his best to combine the gun in his left hand with the sword in his right hand.

The reason was simple. Before he could learn the flying slash, he would have no way to attack from afar, and that was now what Rei wanted.

He wanted to be able to attack from both near and far, and for that, a combination of gun and sword was needed.

Nonetheless, it was not easy to progress. It has been two hours, but Rei still hasn't got the hang of it.

Fortunately, Hades had been enhanced with infinite bullets. Or else he would be broke for all the bullets he had spent here.

Rei was just about to stand up and continue his training, but at this time, the door opened, and a beautiful girl revealed herself.

" Rei, let's have our-"

Yeah, it was Nami.

But her expression soon turned into horror when she saw Rei was having a rough breath and a tattered appearance.

" Rei! I need you to explain what you are doing here!"

. . . . . . .

After that, a few days had passed.

During these few days, as not to make Rei overexert himself, Nami decided to train with Rei.

And because of that, Rei felt his progress had slowed down a bit. Still, it was not without any gain.

Nami, who in the anime had never gone to practice, now also practiced, and it would somehow increase her survivability in the battle.

Nami's progress had clearly shocked Rei or even made him question the strength of the protagonists' group.

Not long after Nami began training with Rei, she seemed to be able to comprehend the most basic type of observation Haki.

It was not very stable, but it would be very helpful to her in a hard-press battle.

Now that he thought about it, Nami always has the ability to perceive the weather from the start. Is it some kind of premonition that Nami had the observation Haki?

As for Rei, only on the last day could he comprehend the gun and sword battle formation.

Currently, it was still stuck at level two as Rei didn't have that many upgrade points. But nevertheless, it was already very good progress for Rei.

Nami and Rei were standing on the top of the Eden Zero. They were busy discussing what they should do after this.

Just this morning, they bought some east-blue newspaper, and there he found that Rei's name had already appeared on the bounty list.

[ Rei ]

[ Dead or Alive ]

[ 25 million belis]

[ Crime of harassing marine officer and an accomplice of Arlong's pirate.]

Looking at this, Nami was enraged. The thing had been clearly Marine's fault. However, all of them have been shifted to Rei just to make them look better.

It was only after a few minutes of talking, that Rei was finally able to calm down Nami. He had told Nami that he already had considered this matter from the beginning, and he would even go and oppose the world if it was for her.

As of now, Nami, who had been calmed down, was lying on Rei's body.

She kept talking about how the Marine was bad, while Rei could only listen to her with an awkward face.

" By the way, soon we will arrive at Logue Town. What do you think, Rei? Should we take another route?"

" Well... I don't think that is necessary. After all, we could go undercover. With the camouflage robe, I think we should be okay...."

The last few days, Rei had asked Nami to slow down their progress of reaching Logue Town by a lot.

As for the reason, it was none other than because Rei wanted the son of the plot, Luffy, to take the attention from him.

After getting the Marine's wanted poster, Rei knew that any place he landed, he would be wanted by the Marine. And because of that, why not let Luffy take the center of the attention?

It would let him get a safer environment to grow, and he would not be put on the top of the wanted list by the world government. After all, he didn't have his grandparents, father, and elder brother to back him up. Other than that, Rei also had some ideas he wanted to test, and for that, he needed Luffy to arrive at Logue Town first.

And just right, a few days after Rei set sail from the Cocoyasi island, Rei could see Luffy's name in the newspaper.

It wasn't known how Luffy got his bounties, but all he knew was that Luffy got himself a twenty million belies on his head. A bit lower from the original since he didn't defeat Arlong, but it was still enough for now.

A smile began to rose in Rei's mind.

After two years of doing nothing, his prime of life had finally came.

He might act like he didn't care but after transmigration into the world of One Piece, traveling the world and let his name known by everyone was a part of a man romance.

Rei gazes shifted at the sky, imagining all the mess he would done later in the world of One Piece.

' Logue town.. here I come..'
