------------------------------------------
The Grand Line, Paradise.
Under the sky veiled with dark clouds, Ren's ship approaches another pirate ship, but a massive storm is currently raging at sea.
The calm sea just minutes ago is now different, the unpredictable weather of the Grand Line was truly hidden.
The waves crash violently, drawn with frightening white lines that divide and fade into the tumultuous sea.
*Rumble!!*
*Boom!*
The sound of the escalating winds rises, blending with the screams of the sea and the thunder, creating eerie tunes playing the symphony of the storm.
Raindrops fall forcefully, as if armies of fiery tongues descend recklessly onto the ship.
The sky gleams with stunning lightning flashes, illuminating the ship's path and revealing the shadows of the relentless waves that it bravely surpasses.
At this time, all the girls had already come up to the deck, watching the storm and then the approaching pirate ship.
Nami, Nojiko, and Mikita were already prepared for battle; Mikita wanted to see how far she had progressed under Ren's supervision, even though she had only trained for two days.
But if there wasn't a strong person on that ship, plundering it wouldn't be a difficult problem.
The ship bore a pirate flag resembling a tiger, the wild tiger's jaw and fangs stood out against the pirate skull.
"They are the Bloody Tiger Pirates!"
Mikita exclaimed in surprise, as a former bounty hunter she knew who the group of pirates before them were.
"Do you know them?"Ren asked, allowing water droplets to wet his clothes.
He listened carefully to Mikita's words, Nojiko and Nami also focusing on her.
"Their captain is called Jinma, a pirate with a bounty of 150 million đ on his head, It's said that he's a Zoan fruit user, a beast who loves slaughtering villages and civilians"
Mikita began recounting the information she had about this group.
"There's also the Vice Captain, Lorry, a pirate with a bounty of 80 million đ, He's a swordsman who has killed many duelists, There's a rumor that his hobby is..."Mikita paused, hesitating to continue.
"Continue" Ren said, and Mikita, not wanting to oppose him, continued.
"He kidnaps women from the villages he attacks, kills their husbands, and then rapes them!"
The expressions of the girls turned ugly, a mix of shock and anger, but Ren's expression remained unchanged.
He had faced the worst scum during his military service: rapists, pedophiles, cannibals, etc...He had killed them all after suitable torture, and this time wouldn't be different either.
"The damn scoundrel!" Nami cursed, deciding to kill this person.
"I'll make sure to blow his head off," Nojiko said coldly.
"Kyahaha, I want to crush his Head too" Mikita laughed.
The expressions on Kaya, Vivi, and Lorena's faces were angry, even for a kind person like Kaya, she wanted to kill this person called Lorry.
"You can do whatever you want with him, but you must defeat him and his captain first" Ren said, pointing to the approaching ship.
Meanwhile, aboard the Bloody Tiger Pirate ship.
There was a majestic throne on the deck of the ship, where a tall, muscular man with dark skin and a body full of wounds sat.
His face bore a fierce look, with a scar over his right eye, His hear was black, and a tiger's face was tattooed on his chest in bloody red.
"Jinma-sama! There's a ship ahead!" one of the crew members came to him, pointing to Ren's ship.
Jinma looked with his sharp eyes to the ship's deck and saw Ren and the other girls.
Seeing the beauties on the ship, his expression changed to a wicked smile, and a sinister sound came from his mouth: "Plunder the ship, kill the man, and bring the girls here!"
"Aye, Captain!"
"Let's go, men!"
With the pirates' shouts rising, the Vice Captain, Lorry, looked at the girls on the ship with lust.
Lorry was a tall and slim man with dark blond hair, wearing a black mask covering parts of his face, with rough black clothes, and a sword hanging from his waist.
"Lohahaha! Don't touch the girls! We'll bring them safely to the captain!" In the meantime, Ren looked at Jinma and Lorry with a terrifying smile, having decided to torture these whores.
They dared to have thoughts about his girls!
Their fate was decided; not even Angel of death himself would save them.
The pirates were ready to fight, with the Bloody Tiger Pirates wanting to attack first and end the battle quickly.
"Look! What's that?"one of the pirates said when he saw a figure flying towards them.
"It's... coming here!"
"Ahhh!"
*Bang!*
Nojiko, who had used Soru, fired from Falcon and blew off the pirate's head.
"Damn it! Watch out, there's a sniper!" The rest of the pirates were quickly alerted, but at that moment, another cry came.
*Swoosh!*
"Ahh! My hand!"
Another cannon fodder's hand was cut off, and Nami, who had jumped onto the ship, had already taken out her sword.
"Prepare for your demise!" she said coldly as she cut down another pirate randomly.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Swoosh!*
*Slash!*
*Clang!*
The pirate ship descended into chaos, gunfire and clashing swords echoing everywhere, thunder roaring louder, and the storm intensifying.
Nami walked among the pirates, cutting them down with a swing or two of her sword, while Nojiko remained airborne despite the fierce winds and decapitated pirates.
"Aghhh!"
A scream erupted from another cannon fodder as his friends looked on, seeing a woman standing on him, her heel embedded in his body.
"Hehehe~ Let me join the fun too" Mikita laughed, seeing a pirate shouting as he swung his sword towards her.
Mikita dodged the strike, her weight suddenly becoming 1 kilogram, then she used her umbrella to ascend into the sky.
"It seems the weather is a bit unfavorable..." Mikita frowned as she saw the wind pushing her away from the ship.
She returned to her normal weight and fell again onto one of the pirates, crushing his bones and guts.
"Damn it! Kill this whore!" A pirate roared, wielding a large axe and gesturing towards Mikita.
"This...!" The pirate was surprised when he saw Mikita standing in place, gripping his hand tightly.
"Argh! This is painful, damn it! Let go!" The pirate couldn't move Mikita, whose weight had become 10,000 kilograms.
"Kyahahaha, of course I'll let you go." Mikita released the pirate's hand and kicked him in the stomach, causing him to fall, before she rose slightly into the sky and increased her weight to crush the pirate's body.
"What an effective fighting tactic, as Captain said, only with cannon fodder" muttered Mikita as she looked at the pirates who continued to come.
*Squeak!*
*Clash!*
*Squeak!*
Two swords clashed forcefully, with thunder and lightning announcing a deadly battle, as Nami looked angrily at the tall man in front of her.
"So, you're Vice Captain Lorry?"
Lorry looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, his gaze still on her body,"Hehehe, what do you say, beautiful? How about surrendering and coming with me?"
Nami snorted coldly upon hearing Lorry's words, her movements becoming faster and stronger.
*Swoosh!!*
"It's better for you to prepare yourself for what's going to happen to you" Nami laughed mockingly as she waved her sword towards his chest.
Lorry didn't know what the girl meant by her words, but he sweated as he felt the great power behind her sword strikes.
"It seems I need to get serious, I'll show you my skills, I'll show you why they call The Wild Leopard!"
After his words, his attacks became faster, the tables turned in a few moves, but Nami wasn't easy either; she quickly kept up with Lorry.
She tightened her grip on her sword and waved it, She didn't know what kind of sword Lorry had, but it held up well against her attacks, The eyes behind Lorry's mask became increasingly worried minute by minute.
"Haahh!" Lorry roared and sent a compressed air blade towards Nami, The blade, two meters long, flew towards her, but she quickly responded.
*Swoosh!*
*Swoosh!*
She countered with a compressed blade of sword energy, clashing with Lorry's attack and creating a commotion all around.
"This girl?!" Lorry felt anxious; he was confident he could finish her with this attack, as it was the one that had killed countless fodder and some weak duelists!
The reason for his high bounties was that he and his captain always attacked civilians, but when they encountered a strong enemy, they always changed their direction.
"Is that all you've got?" Nami laughed and quickly rushed towards Lorry with a killing intent in her eyes.
"Don't worry...I won't kill you, You'll experience something worse than death!"
Nami's voice was colder than the strong storm around them, Lorry's face paled, and he advanced towards Nami in madness.
"Big words, You little girl!"
*Soru!*
Nami moved in front of Lorry, waved her sword, and gathered all her Haki in it, along with the sword's energy, creating a large blade three meters long.
*Swoosh!!*
"Argghh!"
Lorry screamed in pain as the blade injured his chest, He fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Nami looked at his fallen sword and picked it up, then stood in front of Lorry and punched him in the face.
*Boom!*
Several teeth broke, and his nose bled.
The black mask flew off due to the blow, revealing an ugly and disfigured face.
"Disgusting and repulsive!" Nami spat on him and kicked him hard.
*Bam!*
Lorry broke some wooden crates and fainted, his face swollen and disfigured from the beating, while blood flowed from his chest.
"Stay there for a few minutes while I take care of your captain" Nami spat on him again and left the place.
"Lorry-sama has been defeated!"
"How did this happen?"
"Argh!" the pirates who Nami passed by screamed, None of them escaped, she cut them all down, Some were lucky enough to only lose a limb or two, but they would die from bleeding.
Jinma, the leader of the Bloody Tiger Pirates, was bleeding.
Blood leaked from his shoulder, Jinma glared at the blue-haired woman with anger and hatred.
"Come down here, you whore!"
"No" Nojiko replied as she focused on Falcon, preparing to strike him again.
Jinma roared in madness; the sniper had hit him before he could even transform into his Zon form.
*Roar!!*
He snarled in anger, activating his demonic fruit powers.
"I'll show you why I'm called the Bloodied Tiger!!"
His massive muscles grew larger, his hands turning into tiger paws with sharp claws, his body hair turning red and striped.
His teeth turned into savage fangs, and his eyes resembled those of a wild beast.
*Roar...*
*Growl!!*
Without warning, he leaped in his beastly form towards Nojiko.
His sharp claws aimed for her head.
"!!"
Nojiko was shocked by his ability to jump to such a distance; she escaped using Geppo and landed on the rooftop.
"Roar! You've finally decided to land, Ruhuhuhahaha!!"Jinma laughed madly and pounced on Nojiko again.
He was incredibly fast, his transformations multiplying his speed several times, along with his strength and endurance, plus the wound on his shoulder had already closed!
He reached Nojiko in seconds and lashed out with his sharp claws to rip her heart out and devour it.
Nojiko frowned at the speed of this Monster, feeling that if she were to receive this attack, her body would be pierced.
*Swoosh!*
She disappeared from her spot and retreated a few meters using Soru.
*Roar!!*
"Do you just know how to escape?! women?!"Jinma roared fiercely and chased Nojiko again.
*Bang!*
Nojiko dodged his strike, hitting the wooden wall nearby, causing a large hole and numerous cracks around it.
Nojiko swallowed a bit but quickly regained her composure and grabbed her weapon.
*Geppo!*
*Bang!*
Before Jinma could react, Nojiko fired and hit his chest.
"Ugh... that stings a bit, but it's not enough!!"
Jinma growled as he looked at the bullet that had embedded itself slightly in his chest; his wound began to slowly close.
"This bullet isn't ordinary..."Jinma glanced at the deformed bullet but quickly refocused on Nojiko.
"We'll see if it's enough or not!" Nojiko said coldly and fired again; Jinma dodged the bullet but still grazed his wrist.
"What kind of weapon is this?! Normal bullets don't even scratch me!"Jinma roared in anger and confusion.
But Nojiko didn't want to chat with him; she kept moving in the air while firing at Jinma, who couldn't keep up with the speed of the bullets despite his speed.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bam!*
*Bang!*
After several minutes, Jinma was panting as he looked at Nojiko floating in the air.
His body was riddled with small holes and wounds, blood oozing, and the expression of pain was evident on his face.
"Do you know if this is enough or not?" Nojiko smiled when she saw Jinma's condition; she hadn't mastered Armament Haki yet and couldn't integrate it with her bullets, or she could kill this person with a single shot!
"Huff... huff...you bitch!!"Jinma screamed and roared like a beast; his speed and endurance diminished due to Nojiko's relentless attacks, no longer in the same state he was at the beginning of the fight.
*Boom!!*
*Arghh!! Roar!!*
Jinma screamed as he felt his bones screaming in pain; some had already been broken!
"Kyahahaha~ You've let your guard down!" Mikita laughed with her usual smile; she had been observing Nojiko and Jinma's battle from the beginning, looking for an opportunity to intervene.
When she saw that Nojiko had gained the upper hand over Jinma and that the latter was starting to tire, she decided to intervene with a sudden strike.
Mikita was excited; she had never hesitated in her life that she would have the opportunity to participate in such battles and kill someone with such a high bounty.
Mikita moved her foot away from Jinma's back and held onto her umbrella, but suddenly, Jinma roared and endured the pain in his body; he targeted Mikita!
"Die!" Jinma roared and waved his claws around her body; he wanted to tear her chest apart and take her heart for dinner!
"!!"
"Mikita! Watch out!"
Mikita froze in place; Jinma's speed was much higher than hers.
She had thought that Jinma wouldn't be able to get up since his bones were broken, but this monster wanted to drag her down to hell with him.
Was her negligence the reason for her death?
Nojiko gritted her teeth; she wanted to do something, but it was impossible to descend to the surface and reach Mikita in a second.
All these thoughts passed in just a second; Jinma's claw approached her body.
She closed her eyes, awaiting her death.
But nothing happened.
After several seconds, Mikita felt that something was wrong; she opened her eyes and looked with horror and joy at the scene in front of her.
Ren was holding Jinma's hand, his expression cold, and his hand covered with Haki weaponry pressed Jinma's hand with force.
"How dare you attack my crew members?" His voice was as cold as death to Jinma.
He didn't know where this person came from or what he wanted, but he knew he wouldn't live much longer.
*Crack!*
*Splash!*
Ren used his strength to press on Jinma's wrist, the sound of bones crushing was heard, and in the next moment, his wrist was severed!
"Aaahhh!!!"
Jinma screamed in madness, the pain was unbearable, the pain of having your wrist dragged until it was torn off.
"This is a small punishment for your hand that dared to try to touch my crew members..."Ren remained unfazed by Jinma's screams, he threw the severed hand into the sea with force and looked at Mikita.
He smiled as he looked at the shocked girl:"Are you alright, Mikita?"
Mikita was very relieved, she just escaped death, and the person who saved her was the man she initially hated.
She hated him at first when he hit her and forced her to join his crew, but her fear of him outweighed her hatred, so she didn't dare to show it.
And when he started to train her and showed genuine interest in strengthening her, that hatred began to fade although there was still a slight resentment from him.
Hatred doesn't disappear in just a few days unless there's a valid reason.
And now, there was no hatred or resentment in Mikita's heart, only gratitude.
Hot tears streamed down her eyes and she opened her mouth then said with a trembling voice, "I...thought I was going to die, Captain...Thank you, thank you so much!"
Ren sighed when he saw Mikita's condition, he knew accidents could happen which is why he followed the girls to the ship to protect them from any unexpected incidents.
"Captain!~ I'm here!" Nami's voice came to break the sad atmosphere, Mikita didn't want Nami to see her crying, although Nojiko did, she wiped her tears and tried to return to her usual mood.
But there was still a slight redness in her eyes and nose, evidence of her crying.
"Hmm? What happened to you, Mikita? Are you okay?" Nami looked at Mikita, Mikita didn't want to answer because it was embarrassing, but before she could speak, Nojiko spoke.
Nojiko told her what happened and how Ren saved Mikita, and how she started crying, Nami quickly laughed and started teasing Mikita because of it.
"Nami, Who is that?"
Ren looked at the person who lost consciousness, he was dragged by a rope tied around his neck, Nami grabbed the end of the rope and dragged him all the way to Ren.
'By the way, why do I feel like this scene is familiar? Does Nami have a hobby of dragging people by rope?' Ren thought to himself.
"This is the fucking Vice captain" Nami said, and quickly turned Mikita and Nojiko's attention to him.
"Rapists must die!"
"Let me deal with him, while you can do whatever you want with the captain there" Ren pointed to Jinma, who had lost consciousness due to pain.
He paused for a moment then added:"But don't kill him."
The girls didn't know why, but they nodded to him.
Ren grabbed Lorry and hit him on the chest.
"Aaah!"
The pain made him wake up from his coma, the first thing he saw was Ren's cold face.
"Y-you...you're the Black Death!"
Lorry recognized Ren and could only shiver.
He was a person with a 240 million đ bounty on his head!
"Please don't kill me! I'll become your slave and do whatever you want, but please spare my life!"
"Boring." Ren lifted Lorry by his neck into the sky, the storm was still raging as lightning and thunder struck, making the scene even more terrifying.
He grabbed his arm, and began to drag it little by little... He started applying more force in his hand.
"Wait...What are you doing?! Aaah!! Please, no, no, no!!" Realization hit Lory's mind like lightning when he guessed what he was going to do, he wanted to tear his arm!
*Crack~!*
*Rip~!*
"Aaah!!"
Lory screamed in pain as he felt his arm tearing, his tendons snapped and his skin peeled off due to friction.
Ren tore off his first arm and threw it into the sea, then moved on to the second one.
"Please don't do this!!"
"Just kill me..."
Ren scoffed at him:"No, I won't let you die so easily, do you dare to look at my girls?"
Anger began to escalate in Ren, he tore Lorry's second arm with even greater ferocity and threw it for the hungry fish to eat.
The ground beneath Lorry's suspended body was filled with blood and severed arm fibers.
The thick, metallic smell of blood spread throughout the area, Ren wasn't done yet, he grabbed his ear.
"Wait...! Are you a demon?! Please don't do this! I won't do it again! Just kill me!"
*Slice~!*
Lory couldn't scream anymore, he was about to faint from the pain when he saw Ren throw his torn ear into the sea.
He did the same thing to his other ear.
Lorry became deaf.
Ren opened Lorry's mouth and pulled out his tongue, then with a cold expression he said:"You're too noisy."
Lory couldn't hear him, he intended to commit suicide by biting his tongue, but Ren didn't allow him.
*Rip~!*
Everything was quiet, except for Jinma's screams as he was tortured by the girls.
Ren threw Lorry's tongue, then sighed, releasing the nearly fainting Lorry, and threw him high in the sky.
Lory began to fall towards Ren, who covered his hand with Armament Haki and tightened his grip into a punch.
*Boom!!*
*Splash!!*
Ren's punch pierced Lory's chest and dug directly into his heart.
Ren grabbed his heart and pulled it out of his body, then without looking at it, he threw it away.
He threw him into the sea, and did the same thing with Lorri's dead body.
"We're done here."
Ren cleaned his hands from the blood and stood in front of the girls.
He looked at Jinma, who had passed out, her limbs severed and thrown in front of her body, Ren knew he was on the brink of death.
"Good job" he said to the girls. Nami's expression was natural, and she cleared the way for him, along with Nojiko, while Mikita wasn't accustomed to this sight but forced herself to continue.
After all ,This man had tried to kill!
*Bang!*
Ren ended his suffering with a bullet in His head, Jinma died, and the next step was to take his Devil Fruit.
After ordering the system, a strange scene caught the girls' attention.
Blood floated from Jinma's body into the air and began to spin and merge together.
A ball of red blood formed above his body, and after several seconds, a scene shocked the girls to the core.
There was a fruit resembling an apple, but it was yellow with spiral shapes in every corner of the fruit.
Without a doubt, it was a Devil Fruit!
"This..."
"It's a Devil Fruit?!"
"How?!"
Even the calm girls found this sight shocking.
"It's my ability, I can extract the Devil Fruit from the person I kill" Ren shocked them with another Information.
"Wow...I've never heard of anything like this before" Mikita said in awe. Her captain amazed her with new things day after day.
"Humph, nothing is impossible for Captain Ren" Nami said proudly as she looked at Ren.
"Fufufu~ I agree with Nami on this" Nojiko added.
Ren smiled at the girls, instructing them to return to the ship while he looted the pirates' ship.
The girls complied and returned, while Ren looked at the ship filled with pirate corpses.
All the pirates had been eliminated.
Ren entered the rooms and began searching for something useful and valuable.
Finding nothing, he went to the storage room, which was a sturdy iron door.
*Boom!!*
"Tsk, it's quite tough, I don't have time to search for the key."
Ren continued to pound the door and eventually managed to break it. He entered the room and looked at the scene there.
It was filled with gold and jewels, seemingly the treasure trove for this pirate group.
There were many berries and gold, as well as various types of firearms and swords.
"The infinity space."
He waved his hand, and a blue beam appeared, All the treasures, money, and weapons disappeared from the room.
"My work here is done."
Ren left the ship and returned to the girls, They greeted him, and he responded with a smile.
"Fire!"
With a gesture from his hand, Nojiko controlled the ship's cannons and bombarded the pirate ship.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
The bombardment continued until the ship sank into the sea, taking with it the bodies and aspirations of the pirates.
Ren looked at the scene calmly, then turned his attention to the system notifications.
Seeing the rewards, he smiled faintly and looked at Mikita.
"It's time to give some things to this girl."
