Reaching The Grand Line!

Rein and company continued safely without being pursued by any marines. The battle was pretty good and got their blood running fast. This battle would be similar to the upcoming future battle, the paramount war, but on a far greater scale.

Rein had gotten around 30 to 40 thousand system Points from that battle, he had also received a notification after the battle was over.

[Secret Mission!] Declaration as a Pirate! [Completed!}

[Ding! Handing out mission Rewards!]

⭑Congratulations Rein, you've received: 10 Attribute Points!

⭑Congratulations Rein, you've received: 5000 System Points!

⭑Congratulations Rein, you've received: Body Strengthening Pill (Full body) (x3)

⭑Congratulations Rein, you've received: Bronze Token

The thing he noticed was the Body pills, he had received 3 of them! "Nice! they're full-body pills which aren't even sold on the system." This would strengthen the body much faster and it'll help one learn techniques much quicker.

As of now, they were really close to the Calm Belt, he made sure to tell Nami to stay away from it. Nami seemed to fear the calm belt very much, she already knew what lurked in the calm belt and felt dread just thinking about it.

Vindicate walked back onto the deck with an angry expression.

"Someone took a dump on my bed, it was a huge load on my pillow!" Vindicate instinctively glared at the Cheshire cat on Nojiko's head.

"Gasp! Shara, did you use the bathroom on Vindicate's pillow?" Nojiko was stunned, she actually held her laughter in and looked seriously at the Cat.

"Ah! Sorry, I thought it was a place where I could use the bathroom!" The Cheshire cat looked surprised as it opened its mouth wide. But if you looked closely, you could tell that the cat's eyes were laughing like no tomorrow.

"That's it! I'm going to strangle this cat!"

"Wait! Calm down, I'll have her clean it up!" Nojiko hurridly to speak before things went too far.

"Sigh, okay, just keep a hold on that annoying thing." Vindicate could only sigh. Nojiko made the Cheshire Cat clean up the mess soon after.

"Hahaha!! You actually named it Shara, I just can't!" Kuina broke out into wild laughter with tears in her eyes, she started to beat on the table with her fist in laughter.

"Hmph! That's the best name for her, what would you name her?" Before Kuina could answer her question, Rein immediately cut in.

"Okay, you three, I have something to give you guys that I'm sure you'll need!" With those words, they froze their conversation and looked towards Rein. He was sitting at the table drinking some juice of some sort.

"What do you have for us?" Three of them said at the same time.

"Well, it is for later, so I can't give it to you now, but it's coming soon." Rein wanted to give them the body strengthening pills, but the time wasn't right. Once they found an island to settle down a bit at, then it would be the right time.

"Aw, that's so lame!" Nojiko pouted and went back into the ship.

"Nojiko! Make sure that cat cleans all that poop off my bed!" Vindicate ran after Nojiko to make sure the cat did what she ordered it to do.

"Kuina, do you only want to use one Sword? I thought you were a double-bladed swordswoman?"

"Originally I'm a single-bladed swordsman but I can use two swords as well if I can find another good one like this." Rein was surprised, he originally thought she was duo bladed swordsman!

"Something I didn't catch onto while watching one piece, I see!"

"Huh? What was that?"

"Oh, nothing, just talking to myself!" Rein shook his head and began to drink his pineapple juice. He looked at the surroundings and found them familiar.

"This is the spot where that Island will rise next year, that dragon island of some sort." Rein remembered about some reincarnation of those dragons from the show. It was where the fat marines by the name of Nelson Royale would cause trouble for some girl and Luffy's crew to some degree.

"Luffy will have to go against that guy before coming into the grand line." Rein nodded and said no more. So far, there were no marines around this place like it was in the show, but within a year, they will appear here.

Time passed and they spotted another island up ahead, it was Warship Island!

"Do we make a stop here on this island or keep going?" Nami asked. Rein had good eyesight and could see some of the natives, they had grave expressions on their faces from seeing this pirate ship.

"No, we'll head to the grand line, ignore this island." Rein didn't need anything from this island so what was the point in stopping here?

Nami did just that and ignored the island. Time passed slowly, she didn't need to always steer the ship but set it for a direction. Nami went to sit with Erica, they talked about many things and their past experiences.

Nami talked about Bellemere with Erica, she actually opened up about that!

Rein decided to look over the system a bit, he saw that he could buy a gravity machine and even become a blacksmith. If he became a blacksmith, then the proficiency of his sword creation card would improve.

Sadly, the Gravity machine was just too pricey to buy right now. "When I do buy it, I'll add it to my island later." Rein also knew that if you entered the New world, you would be stuck in a dilemma.

You either joined the Yonko or were against them, they controlled that place with an iron fist. This was another reason why many pirates like Kid, Hawkins, and other Super Novas formed an alliance to take them down.

The night was setting in soon but they arrived at Reverse mountain. At this time, everyone was on the deck for this moment. "What a strange current, it goes straight upward, that doesn't make any sense!" Kuina looked at the current with a puzzled expression.

"The current should lead us straight into the Grand Line, this is the way in without going over the Calm belt!" Nami didn't want to be anywhere near the calm belt, this was the same for Rein.

"This current looks a little too fast, doesn't it?" Vindicate was a bit worried about the fast current.

"It's okay, if you fall in, I'll save you but you better hold on tight, this current is fast!" Rein was feeling excited, his adventure was truly about to start.

"....." Vindicate was speechless

With that, the ship approached the current and was caught in it almost immediately. The upstream had several ring gates around it that led upward.

Erica: Whoa! This is so fun~!

Nojiko: This is amazing!

Vindicate: Crap! I think I'm going to be sick!

Rein: Just like a rollercoaster, this is both scary and fun!

Nami: Yahooo~!

Kuina: I've never enjoyed such a ride like this before!

Rein and Company had no problem getting up the stream, they didn't have to look out from crashing like Luffy did in the original. Luffy had to use his body to block them from crashing into the side of the upstream walls.

Rein had 1 extra Crew member than Luffy upon entering the Grand line. Rein planned to recruit the rest of his crew in the grand line when he found some good ones.

"Oh, It's the clouds, this is so fun, I would love to enjoy rides like this more!" Erica had jumped onto the lookout of the ship and exclaimed joyously.

"When will it be over!?" Vindicate expression turned green, he was feeling sickly.

"Not for a bit, so you have to persevere through a bit more!" Rein made sure to stay away from Vindicate if he threw up or something.

"Are those clouds? We're so high up!" Suddenly, the group broke through some clouds and flew into the air.

They were now heading downstream and into the grand line!

"Never again, we can never do this again!" Vindicate was on the verge.

"What are you talking about, this is amazing, I would love to do this again!" Kuina spoke louder than usual, it was raining with dark clouds in the sky.

"Whoaaaa`~! I second that!" Nojiko said.

"We're so close, it really happening!" Rein smiled and said.

Suddenly, the group broke through another layer of clouds, but they were far thicker than the last, it was hard to see ahead at this point.

"HOMMMM!"

"Huh? What was that sound just now?" Erica looked into the distance, she could have sworn she heard something.

"I didn't hear anything," Nojiko said as she looked ahead.

"Oh, shoot!" Rein had just remembered that it was a huge whale waiting here!

"Prepare to stop the ship as best we're able, it's a giant whale up ahead!" Rein hurriedly and said. It would be a disaster if he crashed into such a big thing!

"A whale?" Erica frowned hearing this, was it the terrifying sea king Nami was talking about?

"HOOOMMMM!"

Another loud sound resounded the area, everyone could hear it clearly now as they got closer. At that moment, it had appeared before them.

Laboon!

"Crap, the brakes, help me with the brakes!" Nami was scared out of her wits, everyone rushed over to help except Vindicate and Rein. Vindicate was feeling too sickly while Rein was waiting to use his power of ice to avoid the whale.

"Ah! Harder!" The four girls worked hard and pulled onto the brakes, while Rein quickly created a little slideway that went around the whale. Rein looked up at Laboon in awe, he was way bigger than a Blue whale back in his world. He could only imagine that huge elephant that carried that island of furries on its back!

However, they safely manage to avoid hitting Laboon and causing the destruction of their ship.

"'Pant Pant' That was close, I thought we were dead!" Nami heaved a sigh of relief with tears in her eyes. Everyone else was panting and feeling relieved as well, this whale was super massive!

[Ding! Mission Unlocked!]

Rein wanted to look at the mission, but suddenly!

"HOOoooM!"

Laboon roared and began to shift its body, its whole body started to reveal itself. Originally he had his head sticking out of the water only, but now Laboon started to float on the water.

"Fuck! Steer the ship away from him!" Rein was shocked, he was so close to it that he might get rammed, it was something he feared most right now. Suddenly, a bubble popped up around the ship, but it was still hit by Laboon and knocked away.

"Ah!"

"Hold on!"

"Crap, this is horrible!"

They were sent sailing some ways away, but they were safely away from Laboon Kill Zone! Fortunately, the Cheshire cat put up a bouncy bubble to protect the ship from damage.

"Pant, is it over?" Erica looked up and said.

"Yeah, we're away from him, so we should be good for now." Rein sighed in relief, they were at risk of possibly being swallowed, and that was something he wanted to avoid.

"What in the world, what am I seeing!?" Vindicate stood up and looked at Laboon. A door was suddenly opened on Laboon's backside and a boat came out of it!

"There's a door on a whale!? Goodness, I've truly seen it all today!" Nojiko couldn't believe what she was seeing, how was something like that even possible?

Rein scratched his eyebrows and looked closely, he could see the person opening the door, but now he was closing it.

Crocus!

This person came to mind immediately. The door had finally closed, so he looked towards the boat that came out of Laboon's backside.

What he saw surprised him, but it made him smile happily. There were two people tied up on the boat, it was Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday! "The people on that boat, we'll hold those two has hostages, so capture them!"

"Hostages?" Kuina looked confused, since when had they taken hostages.

"Don't worry, we need them for our first big event in the Grand Line, we won't hurt them, of course!" Rein grinned and looked back at the system. Nami thought they could potentially be people she could rob so she was up for it.

[Mission Unlocked!]

[Corrupted Light: Survive 30 minutes in a battle against ???!]

[Mission Rewards!]

⭑ Glint-Glint Fruit, Model: White Light (Variant Logia)

⭑ ???

⭑ Devil Fruit Token (Gold)

"What? Who? Why does it not show the individual's name!?" Rein was irritated looking at the mission! This mission didn't tell him who he had to survive a confrontation with, was it playing with him!?

The moment he entered the Grand Line he received a mission, what did this mean?

Slam!

Bump!

Suddenly, the two tied up people were brought on board and thrown to the floor by Vindicate.

"Ouch! Can you be a bit more easy on this prince!?" Mr.9 groaned from the fall and said. Rein looked over, it was the real Vivi, the actual thing from the show!

Vivi was younger this time around with the age of 15, she was a year younger than Luffy and Rein. As of now, she had her hair in the same manner as the show, it was a ponytail.

"Oh, sorry!" Vindicate shrugged and stepped back.

"Hehe, I have some questions for you guys, for the people who keep trying to kill a whale!" Rein stretched, he knew this was the reason they were here to begin with.
