Variant Types!

"....." Mr9 turned away with a harumph

"A prince? You're no prince, you look like some homeless wannabe prince!" Kuina looked at Mr.9 in contempt, he looked like some failed prince of trash!

"H-how could dare to disrespect this great prince of all?" Mr.9 seemed to struggle with is words, he wasn't in a good position to trash talk.

"Yeah, I'll ignore you for now." Kuina turned away to wipe her sword. They looked at Miss Wednesday and saw that she was knocked out this whole time.

Rein walked over to Mr.9 slowly and chopped him on the neck with his hand, knocking him out. Soon after, they were both taken to the captain room on the deck until they were to wake up. Nojiko kept an eye on them for the meantime, she made sure they were alright while she was at it.

The ship didn't have an anchor, so to stop them from moving, Rein froze around the ship to stop its advances. Both Erica and Kuina were training at the back of the ship, Erica was working on Haki while Kuina was working on Soru.

Vindicate was trying to get those Pistols that Nojiko gave him to work. Nami sat at a table with a map, she was drawing new parts on it. Rein walked over and could see that she was drawing reverse mountain and the islands they had passed.

Rein told her the names of some of the islands. It could be said that she had already drawn out the whole east blue at this point. Nami did many jobs in the east blue when she was working for Arlong, so she explored a lot of places there.

Rein thought for a moment and bought a Virtual map from the system. This map was empty and cheap to buy, it could be drawn on to create a nice 3D image of the places she explored. "Here, take this, it will help you much better than drawing on paper, this is the high tech stuff."

The item was a device that looked like a circular pad. Once you pushed the button on top of it, it would reveal an empty map that you would have to fill out! Nami had a storage device so she could carry many things with her anywhere.

"T-This.. Where did you get something like this from?" Nami was surprised to see something so high in tech, but Doflamingo had some pretty good stuff too.

"I've had it for a while now, it was given to me long ago, but now it's yours. Use it to create a map of the places you've explored, it much easier and convenient to use." Rein said. She could easily incorporate the places she had drawn onto the Virtual Map.

"Thanks, this will help much better than just drawing it!" Nami smiled and began to migrate her maps to the Virtual Device right away.

With that, Rein decided to check the mission he received, he had seen the strange Devil Fruit. The fruit was a Variant type like Erica's black Flare-Flare Fruit. The missions now gave him a choice, he could decline to do them or accept them. But why would he decline a mission like this?

"Alright, let's check and see what that Variant Glint Fruit can do, it should be better, I hope!" Rein looked at the 3D project to watch its capabilities. Needless to say, Rein was quite impressed and happy with the result of its abilities. The fruit was indeed better than the Yellow light Glint-Glint Fruit!

This fruit could do everything the Glint-Glint fruit could do, but it didn't require one to bounce off things to get to a location in a hurry. The Fruit was sort of like Holy Light, it could heal people's wounds, but not their sicknesses, they would need to train and practice more with the fruit for that.

The fruit could also purify things like polluted water or any corrosive things like poison or rust. Magellan and Ceaser clown would be instantly countered by this fruit. It could do more in its awakened form but that was when it was awakened.

"This fruit is a must, it's way too good to pass up!" He'd be really stupid to just decline this mission, he wasn't sure who he had to fight but it was clearly someone he couldn't beat! Rein speculated who it could be and he didn't like it at all!

"Oh, goodness, I hope it isn't him!" Rein frowned just thinking about it.

Suddenly, Nojiko came downstairs from the captain's room.

"The woman has woken up, she is also trash-talking me about letting her go." Nojiko looked annoyed when saying this. Rein followed her back to the room and saw that she had indeed awoken.

"Where is that old man, he won't stop us from doing what we have to do!" Vivi or in this case, Miss Wednesday smiled smugly.

"Yeah, you were probably knock out by him and thrown out like this fake prince here." Rein took a seat and sat down.

"I am the princess and he is the prince, do you know who we are because if he did, hehe!" Vivi was acting arrogant but he knew this was an act to blend in, she was a spy that wanted to infiltrate Mr.0's organization.

"Oh, and who are you? If you're someone so important, I'll be scared and let you go." Rein sat back with his hands behind his head.

"Hmph! I'm Miss Wednesday and if you don't let me go, it'll only spell disaster for you pirates!" Miss Wednesday spoke arrogantly again which made Nojiko smack her over the head.

"Ouch! Y-You!" Miss Wednesday glared at Nojiko and Nojiko glared back, causing Miss Wednesday to look down and away.

"You must have forgotten who's in control here, maybe we should throw you to the sharks for a midnight snack!" Nojiko looked at Rein and winked for him to go along with it.

"Oh, Yes, I saw a few massive sharps swimming around our ship, they looked hungry." Rein grinned "No one will ever know that you guys were eaten, they'll never trace it back to us, you'll die without a grave, and in the worse way!"

"Ah! w-wait, don't kill us! We only wanted to kill the whale to feed the people on our home island! If you take us back safely, you'll be rewarded generously!" Miss Wednesday was now scared silly that she nearly exposed what their organization was.

"Oh, really? Okay, take us to your home island you're talking about, I love rewards." Rein nodded and untied the two. Mr.9 fell to the ground and hit his head on the wooden floor and woke up instantly.

"Ah! what's going on? My neck, oh, my neck hurts so much!" Mr.9 woke up talking nonsense while holding his neck, but he managed to stand up.

Miss Wednesday stood up and began to search her clothes, but found that what she was looking for wasn't there. "No, My Log pose is missing, where did it go? We're doomed, we'll never find our way back, it's over!" Miss Wednesday began to panic seeing that her log pose was missing.

"Oh, are you looking for this?" Rein had taken the log pose from her body when they were knocked out.

"Gasp! Please, help us get back home!" Both Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday got on their knees and begged.

"Yes, yes, she is right, we beg you and we'll even give you many gifts when we get back!" Mr.9 hurriedly and said.

"Of course, we'll help you guys get back, be sure to reward us as you said or else." Rein said with a smile.

"Huh? Hmm, I guess since they're giving out rewards then it shouldn't be too bad." Nojiko said thoughtfully.

"Hehe, yes, I expect the rewards to be very generous!" But suddenly, Nami walked in. Rein looked at her with concern, they were technically rich as heck right now, what more do you want!?

"Yes, yes, they'll be really generous!" Mr.9 looked up and spoke quickly, his forehead was very sweaty at this point.

Moments later, they began to set sail to Whisky Peak.

......

Logue Town Marine Base.

Smoker sat behind his desk, he was recently unthawed from the Icy sneak attack of Rein. His face remained unchanged but his eyes were serious and full of annoyance. It was clear that Smoker wasn't a very happy camper right now, everyone present remained quiet in the room seeing this.

The media took pictures of the fight he had with Erica in the town and the battle on the ice, which was surely going to become headline news! Smoker found Rein's report, but just when Smoker was about to read it, the Den Den Mushi went off!

"Hello! Rear Admiral Axor!" Smoker hurriedly and saluted.

"What happened out there, you had one job and you couldn't stop these pirates from advancing to the grand line!" Axor wasn't happy about this but Smoker was sort of a special Captain that he really couldn't command.

"Sir, I didn't get to read his report because of the sudden flow of pirates in the past month. It was stated that his crew went missing for about a week." Smoker couldn't properly check anything, there were just too many pirates coming to this place all of sudden.

"I was going to tell you that he appeared on Myriad Island, it was reported by Captain Copper sometime ago. But nope, you appeared to have already met him and lost to him!" The East Blue was the weakest sea and the most peaceful, how could this have happened?

"I may have underestimated them a bit, I was... Frozen solid by the enemy pirate! This pirate is more dangerous than I thought, he has the ability to freeze things, it is suspected that he has a Paramecia freezing ability." Smoker said sighing.

"You really didn't read the report, it was reported that he could fly and could use some sort of Darkness ability! I'm not too sure about the details, but this came in from Castleford Island!"

Axor had read the report many times and thought he was seeing things, what type of devil fruit could do all of this? "Ah, I'll be sure to read it thoroughly, in fact, I was just about to read until you called." Smoker mumbled with the Cigars in his mouth.

"What was the fatality rate during that battle on the ice?" Axor ignored Smoker's comment and countered with a question.

"The number isn't good, we have two very injured Lt. Juniors and.... " Smoker paused and sighed "One dead Lt. junior from the battle, he was blown away without a body to be found."

"As for the rest, I'll send you the written report on the battle later." It was too much to explain right now, he would rather write it instead.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for it, but until then, keep taking down any pirate that stops by Logue Town." Just when Axor was about to hang up, Smoker stopped him.

"Wait! I have a request!" Smoker said quickly.

"What is it, Captain?" Axor was already mad at this point, this didn't look good on the marine's part. Smoker's defeat had lost them quite a bit of face, they wanted to stop the news from spreading but the newspapers were already released by some unknown source.

"I request to pursue Rain Man and his crew of pirates!" Smoker spoke firmly about this request, he wanted to take down Rein, Erica and, Vindicate. Their abilities were far too dangerous, he couldn't allow them to grow any further.

"Hahaha! I knew you would ask this, but you can't leave Logue town for now. You are to be station there until next year, that's when you can leave Logue town as you please!" Axor felt good about himself due to his prediction, he knew this question was coming.

"..." Smoker remained silent.

"Well, do you understand?" Axor asked laughing.

"I...I understand!" Smoker didn't care too much, it wasn't like he could beat Rein anyway, he had made a great and sad self discover of that.

"Alright, see you then!" With that, Axor hung the Den Den Mushi up.

"Jeez! That guy is so annoying, I understand that you're upset Captain!" Tashigi was listening the whole time, this guy seemed a bit too full of himself.

"It's okay, there are stronger Marines in the grand line and it's ruled by the World Government. We'll see how far they can go before they're caught or killed by the big shots in the marines." Smoker lit his two cigars, he wasn't really bothered by Axor's attitude, he had seen many high ranked marines like this before.

Rein's ship.

"What is this, the weather keeps changing!" Suddenly, it started to rain, then eventually it started to snow, it didn't stop there as it became windy!

"What kind of place is this!? This is madness!" Vindicate was stunned.

"The Log pose keeps changing to East then west, it can't make up its mind!" Nami looked at the Log pose on her risk with shock.

"Oh, shoot! lookout, it a Glacier!" Nojiko pointed to the glacier in shock. Nami quickly steered the ship around the Glacier before they could crash into it.

"Haha, you guys must be noobies of the grand line, it fortunate that you guys are with us!" Miss Wednesday sneered.

Nojiko glared at Miss Wednesday and she quickly looked away. Suddenly, the island known as Whisky Peak came into view.

"Gasp! We're home!

"ByeBye, Baby!" Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday jumped into the water and waved. They then swam away towards the island. Rein had already seen this coming so he wasn't surprised in the least.

"Hey, you owe us some rewards! Stop them from escaping!" Nami's greedy self was the first to speak.

"Relax, we're heading to the island anyway, they can't escape, we won't let them." Rein continued to drink his pineapple juice with no worries.

"Mhm! Let's head to the island right away." Erica wanted to see some of the islands in the grand line, so she was a bit excited. Everyone nodded as they continued to Whisky Peak!
