Conflicts In Logue Town!

[Congratulations Rein, you've won: Ship Coating!]

[Congratulations Rein, you've won: (Bronze) Training Card!]

[Congratulations Rein, you've won: Plant-Plant Fruit! (Paramecia)]

Rein rubbed his forehead, the items didn't seem bad but there wasn't much that came out of the Silver Token. "At least I have a system, this is cheating in itself, so I shouldn't complain about what I get."

The Ship coating would form a bubble-like membrane over the ship for diving purposes, it would protect the ship from the high pressure of the depth of the sea. "No need to dive anywhere, I'll just take the normal way to reach the Grandline." He currently had 7 Devil fruits but he noticed that missions weren't popping up as often as before.

He was thinking of either heading to the North blue to recruit Law or to find his own doctor on the way. After thinking about it for a bit, it would be better to leave Law alone, he would serve to help his brother a lot in the future. With Law being with him, it wouldn't be so, he'll let some event happen while he'll change some as well.

Author Note: Lol! I just want to make my own doctor. I already have characters from the show, so I want to get my own. Sorry if some of you are disappointed with me not getting Law. It's much more fun to make people instead. xD

Rein looked at the system store, he had enough to buy the weather fruit but not enough Skill points.

At this time, it would make sense for Monkey D. Dragon to show up to make sure Rein made it safely to the grand line. Sadly, he couldn't keep up with Rein unlike Luffy who was out there and easy to find and track. Rein even covered up his face, he didn't even know if Rein became a pirate or not, so how could he show up here in Logue Town?

Rein stretched and started playing solitaire, it was a solo card game like most know of. Suddenly, he stood up and looked into the distance, he saw a grey white and black cloud colliding with one another.

"What the.. black and grey clouds?" Rein scratched his eyebrows and concluded it to be so, he didn't pay any mind to it and continued his game of solitaire.

Logue Town.

Vindicate bought himself a nice long Black coat with fur around the collar, it had light armor in it as well.

"I think these boot would look amazing on you, I think you should buy them." The old man made his suggestion to Vindicate.

"These boots don't look bad, I'll take them!" Vindicate agreed with the old man's choice. The old man smiled and checked Vindicate's items out.

He was done with this place and decided to head back to the ship.

"Hiyaa!"

Suddenly, a sword stabbed towards him.

Swoosh!

Vindicate jumped out of the way and drew his pistols! "What idiot attacks people in the middle of the damn street?" Vindicate looked at the woman that attacked him, it was Tashigi!

Vindicate looked closely at Tashigi, as images of Kuina and Tashigi rapidly flashed through his mind.

"What in the world? Are you Kuina's crazy twin sister or something?" Vindicate was stunned due to their similarity, they looked almost alike.

"What? Y-you pirate, I don't have a sister! I'm from the marines and I've come to take you down! Surrender now and your sentence will be a bit light, if you don't then expect no mercy!" Tashigi held her sword tightly, she knew what this guy had done and it wasn't something light.

"Surrender? Sorry, but I don't know what that means, but whatever it means, I don't think I would like it." Vindicate said

"Then prepare to be taken down!" Out of nowhere, marines began to surround the area to catch Vindicate.

"Oh, so you've prepared for me, but it won't be good enough my clone friend! Think Fast!" At that moment, Vindicate guns were coated in darkness. He fired at the upcoming marines, but what came out was black lasers that looked like cero! Vindicate was clearly using his devil fruit for this since his hands looked strange.

Boom!!

Several Marines were blown away by the explosion, he didn't use much power as to not kill anyone. Orange energy surrounded the dark beams of light as it blew up near the town square!

"What the hell was that?"

"Run for your life, someone set off a bomb!"

"Those Marines were sent flying when they were trying to surround that man!"

Many people panicked and made a run for it, they had seen many pirates come here before. They usually caused a ruckus but not of this magnitude!

Vindicate looked at Tashigi who was covering her eyes from the wind. He smiled and jumped on the roof of some building to run away. "You! Don't run, get back here you asshole, you killed so many people in that village and you think you can run!?" Tashigi hollered and began to pursue Vindicate.

"Lady! I don't know what they told you but I didn't kill anyone! I was set up by some trash noble who thought he could do anything he wanted!" Vindicate yelled back as he ran.

"You liar, then why are you running!?" Tashigi continued the chase him alone.

"Because you're crazy and you have a sword! You want to catch me, then you must be dreaming, you nerdy swordsman!" Vindicate looked back and sneered.

"You! Who are you calling nerdy!? I'll hit you in that dirty mouth of yours first, then I'll capture you!" Tashigi was angered, he dared to call her nerdy, she seemed to have not heard the crazy part.

Vindicate didn't say anything and shot at the ground she was running on. The attack hit the ground and caused dust to shoot up from the ground and it to shake! Tashigi was stunned and tried to jump over the ditch but fell into it and into the dirty rubble!

"You Shameless asshole!" Vindicate could hear her screams in the distance but only smirked as he continued to run away.

Meanwhile, Kuina and Nojiko were done with their shopping. They were the first to arrive back on the ship. Kuina bought herself a Japanese fox mask that she took an instant liking to when she saw it.

She wore it and trained with it while Rein continued to play Solitaire.

Back in Logue Town.

However, another fight was brewing in the town. The location? It was where the execution of Roger took place.

Erica and Smoker had clashed already but found that their abilities just canceled each other out.

"Turn yourself in Witch Erica, it'll be easier and no one has to get hurt, not you, me, and most importantly, these people!"

"Turn myself in? How stupid, no one's turning anything in, you can forget it! Why do you even bother, you can just ignore me and be on your way." She didn't think the marines would be on her case to this degree, nor did she expect a devil fruit user who could use smoke, Rein didn't mention this!

"I have to capture because you're a pirate!"

"What ridiculous reason!" Erica spoke no more and attacked, she moved quickly by using Soru. Smoker was surprised, he easily recognized the technique but didn't care too much. He put up his Jitte to block her kick.

Sadly, she was quite strong so Smoker was blown back by the attack, he, however, turned into smoke so his recovery was instant. Erica knew he would recover fast so she kept up her assault and elbowed him in the stomach!

They both canceled each other's abilities out so they could also hit each other without Haki.

"Ugh!" Smoker was blown into a building this time under the forceful elbow. Erica had already told Nami to run after she cleared the Marines out for her. Fortunately, Smoker had tagged her with the Jitte tip when she came in for the elbow!

After a little bit, Smoker came out of the rubble in his smoke form.

"Goodness, the Marine Captain is fighting some woman and she knocked him into a building!"

"Did you see that fire, it was black, that ain't natural!"

"Just stay back or you'll be roasted alive, that stuff is seriously hot!"

"Damn, she's fast, did you see how fast she ran off!?" One old man was shocked!

Many people stay away and watched from afar but still couldn't help but gossip seeing this fight. Smoker had always caught anyone he persued so this was news to them. Smoker nearly bit his cigars off his mouth hearing the citizen chatter.

Seeing Smoker's fierce gaze on them, they all covered their mouths. Erica had already run off to the ship, she didn't wait around to continue fighting.

"Damn Pirate!" Smoker ran off as well to catch her, he couldn't let her get away.

Moments later, Vindicate spotted Nami running in the same direction as himself. She weaved through the streets toward the docking area with a panicked expression. Vindicate went over to her and jumped down in front of her.

"Ah!" Nami stopped in fright seeing the silhouette come down in front of her, he was, after all, wearing different clothes.

"Relax, it's just me, Nami!" Vindicate looked up and said quickly as to prevent her from yelling more.

"Oh!" Nami sighed in relief.

"We have to get Rein and the rest, Erica is fighting some Marine guy who can turn into smoke!" Nami was a bit scared for Erica, but she knew Erica could hold her own from the fight she had with Cloud.

"Turn into smoke? How many of these people are we going to encounter?" Vindicate shook his head.

"Sigh, okay, I'll go back to help her, do you have that Log pose thing Rein told you to buy on our way here?" Vindicate asked, he recalled that Rein couldn't stress the importance of it for the grand line.

"Ah, yeah, I forgot." Nami scratched the back of her with a weird smile.

"Well, quickly go buy it from one of these stores. I'll go back to help Erica with this smoke man you're talking about." He knew from the sound of this ability, that it must be that Logia class power that Rein had explained about.

"Okay, I'll meet you on the ship afterward, I hope!" Nami said nervously! There were plenty of stores that sold Log Pose in this town, it was the main thing that people needed when they came here.

Nami ran off in the other direction while Vindicate turned back to find Erica.

However, at this time, Smoker was riding his motorcycle as he raced down the streets of Logue Town. Erica was pretty fast, so she could even outrun a Motorcycle in hot pursuit.

"White Blow!"

Smoker shot a Giant white grayish smoke fist from his bike towards the fleeing Erica. She was pretty fast, so he had to slow her down in some way.

"Hmph!" Erica turned around and punched the giant fist, her hand was coated in fire!

BOOOooom!

This time, an explosion took place as a giant sphere of Black fire and White gray smoke collided! This sent shockwaves throughout the area! Sadly, many people were caught in this attack, thus Smoker was feeling very regretful.

Vindicate, who was searching for Erica now knew where she was, it was so obvious at this point. Many buildings were destroyed and many people had sadly died from this exchange. Erica sighed but kept running, she had to defend herself, she couldn't be soft right now.

Rein looked up and was easily able to spot the destruction from afar. He stood up from his seat and took to the sky to get a better look.

"So, a fight has broken out, and it looks like Erica may be apart of it!" Rein was expecting this so he wasn't surprised in the least. Erica could handle herself, she would be wise to run, though. Her abilities were too dangerous to be used in a town like this.

Rein shook his head, she probably had no choice but to fight back. Smoker was a persistent person and would continue to chase you until you were caught.

"Did you find out what those strange winds came form?" Nojiko yelled from the ship, Rein was pretty high up but soon came back down.

"Yeah, it looks like a fight has broken out, I'll be back, you guys stay here and wait until then." Kuina wanted to go, so he took her along with him. With that, they flew into the town, to be exact, the area where the smoke was coming from.

Once they arrived, they were met with scorched earth and even some bodies that were charred black.

"Goodness, she definitely went overboard!" Rein frowned, so many dead!

"You! You're also someone on the bounty list, to be exact, it pretty high up there! But I shouldn't call you a you, or should call you Rain Man!" Suddenly, Smoker came out of a building holding some citizens of the town. He had actually given up on trying to capture Erica to save these people!

"Oh, what good guy you are to save the good people of this town." Rein complemented

"Completely opposite to what a pirate like you would ever do!" Smoker's face turned much more serious instantly.

"Well, I was just passing by, but have you seen a girl with really dark blue hair? Rein paused "Oh, and she uses Blackfire!"

"So, you're in cahoots with that witch, I guess that makes you an even greater danger!" He didn't get to fully read the report about Erica but if he did, it clearly said she was in cahoots with him originally.

Smoker was confident, he knew Rein's bounty was the highest in the east blue but believed he could take him down like the rest. Smoker rushed Rein and bared his Jitte to attack him, he was going for a crippling strike.

Rein dodged to the side with ease and chopped down on the Jitte and crushed it into two pieces. He was still weak to Seastone so it was best to not get touched and definitely hit by it.

"Huh?" Smoker back away and looked at his smashed Jitte with a bit of surprise.

"Crushing someone else's stuff isn't a good feat, I guess I'll have to take you down the old fashion way!"

"White Spark!"

Smoker's body turned into smoke as he sent himself flying towards Rein with the means to force him into submission!

"Oh! You're gonna need about 3 more years before you can truly put up a good fight, you're just not ready now." Rein reached his hand out and grabbed Smoker's physical body, he then slammed him into the ground.

"What!?" Tashigi came over and was shocked! Someone was able to touch Smoker!?

Smoker immediately got up and back away. He stared at Rein with surprise, then suddenly blood came from his lips and forehead.

Smoker was aware of Haki to some degree and he knew that these were the only people that could hurt him. Besides the ones that canceled his Devil fruit out like Erica or Ace, who he had yet to meet, this was the only case.

Kuina was with him but she was wearing that Japanese Fox mask she bought from this town. Tashigi ran over beside Smoker with thoughts of helping him.

"So, it appears that you can use 'that ability' to actually hurt me!" Smoker wasn't happy about this, there shouldn't be anyone in the East blue with this type of training.

"I'm just passing by, believe it or not, this was all those nobles fault! Look closely at who you're working for before you judge others." Rein said "I'm in a rush, so I can't stay to fight, I got a whole adventure ahead of me!"

"See ya!"

"Wait, don't try to ru.." Before Smoker could finish, the whole area was shrouded in Darkness!

Once it cleared, Rein and Kuina were already gone!

"Get more marines, we need to lock this island down, no one in or out!" Smoker's facial expression turned grave!
