One Piece:The Lust System

Chapter 4: [4]Tashigi's first appearance



[Edited.]

After Ren killed the five pirates, he began cleaning up the crime scene.

As he pulled out the bloodied bodies and checked their pockets for anything valuable, he noticed that the face of one of these pirates seemed somewhat familiar.

He wondered where he had seen it before and then quickly remembered.

"Oh! This idiot must be the same pirate whose head is worth 5,000,000. What was his name again? Bandin?"

"It doesn't matter. Since you died by my hand, let me send you to the Navy branch. I really need money right now."

Ren felt a little disappointed after checking all five pockets and not finding any Belly.

'Poor freaking people.'

Ren hid the bodies of the four pirates, except for Bandin, whom he planned to hand over to the Marines in order to cash in on the reward.

Then he suddenly remembered something important.

"During the previous fight, I heard a notification from the system in my mind, but I wasn't in a position to check it. Now that I've completed the mission, I must collect my reward!" Ren smiled expectantly.

[Ding! Mission completed and "Rokushiki" obtained. Rankyaku obtained!]

[Description: Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) is one of the six Marine techniques that allows the user to generate slicing winds of force using the strength of their legs. This projectile appears as a wave of energy from the user's leg, generated by someone with a high level of strength and speed in their legs. These compressed air blades are incredibly powerful, able to easily cut through people and objects alike.]

"Oh, I got an offensive style! This came at the right time. I can't fight Arlong with just bullets and guns, but with the Marine's six styles, I can do it!"

Ren was indeed very lucky. With the Tempest Kick, he could approach Arlong Park now with more confidence.

Immediately after the system message, a scroll appeared in Ren's hand with "Rankyaku" written in bold. He executed the system's instructions and internally said: "Consumption."

In the next moment, the scroll disappeared from Ren's hand, and he began to feel a burning sensation spreading throughout his body, especially in his legs. He felt that his legs had become several times stronger!

Ren felt that he could run faster, and his physical fitness and agility had increased. He sensed that he could dodge bullets now after consuming the scroll.

"Oh... what a good feeling! Strength is flowing through my veins and body." "Status"

"My physical strength has increased by 2500 points, yet my body is still level 'E.' I wonder when I will break through to the next level? Anyway, I still have this pirate to hand over to the Marines first."

He grabbed Bandin's body and lifted it. The body was stained with blood and had four visible holes in the chest. Ren wrapped the dead pirate's clothes in the chest area to keep them from getting dirty, then carried him and left the narrow street.

Ren arrived at the Loguetown Marine Branch while carrying Bandin on his shoulder, attracting several glances on the way, but no one dared to stop him when they saw the pirate on his shoulder.

To these simple citizens, a pirate with a 5 million Belly bounty was a terrifying person.

As for Ren, he didn't care about the various opinions of these citizens; his focus was now on the Marine branch, specifically the leader, Smoker.

"Smoker, the man who ate the Logia Fruit 'Moku-Moku no Mi' (Smoke-Smoke) and became a smoke human. Normal physical attacks and bullets no longer affected him, allowing him to deal with many East Blue pirates who knew nothing about Haki."

"Also, Smoker is someone who comes from Marineford, the main Marine headquarters. He was trained there by the best and most skilled teachers. If he hadn't stayed in East Blue for so many years, he would have learned Haki long ago."

"Even without Haki, the powers of Logia Fruits are considered invincible, even to people in the first half of the Grand Line, but things are different in the 'New World,' where there are many monsters who have awakened Haki."

Ren arrived in front of the Marine Branch and saw two Marines guarding the entrance.

"Stop."

One of the soldiers motioned for Ren to stop, then looked at the body he was carrying and said

in a formal tone:

"Are you a bounty hunter?"

"Yes, I met this pirate on the way and thought I would bring him here."

Ren lied shamelessly. There was no harm in acting like a bounty hunter now. He wouldn't go up to Smoker and tell him that he was a pirate and going to become the Pirate King or something like that, right? Ren wasn't Luffy, and he wouldn't let Smoker chase him and bother him while he still needed power.

Ren didn't have "the most dangerous criminal in the world" as a father and didn't have a grandfather called "Marine Hero" who chased down the Pirate King several times. Also, he didn't have a brother who was the second in command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He only had the system, and the rewards of the system didn't come for free; he had to go through a lot of problems to complete it... except maybe for the sex missions...?

"Okay, come with me."

The Marine's voice quickly brought him out of his thoughts.

Ren followed the Marine and entered the Marine Branch building while attracting the attention of some people, but they didn't stop; it seemed that everyone had work to take care of and didn't have time to mind their own business.

Soon, a beautiful girl appeared before Ren.

Standing in the corridor was a girl of medium height with short dark blue hair and a pair of beautiful black eyes that drew attention.

She was wearing a short-sleeved shirt of different colors while holding her sword in her hand,

looking toward Ren.

"Tashigi-san!"

When the Marine saw Tashigi in front of him, he quickly greeted her in a respectful tone.

Tashigi was very popular in this city. Her beautiful appearance and gentle personality helped boost her popularity, but what was more important was her strength.

Other than Smoker, she was the second most powerful person in Loguetown's Marine Branch.

"Hi, who is this...?"

Tashigi returned the greeting, then looked at the handsome man in front of her with an

inquiring tone.

"He's a bounty hunter who has captured a pirate and wants to claim his bounty," the Marine

quickly explained.

On the other hand, Ren was looking at this beautiful girl in front of him, occasionally letting

his gaze wander.

'I expected to meet her here, but I didn't think things would go this fast. However, compared

to her future self after the timeskip, Tashigi is still lacking... especially in certain areas...

cough!'

"Hi, I'm Ren."

Ren smiled sweetly at Tashigi, who was looking at his handsome face and gentle smile,

blushing.

"So, Ren-san, you said you wanted to get this pirate's reward, right?" Tashigi tried to hide her embarrassment by shifting the topic to the reward.

She also ordered the Marine who came with Ren to return to his work and that she would lead Ren to obtain his rewards after confirming the identity of the pirate.

Tashigi kept chatting with him about various topics, such as what weapon he used and when

he started working as a bounty hunter.

Ren, who had watched the One Piece anime, knew that Tashigi wasn't trying to extract information from him or anything like that; she was just a talkative girl.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

In order to gain her interest, Ren told her that he was a swordsman who had broken his sword

in

a fight and had to use his gun to fight.

After Tashigi learned that he was a swordsman, the topic quickly shifted to swords and the methods of swordsmen.

Fortunately, Ren, who was familiar with various information from One Piece, was able to

answer Tashigi's questions.

Then, after a few minutes of talking, Tashigi stopped in front of one of the rooms and

knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Soon, a hoarse voice reached Ren's ears.

It was Smoker's voice.
