One Piece:The Lust System

Chapter 48: [48]Arrival To Grand Line



[3500 words]Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The blue sky sparkled with the bright rays of the sun, while the calm sea was adorned with multiple colors ranging from deep blue to emerald green.

The sun's rays intersected with the gently rolling waves, creating a magical shimmer on the surface of the water.

On the horizon, A pirate ship appeared, steadfastly crossing the waves, there sails swayed gently with the whisper of the soft winds, making the ship look like it was diving into an artistic painting amidst the serene scene, blending the beauty and tranquility of the sea.

On the ship's deck, A handsome man with blue hair could be seen wielding his sword tirelessly.

No one knew for how long that person had been slicing through the air with his sword, perhaps tens of times, hundreds of times, or even thousands of times.

"Houuuf!!"

"10019!"

.

"10020!"

"10021!"

.

...

"11000!"

Ren gritted his teeth fiercely and felt his hand trembling, but he continued waving his sword without any complaint.

He had left Loguetown hours ago, and after discussing his plans with Tashigi, he had no reason to stay.

Ren didn't waste his time and utilized the few remaining hours for training.

Sweat continued to pour down until it formed a small pool beneath him. His muscular chest was bare, his tight and polished muscles almost screaming from the pain.

"Finished!"

With his final swing, Ren exerted all his Stamina, resulting in a sword energy measuring 2 meters in length and half a meter in width.

*Swoosh!*

The sword energy struck the water violently, suddenly making the calm sea noisy.

After a few moments, calm returned to the sea, and Ren also stopped training after exhausting all his physical strength.

He felt it, he felt himself becoming stronger and stronger, He felt his swordsmanship skills evolving at a terrifying rate.

Suddenly, as Ren lay on the wooden floor in a "Y" shape, Nojiko came out with fruit juice and a towel in her hand.

She came to Ren's side and handed him his juice, Ren drank it and felt refreshed while Nojiko wiped the sweat off his chest and the rest of his body.

"How's it going?"Ren asked her, clearly referring to her training.

Nojiko showed her a rare beautiful smile and replied to her beloved, "I'm quickly adapting to Falcon, This weapon is very good."

Nojiko decided to name the sniper rifle she received from Ren "Falcon."

She stopped for a short while and continued, "But I still lack physical strength compared to you."

"It's natural, I constantly train my body because I'm more prone to engaging in close combat, while your role as a sniper makes you lie in wait from afar."

He held her and placed her on a stone, while Nojiko drew circles with her finger on Ren's bare chest as she listened to him, "But that doesn't excuse you from neglecting physical training~" he said playfully when he saw her aggressive expression.

Then in the next few minutes, Ren engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Nojiko.

Naturally, he had the upper hand, being more experienced and stronger than Nojiko, which allowed him to end the fight whenever he wanted.

But that's not what he wanted, He wanted to improve Nojiko's performance in close combat, and that's what happened.

Soon, Nojiko began to keep up with Ren, who deliberately reduced his strength to match hers. *Thud~* He threw his fist towards Nojiko, who quickly dodged his attack and countered with a kick.

With the sound of compressed air, she kicked towards Ren's head, but he caught her foot that reached his face at the last moment and struck her other foot, causing her to fall.

"Ah!" With a stifled sigh, Nojiko adjusted her position and stood up again to engage in another fierce battle.

[After 30 minutes.]

*Thud*

*Thud*

*Thud*

Exhausted, Nojiko gasped for air desperately, the scuffle with Ren was extremely tiring, although he deliberately adjusted his strength during it, she still couldn't keep up with him.

"Good job Nojiko."

After hearing Ren's words, Nojiko nodded her head to him and approached him.

*Kiss~*

Without any warning, she closed her lips with an affectionate kiss, Ren responded by holding her waist and continued to kiss her.

"Ahh.."

"Ann-"

Nojiko moaned as she felt Ren's hand playing with her Ass, while the kiss was interrupted, forming a bridge of saliva, which made Ren flip her even more.

"Let's go somewhere else.."

When Nojiko heard Ren's words, she became more aggressive in kissing him, and they reached

their room, avoiding Nami and the others.

What happened next was "another kind of training" after training.

[After 1 hour]

All members of Ren's crew were on the ship's deck, with Ren also present with them.

"I see it! That's the Reverse Mountain."

This world was divided into four quarters: North Blue, West Blue, South Blue, and East Blue.

There was a piece of land about 10,000 meters high orbiting around the planet's center, called

the Red Line.

It directly intersects with this extension of the sea, known as the Grand Line, These two together divide the world into four quarters.

The only way to enter the Grand Line was by climbing Reverse Mountain. In each quarter of the world, there is a table that ascends to the top of the mountain and drops the person into

the Grand Line.

Pirates couldn't cross the Grand Line from the sides because there was an extension of the ocean protecting it from entry from the sides, through these extensions of the ocean, known by another name" the Calm Belt" no currents flow, which means that ships that are not Log Pose-equipped cannot cross the Calm Belt.

[The illustration pic here]

Even those who can sail through it will encounter Sea Kings that could sink their ships.

Once a pirate ship enters the Grand Line, they immediately realize that the laws of nature do not apply in this part of the ocean, and navigation in the Grand Line is almost impossible unless the navigator is equipped with proper tools.

The most important tool for every navigator to navigate the Grand Line is the Log Pose.

Ordinary compasses were useless in this part of the ocean, meaning that the Log Pose was the only thing navigators could rely on.

The Log Pose syncs with the magnetic field of the island they are on and the nearby islands, and based on that, it determines the path forward in the Grand Line.

The time required for the Log Pose to fully adapt to a specific magnetic field depends on the

island the user is on.

After Nami finished explaining how the ocean works and the natural phenomena in the Grand Line, they were already sailing up Reverse Mountain.

The weather became extremely stormy, and heavy rain began to fall, but Ren was still standing in front of the ship's helm, looking at this scene deeply.

"We'll start descending from the valley now!" Nami said with a hint of excitement.

She never imagined that one day she would sail to the Grand Line.

Many things had happened, but she had finally reached this place. "I've returned to the Grand Line after a long time..."Bell-mère's voice sounded.

She came out of her spiritual form and made sure to take advantage of the five minutes she

could spend in the outside world, watching this scene.

Kaya and Lorena were overwhelmed by the majesty of the Grand Line.

*Boom!*

*Crash!*

Thunder roared angrily, and stormy weather spread over the turbulent sea, intensifying with

each passing second.

But Ren looked at this scene with a faint smile, then shouted:

"Remember well! These are the first steps of our long journey!" "Yeeeah Captain!!!" Nami, Nojiko, Kaya, and even Lorena shouted, feeling the excitement.

"Lorena, regarding the Western Blue and the Kingdom of Sakura, we won't be able to go there

for now" Ren said with a dark smile.

Lorena didn't doubt anything and smiled, She nodded her head and said; "Captain Ren can

take all the time he needs."

"Good."Ren withdrew his gaze and returned to see the ship descending rapidly from the

valley to the Grand Line.

"Rhahahaha~The Grand Line, here I come!"

*Boom!*

*Clang!*

*Thud!*

It seemed like the ocean was angry at Ren's challenging words; the storm intensified, thunder

rumbled angrily, and the rain poured down.

"I can feel it! We're about to descend!" Nami exclaimed excitedly, and immediately after that,

the ship crashed forcefully.

*Splash!*

*Scatter!!*

*Scatter!!*

Ren's ship plunged forcefully into the sea and continued its path, leaving the angry storm

behind them, and the sky cleared, The sun returned to cast its rays on the living creatures

mercifully.

"We're finally here, in The paradise!" Ren whispered, feeling a touch of excitement in his cold

heart.

Nami, wearing orange clothes that revealed her alluring cleavage, approached Ren and

brought her face close to his, looking at him with love and kissing him lightly, Ren didn't

object to the girl's actions and said:

"Our next destination is Cactus Island." Nami nodded and took out the Log Pose from her pocket.

"This is the Log Pose we got from Tashigi specifically for Cactus Island."

In the previous meeting, Tashigi brought them a Log Pose specific to Cactus Island after Ren

requested it through the Den Den Mushi.

"Our target will be some people on that island... They're Baroque Works agents" Ren

addressed everyone now.

Ren explained a lot of things to them, the Baroque Works organization that operates in

bounty hunting, but at the same time, the organization that Crocodile established to execute his plans around Arabasta Kingdom.

"Are they strong?" Nojiko asked with a cold smile as she inspected her weapon.

"Not much, I'm sure you can take care of them" Ren patted her head.

Only Nami and Nojiko would participate in this battle naturally; Kaya and Lorena had no

fighting power.

Ren told them about the trickery done by bounty hunters in Whiskey Peak, the village on

Cactus Island, so the girls had a preemptive warning and wouldn't fall into the trap of the kindness that people there would show them.

After finishing giving instructions, Ren began to think about something important. "Will I meet that princess there?" He was referring to the princess of Arabasta, Nefertari Vivi.

Ren didn't encounter that whale Laboon on his way to the Grand Line, nor did he hear its cries, The child's fate wasn't determined yet.

Moreover, he entered the Grand Line before Luffy, meaning Vivi hadn't gone to catch Laboon

as in the Canon.

So, is she present in Whisky Peak disguised as one of Baroque Works' agents?

This possibility was significant, as Whisky Peak was a gathering place for Baroque Works'

agents at the entrance to the Grand Line.

After activating his memory, Ren remembered all the agents who should be there.

"Miss All Sunday, Mr. 9, Mr. 8 (Igaram), Miss Wednesday (Vivi), Mr.5 and Miss Valentine should also arrive...But maybe they won't arrive at this time if Baroque's intelligence discovers the spies more quickly and sends them to Whisky Peak earlier!"

"There's still a chance they'll come! So, the total number of agents becomes six!" Ren smiled

cunningly as he thought of the strong blow he would deliver to the crocodile.

Ren didn't know that his guess was already correct.

Crocodile, feeling urgency due to the sudden appearance of a new pirate with a large bounty, ordered Miss All Sunday to intensify her search for the spy.

Miss All Sunday already knew the identity of the spy, and when she sensed the crocodile's urgency, she had to reveal Vivi's identity, In a moment of anger, Crocodile sent Mr. 5 and Miss

Valentine to kill Vivi and Igaram.

Miss All Sunday followed them to ensure that everything was going according to plan.

But the crocodile wouldn't know that the decision he made would result in many losses.

.

[Next day]

Nami looked at the island in front of her and shouted, "Captain! We've reached the island!" After hearing Nami's voice, everyone came out to the deck to see the scene before them.

Whisky Peak was characterized by several rocky mountains topped with multiple tombs, The

shape of the mountains with the tombs gave the appearance of a giant cactus, hence the island's name.

[Whisky Peak pic here]

Ren looked around and saw a large Graveyard, with tombstones clustered together to form a

scene resembling cactus spines.

Sapoten Graveyard was a Graveyard spread across several giant mountains in the shape of a cactus, with multiple graves on top, giving the mountains the appearance of cactus spines, and several names could be seen written on the tombstones.

[Sapoten Graveyard pic here]

The pirate ship sailed into the river flowing through Whisky Peak, allowing ships to dock

inland.

Nami and the girls looked cautiously at the scene before them, The river divided the town into

two parts, with buildings spread on both sides.

[The river pic here]

Scores of people began emerging from their houses, wearing friendly smiles on their faces,

Ren looked at them with a faint smile.

"Welcome to our island!" "Hello, adventurers!"

"We're delighted to have you!" "Wow!They're amazing!"

The residents deliberately raised their voices to be heard by Ren and his crew, but their

expressions didn't change, Ren had warned them beforehand.

Igaram led the crowd, and the ship stopped at the port, Igaram found a perfect opportunity to deceive these pirates.

Knowing that the man on the ship's deck was the New pirate, the Black Death, but also possessing extensive experience in hunting pirates in addition to his original identity as the

royal guard captain of Arabasta. "Ohhh~"

"Ummm- Ohhhh~"

"Welcome to our humble island- I wonder if you'd like to spend some time relaxing?"

With a cunning smile, he said in a gentle voice.

Ren and his crew pretended to be ignorant, accepting Igaram's invitation to drink at the bar,

After Igaram led them to the bar, he signaled to the bounty hunters to attack after they passed

out from drinking.

"Enjoy yourselves! All the drinks here are on us!"

"Please drink and enjoy until you're tipsy!"

The bounty hunters cheered and showed their kindness to Ren and his crew.

"Their acting is flawless" Nojiko said in a low voice, only heard by Nami and the other girls

with her.

"When will we take our move?" This time, it was Nami who spoke, impatiently touching the sword hanging from her waist.

"Not yet, The captain hasn't given the signal yet." Saying this, Nojiko looked at Ren, who was surrounded by beautiful girls, Igaram had used the "honey trap" just as he had with Sanji in the Canon, but Ren didn't show the doglike expression Sanji did, Instead, he maintained a cold expression while allowing the girls to play with him.

"Tch!" Nojiko sighed, keeping the faces of the girls in mind, eager to deal with them later.

"Protect me, Nojiko~" Lorena was drinking wine and starting to show signs of intoxication, Nojiko lightly tapped her on the head and scolded her.

"Get back to your senses, girl!" Nojiko's cold voice was more than enough to wake Lorena

from her drunken state.

The party continued without problems, and Ren drank the wine but hi didn't passed out.

"Isn't it taking them too long?" Mr. 9 said, a man wearing a crown on his head, behaving like

a prince, He had short red hair and two tattoos shaped like question marks.

He wore green attire except for his white collar and sleeve ends, along with an orange scarf

around his neck.

"Be patient a little longer" Igaram said, looking at Ren with a serious expression.

'Why isn't he passed out yet?' He quickly averted his gaze from Ren, fearing he might be

discovered.

"There's something wrong" a soft voice came from the woman sitting with Igaram and Mr. 9. It was Vivi, currently known as Miss Wednesday.

Vivi wore a blue bra with white circles, and a light green jacket with white edges, Her bottom consisted of white high-heeled shoes and short white pants. She wielded a Slasher weapon, which doubled as her belt, adorned with jewels resembling peacock feathers, Her hair was

tied in a ponytail with a red iron hoop. "I don't know..but I have a bad feeling about this" she said.

At Ren's table, a beautiful woman drew circles on Ren's chest, which looked muscular under

his clothes. She laughed lightly while other girls served wine to Ren. "Um... Ren-sama~ Can you tell me something?"the conversation caught the attention of

Nojiko and Nami, who listened intently. "Hmm? What is it?" Ren said with a faint smile.

The beautiful woman leaned close to Ren's ear, deliberately making him feel her warm

breath, and asked, "Does Ren-sama love me?"

*Crack!*

Nojiko crushed the wine glass in her hand, restraining the urge to point her gun at the woman

and blow her away.

Nami, who was about to draw her sword and cut the woman to a million pieces, kept her

composure.

No one except Kaya and Lorena noticed their condition, but they continued to listen to the

conversation.

Ren's expression turned cold.

He opened his mouth and said with a chilling voice: "You're pretty, little whore, You might be

considered average, but to fall in love with you? You won't have that honor no matter what!" *Crack~!*

*Crash!!*

After finishing his words, Ren grabbed the woman's hand forcefully and pressed it hard.

The beautiful woman's neck was broken, but Ren didn't pay her any attention and easily

threw her body towards the other girls.

"Rankyaku!"

He shouted coldly and kicked the air. Sharp blades emerged out of nowhere and cut through

the air towards the other girls.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, so no one could react quickly.

"Kyaaa!"

"It hurts!!"

"Ahhh! Help me!"

The girls screamed as the blue energy blades cut through them. Within seconds, they stopped

breathing as their fragile bodies were cut under the impact of Ren's Rankyaku. "Attack!"Igaram shouted angrily as he witnessed what Ren had done. This person was indeed decisive and ruthless in his actions!

"Damn it, the plan failed!" Igaram cursed loudly.

Vivi watched the scene of blood and corpses, restraining herself from collapsing, and said: "I

knew this would happen due to the wrong direction!"

While Mr. 9 was on the attack, at this moment.

*Bang!!*

"Ah!!"

Mr. 9 screamed in pain as he felt a bullet pierce his shoulder.

He looked in the direction of the shooter and saw the woman with blue hair holding a strange

weapon and aiming towards him.

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!*

*Bang!!*

Three bullets were fired rapidly, with a few seconds to reload the weapon, It took less than

half a minute to pierce Mr. 9's body with bullets. Unfortunately, the third shot hit his head, He stopped breathing and died, His body fell to the

hard ground, blood flowing from it.

*Swoosh!!*

*Swoosh!!*

Nami wasn't lagging behind either. While Nojiko remained in place to protect Lorena and

Kaya, Nami moved among the crowds, gracefully cutting them with her sword.

A few energy blades could be seen emanating from her sword from time to time, No one escaped her sword strikes, and she left behind only corpses, death, and fresh blood. "What... What's happening here, damn it?!" Igaram looked at the massacre in horror, having witnessed many fierce battles but never seen such a one-sided massacre before! Ren looked at the battlefield, which was a previous playground, calmly. "Yoo~ Captain of the Royal Guards of Arabasta kingdom, and Miss Wednesday, or The

princess Vivi"

"!!!"

Igaram and Vivi felt a cold shiver as they heard someone refer to them by their true identities,

Fear gripped their hearts, and panic spread through them quickly.

'Have we been discovered?! How?!' Igaram screamed madly in his mind.

Vivi, looking at Ren with fear, felt her legs weaken, The scene of the previous massacre was

still vivid in her mind.

The battlefield was chaotic, filled with screams of bounty hunters, while Nojiko fired her

"Falcon" and dropped them with a single shot to the head.

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Swoosh!!*

While Nami tore through the bodies of bounty hunters, her crazed smile never left her face as

she plunged into the slaughter.

A desperate bounty hunter approached and swung his sword at her, She raised her blood-

stained sword and deflected her opponent's blade.

*Clang!*

*Creak!*

*Snap!*

With Nami's physical strength, she shattered the opponent's sword and immediately slashed

hers, injuring the bounty hunter's chest, causing him to fall dead.

*Bang!*

Another person fired a bullet at Nami, but she disappeared from her place in an instant and

appeared in front of him.

"Soru!"

Soru was a powerful addition to Nami, making regular bullets useless against her.

*Swoosh!*

*Slice!*

With her sword, she cut through the unfortunate pirate's head, separating his body from his

head.

Nami and Nojiko continued to reap souls, rapidly reducing the number of bounty hunters. "Kyahahaha~ Looks like you're having fun here!"
