One Piece:The Lust System

Chapter 61: [61] Rainbase Battle



[3600 Words]

Crocodile was angry.

As an experienced pirate, he always succeeded in executing his plans; no necessary accidents occurred.

Over the years he spent in Paradise, he found it enjoyable to control the fate of weak pirates here.

He had become a Logia user after all.

He had eaten the Sand-Sand Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit, which allowed him to form and manipulate sand, control moving sand and sandstorms, and absorb fluids from the body.

In short, he was very confident in his power, looking disdainfully at his enemies before destroying them.

And now, his meticulously crafted plan faces the danger of failure.

He had patiently spent several years deceiving the inhabitants of this country, making them believe he was a hero, while he was planning to seize the throne, all for one thing: the legendary weapon hidden in Alabasta.

When he laid his hands on this weapon, he would have the ability to challenge The WG! Plus, he would be able to exact revenge on the Whitebeard!

"Desert Girasole!"

Crocodile shouted hoarsely as he attacked Ren.

After shouting the name of his technique, loose sandy blades appeared from his right hand and leaped towards Ren.

*Boom!*

The blades stabbed into the ground, causing the area in front of him to collapse, forming a giant pit of shifting sands, which began to engulf Ren.

Ren had initially dodged Crocodile's blades by using Shave, but he was still within the range of the shifting sands.

"Take this, you Bastard!" Crocodile laughed as he saw Ren being dragged by the shifting sands.

"Hmph, child's play." Ren said, and to Crocodile's surprise, Ren ascended into the sky and freed himself from the shifting sands.

"That's Moonwalk, no doubt about it. This person is using the Six Powers!"

Doberman exclaimed as he recognized Ren's skill.

At first, there was the woman who used Shave and blew the heads off the Baroque Works agents, and now Ren who used Shave and Moonwalk. Everything became clear to Doberman.

He dared not be negligent; his sword remained vigilant as he watched Ren counterattack Crocodile.

He didn't intervene in the battle; he hoped that Ren would kill Crocodile and then he would come and kill Ren, thus killing two birds with one stone.

But things don't always go as planned.

*Boom!!*

Another high explosion occurred, this time hitting Vice Admiral Doberman.

"Vice Admiral!"

"Are you alright, sir?!"

"Who's the attacker?!"

The bewildered marines exclaimed, with Nojiko holding some bullets in her hand and looking at the place where Vice Admiral Doberman exploded.

The smoke cleared, revealing Doberman's face, which didn't seem to be injured, He looked at Nojiko and said:"An intriguing Devil Fruit, but unfortunately... I'll have to kill you here!"

*Whoosh!*

Immediately after his words, he disappeared from his place using Shave and reappeared in front of Nojiko, facing her with his sword.

Nojiko felt the crisis approaching and also used Shave to evade the energy of the Vice Admiral's sword.

She disappeared from her place, avoiding the attack that continued its path and went on to cut some of the Baroque Works members.

Crocodile didn't see this scene because he was in a position that didn't allow him to, trying to defend himself from Ren's punches but to no avail.

*Boom!*

Ren armed his hand and quickly aimed a blow at Crocodile, who couldn't dodge and was sent flying a few meters away.

Mikita fought both the marines and the Baroque Works agents at the same time, Although they were just cannon fodder, she faced some obstacles in fighting against a trained group of

marines.

"All agents! Attack with me!" Crocodile shouted as he stood up and headed towards Ren.

Mr. 1 made a move as well, turning his hand into a sharp blade and then jumping towards Ren. Mr. 2 and Mr. 3 listened to Crocodile's orders and jumped towards Ren.

"Desert La Spada!"

Crocodile formed several solid blades with sharp edges in the shape of a large fan made of sand, then hurled them towards Ren.

"Wax Spear!"

Mr. 3 made a spear out of wax and quickly threw it at Ren.

Ren's expression didn't change. Then, in the next moment, he swung his sword towards the

attacks.

"Death Blade!"

His voice was as cold as an iceberg, a black blade's energy shot out from his sword, swiftly cutting through Mr. 3's wax spear and colliding with Crocodile's attack.

*Boom!!*

*Clang!!*

"Boom!!"

A thunderous sound spread as Crocodile's attack was blocked, The blade continued to advance towards Mr. 3 and Crocodile, but the latter quickly jumped and avoided the blade.

Unfortunately, Mr. 3 couldn't dodge. He was horrified when he saw his joint attack with Sir Crocodile fail.

*Splash!!*

"Aaagh!!"

With a painful cry, a large wound was opened in his chest, and he fell to the ground, soaked in

his own blood.

In the next moment, Mr. 1 arrived behind Ren, targeting his back.

And of course, Ren had noticed him using Observation Haki, but he allowed him to do as he

pleased.

"I got you!" Mr. 1 said coldly, then stabbed his hand, which had turned into a sharp blade, into

Ren's back.

*Screech!*

*Clang~!*

The scene That Mr. 1 expected didn't happen; there was no blood or wound, Instead, there was the sound of metal clashing, Ren's clothes stopping his attack.

"No way!!" Mr. 1 screamed in terror, about to retreat, but he heard a chilling voice that made

him break out in a sweat.

"Where do you think you're going?"

*Boom!!*

Ren delivered a punch infused with Armament Haki to Mr. 1's head. His actions were swift, He.

1 didn't know what hit him, His vision turned black, and then he fainted.

"Crescent Cutlass!"

Crocodile didn't care about the organization members' downfall; he knew the enemy was a

monster, so he had to do his utmost.

Crocodile moved his right arm forward, leaving a crescent-shaped trail of sand behind and

sending it towards

Ren.

Anything that collided with this path would be instantly deprived of moisture due to his

ability to desiccate.

"Storm Kick!"

Ren didn't stand still and waited for Crocodile's attack, He kicked the air, and a blue blade emerged from his foot, the blade's length exceeding 5 meters.

"Storm Kick!"

"Storm Kick!"

"Storm Kick!"

*Boom!!*

*Boom!!*

*Crash!*

"What the hell is happening?!"

"Aaarghhh!! The casino is collapsing! Run!"

"Damn it! Death Black has destroyed the casino!"

The Baroque Works agents screamed and began to flee for their lives, The casino had already

been damaged by Nojiko's explosions initially, and now, after Ren's storm kicks, its

foundations began to crumble.

"You scoundrel! How dare you destroy my casino!" Crocodile shouted and attacked Ren madly, sending sharp sand blades, but Ren managed to evade them all.

*Boom!!*

Another explosion occurred, this time from Nojiko's side, She was fiercely battling the Vice

Admiral and seemed exhausted, while Doberman didn't seem affected, although his suit had

also suffered damage.

"I didn't expect such a strong person in the Black Death crew!" Doberman said in a deep voice, They lacked sufficient information; Death Black had shown high skill, quickly defeating the strongest agents, and even Crocodile couldn't do anything.

"Fufufu~ You haven't seen anything yet." Nojiko laughed sarcastically and grabbed falcon

hanging from her waist.

•

*Bang!!*

*Crash!*

"Boom!!*

After blowing into the gun's barrel and squeezing the trigger, the compressed air bullet

exploded on Doberman's body.

He staggered back a few steps, gritting his teeth in anger.

He screamed in rage, then swung his sword towards Nojiko.

"Die, you evil pirates!!"

"Mikita, the casino is collapsing, Bring the unconscious Mr. 1 and Mr. 3 outside. I don't want

them to die Yet."

Ren, who had knocked Crocodile away, spoke to Mikita, helping her take care of the cannon

fodder before giving her orders.

"Got it, Captain!"

Mikita nodded and watched as Ren left to strike Crocodile again.

Her attention returned to the chaotic battlefield in front of her, and she looked at the Baroque

agents. "Mikita, you traitor!" Miss Doublefinger glared at her angrily. They thought Mikita had been killed, but it turned out she had switched sides.

"Why did you betray us! We were friends!" Mr. 2 said sadly.

"Tsk, who was your friend?" Mikita sneered at him, then made her move. "Finger Gun!" She fired a compressed air bullet from her fingers towards Mr. 2.

"Aghhh!" The bullet wounded his shoulder, drawing blood, but Miss Doublefinger didn't

care, She advanced towards Mikita.

"Hell's Thorns!"

Sharp thorns grew from her fingers and stabbed towards Mikita, who quickly dodged with

precise agility and sent another finger gun towards Miss Doublefinger. Thorns grew under Miss Doublefinger's foot, giving her incredible speed, She managed to

dodge the bullet that hit one of the cannon fodders and killed him.

"Kyahahaha! Die!"

Mikita shouted and chased after Miss Doublefinger, whose face paled when she realized

Mikita's speed was greater than hers.

"Finger Gun: Yellow Lotus!"

"Ahhh!"

Miss Doublefinger screamed as Mikita's finger pierced her shoulder.

Mikita seized this moment, seeing Miss Doublefinger let her guard down, pulled her bloody

finger from her shoulder, making it weigh 1 kilogram, and leaped into the air.

"300 kilograms!" Mikita screamed and landed on Miss Doublefinger, ensuring she wouldn't die because she was

a good witness to Crocodile's crimes.

Miss Doublefinger lost consciousness, Mikita swiftly carried her on her shoulder, grabbed Mr.

1 and Mr. 3, and threw them outside the collapsing casino, She held onto Miss Doublefinger

and left the casino.

"Kyahahaha~" She laughed manically, looking at the scene outside the casino, Baroque Works agents and marines were fleeing from the falling rocks.

While Vice Admiral Doberman fought Nojiko, Hina also joined to help him, Even the Marine

commander, Hisomba, surrounded Nojiko.

Ren glanced at Nojiko's condition grimly as he battled Crocodile, deciding it was time to end

the fight, his demeanor turning serious.

"Listen, Nojiko, leave the casino; it's going to collapse soon!" His voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.

"I won't allow her to leave here alive!"

Doberman said coldly, but immediately after, he felt a bad feeling.

*Shave!!*

"Who are you to say such things?"

Ren appeared behind him swiftly and kicked his foot, covered with Armament Haki, towards

him.

*Boom!!*

*Crash!!*

Doberman was thrown out of the casino like a broken aircraft, unable to even use Armament

Haki to resist the kick.

"Vice Admiral!" Hina screamed in fear, watching the scene unfold. Then she looked at Ren, muttering, "Black Death...!"

Ren glanced at her briefly, then looked at Nojiko."Get out of here, and I'll be there soon."

"Got it!" Nojiko nodded quickly and used Shave to swiftly exit, Ren could hear the screams of

Vice Admiral Doberman, meaning he was clashing with Nojiko again.

"Get out of here if you don't want to die!" Ren told Hina, but she replied, "Hina won't leave!

Hina will stop you here!"

*Boom!*

He appeared in front of her without warning, then punched her in the stomach, sending her

flying out of the casino

.

"The Black Death!" A rough voice came, as Crocodile rose from the rubble, covered in blood

and dirt, lunging at Ren with anger and hatred.

What followed was a fierce physical struggle, with Ren attacking the crocodile with punches

imbued with haki while Crocodile endured the blows; the direction of the battle was clear.

Ren didn't want to kill Crocodile, at least not yet.

*Boom!*

Ren's fist collided with the crocodile's hook and sent him flying backward; He didn't give him

a chance to get up and stomped on his arm.

"Storm Kick!"

"Ahhhh!"

"My hand!!"

Crocodile's scream echoed throughout the nearly deserted casino, reaching even those

outside; some of the most loyal Baroque clients wanted to rush to his aid, but they were all blocked by Mikita, who had killed many of them.

"Kyahaha, trying to escape?" Mikita laughed and clashed with Miss Monday and Mr. 4 and

Miss Christmas.

"Where is Tashigii?!"

Hina yelled as she searched for Tashigi, the girl isn't with her because she had been kicked out

of the casino by Ren's punch.

*Bang!*

She didn't have time to think as an explosion occurred in front of her; Vice Admiral Doberman

was fighting fiercely against Nojiko.

Hina gritted her teeth and decided it wasn't the right time to search for Tashigi; she used her

Devil Fruit ability and tried to restrain Nojiko. Unfortunately, Nojiko escaped using Moonwalk and soared into the sky. "This is bad..." Nojiko sighed as she felt her Stamina diminishing; it had been 2 hours since the battle against Doberman and the Marines who kept coming.

"Damn it...!" Nojiko cursed as she avoided a bullet fired by the Marine commander named

Hisomba.

"Death to the pirates!" Doberman yelled coldly, using Moonwalk to engage with Nojiko in the

air.

·

Inside the casino.

Crocodile's arm was severed from his shoulder, blood flowing like a river as he lay on the

ground panting in pain.

Ren's Storm Kick had Haki, although not much, but enough to cut off Crocodile's hand. Suddenly, Crocodile saw that Miss All Sunday was still inside the casino. "What are you doing?! Help me kill this scoundrel!" Crocodile shouted with ugly expressions.

Was she watching the previous battle without intervening or thinking about helping him?!

"I..." Robin hesitated, she was Crocodile's partner currently, despite betraying him, Yet, she felt conflicted for a moment.

But Ren's voice entered her ears: "Don't hesitate, Robin, Do you know your actions will hurt

the innocent?"

After a brief pause, he sighed and chose his words carefully: "Do you really want to help this

man? Not to mention his actions that will kill millions, and have already killed thousands, There's a chance he might dispose of you after you've read the Poneglyph." "You...! How did you know?!" Crocodile exclaimed in shock, still lying on the ground, unable

to rise.

*Boom!*

A large rock fell from the casino's ceiling, indicating that there wasn't much time left.

Robin pondered Ren's words, becoming certain that he knew her goal in cooperating with

Crocodile-the Poneglyph.

She didn't know how he knew, and she didn't have the capacity to think more, because what

The said next made her tremble:

"Do you think the scholars of Ohara would be pleased if they saw your current state? Contributing to the deaths of millions just for historical stones!" His words carried a touch of reprimand; Ren was trying to awaken her good side, knowing

Robin was a kind girl, so he wasn't ready to kill her without attempting to mend her.

Since he came to this world, he hasn't been righteous, He killed many pirates and Marines, but he didn't harm the innocent people who didn't hurt him. Therefore, what Robin is doing now can be considered an act of terrorism, and this terrorist

act will be dismantled, just as he used to do in his past life.

Robin trembled as she listened to his words, shivers running down her spine beneath the

mask she wore.

But Ren didn't stop there; he continued speaking, saying: "You also know that Professor

Clover, Olvia, Saul, and all your loved ones won't be happy with what you're doing now."

Robin shuddered in shock, How did this person know Saul? He even knows her mother and Professor Clover!

Who the hell is this guy?!

For the first time in many years, Robin felt scared. "Shut up..." she said in a low, fragile voice, threatening to collapse at any moment.

But Ren didn't stop: "Do you also know what the difference is between you and the people who led Buster Call to destroy Ohara? If you prefer discovering history over destroying this country and causing the deaths of millions, then you're the devil child as described by The

WG."

"N-no...Shut up!" Robin screamed, tears streaming beneath her mask. "What are you doing, Miss All Sunday?! You know that I know your true identity?! Don't you

dare betray me!!"

*Boom!*

Ren struck Crocodile's head forcefully, knocking him unconscious.

The casino began to collapse even faster, and rocks fell on the bodies of the victims, revealing

a bloody scene, The smell of thick blood spread everywhere.

"You can go now, Tashigi" Ren said calmly. "Captain," Tashigi replied quietly.

Previously, when Ren threw the Marines out of the casino, Tashigi stayed inside at Ren's

command.

He nodded to her, then looked at the distracted Robin.

He approached her step by step, looking into her blue tearful eyes behind the mask, He

removed her mask, and she didn't resist, Even with Tashigi there, she guessed her identity

when she heard her say "Captain." She looked at his tall figure, a few inches taller than her. "Come...Trust me," he said in a deep voice, like a whispered devil, the devil who might relieve

her pain.

He extended his hand to her, She looked at his strong hand covered in gloves, His clothes were

clean, without any scratches, as if he hadn't been in a fierce battle just now.

"Trust..." For Robin, this was something she hadn't placed in anyone since she was eight

years old.

Since the day she lost everything-her mother, her island, and her dreams. She had become like a ghost, avoiding the eyes of the WG while searching for the Poneglyphs.

Eventually, this desire became more of an obsession than a goal. "Come...I can take you to see the Poneglyph if you want."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I can help you, Robin."

His voice became more enticing to her., Her heart raced with fear, anxiety, and thoughts of

the future.

'What... What have I been doing all these years?' she thought, trying to hold back her tears.

Was he really willing to help her? Was it okay to put her trust in him? Robin had spent 20 years of pain, no longer trusting anyone, she killed many people in the

past; some of them were innocent, but she had to do it to survive.

Now her repressed emotions burst forth...

What Ren had said earlier were things she had tried not to think about and had pushed to the

back of her mind.

Amidst all this anxiety and tension, she felt a soft hand resting on her head.

It was Ren's hand, which he had removed his gloves to let her feel the warmth of his hand.

"Everything's going to be okay."

Robin couldn't bear it anymore, She burst into silent tears, hot tears streaming down her face,

and suppressed her crying.

Tashigi looked at this dramatic scene with sympathy, but she had to alert Ren: "Captain, the

casino is about to collapse!"

He nodded to her, then looked at Robin, who was holding his hand. His Observation Haki

could sense that Nojiko and Mikita were not in danger, although he noticed that Nojiko was beginning to tire.

"Let's go." Ren said, but Robin stopped him and said, "Wait...these are the files you want...to convict Crocodile."

She took out a few folded papers from the split in her chest and handed them to him.

He nodded to her, looking at her with happiness, It seemed that this woman had finally

decided to trust him.

"Take this, Tashigi, and give it to the Marines, You can make up any story you find

appropriate about how you got them."

"Understood, Captain!" Tashigi nodded.

*Boom!*

*Bubble!*

*Boom!*

"The casino is collapsing!" Robin said calmly to Ren.

Ren turned to Tashigi and looked at her with pity, then said, "This will hurt a little."

Tashigi: "Huh.."

*Boom!!!*

Tashigi was punched in her stomach, but Ren didn't use Haki, She was quickly thrown out of

the casino into the chaotic battlefield.

||||

Robin looked at this scene and swallowed.

This person was cruel...in a way... she loved this cruelty...

"Put on your mask," his voice interrupted her strange thoughts.

She nodded her head and did as he said, then held onto his waist.

He looked at the unconscious Crocodile, approached him, and took out a needle, then jabbed

Crocodile's body with it.

'What is he doing?' Robin wondered.

He looked at her, understood her thoughts, and then said, "You'll know soon enough,

Rhahaha."

*Boom!*

He kicked Crocodile's body out of the casino, then used Moonwalk and disappeared with

Robin holding onto his waist.

In the battlefield outside the casino, everyone stopped without exception and looked at

Crocodile, who had lost his arm and was unconscious.

"It's impossible..."

"Sir Crocodile!"

"He's been defeated!"

"How did this happen!"

"No way!"

Members of the Baroque Works screamed in fear and shock. Many of them began to throw

their weapons to the ground; they had surrendered.

*Boom!!*

*Bubble!*

"The casino...it's collapsing!"

One of them screamed, then people looked at the casino, which had collapsed, leaving

nothing but a pile of rubble and stones.

"Rhahahahaha! I'm here!"

They heard a loud voice in the sky, then looked in fear at Ren holding Robin.

"It's the Black Death Ren!"

"Sir Crocodile has been defeated!"

Voices of the people of Rainbase spread incredulously, Crocodile had still been a hero in their eyes after All.

Ren looked down at the battlefield from above, His expression turned cold when he looked at

Doberman, then he said coldly: "Now...it's the Marines' turn!"
