A moment ago, Ren's Observation Haki spotted a Marine ship with Smoker and Tashigi on board.
The range of Ren's Observation Haki wasn't that great as it was still low but he had no problem spotting the marine ship that was already close to them.
Since the sun was about to set and Nami and Kaya weren't on the deck of the ship, no one paid attention to the marine ship that was waiting for them.
But Ren's Haki did.
"Go call Nami and Kaya quickly." Ren got up from his chair with Nojiko and told her ,she nodded and quickly went inside the ship to tell Nami that a battle was about to happen.
This was the first time she saw Ren serious before going into battle, and it seemed that the enemy this time was strong.
After seeing Nojiko enter the door of the ship's room, Ren stretched his muscles and then quickly used Geppo and flew into the air.
*Bam Bam Bam!*
The sound of it ascending into the sky was heard, Ren looked directly at the marine warship.
On the other side, on the Marine ship.
"That face...it must be Ren wait...it looks like he use Rokushiki! How did he get it?!"Smoker clenched his fist excitedly as he blew out smoke from his cigarette.
Ren's appearance in the air surprised him, he was a trainee at the Marineford Headquarters and of course knew the Six Marine still.
Even he hasn't mastered them yet!
In addition, it is difficult to obtain a guide to practice these skills...and you must have a good master to guide you.
How did the six marines still fall into his hands?And who taught him it?
Many questions were running through Smoker's mind, but he couldn't find any answers to them.
As for Tashigi, she looked at Ren who was flying in surprise like the rest of the marines who were on deck.
But Tashigi's surprise quickly turned into anger, she was about to open her mouth and scream until Smoker's loud voice interrupted her:" bastard, I have finally found you! Do you know that you are wanted by justice? I advise you to surrender yourself and I'll mediate to reduce your sentence thanks to what you did to the people of Kokoyashi Village!"
Ren looked at Smoker coldly and didn't answer, The two ships approached each other, the girls walked out with serious expressions on their faces.
"Looks like we'll fight the marine this time." Nami said in a calm voice, her cursed sword hanging on her waist.
"Hmph! No matter who our enemies are, I'll snipe them if Ren tells me to." Nojiko added and checked her gun.
"..."
Kaya remained silent and nervous. For a rich and spoiled girl who lived by the law, she wasn't yet accustomed to this chaotic lifestyle.
"You even created a pirate crew for yourself...what exactly are you planning?" Smoker looked at Ren and said seriously.
After a short period of silence, Ren opened his mouth and replied:"What I do is none of your business Marines, If you want to arrest me you have to bear for it right?"
"Arrogant!"
Smoker shouted, he was surprised by the big words Ren said but not taking them seriously.
He was confident that when he fought Ren he would easily knock him to the ground and end his dreams before they even began!
"Arrogant!"
He was a Devil's Lugia fruit user after all!
In the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, users of Logia Fruits couldn't be defeated invincible!
This was Smoker's strongest belief and the source of his confidence.
"Hi Miss Tashigi." Ren didn't care about Smoker's screams and instead decided to pay attention to the beautiful girl wearing glasses and carrying a sword.
Tashigi stressed when she heard Ren say her name, but she quickly responded angrily "You tricked me! I didn't think you were a pirate and I helped you get your reward!"
"You didn't ask me if I was a pirate, so I didn't tell you, Miss Tashigi Doesn't that make sense?"
"This..."Tashigi didn't know what to say to refute Ren's words.
"Enough talking to these criminals Tashigi! Everyone arrest these evil pirates!" Smoker shouted.
Immediately after his words, Ren went down to the ground and reached the girls' place and said to them in a low voice: "Kaya, go back to the deck and be careful not to get hurt. Nami and Nojiko you must not kill the marines this time ,You can wound them and injure them but don't kill them, I have plans."
"Ok Captain!"
"As you want Captain!"
They answered with discipline, Kaya backing away from the battlefield as Ren told her.
Obviously, the battlefield will be the deck of the Marine ship.
Ren rushed to Smoker quickly, he used all his speed and reached Smoker in a few seconds which surprised the latter but he still remained calm.
He threw a punch towards Smoker's face, but his fist passed by Smoker's face, part of which dissipated into a white smoke and quickly reformed.
"See? This is the ability of my Logia Fruit, you will never be able to touch me haha-"
*Boom!*
Before he could finish his words, Ren threw another punch to Smoker's face, and this time the same scene didn't happen before!
Smoker was directly hit and retreated several meters from his place!
Tashigi and the soldiers who witnessed this were in awe and confusion!
*Bang!*
"Don't forget that I'm here!" Nojiko hits a soldier in his shoulder with a bullet as she uses her Geppo to fly into the air.
"This woman is flying!"
"It's like that person who punched Smoker-san!"
"Aim your bullets at her!"
*Bang Bang Bang!*
*Bang Bang Bang!*
*Bang Bang Bang!*
The marines fired a barrage of bullets at Nojiko who was in the air. Nojiko dodged with her Observation Haki and continued to snipe her attackers.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Nojiko didn't forget Ren's words and avoided the vital areas of the soldiers. It was hard but her sniping talent allowed her to do so.
But mistakes were always possible, Nojiko injured some soldiers in their vital areas.
While the bullet battle was going on Tashigi wasn't having a good time, the orange-haired duelist wasn't easy and Tashigi was often pushed back and had to retreat.
"What's the matter? Fight better!" Nami sneered at the girl with glasses as she slashed with her sword towards her chest but was quickly blocked.
Tashigi gritted her teeth and didn't comment on Nami's words, she continued to defend and exchange sword blows with Nami.
"It's the sword that the bastard stole!"
Tashigi looked at Nami's sword and said in surprise, based on the description of the swords that were stolen that day this should be Sendai Kitetsu!
She was fighting the using of Sendai Kitetsu!!
"Bastard?!" Nami screamed in anger. Her sword movements became stronger and more violent, Tashigi realized that she had provoked Nami when she cursed Ren, but remorse was of no use.
She discovered that the girl had been lenient with her before, but this time she seemed to be attacking with full force to kill her!
"Nami! Don't forget what Captain Ren told us!"
Nojiko noticed that Nami wasn't following the plan and scolded her.
"Do you want to Angre the captain?" Nojiko said and made Nami come back to her senses, but she continued to push tashigi's back and not give her any chance to counterattack.
"I'm sorry...I lost my temper for a while.." Nami apologized but Nojiko didn't hear her because she was shooting at her attackers.
Geppo had exhausted a lot of her stamina so she had gone down to the deck of the marine ship a while ago.
Back to Smoker.
He got up from the ground and dusted off his clothes, then stared at Ren in shock.
"That was....Haki!" He took a breath of cold air and fear began to spread in his heart.
Haki! The power that people mastered in the second line of the Grand Line: The New World!
A strange power can suppress Logia users and cause them to lose their fruit's elemental defense!
This makes Logia users lose their advantage when facing someone who has mastered Haki! That's why Smoker was serious and afraid of Ren now.
"Damn...! Don't think I'll lose that easily!"
"The White Fist!!"
Smoker turned into smoke then clenched his fist and headed towards Ren.
*Woosh!*
Ren avoided Smoker's quick punch but another punch quickly came, and so the punches continued from every direction.
The Punches were flying towards him thanks to the power of the Smoke Devil Fruit.
*Boom!*
Smoker threw a punch towards Ren's chest using all of his terrifying physical strength and was about to hit Ren's chest, but the latter quickly gathered his hands in a defensive position to receive the attack.
Ren took several steps back and still bearing the same cold expression on his face.
"Good punch."
Ren said sarcastically as he inspected his wrist which had a red mark on it, indicating the strength of Smoker's punch.
Ren couldn't deliver his Armament Haki to his wrist so he had to take damage directly.
"I'll give you more of these punches since you liked them!"
"I doubt That you can!"Ren responded and then in the next moment kicked the air with his feet.
"It's time for me to get serious! I hope you don't collapse so quickly, White Hunter, make it a good fight!"
"Rankyaku!" After Ren screamed, blue blades shot out as he kicked the air towards the shocked Smoker.
*Soooooosh!*
*Soooooosh!*
*Soooooosh!*
*Soooooosh!*
"Shit even he knows this skil! But this won't change anything as long as he can't combine Haki with Rankyaku, I doubt he can do that!"
Smoker's guess was correct, Ren hasn't reached that level of Haki's control yet.
But the purpose of the sharp blades he sent wasn't to cut Smoker, but merely as a distraction!
Rankyaku's blades cut into Smoker's body but didn't hurt him,His body quickly turned into smoke and formed again.
"Soru!"
Smoker widened his eyes as he saw Ren disappear in front of him in the blink of an eye and quickly thought:
'This...! It's Soru! This bastard has mastered three of the Six Powers, or may more! I have to make sure that i'llcatch him today-"
"Boom!!*
Smoker was punched by Ren's Haki-coated fist and fell backwards to be thrown onto the battlefield.
Ren wasn't finished here, he used Soru again to throw another punch at him.
But Smoker is still Smoker, he turned into smoke so he evading Ren's punch and at the same time launching a counterattack.
"White Snake!!!"
"Rankyaku!!"
Smoker's fist collided with Ren's blades and the fist dispersed into smoke as Rankyaku's power decreased and it hit the deck of the marine ship causing a small damage to it.
The battle between the two continued, Smoker was at a disadvantage, he was always getting punched and getting up again to launch a counterattack with his Fist.
"Boom!!"
Smoker's fist hit Ren's wrist again and he clearly started to feel pain and some drops of sweat could be seen falling from Ren's forehead.
"You have good stamina White Hunter." Ren said and looked at Smoker who was panting roughly.
"Are you kidding me? If I have good stamina so i should call you a monster! How have you not been tired!?"
Smoker shouted angrily, in fact he felt like Ren was using him as a punching bag for training because he didn't target any vital points when he hit him!
Smoker wasn't stupid, he could see that none of his subordinates were dead, some were in critical condition but there were no deaths,This made him curious about Ren's purpose in all of this.
In fact, Ren will reap many benefits from fighting against Smoker, the first of which is physical strength, and his mastery of Armament Haki will increase after experiencing physical combat against someone close to his physical strength.
As for why he ordered Nami and Nojiko to not kill anyone, this was for one clear reason which is-----Tashigi.
"Enough talking let's get this over quickly." Ren said and then used Soru again to start another round of punches.
On the other side, Tashigi was lying on the ground and Nami was in front of her.
Nami put her sword in front of Tashigi's neck and said:"You have lost! Don't move or I'll kill you! If it weren't for the captain's orders, I would have done this a long time ago!"
Apparently Nami was still angry because the girl called Ren a bastard.
"Damn...I'm weak!" Tashigi gritted her teeth and looked at Nami then said:"W-why Ren told you to not kill me?"
Tashigi noticed that there were no deaths among the marines, she wasn't stupid to believe that this was a coincidence and after hearing Nami's words regarding the captain's request to not kill her she was certain that it was Ren's orders.
"Who knows? ask him later!" Nami answered coldly.
"Ren will be defeated so I didn't have a chance to do this."Tashigi said and there seemed to be some sadness in her tone.
"Losing? You naive girl looks at the state of that one called Smoker."
Nami laughed at her and pointed to a specific place.
"This...Smoker-san!!"Tashigi looked at Smoker who was desperately defending against Ren's punches.
Ren didn't target any vital points for fear of killing his punching bag.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
Punch after punch Smoker's suffering and pain increased, Ren felt that he could control his Armament Haki and decided to test how much he improved.
He stopped punching Smoker and backed away a little. Smoker saw that Ren backed down and thought he was tired, so he gathered his strength and desperately threw his fist towards Ren's face.
"White Fist!!"
*Boom!*
Ren blocked his punch with his wrist as usual, but this time Ren didn't feel any pain because he surrounded his wrist with Armament Haki and this was something he couldn't do at the beginning of the battle!
Smoker widened his eyes in shock when he felt pain in his fist. One thing that makes a Logia user feel pain is Haki and the Sea Stone. It is clear that Ren used Haki, This means that this bastard is getting better during the Battle!
"How dare you using me like a punching bag!" Smoker shouted and drew his sword made of sea stone.
"Take this!"
At the same time, Ren took out his sword from the infinity space and unsheathed it!
*squeak!!*
The battle of fists turned into a duel in the blink of an eye.
Smoker was on the verge of collapse and clearly couldn't continue any longer. Ren pushed him back while swinging his sword.
'Damn...I'm losing!' Smoker knew the outcome of this battle and what made him more desperate was seeing his defeated soldiers staring at him with a look of hope.
'Everyone...Tashigi...no I won't lose!'
"I am the white hunter who has never lost against the vile pirates!"
Smoker screamed and got rid of his sword, Ren did the same and returned his sword to infinity space.
"Smoke Fist!!"
Smoker launched their strongest and final attack against Ren.
The scope of the attack wasn't large and was focused on Ren.
*Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom!!
The smoke hit the place where Ren was stepping and swept it away with it, Smoker smiled upon seeing this scene ,Tashigi and the injured soldiers too.
Nami and Nojiko remained expressionless and looked at the battlefield covered in smoke resulting from the attack.
Kaya looked at this scene and clasped her hands, praying that Ren would be safe.
"Aaagh!!"
Smoker's joy didn't last long, he fell to the ground and all that could be heard was the sound of his screams.
Viewers couldn't see what happened cause of the smoke, which quickly dispersed to reveal a shocking scene.
Ren was standing over Smoker's body with his hands behind his back and didn't appear to be injured.
'Luckily I have Soru and Geppo or that could have been a bit dangerous...'
Ren sighed mentally.
Before the attack reaches him he uses Soru to avoid it, then take advantage of the smoke that covers the battlefield and he uses Geppo to ascend to the sky and land on Smoker's back with a strong kick.
"I lost in the end..."Smoker said sadly as blood came out of his mouth.
"no..."
"This can't be real!"
"Smoker-san has lost!"
Confusion arose in the injured soldiers as they watched what was happening with shock evident on their faces.
"Hmph! To think that you can catch Captain Ren...that can happen only in your dreams!" Nami said proudly as she looked at Ren who looked so adorable stepping on Smoker.
"Nothing unexpected~as expected from Captain Ren" Nojiko said.
"Hooof! Thank God the captain is fine." Kaya pressed her chest as she saw what was happening from afar.
She was far from the battlefield and watching from the pirate ship.
"No way…"Tashigi looked at this scene in disbelief.
Ren ignored the system notifications that kept ringing in his mind and said:"This is your lost White Hunter."
Marine officer Smoker, nicknamed "The White hunter" met the most dangerous pirate in East Bleu and engaged in a fierce battle with him that ended with the defeat of the White Hunter and all the marines who were with him, This news will spread in East Bleu like wildfire, causing more chaos and turmoil in this sea.
GIVE US SOME PSOWER STONE
"Cough!what's your plan?!" Smoker was still on the ground as Ren stomped on him.
"You'll know soon."
After Ren finished speaking, he took his foot off Smoker's back, covered it with Haki, and then stomped on him again!
*Baaam!*
"Aaagh!"
"Smoker-san!" Tashigi screamed and looked at Smoker who coughed up another mouthful of blood.
Tashigi didn't know what to do in this situation, she couldn't think of any effective solution to get out of this danger.
She was still a young girl after all, her physical and mental strength had long been exhausted, and thinking too much about her justice and Ren's words, and the Kokoyashi incident that was caused by the corruption of the marines had exhausted her mind.
She closed her eyes as she listened to Smoker's screams , he was being trampled and kicked while coughing up blood every time, The pain in her heart wasn't small.
But the strange thing is that she didn't hate Ren even after all this....
She clearly knew that he was a pirate and criminal but...
Tashigi thought about what would have happened if Ren hadn't beat Arlong.
Of course, the people of kokoyachi village will suffer for a much longer period..perhaps forever!
While Tashigi was immersed in her own thoughts about justice and values and such nonsense, Ren stopped hitting Smoker and said:
"This is to make sure you don't do anything stupid, I don't have sea stone handcuffs."
"Cough... cough...Hmph! Whatever you are planning, my soldiers and I will not obey you, no matter how much you torture me or threaten me!" Smoker's stance remains firm and the determination in his eyes seems to have become stronger.
"Aaaaaah!" Ren grabbed him and lifted him into the air with one hand. Smoker's body was covered in blood in a bloody scene, Ren didn't need to activate his Armament Haki because Smoker was no longer able to even move, let alone use his devil fruit ability.
As Smoker was lifted up with one hand by his neck, Ren opened his mouth and said:"You'll do what I ask of you without any tricks or...If you refuse I will kill a Marine every 10 minutes."
"!!!"
"What?!"
"Evil pirate!"
"Damn you!"
.
..
...
The Marines screamed in anger upon hearing Ren's statement but...
*Bang!*
"Shut up you sons of bitches! Don't bother Captain Ren." Nojiko shot into the sky and screamed coldly.
*swallow*
"The injured Marines swallowed their words and were forced to keep their complaints and grievances to themselves.
They were very afraid of Nojiko because this time, the blue-haired woman was the one who pierced their bodies with her bullets and brought them to this situation!
Tashigi didn't have much of a reaction to Ren's words cause she was busy in her own thoughts.
Kaya, although she found it cruel to execute a marine every 10 minutes, didn't oppose Ren's will , And for Nami she was observing everything coldly while keeping an eye on Tashigi.
"Bastard! Don't even think about touching the Marines or you will be chased to the end of the world-"
*Slap!*
"Noisy! It's been 4 minutes, it's up to you."
Ren said simply then threw Smoker into the corner of the ship and pulled out a gun from the infinity space.
'Is this a Devil Fruit ability?!' Smoker looked at this scene where a weapon appeared out of nowhere and remembered the sword that Ren had pulled out with the same trick.
"So you're using a Devil Fruit ability...I see." He said in a low voice.
"Even in this state you still want to get information to report to your master Sengoku.. You are like a diligent dog"Ren laughed.
"You bast-!!"
"It's been 7 minutes."
Smoker sighed and began to think calmly after calming down, in the first place the situation isn't bad to the point of no return.
Ren didn't kill him directly, which indicates that he needs him and will not kill him now, which means that he and his subordinates are safe for now.
But if he refused Ren's request, he was sure that this Crazy would do what he promised and execute a soldier every 10 minutes.
Smoker was good at judging people and knew that Ren was someone who was accustomed to seeing corpses and blood and was accustomed to taking lives without any remorse!
He was a typical pirate.
"10 minutes have passed"
Ren pointed his gun at a random soldier and was about to shoot, but Smoker's voice interrupted him: "I'll do what you want! I will do...so please don't kill them."
"Smoker-san..."
"Don't care about our lives Smoker-san, and don't do what the evil pirate wants!"
"Yes yes he is right!"
*Bang!*
It was Ren who fired a warning shot this time to silence the screaming crowd.
He put the gun in his pocket and walked towards Smoker who was covered in blood and lying in the corner.
"You look like a dog in this state... haha."
Smoker tried to restrain his anger and swallowed Ren's insults bitterly.
"Tell me what you want...cough! And end this!" Smoker said as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Ren didn't care about Smoker's condition and said"Nami~ Bring Miss Tashigi here!"
Nami Didn't ask why and quickly brought the frightened and astonished Tashigi in front of Ren and Smoker.
"Wait! What do you want from Tashigi?!"
*Slap!*
"shut up!"Ren slapped Smoker and looked at him coldly
'Oh...!!!' Smoker could only watch as Ren insulted him.
Nami arrived with Tashigi, who had the sword in front of her throat,She looked at Ren with worry and stress waiting for what he would say.
"Did you think carefully about my words Miss Tashigi?"Ren said.
Tashigi was silent and lowered her head, she didn't dare to look at Ren or Smoker,Smoker knew that Tashigi's mental state and her beliefs about justice was due to Ren, but he didn't know what he said to her.
He wanted to speak out and bring justice to Tashigi's heart, but before he did that...
*Slap!*
He was slapped again.
"Don't blame me if you become toothless, Smoker." Ren threatened.
"Where is thet rue justice?" Tashigi asked with tears in her eyes.
The question was Naturally to Ren , Ren wasn't surprised by this question and had an answer that would convince the girl.
He put his hands behind his back and said :"There is no true justice in this world missTashigi."
BeforeTashigi could react, he quickly added:"Justice can only exist relatively, and this justice also changes in accordance with those in power."
He said this and pointed his finger to the sky.
"Who are the leaders of this world Tashigi?"
It was Ren's turn to ask this time.
Tashigi didn't take a long time to answer this question and said:"Of course they are the Celestial Dragons."
"Correct , now let's assume that a Celestial dragon killed innocent people and enslaved them for no reason under the pretext that he was the grandson of the gods of this world, and all of this happened under the watchful eye of the marines or "the law"Then where is the justice here?
Tashigi widened her eyes in realization, of course she had thought about this before but she tried not to delve into the affairs of the 'gods'.
But Ren opened the doors to the reality of world for her.
'That man..! He's talking about very dangerous things!' Smoker's heart skipped a beat at Ren's words.
Ren continued his words as he approached Tashigi who had fallen to the ground. He raised her chin with his hand and said: "This is why there is no true justice in this world, MissTashigi As long as the laws are not applied equally to everyone, can it be said that this world has a true justice?"
"Justice is power, Whoever has power will impose his justice and laws on others, while he himself will not abide by those laws and justice will not be applied to him if he breaks laws! Because he is basically above these laws!"
"A concept as fragile like justice has become a thing of the past, and those who believe in it are pitiful idiots..."
"The marines are just a guard dog of the World Government and this is a fact that will not change.."
"High-ranking members of the World Government can rape female Marines when Sengoku and the rest of the old men watching but they will not do anything! What are you if you aren't a dog? Hahaha."
With every word and sentence that Ren says, Tashigi's eyes widen and the rest of them, like Nami and Nojiko and Smoker.
Tashigi felt that Ren's words were logical and no matter how hard she tried to find something to refute him she couldn't, while Nami and Nojiko suddenly felt that their lover was very wise and intelligent... Ah...they really wanted to eat him.
Coughing, turning back to Smoker, this time he looked fearfully at Ren.
This was a pirate...or rather he shouldn't be called a pirate because he had pure revolutionary thought! For a moment he thought That Ren was one of the Revolutionary's Army leaders!
The Revolutionary army! The first enemies of the World Government, the organization created by the most dangerous man in the world.
Unfortunately Smoker was thinking too much, Ren had no contact with the Revolutionary Army currently.
"So what should i do?"Tashigi said sadly.
After talking with Ren, she found the answer she wanted, but she was still confused about what she should do.
Her weak faith in the justice of marines has collapsed, but she is now part of this"marine" organization and cannot escape easily.
But Ren was there to ask for advice.
"Tashigi! Don't listen to what this pirate says! Don't forget that you are a marine! your duty is to protect the world and spread justice!"Smoker screamed with all his might because he felt something bad coming.
Tashigi looked at Smoker unusually calmly. She stared at him for a while and then said:"Justice... No, the justice I want doesn't exist in the Navy Smoker-san."
"Tashigi! Come back to your senses! This person is tricking you!" Smoker shouted.
"He's not tricking me! What he's saying is true; If a Heavenly Dragon wanted to rape me or kill me or even kill you, would anyone speak up?! Would anyone reject?! This is just a simple example! There is worse. How many people in this world have suffered from this injustice under the eyes of Marines?" Celestial Dragons takes thousands of slaves every year and most of them are killed...but we Marines are still silent! It's like Ren said...we are like dogs!!"
Tashigi shouted for the first time in her life at Smoker, whom she respected so much but This respect disappeared as her personality began to change and she discovered the truth of this world, or I should say that she accepted reality and no longer ignored the questions that had come to her mind for sometimes.
Smoker was silent and didn't know how to refute Tashigi's words because...it was true!
*Tap* *Tap*
"You've finally started to accept the reality of this hypocritical world tashigi...Well done~"Ren looked at her , he knew that the next step of his plan had come.
"Nojiko, bring me one of these soldiers." Ren looked at his blue-haired lover and said.
"Ok Captain~"
Nojiko quickly came across a marine with a bullet wound to his shoulder and handed him over to Ren.
Ren took out his gun from his pocket and pointed it at the nervous soldier's head ,Then he looked at Smoker and said:"Call Sengoku and tell him what I have to tell you or I'll execute this soldier."
"!!!"
"Evil!" Smoker gritted his teeth, but he couldn't refuse so he said:"There is a special Den Den Mushi inside the ship If you bring it to me I'll do as you say."
"Nami, please." Ren said, and Nami understood what he meant. She quickly entered the ship's room then came out with a medium-sized green Den Den Mushi in her hand.
"You will tell him the following story...Believe me if you try any tricks I'll kill everyone here after torturing them...You don't want anything to happen to your subordinates right?"
"I'll do whatever you want but promise me you won't kill anyone!" Smoker said gravely.
"I promise you."
After getting a promise from Ren and the story he had to tell, Smoker entered the private number and called.
*Berry* *Berry*
*Berry* *Berry*
*Berry* *Berry*
*GA-TCHA~*
"This is Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
"Fleet Admiral this is Smoker , i'll skip the formal greetings due to the emergency situation I am in, I would like to report that I am currently in the midst of a brutal battle with the rookie pirate Ren!"
Sengoku, sitting in his office, became furious after hearing Smoker's tone and seeing the injured form the Den Den Mushi snail had turned into!
How did Smoker get so injured while using Logia?
Sengoku's thoughts raced as Tsuru became interested in what was going on, Smoker's voice soon came again to satisfy their curiosity.
"Sir! I have important information to report! The pirate Ren is a user of Armament Haki and this has negated my Logia advantage! I am about to be defeated and my crew will be annihilated along with me! My current location is a small island near Log Town...I was able to rescue my deputyTashigi And keep her away from the clutches of this pirate- Aaagh!!"
"What's wrong Smoker?! Are you okay?!" Sengoku shouted anxiously, and it seemed that Smoker was hurt as he spoke.
"I don't have long to live sir! I just wanted to report that the bounty on Ren's head is too low for his fighting strength! I've thrown myself into hell."
"AAAh-"
*Ga-tcha~*
"SMOKER!!!"
•••
"That was good?" Smoker asked looking at Ren.
He did what he asked without any questions but he had a lot of questions on his mind.
Why did Ren willingly reveal that he had Armament Haki? Wouldn't he like to keep him as a winning card to surprise the marine?
What does the part of Tashigi where he had to say that she ran away mean?
Unfortunately, Smoker will never know the answers to these questions.
"Yes that was good...even better than I expected.You have an excellent acting talent ."
*Bang!*
The Marine that Ren was using as a threat was shot in the head, he exhaled smoke that rose from the gun's barrel and said.
"Unfortunately, acting won't save your life~"
"Bastard!! As expected from vile pirates!! You cannot be trusted!" Smoker screamed angrily and tried to move his body and resist, but he couldn't.
"Calm down calm down, hahaha you will see a fun show in a moment."
"W-what?" Smoker had a very bad feeling after hearing Ren's words.
Ren didn't answer him and went to Tashigi, who looked at all this with a look of determination and said"Do you want to be my spy?"
"Become your spy? Me?"
"who else? A beautiful and talented girl like you deserves praise. Instead of dying with the sea dogs here, wouldn't it be better for you to live and pursue your own justice?"
Ren's words were like a demonic whisper, his words temptedTashigi deeply but she still asked:"Aren't you going to betray me?"
"Of course not, as long as you are loyal, I'll not do this I promise you."
"Okay, I'll do that! But as for Smoker-san and the rest…"
Before Tashigi could finish her words, she saw Ren close his eyes and move his head.
"I see..."
"Then they are destined to die after all"Tashigi said.
"But in order to join me, you have to do what I'm going to tell you now." Ren said suddenly.
"Tashigi! Are you crazy?! Are you announcing your defection from the marine? What nonsense! Stop That bullshit Tashigi!"Smoker's bad feeling became stronger and he tried to convince Tashigi.
"What should I do?"Tashigi ignored Smoker's shouting and said to Ren.
"Pick up your sword and...kill Smoker!"
"!!!"
Tashigi widened her eyes, Smoker did the same as Nami, Nojiko, Kaya and everyone else who heard what Ren said was shocked.
"..."
"Hahahahahaha"
After a strange moment of calm and silence, Smoker started laughing maniacally and coughed up blood as a result.
"Are you crazy, you bastard pirate? Tashigi will kill me? Bullshit!" Smoker sneered at Ren and looked at him with disdain.
He was going to die anyway so he was no longer afraid of Ren ,All his hopes of surviving through negotiations were gone after he found out that Ren wanted to turn Tashigi into a spy, so he obviously wouldn't let anyone other than her live.
"We'll see what happens...don't be in a hurry "Ren said calmly.
Tashigi who had all eyes on her was unusually calm. She had already decided what she would do and charted her path.
After her beliefs about the false justice of marine were destroyed, a other and stronger beliefs arose! It is the belief that justice is power! That's why in order to achieve her justice, she must become strong! She was completely impressed by Ren's thought.
She grabbed her drawn sword and rose from the ground with coldness in her eyes under the shocked gazes of the Marines and Smoker.
*Dripping* *Dripping*
*Dripping* *Dripping*
*Dripping* *Dripping*
The sky was starting to rain heavily, the sun had set a long time ago and the lights of the two ships were the only source of illumination.
A storm began to brew slowly as the rain increased in intensity.
*clack!* *clack!*
*clack!* *clack!*
Thunder roared and cows roared in the air, coinciding with the rain that fell on Tashigi's face and wet her eyes, making it difficult for people to know whether they were tears or rainwater.
"Don't do that Tashigi..."Smoker tried to speak, but this time he didn't scream like he had done before.
*clack!*
*clack!*
The angry sound of thunder swallowed up Smoker's frightened and sad voice as if it didn't exist.
"Do it... destroy your chains Tashigi!"Ren said.
Tashigi gripped the sword hilt so hard that blood leaked from her hand, but she raised her sword to the sky simultaneously with a lightning strike, making it appear as if she had summoned it.
The Marines were crying sadly while Smoker stared at Tashigi with a look of disbelief, Nami held her breath as if she was watching a great show.
Nojiko was cold as usual.
Kaya was fighting to hold back the tears from spilling out.
As for Ren... he was smiling when he saw Tashigi getting close to killing Smoker.
"No...don't do that Tashigi-san!"
A soldier screamed freely and resisted the pain of the bullets, then ran towards Tashigi to stop her.
*Bang!*
Nojiko sniped him with one shot and knocked him down.
Tashigi didn't care about the dead soldier because her hands were currently shaking as she looked at Smoker.
"Haaaaaaaaa!!!"
With a determined scream, she stabbed her sword into Smoker's heart! The sword pierced Smoker's chest and reached his heart, and pierced him. Soon Smoker's body stopped breathing.
Smoker is dead...
But this is not the problem.
His killer is the problem, Tashigi killed him.
If this news spreads to Log Town Marine Branch, the Marines there will laugh and consider it a joke.
but this is the truth.
Ren looked at this with satisfaction, then motioned with his hand for Nojiko and Nami to clean up the rest of the soldiers.
"Make sure there are no witnesses left to what happened!"
"Ok Captain!"X2
Nami drew her sword and started cutting up all the weak and defenseless soldiers.
They were physically and mentally destroyed, they didn't resist and were quickly finished off by Nojiko's bullets and Nami's sword.
Returning to Tashigi, she didn't care about the massacre that had occurred a while ago and looked at Smoker's body and then at her hand.
*clack!*
"I did it..." Tears started to fall from her eyes but the rain covered them up.
Of course Ren knew she was crying.
He arrived in front of her and remained silent, watching the rain fall on her beautiful face which was crying silently and he said: "Do you hate me?"
"No."
She answered without thinking or hesitating.
"why not?"
"Because you helped me accept a reality that I didn't want to accept."
"Just for this?" Ren asked again.
"This..."In contrast to the sad atmosphere before, Tashigi blushed slightly.
Ren was shocked that she could feel so shy in such a situation.
"Enough drama you have to enter the ship if you don't want to be sick."
"As you command Captain" Tashigi replied.
"Isn't that too fast?"
"..."
"Good job Nami and Nojiko, today's battle ended in victory and we also added a new crew member!"
"Great!"
"Long live Captain Ren!"
