8 Victory

．．．．．．．

"the name's Rei...."

'Baaaam!'

'Splash!'

Smog Body flew out of the ship towards the sea below, out of his respect toward Smog who gave Rei valuable 'lesson' in combat, Rei chose to spare his life, as how he could get out from the sea, it was all for the fate to decide.

Rei turns his attention toward the rest of the pirates left, the pirates were scared as they saw how Smog was defeated and how the man in front of them could chopped down the ships huge main mast in one strike!

Rei sneered as he cleaned his Chōkuto using his sleeve,

"so..~ who's next?"

the pirates panicked as they saw Rei slowly moved closer. some of them began to prostrate and beg for mercy as the other jumped out of the ship towards the sea!

"sigh*, only one left i guess." he said as he jumps toward the upper deck.

Rei saw captain cabin were closed. as he walk closer there was system notification coming.

「Ding! congratulations for defeating the enemies, you gained 78 gacha points.」

Rei smiled slightly as he ignored the System, just as he was right in front of the captain cabins door, Rei felt a slight tingling sensation out of his danger perception!

'Booooom!'

the door blasted open with force! Rei raised his hand to protect his body for whats coming from inside, Rei's eyes were wide aghast as he saw a huge black iron ball with the size of a gym ball coming from the destroyed door and struck his whole body!

"guuuuuh!" Rei gritted his teeth as he felt like being hit by a truck!

'Booom! Craaaashh! Crack!'

the iron ball dragged Rei towards the ship's bow and destroying everything on its way, thankfully Rei manage to thrust his sword below towards the wooden floor deck, if not he would undoubtedly fell into water!

'Clank! Jingliiing!'

the chained iron ball was being dragged back towards the captain cabin, Rei wiped the blood out of his lips and he felt his body was like a mess.

Boss could be seen swinging around the iron ball close to his body, he walked step by step descending the stairs towards the deck.

Rei stood up with difficulty as he saw straight ahead at the boss. the tattooed man seems nonchalant as he swung around the heavy iron ball as if it was nothing.

but Rei didn't waver, he took a deep breath to adjust his condition,

"i still can't perceive the unseen danger? bad luck..." he thought.

"yooo....~ you defeated my firstmate? how impressive...." there was a mocking remarks from the boss mouth.

"and now, the 'Boss' has come..." Rei mumbled while getting ready for his next action,

"interesting, what kind of creature are you? I've never seen something like you before." Boss grinned as he moved closer.

yet Rei answered him with another question,

"hey fatty, before we start, can i ask you a question?"

'Wham!'

"what?"

Boss put down his iron ball on deck right besides him, making the whole ship trembled, he stoped not so far away from Rei, both of them now on stand off.

Rei asked with serious tone,

"is your name really 'Boss' ?"

tilting his head, Boss answered in confusion.

"i am, why?"

Rei was quite in disbelief, "reaaally~?"

"well, you maybe don't know who i am, but here in East Blue i am one and only 'BOSSMAN ROYALE' !!!" said Boss once again with his chest puffed out with pride

hearing such a thing, Rei couldn't help but bursting his saliva while holding his laughter.

"pffffft, realy? bossman! one and only, oh my! there was 'superman', 'batman' and now 'Bossman' ?!!! hahahha, i can't....pfffft,".

"did you just mocking me?" vein bulged on Boss forehead as he heard mocking tone from Rei.

"cough* no, hahaha, no of course not, don't tell me you have brother called 'lackeyman' ?"

Boss, "stop laughing! my brother name is not 'lackeyman'!!!"

Rei white face was now turned red as he tried to hold his laughter,

"cough* huhuhuhu, cough*, so you do have brother?"

Boss, "hmmp! don't be surprised! you will tremble hearing his name!"

Rei, "cough*, uhk,....okay?"

Boss, "my brother name is 'Hencheman Royale'!!!"

"BAHAHHHAHA, COUGH* HAHAHHAAHA!"

now Rei couldn't hold back his laughter at all, as he kneeled and punch the wooden floor repeatedly hearing Boss answer. some of the pirates even seen trying their best to hold back their laughter!

Boss face now turned red like cooked shrimp, as he felt insulted with how Rei's react, he just told him his own brother name, there was no need for such exaggerated laugh right?

Boss really couldn't held back his anger as he swing up his iron Ball straight towards Rei!

'Swish!'

'Booooom!'

the iron ball embedded on Rei's spot with loud sound as deck wooden floor got destroyed! fortunately, Rei was able to dodge it despite his earlier banter.

Rei moved towards Boss rightside as he took the opportunity of seemingly defenseless Boss, unfortunately, Boss saw Rei was coming, so he tugged back the chained iron ball with great precision towards his rightside!

Rei stopped right on his track just when the iron ball passing through right in front of him!

'Wooooosh! BOOOMM!'

Rei continuing his charge forwards as he swing the Chōkuto towards Boss whom now holding the chain with both of his hand!

'Sriiiing!'

Rei sword gently landed on the chain making it bend with V-like shape, unsurprisingly the sword failed to cut through the chain due its flexibility to dampen the sword momentum!

with great precision Boss wrapped the chain around Rei's Chōkuto, then he spun his body to the left pulling Rei around!

'Baaaaam!'

Boss slamed Rei downwards with great force! then with quick precision, this time he wrapped Rei's body around with the chain butt end as he tugged the other end which attached to the iron ball back! now being tied Rei didn't panic as he saw Boss retrieve the iron ball and swing it around making a 'wooshing' sound.

"Dieee nooow!" Boss shouted as the iron ball fell towards Rei!

"Nawanuke no jutsu!"

"BOOOOM!"

the iron ball struck at Rei's spot destroying the wooden floor and the deck bellow, the whole ship trembled violently as the pirates looking for something to hold.

earlier Rei was using 'Nawanuke no Jutsu', it made his bond loose, and it was easy for him to use kawarimi no jutsu next, swapping his position with piece of wood just right behind Boss.

before Boss could rejoice, he felt danger coming from his back!

'SLAAASH!'

it was too late, Rei manage to slashed Boss's back diagonaly upwards!

'Splaaaash!'

"GYAAAAAAAH!"

fresh blood sprayed out from Boss wound, as he screamed he didn't forget to give Rei his spinning elbow! however Rei dodge it by stepping backwards.

tilting his head, Rei put his sword on the shoulder.

"i think, your firstmate was stronger than you?" he said lightly.

it was true, Smog has faster reaction and better at countering Rei's assault. Boss? other than his great strength he was nothing.

"SHUT UP!" Boss reached his waist to take the pistol.

'BANG! BANG! BANG!'

how could the pistol better? as of now, Rei could even see the bullet trajectory! so he avoided it with ease. in between, Boss manage to retrieve his weapon back, but Rei had already swung his sword towards him!

Boss smirked while witholding his pain seeing Rei charge towards him, thinking he could do the same as before, he held the chain with both of his hands once again. however he failed to see a mysterious glow on Rei's sword!

'Clank!'

'Slaaash!'

as the chain bend to v-shape, it snapped! unfortunately for Boss, this time Rei managed to chop the chain off! Boss expression was funny to look at, why?

"how?" Boss asked with horror as he saw Rei getting ready with his stance.

Rei dashed while slashing through the confused Boss, in an instant he was already behind the Boss back witholding his slashing pose.

"ah, earlier i forgot to use chakra once again..." Rei scratched his head with blank expression, as he explained.

"cha...kra?"

Boss huge body fell down with loud sound, blood splurted out from his body. seeing their captain defeat, the rest of the pirates surrendered unconditionally, yet before Rei decided what he would do to the pirates there were loud voices coming from the starboard side of the ship!

"KILLLLL!"

"RELEASE THEM YOU PIRATES!!!"

"GO BROTHERS! LET'S KILL THE PIRATES TOGETHER!"

"WOOOOOO!"

Rei and the pirates were stunned as they saw new intruders, turns out after Rei's left, the townfolks were indignant with the pirates, and they actualy manage to gather their courage together, so they decided to have they own ways to take revenge!

when they saw Rei and the pirates, they lifted up the weapons they brought. Rei was bemused as he saw the townfolks bringing out any 'weapon' they could find, hoe, fork, spade, anything.

Rei didn't know whether to laugh or cry seeing such situation, as he wants to stop the townfolks, suddenly there was a young boy running from behind their group!

"Stop! Stoooooop! all of you!" yelled the boy while speading his arm wide against the angry townfolks.

Rei was familiar with the boy, he was the one who gave Rei the Boss wanted poster back in town.

the boy turned towards Rei as he succeeded stopping his fellow townfolks,

"Mr, Rei?" soon after the boy mentioned Rei, the others finally realized who was the one stood at the front. white skin, silver eyes, and two protruding horns of his were too peculiar to ignore.

Rei smiled and said, "nice to see you boy, what are you doing here?"

the boy told him about how they wanted to take the matters into their own hand, listening to his explanation Rei couldn't help but chuckled.

"everything is done, dont worry." patting the boy's head he showed the townfolks about surrendered pirates and the defeated Boss.

everyone was jubilant! they raise their hand high while chanting victory! Rei began to ask the townfolks to tied the pirates up and as for Boss, he said just leave him be, Boss body was maybe around 300kg in weight, there was no way the townfolks could carry him and Rei was too lazy to do it.

~~~~~

2 days later at Happy Town.

the people in the town were seen smiling nowadays, Rei had succesfully saved the woman and children from the Boss pirates group, and made them returned to their loved ones.

the townfolks could be seen reparing their house and chattering about, and Rei?

"brother! brother! where do you come from?"

"brother Rei, can i touch your horn?"

"brother, i heard you defeated the whole pirates by yourself! how many are they? i heard they have 200 men is it true?"

children question and the way they looked at Rei made him helpless, he felt like some kind of animal in zoo as the children touched all over his body, especially the two horns on his head. it can't be helped, the horns feels so smooth to the touch! after one children managed to touch it the others followed with great curiousity.

currenty Rei was unable to move in the towns square looking after the childrens as the adult has their own business.

　as for his chōkuto, Rei noticed he could put the ninja related item into his inventory, as he doesn't want to scare anyone he put his chōkuto inside by simply willed it.

one of the little girl asked with gleam on her eyes and she asked, "brother Rei, you haven't answered my question, where do you come from?"

before answering Rei thought if he was an Ōtsutsuki right now, didn't it mean he came from the outer space?

without any remorse he answered, "i came from there..."

the children were exploded with excitement as they saw Rei pointing toward the sky,

"realy? realy?"

"it must be true then! after all brother Rei was so much different than us!" exclaimed one of the boy as he imitated the horns with his hand. the other followed his example and laughing with glee.

Rei could only smile helplessly as he shook his head. not too long, Rei with his enhanced hearing, heard the commotion took place at the dock, he ask the children to return to their home immediately as he walked toward the towns dock.

when he was closer to the pier, Rei squinted his eyes as he saw several men in uniform bringing guns on their shoulder arguing with townsfolk.

Rei walk closer and mumbled in displeasure, "marines huh?"
