Crocodile

Hearing Rey's words, Trik boiled in rage but what made him lose his composure is Rey's expression which resembled that of a child looking at an interesting toy.

This is the first time in his life, someone humiliated him like this.

'Whirlwind Slash!'

Trik slashed at Rey with his full power which generated a huge windstorm streaking towards Rey.

Unlike before, the attack was directed at a wide range leaving no room for Rey to escape. Rey also had no intention of backing away from the fight so he faced it head with his staff.

He spun his staff at high speed, which in turn created the wind around him to spin and made the surrounding dust flung away.

In Rey's hand, the staff looked like a wheel in motion. Even though the attack is powerful, Rey blocked the attacks using his fast spinning staff.

The building at his back was ripped into separate pieces and the civilians who are watching the fight fled for their life.

Thankfully, Rey's staff is made by high-quality material, otherwise, it would have easily cut into various pieces by Trik's attack.

On the other side, Mia was also able to contend against the Jett with her Rokushiki skills while other marine soldiers fought with remaining silver gale pirates.

Rey was disappointed by his opponent's strength. Apart from his devil fruit powers, he is not even as physically strong as some Elite marine soldiers.

Rey just has to arrive near Trik to finish him off but the whirlwinds are a little dangerous as they are able to easily cleave the large buildings in pieces.

Trik was frustrated seeing his attacks deal almost no harm to his opponent; The devil fruit he is so proud of proved useless before powerful opponents.

"My devil fruit powers are superior, how could it fail me?" Trik had a crazed look on his face and madly attacked Rey.

Even though attacks are useless before Rey, it was damaging the town and its civilians. So, Rey decided to end the battle before it harms innocent peoples.

Rey charged at Trik with his staff in hand trying to block the slash attacks but due to him in close range, Rey was cut in several parts of his body.

He used 'Soru' and appeared before Trik and punched him in the face with his full strength. Trik flew some distance, crashed at the building back of him.

Even before he could stand up, a torrent of punches landed all of his body making him paralyzed in the ground.

After 10 seconds, he collapsed under Rey's attack and lost his consciousness while his face looked that of Pig, covered in blood.

Rey didn't show any mercy when he attacked since he saw the reports of Silver Gale Trik who killed many innocent civilians.

If it wasn't because of his thinking of killing him is too easy for Trik's sins, Rey would have killed him directly.

"He's a devil fruit user, cuff him with seastone handcuffs," Rey instructed the marine soldiers and moved to capture other pirates.

Mia was still fighting with Jett as he is a tough opponent for her. Even so, he didn't help her anyway so that she can develop her fighting skills.

Within five minutes, Rey quickly captured the surviving pirates who are still fighting the other soldiers.

Mia's fight with Jett also came to end as her opponent was not able to endure under Mia's skills and his fighting spirit also declined when he saw everyone except him was captured.

Soon, he was also apprehended by Mia and confined like others. Just as Rey was about to tell everyone to move to their ship, Crocodile appeared.

"Hahaha, Marines even if you don't come, I would have captured these pirates because this is my territory." Crocodile laughingly said, trying to appear like a hero in commoner's eyes.

Rey smirked, "Mr.Crocodile, I heard these pirates were inside your Casino sometime before."

Crocodile's expression changed, only now he understood the youth before he didn't even care about his status of Shichibukai.

"Don't appear like a hero before me; Even if you are a Shichibukai, I will beat you the same as other pirates if you do anything wrong." Rey sneered.

Rey was not afraid of Crocodile since he already knows about his weakness. Crocodile's sand fruit is strong but his weakness of water is more than enough for Rey to beat him up.

"What did you say?" Crocodile fumed in anger and the sand around began to rise.

"What? Now, you want to attack the marines!"

"Hehe, You are just a brat who hasn't seen the world yet so don't speak your justice in front of me." Crocodile regained his calm and left the area.

"Crocodile, I will always keep my eyes on you," Rey said and left with his subordinates.

--

Rey, Mia and other Marine soldiers returned to their ship with captured pirates. Mia contacted headquarters stating that they captured Silver Gale Pirates.

Headquarters responded to them, instructing them to send the apprehended pirates to Impel down and return to headquarters.

Soon, their marine ship set off from the Alabasta Kingdom, while the Ship doctors came and mended the injured soldiers. Rey and Mia also slightly injured but it was nothing serious taking two days of rest is enough to completely recover.

"Rey, why did the report didn't mentioned anything about Trik possessing devil fruit?" Mia asked, furious about the lack of information.

"I think it's that old man Garp's doing, hiding the information from me so that these pirates will be a kind of test to me and other marine soldiers." Rey chuckled.

Unfortunately for Garp, Rey was able to guess his opponent's strength from just a single attack since he has the knowledge of the One Piece.

After leaving the Silver Gale pirates in Impel Down, Rey, and Mia returned to Headquarters. Rey then left to meet Garp.

He wanted to learn Haki badly so that he can face the Logia users without any predicament. He also wanted to speak about his future path.

"I heard you captured the Silver Gale pirates with ease. Brat, don't be arrogant just because you captured a single pirate, you have a long way ahead of you." Garp said while thinking how this brat escaped his plan unharmed.

"When will you teach me Haki?" Rey asked.

"Don't be in a rush, I will teach you when the time is right. From here onwards your duty is to patrol several areas of Grand Line and safeguard the Kingdom affiliated under World Government." Garp said.

"You will receive reports from Headquarters if there are pirates roaming nearby your region and your task is to capture them."

Garp then told him about the regions, he will be going on patrol and what he should do. Rey then disappointedly left his office noticing that Garp is not going to teach him Haki any sooner.
