in a hospital, Rein saw the ceiling of his eyes were already a bit heavy to open, he already knew this day would come but he was a bit reluctant to leave this world without knowing about the ending of One Piece.
Rein looked left and right seeing his aunt and uncle, and his cousin who was crying for the last time before the world went dark for him.
Rein felt a bit noisy before opening his eyes confused, looking around the place where he fell asleep like he was in a room like a hotel.
with a confused face Rein got up to the bathroom to wash his face, seeing a face that looked like his own but looked 14-15 years old, Rein froze, if he remembered correctly he should have died, so where was he now, looking around until he saw a newspaper next to where he was sleeping earlier.
'Doflamingo becomes a shicibukai'
'King Riku III leads his army to kill many of his citizens after they donate'
'Tom the builder of the sea train will be tried for helping Roger become the pirate king by making him a ship'
seeing the news in this newspaper Rein knew he was now in the one piece world, for some reason he was very excited even though he knew that this world was very dangerous.
because he couldn't see the ending in the manga then he would see for himself what the ending would be like.
after calming down for a while, Rein made a plan; 1. become Luffy's crew and follow Luffy to the last island. 2. form your own pirates follow Shanks' path watching Luffy develop.
After thinking for a while, Brian decided to follow Shanks' trail and see Luffy reach the last island. Besides, after he came to the One Piece world, he didn't have his own crew, which was a bit of a shame.
for the crew, Rein will recruit Gin, Krieg's subordinate first, although he is not strong in paradise and the new world at this time but in the 4 seas he is strong enough, he will also reach the new world and most importantly he is very loyal.
Looking at the timeline he is now 7 years before Luffy sailed which also means Gin is only 18 years old which maybe he has not sailed with Krieg.
after having made a plan Rein left the hotel looking for a shop to buy goods to sail, he has money from his new body, but he also doesn't care who he used to be.
Rein arrived at the Nagagutsu kingdom, he had sailed to many islands for 3 months but he had not found Gin, he hoped Gin was on this island.
in the corner of the Nagagutsu Kingdom an 18/19 year old man was running, behind him were Nagagutsu kingdom soldiers chasing.
"damn didn't you just steal a little money" said the man.
"hey wait don't run" shouted a guard.
the man was wearing long pants with a green shirt, he ran while looking back without realizing he bumped into a man with a large body, if Rein saw him he would know who this was, yes he was Krieg,
"what's wrong with you kid?" asked Krieg.
"what do you mean what's wrong, move aside don't block the way" said Gin then he ran again.
Krieg saw that Gin who bumped into him was not injured arousing his interest, he had long wanted to go to sea but he needed a strong subordinate, in his eyes Gin was a worthy figure. then Krieg followed from behind
Gin who ran caused a commotion, Rein who was shopping also saw him, and immediately recognized him, wasn't this Gin his future vice captain.
seeing that he seemed to be being chased, Rein pulled him into the hotel to get the supplies he had bought,
"who are you?" Gin said warily, this person was pulling him.
"me? we'll talk later, yao go first" said Rein.
pulling Gin back through the back door of the hotel straight to the harbor to go to his ship.
getting closer to the pier, they saw a large body sitting in the corner, as if they already knew that they would escape here. Rein saw the person, an alarm sounded in his heart, were Gin and that person already partners.
"hey are you with him?" asked Rein, Rein was a little frustrated if Gin had really been taken by Krieg, seeing how loyal he was, it would be hard for Rein to invite him.
"no, I don't know him, but I hit him earlier" said Gin, he thought the person was Rein's friend, it turned out not to be, was this person going to take revenge for having hit him.
"finally you're here" said Krieg.
"who are you?" asked Gin.
"I'm Krieg, kid, be my pirate crew, let's sweep all the oceans clean, and I will finish off the people who have been chasing you" Krieg said confidently. Besides, his armor is very strong.
"No, I don't want to" Gin didn't believe it, he was wary that the person in front of him was part of this kingdom.
Rein who was beside him was a little nervous when he heard Krieg recruit Gin,
"Luckily I met Gin at the right time" Rein muttered. If it was too late, wouldn't everything he had gone through for 3 months be in vain.
Krieg frowned hearing Gin reject him,
"you rejected him?" Krieg asked in a slightly deep voice.
"hey old man, didn't he reject him, are you deaf" Rein said. afraid Krieg threatened Gin, and Gin agreed.
hearing Rein's words, Krieg was quite angry,
"boy, your little brother is quite sharp-spoken" he said.
"he's not my little brother, and I've also rejected you" Gin said.
"because you've rejected him, you should just die here" Krieg said angrily with red eyes.
then Kreig advanced quickly carrying his spear to attack, seeing that Rein immediately took out the gun he bought to shoot, in the past 3 months, Rein had always practiced shooting. he realized that without his golden finger he would need a long time to train, so he would use a gun that was enough for the east blue.
Krieg covered it with his shield, Rein shot while running with Gin who had seen the signal from his eyes towards his ship. Rein knew that he couldn't beat Krieg yet so they had to run, get on the boat and row quickly. Krieg who was also going to run to the boat to chase them stopped when he saw many soldiers coming.
"captain thank you for blocking them for us" shouted Rein seeing who came.
hearing Rein's words, Krieg was very angry.
"watch out you kid, if we meet again I will cut you into pieces" shouted Krieg angrily.
