It's been two days since the battle, Rey was completely recovered and full of energy, yearning for another fight.

"Rey, look at this wanted poster, he is a right-hand man of yellow skull pirate captain, 'Whitecap' with a bounty of 70,000 Berries." Mia handed the poster to Rey.

Both of them was currently looking at a bunch of latest wanted posters issued by the Marine headquarters.

In the wanted poster, he saw a 30 something man, short beard and messy hair with a white cap on his head.

"He will be a perfect target but he is in a pirate crew. Since his bounty is already 70,000 Belly, then his captain's bounty will be much higher." Rey spoke observing the wanted poster.

"Hehe, I heard there's was a fallout between him and his captain so he left the Yellow skull pirates crew and decided to join another pirate crew. But currently, he hasn't joined any pirate crew so it's a perfect opportunity for us to capture him." Mia replied.

"Mia, how did you gather so much news?"

"Snort, it's because I am more capable and intelligent than you." Mia proudly replied.

"So, do you know anything about his strength?"

"Yes, according to the reports, his fighting style is considered reckless and erratic so anyone who faces him will have a hard time facing his attacks." Mia described.

"What about his location?"

"He is on a Gozo island, it will take half a day for us to reach there", Mia said.

"Then we will leave today by boarding the scouting ship which will depart at night, and return by the same ship after capturing him", Rey said.

"Mia prepare some idea and get approval for us to board the ship."

"Ok" Mia set out to arrange necessary items for their travel.

---

The very evening,

As planned, both Mia and Rey departed from the marine base and boarded the standard marine ship which is going to patrol the nearby island including the Gozo Island.

Next day both of them reached the Gozo Island and set off in search of Whitecap.

After searching the entire island, Rey spotted Whitecap in a rundown restaurant. The unexpected thing is, Whitecap is not alone; He was drinking with his underlings, estimated to be more than 10.

"Boss, It's marine!" One of his underlings noticed Rey and Mia who are decked in marine uniform.

Whitecap was startled as he didn't expect that marines have already discovered his fallout with his captain and came sniffing around.

When he saw it's only two youngsters, he relaxed and let his guard down. "Haha, it's just two rookies who lost their way; kill them and make sure the marines won't find their body."

Two of his underlings stood up from their table and came forward cruelly licking their lips.

One of the men took out his knife and was ready to pierce Rey's heart. But Mia who was standing by his side took out her pistol and fired.

He was shot in the shoulder and dropped to the floor twitching in pain. Mia's action was sudden and swift, providing no room for the pirate to dodge.

"Shit, these youngsters have firearms!"

"Hehe, I think that pistol will suit me well." One of the underlings greedily looked at the pistol.

Mia didn't halt her firing, she shot her bullets at all of the underlings. Since all of them were alert, her firing only injured three of them while others easily took cover.

Rey knows it's a waste of time dealing with this underlings, so he swiftly took action and knocked two of them by striking their necks.

The remaining underlings ran away in fear leaving Whitecap all alone.

"Hmph, a bunch of chickens" Whitecap grunted and scrutinized Rey and Mia with his evil-looking eyes. It seems like Whitecap didn't seem to put Rey in his eyes.

"If I am not wrong you two lads came here alone. Hehe, are you guys that confident in your strength to capture me?" Saying this, his entire demeanor changed.

Whitecap emitted a strong murderous intent, while his eyes were menacing and cold.

"Mia, you stay back." Rey didn't speak any nonsense with his opponent, he straight away charged at his opponent.

Rey's strength and speed considerably improved after his last fight, what he lacks is a technique to fully utilize his strength.

That's why lately he's been developing a technique which suits him the best, like Garp, who practiced his fist technique to pinnacle.

But he needs time to develop and perfect his technique so in this battle he can only perform a normal combat technique using his hands and legs.

As Mia said, Whitecap's fighting style was erratic and random. Rey got punched and kicked trying to block his attacks even though he is quick in his steps.

'It's unpredictable! He fights like a wounded animal, I shouldn't try to defend his attacks.'

Rey also started to fiercely strike, aiming at his opponent's vital spots. He suddenly saw something shiny from the corner of his eyes, 'Oh no'

Even though he quickly retreated, Rey suffered a slash from his opponent's cunning move as Whitecap held a sharp knife and licked the drops of blood in it.

'Rey!' Mia who was watching the battle from the sidelines got worried. She quickly loaded her pistol for an emergency.

Rey had a small cut in his chest which is not deep. Thankfully, he quickly reacted, otherwise, he could have suffered a massive injury.

Rey knew that only one would walk away from this fight. The difference between them is a battle experience because unlike Rey, his opponent is someone who killed other humans and experienced bloody fights.

His opponent wants him dead so if he makes any rash moves like now, what awaits him is certain death.

Whitecap charged with a loud cry. Rey dodged to the side and attacked him with equal strength.

The fight between Whitecap and Rey was mighty, as both of their fists clashed in the mid-air presenting a resounding 'Boom'.

As the fight was going on, both of them destroyed half of the restaurant and came out to battle in open.

Whitecap was also injured by some of Rey's fist. The battle continued for more than 15 minutes, now it's a fight of stamina and endurance.

What shocked Whitecap is, his opponent's technique was improving by every passing second and also his strength and speed.

Many wounds began to appear on Whitecap and Rey's body. Rey injuries were not deep, but some of his fists hit a vital region of Whitecap's body and inflicted a heavy injury to him.

Even so, Rey noticed Whitecap possesses inhuman endurance as he was able to continue fighting after receiving multiple attacks and suffering injuries which would incapacitate normal people

Human's naturally would have their own limit so was Whitecap. Soon, he began to slowly lose his stamina.

'If I am to die, I should at least bring him with me' A cold light flashed in Whitecap's eyes.

"Die! Die!" Whitecap began to put the ultimate and final struggle for his life, sensing that he is losing the fight. His attacks grow more fierce and violent while his eyes are bloodshot.

"A fight to the death, huh?" Rey smirked as he sensed what his opponent was trying to do.

Once again from out of nowhere, a sharp knife appeared before his heart, ready to pierce his heart. As if expecting the attack, Rey easily dodged to the side and attacked Whitecap, who's wide open.

Rey's fist, fully packed with power struck Whitecap's stomach, throwing him in the air.

Whitecap fell heavily on the ground with a 'plop' and coughed a mouthful of blood. Rey appeared before him like a ghost and kicked his head causing him to spit another mouthful of blood.

Whitecap laid weakly on the ground with a swollen and beaten face, with no energy to move.

"Mia, cuff his hands, we should leave this place", Rey told. "Since his underlings escaped, they may come back with helpers."

Soon, Rey and Mia left the place with Whitecap whose hands are cuffed behind his back.
