“WE CAN FLY!”
Hancock was very excited, floating in the air with Shin. She had originally wanted to suggest Shin find a ship, but she hadn’t expected they could fly directly.
“What’s so surprising about that?”
Shin was a bit speechless. Hancock was still so young, her worldview quite shallow.
In the world of Naruto, very few people could fly. But in the world of One Piece, it was much more common. For example, the Geppo technique from the Six Powers allowed one to walk on air and ascend into the sky.
Of course, Geppo couldn’t be sustained for long, as it consumed a great deal of stamina. Even the Marine Hero Garp couldn’t use it for extended periods.
“Are we going to get lost?”
Hancock asked Shin. Without a Log Pose, it was easy to get lost at sea and not be able to find an island.
Though Hancock was young, she knew about these things. Elder Nyon had likely been training her from a young age, so Hancock was quite knowledgeable.
“We won’t get lost. Don’t worry. Since I decided to leave, I came prepared,” Shin said with a light chuckle to a worried-looking Hancock.
“Oh, that’s good then.”
Although she had only known Shin for half a month, Hancock trusted him completely—
Perhaps Shin’s appearance just made it easy for little girls to trust him…
————
Shin and Hancock left, and Elder Nyon on Amazon Lily was roaring. She had already discovered that Hancock and Shin were gone.
Hancock and Shin had left a note when they left, and Elder Nyon had seen it, knowing Hancock had left Amazon Lily with Shin.
“I hope nothing happens to Hancock…”
Elder Nyon’s face was filled with worry. She immediately dispatched the Kuja Pirates to search for any trace of Hancock.
————
Flying over the Calm Belt, Shin glanced down at the massive creatures swimming in the sea below—the Sea Kings.
Sea Kings were exceptionally large creatures that lived in the oceans of the One Piece world, with the largest being even bigger than islands.
The Calm Belt was their nesting ground. Most people wouldn’t dream of entering this area.
The Kuja Pirates’ ship could pass through because their vessel was pulled by powerful Sea Kings.
Having Sea Kings to intimidate their own kind was what guaranteed their safety.
Marine warships, with Seastone embedded in their hulls, could also navigate the Calm Belt.
But for other pirate ships, this was a forbidden zone. To enter here was essentially a death sentence.
“There’s not much to see. Let’s get out of here quickly,” Shin said to Hancock.
“Mm.”
Hancock nodded. Below was just endless seawater, nothing else. It was quite boring.
Hancock’s eyesight certainly couldn’t compare to Shin’s, so she couldn’t see the Sea Kings swimming in the depths.
“Shin-nii, where are we going? Do we have a destination?” Hancock asked Shin.
“Of course we have a destination. We’re going to the West Blue.”
Shin’s target was Ohara in the West Blue.
At this time, Ohara had not yet been destroyed. If Ohara had been destroyed, he would have heard the news even on Amazon Lily.
Although Amazon Lily was isolated, this world had News Coo, creatures that could deliver news to any corner of the globe.
A Buster Call launched by the Marines would definitely make the papers. Since he hadn’t heard any such news, it meant Ohara had not yet been destroyed—and since Ohara wasn’t destroyed, he would go and take a look.
Ohara was a holy land of archaeology; there might be many secrets there—A group of scholars deciphering the Poneglyphs… he didn’t know if they had deciphered them. Perhaps they had discovered something, which was why the World Government launched a Buster Call.
Shin was somewhat curious about the Poneglyphs. Of course, his target this time wasn’t the Poneglyphs, but to meet the powerhouses of this world.
The Buster Call involved Akainu and Aokiji—no, they didn’t have those titles yet. At this time, they were still Vice Admirals, not yet Admirals…
————
“Going to the West Blue… that seems really far, right?” Hancock said, tilting her little head.
“That’s right. The West Blue is very far.”
Shin thought for a moment.
To get to the West Blue, he could either go to Reverse Mountain and enter from there, or head to the New World and cross the Calm Belt to the West Blue.
Considering both routes, Shin felt that going to the New World was closer. Shin didn’t need to pass through Fish-Man Island to reach the New World.
He could just fly directly over the Holy Land of Mary Geoise. If anyone had a problem with that, Shin was more than ready to deal with them—
—This world definitely wouldn’t have anyone stronger than him.
In terms of combat strength, the top-tier fighters of the Naruto world were definitely stronger than those of the One Piece world.
The highest level in Naruto was the Six Paths level—and Whitebeard, the Strongest Man in the One Piece world, definitely didn’t have Six Paths level combat strength.
At most, he was probably on the level of Hashirama Senju.
This was just Shin’s own speculation. He had never seen Whitebeard in person, so he wasn’t sure.
If it were about the sheer number of fighters, the One Piece world definitely had more than the Naruto world.
————
Not long after, Shin left the Calm Belt. His flight speed was naturally quite fast.
“There’s a pirate ship ahead. Let’s go rob it.”
Shortly after leaving the Calm Belt, Shin spotted dozens of pirate ships and immediately said to Hancock.
“Alright, alright!” Hancock was quite excited, her little face flushing with exhilaration.
In the blink of an eye, Shin arrived on the largest of the pirate ships. His gaze fell on the bald man covered in scars on the deck.
“KID, WHO ARE YOU? Setting foot on my ship uninvited—are you tired of living??”
“Are you the captain of this pirate ship?”
Shin smiled at the bald man. Though the man was bald, Shin wasn’t afraid. He wasn’t Saitama, after all.
“KILL HIM.”
Blood Wolf looked at Shin with murderous eyes and ordered his underlings.
————
“Shin-nii, can you handle them?” Hancock suddenly became nervous, her small hands tightly gripping Shin’s clothes.
She had been excited before, but seeing these fierce pirates, Hancock became scared again.
“Just a few small fry.”
Shin flicked his wrist, and several shuriken flew out. The pirates who had moved to attack Shin all found a thin line of blood across their necks.
A dozen men fell to the deck, their lives slowly fading. The pirate captain, Blood Wolf, who had been unconcerned before, narrowed his eyes and became cautious.
“No wonder you had the nerve to come onto my ship. You’re strong—Interested in joining my Blood Wolf Pirates?”
Blood Wolf didn’t attack but instead invited Shin. Clearly, Blood Wolf was impressed by Shin’s strength. And since he had flown over earlier, he must have a Devil Fruit.
This wasn’t the New World; it was the Grand Line. Though there were many Devil Fruit users, there weren’t that many.
“Join your pirate crew? A piece of trash like you… What’s your bounty?” Shin glanced at him with disdain and asked.
Looking at Shin’s contemptuous gaze, Blood Wolf’s face darkened.
