As Shin waited for the auction to begin, Hancock nudged him with her small hand.
“Shin-nii, do you have any Berries?”
Shin was taken aback by Hancock’s question. He really didn’t have any Berries. But attending an auction without money was impossible.
Did he have to resort to just taking what he wanted?
“Do you guys have any?” Shin asked Olvia and the others. But after asking, Shin realized it was a stupid question.
Olvia had just been imprisoned by the Marines; how could she have any Berries? Hancock had none either. As for Robin, she pulled out a thousand Berries.
Shin was speechless. A thousand Berries might be enough for a single meal.
“I can’t believe I’m poor now.”
Shin sighed slightly. In the Naruto world, he was practically a tycoon. When he left, Shin had given all his money to Nawaki. It was useless outside the Naruto world anyway.
“If we went back to Amazon Lily, I could get a lot of Berries,” Hancock said.
On Amazon Lily, with her status, getting Berries would be easy. But not out here.
“Robin, let me borrow this thousand Berries for a moment.” Shin took Robin’s one thousand Berries, examined it carefully, then returned it to her.
Then, Shin used Yin-Yang Release to create a large pile of Berries. Yin-Yang Release could create anything, even living things. Creating Berries was a simple matter.
“THIS IS…??”
Olvia’s eyes widened. She didn’t know what kind of monstrous Devil Fruit Shin had eaten.
He could even create Berries? It was a bit scary to think about. And Olvia examined the Berries—they looked completely real, not at all like fakes.
“I just thought of a way to make money. What do you think would happen if I sold fake Devil Fruits?” Shin mused.
“Savior, I advise you not to do that. You’ll be hunted by everyone,” Olvia, hearing Shin’s words, was shocked and quickly advised him against it.
Creating and selling fake Devil Fruits would offend too many people. A single misstep could make him a public enemy. So Olvia wanted to persuade Shin not to do such a thing. It was an extremely dangerous venture.
“If I sell fake Devil Fruits, no one will be able to find me,” Shin said with a smile.
He could just use a Shadow Clone and the Transformation Jutsu to sell them. Who could find Shin? Absolutely no one.
“Also, don’t call me ‘Savior.’ Just call me by my name. It feels a bit awkward,” Shin said to Olvia.
“Can I call you Shin-nii?” Robin looked at Shin with sparkling eyes.
In Robin’s heart, she was very grateful to Shin. If not for Shin-nii, she and her mother would have probably perished in Ohara.
“Of course you can.” Shin reached out and patted Robin’s little head.
“Hmph.”
Hancock snorted coldly. Before, Hancock had felt Robin was pitiful and deserved sympathy. Now, Hancock didn’t think she deserved sympathy at all.
‘Trying to steal my Shin-nii?’ From today onwards, she was her rival.
In Hancock’s heart, she had already considered Robin an enemy. She looked at Robin with some hostility, but Robin was still unaware of this.
“What are your plans now?”
Shin asked Olvia, wanting to know her future plans.
“I’ll probably go into hiding for a while,” Olvia said with a wry smile.
It wouldn’t be long before she and her daughter were wanted. So, Olvia had no other plans for now. She would follow Shin for now and see if she could repay her debt. Olvia wouldn’t forget Shin’s kindness.

“The auction has begun.”
At this moment, Shin’s gaze turned to the auction stage. This auction was said to have many good things.
He wondered if any of the Supreme Grade Swords would be auctioned. There were twelve Supreme Grade Swords in total. The only one confirmed was Hawkeye’s black blade, Yoru.
The Shodai Kitetsu, Whitebeard’s naginata, and Shanks’s Saber were also suspected to be Supreme Grade Swords, but it wasn’t clear.
Shin was just thinking. The possibility of a Supreme Grade Sword appearing at such an auction was almost zero.
They probably wouldn’t even see a Great Grade Sword.
Though Shin was interested in swords, his interest wasn’t that great. The sword he created with Truth-Seeking Orbs could erase anything.
In the Naruto world, there were Six Paths level people to resist it, but in the One Piece world, who had Six Paths power? Whoever he cut would disappear. And Shin also had a Kusanagi Blade he hadn’t used in a long time.
————
The first item auctioned was jewelry. Though it looked beautiful, Shin wasn’t interested, so he didn’t bid.
The subsequent items were basically all jewelry and collectibles. They were very precious to the nobles.
“Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is an incredibly precious treasure, a secret treasure of the sea!”
Seeing the auctioneer’s excited expression, Shin knew the main event was coming. Next up was the Devil Fruit auction.
“I believe everyone has already guessed. The next item to be auctioned is a Devil Fruit! First up is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit! We don’t know what fruit it is, though.”
————
Seeing the Devil Fruit displayed, Shin’s gaze turned to Olvia. He didn’t know what this Devil Fruit was, but Olvia should know.
“This is the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit.”
Olvia confirmed carefully, then said to Shin.
“Love-Love Fruit?” Shin was slightly stunned, then his gaze turned to Hancock. This was the Devil Fruit Hancock would eat in the future.
Now, due to his arrival, the plot had changed. There was no way Hancock would be captured by human traffickers.
Shin had thought Hancock would miss out on the Love-Love Fruit, but he hadn’t expected the first Devil Fruit at this auction to be the Love-Love Fruit.
Since he had seen this Devil Fruit, Shin planned to buy it and give it to Hancock.
The Love-Love Fruit, as a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, wasn’t weak among all Devil Fruits—and if developed properly, it would be extremely overpowered—especially coupled with Hancock’s beauty. Though Hancock was still young now, she was already a budding beauty.
