“You’ve got the Berries—don’t push it. You wouldn’t want to break your word, would you?” Aokiji said coldly, a chill radiating from his body.
“Hah! You know who I am now, don’t you? Since when do pirates give a damn about promises?”
Shin laughed loudly and asked Aokiji.
“Shin Uzumaki, if you go back on your word… you’ll be putting us in a very difficult position,” Kizaru looked troubled, but in fact, he was already prepared for battle.
Difficult? Not my problem.
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!
Akainu, standing between the three, was suddenly hit by a heavy blow and sent flying, all the way into the distant sea, his body sinking.
“Consider this a little warning… If you’re weak, don’t look at me like you’re some kind of threat.”
Shin said to Kizaru and Aokiji.
“What a fast attack! When did he act?” Kizaru was very cautious internally. Standing beside Akainu, he didn’t even know when Shin had attacked him.
“QUICK! GET ADMIRAL AKAINU!”
Aokiji shouted to the Marines on the warship.
Immediately, some Marines jumped down, preparing to salvage Akainu, who had fallen into the sea. Akainu was a Devil Fruit user. He couldn’t swim. If he wasn’t salvaged quickly after falling into the sea—he would be drowned.
But a powerhouse of Akainu’s strength wouldn’t be drowned in a short time. He could probably hold his breath for an hour without any problem.
————
Soon, Akainu was salvaged.
At this point, Akainu definitely wasn’t in any position to talk tough. Not that it mattered—he’d already passed out.
“We’ll take our leave.”
Aokiji used Moonwalk to return to the warship, and Kizaru also turned into a beam of light and returned to the warship.
Shin was a bit conflicted at this moment. He had met Kizaru. Should he copy Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit ability?
Come to think of it, Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit wasn’t weak at all. Maybe it was worth copying.
In the end, Shin shrugged off his hesitation—and copied Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit ability. He consumed a Divine Replication Card, but he also obtained Kizaru’s Glint-Glint Fruit.
Thinking about it, it wasn’t a loss…
————
“<Laser!>”
Shin’s finger gathered photons, then shot out a laser beam. The laser instantly pierced through all obstacles in front of him.
“Not bad. The penetration is quite strong.”
After the photons were gathered—the laser beam they shot out had very strong penetration. If used by Shin, even Whitebeard using Armament Haki couldn’t defend against it.
“Shin, did you copy the Glint-Glint Fruit’s ability?”
Olvia, seeing the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit Shin used—wasn’t surprised, because Shin had already mentioned the copying ability.
“Yes. The Glint-Glint Fruit is quite good. The penetration of light is even stronger than the piercing of lightning,” Shin nodded.
“Let’s go. We’re done here.”
Shin called to Hancock, Olvia, Robin, and the female pirates of the Kuja Pirates to board the ship.
————
“Captain, should we find an island to replenish our supplies first?” A female pirate asked Shin.
“Yes, we should indeed replenish supplies. We just got a large sum of money. Let’s go to a nearby town and do some shopping.” Shin nodded, then looked at Olvia.
Only Olvia knew the way here. Thankfully, they had her—without Olvia, navigating these seas would’ve been a nightmare. She was also training the ship’s navigator, passing on her knowledge of sailing through the New World.
“Should I find Nami??” Shin thought to himself.
The current Nami was probably not very old. There was no hurry now. When Nami grew up, he would find her to be his navigator.
After all, Nami’s talent in navigation was definitely one of the best in the One Piece world. Even Shiki wanted her talent.
“Where is our target?” Robin asked Shin curiously.
“The target is to become an Emperor. Now we have to find someone with a reputation to fight.”
Shin stroked his chin and said.
After all, reputation was forged in battle. Shin may have defeated Whitebeard once, but that alone didn’t make him an Emperor.
To some, Shin’s individual strength might’ve surpassed Whitebeard’s—but that didn’t mean he was stronger than the Whitebeard Pirates as a whole.
Right now, they were still regarded as the strongest pirate crew on the seas. And truth be told, Whitebeard’s sons were nothing to take lightly.
“Are we going to war with another pirate crew?” Hancock’s eyes showed interest.
“You that eager for a fight?” Shin stroked Hancock’s soft hair and asked her.
“Yes! I want to test my strength! I want to be able to help Shin!” Hancock pounced on Shin and said seriously.
“Hancock, can you get off Shin first?” Robin pulled on Hancock.
“Oh? Are you jealous?” Hancock turned her head to look at Robin and asked.
“…” Robin’s face flushed red, embarrassed by Hancock’s teasing. The current Robin was still a tender young girl, not the future older sister. It was normal for her to feel shy.
————
After arriving at a small island and replenishing their supplies in the town on this small island, Shin and his group set off.
After giving it some thought, he finally decided to target Big Mom. She was, after all, the easiest one to track down.
Big Mom was on Whole Cake Island.
This island was like a layered cake.
————
“We’re going to stir up trouble with the Big Mom Pirates?” Olvia looked at Shin, speechless. Was he trying to make enemies of the entire world?
“Of course. So what if I cause her trouble??” Shin said with a faint smile.
“In the entire sea, you’re probably the only one bold enough to do this.” Olvia didn’t know what to say anymore.
Though she hadn’t been to Whole Cake Island, Olvia still knew its location.
“By the way, let me tell you something. Big Mom actually has a Road Poneglyph,” Shin said to Olvia, telling her something she would be interested in.
Even now, for Olvia, history was still one of her greatest interests.
“Really?” Robin, hearing Shin’s words, also quickly came over, looking up at Shin and asking.
“Probably.” Shin stroked his chin and said.
“Judging by the look on your face, Shin, you’re not so sure yourself,”
Olvia couldn’t help but say. If Shin really knew, he wouldn’t use the word “Probably.”
Shin shrugged.
Who knew if the current Big Mom had obtained one of the four Road Poneglyphs? In the future, she did possess one of them.
The giant ship of the Kuja Pirates slowly sailed towards Whole Cake Island.
Shin didn’t hide anything. He didn’t go secretly.
If he was going to cause trouble, he’d do it out in the open. Shin wasn’t the type to sneak around—he had a reputation to uphold.
