On the beach, Shin caught a Sea Beast and was now roasting it—this was a sea creature—a type of fish—perhaps, but its taste was completely different from fish. It was quite large, though not as huge as a Sea King.

But this thing was delicious when roasted, better than any other roasted meat Shin had ever eaten, and very nutritious.

Perhaps the people of the One Piece world had such good physiques because they ate this kind of nutritious meat.

Robin was also sitting here, but she appeared somewhat reserved.

Hancock occasionally glanced at Robin, then compared herself to her. After the comparison, Hancock felt much more at ease.

In all aspects, Robin couldn’t compare to her at all, she posed no threat!

“It’s ready. Eat up.”

Shin handed the roasted meat to Hancock and Robin.

“Thank you, Shin-nii.” Hancock kissed Shin on the cheek, then took the roasted meat from him.

“Thank you,” Robin also said to Shin in a low voice.

Halfway through their meal, Shin’s gaze turned towards the sea. It seemed the Marines had arrived.

Ten warships were approaching at full speed, equipped with the best weapons. These were warships built in Water 7.

Not long after, the Marines drew closer. Shin could already see Sakazuki and Kuzan standing on the ships.

“System, if I copy a Devil Fruit’s ability, there won’t be any side effects, right?”

Shin asked the System in his mind.

Devil Fruits were treasures of the sea. Though they could grant people powerful abilities, they also had drawbacks—namely, weakness to seawater and Seastone.

Encountering seawater or Seastone would render one completely powerless—anyone who ate a Devil Fruit would become a dead weight in the water, rejected by the sea.

But even so, Devil Fruits were still extremely precious.

The value of each Devil Fruit would not be less than 100 million Berries. And that was just for normal Devil Fruits. If it were a powerful Logia-type Devil Fruit, no one would sell it even for 100 billion Berries.

Though some Logia Devil Fruits were relatively useless, most were quite powerful—For example, the Devil Fruits of the future three Admirals were all the most powerful Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Getting sidetracked. Shin wanted to know if copying a Devil Fruit’s ability would also copy its weaknesses.

“[No. Master, you are only copying the Devil Fruit’s ability. You have not eaten the Devil Fruit, so you naturally won’t have the Devil Fruit’s weaknesses.]” The System replied to Shin.

“[If Master actively copies the Devil Fruit’s side effects, that’s another matter.]”

“…..” Shin’s mouth twitched upon hearing this.

Actively copying a Devil Fruit’s side effects?? Only a fool would do that.

————

“Looks like the System is still reliable. In that case, I can consider copying a Devil Fruit’s ability. Should I copy the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Ice-Ice Fruit?”

Shin looked at Sakazuki and Kuzan in the distance. These two Devil Fruits were right before his eyes…

Should he copy them??

After hesitating for a moment, Shin shook his head. There’s probably no need… He could use Ice Release—and its power was even greater than Kuzan’s Ice-Ice Fruit.

As for the Magma-Magma Fruit, sorry, he could also use Lava Release. So, the Magma-Magma Fruit was also useless to him.

If Borsalino were here, Shin wouldn’t mind copying the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Compared to the Magma-Magma Fruit and the Ice-Ice Fruit, Shin preferred the Glint-Glint Fruit.

The speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit was unbeatable.

There was also the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—This fruit’s ability was quite strong, hailed as the Strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit.

In terms of destructive power, it probably surpassed other Logia-type Devil Fruits. And in terms of speed, it wasn’t slow either.

It could also enhance the ability of Observation Haki!

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was on Skypiea. It probably hadn’t been eaten by Enel yet—But even if he could find the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Shin wouldn’t eat it.

He didn’t want to gain another weakness.

Wouldn’t it be better to let someone else eat it, then copy the fruit’s ability??

At most, it would just consume a Replication Card. Wasn’t exchanging a Replication Card for a Devil Fruit ability without any side effects a good deal?

“Is that a Marine warship? What are they doing here?” Robin stood up, looking at the Marine warships and murmuring.

“This island is in trouble. Do you want to go back and warn the people on the island?” Shin turned his head and asked Robin.

Robin nodded, then immediately ran to warn the people on the island.

“Sigh. Without strength—yet they study things beyond their capabilities.”

Shin shook his head slightly.

Were the people of Ohara innocent? They were indeed very innocent. After all, the disaster was brought about by those scholars.

But in this world. Weakness was a sin…

If it were Whitebeard who was studying the Poneglyphs, would the Marines attack him??

————

“FIRE!” Sakazuki ordered the Marine soldiers.

“WAIT, SAKAZUKI!”

Kuzan immediately stepped forward to stop Sakazuki.

“The World Government wants to eliminate those scholars. The civilians are innocent—” Kuzan said to Sakazuki.

“Do you understand what a Buster Call is?” Sakazuki glanced at Kuzan with an expressionless face. A Buster Call was an indiscriminate attack on a region. He just needed to execute the order.

“If you have something to say—you can go talk to Sengoku. Don’t obstruct me from carrying out my mission.”

Sakazuki said coldly to Kuzan.

Kuzan frowned at Sakazuki. He and Sakazuki had always been at odds. Their ideals clashed. Sakazuki was too extreme.

As a Marine, he was indeed iron-blooded. But his methods were too extreme and cruel, even more so than pirates…

————

“Are the Marines going to bombard this island?” Hancock looked up at Shin and asked.

“Mm.” Shin nodded, then looked deeply at Hancock.

“What’s wrong, Shin-nii?”

Seeing Shin staring at her, Hancock asked him with some confusion.

“Hancock, can you wipe your hands before grabbing my clothes?” Shin pointed at the two greasy handprints on his clothes and said to Hancock, exasperated.

“Sorry, Shin-nii.” Hancock stuck out her tongue sheepishly. She hadn’t done it on purpose; she just hadn’t noticed before.

“Wipe your mouth too. You still have grease on it.” Shin took out a piece of paper and helped Hancock wipe her mouth.

Then Shin looked at the Marine warships.

Should he fight them? If he really fought them, he would become famous in this world—and After becoming famous, his name would likely deter a large number of small-time pirates. He wouldn’t be harassed by small fry anymore.

And today, he would definitely have a fight with them. He had to save Robin and her mother, a conflict with them was certain.
