Shin’s eyes narrowed. Toki Amatsuki hadn’t lied. If she had, she wouldn’t have been able to deceive him—unless she was stronger than him.

An accident during time travel? And she appeared at the exact spot where he had transmigrated?

Suddenly, a strange expression crossed Shin’s face—Could it be that his arrival in this world caused an accident for Toki as she was traveling from the past to the future?

Though it was just a guess, Shin felt it was highly likely.

“System, was her arrival related to my transmigration?” Shin asked the System, seeking confirmation.

“[It is related.]”

The System gave a definitive answer.

“Why did you travel from the past to the present?” Shin asked Toki.

Toki remained silent, refusing to answer. Not all secrets could be revealed.

“If I really wanted to know, you couldn’t hide it from me. I could rip your soul out and read every memory. But there’s no need for that…”

Shin’s words made Toki’s body stiffen. She had no doubt about Shin’s words. A woman’s intuition was often terrifying. She felt Shin wasn’t lying.

“You’re not afraid of me??”

Shin leaned closer to Toki, whispering in her ear.

Toki’s cheeks flushed briefly before settling.

She glanced at Shin. Honestly, she didn’t feel afraid. If he looked cruel or intimidating, maybe she would’ve. But Shin wasn’t intimidating. In fact, he was the most handsome man she’d ever laid eyes on.

“We have no grudge against each other. There’s no reason to fear you, right?” Toki said, feigning calmness. She believed that since they had no enmity, she had no reason to be afraid.

“Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. Now I’ll give you two choices. One is to join the Kuja Pirates. The other is to leave Amazon Lily immediately.”

Shin sat on the throne, looking at Toki.

“ISN’T THAT JUST GIVING ME ONE CHOICE?” Toki’s face showed a hint of defiance, her mood not very good.

She had been on Amazon Lily for over a year. She knew where it was located. This was the Calm Belt, the sea outside filled with Sea Kings. Even 800 years ago, they were very wary of the massive Sea Kings.

If she chose to leave Amazon Lily, it’d be a death sentence. Toki didn’t have the strength to cross the Calm Belt—and as a Devil Fruit user, the sea itself was her enemy. Without a ship, she’d drown before she got anywhere.

————

“You can try to continue traveling to the future,” Shin said to Toki.

“The power of the Time-Time Fruit cannot be used at will. I don’t have the ability to travel through time again now.”

Toki shook her head.

Traveling from 800 years ago to this era was already quite a BUG. So, the power of the Time-Time Fruit naturally had its limits. For the next ten years, she couldn’t even think about traveling through time again. Otherwise, Toki would have left long ago.

“You actually revealed your weakness in front of me…”

Shin looked at Toki with interest.

“You’re a smart person. Even if I don’t say it, you can guess. Since that’s the case, I might as well just tell you directly.”

The reason Toki said everything was that she didn’t want to be clever. Besides the things she really didn’t want to say, Toki wouldn’t hide anything else.

“Then you can tell me your choice now, right?” Shin asked Toki.

“I agree to join the Kuja Pirates.” Toki said with a wry smile. She didn’t want to die yet. She could only join the Kuja Pirates for now.

“A wise choice.”

Shin didn’t ask Toki any more questions.

It was possible Toki knew something about Imu and the Five Elders, but she might not say.

As for directly searching Toki’s memories? Shin didn’t want to do that. There was still a long time. It was better to slowly uncover the secrets of this world.

After all, Shin couldn’t leave the One Piece world—not yet. The System needed to fully recharge before it could take him anywhere.

He had plenty of time to slowly understand the secrets of this world. Slowly understanding them was more interesting for Shin.

————

“Follow me.”

Shin told Toki to follow him to attend Hancock’s succession ceremony.

Hancock had changed into a grand outfit, looking quite majestic. Her body even exuded a hint of domineering aura.

“Shin, look at Hancock’s great change.” Robin, after Shin came over, said to him.

Hancock’s current change was too much of a contrast for Robin. Mainly because when Hancock was with Shin—she always had a well-behaved appearance.

“It’s normal. Hancock has the qualities of a King.” Shin wasn’t surprised at all.

Besides, besides appearing well-behaved and clingy around him, in front of others, Hancock always had an arrogant appearance.

“Shin, who is this woman?”

Olvia’s attention was focused on Amatsuki Toki, who was wearing a samurai uniform and standing behind Shin. It was impossible not to notice. Even if she was behind Shin, many people would notice her stunning beauty.

For example, Hancock, who was currently on the stage for her succession ceremony, also saw Toki.

“That woman…” Hancock’s eyes showed hostility. A powerful aura suddenly emanated from her body, pressing down on Toki.

“Hmm?”

Shin stared in surprise at Hancock on the stage. She had just awakened Conqueror’s Haki—right here, right now, on the day she became Empress of Amazon Lily.

This was a great thing.

Shin didn’t know that Hancock had awakened Conqueror’s Haki because she was stimulated by seeing Toki standing beside him.

Toki, targeted by Hancock, felt her head grow heavy, a dizzy feeling coming from her mind.

Hancock’s Conqueror’s Haki was still very weak, so it didn’t have much effect on Toki.

————

“Hancock really does have the qualities of a king… This is Conqueror’s Haki.” Robin’s face showed surprise.

Among a million people—not even one person with the qualities of a king might be born. And even if one had the qualities of a king, they might die halfway through.

So, the number of people who could truly awaken Conqueror’s Haki on the sea could basically be counted on one hand.

The succession ceremony was over quickly, but Hancock’s expression remained cold the entire time.

Shin knew exactly why Hancock was upset. And he had a feeling it wouldn’t be long before she came looking for him.

Sure enough, just as the succession ceremony ended and the banquet was about to be held, Hancock ran directly to find Shin.

“SHIN, WHO IS THIS WOMAN? I’VE NEVER SEEN HER BEFORE.”

Hancock hugged Shin’s arm, looking at Amatsuki Toki with full hostility.
