“That must be Urouge’s pirate crew up ahead.”
Shin’s gaze fell upon a distant pirate ship, its crew composed entirely of monks in traditional robes.
“A bunch of monks who should be chanting sutras are out here playing pirate. This is just ridiculous. Momousagi, let’s give them a proper greeting with a few cannonballs.”
Shin ordered.
When dealing with pirates, Momousagi naturally wouldn’t go easy on them. With a wave of her hand, a barrage of cannonballs flew towards the Fallen Monk Pirates.
——————
On the other side, aboard the Fallen Monk Pirates’ ship, the monks were in a state of panic. “Captain, you shouldn’t have provoked Shin Uzumaki! Now he’s coming for us! What do we do?” one of them cried out to Urouge.
At this point, Urouge’s crew wasn’t just panicking—they were filled with despair, ready to simply give up and wait for their deaths.
Although the Kuja Pirates were made up almost entirely of women, with Shin as their only male captain, no one underestimated them. The reason was simple: the Kuja Pirates were genuinely powerful. Even without counting Shin’s strength, they had enough firepower to stand as one of the Four Emperors.
“What’s all the panic for?”
The Mad Monk Urouge, however, showed no signs of fear. In fact, he looked thrilled.
Despite being a monk, Urouge had a combative personality. He loved to challenge powerful opponents, and he didn’t care if he was defeated or even killed in the process.
Of course, that was his mindset for now. Whether he would remain so calm and unafraid in the face of a true life-or-death crisis remained to be seen.
“Return fire.” Urouge, completely unfazed, ordered his men to shoot down the incoming cannonballs.
But the rest of his crew didn’t share his composure or his strength. They were up against one of the most powerful figures on the seas.
“LET’S FIGHT BACK.”
In the end, the monks had no other choice. They had to see this through to the bitter end. With no hope of survival, their only option was to fight the Kuja Pirates.
——————
“They think they can fight back? They’re really biting off more than they can chew.”
Hancock drew her sword, but before she could make a move, lightning descended from the sky, vaporizing the cannonballs into ash.
“Olvia, you…” Hancock glanced at Olvia. The one who had just acted was, of course, Olvia.
“It doesn’t matter who does it. Why are you so concerned, Hancock?” Olvia said with a smile.
“You’re right. It doesn’t matter who does it.”
Hancock didn’t want to argue with Olvia. It was just as she had said—they were all just small fry anyway. So Hancock decided not to act at all, leaving the stage entirely to Olvia.
“<Myriad Thunder!>”
Olvia waved her hand, and endless lightning formed a massive thundercloud. The cloud crackled with electricity, and countless bolts descended from the sky. Their target was, of course, Urouge and his crew. The combined force of the lightning was earth-shattering.
In an instant, the distant ship was blown to pieces. Everyone on board was dead, including Urouge.
That’s right—he was nothing more than cannon fodder, wiped out in a single blow by Olvia. Just as he had been one-shotted by an Admiral in the past, he was now one-shotted by Olvia.
“It’s all over,” Olvia said with a smile.
“No way. I was expecting a big fight. It’s over already?” Nami said with a disappointed expression.
“Are you missing the point? A pitifully weak crew like that—did you really think it would take a big fight?” Shin shot Nami a sidelong glance.
“Pitifully weak? Didn’t you say I couldn’t even beat him?” Nami couldn’t help but retort.
“That’s right. You’re pitifully weak too,” Shin nodded calmly, completely ignoring the look of shock on Nami’s face.
“I’m pitifully weak? When did I get labeled as pitifully weak? I DON’T ACCEPT THAT!”
Nami said to Shin, completely unconvinced.
“Oh? You don’t accept it? Then let me ask you—who on this ship can you beat?”
Shin asked with a smile.
Nami’s gaze swept across the crew, and her expression gradually stiffened. At that moment, she realized she couldn’t beat anyone.
Shirahoshi might be young, but she was the Sea King, Poseidon, capable of summoning sea kings from the depths of the ocean at will. As for Sugar, who looked even younger but was actually older, her Devil Fruit ability could instantly defeat Nami.
“We could always get the Flare-Flare Fruit for Nami,” Amatsuki Toki said, holding up a newspaper.
Shin took it and saw that Doflamingo was up to his old tricks from the original story. An auction for the Flare-Flare Fruit… should he just have Doflamingo deliver it?
If Shin ordered it, Doflamingo wouldn’t refuse.
“Do you want the Flare-Flare Fruit? If you do, I can have Doflamingo deliver it right now,” Shin said to Nami.
The Flare-Flare Fruit was a Logia-type Devil Fruit, and a pretty good one at that. If developed properly, it could even surpass the Magma-Magma Fruit.
“No, I don’t want to eat a Devil Fruit.” Nami flatly refused. Eating a Devil Fruit meant being weak to seawater.
Nami loved swimming in the ocean. She didn’t want to give up her favorite activity just for a Devil Fruit.
“Alright, if you don’t want to, then don’t.”
Shin wouldn’t force Nami. Everyone had their own choices. Devil Fruits were valuable, but not everyone wanted to eat one.
“Then let’s go. To see Whitebeard.”
Shin prepared to go see Whitebeard. If Robin’s previous guess was right, and Whitebeard was planning to go after Kaido, Shin was interested in joining in. The seas had been quiet for too long—even the New World was becoming stagnant.
Shin planned to make a move, to bring some excitement back to the dead waters of the New World. If he and Whitebeard really did make a move on Kaido, it would cause a massive shockwave across the seas, even affecting the first half of the Grand Line.
Even if that wasn’t Whitebeard’s intention, Shin was still planning to stir things up.
Shin’s Pluton set a course for Whitebeard’s territory, making no effort to hide their movements as they sailed openly.
