"Heh, you don't like my face?"

Shin let out a cold laugh. Plenty of people didn't like his face. Who the hell did this guy think he was?

In truth, quite a few people held a grudge against Shin, especially those who had been locked away for a long ti. The escapees from Impel Down, for instance, were never fully convinced of his strength.

"System, copy his More-More Fruit ability." Shin commanded silently.

"[Consuming one Divine Replication Card. More-More Fruit successfully copied.]"

The cold, chanical voice of the System, one Shin hadn't heard in a long ti, echoed in his mind. He felt a new power surge within him—the ability of the More-More Fruit.

""

Byrnndi World drew a pistol, aid it at Shin, and his eyes filled with killing intent. He fired. The bullet, magnified a hundred tis in size and speed, shot forward with enough force to obliterate a ship.

"Insolent!"

Hancock shouted, and with a single slash, she split the massive bullet in two.

Byrnndi World was taken aback. While it wasn't his strongest move, it was more than enough to handle your average pirate.

"Not bad. Let return the favor."

A pistol appeared in Shin's hand. To be honest, the guns in this world were nothing special, and he rarely used them. But now, he wanted to see what they could do with the power of the More-More Fruit.

""

BANG!

A massive bullet shot out, tearing through the air at incredible speed. It was only in the final monts before impact that Byrnndi World snapped out of his shock and dodged the attack, his eyes now fixed on Shin with a mix of horror and caution.

"How can you use the More-More Fruit's ability?" Byrnndi World demanded.

"Do I really need to answer that?" Shin asked calmly.

Byrnndi World's expression soured. His own Devil Fruit ability was now being used by his opponent.

What was going on? Could there be two More-More Fruits??

""

Byrnndi World gripped a large sword and swung it down at Shin. As it descended, the blade grew to a colossal size, stretching hundreds of ters. He was panting slightly, clearly winded from the effort. The biggest drawback of the More-More Fruit was its massive stamina consumption.

Even Hancock's expression turned grim. She could feel the imnse threat from that attack. It seed the powerhouses of the older generation were not to be underestimated. This Byrnndi World was a pri example—his strength was undoubtedly top-tier, even in the New World.

He was soone the Marines took seriously. There was no way he'd be weak.

""

Shin, however, was unfazed. He simply raised his hand, and Byrnndi World's attack was stopped in its tracks. The massive blade hung in the air, unable to move an inch, no matter how much force he put behind it.

"An attack like this is too weak," Shin said calmly.

"Impossible!" Byrnndi World's eyes went wide with shock, his mustache twitching uncontrollably. His slashes could normally split a ship clean in half, yet Shin had stopped it with so invisible barrier.

"In this world, nothing is impossible."

Shin smiled faintly, then rcilessly counterattacked. He appeared in front of Byrnndi World in an instant—so fast that even Byrnndi World had no idea how he had moved.

BOOM!

His fist slamd into Byrnndi World's face. The man was knocked out cold, collapsing to the deck, motionless.

As for his crew, they were too terrified to even move. These were n Byrnndi World had recruited from the first half of the Grand Line—weak-willed and prone to bullying the weak while fearing the strong. Faced with Shin, they didn't dare lift a finger.

"What should I do with this guy?" Shin ignored the small fry and looked down at the unconscious Byrnndi World.

Kill him? He had co looking for a fight, but he hadn't really done anything. Killing him seed a bit extre.

"Shin, what are you going to do with him?" Robin asked, coming to his side.

"Hmm, on second thought, I might as well just toss him into the sea."

Shin looked at Byrnndi World, who lay on the ground like a stray dog. Whether he drowned or not was none of his concern. Not killing him outright was already an act of rcy—or perhaps not. For a Devil Fruit user, being thrown into the sea was a death sentence.

Without another thought, Shin tossed Byrnndi World overboard. He sank into the depths in an instant.

"He'll probably die," Robin comnted, glancing at the water.

"Probably? He's definitely dead. Bad luck for him." Shin shook his head slightly.

Just then, a patch of red stained the water's surface—Byrnndi World's blood. After being thrown into the sea, he'd had the misfortune of running into a Sea Beast, which had promptly devoured him.

"You can all get lost now." Shin said, glancing at the n on the ship. In the next mont, their vessel disintegrated, collapsing into the sea.

Hundreds of n were thrown into the water.

"Oh, and a heads-up—there are plenty of Sea Beasts around here. Your captain just got eaten. If you don't swim fast, you'll be next."

Shin's calm words sent a chill through their hearts. Without a mont's hesitation, they began to swim for their lives, their panic unlocking a surprising burst of speed. Even Shin was a bit surprised by how fast they were moving.

"It's true what they say—nothing brings out your potential like a brush with death."

It seed the old saying was right. Not that Shin had ever experienced it himself—he'd never been in a true life-or-death situation, so he had no idea if it really worked.

"A bunch of unlucky fools. But they brought this on themselves. If they hadn't followed Byrnndi World, they wouldn't have died. Just more greedy souls on this sea." Robin had no sympathy for them.

The pirates on the sea were almost all villains, committing all sorts of atrocities. Most of them were after money, and there was no shortage of pirates who would pillage a village for a quick score.
