On the streets of Gran Tesoro.
The sounds of intense fighting continued to resound.
"Rankyaku!"
As a member of CP9, no, now a member of CP0, Kalifa, her long-boot-clad legs adorned with stockings, swept sideways in a kick.
A crescent-shaped, azure-blue blade cut a gash into the street floor, shooting straight towards Rin.
"Rin! Do your best!"
Shirahoshi, standing by the roadside, clasped her hands near her mouth, cheering as part of the cheer squad.
Facing the incoming Rankyaku, Rin's hands also emitted a blue light, instantly transforming into blade-like shapes, and then she charged forward towards the Rankyaku.
That was the Chakra Scalpel!
...
On the other side of the street.
Kaku, also a member of CP0, had transformed into his giraffe form.
His elongated neck suddenly stretched out, his square-shaped neck slamming heavily into Kurenai like a billiard cue.
Seeing this, Kurenai crossed her arms in front of her, trying to block.
But she was sent flying in an instant!
They were completely not on the same level.
If this were a fight to the death, Kurenai would have already been killed by this move.
However...
"Take it easy, you ugly giraffe! You idiot, you bastard!"
Gyuki's massive fist descended from behind and above, smashing into Kaku's back.
Crack~
The faint sound of breaking bones could be heard.
Kaku knelt on one knee, feeling a sweet taste in his throat, then coughed up a mouthful of blood.
That's right, the three little girls currently indeed lacked the ability to fight CP0's members head-on.
If it were a true life-or-death battle, they would definitely die.
But they had bodyguards watching from the side.
Whenever Gyuki sensed that these Zoan ability users' attacks posed a life-threatening risk to the girls, it would immediately give them an elbow strike.
Among the three girls, the only one who could fight on equal footing with the opponents was Konan, who had just eaten the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi.
"Venomous Dance!"
Even without using Dance of Shikigami, the now older-loli Konan could float in mid-air.
This big loli with a cold expression slightly raised her hand.
Boom-
A Marine battleship capable of holding a thousand people rose abruptly from behind Konan.
It crashed down towards Rob Lucci and the others like a meteor from the sky.
"That's... Golden Lion's!?"
Nami, standing on the other side, acting as a cheerleader, had her expression changed drastically.
How could she forget this move?
That was Shiki's technique!
The battle against this former legendary pirate back then was definitely the time the Straw Hat Crew came closest to death.
Back then, after defeating Moria, they encountered Shiki on their way to Sabaody Archipelago.
Thinking about it, the situation then was quite similar to now.
Shiki wanted to kidnap her to be his navigator, exactly the same thing Jin was doing now.
Even now, Nami found it incredible.
How did Luffy manage to defeat a great pirate on par with Roger, but then they got brutally beaten by Kizaru on Sabaody Archipelago?
It was really confusing.
Jin felt it was normal.
Movie-version Luffy was invincible.
Not to mention Shiki, even if Broly came, he'd get slapped twice.
"Rokushiki Secret Technique: Rokuogan!!!"
Lucci, in his leopard-man state, leaped into the air.
His arms spread wide, clenched into fists, erupting with tremendous impact force, shattering the descending battleship into two halves.
"That leopard guy really is stronger than before, no wonder she got promoted from CP9 to CP0."
Nami muttered in a low voice.
"Haah~"
Gyuki, acting as a teaching assistant, yawned and said to himself:
"I wonder how long Jin will take. If these guys run away, should I chase them or not?"
Hearing Gyuki' complaint, Nami's eyes filled with strong resentment as she looked towards a luxurious, gilded hotel diagonally across the street.
An hour ago, Jin had taken Hancock inside and left a message for the CP0 group:
"I'll probably be busy for five or six hours. If you can escape during this time, consider it your skill."
That's why the CP0's members were all so pumped up now.
After all, once Jin finished 'being busy', they would truly be doomed.
However, escaping wasn't that simple either.
Gyuki was watching from the side!
Moreover, although Rin and Kurenai were a bit of a drag in the fight, there was the one big loli that the CP0's members absolutely dared not underestimate!
"Paper Person of God Technique!"
Konan still brought out her signature Paper Release Ninjutsu.
As if awakening a Paramecia-type ability, the high-rise buildings on both sides of the street disintegrated the moment she raised her hand-
Turning into countless pieces of shredded paper, beginning to float around the bodies of the CP0 members.
And these paper pieces clearly had a word written on them-
Explode!
That's right, this was the technique Konan used against Obito in the original work later on.
Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as 600 billion explosive tags.
But with the enhancement of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi's ability, even if slightly inferior, it wasn't far off.
…
In the high-end hotel diagonally across from the street where Konan and the other two were fighting.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
The deafening continuous explosion sounds from outside the window.
It utterly destroyed the amorous atmosphere that had just been building inside the room.
Jin's face darkened.
He suspected Konan was doing it on purpose.
After all, her expression was very sour when she made the blood-replenishing soup for Nami earlier.
Looking at Hancock sitting beside him, her small hands fidgeting nervously, Jin reached out and picked her up in a princess carry.
Amidst Hancock's surprised cry, he leaped down from the window, flying towards Thousand Sunny docked in the harbor area.
...
In Luffy's room.
Jin himself didn't know why, but he really liked this room.
Especially for doing things that couldn't be described in too much detail here.
The only regret was that there were no photos of Luffy here.
Otherwise, he could have Nami and Hancock look at the photo while saying things like 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Luffy, but, but he's just so good~' or similar lines.
Jin originally said it would take five or six hours.
But he spent the entire day on Sunny without coming down.
Mainly because this woman, Hancock, had allowed Jin to taste a brand new version he had never experienced before-
Real older woman action.
That's right, although all the women Jin had played cards with so far were older than him-
Whether it was Tsunade or Nami-
Or even Viola, with whom he had only one experience-
Their heights were actually about the same as his-
Or even shorter.
But Hancock was a full 191 cm tall.
Nearly a head taller than Jin, who was still two months shy of turning 15.
Because of this, when galloping across the battlefield with her, there was a special sense of conquest.
Everyone understands, right?
...
Early next morning.
After adding the final stroke to the third [Just] character, Jin, rubbing his lower back, walked out of the room.
'Ouch, later I need to ask Konan to make me some medicinal food to replenish myself.'
"It seems it's really serious this time… almost drained you dry?"
A mocking voice tinged with a bit of resentment came from behind.
Jin didn't need to look back to know who it was.
After all, he had only said this line to one person.
"Oh, if it isn't my little cutie Nami-chan? When did you get back?"
Jin shamelessly took Nami's small hand.
"I came back even earlier than you, but someone was focusing all their energy on the Pirate Empress and didn't notice an ugly girl like me."
Nami sneered repeatedly.
Hearing this, Jin's face showed not embarrassment, but a strange smile.
"That's really odd. Since you came back before me, why didn't you just set sail and leave? Before I brought Hancock back, you were the only one on this ship, weren't you?"
Nami's expression changed slightly. After a few seconds, she forced a cold attitude and said:
"You, you think I didn't want to? It's because I don't know where Luffy and the others are. Even if I escaped, I wouldn't know where to go."
"Tsunderes are outdated now, direct honesty is king. Tell the truth, Nami."
Jin looked directly into her eyes, smiling:
"You like me, don't you?"
"Impossible!"
Nami reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
But the more agitated she was, the more it showed her guilt.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say."
Jin shrugged, not forcing Nami to admit anything.
But in his heart, he was looking forward even more to the future scene when Nami reunited with the Straw Hat crew.
Just then, a row of News Coos flew over their heads, dropping several newspapers.
'Free distribution again!'
But compared to last time when she had just been kidnapped by Jin, Nami was much calmer this time.
No need to think… it must be reporting on the deeds of the sadistic young man beside her.
'Sure enough!'
[The Fifth Emperor Officially Ascends! Treats Celestial Dragons and Marine Admirals as Mere Weeds! Pirate Empress and Cat Burglar Abandon World Government and Straw Hat Pirates to Submit to New Master!
However, when she saw the headline, Nami couldn't stay calm anymore.
Because the report categorized her and Hancock as subordinates of Jin.
'Wait a minute!'
'That woman Hancock had most likely truly shifted her affections!'
'But I was forced!'
Nami really wanted to shout towards the sea, "Wronged! I've been wronged!"
However, the few bounty posters that fell out from between the newspaper pages pushed Nami completely into the abyss.
[Paper Angel] Konan, new bounty: 233,000,000 Berries!
[Pirate Empress] Boa Hancock, new bounty: 1,659,000,000 Berries!
And Nami herself.
[Cat Burglar] Nami, new bounty: 116,000,000 Berries!
'Oh, not bad.'
'Even higher than after the Dressrosa Arc in the original story.'
'Directly breaking 100 million.'
But Jin didn't find it surprising.
After all, the impact of this incident was much more exaggerated than Doflamingo's downfall in the original work.
Just the people who died included one Celestial Dragon and one Admiral-
Not to mention the group of CP0 members currently being used as punching bags inside.
"I've been wronged... I've been wronged... Robin... Luffy... Chopper... I really was wronged..."
Nami knelt on the ground, holding her bounty poster that looked as glamorous and alluring as a photo collection, muttering to herself through tears.
Jin covered his mouth, indicating he wouldn't laugh, unless he couldn't help it.
Then, amidst Nami's cries, he picked her up...
Don't misunderstand, he didn't do anything else.
Just held her in his arms and comforted her softly.
Things like 'It's okay, you can explain it clearly later', 'Aren't you comrades who journey together? Don't worry, they won't think too much about it', 'True feelings fear no trials, and you really haven't betrayed them, you're just dating me' blah blah blah...
…
On the other hand, at the Revolutionary Army's headquarters, Baltigo.
The hand holding the new bounty poster with the photo of the long-haired Nami shook violently, as if suffering from Parkinson's disease.
