Naruto: Copy System - [535] : Why Waste a High-Level Fighter?

“So, Captain, what’s my first assignment?”

Momousagi asked Shin.

Joining the Kuja Pirates, Momousagi was at a loss. She knew nothing about being a pirate.

“For now, there’s nothing for you to do. But if you have any skills besides fighting, feel free to mention them.”

Shin glanced over at Momousagi. He had no immediate use for her, but her sudden appearance on his ship raised questions—was she here as an undercover agent?

Unaware that Shin had already seen through her identity, Momousagi stood there awkwardly, unsure of what to do.

“Robin, why don’t you find her a place to stay?” Olvia said to Robin.

Robin put down the book in her hand, looked at Momousagi, and smiled slightly. “Come with me.”

Momousagi followed Robin to the ship’s cabin, where she was assigned a room.

After Momousagi left, Olvia’s expression turned serious.

“Shin, I think there’s something wrong with that woman.”

“Oh? How did you figure that out?” Shin looked at Olvia with surprise.

“Just a feeling. Do you also think there’s something wrong with her?” Olvia asked, equally surprised. Her intuition told her that Momousagi was trouble.

“Intuition, huh? Seems your intuition is quite sharp. You’re absolutely right about her. Momousagi’s a Marine Vice Admiral. Her presence on this ship—it’s no coincidence. She’s almost certainly here as an undercover agent.”

Shin confirmed Olvia’s suspicions.

“SHE’S AN UNDERCOVER AGENT?”

Hancock’s face turned cold. She couldn’t believe she had brought a spy onto their ship. Hancock felt a surge of anger and embarrassment.

No… she had to go and deal with that undercover agent now!

————

“I’ll go deal with her.” Hancock was about to act, but Shin stopped her.

As Shin grabbed her, Hancock “Accidentally” fell into his arms.

“Oh, Shin, what are you doing? This is so embarrassing,” Hancock said, her face flushing as she nuzzled against him.

“…” Amatsuki Toki, standing behind them, felt her mouth twitch. Were all women of this era like this? Throwing themselves at men.

Shin’s mouth twitched. He gently stroked Hancock’s soft hair.

“Don’t kill her yet. A high-level fighter just walked right into our hands. Why waste that?” If Shin had wanted to kill Momousagi, he wouldn’t have let her join in the first place.

“Are you sure it’s not because she’s beautiful?” Hancock thought of Momousagi’s long legs and pretty face and looked at Shin with suspicion.

“Ahem, of course not.” Shin quickly denied it.

Yeah right, like he’d say that out loud. Shin could admit to himself he found her attractive. He wasn’t a creep or anything—Momousagi just has an amazing body.

————

“I KNEW IT.”

Hancock snuggled deeper into Shin’s embrace, like a contented kitten. But even in that adorable state, Hancock was breathtakingly beautiful.

“Are you really going to let her go? She’s an undercover agent,” Amatsuki Toki couldn’t help but say.

“I think you should really consider this carefully, Shin… And can she overhear our conversation?” Olvia said. Don’t forget, this world has Observation Haki. If she used it from a distance, she could hear them.

“She wouldn’t dare to use Observation Haki so carelessly. It’d blow her cover in an instant.” Shin said with a faint smile.

“Keeping her is a good idea. She’s a strong fighter, no weaker than Hancock,” Shin said.

With Momousagi and Amatsuki Toki, the strength of their Kuja Pirates had increased by more than a notch. Amatsuki Toki wasn’t a weak woman either. She also possessed considerable strength, comparable to the current Robin.

“Alright. You’re the captain. You decide.” Olvia didn’t say anything more. Shin was the captain.

“I’ll keep an eye on her—” Hancock said.

From now on, she would watch her. She wouldn’t let her do anything. Hancock was confident about that.

“We’re about to reach the Twin Capes. Should we stop?” Olvia asked Shin.

“No need to stop. If we’re late, we won’t get the Op-Op Fruit.”

Shin was too focused on the Op-Op Fruit to even think about seeing Laboon. First priority was getting that fruit—everything else could wait. Any delay meant Law might beat him to it.

Trafalgar Law’s life or death was irrelevant to Shin. The only thing that mattered was claiming the Op-Op Fruit. With that power, he could create an unstoppable subordinate. Top-tier Devil Fruits didn’t mess around.

Of course, you didn’t need a Devil Fruit to become a powerhouse. Take Silvers Rayleigh and Red-Haired Shanks—neither had eaten a Devil Fruit, yet they were powerhouses on the seas.

As for the Pirate King, Roger—it was unclear if he had eaten a Devil Fruit.

————

Reverse Mountain was a very peculiar place.

Water flowed in from four directions and out from one. Four rivers flowed in from the Four Seas, and then flowed out into the Grand Line from one exit.

From Reverse Mountain, you could see the strange sight of water flowing upwards. Perhaps it was due to the magnetic field. The One Piece world had many strange sights.

Shin and his group had to go against the current to head to the North Blue.

Then, halfway up, the ship began to struggle, unable to move forward. The speed was very slow, and it was slowly sailing upwards against the current.

“Let’s just fly. This is too slow.”

Shin used repulsive force to make the Kuja Pirates’ ship fly. The giant ship flying up… some passing pirates were terrified.

“Are you a Float-Float Fruit user?” Amatsuki Toki couldn’t help but ask Shin.

Amatsuki Toki also knew a lot. According to her knowledge, only the Float-Float Fruit could do this.

“I already killed the Float-Float Fruit user. It’d be nice to track down the fruit itself, though.”

Shin wasn’t particularly impressed with the Float-Float Fruit—its abilities overlapped too much with his own. Anything the Float-Float Fruit could accomplish, Shin could do better using the repulsive force of his Nine-Tomoe Rinne-Tenseigan.

But if Shin found it, he could use it to strengthen the Kuja Pirates—adding another powerhouse to the crew. As their captain, he naturally wanted to boost the crew’s overall strength.

After all, the captain couldn’t always be the one leading the charge. Otherwise, what was the point of having a crew??

————

“The Float-Float Fruit user was killed by you?” Amatsuki Toki looked at Shin in astonishment.

“By the way, should I kill you and see if I can get the Time-Time Fruit to drop?” Shin asked Amatsuki Toki with a grin.

Toki Amatsuki immediately took several steps back upon hearing this, looking at Shin with vigilance, a hint of defensiveness in her eyes.

“…”

“I was just kidding around. Why so tense? I generally don’t hit women.” Shin said with a shrug.

Hearing Shin’s words, Amatsuki Toki relaxed slightly—but she still kept her guard up, deliberately maintaining some distance from him.
