It wasn’t surprising that he hadn’t found out. Everyone—from the Five Elders and the Marines to other pirates—desperately wanted to know what Devil Fruit Shin had eaten.
Only the Kuja Pirates knew the truth: Shin had never eaten a Devil Fruit.
If that got out, it would probably cause a worldwide shock. The idea of Shin being so powerful without a Devil Fruit was simply unbelievable to them.
Even Blackbeard suspected that Shin had eaten more than one Devil Fruit, because Blackbeard himself knew his own body was unique.
“Is that all you’ve got?” Shin asked Redfield calmly.
“Hmph, don’t get ahead of yourself, young man.”
The Red Count snorted coldly, then swung his umbrella, creating a net of sword slashes that completely enveloped Shin.
But without exception, every attack passed through Shin, failing to cause even the slightest bit of damage.
“Kamui really is useful.”
Shin was, of course, using Obito’s Kamui. It was worth copying that ability.
It was incredibly effective. An average person couldn’t break through it. Anyone without spatial abilities was helpless against it.
“Is this a spatial ability?” Redfield asked Shin.
Space-type Devil Fruits, though incredibly rare, were not unheard of. But Redfield had never encountered an ability like Shin’s before.
“That’s right, it’s a spatial ability,” Shin said flatly. Even if you know, can you do anything about it?
Obito had been able to dominate the Naruto world with Kamui, it was a tricky ability even in the later stages of the story.
In the original story, Madara had to get his hands on Kakashi’s eye and use its Kamui to deal with Obito.
And in Shin’s hands, the power of Kamui was clearly even greater.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Shin threw a punch, blasting Redfield into a swarm of bats. The bats then re-formed into Redfield’s body.
This ability was similar to elementalization, perhaps even more advanced. Even an Armament Haki attack could likely be survived with this trick.
But it wasn’t without a cost. Redfield’s face was a shade paler, and he looked slightly older.
Using his swordsmanship again, this time Redfield coated his umbrella with Armament Haki, but he still couldn’t hit Shin.
No one could imagine the frustration Redfield felt at this moment. You can hit me, but I can’t hit you.
How could anyone not feel aggrieved? Anyone in his position would feel the same.
The Kamui ability was just that unfair. As for the weakness of being vulnerable while attacking, Shin had already improved upon it.
“Turning into bats… I wonder, if I kill all your bats, will you still be alive?”
Shin asked with a curious expression.
Redfield’s face paled even further. If even one bat survived, he wouldn’t die. But if all the bats were killed, then he would have no choice but to die.
“<Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!>”
Shin performed a jutsu he hadn’t used in a long time. It was even more exaggerated than Madara Uchiha’s version. A sea of fire instantly engulfed the Red Count.
He let out a miserable scream. Turning into bats was useless.
With this move, the bats would be burned to death the moment they appeared.
“<Blood Release!>”
The Red Count roared, his body dissolving into blood that seeped into the ground. The blood then re-formed into his body.
However, he had lost his previous elegance. His body was covered in severe burns, his figure somewhat stooped. The once-youthful Red Count had aged again, looking even older than before.
“You have quite a few life-saving tricks,”
Shin said, looking at his seemingly endless supply of escape techniques. He was almost on par with Orochimaru in that department.
“Hmph, I’ll remember this.”
The Red Count snorted coldly, then prepared to retreat. He was decisive. Realizing he was no match, he immediately prepared to flee.
However, just as he was about to leave, a pink sword aura slashed him back. It was Hancock.
“Trying to escape? I don’t think so,” Hancock said, looking at Redfield with cold eyes.
Hancock’s strength was not much different from Redfield’s. And now, Redfield was injured.
Caught off guard, he took a direct hit from Hancock’s sword, nearly getting killed on the spot.
“DAMN IT!” Redfield roared, his eyes filled with furious killing intent as he stared at Hancock.
“The one who should be damned is you.”
Shin stepped on Redfield’s head, stomping him into the ground.
Being stomped on was extremely humiliating for Redfield, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He had just witnessed Shin’s strength. He was no match. This was the first time he had encountered such a powerful being.
The most crucial thing was the strangeness of his techniques. Even when Shin stood there and let him attack, he couldn’t do anything.
“Aren’t you going to say something now? Like begging for mercy.”
Shin looked down at Redfield. The current Red Count probably didn’t have the ability to use his bat transformation to escape.
Of course, it was also possible that Redfield was just pretending, waiting for a chance to escape when Shin let his guard down.
That possibility wasn’t out of the question.
“Beg for mercy? I, the Red Count, would never beg for mercy.” Redfield stared at Shin angrily. He felt Shin was going too far.
“Alright. In that case, I’ll give you a quick death.”
A golden light shone from Shin’s hand, piercing through the void and heading for Redfield’s head.
If it hit, it would definitely put a hole in his head.
Just at that critical moment, Redfield’s body once again turned into bats.
However, the laser Shin shot out suddenly split into a hundred beams, simultaneously hitting all the bats—
“I didn’t even get a chance to act,” Hancock came over and complained to Shin.
“Isn’t it better if you don’t have to act? I wouldn’t want you to,” Shin said, stroking Hancock’s soft hair.
“I feel like a third wheel here.” Robin, seeing Shin and Hancock together, suddenly became expressionless.
Shin looked at Robin, smiled, and walked over to her. He also patted her head and asked, “Could it be that you’re jealous, Robin?”
“…” Seeing the teasing smile on Shin’s face, Robin’s expression changed slightly. Her already blushing face turned an even deeper shade of red, and she immediately turned and returned to the ship.
