"If you don't want to go, you can stay here. But when we get the treasure, you won't get a share."

Shin said to Nami.

Nami's expression changed instantly. "Who said I don't want to go? I'm not scared at all! With you here, Shin, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Besides, no amount of danger can shake my resolve!" Nami declared, her expression one of someone prepared to face death.

"You don't have to be so dramatic. There's no real danger," Shin said to Nami.

This time, there really was no danger. Any threat that arose, Shin could absolutely handle.

"You're right. With you, what do I have to be afraid of?" Nami's courage returned, and she felt invincible.

After all, she wouldn't have to fight. She could just stay on the sidelines. The others would handle everything.

"Alright, enough talk. Full speed ahead." Shin took control of Pluton, sending it soaring into the sky toward Mary Geoise.

In an instant, Pluton became a streak of light, racing toward its destination.

"I think I'm getting airsick... Isn't this a little too fast?"

Nami couldn't help but say. However, she was the only one who felt any discomfort. The others were completely fine.

"It's because your constitution is too weak. If you were stronger, you wouldn't feel this way," Shin said to Nami.

"Really? Is my constitution even weaker than Shirahoshi's? Or Vivi's? Even if I can't compare to Shirahoshi, I should be stronger than Vivi."

Nami thought of Shirahoshi's identity as the ancient weapon Poseidon, then turned her gaze to Vivi. Vivi's strength was far below hers now. If anyone on the ship was the weakest, it was definitely Vivi, but she looked completely fine.

"Actually... I'm about to pass out." Vivi turned to look at Nami, then dramatically collapsed onto the deck.

Just as Vivi was about to fall, Shin caught her and slowed the ship's speed. 'It's perfectly stable, yet you still feel dizzy.'

Shin shook his head, not knowing what to say. After he slowed down, Nami felt much better.

"Why were we going so fast? Were you trying for a surprise attack?" Nami asked Shin, her face pale.

Shin raised his hand and flicked her on the head.

"What are you thinking? If I wanted to launch a surprise attack, I wouldn't have spread the news in the first place."

"Just because you have a point doesn't mean you can hit me!" Nami glared at Shin, fuming.

"Because I think you're a little dumb, so I'm trying to knock some sense into you."

Shin wore an expression that said—'You should be thanking me'—which only made Nami even more furious.

"The only reason I'm 'dumb' is because you keep hitting me!" Nami shouted angrily at Shin.

Shin chuckled, and Hancock and the others couldn't help but laugh as well.

"Nami, does that mean you're admitting you're dumb? I've never met anyone who admits they're dumb. You're the first,"

Hancock said, laughing.

Nami froze for a moment, then realized she had been tricked. Was she really that dumb?

"Stop teasing Nami. Can't you see she's already been teased into a stupor?" Robin said, though her face was full of smiles, a look of someone enjoying the show.

"You're all ganging up on me! I shouldn't have joined you. Now you're all picking on me."

Nami wore a wronged expression. Seeing her so upset, Shin didn't have the heart to tease her anymore.

"Alright, I was just joking with you. I won't say anything more, okay?" Shin said to Nami with a light chuckle.

Not long after, Pluton arrived at Mary Geoise. Shin looked at the Holy Land, contemplating whether he should open with a cannon blast.

"Kalifa, you take control of Pluton. Keep it floating in the air," Shin said to Kalifa.

Kalifa possessed the Float-Float Fruit ability, which was perfect for this situation, allowing Pluton to remain airborne.

Shin then had Olvia and the others stay on the ship, descending alone to set foot on the soil of Mary Geoise.

"This is my first time in Mary Geoise," Shin said, looking at the buildings in the distance. The architecture here was truly luxurious.

Compared to other places, Mary Geoise was on another level of opulence, with countless castles.

"What a shame a place like this is wasted on the Celestial Dragons."

Shin shook his head slightly. No, it was precisely because this was the land of the Celestial Dragons that it was built to be so extravagant.

"But soon, this place will be reduced to ruins. Right, Five Elders?"

Shin's gaze fell on the Five Elders. At this moment, their expressions were extremely grave as they stared back at him, Saint Topman Warcury's face filled with rage.

"Shin Uzumaki, you actually have the nerve to attack the Holy Land of Mary Geoise." Saint Topman Warcury stared at Shin angrily.

"Oh? And what gave you the idea I wouldn't?" Shin asked, looking at the bald, bearded man.

——————

"What do we do...? Our defenses aren't fully in place yet. I didn't expect Shin Uzumaki to be this fast," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said to the others.

They really hadn't anticipated his speed. According to their intelligence, Shin Uzumaki was still in his own territory.

Yet in less than half a day, Shin Uzumaki and his ship had arrived at Mary Geoise.

"I thought you wanted a fight. What's with the cold feet?"

Shin asked, looking at the motionless Five Elders. He then added with a faint smile, "Don't tell me you're stalling for time?"

The Marines hadn't arrived yet, so Shin assumed the Five Elders were trying to buy time.

He was right. The Five Elders were indeed trying to stall.

They weren't confident, so they planned to wait until all their forces had gathered before dealing with Shin. But that was all contingent on Shin giving them that time.
