On the beach of Amazon Lily, there was a nice sandy area. At this moment, Shin was lying on the beach, leisurely sunbathing.
Not far away, Hancock, Robin, Olvia, and the others were training hard.
Hancock let out a breath but didn't give up. Even Robin hadn't given up; of course, she couldn't.
"Robin, take a break."
Shin called out to Robin.
Robin stopped, wiped her sweat, then looked at Shin with confusion.
"Your physique is weak. It's not suitable for high-intensity training for now," Shin said seriously to Robin. Though Robin and Hancock were about the same age, unlike Hancock, Robin had been somewhat malnourished before. Now her body couldn't support high-intensity exercise.
Robin nodded, then came to Shin's side, drank some water, eased her fatigue, and sat down beside Shin, taking out a book to read.
"You like reading a lot, Robin."
Shin asked Robin with a smile.
"Yes. In the past, my only form of entertainment was reading." Robin closed the book and nodded, a hint of sadness on her face as she remembered the past.
Ohara had been destroyed. Professor Clover and the others had all died in Ohara.
Looking at the sad Robin, Shin shook his head slightly and ruffled her soft hair. Perhaps because Shin's head-pat had some magical power, Robin gradually didn't feel sad anymore, her face even showing a hint of comfort.
"Shin-nii, where is your hometown?"
Robin looked up and asked Shin curiously.
From Hancock, Robin already knew that Shin wasn't from Amazon Lily. After all, Amazon Lily only had women.
"I'd like to know too." Hancock suddenly pounced on Shin, nuzzling against him.
"Hancock, your sweat is getting all over me." Shin pinched Hancock's cheek, annoyed.
"Hee hee, I didn't do it on purpose. If Shin-nii has a problem with it, we can take a bath together later."
Shin looked at Hancock's sparkling eyes with a black line on his forehead, then noticed that even Olvia had come over.
"Do you also want to know where I come from?" Shin looked up and asked Olvia.
"Yes, I do want to know."
Olvia nodded. After spending this period of time together and seeing the various abilities Shin displayed, Olvia believed Shin wasn't a Devil Fruit user.
So Olvia became even more curious about Shin, wondering about his origins, where he came from.
"I come from a very distant place, so far away that you can't go there, and I can't go back." Shin said to them.
He wasn't lying to them. In his past life, he came from Earth—and in this life, he had traveled here from the Naruto world. He still had a chance to go back to the Naruto world—but he didn't know if he could ever go back to Earth...
"Then, Shin-nii, aren't you homeless? So pitiful." Hancock looked at Shin with sympathy.
"From now on, Amazon Lily is Shin-nii's home."
Shin smiled upon hearing Hancock's words.
Olvia was thoughtful, but in the end, she still shook her head. Shin didn't look like he was lying.
"Alright, you two, don't slack off. Go train quickly. You know that in this sea, and even in any world, strength is the most important thing." Shin urged them to practice.
Right now, they couldn't practice Armament Haki and Observation Haki. They had to improve their physiques first. While anyone could train Armament Haki and Observation Haki, there were requirements for real training.
First, one's physique had to be strong enough. This was the case for Armament Haki. It relied on one's own body, slowly mastering that power through training.
However, Observation Haki had a chance to awaken from a young age. Some people with exceptional talent might have mastered Observation Haki from birth.
But such people were few and far between, almost non-existent.
Shin had Hancock not practice her fruit ability, but purely train her physique. In Naruto, chakra was essential, while in One Piece—it was stamina.
Using a fruit ability also consumed stamina.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed.
Hancock was now twelve years old. And because of training and improving her strength, she had grown much taller and had blossomed into a graceful young woman.
Robin was the same. The current Robin wasn't as malnourished as before. Olvia hadn't changed much. If there was a change, it was Olvia's strength.
Before, she was at most a history scholar with a flintlock. Now, she was strong—probably at the level of a Marine Headquarters Captain. That was just a rough guess.
But Olvia's strength had improved smoothly, which also showed she had really worked hard.
Although Hancock was young, her strength was no less than Olvia's. And with the power of the Love-Love Fruit, her strength was even above Olvia's.
Robin's strength was a bit weaker than Olvia's, but with the Flower-Flower Fruit, she could also be unpredictable.
"We've stayed on the island long enough. Let's go out to sea," Shin said.
"Shin-nii, are we leaving Amazon Lily?" Hancock's eyes sparkled.
Shin nodded. Elder Nyon had informed him earlier that the large ship they were building was completed. Though not the best, it wasn't bad either.
Two years ago, Shin had asked Elder Nyon to help him build a ship. It was only completed now.
The speed was quite slow. But this was a great effort from Elder Nyon. Building this ship had cost a lot of money. Fortunately, Shin had reimbursed her.
"Is it really okay for us to go out?" Olvia couldn't help but ask.
"What could be the problem? Do you want to hide here for the rest of your life?" Shin looked at Olvia.
"I'm not afraid, but I'm worried about Robin." Olvia looked at Robin. She wasn't worried about herself, but Olvia was worried about Robin.
"You don't need to worry. I will protect you. But the matter of sailing the ship will be up to you." Shin planned to let Olvia be the navigator. Who else here knew how to sail?
Of course, there was another reason. Olvia was very familiar with the terrain of the sea. To find the Poneglyphs, where hadn't Olvia been?
She had even been to the New World. It was unknown how some weak scholars like them navigated in the dangerous environment of the New World.
But from this aspect, it also proved Olvia's ability.
