Shin didn't notice Hancock's little scheme. Even if he had, he probably wouldn't have cared.

"Do you two want to learn swordsmanship?"

Shin asked Olvia and Robin.

"I'd like to try," Robin said, raising her hand.

Olvia, however, shook her head. She knew she couldn't bite off more than she could chew.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's abilities awaited her development, and her physical training couldn't be neglected under any circumstances.

Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and the Six Powers—all required training.

She had no spare time for swordsmanship. Only after making significant progress in those areas would Olvia consider learning something else.

"Robin, I don't think you're suited for swordsmanship," Hancock said to Robin with a straight face. She wanted Shin to teach her alone. If Robin joined, Hancock wouldn't be happy.

"I haven't even started training yet. How would you know?" Robin retorted, not backing down.

"I just know. My eyes are very sharp—I can tell at a glance. Besides, don't you like reading?" Hancock said to Robin with frustration.

"I'll try first," Robin said, unwilling to back down.

"You two, don't fight," Shin said, seeing them at odds.

"Hancock, take this sword for now."

Shin handed Ame no Habakiri to Hancock.

As for Enma, Shin didn't give it to Robin. It wasn't that he didn't want to give it to Robin, but Enma's characteristic was to constantly consume Armament Haki. And Robin currently didn't have Armament Haki.

It would drain her stamina instead, and she could die from exhaustion. This was a very dangerous sword—At least for now, it wasn't suitable for Robin.

"You two can learn together. It's the same for me whether I teach one or two."

Shin had already gotten used to the role of a teacher. After all, in the Naruto world, Shin had taught Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina, and the others quite a bit.

Especially Hinata, who had been taught single-handedly by Shin.

"Oh, I see." Hancock was a little unhappy, glancing at Robin.

'Robin... we're rivals now.'

Before, Hancock had thought Robin was nice, but this time, all of Hancock's good feelings were gone.

"What a pity, the shogun's residence is gone. The treasures Orochi collected are probably all gone too."

Shin looked at Orochi's shogun residence, a hint of regret on his face. Perhaps Orochi had some good treasures—like Devil Fruits... But now the shogun's residence was leveled—even if there were treasures, they couldn't be found.

"Let's leave Wano."

Shin had originally planned to leave Wano long ago. If not for Orochi's men—he wouldn't have come here to deal with Orochi.

It could be said that Orochi was quite unlucky, completely screwed over by his own subordinates. Of course, Orochi himself was no good either.

Killing him could be considered eliminating a threat to the people. The people of Wano should be grateful to him.

————

"By the way, I almost forgot something."

Shin smacked his forehead. He had originally wanted to use Edo Tensei to revive Kozuki Oden and meet him.

Shin casually found one of Orochi's men and grabbed him.

"After Kozuki Oden was executed, where was his body placed?" Shin asked the subordinate of Orochi.

"G-gone… The shogun had him reduced to ashes. Not even ashes were left."

This subordinate of Orochi stammered, terrified.

Shin waved his hand, letting the man go.

"Looks like my plan fell through."

Shin shook his head slightly. He hadn't expected Orochi to be so ruthless, not even sparing Kozuki Oden's body after his death.

"Shin, aren't you planning to teach Hancock and Robin swordsmanship? You can stay in Wano for a while. Learning swordsmanship here should be fast." Olvia said to Shin.

This place was full of samurai. There were many swordsmen in Wano. Perhaps they couldn't find a Great Swordsman now, but finding a master swordsman should be no problem.

To learn swordsmanship—one needed to fight and hone their skills against opponents to become stronger.

————

"You have a point. In that case, let's stay in Wano for a while."

Shin, who had originally planned to leave, changed his mind again, preparing to stay in Wano for some time.

Olvia smiled upon hearing Shin agree. She had a reason for asking Shin to stay in Wano—Shin was currently in the eye of the storm.

Olvia felt it was better to lie low for a while. Being in the eye of the storm on the sea was not a good thing.

Pirates would want to defeat Shin to make a name for themselves. The Marines' hatred for Shin was even greater. So, there would be a lot of trouble. Though Shin's strength was great, she was afraid of them being ganged up on.

And behind the Marines, there was still the World Government.

They needed to lie low for a while.

Olvia was worried she couldn't persuade Shin. Fortunately, a reason came up.

————

Since they planned to stay in Wano, they naturally had to find a place to live.

This was simple. Shin's Wood Release could create a house with ease. With a wave of his hand, he could create a house, and a very exquisite one at that.

Not in the city, Shin chose a relatively quiet place. Learning swordsmanship couldn't be done in a very noisy place.

"Let's start with swinging the sword, training slowly. Let me tell you first, learning swordsmanship is very hard—" Shin gave Hancock and Robin a heads-up.

And training in swordsmanship was not just hard. If it were just hard work—then too many people could do it.

But the most important thing in swordsmanship was talent. If your talent wasn't good enough, then everything was a waste.

So, Shin also had to check Hancock and Robin's talent in swordsmanship.

If their talent wasn't good—then it was better not to continue practicing swordsmanship. Because they wouldn't achieve much, just a waste of time.
