To avoid future trouble with clueless challengers, Shin decided to make an example of someone.
"Thank you for your contribution. I'll grant you a spectacular death. How about it?"
Shin asked Shiki with a smile.
"Cough, cough… how do you… possess Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability?"
Shiki coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and asked Shin. If he didn't get a clear answer, he felt he couldn't die in peace.
"Not only can I possess Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power, but I can also possess your fruit's power as well."
Though Shin said this, he had no real intention of copying the Float-Float Fruit. Not that the Float-Float Fruit wasn't powerful.
In fact, this Devil Fruit was quite impressive. Flying in the sky was equivalent to being in an invincible position... After all, even the Marines' Moonwalk couldn't keep them in the air for long.
In Aerial combat, Shiki definitely had the advantage.
Unfortunately, what the Float-Float Fruit could do, Shin's repulsive force could also do—so there was no need to obtain the Float-Float Fruit.
————
"So, are you going to give up, or continue to resist and be killed by me?" Shin asked Shiki.
"JIHAHAHAHA! I am Shiki the Golden Lion!"
A man who had the audacity to challenge Marine Headquarters alone—could you expect him to give up? Absolutely not.
Shiki didn't run either. He had his pride. He would never be a deserter.
"It doesn't matter if you're the Golden Lion or the Silver Lion. If I want you dead, you will die. No one can save you."
Shin instantly appeared in front of Shiki, his fist landing directly on Shiki's face. Shiki was sent flying like a cannonball into the sea. Both his speed and power surpassed Shiki's ability to withstand.
Shiki's Observation Haki couldn't even track Shin's movements. Observation Haki wasn't Shiki's strong suit. Though considered advanced, it definitely wasn't top-tier.
The highest level of Observation Haki could predict the future—or possess various abilities like hearing the Voice of All Things and reading people's minds.
Shin's current Observation Haki could see a corner of the future, which was very useful in battle. But Shin had no use for it. With his strength, he could just push through directly.
Why bother with all these miscellaneous tricks?
————
"Knocked into the sea. He's done for."
Olvia was certain that Shiki was doomed. As a Devil Fruit user, falling into the sea was a one-way ticket to death.
"I don't want to leave him in the sea. Isn't he a Float-Float Fruit user? I'll send him to the sky, let him truly float off this planet."
Shin clasped his hands together.
"Chibaku Tensei"
A pitch-black sphere appeared in his hand, then left his hand and flew towards the sky. Endless gravitational force erupted. The black sphere attracted everything around it into the sky—the wreckage of the shattered island and the endless seawater.
Shiki, who had been knocked into the sea by Shin, was also uncontrollably pulled up by the gravity and sealed within the Chibaku Tensei.
————
After who knows how long, a giant water sphere with a diameter of a hundred kilometers floated in the air. The sea level had even dropped slightly.
Olvia and the others looked at this giant water ball with their mouths agape.
This should be considered a small planet, right?
"It seems I still underestimated your abilities, Shin," Olvia couldn't help but say.
"Alright, it's time to send Shiki to the sky."
Shin controlled the asteroid, which was almost entirely composed of seawater, and sent it flying towards space. To prevent it from being made of water and unable to fly out of this planet, Shin had completely frozen this water sphere.
Seeing Shin use the power of ice, Olvia, Robin, and Hancock weren't surprised. They thought it was a copy of Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit ability.
But in fact, this wasn't the ability of the Ice-Ice Fruit, but the power of Shin's Ice Release. But Olvia and the others didn't know.
"There will be no more Shiki, no more Golden Lion Pirates."
Shin said. And he also had to find a way to spread this news.
This was Shin's way of making an example. If the news couldn't be spread, what effect would it have?
"I shouldn't have killed all the members of the Golden Lion Pirates before. I should have left a few alive to spread this information." Shin felt a little regretful.
But there was a remedy. Using the Shadow Clone Technique, Shin created three thousand shadow clones—then had these shadow clones use the Transformation Jutsu to spread this news.
Though it felt a bit undignified for him to do it himself, it was because Shin hadn't considered it thoroughly before.
————
"You can even make clones? You have so many abilities. The copying ability is truly broken." Olvia couldn't help but call Shin a monster.
"Not just clones, but also changing appearance," Robin added.
"That's nothing. You'll know in the future that I haven't even used my truly powerful abilities yet."
Shin didn't think he had shown much of his abilities. Why were they so surprised? He didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.
Olvia and Robin were speechless, while Hancock's eyes sparkled, thinking Shin was so amazing.
Shin's move was very effective. Soon, the clones had spread the news.
————
Two days later, Shin dismissed all the shadow clones, receiving the memories of the intel they had passed on, and nodded with satisfaction.
He estimated that in less than three days, this major event would be on the front page of the newspapers.
And facts proved that Shin's guess was wrong.
After a day, the newspapers came out...
This time, Shin killing Shiki had a very strong reaction.
Right now, Shiki still had a lot of prestige. He hadn't been forgotten yet. After all, four years ago, Shiki had just escaped from Impel Down.
This was a great feat. Plus, Shiki's reputation was originally high, comparable to Whitebeard's.
Shin defeating Whitebeard and killing Shiki completely pushed his reputation to the peak.
Some of the great pirates who had been eager to act, wanting to challenge Shin and make a name for themselves by stepping on him, all backed down.
The legendary great pirate, Shiki, had been killed. If they went, wouldn't it be a one-way ticket to death?
The World Government—which had some plans against Shin—now before the plans even started, they were aborted due to a series of news.
Shin's current fame had already ignited the entire world.
