Chapter 89 - Hmm?

"You wonder how to go to the New World?" 

"Yes." 

There were two ways to enter the New World from their position, the first half of the Grand Line. 

The first method involved gaining permission from the World Government to pass through the holy land of Mary Geoise, although this route meant that a crew would have to leave their ship behind and acquire a new one on the other side.

However, this wasn't a problem for Shinra, who could put his ship in his storage seal. 

"The problem is, do you think it is possible for us to gain the permission from the World Government?" 

Robin's eyes twitched uncontrollably since, as the only one who could read the Poneglyph, she was wanted by the World Government, and she would definitely be killed if she dared to go to the headquarters of the World Government. 

"Then, is it only the second method?" 

The second method was to submerge to Fish-Man Island, by using their ship. 

While it sounded impossible since his ship was a sail type and wasn't a submarine, in this world, a technology known as a coating existed, which was a special process in which a ship is coated with special resin from the Yarukiman Mangroves, enabling it to sail underwater and survive the crushing depths of the ocean such as at the bottom of the Red Line, where the Fish-Man Island was located. 

Yet, frankly, compared to the first method, Shinra felt there was a huge danger in the second method since while he could disguise himself as a Marine or staff of the World Government, then slip into Mary Geoise, then pass to the New World, the second method would expose him to the bottom of the ocean where many sea monsters with a size of a giant that reached easily of hundreds of meters. 

More importantly, it was hard to believe in the skill of those coaters since a certain trust was needed between him and the coaters since his life and death were in the hands of the coaters. 

While Shinra believed that he could somehow drill himself into the Red Line to escape death, he was afraid that Robin would die, as the pressure of the deep sea definitely wasn't a joke. 

Also, unlike him, who had no weakness from the Devil Fruit's ability, Robin was full of weaknesses.

"I understand your concern, but do you have 100% confidence that we can pass the Mary Geoise?" 

Robin would be lying if she weren't worried, but she felt the danger posed by the World Government was higher since many powerful men existed. As she was with him, she naturally knew the existence of the special power, and among them, some people had the power to detect Shinra's disguise. 

"I do." 

"....." Robin. 

"But you are right." Shinra nodded, understanding Robin's fear. "While I can pass the first method, you might not be able to." 

His transformation jutsu was good, and as long as he became one of the low-level soldiers, everything would be okay, but it might be a little troublesome for Robin since she couldn't use the transformation jutsu, and even with a make-up skill, everything was limited. 

"But all the scholars have mostly died, leaving only the idiot one, so even if we dress up like a small soldier, everything will be okay?" 

"......." 

Robin wanted to argue, but she couldn't since she knew well that most of the smart people had died in her island, Ohara, all of the people had died, being bombarded with cannons by the World Government, so naturally due to this experience, her fear toward the World Government was higher than anyone, which unlike Shinra, who didn't care much about the strongest organization in the world. 

"That said, since there is a chance we might be discovered, it is better to think of another method." 

"Another method?" Robin was confused and asked, "Is there another method?" 

"Let me try first, but if it isn't possible, then let's try the second method. I am quite curious about Fish-Man Island." 

As expected, as a man, it was impossible for Shinra not to be curious about the mermaids, and at the same time, he knew that the Poneglyphs also existed on that island, so it might be good if they could go to that place. 

"...did you think something weird?" 

"Yes." 

"...." 

Robin stared at Shinra for a while before several arms emerged from his thighs again, causing him to curl up, thinking that he had to grow stronger! 

Still, while everything was enjoyable, they were about to arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago, where they would search for the coaters, so they could start their travel to the Fish-Man Island as soon as possible. 

With Shinra's Sharingan, he could hypnotize people, and he could get more or less correct information, but on this sail, he looked at the thick fog in the distance with some hesitation. 

"That's the Florian Triangle," Robin explained, and I saw the thick, dark cloud in the distance. "According to what I have learned, all the people who entered it are unable to leave and are forever trapped in that place, and then they died together on the quiet, dark sea." Yet, strangely enough, she somehow smiled and said, "Isn't that romantic? Do you want to enter together?" 

"..." Shinra. 

"...let's forget it. We should just go to the Saobody Archipelago as soon as possible." 

"Okay." 

While Robin nodded, she appeared so disappointed, making Shinra feel a cold sweat, thinking that her joke was dark, but frankly, he wasn't scared since he knew well that what was inside the Florian Triangle was treasure, and inside that place, there was also a certain legendary samurai that could help him to increase his talent in the swordmanship. 

Shinra had the Supa Supa no Mi, after all, and while his talent in swordsmanship wasn't bad, if it could be better, then why not, right? 

Yet, he thought to wait for the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, since with this Devil Fruit, he knew a better way to make himself gain those talents, or special abilities. 

Regardless, before long, they had arrived at the Saobody Archipelago. 

Shinra might not have had knowledge of navigation before, but if he was being honest, it wasn't that hard to learn this knowledge, and despite the highly volatile and unpredictable weather, it was all fine since his ship was better than most ships in the world of One Piece due to its being created with advanced technology to fight and escape from water type of Kaiju, and as long as one was careful, everything was smooth. 

If a problem existed, it was pirates or those bandits, who came to attack them, especially when they saw his gorgeous ship, thinking to rob him, but as expected, all of them died when they approached him, as he used the power of Suna Suna no Mi to kill all of them. 

Shinra might have many unique abilities, but he realised the convenience that was brought by the Suna Suna no Mi, especially when he faced a group of people. 

While only at the bottom of the sea could one find sand, Shinra could also turn non-living beings, such as a ship, into sand by absorbing all the liquid, then made them quietly sink, causing everyone to die while being mummified by him. 

No, as his fist came closer, their bodies also turned to sand, as the liquid inside them was absorbed to the limit, becoming dry and then transforming into sand. 

"Your mastery over this power has become even better than Crocodile's." 

Robin, who was on the side, was stunned by Shinra's mastery over the Suna Suna no Mi. 

The concept of dryness was the pinnacle of the power of the Suna Suna no Mi. 

However, Shinra knew well that it was still far away from reaching that point, but to face everyone who wanted to rob his ships, whether it was pirates, criminals, nobles, or even Marines, no one was left behind by him as they quietly sank to the bottom of the sea became one with the sands at the bottom of ocean. Still, their attacks also added to his wealth, as those people kept many treasures, cash, luxurious items, and even weapons on their ships. 

As for being wanted and becoming a criminal, while Shinra had made up his mind to join the Marines, it would definitely cause him trouble, but that wasn't the case since he had the Camouflage Space ability from the Kaiju No. 9, which made him able to cut off radio frequencies and vital signs, so the people outside the area of the effect unable to detect anything. 

Naturally, as he came into this world, this ability also enabled him to cut off the electric transmission from Den Den Mushi, the telepathic snail that serves as a means of vocal and/or visual communication across the world, as well as the Vivre Card. 

Yet, this also made a certain someone, who had always protected Robin secretly, feel confused before he came to a certain place, and—

Buru! Buru Buru! 

As Shinra's Den Den Mushi rang, he felt confused, but he answered the call and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. 3?"

By the way, I have read all of your comments, thanks! 

Frankly, if it's that easy, then I won't have much of a headache thinking of the Shiki Fujin, but while Shinigami might be able to handle it somehow, what I am scared about is the one who stays at the Pure Land, the Sage of the Six Paths. 

If somehow due to his actions in Konoha, he attracts the prophecy of the Mount Myouboku, which somehow attracts the Sage of the Six Paths, it will be so troublesome. 

But well, I will think about it more since there should be a time before the world of Naruto.
