"Here is all of your bounty."
Before Shinra could say anything to receive his bounty—
"Boss, let me take care of it! I will count all the money perfectly without missing a single piece!"
"...I think you are the one who will steal it from me."
"No, boss! Everything is yours! Even my body~!"
Carina swayed her body lewdly as she looked at Shinra with misty, yet determined eyes.
"...." Everyone.
Shinra stared at Carina for a while, then made a chop on her head. "Stop saying stupid things and work!"
"It hurts!" Carina pouted, but her hands were honest and counted all the bounty that Shinra received from the Marines for the Treasure Pirates.
Mad Treasure was cruel and famous for robbing all treasures, whether it was from nobles, Marines, or many others, and he also often kidnapped men and women to be sold or kept as slaves, which made him become the enemy of many, and naturally, his bounty was high.
Still, the only income for Mad Treasure wasn't just from the Marines, but also from his ship, which was filled with many treasures that couldn't be counted.
As for the slaves inside the Mad Treasure's ship, Shinra didn't really have an interest in them and thought of giving them to the Marines, but the majority, or all of them, wished to follow him, which left him speechless. Fortunately, he had acquired the Baroque Works, and the rest of the work could be handled by his followers later, yet he also understood why they wanted to follow him, as he knew well that they had lost their home, family, and everything as Mad Treasure had robbed and destroyed their lives.
When Shinra thought of that, it might be a karma that Mad Treasure had loved him with everything, and he had no guilt whatsoever for taking away Mad Treasure's everything.
Probably, he was the punishment that God had sent to the world.
Still, when he thought of that, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
Who was he?
Genghis Khan?
Yet, a thought of colonizing this planet existed within him.
Similar to how Shinra had planned to take down the world of the Kengan and also the world of the Kaiju No. 8, taking their resources, and waiting for a powerful individual to appear, so he could take away their talents, abilities, knowledge, and everything, so he could become even stronger.
Shinra also had a similar wish when he saw the world of One Piece that was filled with unlimited potential, especially in physical ability and special abilities that came from the Devil Fruit.
'Oh, there's also technology.'
Despite having a setting like those in the 17th century, Shinra knew that the long-lost technologies existed in this world, especially one that came from the lost history that was sought after by Robin.
He might say that he didn't have an interest in the ancient weapon, but if he was given one, why should he refuse, right?
Using a weapon to harm others might be wrong, but it wasn't wrong to have one to protect oneself, right?
Instead of having those dangerous weapons being wielded by a bastard, it was better to have them wielded by him, right?
Regardless, Shinra never expected that he would get such a weapon so easily in this world, which was known as the Dyna Stone.
The arrow used by Naomi Drunk, the archer of the Treasure Pirate, was equipped with Dyna Stones, a weapon of mass destruction, which was also considered the trump card of the Marines.
It stated that Dyna Stones had a similar might to the ancient weapon, but if so, then Shinra had to acknowledge that the ancient weapon was more or less similar to a nuclear weapon, since, in the end, Dyna Stones, no matter how one named them, were just explosive weapons.
Still, this was also a good weapon since it was from Shinra, and he wouldn't refuse a weapon that was given to him by Shinra.
Ah, it was robbery.
"But I am surprised that you didn't kill them." The Marine before him folded her arms as she asked, "Aren't you afraid that they might escape the jail and do their revenge on you?"
"..."
What the heck was this woman saying?
While Shinra was speechless, he also had to admit that the woman Marine before her was beautiful, with short, fluffy black hair and rocker-like attire: a simple black t-shirt that exposed her belly button and small waist, tight leather pants that displayed her long, beautiful legs, yet the choker around her neck made him wonder whether this woman had a deep desire to become a obedient pet of her man.
Still, he couldn't say those words. "Will you release them, Vice Admiral Doll?"
"Of course not! From now on, they will be sent to Impel Down. The impregnable and the best prison in the world! As long as someone is there, no one can escape."
"What about Golden Lion, Shiki?"
"..."
"T-That's an exception!" Doll was a little flustered. "Do you think there are many people who have the ability to fly?"
"Well... that's true." Shinra was too lazy to argue and thought to go back since Robin was waiting for them, as Robin didn't follow them, considering her fame as the Devil's Child.
"So, have you thought of becoming a Marine?" Doll suddenly asked.
"Me? Marines?"
"Why not?" Doll moved closer and pressed her palm to his shoulder, rubbing him with an unexpected palm that was soft and warm. "I can tell that you are strong, but you still have a lot of potential. If you want to tap all of that potential, the best place is the Marines, and I believe the headquarters won't be so blind to ignore you and will definitely raise your rank in the organization quickly."
"..."
Shinra also understood that Marine was a good place to strengthen himself, and he planned to enter since this organization was related to him and would bring him closer to the secrets of the largest and most powerful organization in the world.
Yet, why did it feel like Doll wanted him more than that?
When their eyes met, while he hesitated, she could see her eyes filled with blazing desire that couldn't be described, and it was far from being morally right as she started to move closer, making her mature, yet gentle scent felt by him, and how her palm moved from his shoulder to his neck lightly caressed him to which he stepped back as he took a deep breath to calm himself.
"I am sorry, but I don't have such a plan now."
Doll was slightly at a loss as her palm couldn't reach him again. "Really? Are you going to continue to become a bounty hunter?"
"No."
"No?"
"I plan to become a merchant with the money I get from this bounty."
"Merchant?!" Doll was surprised, but she nodded, thinking that it was far better than the bounty hunter.
"Yes, open a shop, buy farms, sell rice, nuts, and many others."
While Shinra said so, Doll looked at him with an incredulous gaze, and Carina was also included, since the two never expected that he had such a plan.
"Then, why are you strong?"
Doll asked about the last part of her confusion since Shinra had collected many weapons, and he was also strong.
Would such a person be satisfied with the status of a merchant?
"If I am not strong, then can I protect my goods?"
"...." Doll.
"You are right." Doll nodded since this sea was horrible, and if one wasn't strong, then they would die. "By the way, where are you going to open your shop?"
"I haven't made my decision yet, but I plan to go to the New World."
"New World? Then, do you want to follow me?"
"Follow you?"
Facing his confusion, Doll generously said, "I am about to become the Commander of the G-14 Marine Base, so you can follow me to pass through the Red Line from the Mary Geoise."
"No, no! How can I let you know that? I am going to pass through the Fish-Man Island."
"Really? Don't you know that place is dangerous? What if your ship sank there?"
"I will be careful, and if I am afraid of the danger, then I won't have arrived in this place, right?"
"Well..." Doll sighed, then took out a note, and said, "Here. You can go to this place if you want your ship to be coated. Just say that you know me."
"O-Oh..."
Shinra nodded and then thanked Doll. "Thank you, Vice Commander Doll."
"Just call me, Doll. Or, you can add big sister to it."
"Doll-neesan."
"..."
Doll took a deep breath, then took out another note from her deep pocket. "Here is my contact information. Call me if you change your mind."
"O-Oh..."
Shinra couldn't refuse since Doll pressed to his chest, moving so close as she gave him a whisper. "If you become a Marine, I can let you be my direct subordinate, so think about it, okay?"
With a charming smile on her face, she appeared so playful, which made his face so red, but as he excused himself and left with Carina, he rubbed his face, thinking that it was hard for him to act like a virgin.
"Boss."
"Yes?"
"You have the talent to become a gigolo."
"...." Shinra stopped, then looked at Carina, who looked at him with a smile. "Get the hell out of here now."
"No~! Don't abandon me, boss~! I am willing to follow you forever~! My life is yours~!"
As she cried while clinging to his thigh, Shinra felt her naughty hands that grabbed him in that area.
"B-Big...!"
"...."
Looking up at the distant sky, Shinra wondered whether there was a good woman in this world.
