"....." 3x
Whether it was Shinra, Robin, or Carina, the three of them could only think how bizarre this situation was, and thought that there were surely many types of people in this world, but they had to say, this was a bit too much.
Though if only they traveled further, they would see someone crazier.
Regardless, many eyes were staring at them since the two men who stood against each other were so handsome.
Cavendish, the White Horse.
The captain of the Beautiful Pirates, one of the most talented swordsmen, was a former royalty turned pirate because most of the women in his kingdom refused to marry him due to his beauty.
While Cavendish was narcissistic and a foolish man who loved being fawned over by many, everyone also had to admit that he possessed a beauty that was admired by both women and men.
If Shinra didn't exist, then probably Cavendish would be the most handsome guy in the world.
No, Cavendish was the most beautiful man in the world of One Piece.
Unlike a certain pirate who had a Devil Fruit that made her into the most beautiful pirate, Cavendish was an original, without relying on anything, yet even so, his beautiful appearance could make both men and women scream hysterically.
Yet, everything changed when Cavendish saw Shinra for the first time. Unlike the screams and cheers that he had expected when everyone looked at him, everyone stared at Shinra with a longing and forlorn expression as he had his fun with his women.
Yet, for Cavendish, it was unforgivable!
Cavendish wouldn't allow anyone who was more handsome... no, beautiful than him to appear!
Everyone could be obsessed and think of him as the most handsome!
No one else could be more handsome than him!
Then again, while it was humiliating, Cavendish had to admit that Shinra's charm was more or less about the same as his.
'No, I am more handsome!'
As Cavendish thought so, Shinra stared at this man with dead fish eyes.
"..."
"Crazy." Shinra shook his head and walked away, ignoring this crazy guy, who stopped them as he didn't have much interest.
Robin and Carina also thought so, but all of a sudden, a sharp, slender blade stabbed into the back of Shinra's head!
Shinra, who felt a tingling danger premonition, moved his head to the side and grabbed the two to move away.
Still, while Cavendish was dirty, he didn't make an attack on the women or try to pursue Shinra, who took care of his women first. Instead, he knew that a duel was about to start between them, and as he expected, a battle to determine who was the most beautiful among them—
"Gah!"
Cavendish and Hakuma (Cavendish's white horse) were in intense pain as they couldn't breathe, and their bodies were scorching as they felt they were about to die!
"..." Everyone.
Yet, for everyone else, all of them could only watch this bizarre situation with a dumbfounded expression.
W-What is happening?
"What power did you use? Is it the power of a vampire?" Carina asked curiously.
Unlike Robin, who knew that Shinra could get the power of others, Carina knew nothing, but even so, she could more or less understand his ability, as she wasn't an idiot.
While Carina never asked deliberately, Shinra also never hid his power, which could rob others of their abilities, especially when he had shown many of his powers, such as the Suna Suna no Mi.
"Well, yes."
If it were in a different place, Shinra might explain everything, but as he knew well that there were many troublesome opponents in this area, he only nodded since it was impossible for him to say that he used the Gas Gas no Mi, right?
The Gas Gas no Mi.
This was his second Logia type of Devil Fruit, which made him able to manipulate gas, including oxygen.
Shinra's previous martial art in the world of Kengan Ashura, Vacuum Hand, was a technique that created a lower percentage of oxygen with his palm. However, with this Devil Fruit, he could now erase the oxygen and create a vacuum environment.
Frankly, if it was a normal person, they would die immediately, but as Cavendish wasn't a nobody and his power was quite high, he could hold on.
Yet, even so, it was extremely painful as Cavendish felt that he was about to die, as all the fluids in his body were boiling. Still, during that moment of crisis, a part of him, an entity that had caused a tragedy in his kingdom, emerged!
In the past, if there was a reason why Cavendish left his kingdom, it was partly due to the great numbers of women, who didn't want to marry as they wanted to be with him, and it was also due to an unusual condition that he had, which gave him a double personality when he was sleeping, and caused several slashing incidents that took the lives of many!
Yes, he, Hakuba, the Sickle Weasel of Rommel, was awoken!
In this state, Cavendish was uncontrollable and only followed his killing intent and madness; he massacred everything!
Only when he was about to be awoken, his lung was pierced by something as he looked at the man, who had taken him down for the last time, manically, yet with deep fear and hopelessness, realizing his life was about to disappear.
Shinra, who sharpened his nails like those of a beast with the power of a Vampire, enveloped them in Armament Haki and the power of Supa Supa no Mi, turning his hand into the Devil Lance that would pierce anything.
Still, as he was thinking about what he should do with Cavendish, someone interrupted him.
"Hey, isn't that enough? You should let him go."
"....."
Shinra looked up and saw a freckled man, half-naked, with a bowl of ramen in his two hands, staring at them with a gentle smile.
"..."
"T-That's... Portgas D. Ace!"
"The 2nd Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Why is he here?!"
Everyone was startled as they didn't expect to see this famous man on this island.
"Hey, pay for the food, you bastard!"
"Ah, sorry, I will pay it later."
"...." Everyone.
Yet, watching Ace, one of the men with the highest position on the Whitebeard Pirates, apologize awkwardly after he ran away without paying for his food, all of them felt at a loss, thinking that the image of one of the powerful men was hurt.
"Should we do something?"
One of the two figures in a white suit that was hiding nearby couldn't help but ask.
"There is no need to be in a hurry. Let's see his limit first."
Yet, inwardly, the two of them thought that Shinra was stronger than they had imagined, especially when he could defeat Cavendish with ease.
However, what about Portgas Ace?
However, Shinra ignored Ace and used his ability to rob Cavendish of everything, and also did a certain experiment.
"Oi, did you not listen to me?!"
Still, as Shinra ignored him, Ace became angry and launched his attack directly.
"FIRE FIST!"
Pushing his fist, Ace launched a powerful fire blast at Shinra!
"Run away!"
"Ah, be careful of the fire!"
"My house! I just bought it and there were still 32 years of loans left!"
While everyone was in a panic as the fire that was launched by Ace burnt everything in its path, including the nearby buildings, and harmed the people, yet, while the civilians could do nothing as they were weak, Shinra was all calm without even glancing at the fire, but somehow as the fire was about to get close, it disappeared completely.
"..."
"Eh?"
