"Wake up, my love!"
Jin got up from Luffy's bed and slapped Nami on the backside.
Glancing at the dusk outside the window, he remembered that he went in in the morning and came out in the evening.
Nami snorted twice through her nose. She tried hard to get up but ultimately fell back down powerless, only able to glare at Jin with eyes full of resentment.
How to put it?
Although full of resentment, there was surprisingly not much hatred mixed in.
"Let's go, time for lunch... oh no, that would be dinner now," Jin bent down and picked Nami up.
"...Why don't you... join the Straw Hat Pirates?" Nami suddenly whispered.
Jin immediately made an expression as if saying, 'Are you f***ing kidding me?'
Nami suddenly became agitated, grabbing his collar with one hand, bringing her face close to his. "D-don't you think it's a solution that benefits everyone? You said yourself you're not interested in the title of Pirate King, right? You and Luffy have no conflict of interest. A-and..." Her voice grew smaller and smaller, "...And... I wouldn't have to suffer like this..."
Jin continued carrying Nami out, set her down in the dining room, and said leisurely, "Stop joking. Leaving aside the issue with Yasopp, which is already equivalent to creating a feud with the Straw Hats, given Monkey D. Luffy's worship of the edgy king Shanks, would he let an enemy of the Red Hair Pirates on his ship?"
Jin was still being somewhat polite to Nami. After all, he'd just taken the girl's most important thing.
Jin himself didn't care much about power issues like being the boss or the second-in-command.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have repeatedly expressed no interest in the Hokage's position, leaving it to Tsunade.
But even if he were to get himself a leader, Jin would rather choose someone like Sakazuki or Gin than Luffy.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Luffy admires the 'heroic' Kozuki Oden is something he can't stand.
'Damn, isn't Oden just a pure idiot?'
Jin really couldn't understand why Roger would kneel for him or why Whitebeard would call him brother.
'Wait, didn't everyone who joined the Whitebeard Pirates have to become Whitebeard's son? Why could Kozuki Oden be a brother?'
Jin felt he needed to open the chat group and ask.
"Then what do you want me to do!?" Nami cried, tears streaming down her face like raindrops on a pear blossom.
"It's alright, don't cry, don't cry~" Jin pulled Nami into his arms, comforting her, "Didn't I say? I have no problem with Monkey D. Luffy. If he wants to be the Pirate King, let him be. As long as he doesn't provoke me, he can be the East Sea Pirate King, North Sea Pirate King, Pacific Pirate King, whatever he wants."
Hearing Jin's bastardly speech, even through her tears, Nami couldn't help but want to roll her eyes hard.
'Don't provoke you? You stole his ship and slept with me, his navigator. Looks like you provoked him first, doesn't it?
Seeing this comfort wasn't working, Jin changed tactics: "Anyway, there's still nearly half a year until the time agreed upon with the Straw Hat Pirates, right? During this time, let's not think about the future, just enjoy the present moment, okay?"
'What kind of scumbag talk is this?'
Nami felt that not slapping this little bastard twice was already her being generous.
'And you call Usopp's father a scumbag? I think you're not much better than him!'
Bang~
At that moment, Konan, wearing an apron, her face dark, slammed a clay pot in front of the two. Inside was goji berry and pork liver soup.
This was already the second time she'd made this kind of soup.
The previous recipient was Tsunade.
"Alright, don't think so much. Have some soup first," Jin patted the sulking Konan's little head and pushed the pot towards Nami.
Then he entered the chat group.
'Several hours had passed. Ace should have finished cursing by now, right?'
...
[Ace: @Rouge, Mom, Pops told me that no matter who gives birth to them, everyone is a pirate of the sea. Even though I died, I have no regrets about my life. You can chat more with Pops from now on, he's a good man. Of course, I mean Whitebeard Pops, not that beast Roger.]
What an opening shocker.
Jin, who had just entered the chat, felt this was indeed an opening shocker.
'Ace's tone felt a bit strange. Was he trying to set up his mom with Whitebeard?'
'Have you considered your biological father's feelings?'
Even without seeing Roger's expression, all group members could imagine Roger's face turning green with anger.
In the underworld, Newgate rubbed his chin nervously, almost scraping off skin. He understood the principle of 'live long, see much', but he didn't expect to encounter something this abstract even after death.
'Reincarnated as Whitebeard, Start by Cuckolding Roger?'
But to be honest, if he could really steal Roger's woman... he felt inexplicably excited.
Whitebeard suddenly understood Jin's behavior. Originally, he was quite disdainful of Jin forcibly taking Nami.
But after experiencing it personally... it did feel quite thrilling.
Question Jin, understand Jin, become Jin… that's how it goes.
[Rouge: Ace, don't be like that. Mom has only ever loved your father in this lifetime.]
[Ace: Why, Mom! That guy is an animal! He... did that to you and then ran away, didn't fulfill any responsibility as a husband! And he went to bother you even though he knew he was dying! I've never seen such a beast! Even that guy Jin seems like a good person compared to him!]
Jin: "???"
Jin couldn't help but complained in his heart, 'You're having a family drama, why drag me into it?'
[Rouge: Child, you need to understand, when a woman falls in love with a man... she often does things that seem unimaginable to outsiders.]
'Awesome!'
Jin almost couldn't help but applaud for Rouge.
Rouge's words reminded Jin of a certain woman. For a lover with impressive... assets, she almost killed her husband for her secret lover. This phrase describes her perfectly as well.
[Ace: Mom... Sigh!]
Ace felt as frustrated as if he'd punched cotton. No matter how indignant he was, if the person involved, his mom, had no objections, what right did he have to curse Roger?
[Jin: @Ace, That's how love-struck people are. But you should also thank your scumbag father. After all, if he hadn't been a scumbag to your mom, you wouldn't exist, right?]
Seriously, more than Haki and swordsmanship, Jin really wanted to learn from Roger about techniques for deceiving women.
'It would be great if I could transform Nami or Hancock into women like that.'
'Robin probably wasn't possible, that woman was too rational.'
[Ace: Nonsense! I'd rather never have been born!]
[Roger: @Jin, I heard about you from Newgate. You're the one who told Ace about my affairs, right? And you killed one of Shanks' crew members.]
Having been cursed at by his son for six or seven hours straight, and almost being cuckolded by Newgate, Roger was feeling extremely depressed.
But he didn't dare vent on his son since he was in the wrong, so he targeted Jin.
[Jin: What? You dare do it but can't take people talking about it? Not just Yasopp, even Shanks himself… if he dares provoke me, I'll kill him too. If you're unhappy, I can go back to Sabaody Archipelago and take out Rayleigh first. Maybe I can send him in to keep you company.]
Roger stared wide-eyed, momentarily speechless, 'This kid was even more arrogant than I imagined!'
[Newgate: @Roger: Gurararara~ Roger, I advise you to speak more politely with this kid. He might not have many virtues, but he never fails to keep his word.]
Jin faintly felt he had forgotten something. After browsing the member list again, he slapped his forehead.
'Damn, how could I forget her?'
[Jin: @Akemi, Welcome, new member.]
[Akemi: H-hello, I-I'm Miyano Akemi. Nice to meet you.]
Akemi was like a transparent student suddenly called on by the teacher. She shuddered, her tongue tied.
She joined the group at the same time as Roger and his wife, but no one paid her any attention. Only Kazuma, after learning Rouge was a mother, kept spamming her DMs asking for photos.
Akemi, who had been silently lurking, roughly figured out her current situation.
And then... she became even more afraid to speak.
'Damn, they're all big shots! Each one capable of dominating a country or even destroying the world.'
Akemi felt like a husky thrown into a wolf den. The only one similar to her, with no special abilities, was Kazuma, and he was a perpetually horny high school student.
'God, it would have been better if Gin had just shot me and let me sleep forever.'
Jin started chatting idly with Akemi.
To be honest, among a group of battle anime group friends, having a slice-of-life anime character mixed in was quite interesting.
'But does Detective Conan count as slice-of-life? A death god elementary school student who kicks satellites with a soccer ball, a unicorn girl who dodges bullets while measuring speed, a black-skinned karate guy who splits stone pillars with his bare hands... In the Naruto World view, they'd probably be considered Special Jonin-level, right?'
...
Jin didn't chat with Akemi for too long before leaving. After all, Akemi had no special abilities that could help him, and she couldn't gift him her sister as a quest reward.
Naturally, the utilitarian Jin couldn't be bothered to waste time on her.
'Speaking of which, this woman's love-struck mentality seemed no less than Rouge's. She knew full well that Akai Shuichi was using her to investigate the Black Organization, yet she never turned against him.'
...
Nighttime.
On the deck of Sunny.
Everyone sat around a bonfire chatting.
When Hancock heard the name 'Donquixote Doflamingo' from Jin's mouth, her expression changed slightly.
Among the Warlord, while not the strongest, he was definitely the one with the greatest influence.
Like her, he was the leader of a country. But the influence of Amazon Lily and Dressrosa couldn't be compared at all.
"Besides being a Warlord and the King of Dressrosa, that guy is also the biggest black market broker in the New World. Human trafficking, Devil Fruits, weapons of war... he deals in everything."
After lunch, Jin couldn't resist and had two more rounds with Nami, so right now, he wasn't wearing anything on top.
When Hancock heard the words 'human trafficking', her face visibly darkened.
"Hmm?" Jin's expression changed slightly. He stood up from his seat.
"Jin-sensei, what's wrong?" Rin asked curiously.
Jin's face was solemn. He slowly turned around, revealing his amazing physique, and gradually turned his back to them.
