"So... is there a treasure in this place?"
"It should be, but it won't be much, and the value is limited."
"Really?"
"Yup." Shinra nodded. "There is nothing on this island, after all."
The Fish-Man Island, while it was beautiful, as it was located at the bottom of the sea and didn't even lack sunlight due to the special type of a tree that could emit a sunlight and oxygen needed by all the creatures who lived in this island, it was completely empty, without any resources except for good-looking mermaids, and corals.
The land was so poor and located so deep within the ocean's depths that it was troublesome to access.
If this island were similar to Singapore, which worked as a transit country, it might be good, but unfortunately, the location was too dangerous to access.
"Don't think too much about this island. It's worthless since it is troublesome to manage."
"..." Carina.
"What made money, then?"
"Those islands that have clean freshwater. As long as there is water, everything is possible, and it is even better if it has better access."
As long as there was water, everything was possible, and that was why the Fish-Man Island could become part of the World Government, paying the Heavenly Tribute, or tax to the strongest organization in the world while many countries and kingdoms were so desperate that they could only wage a war, raised the tax, or sold their own people.
If Shinra thought of all the lives in the world, the life of the Fish-Man Island, despite being located on the gloomy bottom of the ocean, was nice as their problem was only a few pirates, which could be taken down easily since the ocean, the fish-men, and the mermaid were the king.
"Also, we're just too different, so it is hard to work with them."
"Is it?"
"Even humans from a different region can fight, so for us, who have a different appearance, our conflict will be even higher."
"Well, that's true..."
Even if everyone were human, everyone would still fight each other, so how could fish-men and mermaids, who were simply a different race, be able to live in peace?
"Is it really impossible for us to live in peace?"
"By that question, do you mean only humans or different races?"
Carina thought for a moment and asked, "What about different races?"
"Even in the same nation, can they be at peace even if they are all human? Do you think it is possible for several races to be in peace together?"
"...." Carina.
"Well, it's possible."
"Huh? Really? How?"
"To have an external powerful enemy, where everyone has to work hard together to defeat."
"...." Carina, Robin, and everyone.
"...powerful enemy? How strong is it?"
"Er... on the scale of planet destruction?"
"..." Everyone.
"Or—"
"Or?!"
Shinra was speechless when his words were cut, but he continued and said, "Or have a superpowerful individual who is almighty as a god to rule this world, so everyone is afraid to cause trouble to each other, as they might be punished by this ruler."
"..." Everyone.
"Is it only by power that peace can be achieved? Is it not possible by talking to each other?"
"Is it."
Shinra knew that his words might sound ridiculous, but the truth was that since before the nuclear bomb was discovered, all the countries in his previous life had more or less about the same military power, and a war often happened, but due to the nuclear bomb, as everyone knew how dangerous it was since no matter who they were whether they were wealthy, poor, nobles, and even beyond many, they would die under the explosion of the nuclear bomb.
Even in the world of Naruto, it was because Hashirama Senju was known as the strongest that he could destroy a country or two that everyone was willing to be at peace.
Even Naruto, who always tried to talk, so everyone could be at peace, was also known as the strongest in the world of Naruto.
If Naruto wasn't the strongest, Shinra was sure that the world would be in a war already.
Even Luffy, in this world, had to become the strongest and awaken the Nika Nika no Mi.
So, with all of that, could peace even be achieved by talking to each other?
It was because Naruto, Luffy, and those shounen manga MCs were powerful that they could achieve their ambitions by talking. If they were weak, then they would meet their demise at the hands of the antagonist.
"More importantly, in this world, there are many individuals who have the power to destroy a country or two. Facing such an individual, can words stop them? No, if you have a power that makes you able to do anything without thinking of the consequences, will you listen to those whom you can kill at any moment?"
"....."
When Shinra asked them such questions, they also had to admit that it was hard to stop their desire.
If Carina had such an allmighty power, she would definitely collect all the wealth in this world.
If Robin had such all-powerful abilities, she would return to the past, protect everyone, and then try to uncover the past history.
Some people would say that they were wrong with their wishes, but when they had the power, could they stop their desire and listen to who stopped them?
Definitely not.
It was like the current situation of the fish-men group, who thought that they were born better, as their strength was ten times that of a normal adult!
"Over there!"
"Catch those humans!"
"They are criminals!"
"..."
Carina and Robin were speechless, but the guards around them quickly tried to stop their friends.
"Hey, stop it!"
"What are you all doing?!"
"Shut up! We have identified that group of humans as criminals! You can't protect them!"
Still, while the number of soldiers continued to increase, trying to encircle them, Shinra was calm. "Are you done, Robin?"
"Yes." Robin nodded, then asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Fortunately, I have a new power now."
If Shinra used the Suna Suna no Mi, he would destroy the land of the Fish-Man Island, and he wasn't so crazy to do that to the land of innocents, unlike on the Saobody Archipelago, where he went on a rampage, which was the place where all the criminals belonged.
Still, he wouldn't show mercy toward this group of people, though.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
As Shinra glanced at all of them, they felt their hearts fill with dread before all of them passed out and fell on the ground.
"..." Everyone.
Supreme King Haki.
With Shinra's talent in martial arts, the talents of the Uchiha Clan, and many other results of his hard work, it was easy for him to master the basic use of the Supreme King Haki, which was to release pressure to destroy the will of those who wanted to become his enemies.
It was a nice ability, especially when facing small fries, as he was too lazy to fight them one by one.
Yawning, Shinra stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Okay."
While Carina and Robin were stunned, they nodded and followed him.
"W-What did you do?! Hey, answer me!"
Unexpectedly, one soldier still stood up, frightened, and then looked at Shinra in anger, as this guy had completely ignored him.
How dare you look down on me, you lowly human!
He thought so, and put several pills into his mouth, then his body grew stronger as his muscles grew larger before he dashed and was ready to tear this lowly human apart!
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"
His speed couldn't be followed by eyes, and instantly, he arrived in front of Shinra, ready to kill him, causing Robin and Carina to be stopped, but Shinra was quite at ease, only raising his finger lightly, the fish-man soldier's arm was cut.
"..." Everyone.
"H-How? Isn't a human a lowly being? Weak and cowardly?! How can you defeat the mighty and strong, fish-men, like me?!"
Still, Shinra didn't answer the man and took the box of pills that the fish-man soldier had kept.
"H-How? Give that back to me!"
The fish-man was stunned and tried to reach for Shinra, but by using the power of Supa Supa no Mi, once again, Shinra made his finger as sharp as a blade, then—
"STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!"
At a distance, a fat shark-type of fish-man shouted with all of his lungs, trying to stop Shinra, but it was too late.
"Why?"
The head of the fish-man slid down from his neck and fell before he died.
"HODY JONESSSSS!!!"
