Stussy stood there, looking utterly defeated, her eyes squeezed shut as she braced for the end. But after a long moment, nothing happened. Shin hadn't killed her.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you right now. But whether you survive in the long run? That's entirely up to you." Shin had no plans to kill Stussy, but he wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily either.

Feeling a surge of hope, Stussy's eyes lit up.

"What's the price?" Stussy was, after all, the Queen of the Pleasure District. She knew how things worked.

"The price is simple. You'll gather Devil Fruits for me. I don't care what type—"

Shin gave Stussy her mission.

"Collect Devil Fruits?" Stussy frowned. She knew this wouldn't be a walk in the park. Devil Fruits weren't exactly lying around everywhere.

The rare ones especially—those were nearly impossible to get. Even with unlimited money, you couldn't guarantee finding them. Sometimes a single Devil Fruit could destroy an entire pirate crew from the inside out. That's how much power a strong Devil Fruit held.

"You have a problem with that??" Shin asked, seeing her furrowed brow.

"If you don't agree, that's fine too. I won't make things difficult for you." Even though Shin said he wouldn't make things difficult for her, Stussy wasn't about to take that risk. Trusting his word completely? That would be stupid.

"Alright, I will do my best to collect Devil Fruits," Stussy said, nodding.

"A wise choice."

A faint smile crossed Shin's face. If Stussy had refused, he wouldn't have bothered with her. She wasn't worth the effort. But that didn't mean the others would let it slide. The Kuja Pirates weren't just him alone.he fruit. He'd studied the Devil Fruit encyclopedia that Olvia had compiled, but this one wasn't in there.

"An unknown Devil Fruit. It's either unrecorded, or no one has ever eaten it."

Shin stared at the Devil Fruit. Should he find someone to eat it and figure out what it did? If he already knew the fruit's power, he probably wouldn't care much. But seeing an unknown Devil Fruit like this? He couldn't help being curious.

"Looks like your luck is really good, Shirahoshi."

Shin patted her little head and couldn't help but say. Devil Fruits were quite precious and hard to come by. Shirahoshi had found one just by swimming in the sea.

Shirahoshi smiled at Shin, very happy with his praise.

"Let's go, let's go find Olvia and see if she knows what this Devil Fruit is."

Shin took Shirahoshi and Hancock and went to find Olvia.

————

"Olvia, Shirahoshi found a Devil Fruit in the sea. See what it is." Shin called out to Olvia.

"Let me take a look—" Olvia was equally curious.

After all, Shin had become quite an expert on Devil Fruits. If there was one even he couldn't identify, that was definitely intriguing.

Robin, overhearing their conversation, also came over to examine the mysterious fruit.

"Judging by the pattern, it's a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, but I've never seen any record of a Devil Fruit with this pattern..."

Olvia looked at it carefully for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what it was.
