"....."
There were many things that Shinra wanted to say, but why the heck was there a gigantic robot before him?
Emet the Iron Giant
Shinra had heard of it, the legendary giant robot that had attacked the Mary Geoise 200 years ago. It was said that it was brought to the Eggland, the new research island that was created by Vegapunk, yet how could it appear here?
"VEGAPUNK!!!" 5x
The powerful impact caused the Five Elders to curse Vegapunk, who didn't mention them about Emet, who moved to Marineford!
Whether it was Shinra or the Five Elders, it was clear that Emet, that cursed robot, who all of a sudden moved and wanted to destroy the Mary Geoise in the past, was kept in the Eggland, as something that was used for research purposes, yet somehow, it suddenly emerged out of the ocean, protecting Nika, and even released a powerful Supreme King Haki, and was ready to fight them!
Why did all of this happen?
If they could come up with one reason, it was all due to Nika.
Yet, Shinra had to say that the power of Nika was just so unreasonable as it could affect fate, bringing everything to his side, protecting him till he stood on the crown, and became the true emperor that everyone sought, so the world, and everything that stood by his side, would do their best to get that position since that was what everyone had been waiting for
Waiting for their savior to come, like how it was written on the Poneglyph.
Still, as Nika could lose once and fail to do anything against the World Government 800 years ago, how could anyone have confidence in such a loser?
Moreover, since Imu and the World Government could win once, how could they not win twice?
Then again, since Shinra had used the Kotoamatsukami on Imu, this world was as good as his, and what was left was just to return the planet to how it used to be, returning all the land and the sea level to a normal level.
So, even if everyone was stunned and couldn't move when the Supreme King Haki was released from a small twist of rope, Shinra directly dashed toward Nika!
Tying.
This was one of the techniques that were developed from the Supreme King's Haki by imbuing the aura into it and releasing it during a critical moment After all, like stamina, Haki wasn't infinite, and it was finite, so one needed time to recover, but with this technique, not only could it be used as a weapon, it could also help the user to recover like keeping a powerbank that was brought around when one needed it.
While it was a useful technique, Shinra could think of that later as he needed to take away Nika's power first!
Dash!
As he moved, he disappeared, and suddenly disappeared before emerging in front of Nika, who was blown away by the Supreme King Haki, and somehow stood among all of his powerful followers, such as Garp, Dragon, and many others.
Yet, even so, those who wanted to protect Luffy, or simply Nika, couldn't react as Shinra suddenly appeared!
"LUFFY!"
As everyone was in their most moments of dread, Shinra was about to grasp Luffy's head, but somehow a gigantic fist was about to smash him!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!
The earth and ocean shook violently, blasting Nika and the others away, giving them a chance to escape.
Naturally, Shinra was able to dodge, but he couldn't help but look at Emet, who stood and blocked his path.
Emet was covered in the powerful aura of the Supreme King Haki that was given by Nika 800 years ago, and all of it was used at this moment. At the same time, his energy was also very high due to the new energy created by Vegapunk.
Yet, even so, it knew that it didn't have a long time to live. Instead, it would be defeated here, yet as long as Nika was saved and had a chance to liberate this world, then it was ready to do everything!
Only, Shinra didn't plan to face Emet, but appeared on the side of one of the Vice Marines. "Vice Admiral Bluegrass, can you use your Devil Fruit on that robot?"
"..."
Bluegrass, the short elderly woman, blinked her eyes when Shinra suddenly appeared in front of her, but, hearing his question, she quickly nodded. "I can try."
"Don't worry. I will help you."
Then, as Shinra picked up Bluegrass, the two teleported to the top of Emet, and Bluegrass used her Devil Fruit!
"?!"
Emet somehow realized what was going to happen, but it was too late.
Nori Nori no Mi.
This was the Devil Fruit that was eaten by Bluegrass, which gave her the ability to take control of anything that she rode on. In the original story, she rode on the Kuma android and took control of it.
So, if she could control Kuma, then why couldn't she control Emet, right?
Especially at this moment, Bluegrass had his help.
"Smash them, Vice Admiral Bluegrass!"
"Aye!"
Bluegrass then controlled Emet and smashed Nika and everyone!
"Brace for the impact!"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
Once again, the gigantic tsunami washed over everyone as their entire bodies were a mess due to the impact of Emet.
Yet, all the Marines, including the Five Elders, were dumbfounded, never expecting Bluegrass, that short elderly woman, to take control over Emet, this disaster robot!
"EMETT!"
Nika, or Luffy, roared in anger as he saw his dear friend being controlled like a toy!
Still, Shinra, who was hiding, was silent for a moment, wondering what he should do.
Killing Luffy or Nika directly?
Frankly, he had no idea since he had never thought of Luffy as an enemy. Nika was different from Luffy, after all, and more importantly, he had taken Nami's first time, so... at least, like how he did nothing to Rayleigh, he thought not to do anything to Luffy.
'So...'
As he thought so, he had an idea about what to do.
Would it fail?
Or would it end up in a success?
However, it was worth a try, for the chance of failure, while it existed, was so small, and even if he ended up a failure, it wouldn't change the fate of people whose identity he had erased.
Or rather, he had killed all of them, so that way, even if the effect of this ability disappeared, it wouldn't change much.
So, as he took a deep breath, he directly passed through everyone, letting Bluegrass attack everyone, making them distracted as he grasped Nika's head, only all of a sudden, a man, or a tranvestite with a large head, suddenly emerged!
"Become a woman!"
"?!"
The nails on this man became so sharp and long, but Shinra quickly pulled Nika closer, using him to block the man's attack, and caused everyone to widen their eyes!
"Eh?"
Emperior Ivankov, who had used his power, was dumbfounded, but it was too late.
Nika, whose face was more or less similar to Luffy's, started to transform into a woman, as her body grew smaller, and her chest swelled up, but Shinra didn't show any mercy and—
Poof!
With that sound effect, Shinra took away Nika's power!
