Shirou's clones number 30 million

"Otherwise what? Stay here and make a fool of yourself?"

"If Miss Aiji needs anything, I can call more people and snatch the pig's feet back."

Adagaki Aki didn't reply, but looked around before speaking:

"What's the use of finding more people when faced with this supernatural ability to part the ocean?"

"Moreover, a man who changes his heart is like a pebble on the ground; he is not worth keeping."

“Although Miss Aki’s words are very forceful, her facial expression tells a completely different story,” Yoshino Koiwai said softly.

"Shut up! Yoshino, I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to argue with you."

"Yes, Miss Aigi."

Chapter 448 I'm here to meet you in person

Chapter 448, Section 449: I'm here to meet you in person.

"hiss……"

On the beach, Shirou Hashiba suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and gasped.

"What's wrong, Shirou?" Shino Aki looked surprised.

"I accidentally saw something I shouldn't have seen."

He's going blind! He's going blind!

This world is different from the world of One Piece. In One Piece, all the men are fish-men, and only the women are mermaids with human bodies and fish tails.

But in this world, all mermaids, regardless of gender, have human bodies and fish tails.

Just now, Shirou Hashiba, who was watching Masamune Makabe's antics, suddenly saw a group of male mermaids heading towards the place where the two sides were talking.

He looks like a disheveled middle-aged man. In his middle age, his hair has turned into a bald patch, but below it is a fishtail.

Because of my excellent eyesight, I can see more things, which makes it all the more painful to look at.

"There's nothing around here," Shino Aki said, looking around in surprise.

"I have good eyesight, and I just saw a middle-aged man swimming naked in the sea."

"This... thank you for your hard work."

Shino Aki paused for a moment, then asked again:

"I wonder if Miss Robin has managed to find Oda-sensei?"

"There's definitely no problem. We should trust the newcomer's abilities."

"Where did Shirou find the new recruits? Two people came to the store this morning to inquire about hiring, but they immediately lost interest after hearing the specific job descriptions."

"After all, it's by the sea... Most people who come here are just looking for jobs that pay well and are easy. I found someone online."

......

As evening fell, Shirou Hashiba and his companion were having a barbecue in the backyard of the shop when the skinny clerk led Nico Robin in from outside.

"I'm back! Huh...? Are you guys having barbecue?"

"Have you finished your work?"

As they were talking, Shino Aki prepared a serving of grilled meat for him as well.

"The work has been completed smoothly. You don't need to give me the barbecue; I just finished eating."

"You've had a long day, please eat something. Don't be shy."

"No, I really can't eat anymore."

Seeing this, Shirou Hashiba slowly spoke:

"Why don't you sit down and have something to eat?"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

The skinny waiter immediately took the tray, thinking to himself:

That despicable original! Saying that shadow clones don't need to eat, you're two-faced! Hypocritical!

"Miss Robin, this is your portion." Shino Aki handed it to Nico Robin while asking, "Have you seen Oda-sensei?"

"I did see it, but it wasn't quite the same as what I'd seen before."

"Well... people change, right? Please don't worry about it too much."

"Thank you. I actually had a deep question in my mind before, but now I feel somewhat relieved."

Since meeting Oda in this world, Nico Robin's confusion has gradually lessened.

Two similar worlds, with identical manga content, but the author Oda looks completely different and has a very different personality.

Perhaps one day in the future, I will meet another Nico Robin.

"I'm glad it helped you," Shino Aki said with a smile.

"What is Ms. Shino Aki's surname?"

"My surname is Shino, and my given name is Aki. But for some reason, most people around me prefer to call me by my full name."

It's obvious that calling Ya Gui sounds like calling a boy.

Nico Robin smiled but didn't reply.

Just then, someone else walked in from outside.

"Are you even open for business now, serving barbecue?"

The speaker was Adagaki Aki, and behind her, Koiwai Yoshino followed closely.

"Hello, are you looking to ask our Yorozuya for help?" Shino Aki immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Where's that fat guy? Why isn't he here? He's the one who greeted me earlier."

“He went to buy groceries. If you have any worries, you can tell us.”

"I see..."

Adagaki Aki looked around and said seriously:

"Well then, listen carefully. My job is to investigate those people in the sea. Who are they, and why are they gathering there?"

"We regret to inform you that we cannot accept this request," Shirou Hashiba said slowly. "The Yorozuya does not accept conflicting requests."

"Do you know what I'm asking?"

"Well... the identities of those people, and the reason they gathered in the sea, are all confidential matters."

Mermaids in this world are clearly a much weaker group compared to humans.

Once the existence of mermaids becomes public knowledge, it's hard to say what humans will do.

Although what happened in the sea just now resembled a scene of carnage, in reality, a single misstep could lead to bloodshed.

"Doesn't your Yorozuya claim to accept any kind of request?"

"That's true, but as someone who loves world peace, I don't accept any commissions that could cause global unrest."

"My commission will cause world turmoil? That's ridiculous, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"Please leave. We refuse to accept your request."

"Hmph...! Fine, I won't answer. I'll go find a detective."

After seeing the two off, Shino Aki asked in surprise:

Why isn't Shirou accepting her request? Is it really because of a conflict of interest?

"No, it's because of the latter that the world will be thrown into turmoil."

Shirou paused for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Actually, the subject of her investigation was mermaids living in the sea, and this matter could not be known to outsiders."

"Why...!?"

Shino Aki exclaimed involuntarily, paused for a moment, and quickly recovered.

"Oh, I see."

Do you believe what I'm saying?

"Hmm, I believe Shirou... Why tell me something so important?"

"Because I also believe you will keep it a secret, right?"

Of course, it's also because this is another world.

In their original world, there were no supernatural phenomena, let alone a magical species like mermaids.

"I won't tell anyone."

A few seconds later, Nicole Robin suddenly spoke, breaking the silence between the two.

"Excuse me, when can you take me home?"

"go back?"

Shiro Hashiba was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what was happening and pointed at the thin shop assistant.

"Find him. Whenever you want to go back, just have him take you. Anytime is fine. Or, you can come back with us tomorrow afternoon."

"Thank you for your help." Nico Robin looked at the thin clerk.

"No problem, when do you plan to go back?"

"Now?"

"Let's go then."

The skinny waiter immediately picked up the plate and ate all the remaining grilled meat.

"There's no need to rush, finish your meal before you leave." Before he finished speaking, Hashiba Shirou suddenly smiled slightly, "We have guests."

The next moment, Masamune Makabe appeared out of thin air on the wall.
