I Can Make Grandpa Angry, But... Others Can't! ! ! (1/5)

"I don't care about the rest, but Shanks and Yasopp—you two are under arrest!"

The moment those words left Finn's lips, the atmosphere shifted. The cadres of the Red Hair Pirates erupted in fury.

Clang! Clang!

Weapons were drawn in unison. The killing intent was almost tangible, radiating from their faces.

Shanks' expression turned dark, veins throbbing in his forehead. Shame! He was one of the Four Emperors, a force to be reckoned with in the New World, yet here stood a mere Marine who dared to threaten him with arrest.

Grinding his teeth, Shanks glared at Finn. "Finn! Do you think I'm backing down because I'm afraid of you?" he snarled.

"I don't care if you're afraid or not," Finn replied calmly, as if he were merely stating a fact. "You two are going to Impel Down. As for the rest of your crew... if they want to join you, I don't mind accommodating them."

Larouqi, one of Shanks' men, could barely contain his rage. "Bastard! You think we're just here for show?" he bellowed, his fleshy face quivering.

"In my eyes, that's exactly what you are," Finn sneered. His confidence was absolute, unshakable.

Shanks narrowed his eyes, realizing there would be no peaceful resolution today. "Looks like you're forcing our hand," he said, voice cold.

The Red Hair Pirates quickly spread out, forming a deadly formation, ready to strike.

Finn, however, paid them no heed. Instead, he turned to the villagers nearby. "The battle's going to get intense. Everyone, take shelter aboard the warship."

With a single thought, Finn extended a long, metallic bridge from the warship to the pier, inviting the villagers to safety. Trusting in the Marine's strength, the villagers hurried across the bridge, taking refuge inside the warship.

Once they were safe, Finn activated his communication device. "Woski, prepare for combat," he commanded. Moments later, Tashigi leapt down from the warship, landing gracefully beside him. "Master," she acknowledged with a respectful nod.

Finn smiled, ruffling her hair. "Tashigi, this is Makino. She's important to me. Escort her to the warship and protect her."

"Understood," Tashigi responded without hesitation. She took Makino's hand and led her away.

Makino gave Finn a concerned look. "Please, be careful."

"Don't worry," Finn assured her with a confident grin.

As Tashigi escorted Makino aboard, Shanks' patience snapped. "I've had enough of this! Attack!"

Boom!

The instant Shanks gave the command, Benn Beckman unleashed a barrage of bullets, each one enhanced with Armament Haki, turning them into lethal projectiles. The air was filled with the crackle of gunfire, each shot aimed precisely at Finn.

But Finn was unfazed. He smirked. "Interesting."

With a burst of power, he activated the Eight Inner Gates. The Seventh Gate opened with a surge of energy. Advanced Shave! In a blur of motion, Finn vanished from his previous position, leaving only an afterimage.

The bullets tore through the illusion, vanishing into the distance.

Yasopp, confident in his aim, prepared to fire another shot. But before he could pull the trigger, a voice whispered behind him, "What are you aiming at?"

Yasopp's eyes widened in shock. How could it be Finn? He was just in front of them!

Before anyone could react, Finn delivered a devastating blow to Yasopp's side, sending him crashing into a nearby building. The impact reduced it to rubble, and Yasopp lay there, blood pooling beneath him.

"How dare you!" roared Larouqi, launching himself at Finn with a powerful punch.

Finn's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Well done!" His fist met Larouqi's with a resounding boom, the force of his Armament Haki shattering bones. Larouqi's body flew backward like a ragdoll, bouncing across the ground before slamming into another building.

The entire skirmish had taken less than two seconds, yet in that short span, Finn had taken down two of the Red Hair Pirates' strongest men.

"It's getting boring," Finn yawned, his voice dripping with disdain. "None of you can put up a decent fight. Time to end this."

The remaining cadres charged at him, weapons flashing. But Finn simply leapt into the air, his body expanding twenty times its size.

Expansion Jutsu · Twentyfold!

Hovering above, Finn unleashed a series of rapid-fire Finger Pistols, each strike carrying the destructive force of a cannon. The ground below erupted in chaos as the blasts rained down, leaving craters in their wake.

Shanks, wielding his sword with both hands, managed to cut through the incoming blasts. But his crew wasn't as lucky; the rest were knocked out cold, sprawled across the battlefield like fallen soldiers.

Finn shrank back to his original size, descending gracefully. "Now it's your turn, Shanks."

Drawing his blade, Yan Mo, he lunged forward. "Ever seen a sword technique that falls from the sky?"

Shanks met the strike with his famed saber, Gryphon, but the sheer force of Finn's attack drove him to his knees.

"Gah! Finn!" Shanks roared, struggling against the pressure. Blood trickled down his arms as he strained to hold his ground.

"Give up, Shanks. I don't want to kill you, but I will if I must."

Shanks, panting heavily, looked up with a grimace. "Finn, what the hell is this about? Is it really just because of Makino?"

Finn's eyes flared with anger. "Yes, that's part of it. But it goes deeper. Eight years ago, you led Luffy down the path of piracy. You knew my grandfather wanted us to become Marines, yet you selfishly pushed him to chase after your dreams!"

Shanks shouted back, "You don't understand! Luffy has a destiny—"

"Shut up! Not everyone cares about some stupid prophecy! For our grandfather, seeing the three of us grow up healthy was his greatest wish! And I won't let anyone trample on that!"

Finn's rage reached a boiling point. He slammed Shanks into the ground with a deafening crash, leaving a crater where the Pirate Emperor once stood.

The battlefield fell silent, the only sound being the crackling of energy around Finn.

"From this day forward, the seas will remember the name Finn. And no one, not even the Four Emperors, will stand in my way."
