I Choose In The One Piece Class, Do I Have A Choice?

"Steal money?"

The leader of the group stared at Finn in stunned silence for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Boy, you've got guts, I'll give you that," he said, tapping a thick wooden stick against his palm. "But you must be tired of living. I'll show you what it means to open your mouth and invite trouble!"

With a sharp motion, he signaled to his men. They surged forward.

Boom!

Half a second later, the group lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious. Finn dusted off his hands, completely unbothered.

From inside the casino came the unmistakable sounds of chaos—clattering coins, cracking wood, and muffled yells. Moments later, Finn stepped out, his demeanor calm.

Inside his system space? Over 140 million ryo, freshly acquired.

Meanwhile, on a dusty wilderness road, Tsunade trudged along, her stomach growling loudly.

"I'm starving..." she muttered, glancing around. The nearest city was still a day's journey away.

Tsunade sighed. She was used to this cycle—gamble everything away, leave the city in a rush, and avoid creditors by moving constantly. But today, she hadn't even had time to pack provisions.

Her stomach growled again, louder this time, and just as she was about to curse her luck, an enticing aroma wafted through the air.

"Wow, what smells so good?" she wondered, her nose leading her toward the source.

She turned—and froze.

There stood Finn, a smug grin on his face, holding a golden, juicy roast chicken.

"Smells good, doesn't it?" he teased, shaking the chicken slightly.

"You?" Tsunade's shock was palpable. She hadn't even sensed his approach.

"Surprised?" Finn asked, taking a bite of the chicken. "For a Sannin, you're pretty easy to sneak up on."

Tsunade's shock quickly turned to suspicion. "I underestimated you," she admitted. "You're stronger than you look."

Finn chuckled. "How else could I afford to lend money to the famous Tsunade, legendary gambler and… notorious debtor?"

Tsunade caught the drumstick he tossed her way. She sniffed it cautiously, then began eating without hesitation.

"It's not poisoned," Finn said, biting into another piece.

Tsunade swallowed a bite and looked at him thoughtfully. "You knew who I was when you lent me that money, didn't you?"

"Of course," Finn replied smoothly. "You looked pitiful at the time. I couldn't resist helping."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "And you also know I never pay my debts, don't you?"

Finn grinned. "I've heard the rumors. But your usual tricks don't work on me."

"Oh? And what are you going to do about it? Drag me back to the casino?"

Finn's grin widened. "No need. You're from Konoha, right? The village will pay. Consider the remaining 86.6 million their problem."

Tsunade's expression darkened. "Are you insane? You really think Konoha will cough up that kind of money for me?"

"Why not?" Finn said casually. "If not them, maybe your 'friends' will chip in. Or your master."

Tsunade's patience snapped. Her fist slammed into the ground, sending cracks spidering out across the dirt.

The air around her shifted as her chakra surged, the playful gambler from moments before replaced by an imposing figure radiating power.

"Careful, boy," Tsunade warned, stepping forward. "You don't want to test me."

Finn, unfazed, clapped his hands together, releasing his own aura. "Test you? I'd love to."

Tsunade smirked, her chakra flaring brighter. "Let me show you why they call me one of the Sannin!"

In an instant, she closed the distance between them, her fist aimed squarely at Finn's face.

Boom!

Their fists collided, unleashing a shockwave that tore through the earth and sent clouds spiraling into the sky. The ground cracked and crumbled beneath them, creating a deep fissure that split the landscape.

When the dust settled, Finn stood his ground, unmoving.

Tsunade, however, had been knocked back, skidding more than ten meters before landing on one knee. She pressed a hand to the ground for support, breathing heavily.

"Your strength…" she muttered, looking up at him. "It's monstrous."

Finn grinned, brushing dust off his sleeve. "If you think that's impressive, you should know—I wasn't even trying."

Tsunade's anger flared. "You arrogant—!"

Her hands moved in a blur as she undid the seal on her Strength of a Hundred technique, her chakra spiking to an even greater level.

"This ends now!" she roared, launching herself at Finn with renewed fury.
