Chapter 104

——————————

"The Ice Cream Assassin's Backstab": The Ice Cream Hero's attack is magical damage, forcing the target to feel a chilling heart-deep cold for three minutes, during which they will sink into melancholy and self-doubt, losing all interest in anything!;

——————————

The system itself has acknowledged the charm of Seven Water City!

But...

What is this Ice Cream Assassin?

A character from some anime?

Still, this ability is truly impressive—it can rival the Negative Ghost of the Ghost-Ghost Fruit.

Sima Di glanced at Luffy, who was eagerly excited, and silently activated this technique.

An ice cream appeared in his hand, engraved with the character "Xue."

Sima Di used telekinesis to propel the ice cream straight into Luffy's back, slipping into him without any obstruction.

In an instant,

Luffy, who had just been shouting "This city is so beautiful," suddenly slumped, head drooping, eyes filled with world-weary despair.

"What's the point? It's just a city with fountains. Fix it quickly and let's leave," Luffy said coldly.

Such a negative remark was something Luffy had never said before.

This shocked everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates!

Robin and the others who had seen Sima Di's backstab now turned to look at Sima Di....

"Just testing a newly developed ability—it calms someone down for three minutes," Sima Di said casually.

The others' eyes lit up!

Calm someone down?

This ability is tailor-made for dealing with troublemaking Luffy!

Some even suspected...

"Sima, isn't this ability specifically designed for Luffy?" Nami guessed.

After all, Luffy's "intermittent chaos-making" personality made Nami the biggest victim.

"Definitely!" Sanji declared.

"Great! Finally someone who can rein in Luffy!" Usopp wept.

"Sima, from now on we're counting on you!"

Seeing everyone so delighted, Sima Di couldn't help but flash a mischievous smile.

Then...

"Wait!"

"Sima, what are you doing?!"

"Don't come near me!!!"

Except for the girls, and Kurokasi, who dodged with raw power.

Everyone else stood in a line along the ship's edge, their expressions downcast, as if they had lost all attachment to the world.

"I wish I could become a blade of grass."

"As a pirate hunter, I'm sorry."

"I even doubted my ancestors—I'm a disgraceful descendant!"

Watching them "self-reflect," Robin and the others couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

Kurokasi, however, stared at Sima Di with dread, terrified he'd launch another ambush!

He'd built his lifelong reputation—he didn't want it ruined here!

The Golden Mary was about to enter Seven Water City amid this strange atmosphere.

A fisherman spotting the pirate ship didn't flee first.

Instead, he warned: "Pirate ships entering openly like this will cause trouble—take the back alley."

He even kindly pointed out the direction of the back alley.

"Sorry for causing you trouble!"

Luffy and the others lined up and bowed deeply to the helpful citizen.

This startled the man even more!

He abandoned his fishing gear and bolted away in panic!

"Did we just run into a bunch of lunatics?"

"It's all my fault for speaking up!" 0.9

"Don't let them remember us!"

Well then!

Look how scared they got?

The three minutes were over, but Luffy and the others didn't rage—they fell into eerie silence.

Just like when they first experienced "Blessing," choosing to lie still and pretend to be dead.

"Hey, you guys dock up—I'm gonna go explore first."

Sima Di waved goodbye and flew directly to Seven Water City with Robin and Vivi.

Kurokasi also found an excuse and fled with Laboon.

Only Nami, as navigator, had nowhere to escape and could only cautiously stay alert.

Seconds later,

The few of them finally exploded!

"Damn it! To use that move on me!"

"We must make Lord Sima pay the price!"

"How about we sneak up on him tonight and do him in?"

"I'll draw my blades! Four of them!"

"If that's not enough, the kitchen cleaver works too!"

"Among the evidence I brought, there are also golden blades and swords, still usable."

26. Robin's Choice! Betrayal or Bond?

Sima Di, with Robin and Vivi, openly flew above Water 7, admiring this city on the water.

The crisscrossing waterways were the main thoroughfares; the main channels were wide enough for giant battleships to pass through, but the labyrinthine smaller paths, limited by width, could only be navigated by creatures called "Bubbles" pulling small boats through the city.

"How fun." Vivi said coquettishly: "Sima-chan, let's go try it too."

At some point,

Vivi had also started calling Sima Di "Sima-chan" along with Robin.

The relationship between the two was missing only that one "membrane."

Sima Di wasn't in a hurry either; after all, with the big sister taking care of his needs, there really wasn't much overflow.

"If you want to ride it, then go ride it." Sima Di said affectionately.

They immediately found a shop renting out Bubbles, rented a medium-sized one, and although the three of them sitting down had plenty of room to spare, they still squeezed together—precisely speaking, the two women sandwiched Zhuge Lan.

—Sima Di vaguely remembered, seemed like someone had said something about touring this city with one on each arm?

Whatever, it's not important.

"The houses here all have raised foundations."

"No wonder it's called Water 7, it really is a city on the water."
