Chapter 107

Facing Facing Nami and Robin were both shocked!

Two people fighting could actually make a city disappear?

This is just...

But then, looking at the display before them...

Alright,

the facts were right in front of them; it seemed it was indeed possible!

So then...

were Lord Lord Sima Di and Garp planning to keep fighting?

39. The brand new Going Merry! Facing Facing Nami covets Lord Lord Sima Di's...

In the end,

the battle between Lord Lord Sima Di and Garp stopped at that one punch.

After all, Lord Lord Sima Di only wanted to test his combat power; he had no intention of demolishing Water 7 and having to rebuild it—if he broke it, he wouldn't even have to think about being forced into hard labor.

"Hahaha—kid! Next time we meet, we'll have to decide who's better~!" Garp laughed loudly.

Lord Lord Sima Di just smiled without a word.

He still had several trump cards he hadn't used—for instance, the weakening effect of the "Expert Appraisal Technique"—this move was even more effective against those specialized in martial arts.

Unfortunately,

Garp was Luffy's grandfather after all; using such a ruthless move on one of his own didn't feel quite right.

However, after this battle,

Lord Lord Sima Di had a rough understanding of his own combat power.

—In his normal state, he was at the level of a Vice Admiral; using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms for a burst of power gave him Admiral-level combat strength, but it wasn't sustainable.

—Going all out, he could suppress an Admiral, but couldn't kill one.

If he disregarded the consequences, though...

"It seems Seeing Seeing Kuzan was right to run away back then."

Garp just left like that.

This time, he didn't linger near the port to "see them off," clearly because he was at ease knowing Lord Lord Sima Di was there.

After that came peaceful days.

Lord Lord Sima Di took Robin and the other girl and disappeared directly, not giving Franky another chance to squeeze him—this guy was now even asking Lord Lord Sima Di to "print" ordinary materials!

It wasn't to save money or time; he just wanted to get annoyed enough to hit him with an "Expert Appraisal Technique."

—He was truly a pervert!

Half a month passed like this,

and the cooldown for the Time and Spirit Room teleportation stone was complete. Following Lord Lord Sima Di's previous arrangement, Sanji and Crocus entered it to cultivate.

The next day,

the two of them returned on time.

Crocus hadn't changed much, but Sanji's entire demeanor had transformed!

If he had been a refined gentleman before, now he could be called a "suit-wearing thug." Even though he was just standing there quietly, he was filled with an intimidating aura.

"Oh? Is this... awakened Conqueror's Haki?" Lord Lord Sima Di asked curiously.

This caused Sanji's aura to deflate, and he immediately gave Lord Lord Sima Di a resentful look—so he had been posing on purpose.

"Although he hasn't awakened Conqueror's Haki, Sanji the kid's talent for Armament Haki has reached the intermediate level, he has initially mastered the Wind God Legs, and he also learned the Navy Six Styles' Shave, Moonwalk, and Tempest Kick. This martial arts talent is quite good; he was just held back in the past."

Good heavens!

Facing Facing Nami and Vivi widened their eyes!

It was the same one year of time, how did you learn so much?

"Facing Facing Nami-san, I was cultivating with my life on the line so I could better protect you and everyone!" Sanji fawned.

A year of bitter cultivation, yet his true nature remained unchanged.

Crocus took out a bottle of Super God Water and tossed it to Lord Lord Sima Di.

"This was brought by a kid named Sun Sun Wukong who came in halfway. He's also a little monster; he could learn the Navy Six Styles and Wind God Legs just by watching. It's a pity we don't share a language, so we couldn't communicate," Crocus said regretfully.

"Sun Sun Wukong? Don't share a language?" Lord Lord Sima Di was a bit puzzled.

Aren't they all from Japanese manga? How could they not share a language?

"Come to think of it, it does seem that way," Vivi recalled. "When the God first communicated with us, he was speaking strange words too. Later, we could suddenly understand him, so we didn't pay much attention to it."

Then it must be a telepathic ability, communicating directly on a mental level.

He then thought,

Sun Sun Wukong learned the Navy Six Styles and Wind God Legs; he wondered if that would have too much of an impact on the plot...

Forget it, it had nothing to do with him.

In any case, he didn't plan on going to the Dragon Ball world in the short term—the power level gap was too large.

Lord Lord Sima Di held up the Super God Water and said, "Who wants to drink this time? There's only one person's portion."

Although he asked that, the only ones currently recognized as being able to drink it were Laboon and Chopper.

Laboon said directly, "I'll wait for next time; give it to Chopper this time."

Chopper felt a bit embarrassed.

But thinking about how he hadn't been able to help in the last few battles, and that shameful bounty amount...

"Then I won't be polite!" Chopper said politely.

He took the Super God Water, opened the bottle cap, but didn't drink it directly; instead, he poured some out and gave it to Crocus.

"Teacher Crocus, take this for your research."

The little guy still remembered that Crocus was researching the "Awakened Haki Potion."

Crocus smiled and accepted it.

Only then did Chopper drink the Super God Water in one gulp, and after enduring the pain to place the glass bottle on the deck, he lay down and rolled around everywhere.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts—"

It made everyone laugh.

To be so ritualistic while shouting in pain?

Having had Luffy's experience last time, everyone knew this Super God Water wouldn't be over in a short while.

They dispersed nearby to go about their own business.

Only Laboon and Crocus remained to look after Chopper.

It wasn't that they didn't care about Chopper, but this was a hurdle he had to overcome himself; others couldn't help.

Unexpectedly,

before Chopper had even finished absorbing the Super God Water, Franky was the first to come with good news!

"Super—Going Merry! Modification complete!"

"Oh?"

"So fast?"

"Let's go, let's go! Let's go take a look!"

Everyone swarmed toward Dock 1, not forgetting, of course, to bring along the exhausted, rolling Chopper.

All the shipwrights of Galley-La were on the scene, and behind them, covered by a red cloth, was an object over ten meters wide, over ten meters high, and over fifty meters long—clearly the modified Going Merry.

"Let me do the unveiling for everyone!" Franky said excitedly. "This is the—Super—Going Merry—that I designed with... my life's work!"

"Swish—"

The red cloth was pulled away,

revealing the completely transformed Going Merry. The first thing that caught the eye was the majestic lion head at the bow; the hull was made entirely of the slightly more stable Adam wood, and the bottom of the ship was wrapped in heavy Sea-Prism Stone.

"Everyone, go on up and take a look!" Franky invited.

The Straw Hat Pirates, whose eyes had been shining for a long time, boarded the ship in their own ways.
