Chapter 126
Not to mention these originally belonged to Sima Di, so it was perfectly fine for him to arrange them.
Moreover, when it came to leg techniques, no one else was truly as proficient as Sanji.
Sanji took the "Nie Feng's Wind God Leg Manual," flipped it open intending to take a quick glance, and it transformed into a streak of flowing light that merged into his brow.
The related moves, as well as the Circulating Energy routes, all surfaced in his mind.
Only, regrettably,
Sanji had not yet awakened Haki, so he couldn't cultivate it for now.
Sima Di looked at the "DNF +10 Equipment Enhancement Scroll" and briefly explained its "principle."
"This is a byproduct I accidentally obtained while researching the separation agent for Devil Fruits. It's a portion of my condensed ability, which can be bestowed upon a weapon, making it sharper and sturdier, and it will also have a special attribute... and that is, any wound inflicted by this weapon will necrotize and lose vitality...."
There was no need to elaborate on this effect; everyone looked at Zoro.
Zoro, however, frowned and said: "Di, you're also a swordsman..."
"Are you sure?" Sima Di raised an eyebrow and said: "I still haven't solved the problem of having my bare-handed blade catch the moment I draw a sword... how about you help me test it again?"
With the passive of being able to catch a blade bare-handed with a hundred percent certainty, Sima Di could forget about becoming a swordsman in this lifetime.
Zoro fell silent upon hearing this.
Once, in his youthful ignorance, he had spotted Sima Di wearing a blade and immediately wanted to spar with him.
As for the result...
The floor was very hard, and the blade was very cold.
"Alright, I got it." Zoro took the "DNF +10 Equipment Enhancement Scroll."
Without hesitation, he directly drew the Wado Ichimonji and, following Sima Di's instructions, affixed the enhancement scroll to it.
A flash of five-colored light blazed!
After lasting for several seconds,
The five-colored light vanished, and the surface of Wado Ichimonji carried a faint halo, and when swung, it would leave trails of afterimages.
At a glance, it was clearly extraordinary!
Zoro gave it a few simple tests, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"The current Wado Ichimonji has been promoted from a Great Grade Sword to the level of a Supreme Grade Great Sword!"
Everyone was astonished!
One must know that there were only twelve Supreme Grade Great Swords in the world, and Sima Di had upgraded one with a single "scroll"?
Just...
"Truly a convenient Devil Fruit ability!" Crocus remarked once again.
If they had had Sima Di as a companion back then, it would surely have saved them a lot of trouble.
"Who says it isn't." Franky lecherously stroked his big belly.
Sima Di: "..."
Tired, let it all be destroyed.
He hurriedly ate a few bites of food,
Sima Di didn't even bring Robin and the other girl along, and simply slipped away directly.
Afraid of being conscripted again!
Robin said with a mix of tears and laughter: "Franky, look how scared you've made Sima-chan..."
Franky, however, showed absolutely no intention of mending his ways.
Instead, he set his sights on Robin and Vivi!
"Nicole??? h???
Goodness!
Does this guy conscript anyone he catches?
And besides...
Are you sure Sima Di is avoiding you not because of the "too perverted" element in you?
Sima Di didn't know his own women had been targeted. At this moment, he arrived at a tavern, leaned against the ship's side, drinking a little wine and enjoying the sea breeze, pondering the possibility of "Haki Martial Art moves."
As the saying goes, "actual combat is the best way to test everything," so he prepared to first Reveal a Martial Art move.
Then...
Which one should he reveal first?
Over 3100 characters! Extra chapter tonight!
Thanks: "Void Black Hole," "Gate of Time 2000," "555," "13398..," "yy Tianfeng," "Missing lsp," "Tianming 001."
36. Revealing a Wu Xia Move! Crocus's Strength!!
Which one should he reveal first?
Immortal arts and Daoist techniques and the like, Sima Di was definitely not considering them for now.
Not to mention whether he could reveal them, the level of his Haki was probably insufficient to drive immortal arts and Daoist techniques.
Flying Snow across the sky shoots the White Deer, smilingly writing of divine knights leaning on the green Mandarin ducks.
These 14 characters each corresponded to a work, constructing a grand Wu Xia world.
What Sima Di wanted to reveal, he would choose from among them.
First, it had to be cool!
After all, being cool is a lifelong matter.
Second, it had to be strong!
What's the point of him struggling to materialize a martial art that isn't strong enough?
And then...
That's it.
Although if this Wu Gong could be cultivated, it might be passed down to the Straw Hat Pirates.
But Sima Di would not accommodate them for that reason; prioritizing himself is the core.
Once it's confirmed feasible,
he could also materialize one tailored specifically for them.
In that case...
a set of Wu Gong leaped into his mind, causing Sima Di to choose to materialize it without hesitation—
【Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms Wu Gong Mental Art!】
No movement.
As expected, the simple Power of Words ability still cannot materialize it.
Then—
【"Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms Wu Gong Mental Art!"】
Under the boost of Dragon Spirit Language,
information related to "Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms" immediately flooded his mind.
Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms is one of the most supreme Wu Gong in Jin Yong's Wu Xia novels; the movements are simple and ordinary, yet every move is infinitely powerful.
It specializes in countering flashy tricks!
Regardless of whether the enemy's moves are real or fake, varied in form, or constantly changing, just give the enemy one move of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms: one force conquers ten skills!
The power is leveraged!
And as the "signature Wu Gong" of Jin Yong's novels, the "special effects" of Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms are also dazzlingly magnificent.
With a mere gesture, golden dragons roar forth; it's simply too cool!
After digesting the Wu Gong information, Sima Di healed himself.
"This Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms... truly is extreme simplicity; as long as one has deep internal energy to activate it, there are no thresholds."
It really is learnable at a glance!
But...
Can Haki activate it?
Sima Di took a small stack of Berries from the Golden Treasury, dropped them, and 14 flew out the window to the nearby sea surface; secretly Circulating Energy, he let Haki flow along the Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms path and struck the sea surface with his right palm—
"Soaring Dragon with Regret!"
