Chapter 17

He carefully sensed the operating mechanism of the Conqueror's Haki, and with the Long Wei ability as a foundation, he managed to master this power bit by bit by following the template.

After roughly several minutes,

the Conqueror's Haki was only slowly retracted, and Sima Di's face showed a hint of fatigue; the double consumption of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability and the Conqueror's Haki was no small matter.

But his eyes were extraordinarily bright!

He had initially mastered the Conqueror's Haki.

After all, with a ready-made template at hand, and Long Wei allowing him to mobilize the most elusive momentum, the so-called "essence, qi, and spirit" was actually "spiritual power."

Sima Di could not help but smile.

Because he had discovered a "shortcut" to learning; from then on, he could completely use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability to once again manifest "Observation Haki" and "Armament Haki"—with a ready-made experience card in hand, how could he possibly fail to learn it?

One must know,

he now possessed 100% brain development, along with the peak wisdom of an ordinary person.

It was impossible that he couldn't learn it.

He touched his throat; it was still far from the point of losing his voice.

But his spirit was somewhat weary, so he would take it slowly later—there was no rush at this moment.

He'd wait until no one was around, then give himself a blessing to recover a bit.

"Mastered it?" Crocus now also came back to his senses, exclaiming in shock, "That was Conqueror's Haki just now, wasn't it? You actually awakened it just like that?"

Sima Di smiled without a word, silently taking a sip of beer to moisten his throat.

But this "calm and composed" demeanor greatly shocked Crocus!

This talent was simply too strong!

Was Luo Jie back then this powerful?

Could it be...

He, Crocus, was about to "bring out" another Pirate King?

15. Sanji Killed by a Face-Sit! Let Me Teach You How to Fight!

"Who is it!"

"How dare you lay a hand on my friends!"

"I will absolutely not let you off!"

Luffy's Dasang Sect-level roar shook the heavens, leaving Sima Di utterly speechless.

Still treating them as friends?

Really can't tell friend from foe at all, huh?

Just as he was about to explain,

Crocus, for some unknown purpose, pointed at Sima Di and said, "He did it."

Luffy immediately shot over a death glare.

Without a shred of doubt,

he directly questioned Sima Di: "Why did you lay a hand on our friends?"

Sima Di: "......"

"I will absolutely not let you off! Let's have a fight!" Luffy raged. "A person as ungrateful as you—I'll be the one to send you flying!"

Sima Di: "......"

Only when truly facing Luffy did one realize how utterly exasperating this guy was.

Nami, never one to shy away from a good show, cheerfully sipped her drink and watched from the sidelines.

Zoro, on the other hand, wanted to speak the truth, but was cut off by Crocus with a wave of his hand.

"Aren't you curious about the Sima kid's true strength?"

Zoro fell silent for a moment, turned around, sat down, and picked up his wine cup.

Sima Di shot Crocus an annoyed look—you old man, your scheming heart is truly wicked!

But he suddenly thought of an interesting move.

【Rubber Fruit!】

Sima Di's constitution immediately underwent a change, and with his brain at 100% development, he quickly grasped this transformation.

He casually whipped his arm out, firing it forward; midway, he puffed out circles that acted as pumps to accelerate his blood, his skin instantly flushing red and emitting steam, as if he had taken a stimulant.

Second Gear!

Sima Di experimentally stomped his feet in rapid succession, attempting to use Soru to blitz toward Luffy at high speed. Though the first attempt failed, it was still fast enough to exceed Luffy's reaction nerves.

"Boom!"

Luffy was kicked flying by Sima Di, crashing through a wooden cabin and being buried in the rubble.

But as a rubber man, Luffy was immune to ordinary blunt attacks.

He quickly flung off the debris on his body, glaring furiously at Sima Di.

"You actually developed the Rubber Fruit behind my back! And you won't even let me touch it!!!" he raged.

Sima Di helplessly held his forehead.

As expected, he still had to give him a good beating!

Ordinary fists don't hurt, huh?

【Armament Haki!】

Clenching his fist,

an invisible force enveloped his fist. Sima Di's figure flashed and vanished on the spot, reappearing right in front of Luffy.

"Soru!"

Tapping the ground dozens of times in an instant to generate explosive reactive force for high-speed movement, to the enemy's eyes it looked as if he had simply disappeared.

"Bam!"

A single punch wrapped in Armament Haki knocked Luffy completely senseless!

This time he didn't go flying; instead, he was bent over, half-kneeling on the ground, dry heaving.

"Ugh— why— ugh— does it hurt so much!!!"

He's clearly a rubber man—he shouldn't be afraid of blunt attacks!

Seeing Luffy in so much pain, Sima Di laughed too.

Now you know it hurts?

Too late!

Sima Di silently increased the intensity of his Word Spirit ability. The beginner-level Armament Haki instantly advanced to intermediate, and the fist enveloped in Armament Haki immediately became a "black fist"—one punch could make Luffy scream bloody murder!

If he can still yell, it means he's fine!

In his Second Gear state, Sima Di was bursting with energy, pummeling Luffy with both fists going like wind and fire wheels!

After venting his anger,

he finally let go of the unrecognizable Luffy, waving a hand to send him a ray of Holy Light.

"Beat you up and then bless you—I'm really a good person!"

The Holy Light enveloped Luffy, and the groaning him let out comfortable moans.

"Ah~"

"Oh~"

That soul-stirring commotion......

Anyone who didn't know,

would think Sima Di had done something inhumane to him!

The other members knew Sima Di was healing Luffy, but Kloakass's gaze turned rather strange.

Sima Di couldn't be bothered to explain,

Just as he was about to dismiss his Word Spirit ability and Second Gear, a sudden scream rang out, followed by a dense barrage of explosions.
