Chapter 183

Fire Fist Ace is the son of the Pirate King?

Lei Li, who had been slacking off just moments ago, appeared before Luffy in an instant, staring fixedly into his eyes.

"Straw Hat, what did you just say? Luo Jie's son is named Ace? Fire Fist Ace?"

"Ah, yeah, is there a problem?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

What's there to make such a fuss about?

Who doesn't have a father with a mysterious identity!

Everyone fell silent.

Sima Di said at the right moment, "Ace has been arrested by the Marines and is about to be beheaded at Marineford. What do you think—that grand display is aimed at the Whitebeard Pirates? Or have they already learned of Ace's identity?"

The seasoned Lei Li only needed a hint to grasp Sima Di's plan.

"You want to join forces with the Whitebeard Pirates and storm Marine Headquarters, Marineford?" Lei Li said in a low voice.

"So I need an Admiral to test our combat strength, and to give us the capital to negotiate with Whitebeard." Sima Di nodded.

Lei Li looked at Sima Di deeply.

This son of Lord Sima......

Terrifying!

Bold and cunning, even more so than his younger self.

In this Straw Hat crew, he saw the shadow of the old Luo Jie Pirates.

"Hahahaha—"

"Interesting!"

"Far too interesting!"

"Never thought that before I die, I'd still get a chance to visit Marineford—this life has been worth it!"

"Since you want to cause a ruckus, this old man will join the fun!"

"Leave contacting Whitebeard to me, but......"

"You have to stay alive first."

As the words fell......

"Whoosh—"

A golden ray of light suddenly shot in, aimed straight at Sima Di!

"Boom!"

The golden ray was dodged by Sima Di at the last possible instant using the Rabbit Talisman's speed, landing on the auction stage and coalescing into a human form—a sleazy man in a yellow-and-white striped suit.

Admiral Huang Yuan has arrived on the battlefield.

Borsalino's gaze swept across the corpse-strewn scene, paused briefly on Crocus, and finally settled on Lei Li.

"Yo—"

"Dark King Lei Li?"

"And the Ghost Ship Doctor Crocus?"

"What terrifying opponents indeed."

Borsalino's tone was languid; on the surface he seemed to be praising his opponents, yet it gave one the distinct impression of mockery.

In short—it sounded very punchable.

"Although I'd love to beat you up too, today's opponent isn't me." Lei Li pointed at the Straw Hat Pirates: "It's them."

"Oh?"

Only now did Borsalino properly regard the Straw Hat Pirates, tilting his head, scratching his head, and frowning—a triple combo.

"The Thirteen Supernovas? Looks like I'm being looked down on."

Supernovas?

Just some relatively promising pirates—how dare they challenge an Admiral?

Sima Di calmly smoothed his hair, activated his Gel Hand to make every strand stand on end, opened the Golden Treasury from which pieces of gilded battle armor flew out, clanking as they equipped Sima Di. The wings on his back were half demonic bone wings, half angelic feathered wings.

Wicked yet holy!

It was the battle armor Sima Di had crafted for combat based on the Sagittarius God Cloth, using Vibranium mixed with Seastone.

In short—made specifically for showing off.

Then he gripped the Bankai Hyourinmaru, ice dragons coiled at his sides, twelve crimson lotus ice crystals stood before the Golden Treasury.

The whole person looked as cool as a god descending, making everyone present stare unblinkingly.

"So, so cool!" Luffy exclaimed: "Where's mine? Where's mine? I want one too!"

"Oh my, looks quite impressive." Borsalino praised.

Lei Li and Crocus exchanged a glance, both seeing admiration in each other's eyes.

More than just impressive?

Sima Di's aura had completely transformed, from the plain simplicity of a sheathed blade to the sharp edge of an unsheathed one, giving even the two of them a sense of danger!

"Borsalino, you don't want your subordinates slaughtered by me, do you?"

After saying something cryptic, Sima Di took Luffy and turned to fly away.

It looked as though he was leaving the Straw Hat Pirates to Borsalino's disposal, but Borsalino glanced at Lei Li and Crocus, and without any hesitation chased after Sima Di.

Just as Sima Di had said...

If he stayed behind, he'd surely be entangled by Lei Li and Kuloakas, but Sima Di could go on a rampage through the Marines!

Borsalino had no choice but to go along with Sima Di's wishes.

At the port of Tree Island No. 1,

Sima Di openly brought Luffy here, landing right in front of a fleet of warships.

His blade pointed forward,

The twin-winged ice dragon spewed freezing dragon breath blasting toward the warships — not to kill them outright, but to force the watching Borsalino to act.

"Whoosh—"

Borsalino flashed in front of the warships, raised his hand and fired a laser beam that collided with the freezing dragon breath.

"Boom—"

The searing light and the freezing cold spread outward, freezing half the sea surface and evaporating the other half.

Borsalino flashed to Sima Di's side, his lazy drawl drifting over.

"Yo, have you ever been kicked by light?"

"Light-Speed Kick!"

A dazzling streak of light kicked toward Sima Di, but Sima Di didn't retreat at all — his free left hand rose, palm striking out a five-clawed black-gold dragon!

"Proud Dragon Repents!"

"Roar—"

"Whoosh—"

Borsalino's Light-Speed Kick collided with the five-clawed black-gold dragon. The supremely confident Borsalino never expected Sima Di's palm strike to carry such terrifying force — caught off guard, he was blasted away!

And that wasn't even enough,

The five-clawed black-gold dragon roared, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Borsalino!

Borsalino had no choice but to use "Yata Mirror," turning into a beam of light that refracted several times through the air, using the speed of light to dodge the five-clawed black-gold dragon's pursuit.

"This... it's condensed from Armament Haki? Not a Devil Fruit ability?"

Shock flashed across Borsalino's face!

What kind of technique is this?

Armament Haki can even be used like this?

"This of yours... is Armament Haki?" Borsalino asked, puzzled.

Sima Di glanced at Luffy, who still wasn't ready — might as well trade a few words with you.

"Your application of Armament Haki is far too shallow — like using a Devil Fruit to bludgeon someone, utterly foolish," Sima Di said with contempt.
