Chapter 190

Silence fell on the other end for several seconds.

"You know now too?"

"If I didn't know, were you planning to keep it hidden from me forever?"

"Ace is my son now. Rescuing him is the Whitebeard Pirates' business; it has nothing to do with you."

"That's Roger's son! How can it have nothing to do with me?" Lei Li shouted angrily.

Silence fell again for several seconds.

"I understand... We are about to reach Fish-Man Island. Come down and rendezvous with us... This trip to Marineford will likely be a one-way journey. Old man, think it through carefully."

"Hahaha—Isn't that exactly what you want?" Lei Li laughed loudly: "However, this time I must bring a few little ones. Their captain is Ace's younger brother, the Straw Hat Pirates' Monkey D. Luffy..."

"Luffy, the kid? Ace mentioned him often... He seems to be one of the new generation Supernovas? But is it appropriate for them to join a battle of this level..."

"They are the ones who killed over a hundred Celestial Dragons and even pushed back that brat Huang Yuan. Their combat power might be even stronger than you, you sickly old ghost." Lei Li teased.

"Oh? Gurarara—Then bring them! I will wait for him at Fish-Man Island to defeat me, Gurarara—"

"Kacha—"

Bai Hu Zi hung up the phone directly.

"Oh? Gurarara—Then bring them! I will wait for him at Fish-Man Island to defeat me, Gurarara—"

Lei Li looked at Sima Di and said, "I heard your ability can do anything. Do us a favor; we need to finish the coating quickly and head to Fish-Man Island."

Sima Di: "......"

Franky, standing nearby, whistled while looking up at the sky.

Completely unaware of who said that!

Basic ten thousand characters. The author is taking a break to play mahjong, hehehe...

Extra chapter tomorrow!

67. Lei Li Can't Lift a Stone Hammer! Diamond Big Blessing!

Thanks to Franky, this "informant," the Going Merry was quickly coated.

The process was roughly...

Lei Li explained the principle and function of the coating to Sima Di. Sima Di used his Spirit Word ability to materialize it. After Lei Li inspected it, he gave Sima Di a thumbs-up and commented...

"What a convenient ability!"

Sima Di: "......"

Knew that would be the evaluation!

Sima Di gnashed his teeth, ignoring the old rascal who was deliberately teasing him.

"Hahaha—Now that's more like a young person! Calculating this and that all day long isn't very vibrant at all." Lei Li laughed loudly.

"Yeah, Di, occasionally you should act a bit childish too." Usopp complained: "I came first, yet why am I completely at your mercy?"

Even Usopp, who feared death the most, drank the Super God Water under Sima Di's pressure, a drink that could potentially be fatal.

This was something he would never have dared to imagine in the past.

"Usopp, you've gotten bold, daring to mock me?" Sima Di raised an eyebrow: "I may have no way to deal with that old man Lei Li, but I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Usopp: *T_T*

Usopp: *Speechless*

"Di! I was wrong! Please forgive me! You forcing me was for my own good! Really!" Usopp wept bitterly.

He surrendered and knelt in seconds.

The Straw Hat Pirates found it amusing and didn't think anything was wrong.

Sima Di is both wise and brave, and the core brain with the most authority on the ship; messing with him is like playing a game, isn't it?

"Hey, Usopp, knowing Di's terror, why did you go provoke him?" Zoro said helplessly.

"I think his strength increased, so he got swollen-headed." Sanji said with a pout.

As the first one to be slapped away by the Tyrant Kuma, seeing Usopp one-shot kill the Tyrant Kuma made him lose face greatly.

"By the way, the effect of Usopp's Super God Water lasted for more than a whole day, right? What improvement did you get?" Nami asked curiously.

Hearing this, Usopp couldn't help but put his hands on his hips again.

But seeing Sima Di raise an eyebrow, he quickly put them down.

"Hehe—This time it was a huge harvest. I awakened Observation Haki, and I possess the same clairvoyance ability as that old man Clokas. How amazing is that?" Usopp said proudly.

This actually surprised everyone a bit.

Besides Clokas and Sima Di on the ship, Usopp was the third to awaken Observation Haki, and he came with a "trait" right upon awakening...

This proves his talent is very strong!

"Not bad. This is a trait relatively more suitable for a sniper." Clokas agreed.

"Oh? Relatively? What trait is the most suitable?" Usopp asked sharply.

"That is the one-in-a-million Precognition trait. It allows one to learn future intelligence in advance and gain the upper hand in battle." Clokas sighed: "However, the Precognition trait can be acquired later. As long as one trains Observation Haki to the extreme, there is a probability of awakening it."

Predicting the future in advance?

Usopp's eyes lit up!

Isn't this a sniper's ultimate weapon?

If he could awaken it...

With clairvoyance, enemies have nowhere to hide; with precognition, he can predict enemy dodges making them unavoidable. Isn't this an "aimbot"?

"I will definitely awaken the Precognition trait!" Usopp said with full energy.

Everyone smiled and offered a few words of encouragement.

Usopp, who was born with this innate trait, does have the possibility of training his Observation Haki to its absolute peak.

"Alright, preparations are done." Lei Li called out: "Let's set off right now."

"Oh?" Sima Di seized the chance to tease: "Not going to say goodbye to your better half?"

"No need. It's been over half a year since I went back anyway, a few more days won't make a difference." Lei Li said breezily.

However......

This trip, I really don't know if we can come back in one piece!

Sima Di silently activated his spiritual scan, locked onto Xia Qi's position, and started the mind link.

Xia Qi: 【"Who are you?"】

Sima Di: 【"Xia Qi, it's me, Sima Di. This is my ability. Lei Li is preparing to say goodbye to you."】

Lei Li looked at Sima Di with a strange expression—You have this kind of ability too?

It really is......

Sima Di: 【"Old man! If you dare say that line one more time, I'll tell Xia Qi there's a Lip Print on your back!"】

Lei Li: 【"......"】

You this......

Haven't you already told her?

But Lei Li didn't really mind.

Lei Li: 【"Xia Qi, Ace is Luo Jie's son. I'm preparing to head to Fishman Island now to meet up with Edward, to go rescue Ace."】

He said it as if it were nothing, like saying "I'm just going out for a stroll."

Xia Qi: 【"Mm, I understand."】

The reply on this end was equally casual.

Then......

The two of them ran out of things to say.

What's going on?

Aren't they supposed to be a couple?

Don't want......
