Chapter 194

"Cough!" Lei Li's gaze turned dangerous as he fixed on Sima Di: "Kid, weren't you just saying you'd treat this old man?"

Bai Hu Zi turned his gaze toward Sima Di, studying him closely.

"You're the brat who drove back Borsalino, aren't you?" Bai Hu Zi spoke up: "Not bad—heroes emerge in youth. You're far stronger than Lei Li was back then, running from Karp like a dog across the whole world."

Tsk!

So what if he's the strongest man in the world?

Still holds a grudge.

Got one retort from Lei Li and he's clung to it ever since, spilling other people's secrets.

But this was their two elders' little amusement—these youngsters clearly had no business butting in.

"Let me see what's going on," said Sima Di.

He gathered his spiritual energy into a scan, sweeping over Bai Hu Zi with greater clarity than an X-ray, then raised his hand and projected a 3D model of Bai Hu Zi into the air—multiple colored zones lit up, densely covering nearly his entire body.

"White is normal, but don't bother looking—it's almost nonexistent."

"Gray is damaged tissue—damn, it's everywhere!"

"Black is necrotic—both lungs and kidneys are gone, and a small part of the heart is damaged too."

"Tsk! How are you even still alive? I can't imagine how terrifying your vitality must've been in your prime."

Sima Di shook his head in awe.

In essence,

Bai Hu Zi was now in a "dying" state, yet he still ate and drank normally, and even caused chaos during the Marineford War, punching Sakazuki so hard he nearly buried him alive.

In his prime...

What kind of monstrous creature would he have been?

Though Sima Di spoke harshly, his professional display gave the Whitebeard Pirates hope.

Marco eagerly asked: "Exactly right! Can you heal him? Whatever you need—anything at all—we'll get it, just cure the Old Man!"

Sima Di glanced at Marco, then shook his head.

"These injuries would've healed on their own if you'd been in your prime. The reason they're this bad now... is simply because your bodily functions have declined."

"Put plainly—he's old."

This blunt statement caused the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew to turn pale!

"Damn it! What the hell are you saying?" Captain of the Third Division, "Diamond" Jozu roared: "The Old Man isn't old! He can live another hundred years!"

Tsk!

Sima Di gave Jozu a sidelong glance: Do you even believe that yourself?

That scornful look enraged Jozu—he activated his ability, coating his body in diamond, ready to teach this brat a proper lesson.

"Gurururara—Jozu, stand down," Bai Hu Zi ordered: "I know my own body. This kid's right—I'm just old."

"But Old Man..."

"Hmm?"

Seeing Bai Hu Zi about to lose his temper, Jozu reluctantly stepped back—but his eyes glared fiercely at Sima Di.

This isn't over!

Sima Di sighed and looked at Marco, who remained perfectly calm.

"Managing this pirate crew must be exhausting," Sima Di remarked.

Marco could only sigh—he was the eldest, what could he do?

"You still have a way, don't you?" Marco stated firmly: "Otherwise you wouldn't have wasted your breath saying all this."

They'd only just met minutes ago, yet Marco seemed to understand Sima Di perfectly.

Or rather—

He understood clever people extremely well!

In the past, Sima Di might've been helpless—the Bai Yin Blessing wasn't omnipotent.

But...

Hadn't he just obtained the Diamond Great Blessing?

"Alright, there is a way," Sima Di shrugged: "But..."

Marco nodded, then turned to Jozu.

"Jozu, apologize."

The man who had just been glaring with "I'll kill you later" in his eyes immediately bowed his head—

"Sorry! I was reckless just now! Punish me however you want! Please, heal the Old Man!"

This family...

Was quite interesting.

"My method is simple, but it'll have a few side effects—if you're injured or ill, stay behind and I'll treat you too; everyone else who's healthy, please step aside," Sima Di offered kindly.

After all...

The Bai Yin Blessing alone had made the Straw Hat Pirates turn pale.

When the Diamond Great Blessing kicks in...

The scene will be spectacular!

"As this young brother says, those unrelated to the treatment, please step back," Marco repeated.

Yet he himself stood rooted, showing no intention to move.

It wasn't because he was ill or doubted Sima Di.

As an Animal-Type, specifically a Mythical Zoan, capable of rebirth through fire, no one in the Whitebeard Pirates was healthier than he was.

He was just curious......

How exactly is Sima Di going to treat it?

The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates also showed no intention of moving.

There were those who doubted, those who were curious, and those who truly had problems.

But the Straw Hat Pirates all ran off at top speed!

Rayleigh had originally planned to stay and watch the show, but Kurokasi dragged him away directly.

Stay and watch the show?

Don't end up becoming the joke everyone's watching!

69. The Secret Between Whitebeard and His Sons

In the hall, besides Sima Di, not a single member of the Whitebeard Pirates left—they all stayed behind.

Sima Di could only smile helplessly.

"Sigh...... I really didn't want it to be like this......"

"To wipe them all out at once~......"

"That's way too interesting!"

Sima Di silently pulled out his phone and turned on the recording function.

How could one not record such a brilliant moment?

Diamond Blessing, go!

He raised his hand,

A vast amount of holy light spilled from his body, splashing toward the ceiling of the hall, gathering into a cluster of holy light clouds that spread outward.

Sima Di couldn't help but step back repeatedly, afraid of being engulfed within its range.

The Straw Hat Pirates also retreated in sync!

"Sss—"

"So big?"

"It seems Sima Di really held back on us before."

"Where's the recording phone worm? Hurry, hurry! This is Whitebeard Pirates' dirty secret!"

"Run! The cloud's spreading toward us!"
