Chapter 219

Sima Di, however, paid her no mind.

Sanji eagerly stepped forward, saying, "Hi~ Welcome, welcome~ I am the ship's cook, and also your loyal knight!"

Hancock merely glanced at him, which counted as her response.

Sanji didn't mind; on the contrary, he was very excited.

The others also introduced themselves one by one.

Throughout the entire time, Hancock only glanced over; for Robin and Vivi, the two women, she even chose to ignore them directly.

It could be said she was arrogant to the extreme.

But Sima Di had no intention of making Hancock change her ways.

Because Hancock's Conqueror's Haki is the arrogance of firmly believing she possesses the "world's most beautiful appearance," so she has no ambition to contend for the world, but if anyone dares to question her beauty...

the outcome will surely be miserable.

"Everyone, please bear with her; her personality and strength are related to her Devil Fruit; it cannot be changed." Sima Di explained.

"Everyone has a few quirks." Crocus smoothed things over, saying, "For instance, Usopp is very cowardly and afraid of trouble."

Usopp: "......"

Why use such a strange example?

"Aaaah—I understand! I'm a pervert myself." Franky chimed in.

Only Franky could have such clear self-awareness.

The crowd also relaxed their minds accordingly.

Luffy's foolishness,

Sanji's lechery,

Zoro's sense of directionlessness,

everyone has flaws that need others' tolerance.

"Let's go." Sima Di, rarely, opened his telekinetic field, lifting everyone up: "The banquet should begin; this time, we won't leave until we're drunk!"

The banquet venue was quite outrageous; it was chosen at Tree Island No. 1.

That's right!

It is Tree Island No. 1, where Sima Di slaughtered over a hundred Celestial Dragons!

Moreover, they were openly holding a banquet; anyone with an interest could investigate and find that the Whitebeard Pirates, the Luo Jie Pirates, and the Straw Hat Pirates were holding a "victory banquet" right here.

Everyone thought they had gone mad!

"Even with four Emperors and the former Pirate King's crew, this is the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"Right next to the Holy Land Mary Geoise; don't these pirates fear the Navy and the World Government's encirclement and suppression?"

"Truly so brazen; within half a day, they won't be able to laugh!"

The world's public had extremely limited channels for obtaining information; the new day's newspaper hadn't arrived yet, so the news of the fall of Marineford hadn't spread.

Navy and World Government pincer attack?

First, there is no Navy,

all ships in Marineford were destroyed, and the elites there are still trapped on the Bingdao created by Seeing Kuzan, surviving by fishing.

Relying solely on the World Government...

"Gurarara—Di kid, you really are bold!" Whitebeard laughed loudly, "Celebrating right under the Celestial Dragons' noses? Aren't you afraid Mary Geoise will truly mobilize everything?"

"The World Government doesn't just have CP0; they hide many secrets. If they truly make up their minds, it won't end as well as the Summit War." Rayleigh warned.

But Sima Di merely shrugged indifferently.

"With our three pirate crews here, can we hold out for three days?" Sima Di said casually.

"Three days?" Marco hesitated, "It should be fine, right? Old Man is in his prime now, and there's your healing ability, Sima Di... Are you talking about the other three Emperor crews?"

Once Marco pointed it out, Rayleigh and the others also figured it out.

The Red Hair Pirates are right nearby; they haven't gone far yet.

If a great final battle were to start, he surely wouldn't stand idly by.

And if the battle drags into a war of attrition, would BIG? OM and Kaido sit and do nothing?

Even if they don't know the principle that "when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold," but if the World Government fully encircles our three pirate crews, their rear defenses must be empty; can BIG? OM and Kaido resist such a golden opportunity?

The probability is that they will take advantage of the fire to steal!

By then, the scene will surely be extremely chaotic; will other pirates come to join in?

And facing this opportunity to topple the World Government, wouldn't the Revolutionary Army seize it?

By then, who is encircling whom is uncertain.

"Hey, hey, what are you guys talking about?" Luffy mumbled while chewing meat, "What does this have to do with the other three Emperor crews?"

Hmm...

"The Straw Hat Pirates only have Di kid; otherwise, truly, who knows what would..." Crocus couldn't help but shake his head.

Nami and the others all nodded in agreement.

With a captain like this...

it truly makes one's heart tired.

"Gurarara—Di kid, you are truly terrifying!" Whitebeard sighed, "If you were my son, handing the Whitebeard Pirates over to you to manage..."

"Hey, Old Man, are you saying I'm doing a bad job?" Marco said helplessly.

"Compared to Di kid, you are still a bit lacking." Whitebeard said unceremoniously.

"Who wants to compare with such a monster!" Marco rolled his eyes.

Sima Di smiled and said nothing.

"Alright, today we're not talking business. There are only three things: eat, drink, and have fun!" Lei Li changed the subject.

"Good, drink!"

"If I can't outsmart you, can I still not outdrink you?"

"Come on, line up. Today I'm getting my revenge!"

"I swear I'll drink you under the table, you brat!"

The division captains of the Whitebeard Pirates all rubbed their fists and palms together eagerly, looking toward Sima Di.

You're strong?

You're smart?

Your talent is monstrous?

Surely your drinking capacity can't possibly be stronger than our entire Whitebeard Pirates crew, right?

Today we absolutely must avenge that "grudge of one suckle"!

Sima Di smiled oddly.

Drinking contest?

My apologies,

then let's just see who ends up drinking who under!

While the three pirate crews were drinking with great enthusiasm over here, the Five Elder Stars of the World Government were absolutely furious.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" The Five Elder Star smashed the table, roaring: "How dare they hold a victory banquet right under our noses? Arrest them all! Arrest them all!!!"

"I agree! Let's go ask Lord Im for instructions!" The Three Elder Star slammed the table as well.

However......

The Great Elder Star frowned at the two of them, looking very displeased.

The Five Elder Star and Three Elder Star immediately calmed down, but were still unconvinced.

"Are we just going to watch like this? This damages the dignity of the World Government!" the Five Elder Star said.

"So what do you suggest?" the Great Elder Star said in a deep voice: "The Whitebeard Pirates, the Luo Jie Pirates, plus the Straw Hat Pirates who can fight an Admiral — we must deploy the secret forces."

"But can you be sure Big Mom and Kaido won't smell the wind and make a move?"

"And there's still the Revolutionary Army?"

"It's not like you didn't read Sengoku's report. Whitebeard has recovered his peak combat power. Do you want him to come and slash Mariejois?"
