Chapter 224

Ace waved again, glanced at Luffy, then nodded to Sima Di, before transforming into flame and landing on the Moby Dick.

On the ship's bow,

the various division commanders were also waving goodbye, while Marco gave Sima Di a thumbs-up.

"Next time we meet, you have to become a Commander too!" Marco encouraged.

Sima Di merely smiled.

You guys, one and all......

Why are you all so convinced we'll overthrow one of the Four Emperors and take their place?

Although that was indeed what he was thinking.

In that case......

Before I leave, let me give you all a gift!

Sima Di took out two bottles of potion and a book, tossed them toward the Moby Dick, and Ace caught them steadily.

"The white one is Super God Water; a person of pure heart can drink it to awaken their potential, otherwise they'll be poisoned to death."

"The green one is a Devil Fruit Separation Potion; it can forcibly strip a person's Devil Fruit."

"The book is a basic Haki Cultivation Method."

"Next time we meet, let's not do it at some weird place again!"

Sima Di's words greatly surprised the Whitebeard Pirates!

The Super God Water was still acceptable.

The Haki Cultivation Method, everyone understood.

But this Devil Fruit Separation Potion......

Sounds utterly outrageous!

However......

He probably isn't just giving it away for free, right?

"Di, what do you want?" Marco asked.

"Shedao is short one Hancock, so please do me the favor of looking after it for a while," Sima Di said.

So that's how it is......

"Gurararara—Go on your adventures without worry!" Whitebeard shouted: "We old-timers from the previous era have already grown old; the New World belongs to you youngsters!"

The Moby Dick completely submerged beneath the sea, vanishing from everyone's sight.

Turning back,

he saw Hancock gazing at him with a lovesick face.

"Your Majesty actually gave away such a treasure for my sake, it truly moves me beyond words!"

Hmm......

A treasure is a treasure, but for Sima Di, it wasn't rare at all.

"Vice-Captain Rayleigh, and Crocus, we should be going too," Jia Ba said: "Everyone rushed here this time, and there's still a lot of trouble back home to deal with."

To put it bluntly, they still had to go back to work to support their families.

After all, the Roger Pirates weren't real pirates, so after disbanding, although everyone had boundless glory, they didn't have much wealth.

Regarding this,

Rayleigh, equally strapped for cash, could only sigh and was about to nod.

Sima Di suddenly said: "It's rare for everyone to come all this way, I can't let you leave empty-handed either, let me give you some local specialties."

With a wave of his hand,

the golden treasury opened, and one golden longsword after another flew out, soaring toward the Roger Pirates members, each person receiving over a dozen.

Not to say it would let them live worry-free for life, but at least they could live comfortably.

"This...... how could we accept this." Jia Ba said somewhat reluctantly.

"Right, you have so many treasures, and you still need to continue your journey, you need them more, don't you?"

"We can actually barely get by."

Sima Di didn't explain.

【Golden Longsword!】

His Word Spirit ability conjured a golden longsword out of thin air, which he casually tossed to Rayleigh.

Precious?

Sorry,

he casually made them, they really were just "local specialties."

Seeing this, Nami, who had originally felt a bit heartache, couldn't help but widen her eyes!

You have this trick too?

Then she regretfully slapped her forehead!

Sima Di can manifest Vibranium and Seastone in huge quantities, so why not gold?

It really is......

Sitting on a mountain of treasure without knowing it!

"In that case, we won't refuse then," Jia Ba laughed: "You only have my contact info, if you need help later, you can call me anytime."

"Me too!"

"If there's any fun event like this time, don't forget me either."

"Haven't felt this fired up in ages — it's like being young again!"

Look at that!

The former Pirate King's crew, bought off with a few tons of gold......

Well,

ordinary people really can't afford to be this extravagant.

And those with the money don't have the connections to get in touch.

Watching the ship sail off into the distance, Sima Di's eyes flickered, and he silently made a wish.

"You kid, are you scheming something again?" Lei Li warned. "Jia Ba and the others finally retired — don't you go pestering them!"

"Nothing of the sort, just a little local specialty for the old-timers." Sima Di casually materialized another golden longsword and tossed it to Lei Li.

Lei Li: "......"

Silently pocketing the two golden longswords, Lei Li hopped up onto the ship's rail.

"You all should set off too, so as not to bring trouble to the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Really not coming with us?" Crocus asked.

Lei Li shook his head and looked toward the shore.

Xia Qi was standing over there, watching this side.

"After a lifetime of wandering... I never gave her a home either. Maybe it's time." Lei Li sighed. "That bastard Luo Jie actually had a kid behind my back? I can't lose to him!"

Good lord!

There's some pretty terrifying information packed into that line......

What do you mean, behind your back?

And......

At your age, you can still have kids?

"How about... I give you a boost?" Holy light glowed in Sima Di's hand.

Lei Li, spooked, leapt straight off the ship and dove into the sea, swimming toward the shore.

Only a lunatic would want you to 'boost' him!

Sima Di helplessly dispersed the holy light — wasted my good intentions.

When Lei Li returned to shore, he stood together with Xia Qi.

"Alright! Let's set off too!" Luffy said full of vigor. "For the Pirate King! Charge!"

"For the Pirate King!"
