Chapter 247

But generally speaking, the grander the scene, the better the sign-in reward will be.

Overthrow the World Government......

At the very least, it should give something like a two-way door, right?

After all, once the World Government is gone, there won't be much challenge left in this world.

If that doesn't work......

The cooldown on the Room of Time and Spirit transmission stone seems almost done too, right?

"Forget it, it's too early to be thinking about this now."

Sima Di looked toward Kuzan, smiling as he raised his right hand.

"Then...... pleasant cooperation?"

With only 6 monthly tickets......

The author is taking a little rest, more chapters tomorrow! Nine.

93. Akainu's Tenderness! Luffy Has Awakened!

"Then...... pleasant cooperation?"

Kuzan looked at Sima Di's hand, hesitated briefly, then slowly extended his own right hand and clasped it.

"The Navy's funding is too dependent on the World Government. Do you have any way to solve it?" Kuzan asked.

He had already seen Sima Di's intelligence firsthand; now he wanted to see what good idea he could come up with.

If it's something like plundering the Golden Emperor...

That would be too ordinary.

"Funding? That's simple. Isn't the Golden Emperor floating around on the sea?" Sima Di said matter-of-factly. "It's not appropriate for the Navy to step in directly on this matter. Tell me the location of the Dressrosa ship later, and I'll go talk him into it."

It's also a good chance to sign in at this "money-burning pit"—just that ship alone should count as a grand scene.

And the Golden Emperor Gild...... could control 100% of the world's wealth with money, and even use the power of money to manipulate the Celestial Dragons, thereby mobilizing the power of the World Government.

In the underworld,

He is also the Golden Emperor who rules the dark world with money, his influence spanning every corner of the world.

If cooperation could be achieved, the benefits would be countless.

As for not being persuaded......

Then that would be quite a pity.

Kuzan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this—that's it?

Don't want......

Sima Di, having long anticipated this, took out a urea bag and gestured for Kuzan to open it and take a look.

Then Kuzan was blinded by the gold!

Good lord!

In this small bag, there was actually a mountain of gold?

A real mountain of gold!!!

And to make it worse, several searchlights had been placed around it—otherwise gold doesn't glow on its own, so how could it have blinded Kuzan?

"So much gold... where did you......"

【Golden Long Sword!】

Kuzan watched with his own eyes as a golden long sword materialized from nothing in Sima Di's hand.

He seemed to understand where the mountain of gold had come from......

"With an ability like yours, you don't need the Golden Emperor at all, do you?" Kuzan said, rubbing his forehead. "Is there anything your Devil Fruit ability can't do? It's really too convenient!"

If only the Navy had a Sima Di......

World Government?

Do you think this Fleet Admiral gives a damn about you?

"I don't have time to keep condensing gold—it's a strain on my throat. And don't describe my ability as 'convenient'!"

Sima Di casually tossed the golden Yangtze River over, turned around, and walked away.

Left Kuzan completely at a loss!

So you came here just to deliver military funds?

That's not right!

You also took the chance to beat up Sakazuki and "swap" him a heart.

"No." Kuzan couldn't help but say. "Did you forget something?"

You didn't even mention a single condit......!"......

"0! 1 These gold are burning hot in his hands!

"Oh! Almost forgot." Sima Di tapped his head toward Kuzan.

Kuzan was astonished to discover that a new Fist Technique had appeared in his mind, called "Frost Heaven Fist"!

With just a brief understanding,

It left Kuzan utterly enchanted—he had never imagined that Haki could be wielded to produce effects comparable to the Ice-Ice Fruit?

Is this what Sima Di meant by "Wu Gong"?

What a wildly imaginative creativity!

"This is a Haki Cultivation Method I developed for you based on the Ice-Ice Fruit." Sima Di explained briefly.

But Kuzan was lost in comprehension, motionless.

Sima Di waved his hand in front of Seeing Kuzan's eyes, but still failed to rouse him.

Who would have thought this lazy fellow had the makings of a martial arts fanatic?

Speaking of which,

this Frost Fist was actually a reward obtained from signing in at the famous scene where Kuzan froze the sea during the Summit War.

But just to be safe,

Sima Di used the mind link to put a lock on Kuzan — practicing it himself was no problem, but the moment he tried to write it down or speak it aloud, his mind would go completely blank.

One could call it another neat little trick after his spiritual power grew strong.

This time he really turned and left.

As for setting conditions?

The Marines didn't seem to have anything he wanted, so it could wait.

— As long as the plan succeeded, once the Marines and the World Government tore each other's faces off, wouldn't they become his "iron-clad allies"?

When the time came, wouldn't he be able to ask for anything and get it!

His gaze,

had to be set further ahead!

Arriving at Sakazuki's battlefield,

he saw him brandishing his dark fists and savagely pummeling Luffy, who had activated Gear Fourth. The magma flames, after being weakened by ninety percent, failed to inflict the slightest injury on Luffy — and even ignited an orange flame within him, which clung to his fists.

Was this a sign that the Nika Fruit was about to awaken?

Sima Di could see it clearly,

and Sakazuki, whose Devil Fruit had also awakened, could see it just as clearly — and as an Admiral of the Marines, he naturally knew the truth of the Rubber Fruit as well.

His expression was a mix of shock and fury!

This was the Devil Fruit ability of that legendary Warrior of Liberation!

The reason he had always left Luffy to his own devices,

apart from Garp's connection, was also because no previous generation of the Rubber Fruit had ever awakened — they never believed a little pirate who came out of the East Blue could develop it to the point of awakening.

But now Luffy could already summon flames, which meant the true power of the Nika Fruit was being unearthed by him!

In the past,

Sakazuki would surely have gone all out, determined to strangle this threat in its cradle!

But now, though...

Sakazuki kept a dark expression, maintained the same rhythm of attack as before, and activated his awakened Magma Fruit to manipulate the magma beneath his feet, pushing everyone else away.

He was actually focusing on feeding Luffy moves to practice against!
