Chapter 261

The BIG MOM Pirates also care about face!

It is impossible to just freeload off the Straw Hat Pirates like this.

To this, Lord Lord Sima Di indicated...

"The Straw Hat Pirates don't really need anything. Why don't you just give us a few Devil Fruits you don't need as a bride price?"

Lord Lord Sima Di could materialize ordinary materials.

Only these Devil Fruits,

if someone had already used them, he could not materialize them.

And those that no one had used...

Sorry,

it seems there is nothing worth wanting.

"Devil Fruits? That's fine." BIG MOM nodded: "There are a few useless Devil Fruits, we'll just give them all to you."

"Please don't misunderstand, these are only useless to our pirate crew," Perospero explained: "As you can see, our Devil Fruit abilities are mostly dessert-based, just as the Beast Pirates love Zoan types. So among those few Devil Fruits, there are still some decent abilities."

Lord Lord Sima Di nodded, indicating he understood.

Anyway, it was just a matter of shearing some wool while passing by.

If there were suitable ones, great; if not...

When the BIG MOM Pirates collapsed, wouldn't they be theirs anyway?

This was equivalent to taking their things as a bride price and sending them back. What did Lord Lord Sima Di have to be happy about?

Suddenly!

The door to the grand banquet hall was kicked open, and a group of unexpected, yet reasonable, people came to kill!

58. Top-tier Observation Haki! Judge wants to cause trouble!

The matter of the bride price had just been settled when a sudden change occurred!

"Bang!"

The doors to the grand banquet hall were kicked open. Judge led a team pushing a group of chess soldiers and biscuit soldiers, striding toward the main table.

"BIG MOM! We are also here to form an alliance! Why only receive the Straw Hat Pirates and choose to ignore our Germa 66?" Judge questioned.

The momentum was so fierce!

It made the previously lively grand banquet hall so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Is this too brave?

"Oh?"

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Sanji with interest and used the mind link.

["If BIG MOM wants to kill them, should we save them?"]

Sanji's expression was gloomy!

Apparently, he hadn't expected Judge to be so brainless, coming directly to question BIG MOM?

What qualifications did he have to question BIG MOM?

Germa 66?

They could only hold on for 66 days in the North Blue, that sea of weaklings. Even with the life design blueprints in hand, to BIG MOM, they were just a supplement for low-level soldiers. How could they be as important as the high-end combat power of the Straw Hat Pirates?

It really is...

having absolutely no self-awareness!

["Just save Reiju."] Sanji finally replied.

He couldn't bear to look at Judge.

As for the other three brothers...

Sorry,

they were just emotionless robots, they really couldn't be called brothers.

["Understood."]

Lord Lord Sima Di crossed his arms, prepared to watch the show.

The mental exchange lasted only three sentences, and in reality, it had been less than a second.

BIG MOM recovered from her brief bewilderment, confirming once again that the person standing in front of her was not a powerhouse like Lord Lord Sima Di...

Then, her rage soared!

The aura belonging to a Four Emperor rose from her obese body, making everyone feel "mountainous" pressure!

"Who do you think you are!" BIG MOM said with a dark face: "Just a bunch of brats from the North Blue..."

BIG MOM paused, looking at Lord Lord Sima Di.

Lord Lord Sima Di smiled: "Don't be polite. Sanji and the Vinsmoke family have already severed ties, so... except for that young lady, please feel free to do as you wish with the others."

As he spoke,

Lord Lord Sima Di opened the Golden Treasury and presented a vial of Giant potion.

—This was Reiju's "ransom money."

Lord Lord Sima Di's tactfulness made BIG MOM very satisfied.

Then, her aura surged violently!

Conqueror's Haki, condensed into substance, crashed into Judge and the others, blowing them out of the banquet hall like autumn leaves, with only Reiju standing safely in place.

"Katakuri! Go out and teach them a lesson, let them know the majesty of the Four Emperors!" BIG MOM ordered: "Don't disturb the mood of our distinguished guests."

"Yes, Mama!"

Katakuri, with a dark face, turned into mochi and merged into the ground. When he reappeared, he was already at the door of the banquet hall, waving his hand to close the doors.

The subsequent scene was extremely cruel, which made Lord Lord Sima Di, who had his mental scan on, very happy.

Being able to develop the Paramecia Mochi-Mochi Fruit into something nearly like a Logia elementalization, and also being able to crush Judge's high-tech spear with soft mochi, Katakuri was truly a talent.

And...

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Katakuri's Pseudo-Logia Elementalization!", obtaining the sign-in reward "Katakuri's Top-tier Observation Haki"! ]

——————————

"Katakuri's Top-tier Observation Haki": One of the three types of Haki, it can sharpen a person's five senses, allowing them to perceive the aura and emotional changes of surrounding living beings. After advancing to the top tier, Observation Haki may evolve special characteristics!

——————————

Lord Lord Sima Di's mental power gained a significant increase!

His Observation Haki broke through from advanced to top-tier, and continued to advance all the way to the highest realm!

"Click—"

A bottleneck shattered, and Lord Lord Sima Di realized he had gained a characteristic—Illusion Implantation!

This was a transformation of Lord Lord Sima Di's mind link ability, which could implant images he wanted the other party to see into their brain, thereby creating "illusions" that were nearly real.

For example, Lord Lord Sima Di implants "a person."

Then, regardless of the other party's eyes, perception, or Observation Haki, all channels of perceiving external information would perceive this person as "truly existing."

It can be called a bug-level characteristic!

But at the same time,

under the bug effect, there is also a bug-level consumption. Lord Lord Sima Di had a premonition that if he used this characteristic, his Observation Haki and mental scan would be significantly compressed, and the diameter of the deployment would likely not exceed one hundred meters.

Hmm...

Another trump card, an ability that would only be used when fighting opponents of the same level.

59. Matrilocal marriage and marrying out! A perfect match for the Snake Girl!

"Ma ma ma ma—" BIG MOM seemed to sense something: "Devil Buster, you seem to have had an epiphany, has your strength broken through again?"

As expected of a Four Emperor, this keenness is truly perverted!

Lord Lord Sima Di didn't mind.
