Smoker handed the Den Den Mushi to Tashigi, then leaned against the ship's railing, watching the Going Merry sail off into the distance.

1. Nami's Confession! Franky's Glorious Evolution!

Rebuilding the volume

"Hachoo—"

Sima Di gave Luffy, who had just sneezed, a strange look, and a holy light glowed in his hand.

"Caught a cold? Want me to heal you?"

"Ah, sure."

The holy light descended amid everyone's admiring gazes, and Luffy shivered comfortably.

"Ah~"

It's like...

"So good!"

Luffy rubbed his nose, confirmed he wouldn't sneeze again, then looked at Sanji.

"Sanji...... I'm hungry......"

Sanji glanced at the downcast Nami and sighed helplessly.

"Got it, got it, I'll go prepare it right now."

"Awesome! I'm going to watch you cook!"

"Don't even think about sneaking bites! Usopp, come here and keep an eye on him for me."

"Ah...... but I need to......"

"Stop 'ah-ing', let's go!"

The others wordlessly scattered to their own tasks.

Sima Di didn't leave,

just stood by the ship's railing, letting the sea breeze blow, as if pondering something.

Robin keenly noticed something.

"Vivian, Hancock, I recently developed a new move—help me take a look." Robin grabbed the two women and started to leave.

"Whatever, this concubine's abilities don't really mesh with yours." Hancock was about to refuse.

"Aiya, it's not a combat move, it's......" Robin glanced at Sima Di.

Hancock's eyes immediately lit up!

"Something to please Your Majesty? Let's go!"

Vivian was thus dragged off by the two older sisters.

Very quickly,

on the deck at the bow, only Sima Di and Nami were left.

Nami lowered her head and came to Sima Di's side, as if she wanted to say something but bit her lip in frustration.

"For the sake of the big picture and team atmosphere, you're planning to make peace with me?" Sima Di saw straight through Nami's inner struggle: "You still think what I did was too much, right?"

Nami didn't speak, but not denying was the same as admitting it.

"You think I was being arbitrary and overstepping the captain?" Sima Di asked again.

"It's not that extreme." Nami hurriedly said940: "Everyone knows Luffy's IQ, so you're obviously the most suitable one to command in battle, it's just...... it's just......"

"It's just that my attitude was too forceful, even a bit overbearing?"

"Mm...... it's not that bad, is it?" Nami hesitated.

Sima Di couldn't help but sigh.

Hesitation......

means it's pretty much close!

"I've noticed it lately too." Sima Di gazed at the sea and said: "Actually, as my power keeps rising—surpassing Luffy and the others, surpassing Crocus, surpassing the Marine Admirals—I've found my mindset has changed a lot too......"

"It's like I'm playing a game, demanding perfection in everything, and once something goes beyond expectations, it really pisses me off."

"It's like......"

"I've become arrogant."

That's right!

Sima Di had noticed this problem lately too.

It's just that the captain is Luffy, this blockhead, who doesn't care at all about authority or prestige.

Otherwise,

in a normal pirate crew, Sima Di's behavior would be a sign of "usurping the captain's position," wouldn't it!

Sima Di's sudden "confession session" actually made Nami feel embarrassed.

"It's not that exaggerated...... it's just a tiny bit of male chauvinism." Nami measured out about one centimeter with her fingers.

Sima Di merely smiled, paying it no mind.

At this moment, he had cast off everything, and he gazed blankly at the sea.

He did not know when it had started...

He felt he did not belong in this world, like an NPC — merely operating a character rather than blending into this world.

"Perhaps... it's time for me to leave..."

"Don't talk nonsense!!!"

Luffy's furious roar came over,

Sima Di turned to look, and was surprised to see the entire Straw Hat crew present.

Luffy said angrily, "As a companion, how can you casually say those two words? I will absolutely not allow you to leave the ship! We are a group! I don't want to listen to anyone's plan but yours!"

Those words...

Why do they sound so familiar?

Oh!

When Sanji left,

Luffy had said that, except for the food he cooked, he didn't want to eat anything.

Then he nearly starved to death...

Looks like Luffy's resolve is huge!

"That's right, Di. Although your attitude has become much more forceful... that's because you know too much, and we don't know that intelligence, so it caused a misjudgment." Zoro analyzed rationally.

"It's that we didn't trust you — that's our problem, it has nothing to do with you!" Usopp hurriedly said.

"You're the vice-captain of everyone! Apart from Luffy, everyone should have listened to you in the first place!" Crocus said matter-of-factly.

"How dare she question Your Majesty — if Robin hadn't held me back, I would have kicked that woman flying just now!" Hancock said, chin raised.

"Vice-Captain Di is the brain of the Straw Hat crew; your orders should never have been disobeyed." Jinbe stated his position.

"Yohohoho— As vice-captain, Mr. Di is completely qualified."

"Why does Di-chan doubt herself? You're the best!"

"Di... my lord Di cannot be wrong! Geniuses always don't fit in, and my lord Di is so extraordinarily gifted!"

Everyone had spoken their piece, striving to keep Sima Di from leaving.

"You guys..."

Sima Di looked at everyone, somewhat moved.
