Chapter 267

However......

Watching Bai Xing's little hand trembling so badly she couldn't even pull the cork out.

Sima Di didn't know whether to laugh or cry either.

"If you're this scared, how about we just forget it?" Sima Di said. "Your Observation Haki is pretty good—how about learning sniping from Usopp?"

"No!" Bai Xing said through gritted teeth. "I have to get stronger! I want to protect everyone too! I want to protect Fish-Man Island even more! And... I also want to move Fish-Man Island up to the surface!"

What a magnificent dream!

"Not a bad dream. Keep it up."

Sima Di stepped forward, took Bai Xing's little hand in his, and helped her pull the cork out.

He'd expected Bai Xing to hesitate a few more times,

but instead Bai Xing just downed it in one gulp, as casually as drinking water.

That decisive streak made Sima Di nod approvingly.

Then......

——————

5000+ words! Nine.

3. Advanced Conqueror's Haki from the start! Wanjiangui Sect!

Sima Di watched Bai Xing "flopping" about on the deck and suddenly thought of...

Sorry!

Seems a bit impolite.

What he didn't expect was,

even though Bai Xing's gentle face was twisted in pain, she never let out a single cry.

Her endurance was surprisingly strong!

"I wonder what potential Bai Xing will awaken?"

Quite looking forward to it.

Sima Di leaned against the ship's railing, thinking about this trip to Dressrosa.

What could he do to make it interesting?

Once he started thinking, an entire afternoon slipped by.

Until......

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

An invisible pressure suddenly swept in, jolting Sima Di awake!

It was Conqueror's Haki!

He instinctively unleashed his own Conqueror's Haki to clash against the one that had abruptly attacked.

Caught off guard, he actually failed to push it back!

At the same time,

four more bursts of Conqueror's Haki rose from the ship one after another, pressing down on the unfamiliar Conqueror's Haki!

Sima Di finally saw it—

this Conqueror's Haki that had appeared out of nowhere was actually surging up from inside Bai Xing?

"Damn!"

Sima Di hurriedly used his Conqueror's Haki to shield the deck that served as their battlefield—even so, creaking sounds could still be heard.

—Six bursts of Conqueror's Haki colliding was no joke!

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the iconic scene "Sea King Bai Xing's Conqueror's Haki!" and obtaining the sign-in reward "Sea King Bai Xing's Frail Physique"!】

——————————

"Sea King Bai Xing's Frail Physique": As the king of the Sea Kings, Bai Xing was born with the bearing of a sovereign, but her physique is far too frail and needs proper tempering!;

——————————

Sima Di's physique grew by just a sliver.

One could see just how poor Bai Xing's physique was.

But watching Bai Xing's Conqueror's Haki still stubbornly hold on under the suppression of five people's Conqueror's Haki......

That had to be at least intermediate level—maybe even advanced, right?

"Sea King... is just badass!"

After all, she's the carrier of an Ancient Weapon,

so as the king of the Sea Kings, starting out with advanced Conqueror's Haki isn't too much, is it?

But if that's the case......

the Straw Hat Pirates would have a full six people with Conqueror's Haki!

Apart from Hancock and Crocus,

Sima Di had witnessed Luffy, Zoro, and now Bai Xing awaken their Conqueror's Haki.

So......

Could it really be that the whole crew has Conqueror's Haki?

But Sima Di immediately shook his head.

At the very least, Franky was absolutely impossible—he didn't even have spiritual power yet.

Sima Di controlled his Conqueror's Haki to intercept the other four people's Conqueror's Haki, so Bai Xing would no longer feel the pressure.

Although it was her first awakening,

But Bai Xing's innate powerful spiritual force allowed her to remain conscious—perhaps this was also related to her having awakened at an advanced level.

"Adjust your breathing! Don't fear this power! Imagine withdrawing it!" Sima Di instructed.

Not long after,

Bai Xing retracted her Conqueror's Haki.

She tried to stand up,

but her legs gave way, and she collapsed straight into Sima Di's arms.

The others, drawn by the massive disturbance,

saw Sima Di holding Bai Xing and all wore expressions of "I knew it"—nearly every woman on the ship had fallen to Sima Di; could Bai Xing possibly be an exception?

However,

people like Chopper, Franky, and Brook simply didn't meet the basic requirements to need a woman.

As for Luffy, Zoro, and Jinbe Already, women only slowed their progress toward strength.

Kurokasi had no interest in women either, otherwise he wouldn't still be single.

Usopp already had his beloved "Coby."

Only remained...

"Wahhh—my mermaid princess is gone too!" Sanji turned completely gray.

The others stared at Sanji in surprise—did you really think you could compete with Sima Di for women?

"By the way... what just happened?" Usopp asked curiously: "I felt... six different Conqueror's Hakis?"

At this, everyone turned to look at Bai Xing.

Could it be...

"Yes, Bai Xing has awakened Conqueror's Haki, and it's very likely at an advanced level," Sima Di confirmed.

Instantly, a chorus of gasps filled the air!

Is this even possible?

Jinbe Already was stunned: "Then... doesn't the ship now have six Conqueror's Hakis?"

This is insane!

Is this ship not leaving any room for anyone else to survive?

Even Jinbe Already had already imagined...

In the future, if someone dared try to suppress them with Conqueror's Haki, the Straw Hat Pirates would unleash six Conqueror's Hakis—and scare them to death!

"There are still differences," Kurokasi said: "My Conqueror's Haki will never advance beyond the basic level in my lifetime. But yours, Emperor Boy… has already reached the advanced stage, right?"

"Unfortunately, you're wrong—I broke through to the supreme level just two days ago," Sima Di said with feigned regret.
