Chapter 268

The crowd: "......"

When it comes to showing off, it's always you!

"Alright, scatter, scatter," Sima Di said. "It's just awakening Conqueror's Haki. Look at you, so unworldly."

The crowd: "......"

That is Conqueror's Haki!

It is the power of a king, one in a million!

Now...

Why does it look like it's everywhere?

Sima Di ignored them and looked at Bai Xing in his arms.

"Besides Conqueror's Haki, did you awaken anything else? Like Armament Haki?" Sima Di asked hopefully.

Bai Xing carefully sensed it, then shook her head.

But immediately, her gaze froze!

Then she looked to the side,

and saw a sea beast surface, charging toward the Going Merry.

Sima Di was about to casually eliminate it, but Bai Xing grabbed his hand instead, turning her gaze toward Zoro.

"Explosive Kick!"

Zoro kicked from a distance; a small flame shot out rapidly, landing on the sea beast's body and exploding into a sky full of fire with a boom.

"Boom—boom—boom—"

It immediately checked out.

However...

Did Bai Xing perfectly "predict" the entire process?

Could it be...

"How did you know Zoro would kick?" Sima Di asked.

"Just now... those images suddenly appeared in my mind. I don't know either..." Bai Xing said, puzzled.

That's it!

"It's the characteristic of Observation Haki—Future Sight!" Sima Di smiled. "Congratulations, from now on you can briefly foresee the future."

"Ah? Really?" Bai Xing exclaimed joyfully. "Then truly..."

Bai Xing's words halted, a blush suddenly appearing on her face, and she quickly stood up from Sima Di's arms.

The next moment,

Hancock, being pulled by Robin, finally could no longer hold back and shouted—

"Get out of Your Majesty's arms... arms..."

Seeing that Bai Xing had already stood up, Hancock suddenly stumbled for words.

So self-aware?

No!

Actually, Bai Xing had foreseen Hancock's words.

Sima Di glanced at Robin, who responded with a helpless shrug.

You found the woman yourself; there's nothing she can do about her being so jealous.

"One must say, is she worthy of being the Sea King?" Sima Di smiled. "This talent is truly more monstrous than mine. When I first awakened Conqueror's Haki, it was only at the beginner level."

Had the sign-in reward not given him a stack of buffs, he wouldn't even be at the advanced level now, let alone the top tier.

After all...

He had no ambition to conquer the world.

"Lord Sima is making fun of me... I... I..." Bai Xing, face red and head down, didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your personality needs to change," Sima Di said helplessly. "Also, your physique is too weak. Since you have Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki should be no problem either."

"Yes... Lord Sima..."

"We are partners now. No more 'Lord' this and 'Lord' that. Just call me Di, or Di-chan, like everyone else."

"Okay... Di... Di."

Bai Xing glanced at Hancock, but in the end, she didn't say "Di-chan."

But anyone with eyes could see,

Bai Xing could no longer escape Sima Di's grasp.

However, aside from Zoro, no one else minded.

This counts as a pause for now.

The crowd dispersed one by one, each preparing for battle.

"Franky, hurry and upgrade my ammo depot! This time I want the world to know that the Straw Hat Pirates' sniper is Usopp!"

"Yo-ho-ho-ho—Chopper, do you want to listen to my new song?"

"Robin-nee, train the Cape Hammer Technique with me!"

Seeing the crowd's enthusiasm for training made Sima Di feel a bit tempted...

He glanced at the system interface.

Among nearly a hundred abilities,

it seems...

there is no ability he needs to train?

Then let me practice the other techniques I've mastered.

He opened the Golden Treasury and took out a vibranium longsword, wrapping it in Haki of the Conqueror's Will and Armament Haki, holding back the release to carefully sense its subtleties.

Although he had the experience of Luo Jie and other great swordsmen,

so far he had merely imitated others and still lacked a single proper signature technique of his own.

Settling his mind,

Sima Di discovered that his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were refining the vibranium longsword into a "Black Blade," slightly enhancing all its qualities.

Armament Haki is the power of the body; Conqueror's Haki is the power of the spirit.

When combined,

they fuse body and spirit, producing a miraculous chemical reaction.

Even a casual swing of the sword—

"Shhh—"

A black slash entwined with golden lightning cleaved the sea surface, effortlessly shattering the sea beast's remains and sinking into the deep.

"Boom))))—"

Hundreds of meters of waves erupted from the sea, crashing toward the Golden Merry.

"Zzz—"

An energy shield activated, preventing a single drop of water from touching Sima Di.

Sima Di had made a new discovery!

Because seawater slightly blocked Observation Haki, he had been using his spiritual scan.

He discovered...

"Shhh—"

He slashed again,

and the black-gold slash, after flying only a short distance, abruptly turned ninety degrees, then circled the Golden Merry like a protective aura, lingering for a long time without dissipating.

This was Sima Di's discovery!
