Chapter 269

"Kami Yaburi" can deliver slashes that dodge weapons—it's actually done by wrapping Conqueror's Haki around the blade, sensing from afar and altering the slash's trajectory.

And although Sima Di's spiritual power may not be as strong as Luo Jie's, his application of it is far superior!

He only tried it briefly,

and he had already successfully tamed that "Black Gold Slash," and moreover......

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

"Whoosh—"

Sima Di swung his sword again and again, adding layer upon layer of "Body-Protecting 0.9 Sword Qi" to the Going Merry.

At first, Merry in the crow's nest would marvel at Sima Di's power.

But once the count reached twenty, she sensed something was off!

Too many, too powerful......

She hurriedly poked her head out and shouted: "Di! Stop it! If it detonates now, the energy shield won't hold!"

Di happened to be testing his own rough limit as well—he could control roughly thirty-six or so "sword qi" at once.

Hearing Merry's warning,

he immediately pointed his sword forward, and every strand of sword qi flew toward the target along arcing trajectories!

"Boom boom boom—"

The concentrated detonation was a collective eruption of power, directly raising a thousand-meter giant wave that hurled the Going Merry up onto its crest, surging forward at speed like surfing.

Merry appeared before Sima Di and snatched his vibranium longsword in one grab.

"You're not allowed to practice moves on the ship anymore! Otherwise one careless moment and I'll be homeless!"

Sima Di didn't mind.

Standing at the prow, gazing into the distance, he pondered a name for this technique......

Got it!

Let's call it "Wanjiangui Sect"!

He believed that one day in the future, his sword qi would reach ten thousand!

"Huh?" Merry pointed at the sea and said: "Di, you seem to have blasted something interesting up."

Sima Di followed her gaze and saw the object tumbling among the waves, and could not help raising an eyebrow!

Isn't this just......

4. Nami's Direct Shot! The Big Thresher!

Watching the submarine tumbling in its death throes among the waves, Sima Di could not help raising an eyebrow!

The Polar Submarine?

Isn't this the vessel of the Heart Pirates—that is, Trafalgar Law's giant ship?

How did they get blasted out?

"Di, are you really not going to save them?" Merry said softly: "Tumbling like that, even watching makes me dizzy."

"Oh oh!"

Almost forgot!

【Magneto!】

He raised his hand and halted the death-tumbling Polar Submarine, placing it beside the Going Merry.

Not long after,

The hatch of the Polar Submarine opened, and Luo and the others ran onto the specially-made deck, leaning over the ship's rail and vomiting.

Tch!

Looks miserable.

Merry flashed away in disgust—way too gross.

Sima Di also couldn't bear to watch and shifted his gaze away—way too miserable!

Mainly, these people seemed to have been blasted out by his own test move...

Several minutes later,

Luo and the others finally recovered, then looked up at Sima Di.

"Straw Hat's second-in-command, we've finally been waiting for you!" Luo said excitedly.

"???"

Waiting for us?

If I remember correctly......

Luo should be off right now collecting one hundred pirates' hearts, turning them in to the World Government to obtain the title of Warlord of the Sea, right?

"What are you waiting for us for?" Sima Di asked, puzzled.

"Straw Hat's second-in-command, originally we were going to go to the Summit War, but we couldn't be of any help at all." Luo said, feigning regret.

He was the first to make his stance clear—I'm on your side!

Sima Di looked at Luo, his eyes flickering.

In the original work,

Luo saved Luffy from Jinbe's hands and made a thrilling escape from Borsalino's pursuit!

Saving one person and being pursued by a vice admiral......

This isn't something just anyone would have the courage to take on.

This shows,

Law saving Luffy had strong motive and purpose — early contact, a life-saving debt, and the possibility of strengthening future alliance with the Straw Hats!

After that,

The Supernovas of the same period basically all entered the New World to make their way, only Law went to "apply" for the Seven Warlords of the Sea and vanished from sight, until after allying with the Straw Hats he quickly stepped down.

14　To say he wasn't deliberately waiting for the Straw Hat Pirates, even Sima Di wouldn't believe it.

As for the reason for doing all this......

He wants to avenge Corazon!

However,

Law understood deeply that with his own ability, it was impossible to defeat Doflamingo.

So he needed allies strong enough.

The Straw Hat Pirates were the "allies" he had carefully chosen.

It's just that......

Because of Sima Di's appearance, all of Law's arrangements became bubbles.

Now coming up to them,

Probably unwilling to give up, so wanting to give it one last try?

Sima Di, meanwhile, was thinking......

Until the very end,

Law never had the chance to kill Doflamingo with his own hands; if he were given that chance, it should count as a memorable scene, right?

Worth a try!

"You say you've been waiting for us — is there something you need?" Sima Di asked.

Law was at a loss for words for a moment.

Say what?

Form an alliance?

With the Straw Hat Pirates' current combat configuration, does the Heart Pirates even qualify?

He gritted his teeth!

Law said seriously: "I... want to join the Straw Hat Pirates! I'm an Ope Ope no Mi user — I can do many things Medical Arts cannot, and... and I can also perform the immortality surgery! Granting the recipient eternal life!"
