Chapter 28

Susanoo!

Sima Di's eyes did not transform into the Mangekyō pattern; only azure energy overflowed from his eye sockets, coalescing into a skeleton frame and skeletal arms to shield him within.

This was only the initial form—gaps that large in the skeleton frame couldn't possibly defend against magma.

Sima Di continued to drive the power of Susanoo; more azure energy overflowed, filling the gaps between the skeletal frame with a membrane of film, and coalescing into a skull, giving it a complete upper body.

First Form!

Sima Di intended to test his limits; the azure energy continued to overflow, building meridians and flesh atop the skeleton, which was then covered by a layer of energy garment, and a sheathed longsword even coalesced in his left hand.

Second Form!

At this point Sima Di could clearly feel his stamina draining; he estimated that maintaining it for roughly half an hour would leave him exhausted.

Although he could open the next form, he feared he'd end up like Tiga—a "three-minute man."

He decided not to continue.

He used psychokinesis to make himself fly, and Susanoo moved along with him.

Although it was still only a half-body Susanoo, there was energy isolating beneath its feet.

The only question was......

Could this getup withstand the magma?

26. Robin Being Handled! The Origins of the Giant Race!

Could this getup withstand the magma?

Only by trying it would one know!

Susanoo requires its Complete Body form to fly, so for now it can only rely on Sima Di's psychokinesis.

Passing through the translucent barrier,

Placed within the magma, Sima Di was ready at any moment to use his Word Spirit ability to activate the Magma-Magma Fruit's power.

But there was no change whatsoever.

The scorching magma only slightly increased Susanoo's consumption; even the temperature inside Susanoo didn't rise by a single degree, as if they were two separate spaces—magma outside, themselves inside.

"Truly worthy of Lord Madara's Susanoo—tough enough!"

Sima Di flew swiftly, breaking through the magma; after leaving the volcano crater and scanning from above, he quickly spotted Robin in the jungle "gesturing like a fierce tiger."

He immediately approached her.

Just as he was descending,

He heard Robin tease: "We've only been apart a little while, and you already can't wait to see me?"

Such teasing had become frequent lately, and Sima Di had built up an immunity to it.

Even......

"Oh? Then it seems you're not welcoming me." Sima Di feigned sadness: "And here I found a historical text, planning to take you to see it......"

"Swoosh—"

Robin's face appeared right before Sima Di, her hands resting on his shoulders, her expression serious as she gazed at Sima Di.

"Did you really find it? Hurry and take me there!" she said eagerly.

However......

"Is this how you ask someone for a favor?" Sima Di played hard to get.

You teased me just now—shouldn't that come with a price?

Robin was also a ruthless one,

She directly kissed Sima Di on the lips, but only for a fleeting touch before pulling away, a faint blush still coloring her cheeks.

It seemed the mature beauty had no experience at all.

Both mature and pure—an absolute treasure!

"Satisfied now? Can you take me there?" Robin, unusually, averted her gaze.

Sima Di didn't tease her any further, and wrapped an arm around Robin's waist.

"Hold on tight."

The eruption of psychokinesis sent the two of them shooting up from the ground; Robin let out a small cry and instinctively tightened her hold on Sima Di, her naturally gifted figure pressing against him with considerable force.

This is the same principle as accelerating and braking hard on a motorcycle—the ultimate move for hitting on girls.

Robin rolled her eyes at Sima Di, but didn't say much more; she lowered her head to look at the little garden below, finding that the different perspective had its own unique charm.

Very quickly,

The two of them arrived at the volcano crater, which caught Robin somewhat by surprise.

"Don't tell me you found it in a cave inside the volcano crater?" Robin said in surprise.

"No." Sima Di shook his head.

This made Robin shake her head,

But then she immediately saw azure light overflow from Sima Di's eyes, coalescing into a strange half-body giant armor, which plunged headfirst into the magma.

Robin was also a bold one; aside from gripping Sima Di a little tighter, she didn't cry out.

Once they entered the magma,

She even surveyed the magma ocean with great interest—clearly her first time seeing magma like this.

A hundred meters was quickly crossed; passing through the barrier once more, they arrived at that platform, landing directly before the historical text at the center.

Robin was immediately captivated, her full attention seized!

Her eyes shining, she stepped forward, reading the information on it as if intoxicated, savoring it with relish.

Sima Di didn't disturb her and casually opened the system panel.

——————————

【God-Level Iconic Scene Check-In System!】

Host: Si Ma Lan;

Age: 18 years old;

Rewards: The Language Spirit Ability of Gojūon, The Super Soldier Physiology of Captain America, The Lucky Halo of the Killing Angel, The Lightning Immunity of Laxus, The Peak Human Wisdom of Xiao Honglü, The Multiplication Technique of Akimichi Chōji, The Millennium Dragon Long Wei of Kurohige, The Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Itachi;

——————————

Hmm...

It's that simple.

No four-dimensional data to pad the word count, no extra notes.

Simple and clear.

Upon careful counting,

Sima Di had checked in to fourteen iconic scenes, plus his own mastered Haki of the Emperor's Color, Armament Haki, and the Observation Haki he learned during the voyage—by the halfway point of the Grand Line, he was already a notable figure.

Someone like Crocodile, who lacks Haki and wields a Logia-type Devil Fruit?

Easily handled.

But this was merely the beginning of the journey; the true iconic scenes would come even more densely ahead.

I really hope I'd get a body-strengthening reward soon—right now, his most-used Language Spirit Ability and the newly acquired Susano'o both drain physical stamina.

At this moment,

Robin had finished reading the Poneglyph and turned to look at Sima Di, who was also staring blankly at the Poneglyph—actually, he was watching the system panel.

"Can you understand it too?"

Robin's voice startled Sima Di out of his thoughts about future iconic scenes; he shook his head.

"Though I'm very intelligent, without a textbook, it's hard to decipher these characters."

"You're awfully confident."

"Of course—I have the ability to back it up."

Robin smiled and didn't argue.

"Aren't you curious about the information recorded above?" Robin probed.

Sima Di made no effort to hide his curiosity.

"As I said before, I set sail for adventure and stories. The lost history is perfect to become one of my adventures—but if you believe the information is dangerous, I won't force you."

This frankness put Robin at ease.
