Chapter 284

Damn!

Is this guy really that reckless with his life?

Sima Di's anger value skyrocketed, and he was about to activate Super Saiyan form to finish him off instantly...

Fortunately,

the Straw Hat Pirates were no mere decoration; they had detected the intent of the Hippo CP0.

Luffy immediately activated Gear Fourth, and along with Sanji, stepped on the air to chase after Zoro, who was "flying on a sword," while the flying Vivi and Robin followed closely behind.

This made Sima Di breathe a sigh of relief and lowered his anger value.

With the Birdcage blocking the way,

even an Admiral would need to take it slightly seriously to break through it.

As long as the Hippo CP0 is slightly delayed, Luffy and the others will catch up; they just need to tie him up briefly.

So...

Sima Di looked at the Falcon CP0 before him, whose arm veins were bulging, his gaze heavy with solemnity.

I must say,

the Falcon CP0 in this state is indeed tricky!

Didn't you see that Sakazuki and Dragon, working together, could only barely hold off that Lion CP0?

However...

In this state, they can only maintain it for five minutes...

Oh no!

It's already four and a half minutes now.

"Then let's make a bet: will your accomplice flee first, or will my companions drag you until you die?"

The Falcon CP0 wasted no words and immediately clenched his fist, charging at Sima Di.

Sima Di is the key linking the Navy and the Revolutionary Army; as long as he is killed, this alliance will crumble on its own!

Sima Di does not flee...

That is exactly what he wants!

*Chug Chug Chug*

Automatic subscriptions dropped by two again...

Now I'm short three for the extra chapters...

11. Everyone is showing off, only Akainu is taking a beating!

"Then let's make a bet: will your accomplice flee first, or will my companions drag you until you die?"

"Swish—"

"Swish—"

The two launched themselves at each other in sync,

"Shocking the Hundred Miles!"

Sima Di's palm force transformed into a five-clawed black golden dragon, tearing and biting at the Lion CP0.

"Eagle Strikes the Sky!"

The Falcon CP0 thrust his sword finger forward, emitting a sharp sound like an eagle's cry, as if a grey eagle was flapping its wings and diving toward Sima Di.

The grey eagle and the five-clawed black golden dragon collided in mid-air; the shockwave generated by that single instant of collision caused the ground to sink by over ten meters, and the entire Thousand Sunny trembled uncontrollably!

But the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms differ from the Tathagata Buddha Palm,

for although its power is not as ridiculously massive, it excels in continuously outputting Haki, making it a Wu Gong that possesses both explosive power and endurance!

And while the Falcon CP0 temporarily possessed combat power surpassing an Admiral, it was solely in terms of explosive power.

As for endurance...

After being pushed back a few meters in a brief moment,

that grey eagle ran out of strength; the five-clawed black golden dragon, continuously supported by Sima Di's Haki, tore it to shreds in three or four moves and continued to advance with claws and teeth bared toward the Falcon CP0.

Helpless,

the Falcon CP0 could only thrust his sword finger again, deploying his strongest technique to counter the five-clawed black golden dragon.

But the outcome remained the same.

Having promoted to top-tier Armament Haki level 947, although the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms consumed a huge amount, he could still fight at full power for half a day!

But the Falcon CP0...

Combat power exchanged for burning one's life cannot be sustained for so long.

Sima Di targeted this weakness, using his strength against his opponent's weakness, forcing him into a battle of attrition!

The Falcon CP0 naturally would not sit idly by.

As the grey eagle and the five-clawed black golden dragon tore at each other once more, he activated Shave to reach Sima Di's side, intending to defeat Sima Di with his strongest physical body.

But...

How could Sima Di not have anticipated this?

His left hand, which had been behind his back, slapped out, and another five-clawed black golden dragon emerged, circling around him to form a thick wall of Qi that prevented the Falcon CP0 from approaching.

"The Dragon Appears in the Field!"

"Ahhh!!!"

The Falcon CP0 attacked frantically, trying to tear through the wall of Qi blocking him to strike Sima Di.

But however much he could tear apart, Sima Di could replenish just as much.

Continuous, without end.

This made the Falcon CP0 despair!

What is wrong with this person before me?

Is this the power of Wu Gong?

As expected...

Foreign power is, after all, too insubstantial!

His hair turned white, the exposed skin lost its elasticity, his straight spine gradually hunched, and his ferocious assault gradually slowed until it stopped completely.

"Crack—"

The Falcon mask shattered and fell to the ground, revealing an ancient face so aged one could not distinguish male from female; he panted heavily, his cloudy eyes filled with unwillingness.

"If only... if only I could get close... why would it come to this..."

Sima Di did not reply.

Fight head-on with someone who doesn't even value their life?

He is not a fool!

Even a gentleman does not stand beneath a dangerous wall.

"I... am unwilling!"

Spitting out these last words,

the wobbly Falcon CP0 collapsed to the ground, decaying at an exaggerated speed mid-fall; in the blink of an eye, most of his body turned to dry bones, as if he had perished completely.

Yet Sima Di still maintained the Qi wall, a teasing look in his eyes.

Perhaps Observation Haki did not detect it...

But the mental energy scan clearly detected a terrifying energy hidden in the Falcon CP0's left-hand sword finger—for the sake of paralyzing Sima Di, he had even abandoned his strongest right hand.

But unfortunately,

all of this was exposed to Sima Di's mental energy scan.

The Falcon CP0's remaining left eye erupted with intense unwillingness, but in the end, with no choice, he thrust out his final strike; his own body completely turned to dry bones, fell to the ground, and crumbled into a pile of ash.

The eagle let out its final long cry to the world, yet could not advance an inch before Sima Di's Qi wall, until finally it dissipated into nothingness.

"A worthy opponent to respect; pity he is a dog of the Celestial Dragons," Sima Di said with regretful shaking of his head.

Turning his head to look,

the Lion CP0 was still locked in a fierce battle with Sakazuki.

Both harbored the idea of stalling for time, so the Lion CP0 had not exhausted himself as severely as the Falcon CP0 and still had reserves.

But now, seeing the Falcon CP0 dead...

the Lion CP0 knew he could not hold out any longer!
