Chapter 285

"Hahaha—traitor! Die with me!"

"The mad lion's roar!!!"

Lion CP0 withstood Dorag's biting wind blades,

his golden hair shooting upward like an angry lion, his fists breaking the air with a roar like a male lion, smashing hard into Sakazuki's face, punching straight through the deck of the Great Dethoro, piercing the Great Dethoro completely, falling into the sea with momentum still unspent, until finally smashing hard onto the seabed!

Sima Di couldn't help but grit his teeth!

Isn't this too miserable?

And Lion CP0 didn't fare well either,

cut directly on the back by Dorag's wind blade; although he withstood it with Armament Haki, he still spat out a huge mouthful of blood, his golden hair visibly turning white by two-thirds.

Lion CP0 did not tremble before Dorag; instead, his power shot out like lightning, heading straight for Usopp and Jinbe who were struggling with Gladius's head.

"Danger! Long-nose!" Dorag warned.

This is something that could smash Sakazuki into the seabed in one strike!

Let alone Usopp, even Jinbe in front of him would be instantly killed in one strike!

But the situation happened suddenly,

there was absolutely no combat power nearby capable of opposing Lion CP0, and Sima Di was too far away to rescue them.

It seemed Usopp's death had become a certainty!

But...

"Swish—"

Lion CP0's figure suddenly vanished, kneeling halfway before Sima Di with hands clasped, tightly pinching Hyorinmaru.

One hundred percent bare-handed catch of the white blade!

"Lucky indeed, Usopp; even random probability picked this one." Sima Di teased.

He was completely baffled by the "development" of One Hundred Percent Bare-Handed Catch of the Bai Ren; he couldn't do what Li Jing did, "specifying targets" or even "area control," so he was just trying it out with a "let's see what happens" mindset...

If all else fails, I can use time reversal!

He had mastered this quite well,

already able to reverse time only for specified targets, consuming much less energy.

"Ahhh!!!!"

"Ahhh!!!!"

Lion CP0 raged uselessly, straining with all might to stand up!

The ground was shattered by his power, yet he remained kneeling in mid-air, unable to do anything to Sima Di.

One Hundred Percent Bare-Handed Catch of the Bai Ren is simply this BUG!

If it were a user with abilities like Borsalino, he could force Sima Di to drop the sword himself by spitting laser beams from his mouth, breaking the control.

But for a pure martial artist...

one would need strength exceeding Sima Di's by more than double to break free through brute force.

And although Lion CP0 briefly possessed combat power surpassing an Admiral, it wasn't exaggerated enough to exceed Sima Di's by double.

He could only stare unwillingly and fiercely at Sima Di, yet helplessly rot away.

"Letting you go during the Summit War was simply the most wrong decision I ever made!" Lion CP0 gritted his teeth.

Sima Di knew what Lion CP0 was talking about.

During the Summit War,

actually CP0's main combat force was also present, but they never revealed themselves from start to finish.

The reason...

"Heh, you still just wanted to weaken the Navy's strength, didn't want them to break free from the World Government's control, right?" Sima Di scoffed.

With your little schemes, who can't see through them?

Lion CP0 did not refute, or rather, he no longer had the strength to speak.

He could only stare viciously at Sima Di until he completely rotted into dry bones and fell to the ground as scattered ash.

Just then, Gao Da Meili and the Golden Giant clashed, and the shockwave mixed his ash with Falcon CP0, blowing them out to sea.

"Hahaha—I finally have a Devil Fruit too!"

Usopp's sudden laughter made Sima Di turn his head to look,

seeing Usopp holding Gladius's head in his left hand and a bitten Devil Fruit in his right, laughing like a madman.

Until...

"Bang!"

"Awooo—"

Usopp clutched the lump growing on his head, glaring at Nami.

Why did you hit me?

"Don't you even activate Observation Haki?" Nami scolded him in frustration: "You almost died just now! CP0 personally assassinated you! Are you honored or what?"

Learning he had walked on the edge of a cliff,

Usopp's inflated heart was immediately brought back to earth, shrinking his neck timidly.

"I was just too excited, don't mind me, don't mind."

Sima Di smiled; indeed, he didn't pay it much mind.

Watching the golden giant and Gao Da Merry "fight at close quarters," wherever they passed, no building remained intact, like a hurricane had swept through.

It felt just like a 3D blockbuster.

Dragon came to Sima Di's side, also folding his arms to watch.

"Not going to help out your little girlfriend?"

"Which one are you talking about?" Sima Di asked instinctively.

"......"

Without Dragon's reminder, Sima Di had been keeping an eye on things the whole time.

Robin and Vivi were currently entangled in combat with Hippo CP0.

Hippo CP0 was probably at the "King's Adjutant" level of combat power — below an Admiral but above an Admiral candidate, and most likely had not mastered "Life Return??? Burned Jade??? Burned Jade?

With Zoro and Sanji there,

it was just right for the four of them to practice together, and there wouldn't be too much danger — the damage-sharing aura was still active.

As for Hancock......

she was busy chasing Bakara all over the place.

It was just that Bakara's luck was really good — she could always turn danger into safety; all the collapsing buildings only crashed down on Hancock, cleverly avoiding her every time.

But in the face of absolute overwhelming power, luck didn't seem to be of much use either.

She was merely clinging to life.

Fortunately,

Sakazuki crawled out of the crater he had blasted open earlier, with a Fist Seal on each side of his face like rouge......

It was hilarious!

"Yo, crawled back, huh." Sima Di teased.

"Hell Hound!"

The enraged Sakazuki threw a punch straight at him, but Sima Di simply took a quiet step to the side and hid behind Dragon.

Dragon helplessly waved his hand and summoned a gust of wind that blew the dog-head askew, sending it flying elsewhere — it just happened to pass right in front of Hancock, forcing her to dodge, letting Bakara once again escape death.

"Fool! How dare you obstruct me!" Hancock shouted angrily from afar.

It nearly broke Sakazuki's defense all over again!

"Hahahaha——"

Sima Di held his belly with his left hand, laughing uproariously, while his right hand patted Dragon's shoulder.

This Sakazuki was really too much fun!
