Chapter 293

"I and Ace both thought you were dead!"

"You're still alive... that's truly wonderful!!!"

Compared to Luffy's outward emotions, Sabo was much more steady; although he was also very excited, he could still barely manage his facial expressions.

Just as he did when they were children,

his left arm gently wrapped around Luffy's shoulder while his right hand patted his back, just like coaxing a younger brother.

This scene was somewhat unexpected for Dragon!

He never expected that the child he had casually saved back then was actually his own son's sworn elder brother.

As for Sima Di...

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Sabo and Luffy's long-awaited reunion!", obtaining the sign-in reward "Sabo's Dragon Claw Fist"!】

——————————

"Sabo's Dragon Claw Fist": A special body technique developed by Dragon; using powerful finger strength and grip strength, it can easily crush swords, helmets, and other steel!;

——————————

Tsk!

Didn't get a good item!

It would have been better to give Sabo physical constitution or Haki.

However, glancing at the two brothers reunited, Luffy and the other, Sima Di wore a motherly smile.

Never mind,

he didn't even care about this reward; being able to witness this scene was more profitable than any reward!

"Tap tap tap!"

Hancock walked over with her long legs, handing the Devil Fruit with colorful patterns on it to Sima Di.

"Hmph! Even someone with the best luck cannot escape my pursuit!" Hancock said proudly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Hancock is the most powerful." Sima Di laughed.

He took the Luck Fruit and casually tossed it into the Golden Treasury.

Let's distribute them at 950 each a bit later.

Without the support of Tezoro's Golden Armor,

Franky was also pressing Dai Si hard; for Franky, who had no fatal injuries, victory only required exhausting the opponent's stamina.

Not far away, the CP0 Hippo was also showing signs of fatigue under the relentless assault.

The outcome had already been decided.

"What a pity; if Tezoro had cooperated, this Grand Tezoro could have continued operating to harvest funds." Sima Di looked regretfully at the luxurious ruins covered in devastation.

"Tezoro is no good material; compared to cooperating with a venomous snake, it is more worthwhile to take this Grand Tezoro away as a package." Dragon denied.

"Let the Navy handle this ship." Sengoku hurriedly said.

The New Navy had much to rebuild; he could not miss any opportunity to fleece the sheep.

Sima Di, of course, just shrugged indifferently.

Dragon...

He glanced at Garp studying the One Finger Strike; that single finger could pierce a hole through the air, leaving him any room to refuse?

He could only nod.

"In that case, we will first..."

"Wait!" Sima Di interrupted Sengoku's words and said, "I still need Sakazuki to help me..."

"There are many people turned into toys on Dressrosa; although most are pirates, there are also innocent people."

"I need Sakazuki to gather them for me, and then I will deploy a Magic-Suppression Field to let them break free from the effects of the Ope Ope no Mi."

No one present could refuse Sima Di's request.

Sakazuki, who had been scowling and keeping watch from a distance, also approached with a gloomy face.

"Then I will go gather those toys now, but it will be under the Navy's name... the news of the Navy cooperating with pirates cannot be exposed yet."

"Such a polite Sakazuki is truly hard to get used to." Sima Di teased.

"You!"

Sakazuki glared angrily at Sima Di, and finally flicked his hand, firing a Dog Head blast toward Dressrosa, while he himself used his Devil Fruit Awakening to merge into the Dog Head and depart.

He didn't want to stay here for another second!

After Sakazuki left, Sengoku also took Garp to say goodbye.

"Next time we meet, I hope to know what your layout truly is." Sengoku said finally.

"Then you must develop the New Navy well." Sima Di smiled: "A bit later I will send you a base; remember not to be too surprised when that time comes."

"Yes... never mind, asking you probably won't get an answer; we're leaving."

The two flew toward the sightseeing boat using Soru; the New Navy's funding was still up there.

Dragon saw this and hurriedly said, "Then we should withdraw too; looking forward to our next meeting."

Sima Di nodded,

and Sabo, who was hugging and crying with Luffy nearby, immediately gently pushed away the tear-and-snot-streaming Luffy.

Sabo, not minding at all, used...

Luffy's small vest to wipe away his tears and snot.

"Luffy, Ace and I have no chance of becoming the Pirate King. Take my share along with yours and move forward!"

"Of course!" Luffy shouted at the top of his lungs: "I am the man who will become the Pirate King!!!"

"I believe you can do it!" Sabo gave a thumbs-up.

He looked at Luffy deeply once more,

then Sabo backed away to Dragon's side, and the two were swept by the wind, chasing after Sengoku and the other.

They were the two closest to Luffy, yet they still rushed off in different directions for their own ideals.

Luffy felt no sadness; instead, he grinned widely.

"It's a parting, so why are you laughing?" Nami asked in confusion.

"Because I'm already looking forward to our next meeting!" Luffy laughed even more brightly: "By then, I should have become the Pirate King, right?"

Tsk!

With a train of thought like that, he really is different from ordinary people.

"It won't be that long, though," Sima Di said uncertainly.

After all, in one year they had already crossed half of the Grand Line; even if the New World is difficult, two years should be fine, shouldn't it?

The New Navy and the Revolutionary Army...

Two years,

I wonder if that's enough time for them to develop to the scale of the final plan?

These things are beyond Sima Di's control; it depends entirely on Sengoku and Dragon's abilities.

Glancing at Nami, who was still playing with the Gold-Gold Fruit, Sima Di called out to the Gao Da Merry in the sky.

"Merry, turn back into a ship."

"And everyone, the Thousand Sunny will soon be taken over by the Navy. Hurry up and finish off your opponents."

Having said that,

Sima Di rubbed the Hearthstone to return to the Golden Merry, just in time to see Gao Da open its "chest armor" to reveal a starry night sky.

It was somewhat sci-fi, after all.

Nami and Hancock also appeared on the deck and asked, "Di, where are we going now?"

"Hmm... Merry, find a spot to stop. We're going to Dressrosa to take a look," Sima Di smiled: "It holds the title of the Kingdom of Love, Passion, and Toys; we can't just come for nothing."

"Yay!" Nami cheered.

"I have already received Your Majesty's love and have no interest in anyone else!" Hancock said arrogantly: "But if Your Majesty wishes to experience it, I am willing to go with you."

"Then let's go!"

Sima Di directly wrapped his arm around Hancock's slender waist and carried her flying toward the nearby Thousand Sunny.
