Chapter 3

He had also learned to hold his breath to pull himself out of the "choking" state, then burst out of the smoke and glared viciously at Sima Di, but no longer dared to use the Smoke-Smoke Fruit's power.

This guy is toxic!

How does he even add "side effects" to other people's Devil Fruit abilities?

"Don't think you can escape just like that!"

Smoker gritted his teeth and threw the sea-prison-stone jitte in his hand; once the sea-prison stone at the tip touched Sima Di, his "Devil Fruit ability" would likewise be nullified, and that would be Smoker's chance to turn the tables!

Sima Di, wanting to test the newly acquired "Lucky Halo," did not move.

Just as it was about to smash into Sima Di,

Luffy, who was experiencing the joy of flight, happened to sweep past and perfectly took on the role of a human shield.

"Bam!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The sea-prison-stone jitte spun through the air in an arc, and the handle landed neatly in Sima Di's hand.

"Oh? An interesting ability." Sima Di said with a smile.

Luffy beside him was clutching his head and wailing in pain, but he did not fall to the ground—Sima Di's Word Spirit ability was not a Devil Fruit ability, so of course the sea-prison stone had no effect.

"Hiss—"

"How could that be?"

"I'm clearly immune to all blunt attacks, so why does it hurt so much!"

"It hurts more than when Nami hits me!"

Sima Di grabbed Luffy by the collar and waved the sea-prison-stone jitte at Smoker.

"Thanks for the gift, buddy."

"See you on the seas, if fate allows!"

Then he turned and flew toward the port.

Smoker instinctively willed his ability to activate and fly in pursuit, only to be choked by his own smoke and break into a violent coughing fit!

By the time he held his breath and burst out of the smoke, where was there any trace of Sima Di and the others?

"Damnable!"

"You won't get away!"

Dragon, hidden in the shadows, watched Sima Di leading Luffy away with great interest.

"Seems like a pretty reliable little fellow, just don't know what his background is."

At the port,

When Sima Di brought Luffy here, he saw Marines setting up cannons and bombarding the Going Merry.

The situation was a little dangerous.

"The Merry's in danger! Put me down quick!" Luffy hurriedly said.

Sima Di let go, letting Luffy go play on his own, while his gaze turned to the dense clouds covering the sky.

He wondered whether the grand spectacle he had created could earn him a sign-in reward.

【All the lightning energy within the dark clouds above the port descends!】

"Rumble rumble—"

"Rumble rumble—"

"Rumble rumble—"

Vast quantities of lightning came pouring down like a torrential rain, enveloping the Marines on the shore as well as Luffy and Sima Di; Smoker, who had only just arrived, held his breath and activated his elemental form to barely escape the disaster.

When the baptism of lightning faded,

Apart from the lightning-immune Sima Di and Luffy, who were still conscious, all the Marines lay sprawled on the ground, out cold.

In the sky,

Sima Di curled his lips into a delighted smile, because......

【Item has been placed into the System Space!】

Bingo!

He really could create his own famous scenes to sign in!

Then there would be plenty of room to maneuver in the future.

"Not bad at all...... huh?"

Sima Di noticed his voice had become a hoarse croak, and his head was a little foggy.

This was the sign of his Word Spirit ability being overused.

Although it could achieve something close to "letting the word be the law," it was not without cost, and it had its limits; overdrawing it would result in a ruined voice like now.

After all, he had just summoned a natural disaster.

To prevent the condition from worsening,

Sima Di canceled the effect of his Word Spirit ability, and his and Luffy's flight abilities vanished along with it.

The next second,

Sima Di took out the Rooster Talisman from his system space, activated its psychokinesis to levitate himself, but Luffy was too far away to reach, so he could only make it crash to the ground.

Fortunately,

as a Rubber Man, he wasn't afraid of falls.

As soon as he stood up,

Luffy shouted loudly: "So cool! Sima, you're amazing! You can summon lightning! So was the lightning that saved me on the execution platform also summoned by you?"

Sima Di opened his mouth to speak, then closed it again.

He needed to rest his voice.

He merely nodded and pointed toward the Thousand Sunny.

Meanwhile,

Smoker charged toward Luffy with a furious expression, but dared not use his Moku Moku no Mi again—he didn't know Sima Di's Word-Spell ability had already failed.

"Hah! See you later!"

Luffy grabbed Zoro's neck with his left hand toward the Thousand Sunny, and swung his right hand toward Sima Di to drag him up into the air, but Sima Di silently blocked him with psychokinesis.

——Like hell I'm flying with you!

"Huh?"

Luffy had no time to say more,

his rubber arm retracted, and with a solid headbutt, he slammed into Zoro, who stared in terror and cursed.

"Boom!"

The sound...

Tsk tsk!

Sima Di rubbed his face, thinking: Zoro somehow didn't get disfigured by the end—quite durable.

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in for the iconic scene "Luffy's Unique Way of Returning to the Ship!", received sign-in reward: "Li Jing's 100% Barehanded Catch of the Bai Ren"!】

"Li Jing's 100% Barehanded Catch of the Bai Ren": Equip any weapon with "sword" in its name to activate. Effect: After every sword strike, someone will inevitably catch it barehanded! Extendable skill potential!;

——————————

Sima Di: "..."

This ability is just as ridiculous as Luffy's way of returning to the ship!

And it's a passive skill—Sima Di will never be able to wield a sword again.
