Chapter 304

On the ship, Baron Egghead called out: "Pokemus, I just looked around and found a Devil Fruit in the warehouse — it's the Turtle-Turtle Fruit..."

On the Thousand Sunny,

Only after they had moved some distance away did Zoro shove Luffy off in disgust.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't lick my palm with your tongue! That's disgusting!"

"Well! I just smelled meat and instinctively wanted to have a taste." Luffy said with a grin: "Why did you cover my mouth just now?"

"Then tell me what you were about to say just now! You bastard!"

"Oh right!" Luffy struck his palm, fired up: "Di! Give me a tube of Devil Fruit Separation Potion! I can peel off the Rubber... Nika Fruit, and then I can go swimming!"

Don't say it,

This proposal made Robin and the other Devil Fruit users' eyes light up!

Only those who have lost something know how precious it is — swimming really does hold great appeal for Devil Fruit users.

However......

"Bam!"

Nami punched Luffy so hard he was plastered flat against the deck — clearly she had put some force into it.

"Are you an idiot?! How could you use such an important potion on something this weird?!" Nami raged.

Sima Di's Devil Fruit Separation Potion wasn't something he concocted himself — it required him to use Dragon Essence Language to manifest it.

And as one of Sima Di's trump cards,

Dragon Essence Language had many other uses beyond manifesting potions; it absolutely couldn't be used to satisfy Luffy's personal whims.

"Indeed, Luffy-kun, Nami-san is right." Jinbe declared his stance: "You're being far too willful."

"Such a precious potion can't be wasted like this!"

"I also feel Luffy went too far this time."

Everyone spoke with one voice against Luffy, scolding him until he didn't dare make a peep — as captain, he had no authority at all.

But it was precisely this kind of atmosphere that made Sima Di willing to stay.

He waved his hand to stop the group that was denouncing Luffy, and said to Luffy with amusement—

"If you want to swim...... then just get stronger properly."

"Sakazuki was smashed into the seabed by CP0's death-throe counterattack, and he could still climb back up on his own."

"As long as a Devil Fruit user is powerful enough, although they will still be weakened by seawater and Seastone, they can still move freely in the sea — their combat power just drops a bit, that's all."

Although using Sakazuki as an example was a bit odd......

Luffy still saw hope!

"Good! Decided! Di! I'm going to that time-room thing again!" Luffy was fired up with fighting spirit.

"It's the Room of Time and Spirit." Sima Di corrected him: "Perfect, the cooldown is about over too — who's going to accompany Luffy?"

Although he asked this,

Sima Di's gaze was actually on Sanji.

This trip to the BIG MOM Pirates......

Sanji was definitely going to become the "main character."

If his combat power wasn't a bit higher, he might end up holding them back.

Sanji, however, didn't rush to refuse.

"Click!"

He lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and exhaled.

These past few days, none of the Straw Hat Pirates had asked about that wedding invitation, nor mentioned anything about his relationship with the Vinsmoke family.

32. Xenophobic Mink Tribe! What are you barking about?

"We've arrived!" Merry called out.

Sima Di looked outside the ship,

In the drifting clouds and mist, on the broad back of the Elephant Lord, a forest lay spread out, with a large cluster of buildings at its very center.

At the same time,

Sima Di could clearly sense that he had some kind of control over the Elephant Lord, as if he could at any moment

decide its life and death!

This was the power of the contract.

Otherwise,

relying on Sima Di's combat power, to destroy a big fellow like the Elephant Lord would still require Exert Considerable Effort.

"Huh? This country seems to have just gone through a great battle?" Usopp said, puzzled.

Indeed,

The Furry Park was a mess — countless houses had collapsed, and large numbers of Mink Tribe were gathering the bodies of their kin.

It seemed that although the timing was moved up,

Jack had still, for some reason, been in the middle of a killing spree here when he temporarily received news and rushed off to Dressrosa.

Otherwise, he couldn't have gotten there so fast.

"Let's go, head down and take a look." Sima Di said.

The Thousand Sunny descended toward the Furry Park, and when it reached a certain altitude, Chopper suddenly shouted to stop!

"Wait! There's a strange smell in the air! It's......"

"Poison gas." Sima Di said in a low voice: "Poison gas bombs — Caesar's poisonous gas weapons. That's a bit troublesome."

"Ah! Poison gas bombs? Don't those only give 48 hours to treat......"

The crowd glanced at the ground,

The ones who should be dead were already dead, and those still alive were unafraid of the lingering gas in the air.

It seems they arrived late.

【Fresh Air!】

Sima Di used his Voice of All Things ability to directly disperse the gas in the air, and the Thousand Sunny openly descended toward the ground along with it.

This drew the wary gazes of the Mink Tribe on the ground — they had just gone through a war, and now they were like birds startled by the twang of a bow.

Sima Di and the others curiously gazed back as well; they were still very curious about the Mink Tribe.

"They all have thick fur! Just like you, Chopper!" Zoro said in surprise.

"Of course, the Mink Tribe naturally have fur." Nami rolled her eyes: "Also, don't comment on people right in front of them! That's not polite at all!"

"Tch~ Got it." Zoro said with a pout.

The Thousand Sunny had also fully landed, and Sima Di took the lead in disembarking first.

Looking at the wary Mink Tribe, Sima Di did not do too much.

"If I remember correctly, Zou has two kings, in charge of day and night respectively. It's daytime now, so can the Duke of the Day, Inuarashi, come out and talk?"

The words had just fallen,

When a dog-headed Mink Tribe member, mustering his courage, stepped forward to speak with Sima Di.

"We know you, the Straw Hat Pirates! Zou does not welcome outsiders, leave!"

Directly issuing an order to leave......

"Truly not very hospitable at all." Sima Di sighed.

He didn't want to be this troublesome either......

With a single thought,

The sky suddenly darkened. The crowd looked up and saw Zunesha's colossal elephant trunk descending from the sky, stopping abruptly just as it was about to hit Sima Di, the gust of wind it stirred up blowing the people nearby stumbling backward.

Sima Di patted Zunesha's trunk and looked at the Mink Tribe before him.

"Very sorry about that, Zunesha now follows my orders, so...... strictly speaking, you are on my territory."

Not making you pay rent is already decent enough, and you still want us to leave?

Delusional!

The Mink Tribe people were all stunned, clearly unable to accept......

Zunesha actually has a master?
