Chapter 306

Sima Di rubbed the center of his brow, yet it was not fitting to strike a killing blow directly.

In that case...

I can only use that move I haven't employed in ages!

Sima Di stepped half a pace forward, placing Robin behind him so she would not be caught in the crossfire.

"Swish—"

The terrified Duke Inuarashi charged straight ahead, but no matter how fast his speed, it could not surpass Sima Di's sword; his charge turned into a kneeling slide, and he obediently performed an empty-handed catch of the white blade.

At the same time, golden light burst forth in Sima Di's eyes!

"What is filial piety?"

"What is love?"

"Do you know the greatness of a mother's love?"

"Appraisal Technique!!!"

Gilded light enveloped Duke Inuarashi, and inadvertently, Gatz, who was sitting up in a daze, was also caught in the effect.

The bellies of the dog and the rabbit swelled to the size of ten months' pregnancy within a few breaths, and immediately their expressions changed drastically!

Duke Inuarashi could still endure it, but Gatz immediately clutched his huge belly and rolled on the ground!

"Ah—"

"Pain—"

"What is this!"

"Aaaaaah—"

Sima Di withdrew the hundred-percent empty-handed catch of the white blade, watching Duke Inuarashi, who still clutched his belly and stubbornly tried to stand up to continue blocking him.

Why won't he listen?

Fine!

Then...

"Critical backstab of the Ice Cream Assassin!"

An ice cream bar flew out,

and Duke Inuarashi instinctively sensed something was wrong and tried to dodge, but the moment his foot moved, a piercing pain shot through his belly; a slight hesitation meant he was hit by the ice cream, which merged into his body.

In the next instant,

his spirits plummeted and his mood turned ice-cold; "Thump," he knelt down directly before Sima Di once more.

"Woof—I am guilty!"

"Woof—I cannot even protect my own people!"

"Woof—I am unworthy to guard the original copy of the Red Road Poneglyph!"

Treating Sima Di entirely as a "wall-cliff of meditation," his inner thoughts spilled out one by one in strange verbal tics.

Sima Di, however, had little desire to listen further.

The Straw Hat Pirates' current enemies are at the level of BIG MOM, Kaido, and the World Government; for minor officers like Duke Inuarashi and the others, Sima Di simply felt no great interest.

"Let's go." Sima Di turned and left: "This is my territory; asking them was merely a matter of courtesy. We will go see the original copy of the Red Road Poneglyph ourselves."

If anyone else tried to stop him, he would no longer hold back!

"Mm, let's go."

The two flew away, leaving behind Duke Inuarashi and Gatz with their swollen bellies.

Sima Di could not help but look forward to it...

The first Red Road Poneglyph; I wonder what check-in reward it will give?

I'm looking forward to it!

???????????????

Begging for flowers! Only 90 more needed for an extra chapter!

34. Invincible Reward! The Secret Chamber Within the Poneglyph!

A patch: Pekoms is a "Turtle-Turtle Fruit user"; because he used a Giant Serum, his Devil Fruit abilities were stripped, and he has returned to being an ordinary human!

???????????????

Whale Forest, inside the Whale Tree.

The spiraling staircase leads down to its end, where the towering Red Road Poneglyph stands!

At the very first sight of it,

both Sima Di and Robin were excited!

The difference was...

Sima Di was excited because the check-in reward for this famous scene was ridiculously awesome!

【Ding! Congratulations on checking in at the famous scene "Red Road Poneglyph!" You have received the check-in reward: "Saitama's Human Limiter Removal from One-Punch Man, where the bald man became stronger despite the utterly unique art style and still exploded with hype!"】

——————————

"Saitama's Human Limiter Removal from One-Punch Man, where the bald man became stronger despite the utterly unique art style and still exploded with hype!": Due to power differences between species and individuals, living beings possess limits that cannot be eliminated no matter how much effort they exert. The meaning of this limit is to allow various creatures to grow within the scope of not losing their species' survival instinct and rationality; this growth restriction is called the Limiter. Now, your Limiter has been removed!;

——————————

Hiss—

Truly the man who can give the Earth a middle part with a single punch and must control his strength to avoid crushing the moon!

Even the name of his ability has to be this long?

Limiter Removed!

This granted Saitama, with a mortal body, the ultimate power to rival the gods!

Saitama's "Ordinary Punch" was just like a casual punch from any ordinary person, yet in the early stages, Lord Sima had used it as his trump card.

But now......

Lord Sima also had the chance to become Saitama!

However......

"I won't go bald too, will I?" Lord Sima said, running his hand over his hair.

But on second thought,

With such a powerful ability, there was no reason to give it up over a few inches of hair — and it definitely wasn't because the limiter release was passive; even if he wanted to give it up, there was no way to.

He clenched and unclenched his fists,

Lord Sima could clearly sense that some kind of limiter contained within his flesh had been released; now he only needed to......

"Heh-heh, heh-heh!"

Lord Sima did 100 push-ups on the spot, his strength visibly rising by a small notch, and his Armament Haki swelling along with it.

But then it stopped.

This was normal.

Although the release of the human body's limiter let Lord Sima break through his physical limits, his cells still needed a process of adapting and replenishing nutrients.

Therefore,

Although he could see visible improvement every day, he couldn't improve without limit.

He had to accumulate it bit by bit.

However......

What Lord Sima lacked least was time.

If it were truly urgent,

He could also go into the Room of Time and Spirit, where one year would be enough for him to grow into an invincible state.

Whew!

Right!

Lord Sima thought of the "adventure" at the Sea Forest of Fish-Man Island, opened his spiritual scan, and carefully examined the red road-poneglyph original, checking every space above, below, left, and right.

There was actually nothing?

Lord Sima, refusing to believe it, scanned the Elephant Lord all over again, inside and out, and finally found what he was looking for!

—A secret room!
