Chapter 321

“You old fossil, hurry up and hand over the item!”

“The item is no longer in my hands. I have hidden it in a place, a place you would never think of.”

“Then hurry up and speak! Otherwise, I will let you taste my torture!”

“Torture? Hmph.” He pulled out the gun in his hand and fired a shot quickly.

The big man who had grabbed the old man realized something was wrong, immediately dodged, and used Armament Haki to defend against the attack.

“Old guy, you should know that this kind of pistol is like a toy to us. Don’t resist anymore, just hurry up and confess the whereabouts of the item!”

“That item contains hope, how could I hand it over... and also...” He revealed a strange smile, “Guns are useless against you, but they are useful to me.”

He raised the pistol to his own temple.

Bang——

The big man stared blankly at the fallen man.

He hadn’t expected this old guy, who had always cherished his life, to be so decisive.

The big man cursed in a low voice; this was great, all clues were broken. If that item fell into the hands of others, their doomsday would arrive.

Wait, what did he say just now?

He hid the item in a place he wouldn’t think of?

“Old guy, didn’t expect your words before death would betray your thoughts, did you? This item must be hidden within this Water 7. Even if I have to turn this city upside down, I will find that item!”

The big man’s expression was sinister; if Zoro were present, he would definitely recognize this person as the one he had met on Hage Island, the first person to rush out of the cave to stop him.

The big man prepared to leave, but then thought of the old man’s corpse.

“What a bother, even in death, one needs to be served.”

The big man grumbled, but he still had to dispose of the body.

You know, islands have this advantage, because they are close to the sea.

The big man threw the corpse into the sea, saw a splash on the water, and then it disappeared without a trace.

But what he didn’t know was that the sea has annoying currents, and even more unpredictable... tsunamis.

The Going Merry.

The excitement had passed, and Usopp suddenly remembered something.

“Right! Lord Lord Sima Di!”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“After I was injured, a man in a suit stuffed this thing into my hand. He also said something like ‘Usopp, I know the Heart is on your ship, give this to her, she will know what to do’... I thought about it, the only one on the ship who could be the Heart is you, isn’t there small text on your wanted poster indicating something about a heart?”

Usopp took out the item and handed it to Lord Lord Sima Di.

Lord Lord Sima Di took the item and froze.

“How strange, that person actually knows me, and knows you... What kind of background does he have? Hmm? Lord Lord Sima Di? What’s wrong with you? Is there something strange about this thing?” Usopp asked.

“Uh... no, nothing.”

“Speaking of which, what exactly is this little black square? It looks like chewing gum.”

“Just a souvenir... just a souvenir. Right, do you remember what the person who gave you the item looked like?” Lord Lord Sima Di tucked the item away close to his body.

“He... looks like he should be around fifty, with a meticulously combed-back hairstyle, and... his face is also very long.” Usopp thought for a moment and described him.

A name surfaced in Lord Lord Sima Di’s mind.

It should be him—the person who accidentally participated in the game.

However, why would he give her such a thing?

Something that couldn’t be used here at all.

A USB drive!

“Looking at your expression, you’re very surprised? Is that person your uncle? Or... your father?” Usopp guessed aimlessly.

“He is an uncle, a distant relative.”

“An uncle? But how would he know me?”

“Maybe... you were too dazzling in Luffy and Zoro’s wanted posters.” Lord Lord Sima Di bluffed.

“Haha! Right! It can only be like this! Oh my, I’ve overshadowed their brilliance, I really feel embarrassed! But there’s no helping it! Who told me to be so handsome!”

“Alright, alright, enough small talk. I know you’re handsome, but you are in urgent need of rest, and I... will continue to do what I need to do.”

Lord Lord Sima Di said, then turned and walked into the forward gun deck.

“Okay! Lord Lord Sima Di!” Usopp answered readily.

However, the moment the cabin door closed, the smile on Usopp’s face vanished, replaced by deep worry.

They all knew Lord Lord Sima Di’s background wasn’t simple, but no one dared to ask easily. As long as Lord Lord Sima Di didn’t intend to speak voluntarily, no one planned to ask for the reason.

“I hope Lord Lord Sima Di is okay.”

Usopp said, then turned back to rest.

The next day.

The inn where the Straw Hat crew was staying.

“Nothing... I can’t find her anywhere.” Facing Facing Nami searched Lord Lord Sima Di’s room, but couldn’t even see a shadow.

“What exactly happened... Robin is gone, Usopp has become like that, and even Lord Lord Sima Di is... wuwuwu...” Chopper burst into tears.

“No matter what, let’s go out and look for them first.” Sanji lit a cigarette, feeling annoyed.

“Don’t be in a hurry... what is that.” Zoro stepped forward and picked up the paper blown away by the wind.

On it was Lord Lord Sima Di’s handwriting: I’m going out for a stroll, don’t worry about me.

“Lord Lord Sima Di is better, she left a note, but Robin...” Facing Facing Nami took the note to look at it.

“Let’s go find Miss Robin...” Sanji said.

At Sanji’s suggestion, everyone split into three groups to search.

Luffy and Facing Facing Nami in one group, Chopper and Sanji in one group, and Zoro acting alone.

Zoro was wanted as soon as he went out, Luffy and Facing Facing Nami received news of Iceburg being attacked and rushed to investigate, while Chopper and Sanji learned of the Aqua Laguna...

85 Planning to go to the island to look

Sanji: “Hey! Something big is wrong! The thing called Aqua Laguna is coming!”

Chopper: “That’s right, that’s right! Late tonight, this city will be submerged by seawater! Including this coast!”

Sanji: “This is terrible! We can’t sit and wait for death! Hurry to a high place to take refuge!”

Chopper: “That’s right! That’s right! Hurry to take refuge! Refuge! Refuge!”

On the Going Merry.

Usopp stood on the deck, as if hearing someone shouting in the distance, and coincidentally Lord Lord Sima Di opened the door and came out from the forward gun deck.

“Lord Lord Sima Di, did you hear something?”

“It’s Chopper and Sanji. They came to notify us that a tsunami is coming soon, and told us to go take refuge...” Lord Lord Sima Di said, “See, everyone still cares about you.”

“Chopper... Sanji...” Usopp was lost in thought, then suddenly got off the ship, preparing to go apologize to the two.

However, Chopper and Sanji, out of consideration for Usopp’s self-esteem, had already run off without a trace.

“Let’s fix the ship first and park the Merry in a safer place,” Lord Lord Sima Di suggested, “As for the apology... we have plenty of time.”

“...Okay, Lord Lord Sima Di.”

14 The two prepared to fix the ship, but found that materials were insufficient. They left the ship together to purchase some materials.

Fortunately, Lord Lord Sima Di had the habit of carrying money with her, so she easily bought the materials. At this time, Agin also transformed into the appearance of a large dog, carrying the materials for the two.

At this time, Water 7 was very desolate, with almost no pedestrians on the street. And the strong wind howled, raging in the alleys.

But there was one place where many people had gathered, and they were watching something.

“Who exactly is so cruel?”

“I think he committed suicide, right?”

“First Mr. Iceburg had an accident, and then another corpse appeared...”

“Maybe this person also fell victim to an assassin.”

“If it weren’t for the tsunami’s low tide, I guess he would never have been discovered...”

“How pitiful...”

The crowd discussed one after another.

“It seems like something happened over there, Lord Lord Sima Di, should we go over and take a look?” Usopp asked.
