Chapter 324

“Gelman, Aila... that’s not necessarily true.”

The two saw Lord Lord Sima Di’s slightly provocative expression and knew they had walked into someone else’s trap.

Whoosh——

The iron shell jumped out directly and spat out iron thorns quickly.

Aila didn’t react in time; only a silver light flashed, and the iron thorns directly pierced his abdomen, pinning him firmly to the wall. And Gelman, relying on Observation Haki, brushed past the iron thorns and barely escaped a disaster.

Lord Lord Sima Di narrowed her eyes slightly.

This Gelman... although not a Devil Fruit user, he doesn’t look easy to deal with at all...

“Big brother! Save me!” Aila endured the severe pain and asked Gelman for help.

However, Gelman just snorted coldly and cursed him as trash. Aila smiled bitterly; he knew this was an expected reaction, but he still couldn’t stand it.

Gelman looked at Lord Lord Sima Di, his expression sinister, “How did you guy know we hadn’t left?”

“That can only be said that you are stupid... clearly important items need to be guarded, yet you both left together; isn’t this clearly baiting me to take the hook? If there was only one person, I might have really been fooled.” Lord Lord Sima Di pointed out their loopholes without hesitation, “Compared to this, I want to know more about how you knew I was here? I clearly avoided all surveillance.”

“We didn’t know you were here. We just felt that Divens hadn’t returned for a long time, and thinking about it, we knew something had happened. We left just to lure the snake out of the hole, but didn’t expect to really lure out a snake... Speak! What did you do to the third brother?”

“Killed him.” Lord Lord Sima Di’s answer was exceptionally concise.

“You guy! Today I must beat you into meat paste! As tonight’s dinner!” Gelman roared and punched over.

Lord Lord Sima Di took out the divine art blade, wanting to receive this attack, but foresight told her that the fist would be covered with Armament Haki and she didn’t have the strength to contend with it, so she immediately turned the blade, took Lord Lord Sima Di, and flashed away, pulling distance from the opponent.

In Gelman’s eyes, it was Lord Lord Sima Di making a feint, as if she was making fun of him.

“Punch!” Gelman became even angrier, his entire arm was covered with Armament Haki, and he hit Lord Lord Sima Di with the shortest distance and maximum energy.

Lord Lord Sima Di dodged this punch and took the opportunity to launch an attack.

“Flash Star!”

The blade hit Gelman’s shoulder, but that place had already been covered with Armament Haki, and the divine art blade couldn’t break the defense.

Damn, this Gelman, besides Armament Haki, actually also knows Observation Haki!

Gelman smiled cunningly and punched over.

This punch was very fast, without any dragging. It was as if it was the second move following the punch.

But in fact, there were many people who slashed over like Lord Lord Sima Di but found they couldn’t cut, and this move completely became Gelman’s subconscious attack.

Lord Lord Sima Di hurriedly raised her arm to block, and her whole person was sent flying, slamming fiercely into the wall, smashing a big hole in the wall.

“I thought you were some kind of master who could beat the third brother, but after all this time, you’re still trash.” Gelman laughed, his eyes full of disdain.

Lord Lord Sima Di got up disheveled, her right hand still holding the divine art blade, but her left hand hung powerlessly, full of blood.

Previously, her left hand had been injured by Divens’s Hundred Flowers Bloom, and now it was hit by a punch and the bone cracked.

However, this kind of injury was much smaller compared to her eyes; after Chopper’s treatment, it would be 80% better within a day.

Lord Lord Sima Di turned back and spat out a mouthful of blood, then said: “Although you are not as good as the trash subordinate in terms of speed, you are more than twice as strong in power and reaction.”

“Should I say thank you for the compliment? You should know that no one can beat me in fighting techniques.” Gelman said, sizing her up without hesitation, “I hope you are a novice, because that way the meat won’t be sour.”

“Your hope is correct, but the method I use to defeat you is not just in fighting.” Lord Lord Sima Di sheathed the divine art blade and took out a shell instead.

Gelman’s eyes became vigilant, “Why, want to use that thing that can launch iron thorns to defeat me? No, you can’t break my Armament Haki at all.”

“Who said I only have one kind of shell.” Lord Lord Sima Di smiled slightly and pressed the shell.

The shell sprayed a large amount of flames at Gelman suddenly.

On the Sky Island, Lord Lord Sima Di not only confiscated some iron shells from the Trial of Iron, but also confiscated the fire shell of that three-zhang bird. These spoils of war increased Lord Lord Sima Di’s combat power by more than just a little bit.

Gelman dodged immediately, only being slightly grazed by the flames.

“This kind of thing can indeed hurt me, but if it can’t hit, there’s no way... that is? Are you a Devil Fruit user?” Gelman just wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but only saw a fire man standing beside Lord Lord Sima Di.

Lord Lord Sima Di waved at Gelman with a smile.

“Have a safe journey!”

“What?”

Gelman looked in shock as the fire man raised his hand and seven fireballs appeared, hitting him in a very strange arrangement.

89 Am I your fan?

Pyramid schemes and this thing can’t be compared.

To be honest, if it weren’t for the appearance of that person, Lord Lord Sima Di would find it hard to imagine what she is like now.

“Aila, now I only give you two options, one is to die quickly, and the other is to be tortured until you are unrecognizable and then... die.”

Lord Lord Sima Di approached Aila and looked directly into her eyes.

“Now there is only you left... what? Are you going to confess now or tell the truth after being tortured?”

Lord Lord Sima Di said, feeling something was wrong. The expression on Aila’s face didn’t have the fear of a person at the end of the road at all, replaced by that half-smiling expression.

At this time, the Transcendental Observation Haki also told her about herself three seconds later, but it was too late.

Still careless...

Lord Lord Sima Di only felt a buzz in her head, all thoughts fading away like a tide, leaving a large blank space, just to give way to that voice.

Commit suicide.

Use your own blade.

Dying... is your final destination!

Aila watched Lord Lord Sima Di’s painful appearance with a smile.

“Yes, yes... pick up the blade and put it on your own neck.”

Lord Lord Sima Di’s hand was placed on the hilt of the divine art blade, and she slowly drew the blade.

“That’s right, just like that...”

“Hehe, if I let you die like this, wouldn’t it be too cheap for you?”

“Big brother died so painfully, I see the third brother can’t be spared either.”

“But to be safe, I won’t torture you... die quickly for me!”

Swish

Aila’s pupils constricted, looking at the blade placed on her neck in disbelief.

“You...”

But the owner of the blade was already two meters away from Aila, patting her own face, trying to make herself sober.

“Really careless, didn’t expect your Devil Fruit ability to be like this... aren’t you a user of the Dog-Dog Fruit?” Lord Lord Sima Di said.

Divens told her that the eldest brother was good at fighting techniques, and the second sister was a Dog-Dog Fruit user.

“It seems the third brother didn’t tell you everything, the red fox is also a canine animal.” Aila grinned, her face already transformed into the appearance of a fox. But Aila still couldn’t break free from the iron thorns, let alone, a divine art blade was still placed on her neck.

Lord Lord Sima Di tsked.

She should have thought of it earlier. Although that guy told the truth, he concealed some important information. For example, the fact that Gelman could use two types of Haki was not told to her.

“Tell me! How did you break free from my hypnosis! My hypnosis has yet to be broken by anyone!” Aila shouted.

“Have you ever tried to cast hypnosis on your master?” Lord Lord Sima Di turned around and rubbed her temples, not looking into Aila’s eyes.

“How could I cast it on the master! No... no... I seem to have cast it once...” Aila suddenly remembered what happened when she first received the master’s reward; in order to show her ability, she had cast hypnosis on the master once, but it was instantly broken by the master.

Afterward, she had asked why the master could not be affected by her hypnosis...

[Do you expect to control a madman with faith using hypnosis? That’s not as useful as a sedative. Not just me, there are others. Don’t think about hypnotizing them with that ridiculous hypnosis, otherwise, once you provoke them, I can’t protect you.]

[Do the Spades lords have faith? Is their faith the true master of Spades?]

[Him? It’s too early to want to control us, we are just in a cooperative relationship. We each have different faiths, some faiths are people, some faiths are objects, some faiths... are even just an intangible concept.]

[Then the master’s faith is...]

[Myself.]

“Seeing you silent, I believe you have already gotten the answer... Alright, now tell me, how to open this strange box.” Lord Lord Sima Di said.

“...Are you a madman with faith?” Aila asked tentatively.

“A madman with faith? Worthy of being the ancestor of toxic chicken soup, even a casual remark can sublimate the concept... Whether I have faith or not, I don’t know, but I only know... I am a madman who cannot go crazy.”

This woman had her back to Aila, she couldn’t see her expression, but could hear the pain in her voice.

“A madman who cannot go crazy...”

“Don’t go off-topic, tell me, how to open this box. If I’m in a good mood, maybe I’ll spare your life.” Lord Lord Sima Di walked to the box and knocked on it.

Aila pondered for a moment and spoke: “Okay, I’ll tell you the password. But you must first tell me who you are? Why are you investigating Spades...”

“You want to know that much?”

“Yes....”
