Chapter 326

"Say what? Praise you for being cruel or perverted?"

That portrait had already surfaced in Lord Lord Sima Di's mind... a thin, tall middle-aged man with deep-set eye sockets and sallow skin, his eyes not large but carrying a fierce light and abnormal madness; no one would ever want to make eye contact with such a pair of eyes.

"Don't be so cold, after all, I gave you a Permanent Log Pose on that island. All of this is to make up for the disaster caused by you, the variable. You know, once these things deviate from their original route, it's very likely they will never be found again... But fortunately, you have some self-awareness and didn't cause too much trouble."

"Even if I wanted to cause trouble, I couldn't. I can't change the island's magnetic field. I am far from having the same grand ambitions as you."

"It seems you already know about the New Energy and Moore."

"My English isn't as bad as you think, isn't it just Emotion?"

"Hehehehe, according to records, you also know Russian and Japanese, don't you? I think you have a lot in common with those guys..."

"Don't get sidetracked, let's talk about business." Lord Lord Sima Di interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Alright, Mr. Heart, let's talk about business..." Lucas said, his tone suddenly changing, "You can go on adventures with Luffy and the others as you please, you can even expose the Blank Century, or kill all those eyesore Celestial Dragons, that's no problem. But... as for investigating the Spades, let's stop here. Bruce's matter was just a warning... Of course, if you want to return to us, that's another matter. We still welcome juniors, especially one like you."

"Is that so?" Lord Lord Sima Di revealed an imperceptible smile, "Do you... dare to kill the Straw Hat Pirates?"

There was a silence on Lucas's end for several minutes; he couldn't adapt to Lord Lord Sima Di's sudden question.

"...Of course we don't dare. In the words of your country, they are the people chosen by Heaven's Will, protected by Jesus. If we insist on being their enemy, there is only a dead end."

"Jesus is yours, don't put him together with Heaven's Will."

"Oh? Is that so? I thought this world belonged to Jesus."

"But as far as I know, you don't believe in Jesus."

"That's right, I only believe in myself... Mr. Heart, can you tell me why you asked this strange question?"

"Since you don't dare to touch them, doesn't that mean I can act unscrupulously? Including stopping you from completing her."

"Hehehehe, Mr. Heart, you really know how to joke. Do you really want to die?"

"Do you know how I came to this world? It was a failed suicide attempt. Now that I've picked up a life, naturally I have to find ways to continue opposing you."

"You know our methods." There was a trace of anger in Lucas's tone.

"You also know my methods." Lord Lord Sima Di narrowed her eyes, her whole person carrying a sense of ferocity.

Seeing Lord Lord Sima Di like this, Aila stepped back involuntarily. Her heart was filled with both fear and reverence.

The number of lives in Heart's hands might be the fewest among all generations, but every single one of them was a tough character who could serve as a substitute for the Spades.

"What a pity, it seems our negotiation has broken down."

"Is it a pity? I don't think so."

"You must know that even if Luffy is the fated person of this world, Heaven's protection for him has a time limit! Just like Gol D. Roger, no matter how great he was, he only lived for fifty-three years. If you intervene, Luffy might not live to be fifty-three!"

"Luffy and we are not on the same path. Even if we were blown up together, not a single spark would fall on him!"

"Heart, since you have already decided, prepare your own grave!"

"I've already prepared it, and I've been lying in it for fourteen years. How about I build you a marble one?"

"Thriller Bark..."

"What?"

"Someone is looking forward to meeting you."

"Who is it?"

"You don't need to know that. You'd better hurry up and make yourself stronger, otherwise, dying as miserably as Number Seven would be too unworthy."

"Hmph! No matter who you send, be prepared for a one-way trip!"

After Lord Lord Sima Di finished speaking, she slammed the receiver down. The force was so great that even the Den Den Mushi gave her a resentful look.

"Lord Heart... it seems the negotiation has broken down?" Aila asked, looking disappointed.

"Need you ask? It seems that criminal record book didn't record everything I've done. What I do has always been the exact opposite of the Spades." Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Aila, her gaze unkind, "Tell me, where is the Spades' base?"

"In the New World, on a very hidden island."

"Is there a Permanent Log Pose?"

"It was on Big Brother, now it should have been burned to carbon along with the flames."

"If I had known, I would have used other methods to kill him, but there should still be Tyrant Tyrant Kuma, I can only use that opportunity..." Lord Lord Sima Di muttered to herself.

"Lord Heart, what did you say?"

"Nothing, nothing... Besides these, what else do you know about the Spades?"

92 No Reason to Let Go

Aila thought for a moment and said a few things. But these were all things Lord Lord Sima Di already knew, or rather, Lord Lord Sima Di knew even more than Aila did. And when asked about Bruce, Aila and the others had only worked with Bruce for the first time, so they knew very little about him.

"...So, Lord Heart, I have no more utility value, right? But Lord Heart, I... don't want to fight you, and I can't beat you." Aila looked at Lord Lord Sima Di with a pitiful gaze.

"Yet I don't have a single reason to let go of a murderer who finds pleasure in cannibalism..." There was not a shred of sympathy in Lord Lord Sima Di's gaze.

Lord Lord Sima Di and the Spades were in an adversarial relationship, but looking at what she had done, it was no different from the Spades.

Paranoia. Madness. Hatred.

Everything the past generations of Spades possessed, Lord Lord Sima Di possessed as well.

This is also why Lord Lord Sima Di said she was never on the same path as Luffy.

"...Tell me, are you afraid of death?"

"How could I be afraid of death? If I can die for Lord Heart, it is my honor." Aila's expression was infatuated and fanatical.

Lord Lord Sima Di didn't know what methods the Spade organization used to turn these people into such devout believers, but from this moment on, it was beneficial to her.

"This place... I'll leave it to you."

"Yes! Lord Heart!"

This might be the best ending for Aila.

By now, the sky outside had completely darkened.

The gale was mixed with heavy rain, and the once calm river channels in the city had turned into ferocious beasts.

Lord Lord Sima Di pressed her left arm, enduring the pain as she walked in the direction of her memory.

"Luffy! Zoro! Lord Lord Sima Di!"

Lord Lord Sima Di finally heard the shouting.

"Facing Facing Nami! Chopper! I'm here!"

"It's Lord Lord Sima Di! Hurry up and sail the ship over!"

Not long after, Lord Lord Sima Di saw the two of them bringing the fleet over.

Facing Facing Nami immediately jumped off the ship and gave Lord Lord Sima Di a big hug, "Lord Lord Sima Di, we finally found you! Your eyes have recovered! That's great!"

Facing Facing Nami's arm happened to hit the fractured area, making Lord Lord Sima Di gasp in pain.

"What's wrong?" Facing Facing Nami let go of Lord Lord Sima Di and took a step back, "Hey... your left hand..."

"It's nothing, I just fell accidentally..." Lord Lord Sima Di said casually.

But even after she said it, she felt it was stupid; naturally, Facing Facing Nami couldn't believe it.

"Look at the mess you're in, did you fall into a sewer?" Facing Facing Nami scolded, "Seriously! Chopper! Hurry up and treat Lord Lord Sima Di! This idiot doesn't know where she went to get into this state again!"

"Lord Lord Sima Di! You're hurt!" Chopper hurried down to examine Lord Lord Sima Di's injuries.

"Hmm... it shouldn't be very serious, sorry for the trouble." Lord Lord Sima Di said, "By the way, what are you planning to do now?"

"Don't try to change the subject! What exactly were you doing just now?" Facing Facing Nami questioned aggressively.

"This... I met a few old enemies, so we started fighting." Lord Lord Sima Di thought for a moment and said.

"Old enemies? Is it CP9?" Facing Facing Nami asked with concern; those guys were all very powerful characters.

"It has nothing to do with CP9, they are much weaker than them, it's just because there were three of them that I got a little hurt. Now they have all been dealt with, they won't chase us anymore." Lord Lord Sima Di changed the subject, "Speaking of which, are we going to find Robin? I heard a little bit about this from the passersby."

"That's right! We are going to Enies Lobby to save Robin! But before that, we have to find Zoro and Luffy!" Facing Facing Nami looked at the coastline, which had receded to its extreme position, as if it would turn into a violent Aqua Laguna at any moment.

"Lord Lord Sima Di! The wound has been roughly treated! Try not to use your left hand!" Chopper skillfully bandaged Lord Lord Sima Di.

"Thanks, Chopper." Lord Lord Sima Di moved her left arm slightly and found it still hurt and she couldn't use strength, but normal movements were fine, "Let's go! Hurry up and find them! The storm won't be long in coming!"

"But... the magic sword is gone, is it really okay?" Chopper's height happened to notice a position others couldn't see.

Lord Lord Sima Di was just about to speak when she heard a boom.

Everyone followed the sound and discovered that a house a few streets away had exploded.

A resident who recognized it immediately said loudly, "It's Dock One!"

"Is it those guys who caused it? They haven't left here yet!"

"Not only did they hurt Mr. Iceburg, but they also took the opportunity to cause destruction! What damn guys!"

Lord Lord Sima Di breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems the magic sword will be back soon..."

"How come?" Facing Facing Nami and Chopper said in unison.
