Chapter 342

"Spirit Imbuing."

One of the two shells spat out raging flames, and the other spat out countless iron thorns...

The raging flames transformed into floating fire spirits, surveying the surroundings with golden pupils.

Countless iron thorns danced and intertwined, as flexible as snakes, instantly covering the entire hull; seen from afar, they looked like weeds clinging to the ship.

The magic sword at Lord Lord Sima Di's waist also felt Lord Lord Sima Di's fighting intent and flew out with a *zing*, guarding Lord Lord Sima Di's surroundings.

Lord Lord Sima Di was startled by the magic sword.

Facing Facing Nami looked over and said, "Oh my, Lord Lord Sima Di, you can already imbue three spirits?"

Lord Lord Sima Di, however, stared blankly at the magic sword hovering in front of him and didn't speak.

"What's wrong?" Facing Facing Nami noticed something was amiss.

"I... I should only be able to imbue two objects..." Lord Lord Sima Di said.

In fact, based on Lord Lord Sima Di's training speed, he should be able to imbue five now. It's just that three of those "slots" had disappeared as permanent consumption slots for some reason, and Lord Lord Sima Di only had two slots left now.

That fire spirit, and the iron thorns used for protection.

"Two objects? Then the magic sword is..." Facing Facing Nami was surprised.

Lord Lord Sima Di reached out, and the magic sword affectionately pressed against him. He gripped the hilt tightly with a backhand, and the magic sword let out a hum, sending a happy consciousness to Lord Lord Sima Di.

"The little soul inside this... has awakened... the true sword spirit of the magic sword." Lord Lord Sima Di said.

Lord Lord Sima Di cursed himself in his heart for being an idiot.

Since creatures like ship spirits could exist in this world, how could the often-praised sword spirits and blade spirits not exist?

Boom—

Lord Lord Sima Di recovered from the shock brought by the sword spirit and looked toward where the sound came from.

"First Pillar separation complete!"

The Navy's voice came from the Den Den Mushi on the ship.

"Inside the First Pillar are CP9's Rob Lucci and Straw Hat Luffy!"

"The entire fleet has deployed around the Bridge of Hesitation, confirming that on the bridge and the escort ship are..."

"Ten pirates including the pirate Zoro and Nico Robin! They are the main force of the pirate crew that defeated CP9 on the Judicial Tower! Besides them, there is also a CP9 intern, Zi Zi Zi Busheng! Based on the current situation, it is judged that he has rebelled!"

The voice inside the Den Den Mushi was urgent, and the surrounding warships slowly gathered around.

Each of these warships summoned by the Buster Call was three to five times larger than the escort ship Lord Lord Sima Di and the others were on.

Surrounded by these behemoths, this ship appeared exceptionally weak.

Zoro and the others saw Luffy on one side of the bridge.

They shouted loudly.

Telling Luffy that all the crew members had arrived and Robin was fine.

So...

We are here, so you don't need to worry.

Please fight with all your might, Luffy.

The moment Zi Zi Zi Busheng saw Luffy, he felt more excited than seeing anyone else.

"Luffy! Go for it! Defeat him!"

Luffy looked confused, thinking, who is this guy? But he looks like he should be on our side, right?

Rob Lucci raised an eyebrow when he saw Zi Zi Zi Busheng. He had always felt there was something strange about this kid; sure enough, he was a traitor.

"So next, it depends on how long we can hold out." Zoro said.

Luffy couldn't hear his words, but the few people beside him heard them clearly.

On Lord Lord Sima Di's side.

Lord Lord Sima Di looked up at the warships that had already approached.

"Those below the rank of Major do not need to sortie! Dispatch an elite force of three hundred men composed of Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels to finish this quickly!"

"Three hundred men..." Lord Lord Sima Di frowned. He remembered it was two hundred, right? What's with the three hundred? Could this be a special favor for him and Zi Zi Zi Busheng?

Once the order was given, countless Navy Lieutenant Colonels and Colonels jumped down from the warships like dumplings.

Probably because there were more people here, only one-third of the Navy rushed over to this side, while the others targeted Zoro and the others.

"Even if it's four hundred, I can stop them." Lord Lord Sima Di's eyes were sharp.

Since this was the butterfly effect he brought, he must have a way to break that butterfly's wings so it could never fly again!

"Thorn Dance! Fireball Feast! Please enjoy them well!"

The iron thorns grew wildly following Lord Lord Sima Di's command, rushing into the charging Navy. Every time an iron thorn swung, it was accompanied by countless screams.

The fire spirit flew into mid-air, and with a wave of its hand, countless fireballs fell. The Navy soldiers who were hit couldn't endure the pain of burning and jumped into the sea one after another.

The falling rain of fire hit the swinging iron thorns, and the flames burned along them, turning into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.

Lord Lord Sima Di stopped more than half of the Navy with his own strength, leaving only a very small portion for the other three. If it weren't for the volume limitations of the spirit imbuing, those iron thorns could have stopped all the Navy.

Facing Facing Nami looked at this scene in shock.

Was the Lord Lord Sima Di who had always been weak in her impression actually such a formidable existence? She didn't know when, but had Lord Lord Sima Di also become an existence on par with Zoro and Sanji?

"You pirates, unforgivable!"

A Navy Colonel rushed out of the sea of fire, with only minor injuries.

The magic sword flew through at high speed, but the opponent dodged it.

Lord Lord Sima Di's face showed no surprise. Because he had already noticed this person through the modeling map, his Observation Haki and Armament Haki were both stronger than the average Navy, especially the former, which allowed him to reach Lord Lord Sima Di with only minor injuries.

"Finally, one who is a bit stronger. I thought you Navy were all trash..." Lord Lord Sima Di revealed a wicked smile, as if he had been looking forward to this.

At the same time, the magic sword landed in his hand, emitting a chilling light.

Facing Facing Nami looked at the fearless Lord Lord Sima Di and suddenly felt that this version of Lord Lord Sima Di... was the real him.

"Seven-Star Fierce Sparrow!"

Seven cold lights flashed, bringing up six blades of flying blood.

The flying blood, in the flickering, actually formed the shape of a fierce sparrow spreading its wings.

Lord Lord Sima Di watched the Navy Colonel fall before him, his expression unchanged.

If one ignores the Devil Fruit ability, in terms of pure strength and Haki, Lord Lord Sima Di was already at the level of a Navy Commodore (of course, relying more on Haki), so dealing with these Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel-level guys was naturally effortless.

After the energy in the Flame Shell was exhausted, Lord Lord Sima Di took out a Wind Shell. The Navy's confrontation suddenly changed from fire to invisible wind.

The hundred people on Lord Lord Sima Di's side were quickly dealt with, leaving only twenty or thirty hesitating and not daring to attack.

"Damn it! These cunning pirates! Fire! Sink this ship for me!"

The Navy commander issued the order to fire.

At this moment, the Navy Colonels and Lieutenant Colonels still alive on the ship changed their expressions instantly.

"Sir! We are still on the ship!"

"Can't fire, sir!"

"We don't want to die!"

Lord Lord Sima Di gave a disdainful "tch," "Can't win, so you play the demolition squad!"

Lord Lord Sima Di immediately mobilized the iron thorns to change direction, protecting the entire ship. He deflected all the shells heading this way, even bouncing them back onto the Navy's ships.

But the Navy still didn't give up, even bringing their ships directly alongside.

The Navy soldiers on the ship, regardless of whether they were above the rank of Major, rushed down in a swarm.

"After the demolition squad, you want to use human waves?" Lord Lord Sima Di was angry, but helpless. He canceled the fire spirit's imbuing and replaced it with A-Yin.

A-Yin transformed into a horned eagle, let out a cry, and carried the immobile Chopper, Kokoro, and the others on its back.

"Facing Facing Nami! Robin! Franky! Let's go!" Lord Lord Sima Di shouted.

"But Lord Lord Sima Di... what do we do if we lose the ship?" Facing Facing Nami's expression was anxious.

"Don't worry! Someone will come to pick us up!"

"Someone?"

"Believe in me!" Lord Lord Sima Di said.

Facing Facing Nami had no choice but to nod and retreat while fighting with the others.
