Chapter 347

"Take this punch!"

Sakazuki fired off an oversized dog-head blast, leaving BIG MOM no time to think through the problem, and once again tangled in combat with Sakazuki.

As for Sima Di's side,

Yi Xiao said: "Earlier you ran into Sakazuki's danger on purpose, didn't you?"

"Ah... after all, that Set of Techniques I passed to him, I didn't know whether getting his dog-head smashed would cause serious injury, so I just gave him a hand with Shunshou Gang." Sima Di said nonchalantly.

Since he was going to recruit Yi Xiao into the gang anyway, there weren't that many Gu Ji to worry about.

Of course......

The show on hand still couldn't be forgotten.

And,

Both deliberately guided their attacks so the aftershock landed on the islands of the World Government — though all in unpopulated areas.

Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass survived!

Even......

Compared to Sakazuki and BIG MOM's battlefield, the destructive power was far more terrifying!

After all, the two of them were heading straight for destruction.

A proper natural-disaster-level destructive force.

However,

Because of Sima Di's Domain of Silence, the commotion over here didn't attract too much attention.

— Right now, aside from the Straw Hat Pirates' people, everyone else was busy fighting for their lives; who had the spare time to pay attention to them?

This was also the best moment for Sima Di to recruit Yi Xiao.

"How about it? Want to join our plan?" Sima Di smiled: "Last time in the Alabasta Kingdom you got away from me; this time you can't run, can you?"

Even your superior is one of my people!

Yi Xiao pondered for a moment.

Then suddenly asked: "If I do not agree, are you planning to silence me?"

The way that question was phrased......

"Don't make me out to be so dark either." Sima Di shrugged: "Since Teach can appear here, and Doflamingo has also reverted from his toy form back to his real body, I'm afraid the World Government has already learned of the Navy's betrayal, so one more tip-off from you won't matter... Besides, you wouldn't do such a thing either — after all... the World Government doesn't align with your sense of justice, does it?"

Yi Xiao fell silent once more.

But......

"Since it's been discovered, I'm afraid the Navy and the World Government are going to go to war again!" Yi Xiao said in a sorrowful tone.

Once war breaks out......

The ones who always get hurt are the common people!

"Necessary sacrifices can't be avoided — after all, where does war not spill blood?" Sima Di said helplessly: "What I can guarantee is that, within the limits of our ability, we will prioritize protecting the common people."

"I believe that." Yi Xiao nodded.

What Sima Di and the Straw Hat Pirates had always done, to put it plainly, was "upholding justice" for the common people — using fists to let righteousness shine across the world.

91. Three Consecutive Word Spirits! Full-Scale War Begins!

"The future I hope for......"

"Children are raised, the educated are taught, laborers earn, the sick are treated, the aged are cared for, the housed have homes, the weak are supported!"

Just twenty-eight characters,

Yet they painted an unimaginably beautiful picture for Yi Xiao!

"Can it really... really achieve such a prosperous age?" Yi Xiao asked in a trembling voice.

The world Sima Di depicted was so beautiful it was beyond imagination!

Compared to now...

Calling it paradise would not be an exaggeration.

But......

Yi Xiao would absolutely never have imagined that, in Sima Di's Zhonghua Family, this was already a basically realized fact.

"I believe that as long as everyone works together, there won't be any problem at all." Sima Di said confidently: "I have always firmly believed that we are establishing the heart for Heaven and Earth! Establishing the destiny for the living! Continuing the lost teachings for the ancient sages! Opening peace for all generations!"

Yi Xiao was once again greatly shaken!

He couldn't help but murmuring......

"Establishing the heart for Heaven and Earth......"

"Establishing the destiny for the living......"

"Continuing the lost teachings for the ancient sages......"

"Opening peace for all generations......"

"Opening peace for all generations!!!"

"Good! Excellent!"

Two streams of clear tears flowed from Yi Xiao's pale eyes, and he sincerely bowed to Sima Di: "If that day truly comes... please heal these ruined eyes of mine, so I can see that peaceful prosperous age with my own eyes!!"

Sima Di smiled,

He stopped pretending, and extended his hand to Yi Xiao.

"Fighting side by side for all the beauty in this world."

Yi Xiao's body trembled!

His right hand, which had been gripping the cane-sword, released it and clasped with Sima Di's.

"Fighting side by side for all the beauty in this world!"

The interaction over here was so undisguised that it was immediately detected by some of the stronger fighters!

Big Mom, even more furious, parried Sakazuki's attack, flew to one side, and glared at Sima Di like a tiger watching its prey, her mouth opening and closing nonstop, looking extremely enraged.

However......

Sima Di, who had the Silent Field activated, indicated that he couldn't hear what she was barking about at all.

Moreover......

【String-String Fruit!】

【Fruit Awakening!】

【Super...】

Earlier in the battle, Sima Di had deliberately shifted his position.

Now he happened to be directly above Wanokuni.

With one move, Sima Di sent countless razor-sharp lines plunging straight into the ocean, firmly pinning them into the seabed.

The entire Wanokuni was enveloped...

And on top of that......

Sima Di had no intention of letting things end so simply!

【Vibranium Substitution!】

The lines composing the super...

It was exactly vibranium material!

Flying, which belongs to vibranium, or metals of the same grade — metals so strong they cannot be destroyed — merely condensing them into blades or swords already reaches the grade of a Great Grade Blade; to break through them, one would need at least a Supreme Great Grade Blade.

And that's not all!

What Sima Di intended to do today was......

Exterminate! To the last! One and all!

【《Using the Dark-Dark Fruit will multiply the pain tenfold! 》】

【《Using the Soul-Soul Fruit will cause your soul to be refined by Soul Fire! 》】

【《Using the Door-Door Fruit will automatically teleport you to my side! 》】

To avoid the effects failing due to excessive distance, Sima Di delivered this triple combo in Dragon Script!

Now, unless Sima Di was taken down,

Otherwise, within this super...

The next moment,

Big Mom's body surface directly ignited with Brook's green Soul Fire, but Big Mom did not howl like an ordinary person would; after trying and failing to extinguish the Soul Fire, she simply let it burn...
