Chapter 374

"Oh~~! Usopp, Chopper! Look over there!"

Luffy also spotted the situation, exaggeratedly opened his mouth wide, and shouted.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of Luffy's gaze.

They saw that the seawater where the Merry had been anchored was dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye!

That's right! It was dissipating!

The seawater had turned into twinkling lights and was completely erased from this world!

Moreover, the speed and range were constantly expanding!

As time passed, a huge pit appeared in the very center of the ocean!

The surrounding seawater, unaffected, could not approach!

Boom~~~!

A huge sound came; even though they were several thousand meters apart, the Merry was affected and shook violently.

"Th-th-this... this couldn't be the commotion you just made, Di!?"

At this moment, Nami swallowed hard, looking at Sima Di in shock.

? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu?

49. Alliance of the Three Emperors

After Nami said this, everyone's gaze converged on him, waiting for his answer.

Only Zoro continued to stare unblinkingly at the disintegrating ocean, with a glint of light emerging in his eyes.

He felt as if he was about to grasp something.

Some realization was quietly climbing into his mind.

Just a little bit more, the last bit; cross it, and he could catch it!

"Zoro, now, do you understand?"

Sima Di asked again.

Zoro nodded as if he understood and then shook his head.

"I seem to have a clue, grasped a general idea, but I still need time to verify it."

Saying this,

Zoro turned and walked toward the training room—he must work even harder!

"I need some time to think; do not disturb me."

Watching Zoro's departing figure, Sima Di nodded in satisfaction and smiled:

"When he comes out again, just watch; his strength will have made a new leap."

"Really? Di, what is the name of that move you just used? It looked so amazing!"

Luffy felt quite proud to have such a partner.

He would not feel the slightest discomfort because a partner's strength threatened him.

He would only feel happy that a partner possessed such strength.

This is also why so many people easily follow him.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, just tell us the name of that magnificent move you just used~"

Hancock, with stars in her eyes, pulled Sima Di's arm and coquettishly said.

She was proud; this was her man.

Only someone like Sima Di was qualified to be her man!

Robin and Bai Xing exchanged a glance, both seeing the bitter smile in the other's eyes.

Still not thick-skinned enough.

Cannot compare with Hancock.

But they were also proud in their hearts.

"This move has no name; it was just a casual swing; do not pay too much attention."

Sima Di smiled indifferently.

He was not showing off; this was indeed just a basic attack.

It just happened to include some rules.

Nearby,

Sanji, somewhat envious, stepped forward and said to Sima Di: "I say, Vice-Captain, we are all partners; you cannot favor some over others. If there is a chance, spar with me too."

"I would like to as well!" Jinbe also stepped forward.

Sima Di smiled: "Rest assured, everyone will have a chance. One by one; before we reach Wano Country, you can all come find me."

Once we reach Wano Country, it will be another fierce battle.

Because of him, a person who originally should not have appeared, Sima Di did not know whether this trip to Wano Country...

... would encounter unexpected changes.

"Titch! Come see me immediately!"

The first thing Kaido did after returning to Onigashima was to summon Blackbeard to discuss dealing with the Straw Hat Pirates together.

"As expected of Lord Kaido; you really found BIG MOM."

As soon as Blackbeard entered, he saw the unconscious BIG MOM nearby and immediately exclaimed with joy.

Although BIG MOM was sometimes mentally unclear and attacked friend and foe alike...

... she was, after all, an Emperor, and her strength was undeniable.

When needed, throw her onto the battlefield, force our side to retreat, and she can still cause considerable destruction.

"Where is Jin? I asked him to investigate the Straw Hat Pirates' whereabouts. Do we have news yet?"

? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu? Zhuzhu?

51. Arrival in Wano Country! Drake!

"Lord Kaido, allow me to interject. What Big Mom said is absolutely not a single bit false. You also know I was originally on Bai Huzi's ship."

At this moment, Hu Zi suddenly said, "I can state with certainty that this fellow, Sima Di, is absolutely more terrifying than Bai Huzi during his Peak Period."

"Each of his strange and peculiar abilities is shocking to the world."

Kaido fell silent. If what the two said was true, then he must re-plan his battle strategy.

"Lingling, are you sure all your subordinates were wiped out? There are still a few days left. Why not try to gather them again? If Katakurisu and those few kids are still alive, our side's win rate could be even higher."

They have all been killed by Sima Di! Big Mom answered through gritted teeth. These days, she lived in self-blame every day. "I'm sorry. I failed to protect them. They are all dead. Even Katakurisu died at the hands of that bastard, Sima Di."

"Hmm, it is good that you survived. This time, we will help you take revenge." Kaido comforted her.

But...

"No need to say any more." Kaido cut her off, then said, "The current situation is extremely dire for us. If we continue to wait, I fear we will be completely annihilated."

"What should we do? Are we to retreat?" Big Mom asked, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Retreat? Of course not. The only thing we can do now is gather all our combat power and fight the Straw Hat Pirates to the death. If we retreat now, I fear we are finished for life!" Kaido stated decisively.

"Good, you are very right!" Big Mom nodded in agreement. "In that case, let us start making preparations!"

"Then, Hu Zi, do you remember your promise!" Kaido issued an order. "When the time comes, please ensure I see your figure at the very forefront."

"Rest assured!" Hu Zi replied.

As a hero of ambition, Hu Zi naturally could not serve as Kaido's hired muscle for free.

He knew well that with his own strength, he was utterly unable to capture Sima Di.

His purpose in approaching Kaido was merely to hope to borrow Kaido's power.

He had never truly thought that relying solely on Kaido and his subordinates could pose a fatal threat to the current Straw Hat Pirates.

He merely wanted to stir up the situation.

So he could take advantage of the chaos to slack off.

A few days later, the Going Merry, carrying the Straw Hat Pirates, passed through an underwater whirlpool and finally arrived within the borders of Wano Country.
