Chapter 389

"Pfft!"

Jack spat out a mouthful of fresh blood directly, then crashed heavily onto the ground.

At this moment, Sima Di had already arrived before Jack, a cold sneer on his face.

Chapter: Even if the Three Calamities are powerful, aren't you still a defeated subordinate?

"You are my defeated subordinate; how dare you fight me? How ignorant!"

After speaking, Sima Di raised his right foot and stepped heavily onto Jack's chest, smiling with mockery.

Seeing this scene, infinite resentment flashed within Jack's eyes.

"I will kill you!" Jack shouted angrily.

"Hmph!" Sima Di sneered, then directly drew out a bolt of lightning and struck down at Jack.

Seeing the lightning rushing toward him, Jack's expression changed, and he quickly dodged aside.

"Boom!"

The lightning crashed onto the ground, instantly causing a roar; dust flew, smoke swirled, a deep pit appeared on the ground, and several deep cracks formed on the surface.

Seeing this scene, Sima Di narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This fellow actually managed to dodge! It seems I underestimated you!" Sima Di said coldly with a sneer.

"Haha!" Jack looked at Sima Di with a face full of mockery, then said, "Such petty tricks mean nothing to me!"

Sima Di's expression darkened; it seemed that over these years, he had truly underestimated Jack's strength.

Thinking this, Sima Di's body vanished directly.

Seeing Sima Di disappear, Jack's expression changed. He had not expected Sima Di's speed to be so fast.

"Boom!"

Sima Di's figure suddenly appeared behind Jack, then raised his fist and smashed it heavily down at Jack's head.

Sensing the dangerous aura coming from behind, a trace of panic flashed in Jack's eyes.

Then he turned sharply and slapped his palm toward Sima Di's fist.

"Smack!"

Fist met palm.

Both bodies retreated backward simultaneously; a trace of crimson blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Jack's pupils suddenly contracted, and a shock flashed in his eyes.

He had just used sixty percent of his strength, yet he was still no match for Sima Di.

No wonder this fellow is so arrogant! No wonder this fellow could kill Jason! It turns out his strength has reached such a terrifying realm.

Sima Di sneered, and his gaze toward Jack became even more contemptuous. "Is that all the strength you have?"

Jack felt deeply aggrieved in his heart, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sima Di, I will kill you!"

Jack's expression turned completely dark. He had not expected that over these years, his progress had been surpassed by someone; for him, this was simply an insult.

"Hehe!"

Hearing Jack's words, Sima Di laughed with disdain.

"Relying on you to kill me? You are still far from it!"

As Sima Di spoke, he charged forward once more.

Watching Sima Di attack him, a trace of coldness flashed in Jack's eyes. "Since you seek death, I will grant your wish!"

Speaking thus, he once again activated his own power.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

A series of dull thuds rang out; two figures clashed fiercely on the ground.

For a moment, the wind of their fists whistled, and dust flew.

After one move, Sima Di's fist struck Jack's chest directly, instantly sending Jack flying.

"Crash!"

Jack crashed heavily onto the ground, then spat out a mouthful of blood directly.

"How could this be?"

Jack's face turned pale; he had not expected that he couldn't even touch Sima Di's clothes, let alone harm the other.

Moreover, judging by Sima Di's appearance just now, he seemed completely unharmed.

Seeing Sima Di's appearance, Jack felt even more depressed in his heart.

This fellow's strength is actually so strong; no wonder he could kill Jason. I am probably not his match at all!

"What? Still not convinced?" Looking at the depressed Jack, Sima Di asked with a cold sneer.

75 Embarking on a New Journey

Having resolved the issue with Jack, they embarked on a new journey once again.

When the train whistled and set sail, Luffy and the others leaned against the windows, watching the scenery rushing by outside with delight.

This speed was more than five times that of the Merry.

About an hour later, everyone's novelty wore off, and they each went about their own business.

Some slept, some read, some stared blankly, and others chatted.

"Sima Di! Judging by your appearance, this doesn't seem like your first time on a train!" Usopp asked. He recalled Sima Di's fluent exchange with the ticket inspector and how he found his seat by number almost instantly.

"Of course it is not my first time. However... this steam-retro style train is a first for me," Sima Di said.

"Does Jin Long Country have many trains like this?" Usopp asked.

"Golden Dragon Kingdom?" Sima Di paused, "Ah, is that the one Kuzan mentioned?"

"Yes, isn't Sima Di a person from the Golden Dragon Kingdom?"

"Not at all. I don't even know what kind of place the Golden Dragon Kingdom is... By the way, do you know?"

Usopp shook his head. Chopper thought for a moment, then shook his head too.

"The Golden Dragon Kingdom... seems to be a country that closed its borders a hundred years ago, allowing no entry and no exit. But I heard its territory is vast enough to be called a continent, not an island." Robin closed the book she was reading.

"And then?"

"They all have black hair and black eyes, and their facial features resemble yours, and Zoro's too. Also... it is said that the Empress among the Seven Warlords is also from the Golden Dragon Kingdom, though there is no concrete evidence. In any case... due to a hundred years of closed borders, they have become a very mysterious nation."

This description reminded Sima Di of those Western TV series or movies; whenever they mentioned the East, it was always the mysterious great Eastern nation. Even one of the Ten Commandments of Detective Fiction stated, "No Chinese people allowed in the story"... Of course, this was not discrimination, but in their eyes, Easterners all knew Wu Gong, knew immortality arts and the like.

Sima Di continued to question Robin, but could extract no more useful information from her, not even the specific location.

"The Golden Dragon Kingdom..." Sima Di murmured, looking at the dimming sky outside the window.

If there is an opportunity, I must go see it.

Perhaps the Log Pose of Lawful Roland recorded in the logbook is the Golden Dragon Kingdom, not the world she is in. If that is the case, that would be wonderful. If not...

Sima Di Unable could not imagine the consequences.

By the way! Speaking of which, what about the legendary "Void Century"?

What happened during this hundred years...

Also, the Wano Country two years later, that nation that holds the power to write the "Poneglyphs". How similar the situation of Wano Country is to that of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, both closed off for a hundred years.

What role does Wano Country play here?

The story Sima Di knows only ends at the Zou arc (where the Straw Hat crew splits into several groups, and Luffy is going to Big Mom's tea party to rescue Sanji); he knows nothing about what happens afterwards.

The more he thought about the mysteries, the more they multiplied, literally giving himself a headache.

Sima Di rubbed his temples.

Forget it, forget it. Those things are not something one person alone can change.

As the saying goes, when the cart reaches the mountain there will be a path, when the boat reaches the bridge it will straighten out, when one sees an injustice someone will help, and when the willow darkens a new village appears.

No more thinking, no more thinking.

Upon arriving here, it was already evening.

Sima Di looked at this brightly lit street with considerable emotion.

When they came more than ten years ago, this street was still very narrow, a single path leading straight into darkness. Who would have thought it has now expanded to such an extent, lined with four rows of small shops; looking up, one cannot see the end, only a surging crowd fills the view.

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper had long since rushed into the food street to raid it, Nami followed behind them with a headache, paying the bills. Sanji was chatting very well with a takoyaki shop owner, while Zoro had rushed into a izakaya.

"Truly a headache, in the blink of an eye not one is left," Sima Di complained.
