Chapter 5

Suddenly!

Rapid footsteps came, and Lord Lord Sima Di thought they were calling him to "eat," so he silently chose to pretend to be asleep.

"Not good!" Usopp said urgently: "A large group of Marines is surrounding us! Come quickly!"

Hmm?

Lord Lord Sima Di immediately got up and left the cabin, and sure enough, he saw a large number of Marine warships surrounding them.

"Haha—they must be here to catch me!" Luffy said confidently.

He was a pirate with a bounty of 30 million berries, the highest in the East Blue!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Marine warships fired their cannons in unison, and cannonballs bombarded the Going Merry densely.

Everyone hadn't reacted, only Lord Lord Sima Di used telekinesis...

Pulling Luffy into a large net, catching all the cannonballs and firing them all back!

It was an immediate scene of ships capsizing and people falling.

At the same time,

Apis also suddenly said: "It says the wind is about to pick up!"

Facing Facing Nami synchronized: "The wind is about to pick up... huh?"

Facing Facing Nami looked at Apis in surprise, but the situation didn't allow for hesitation, so she immediately directed everyone to hoist the sails and head south. Before the Marine warships could adjust, a violent strong wind carried the Going Merry away at full speed, leaving the clumsy Marine warships to sigh in frustration.

But the Marine warships didn't intend to pursue either.

Luffy and the others were still cheering for their escape.

"Well done!"

"Lord Lord Sima using Luffy as a net is really smart!"

"Facing Facing Nami-san's navigational talent is really powerful! She could actually predict that wind!"

"It's nothing, just intuition."

Please comment! It concerns the life and death of this book!

6. Entered the lair of Sea Kings, flying directly over the Calm Belt?

While everyone was discussing,

Only Zoro and Lord Lord Sima Di were looking around, the difference being that Zoro's expression was solemn, while Lord Lord Sima Di was interested.

"I say, you guys." Lord Lord Sima Di finally spoke: "The ship hasn't moved for a long time, we've entered the Calm Belt."

The others didn't know why, only Facing Facing Nami looked terrified!

"We're done for!"

Facing Facing Nami nervously explained the horror of the Calm Belt to everyone who didn't know the seriousness of the situation.

"...Besides what I said, the Calm Belt is also the lair of Sea Kings, and... they are super-giant ones!"

As the words fell,

The Going Merry suddenly rose, and one after another, Sea Kings over hundreds of meters in size broke through the water, appearing in groups and shocking everyone!

Even Lord Lord Sima Di was amazed; it was his first time seeing such giant creatures!

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Super-giant Sea Kings!", and obtaining the sign-in reward "Akamichi Choji's Multi-Size Technique"!]

——————————

"Akamichi Choji's Multi-Size Technique": A secret technique passed down by the Akamichi clan, capable of making part or all of the body expand temporarily, but it consumes a large amount of chakra when used!

——————————

The next instant,

Information about how to use the Multi-Size Technique and some tips flooded into his mind.

But Lord Lord Sima Di had no time to digest these, instead looking at the super-giant Sea Kings in amazement.

However, immediately after,

A young Sea King resembling a golden toad set its sights on them, or rather the Going Merry, leaping from the sea and opening its bloody mouth!

Although it was treated as an attack by the Sea King carrying the Going Merry and was swallowed in one gulp.

It still showed their danger!

Lord Lord Sima Di knew the principle of "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall," and immediately spoke—

[Float!]

This time it wasn't for himself, but to make the Going Merry float into the sky, using telekinesis to push the Going Merry to move and head out of the Calm Belt from high altitude.

"Wow! So amaz—"

Luffy's exclamation had just started when his mouth was tightly covered by Zoro and Sanji.

But it still attracted the attention of the Sea Kings, and pairs of eyeballs several times larger than the Going Merry made Lord Lord Sima Di's heart skip a beat!

The next moment,

All the Sea Kings leaped out of the sea with a tacit understanding, determined to tear the Going Merry apart and eat it!

Everyone was terrified!

"Bastard! Who told you to shout so loudly!"

"Are you an idiot?"

"Damn it! If we die this time, I won't let you go even as a ghost!"

Everyone pulled Luffy viciously, but there was nothing they could do.

Even Lord Lord Sima Di was focused; with such a number of super-giant Sea Kings, he only had the strength to protect himself, at most take others with him, but the best result would only be to abandon the ship and flee.

Just as he was about to act,

He suddenly discovered something and didn't make any other moves, instead accelerating the Going Merry's ascent.

Subsequently,

He saw a Sea King sneeze abruptly, knocking the Sea Kings on both sides away, the original formation fell into chaos, and all the Sea Kings changed direction and brushed past the Going Merry.

It was Lord Lord Sima Di's Luck Halo taking effect!

"Boom, boom, boom—"

All the Sea Kings crashed heavily onto the sea, splashing waves thousands of meters high, almost capsizing the Going Merry.

But that was as far as it went.

Even for super-giant Sea Kings, high altitude remained a forbidden zone for them.

"Phew—"

"We survived!"

"Lord Lord Sima is mighty! Too amazing!"

An excited Facing Facing Nami hugged Lord Lord Sima Di directly, giving him a rewarding "face wash"!

Good guy!

Is she this enthusiastic?

Zoro and Usopp looked on with some envy, while Sanji was heartbroken.

My Facing Facing Nami-san!

Then the three of them cast their eyes on Luffy, who was laughing loudly; so it was you kid who gave Lord Lord Sima Di the chance to show off, right?

"Crackle—"

When everyone had vented enough,

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at the sea area not far away and said: "That's the first half of the Grand Line, I should be able to fly the Going Merry over directly, do you want to try?"

But...

"No!"

"Impossible!"

"I don't agree!"

Everyone refused in unison, and after looking at each other, they stated their reasons.

Luffy said stubbornly: "Taking a shortcut to become the Pirate King is no fun at all, I want to conquer the Grand Line with my own strength!"

Sanji nodded: "What if my All Blue is at Reverse Mountain?"
