Chapter 53

Not to mention the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit,

Just the fact that he could scratch Shanks' eye meant his physical skills were not something Zoro could handle.

And...

If a conflict really broke out, Lord Lord Sima Di was confident he could defeat Blackbeard, but should he kill him?

If he killed him, wouldn't the "Summit War" be gone?

That was a gathering place for famous scenes!

"It was me, is there a problem?" Lord Lord Sima Di said calmly.

"Oh hahaha—as expected!" Blackbeard laughed, revealing his missing teeth: "Come be my partner! I will lead you to conquer this world!"

Lord Lord Sima Di's expression was strange!

It wasn't because Blackbeard invited him; it was natural for an ambitious person like him to recruit powerful helpers.

It was because...

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Blackbeard, whose Devil Fruit is as black as his teeth!", obtained sign-in reward "Tobirama Senju's Darkness Technique!"]

——————————

"Tobirama Senju's Darkness Technique": This is a genjutsu that causes visual hallucinations and strips the enemy of all light!

——————————

Lord Lord Sima Di never expected that Blackbeard's laugh would be a famous scene?

He is worthy of being the man who will replace Whitebeard and become one of the new Four Emperors!

Blackbeard is also an extreme gambler, betting all his ambition on a "Dark-Dark Fruit." If he couldn't get it, he would forever be a good boy in the Whitebeard Pirates.

He bet correctly, so he became an Emperor of the new era.

Unfortunately...

"I have no interest in conquering the world; I just want to experience interesting adventures." Lord Lord Sima Di refused.

But Blackbeard obviously wouldn't give up just like that.

"Isn't conquering the world interesting enough? As long as we become the new Emperors of the Sea, wouldn't we be able to gain more fun?" Blackbeard coaxed.

In short, drawing a big pie.

Lord Lord Sima Di was familiar with this!

"Is that so?" Lord Lord Sima Di lowered his head to think for a moment, then turned and said: "How about this, as long as you can pull off a major event that interests me, I will go join you. But before that, I am very interested in the Sky Island and need to go there first."

Isn't it just drawing a big pie?

Lord Lord Sima Di could do it too.

Blackbeard obviously didn't expect Lord Lord Sima Di to have such a request, and couldn't help but squint at Lord Lord Sima Di.

What gives you such courage?

Zoro and Facing Facing Nami were both secretly on guard, thinking Blackbeard would be furious and attack.

Unexpectedly...

"Then I'll have to see if you have the qualifications to make me do that!"

This was an invitation to battle.

Lord Lord Sima Di wasn't afraid; this fight couldn't be avoided.

And...

Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit doesn't have elementalization, but it can absorb damage with double the pain, so the experience of the "Pregnancy Gaze" would also be super doubled. That feeling must be very sour and refreshing, right?

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Facing Facing Nami and the others: "You guys go back to the ship first, I'll be back later."

Lord Lord Sima Di's strength was the strongest on the ship, besides the mysterious Crocus.

Therefore,

Zoro and the others knew that staying behind would only be a burden, so they said "be careful" and left directly.

But Luffy had no self-awareness.

"Let me do it! I'm a great pirate with a bounty of 100 million Berries!"

Zoro obviously wouldn't pay attention to him; you're still pregnant with a big belly, what are you fighting for?

Blackbeard was still quite good at treating "partners," so he didn't stop Zoro and the others from leaving—as for the great pirate with a 100 million bounty Luffy mentioned?

Heh!

A 100 million bounty is as common as hair on the Grand Line, and in the New World, it's just the bottom layer.

"Your partners have left, can we fight now?" Blackbeard grinned: "Don't let me down, otherwise... you'll die!"

"Swish—"

Blackbeard disappeared from where he was, and when he reappeared, he had already slammed a black fist at Lord Lord Sima Di.

Lord Lord Sima Di also condensed Armament Haki and punched back, without any other abilities—he also wanted to test his current level.

"Boom—"

The collision of black fists shattered the ground beneath them. After a brief stalemate, Lord Lord Sima Di was still pushed back half a step, while Blackbeard only swayed slightly.

He is, after all, someone whose physical skills could injure Shanks, and he is in his prime.

"Intermediate Armament Haki? And you've awakened Conqueror's Haki. At your age, you really are a genius!" Blackbeard said excitedly: "You are a swordsman, right? Let me see your sword!"

This suggestion made Lord Lord Sima Di's expression very colorful.

"Are you sure?"

"Oh hahaha—I've even fought Great Swordsmen, just feel free to draw your sword!" Blackbeard was full of confidence.

Then...

He knelt in front of Lord Lord Sima Di with a confused face, his hands clasped together, holding Lord Lord Sima Di's horizontally held blade.

100% Bare-Handed Blade Catch!

"Look, I told you to ask if you were sure." Lord Lord Sima Di said amusedly.

6. Room of Spirit and Time! Crocus's deal!

Finally realizing that Lord Lord Sima Di was tricky, Blackbeard stopped being careless.

"Black Hole!"

Darkness overflowed from Blackbeard's feet, then swallowed the surroundings, trying to drag Hyorinmaru and Lord Lord Sima Di into it, as if a giant mouth wanted to eat them.

Now Lord Lord Sima Di's disadvantage was reflected—whether it was the Word Spirit ability or releasing Hyorinmaru, he had to speak.

And while using the "Strongest Identification Technique,"

His mouth would uncontrollably chant the "spell," and now there was no time to interrupt and change his words.

So...

Lord Lord Sima Di decided to go all out and face Blackbeard head-on!

"Do you know~ the greatness of maternal love?"

"Strongest Identification Technique!!!"

Golden light shone,

Blackbeard's stomach swelled visibly to the naked eye, followed by a whole day of wailing!

"Pain pain pain—"

"Ahhhhh—"

"What kind of bizarre ability is this!"

At the same time,

Lord Lord Sima Di was also in the dark space, and his Observation Haki swept out, discovering numerous treasures and items.

It seems this is an independent space similar to "Kamui," used by Blackbeard as a storage space.

Then...

"Mangekyou..."

Although he couldn't see anything in the darkness, the bug-like feature of Amaterasu is that it burns everything!

Lord Lord Sima Di directly locked onto the "darkness" in front of him as the target for burning. Black flames spread in this dark space, and it looked like it was about to sweep through the entire dark space.

Lord Lord Sima Di took out the Hearthstone in a leisurely manner and rubbed it.

The radiance of the magic circle was covered by darkness, and he disappeared from here silently, appearing on the deck of the Going Merry.

The speed of the whole process was so fast,

That even Facing Facing Nami and the others hadn't returned to the Going Merry yet.
