Chapter 56

"Lord Sima, your Devil Fruit ability is too convenient!"

Everyone spoke with one voice to express One's Own Thoughts, then gradually fell silent.

"Lord Sima, thank you for your gift!" Vivi smiled sweetly: "This is the best gift for Alabasta, simply a miracle!"

Her gaze at Sima Di was bright, as if looking at her own Prince Charming.

Sima Di's contribution in this rescue operation for Alabasta was obvious to all!

He directed the entire plan and was everyone's most reliable confidence; even if the plan failed in the end, he would still make up for it.

To call him Vivi's savior would not be an overstatement!

Such a favor...

It seemed that besides giving herself to him, Vivi had no other way to repay him.

But...

Sima Di was very tired now and did not notice these details.

"If there is anything, let's talk after I wake up."

He yawned and fell asleep immediately.

I was still too overconfident!

Artificial rain over the entire country of Alabasta; that consumption is truly beyond human capability!

It was only with the assistance of Great Red Lotus Ice Wheel,

otherwise, relying solely on the Power of Words ability to achieve it, I fear it would truly drain him dry!

Before falling asleep,

Sima Di vaguely thought...

Did I forget something?

Forget it!

Too sleepy, no thinking, sleep.

*Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock*

Requesting monthly tickets! One extra chapter for every 10!

57. I am not a nanny! I just had too much fun!

"Damn you all!"

"You actually forgot me in the square?"

"If someone hadn't brought me back, I might have drowned in that rainstorm!"

"Do you even consider me your companion?"

Facing the furious Sanji,

the Straw Hat Pirates looked at their noses and their hearts, with no one daring to contradict him.

After all, he was right...

Sima Di was also laughing bitterly.

I said I felt like I forgot something before sleep; turns out I forgot Sanji!

But...

"I admit I was negligent, but you saw my state at the time..." Sima Di gazed at the Straw Hat Pirates: "So, why did you forget Sanji?"

I was truly drained dry!

What about you?

"Ah, the rainstorm you created, Sima, was too shocking; I forgot about Sanji..." Usopp said while rubbing his nose.

"Yes, artificial rain over the entire country is too powerful!" Nami praised.

"Sama-chan always does things people don't expect," Robin agreed.

"Uh-huh-huh!" Laboon nodded wildly.

Sima Di and Sanji exchanged a glance, and he shrugged helplessly.

This really isn't my fault; look, they all just lay flat.

"You shouldn't have arranged everything so perfectly!" Sanji gritted his teeth: "This time Usopp and the others didn't get much training; you must arrange more battles for them in the future! Don't always carry all the heavy burdens yourself."

Although Sima Di played a major role this time, he also took too much care of certain people.

Like Usopp, like Laboon.

They were clearly good combat power, yet they played no role from start to finish.

This tired Sima Di out and also prevented them from improving.

"I realized this problem long ago," Sima Di nodded: "It's just that this time it concerned Vivi's country, so I couldn't attend to them then... There will be plenty of opportunities later."

He never intended to be anyone's nanny; he just had too much fun with this layout, so he didn't go manage them.

After all, this was a country-level layout!

As for later...

There are plenty of enemies; Sima Di has no interest in those petty skirmishes, so let them go train.

"What!" Usopp said displeased: "I am a sniper, not a warrior; of course I can't charge forward like you all."

"Usopp, are you sure you want to keep hiding like this?" Sima Di asked, raising an eyebrow: "Everyone is progressing; Sanji also overcame difficulties and defeated Mr. 2 alone; Nami is a navigator, so combat power is secondary... What about you? If you, as a sniper, don't keep up with our steps to get stronger, you will be left behind!"

Birds of a feather flock together; people are divided by groups.

If Usopp's mindset does not change, he might be eliminated from the Straw Hat Pirates.

Usopp fell silent upon hearing this.

Sima Di did not force Usopp; he believed Usopp would figure it out.

"Let's go, wake up Luffy and Zoro, it's time to discuss how to break out."

58. Sima Di Wants to Get Off the Ship! The Reason Is Actually...

Wake them up?

It's only been a day. Given the injuries Luffy and the others suffered, they won't recover in less than a week...

Wait!

Everyone thought of a certain possibility—Sima Di's poisonous healing!

Although they themselves resist the poisonous healing, however...

If they get to watch someone else get healed, then they'd be more than happy to!

They swarmed over to the room where Luffy and the other were recuperating, and just happened to see Sima Di with a holy light column in each hand, raining down continuously onto Luffy and Zoro.

Luffy: "Ah—"

Zoro: "Mmph—"

Before long,

the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, but because it was too "pleasurably agonizing," their bodies went limp, temporarily losing the ability to move.

Yet moans and groans kept spilling from their mouths.

Luffy was fine, he didn't really mind.

But Zoro...

Facing everyone's barely-restrained expressions, even the torture of being sliced to death would be nothing compared to this!

The moment he regained mobility,

Zoro grabbed the Sea Prism Stone Tang Dao, his gaze fierce as he stared at Sima Di.

"One Sword Style?????????

He opened with the ultimate move he'd only just comprehended!

One could see just how thick Zoro's killing intent was at this moment.

Unfortunately...

Sima Di is now also a swordsman. Although the passive of Hundred-Percent Empty-Handed Catch Bai Ren prevents him from drawing his blade normally, seeing through Zoro's attack is easy.

"Clang—"
