Chapter 61

"Whoosh—"

Stepping out from the teleportation pillar of light,

Sima Di saw at a glance that the sky was a dreamy seven-colored hue, the ship was filled with many unfamiliar people, and the surroundings were full of broken ships and wreckage.

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "The Ship Graveyard of No Return, Epsconde!" — Sign-in reward obtained: Time and Spirit House Teleportation Stone!】

——————————

Time and Spirit House Teleportation Stone: This is a special space where the time inside differs from the outside world; one year inside equals only one day outside. A single stone can allow at most two people to enter at the same time, and they may stay for no more than two days, or the Fouzejiu Society will be lost within it forever! It can be used once every 30 days.;

——————————

【Reward has been stored in the System Space!】

Hmm?

Coming back and getting a reward right away — that's pretty nice!

"Lord Sima! You're back!"

"That's great!"

"We're saved!"

"Robin-chan~ and Vivi Princess~"

A group of members crowded around and briefly explained what had happened during this period.

Sima Di also learned,

that the Straw Hat Pirates had now arrived at Luluka Island and entered the Seven-Colored Mist — a time domain reputed to keep anyone within it forever young.

Originally, Nami had cleverly tied a rope, but it was snatched away by a pirate through trickery.

They had already been lost in the Seven-Colored Mist for two or three days.

Along with them,

were Dr. Henzo, Philips — the son of Luluka Island's mayor — and others.

But Sima Di knew,

that Luluka Island's mayor "Weldon" was the former captain of the "Weldon Pirates." He coveted the treasures of the sunken ships in this time domain, and soon he would drop the Rainbow Island he had built as a bridge to come here and plunder the treasures.

"Don't worry, getting out is simple," Sima Di said. "But since we're here, everyone might as well search the nearby shipwrecks for treasure."

Hearing Sima Di's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of Lord Sima!"

"Treasure? We were so busy looking for food earlier, we completely forgot!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Hurry it up!"

The Straw Hat Pirates immediately sprang into action, bustling about as they darted through this "Ship Graveyard," searching for lost treasure.

In no time, they had piled a small mountain on the deck.

Robin briefly examined a few pieces.

"This is the crown of the Jellier royal family of the North Sea from 620 years ago, seized by pirates."

"Oh? A token of the Kuku tribe of the West Sea from 214 years ago — they offered that returning this item would earn you one unconditional request, or 2 billion Berries."

As expected of the erudite Robin, she could rattle off the "family background" of any treasure at the drop of a hat.

"Lord Sima-chan, is there really a way out?" Robin suddenly asked. "I'm not doubting you, but the Ship Graveyard of No Return, Epsconde, is said to have never let a ship leave..."

Sima Di said confidently, "There will be a passage..."

"Boom!"

A violent roar drew everyone's attention; looking toward the sound, they saw a tall tower crashing down onto the sea surface, with a large number of people pouring out from within the tower.

It was Mayor Weldon dropping the Rainbow Tower, coming to plunder the treasure!

"See? Isn't it here now?" Sima Di said, spreading his hands.

Robin gave a thumbs-up — as expected of the Word-Spirit Fruit, that mouth was practically blessed!

Luffy's reaction was also quick.

Ignoring the wishes of the treasure-hunting members, he "forcibly" brought them all back to the ship, then stood atop the sheep-head figurehead and directed the scene.

"Yoishi! Now's our chance — break out of the Seven-Colored Mist!"

Everyone was about to row the oars, but Sima Di called them to a stop.

"There are shipwrecks everywhere here; the oars are very likely to get jammed."

— If I remember correctly, isn't this where the Going Merry's oars and main mast broke?

Can't let you all run wild again!

【Float!】

The Going Merry lifted off the sea surface, then Sima Di used telekinesis to push it forward, skimming past the Rainbow Tower, and soon passed through a layer of seven-colored gate into reality.

But then...

Sima Di noticed something was off!

The members of the Pumpkin Pirates, who should have been sent back to the past along with the disappearance of the Seven-Colored Mist, had actually followed along too?

Then who will join the Marines of the past to arrest the current Luluka Island mayor "Weldon"?

While pondering,

he saw Weldon leading a group of people charging over aggressively, eyes gleaming as they stared at the piles of treasure on the deck.

"This... this is the treasure of Epsconde, isn't it? Then it belongs to Luluka Island! Hand it all over!" Weldon said greedily.

And Philips, who had just been rescued, also unhesitatingly jumped ship with his men and swam toward his father's side.

Without Sima Di needing to say more,

Nami snapped, "What? This is what we risked our lives to bring back! You want to steal it?"

"Sanji, I'll buy you a locked refrigerator!"

"Zoro, unlimited fine wine!"

"Luffy, meat until you're stuffed!"

"Attack! Smash this fire-robbing bastard into the sky!"

Sanji: "Heh~"

Zoro: "Hey!"

Luffy: "Meat!!!"

The three fighters, struck right at their weak points by Nami, unleashed their full power and charged at Winton and the others.

"Rubber……Rokushiki……"

"One Sword Style……Kenzan……"

"Prime cut! Shoulder meat! Thigh meat!"

A mob of riffraff was cut down like vegetables.

But Nami still felt intense danger!

After docking to drop off Dr. Henzō and the others, she hurriedly set sail again.

"Hurry up!"

"It won't be good if we're being watched!"

Nami's urgency annoyed Luffy and Zoro.

"Hey Nami, you promised unlimited meat!"

"And my wine!"

"Nami-san~ the locked refrigerator……"

"Are you all idiots?!" Nami groaned in exasperation. "With this treasure, won't we feast like kings on the next island? Then you can eat as much as you want!"

Watching the greedy Nami, Ma Di smiled.

"It's quite a nice atmosphere," Robin remarked.

She, who had always traveled alone, was very satisfied with this team's atmosphere.

Especially……
