Chapter 82

"Then what about you, Lord Lord Sima?" Vivi asked.

"Robin and I are excluded," Lord Lord Sima Di shook his head.

He didn't need to say much.

Robin had survived being hunted since she was a child; if she were pure, she would have been captured long ago.

"Then Crocus?"

"I don't need this Super God Water; at this age, what potential could I have left?"

"Hmm... also true."

Crocus excluded.

"Laboon definitely can!"

"Must be!"

The reason is the same as Chopper's.

"Zoro?"

"Hmm..."

"Should... be okay?"

"Besides swordsmanship, he isn't even interested in women."

"And he's a road-idiot, bonus points."

Zoro never expected that one day, being a road-idiot would be a bonus point.

"Cricket..."

"I'll pass," Cricket had self-awareness.

"Then that leaves Karoo, what do you think?"

Karoo tilted its head in confusion.

Although it was smart, it hadn't reached the point of understanding the meaning of "pure."

So everyone looked at Vivi.

"The Super God Water brought back this time is only enough for two people!" Vivi shook the glass bottle: "So Karoo will be later; who should we give it to now?"

Two spots?

Then who to give them to?

The few who were just pointed out as qualified were no longer silent and spoke up one after another.

Chopper: "I don't need it for now; my physique isn't strong enough yet, give it to someone else."

Zoro: "Swordsmanship can only be practiced one step at a time, give it to someone else."

Laboon: "I just used the medicine, let's prioritize adaptation for the short term."

Luffy: "Give it to them! I should be awakening Haki soon anyway!"

The four spoke in unison to decline, then looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Lord Lord Sima Di and the others also laughed.

He believed that the four, unlike Usopp, were not declining because of fear, but because they wanted to give this opportunity to their partners first.

"Alright, stop pushing it back and forth; didn't you say that Kami would provide more Super God Water?" Lord Lord Sima Di said: "Super God Water is for digging out potential, but iron must be hard itself; if the foundation is too poor, it's no different from pulling up seedlings to help them grow. According to the current situation, let Zoro and Luffy use it first."

Laboon had already awakened Armament Haki and had consumed three team resources in a row, so he could wait.

As for Chopper...

he was simply not strong enough yet, his foundation was too thin.

Everyone agreed with Lord Lord Sima Di's distribution method, only Luffy and Zoro were somewhat displeased.

"I'm about to awaken Haki myself, no need to waste it," Luffy said.

"Swordsmanship must be pure! Shortcuts glug glug—"

But Lord Lord Sima Di couldn't watch anymore; he took advantage of their lack of preparation to snatch the Super God Water and poured half a bottle into Zoro.

Once he drank the Super God Water,

Zoro clutched his throat and fell onto the deck; although he looked quite painful, his momentum was rising wildly.

"Looks very painful, do you want me to help you?" Light emerged from Lord Lord Sima Di's hand.

Zoro: "!!!"

He, who had been in extreme pain, suddenly turned into a poker face; although his shoulders were still twitching uncontrollably, he looked much more normal.

This made Lord Lord Sima Di nod involuntarily.

"Still able to control himself, it seems the problem isn't big."

The light in his hand dissipated.

Everyone: _●)_●)

Are you a devil!!

Not in a hurry to let Luffy drink the other half of the Super God Water, everyone just surrounded Zoro and waited.

This wait lasted for most of the day.

Until the sun set,

and dinner was ready, Zoro finally ended his painful journey.

The first thing he did when he stood up was to draw Wado Ichimonji and slash at Lord Lord Sima Di.

"Bastard! I told you even if I die, don't heal me, hey!!!"

"Clang—"

Lord Lord Sima Di caught Zoro's slash with one hand, then raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Basic Armament Haki; it seems the Super God Water really worked."

"Hmph!"

Zoro, having tested the power, withdrew his sword and stared blankly at his palm.

"Is this Armament Haki? It's truly magical; now, even without the steel-cutting secret technique, I can cut through steel!"

"Congratulations, Zoro."

"Haha! Zoro is stronger, so I'm safer."

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at Luffy and raised the remaining half bottle of Super God Water.

"Do it yourself, or should I help you?"

Facing Lord Lord Sima Di's tough attitude, what could Luffy do?

"Can we wait until after dinner glug glug—"

What no one expected was!

Even though Luffy was trembling with pain, he still insisted on walking to the restaurant step by step, eating a big bone-in meat with every painful bite; his eating progress didn't falter in the slightest!

"Tsk! Is this the power of a foodie?" Lord Lord Sima Di clicked his tongue in wonder.

In the middle of the night,

the medicinal effect of the Super God Water was exhausted, and something even more unexpected happened!

"Hum hum hum—"

An invisible momentum erupted from Luffy's body, suppressing everyone with the force of Mount Tai!

Conqueror's Haki!

This was something even Lord Lord Sima Di hadn't expected; he thought he would at most get Armament Haki, but he actually awakened Conqueror's Haki?

He immediately reacted,

and released his own Conqueror's Haki, not to confront Luffy's, but to protect the weaker ones like Chopper and Karoo.

Although the others felt the pressure, their consciousness was very clear and they were unharmed.

It lasted for about a few seconds,

and the first unconscious release of Conqueror's Haki also drained Luffy, causing him to fall into a coma.

Lord Lord Sima Di withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and looked at Luffy with a smile.

He is worthy of being the protagonist; he gets more out of the same opportunity than others.

He glanced at Zoro, whose face was a bit dark, and comforted him: "Conqueror's Haki is the qualification of not submitting to others; generally, only captains can awaken it. None of the Marine Admirals have it."

Zoro looked at Lord Lord Sima Di silently; didn't you also awaken Conqueror's Haki?
