Chapter 9

It was dislocated!

The wind blade he swung also missed its mark, shooting toward the ground and cutting a small trench.

This made Eric turn pale with shock!

"What? What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this?"

"I don't believe this can happen!"

Eric prepared to swing his right arm again, but another crisp "crack" sounded as it fell limply.

Dislocated again.

And Sima Di launched his signature move once more, the kind that kills the person and stabs the heart—

【Scythe Devil Fruit Ability!】

Sima Di swung his right hand,

and an identical translucent wind blade flew out, splitting Eric directly in half right before his eyes, which were filled with disbelief in life itself!

The goal is to be decisive in killing!

Sima Di hated dragging things out the most, especially battles that could fill several chapters.

"Ah!" Abys cried out in shock.

Nami hurriedly covered her eyes and gave Sima Di a reproachful look.

"There are children here; don't make it so bloody," Nami reminded.

As a woman who had spent years mixing with all sorts of people, Nami had seen plenty of bloody scenes and wouldn't be scared by this.

Only Usopp, the coward,

stared at Eric's dismembered body with a deathly pale face, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

No one else said anything either.

Eric was about to kill them anyway; being counter-killed now was only fitting.

Instead, Sima Di, the one who started it all, felt slightly nauseous...

After all, just yesterday he was a good youth of the Dragon Nation, not a free white man shooting people every day.

He had overestimated his own tolerance.

But...

【Mosaic!】

Manually applying a mosaic to the scene, Sima Di felt much better.

"Let's go."

Sima Di led the way past that pile of mosaics, using telekinesis to carry Long Ye down the mountain.

"Wow! Amazing!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise: "Sima, can your Devil Fruit ability also copy other people's Devil Fruit abilities? What about my Rubber Fruit?"

8. Testing Long Wei! Calamity Descends!

Rubber Fruit?

Sima Di twitched the corner of his mouth,

Only you, you fool, could turn the "Zoan-type 【garbled text】 Rubber Fruit" into this.

"Hmm, I can replicate other people's Devil Fruit abilities, but the consumption is much higher," Sima Di explained.

Since the Word Spirit ability is not the original ability, the price of forced replication is higher consumption; it drains the original owner's stamina more, and it also consumes one's own state to maintain the Word Spirit ability.

Generally,

unless it is to "kill the person and stab the heart" as just now, this is a fighting method that takes effort but yields no reward.

But Luffy, as if he had discovered a new continent, excitedly clung to Sima Di.

"Then try replicating my Rubber Fruit!"

"I still don't know what the touch of a rubber man feels like!"

"Let me touch it too!"

Sima Di: "..."

Do you hear yourself? Is that human speech?

Let you touch it?

I am male, and my preference is female!

【Shut up!】

Luffy's mouth immediately deformed into a zipper that was pulled shut, and the zipper was also stuck to his cheek.

The whole world became quiet.

Without Luffy's interference,

the team quickly descended the mountain and boarded the Going Merry to prepare for departure.

【Wooden Plank!】

A huge wooden plank materialized out of thin air; Long Ye was placed on it, and then the Going Merry dragged the plank along.

Just as they left the harbor,

countless Navy warships emerged from all directions, and their number was several times greater than yesterday!

And without a word of explanation, they opened fire immediately!

"The bodies don't matter; I only want the keel. Kill all these pirates for me!"

As the words fell,

A hundred cannons roared, firing a dense barrage of shells at the Going Merry; the moment they revealed themselves, they faced a desperate situation!

This time, Sanji and Zoro moved with great agility,

grabbing Luffy's limbs and stretching him out like a giant net. Following Sima Di's method, they caught the bulk of the shells, while the few that slipped through were tossed by Sima Di's telekinesis into Luffy's net.

All sent straight back along their original path!

Directly sinking nearly half of the Navy warships.

During the interval of reloading for the second barrage,

Nami commanded the crew to alter course. Only Sima Di climbed onto the sheep-headed figurehead, gazing sharply ahead. An aura that made men tremble with fear rose from him, imposing without anger!

Dragon's Might!

The Navy soldiers, enveloped by this Dragon's Might, immediately trembled in fear, their hands and feet shaking. They could not push the shells into the cannon mouths, and repeatedly looked toward Sima Di in panic.

Some with weaker minds lost their sanity entirely, jumping overboard to flee from Sima Di.

Though the effect was outstanding,

unfortunately, no one fainted from it. Compared to Conqueror's Haki, it was still far inferior.

It could only be used to intimidate people.

Seizing the opportunity, Nami led everyone out of the firing range of the cumbersome Navy warships, sailing full sail away from the Warship Island.

But Sima Di would not let the enemy off so easily!

"Nami, don't go too fast. Keep them hanging on," Sima Di said.

"Why?"

"I have no habit of taking a beating without fighting back!"

"How will you... Alright, I understand."

Nami reduced the ship's speed, giving the Navy warships hope of catching up, yet staying just outside their firing range.

Sima Di watched the cluster of Navy warships gathering as they pursued, waiting until they were far enough from Warship Island.

Then came...

【Meteor!】

Everyone on deck was stunned!

Could he really summon something like that?

They looked up at the sky, finding nothing there. While secretly relieved, they also felt a vague sense of disappointment.

They had thought...

"Look!"

"There's fire!"
