The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

“You little Emperor, you really are…” Crocus’s gaze was inscrutable.

This greatly displeased Emperor Sima.

"Just say what you have to say. Stop stammering. Do you think you're a girl?"

Weiwei suddenly hit Sima Di and said something!

However...

Apart from Weiwei, no one else present understood his veiled sarcasm.

—They're all bachelors!

"Young Emperor, do you know the true power of that God Slash?" Crocus recalled, "Roger used this move to kill the legendary pirate Rocks, along with Garp's Iron Fist and Sengoku's Buddha Shockwave. The aftershocks alone almost collapsed God Valley!"

So strong?

Sima Di looked at Crocus with a questioning expression.

Although that sword strike was quite powerful, it shouldn't have been strong enough to shatter an island, right?

"Don't look at me, it's Rayleigh's training that's not up to par, it's not that this move is weak," Crocus quickly said.

"Hey, what are you talking about!" Rayleigh said unhappily, "I wasn't at full strength just now, it was just a friendly spar."

Not even going all out?

The Straw Hat Pirates were almost numb from the shock.

Only Sima Di glanced sideways and said, "Not at full strength? It doesn't look like it to me!"

Rayleigh awkwardly looked away.

Although it wasn't at full strength...

But I used about 80% of my strength.

Who made Emperor Sima so extraordinary that he learned the "divine avoidance" technique with just one glance?

—Back then, under Roger's tutelage, it still took him three days to get a basic grasp of it.

"By the way!" Rayleigh squinted and said, "Young Emperor, so how's your mastery of this God Slash technique coming along?"

Speaking of this...

Sima Di recalled,

He discovered that his memory of "God Slash" was very deep, and his proficiency in Conqueror's Haki Entanglement had also improved dramatically.

what's the situation?

Did you just unleash your full potential with a sudden burst of power?

Oh, right!

Was that a system notification sound from Youdao?

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the iconic scene "The Slash That Buried the Rocks Pirates!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Great Swordsmanship of One Piece: Roger"!]

----------

"The Great Swordsmanship of Gol D. Roger in One Piece": As a non-Devil Fruit user, Roger traversed the seas and became the Pirate King through his swordsmanship, and his God Slash cemented an era's glory!

----------

No wonder Emperor Sima had such a high level of understanding of "God Slash"!

Oh, it turns out the system sent out the "Roger's Gift Pack"...

Exactly!

Let's use this to teach that old man Rayleigh a lesson.

Sima Di used telekinesis to retrieve Hyōrinmaru, and just like Rayleigh before, he let Armament Haki flow, and then used Conqueror's Haki to wrap it with golden lightning. The fierce aura made Rayleigh's eyebrows twitch!

This momentum...

You can’t go wrong!

Did he really learn it?

In terms of this restrained yet powerful control alone, his mastery of the "Divine Slash" surpasses even his...

And judging from his appearance, the Conqueror's Haki has improved a lot?

“Are you even human?” Rayleigh bared his teeth.

This is something no human being could do!

"I just have a tiny bit of talent," Sima Di said modestly.

Rayleigh and the others turned pale upon hearing this.

Is there even a bit of talent in him?

Then what are they?

Is there even a tiny bit of waste?

In a word,

Rayleigh was so badly affected that he started to question his existence.

He left quietly.

Sima Di shrugged at Weiwei. Why are people so easily discouraged these days?

"You're always bullying us," Weiwei said irritably.

If she didn't have Thor's hammer, she'd probably be driven to despair by now.

Now?

Thor's hammer is something even Rayleigh, the god of the underworld, couldn't lift. Doesn't her ability to lift it prove that she has a talent that surpasses Rayleigh's in some aspect?

"duck!"

Sima Di suddenly buried his face in his chest, then gave himself a blessing and let out a few loud groans.

He then walked towards the deck, feeling refreshed.

Just then, Marco flew towards them, landing on the edge of the boat and looking at Sima Di with surprise and uncertainty.

"What was that Conqueror's Haki that just erupted?" Marco asked.

So that's what you came for!

While vibranium walls are relatively resistant to impact, they cannot completely block out aura.

"I sparred with Rayleigh, the King of the Underworld, and I'm fine," Sima Di said casually. "When do we set off?"

Marco gave Sima Di a deep look.

Is it nothing serious?

That's the real problem!

The first use of Conqueror's Haki was alright, nothing special.

However, the intensity of the next two battles was terrifying, even Whitebeard was moved by them and sent Marco to gather intelligence.

Is this alright?

And look around.

There was no sign of any confrontation, indicating that all three outbursts were handled effectively, without even affecting anything nearby...

What level of control does that require?

But now, as allies,

Marco didn't want to investigate too much, and even relaxed a bit—the stronger the allies, the fewer casualties there would be on the Marineford expedition.

"We'll depart in half an hour, and we'll arrive at the designated location about half an hour ahead of schedule, giving you time to execute the plan," Marco said in a deep voice.

Sima Di nodded and gave an OK sign.

"Let's proceed according to plan. You'll still be in command of the Whitebeard Pirates. Just wait for my signal to start the second phase of the plan," Sima Di said casually.

Marco couldn't help but feel a little worried upon hearing this.

"Do you think Ace... the World Government and the Navy will really let him be rescued?"

It seems Marco also knows Ace's true identity.

But Emperor Sima was full of confidence.

"What's there to be afraid of? Whitebeard has recovered his peak strength, and with the assistance of our Straw Hat Pirates, plus Rayleigh as a henchman, as long as we follow my plan, defeating the Navy will be a piece of cake, right?" Sima Di said nonchalantly.

How does flying dragon riding face lose?

and many more!

Does this sound like a jinx?
