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

"hold head high--"

A ten-meter-long, five-clawed black-gold dragon swooped down from the palm towards the sea, blasting away seawater within a radius of hundreds of meters. Seconds later, countless raindrops and fish and shrimp fell.

Sima Di did not use telekinesis to block it, but instead happily opened his arms to welcome the rain.

Become!

Domineering aura can indeed replace internal energy, allowing you to directly unleash martial arts moves!

People in this world are all so stupid.

It turns out that it's just a simple "defense" or "amplification" of domineering power?

They haven't developed many powerful moves at all.

Now......

Emperor Sima arrived with a head full of knowledge!

"Tsk! As expected of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, it consumes a lot of energy. This palm strike used nearly 10% of its domineering power."

"However, its power is undeniable. Not to mention its ranged attack capabilities, its destructive power far surpasses that of advanced Haki."

We are currently summarizing our experiences.

The Den Den Mushi in my pocket rang, and when I answered it, I saw it was Crocus calling.

"Young Master, were you using a Devil Fruit ability just now, or...?"

Good guy!

He decided to test it on a whim, but Crocus discovered it in real time?

With his bounty of 824 million Berries and the title of "Devil's Ship Doctor," this guy is definitely not simple!

"Yes, it's a move powered by domineering energy." Sima Di admitted directly, "Come here, I'll show you."

Was it because of Long Jingyu that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms were able to succeed?

Or is it true that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms can be activated with domineering energy?

This also needs to be verified.

However, Sima Di certainly wouldn't teach Crocus all of the cool moves of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

so......

When Crocus rushed over, Sima Di taught him the "Dragon Appearing in the Field" technique.

Because it was transmitted directly through "telepathy," Crocus, with his seasoned experience, quickly mastered this "simple and brutal" technique.

Then he realized something was wrong!

"Young Emperor, why is this a defensive move? It's not the same as the dragon you attacked before!" Crocus frowned.

"Such a cool move, of course only I can do it!" Sima Di made no attempt to hide it.

Crocus's eye twitched at the sound, but he didn't ask any further questions.

“Alright, you attack me with that move, and I’ll try defending with this one,” Crocus suggested.

"no problem!"

Emperor Sima smiled.

You brought this up yourself!

Sima Di immediately activated the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, secretly gathering all his domineering power—old man, this time I've at least found out a bit of your true strength!

"Shocking for miles around!!!"

"hold head high))))---"

This move isn't anything special, it's just incredibly powerful!

A dragon head, several times taller than Sima Di, appeared and hurtled towards Crocus, sending the ground flying wherever it passed. Its power was terrifying enough to be seen with the naked eye!

"Young Master Di! Are you going to kill me?"

Crocus also hurriedly activated his Haki, slamming his palms in front of him to create a coiled five-clawed black-gold dragon, firmly trapping it within.

"See the dragon in the field!"

The only defensive move in the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and it can be transformed into other moves to attack the enemy at any time—but Crocus only knows this one move, so he can only defend.

Sima Di's five-clawed black-gold dragon crashed into the defense constructed by Crocus, its body stretching for a hundred meters but still not fully protruding from his palm.

"hold head high--"

"hold head high--"

The two five-clawed black-gold dragons clashed and attacked each other, the aftershocks tearing apart the earth below. Nearby buildings shook and collapsed, spreading rapidly into the distance!

"No!" Crocus roared, "Retract it now!"

Sima Di also realized something was wrong, and quickly turned his palm force to send the five-clawed black gold dragon soaring into the sky.

But it's still too late.

The area within a radius of several thousand meters has been reduced to ruins. Countless buildings were affected and collapsed, burying nearly 10,000 people underneath, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Crocus glanced around with a grim expression, about to set off to rescue as many survivors as possible.

An invisible wave that made his heart tremble spread out, and before Crocus could turn around, everything around him was "rewinding".

The collapsed building has been restored to its original state.

The shattered earth returned to its flat state.

The citizens who were wiped away are also brought back to life!

Everything was like...

Time has turned back!

Kurokas looked at Sima Di in shock. Although the latter looked completely exhausted, he still couldn't hide how astonishing the thing he had just done was...

"Just now... you reversed time?" Crocus asked in disbelief.

"Phew—" Sima Di let out a long breath: "At most, it can only last 3 seconds. This is the first time I've used this ability, and I almost couldn't withstand the consumption!"

Under normal circumstances, Emperor Sima would not have been in such a sorry state.

But he had just used the Dragon Essence Language and exhausted all his domineering aura.

This kind of high energy expenditure is really starting to overwhelm me.

"You...your Devil Fruit ability is truly unheard of!" Crocus exclaimed.

Even though he had seen the world following Roger, he had never seen such a comprehensive Devil Fruit ability—it was as if there was no Devil Fruit he couldn't do and no weakness.

"Let's go first," Sima Di said. "The commotion just now will definitely cause a stir, and I don't want to be treated like a gorilla on a tour."

Crocus nodded.

Using telekinesis, the two of them soared into the sky, avoiding the crowd that rushed to their aid.

in the air,

Sima Di looked at the clouds in the sky with a large hole in them, which was the result of his palm strike when he deflected the force.

Even so...

They still couldn't force Crocus to reveal his true nature.

"Old man Crocus, you're not simple!" Sima Di said with a sidelong glance, "You've only just learned how to 'Dragon Appears in the Field,' yet you can defend against my full-force palm strike. You're truly a master of concealment!"

"After all, I'm getting old. This world belongs to you young people now, so I won't get involved too much. Let's give young people more opportunities to gain experience," Crocus explained, a rare occurrence for him.

“That makes sense!” Sima Di agreed. “That’s what I think too, which is why I always arrange suitable opponents for them to gain experience.”

He and Crocus are like brothers, if not the second oldest, they're both slackers.

the difference is,

Crocus's slacking off is simply laziness.

Sima Di's "slacking off" is a famous scene where he becomes stronger by signing in.

"Young Emperor, so this move... are you planning to pass it on to others?" Crocus asked.

Is it the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms?

"Of course not!" Sima Di shook his head directly.

Such a cool move, only he could do it!

In no mood......

Crocus nodded and said, "As expected, you also noticed... This technique requires the release of Haki to be cultivated, and it is impossible to use it if the Haki is not strong enough. At least a high level of Haki is required."

Um......

Emperor Sima really didn't notice!

But Emperor Sima certainly wouldn't contradict himself; in fact, he even continued the conversation—

"I will create a few more techniques with less demanding cultivation requirements, and then I will tailor them to each of them."
