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

I'm not his nanny!

Think about it carefully,

It seems he's been helping everyone get stronger lately?

It's only natural that Vivi is my woman.

But others...

Dragon Essence Language has a cooldown period.

If you use it to create customized techniques for others, wouldn't you be stuck in the same place yourself?

"Um......"

"There are not many who have mastered the domineering aura left. After they have finished exchanging for it, we should appropriately reduce the resources given to them."

"After all, I'm not here to be a babysitter."

Sima Di continued to use his Word of Power to keep his domineering aura running, and looked towards the arena.

The group had calmed down and were now curiously looking at Brooke.

"It really is a skeleton!"

"The bones are so white."

"I never knew waists could be this slender!"

"Is this hair real?"

......

Brook seems to be quite popular.

Because of Laboon and Crocus's connection, even though Brook looks scary now, Usopp wasn't too afraid.

Luffy finally couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Brook! Become my crewmate!"

“No problem,” Brooke replied without hesitation.

With Laboon on board, the Straw Hat Pirates...

Even if Luffy doesn't invite him, Brook will definitely try to join.

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the iconic scene "The Straw Hat Pirates' Fastest Invitation to Join the Crew!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Rabbit Talisman of the Fire Demon Shendu"!]

----------

"The Rabbit Talisman of the Fire Demon Shendu": Originally belonging to the Fire Demon "Shendu," it is also one of the twelve talismanic powers within Shendu. It grants the wielder incredible speed through teleportation and agility. Furthermore, if struck by an ion wave, it can travel through time to the past!

----------

[The reward has been deposited into the system space!]

Rabbit Talisman!

Like the Chicken Talisman, it is one of the twelve talismans, and its ability is simply extreme speed.

This is a capability that Emperor Sima currently lacks.

In the past

Sima Di might choose to give it to someone in the Straw Hat Pirates, which would instantly boost their combat power and make them a main force member.

But now...

Sima Di took it out from the system space, held it directly in his palm, absorbed the rabbit talisman, and integrated it into his own power.

"brush--"

Sima Di activated the rabbit talisman and transformed into a beam of light, accompanied by a corresponding mental response, making everything around him appear as if it had frozen in time.

Although being mobile still makes him vulnerable to Observation Haki, it gives Sima Di the initiative to "freely choose the timing of the battle".

If you want to fight, come close; if you don't want to fight, pull away.

If you can't catch up, then just stare at them helplessly.

This Brooke is capable of handling things.

In a short period of time, it has already contributed five memorable moments.

Sima Di returned to his original position, and Crocus glanced back at him.

It was obvious that they had discovered Sima Di's "shopping" behavior earlier.

However, they didn't pay too much attention to it, assuming it was just a new ability developed by Sima Di.

there,

After accepting Luffy's invitation, Brook immediately raised his question.

"However, I cannot leave with you directly because... my shadow has been stolen by a group of people, and if it were exposed to sunlight, it would be burned to ashes."

"What!" Rab roared, "How dare someone do this? Where are they? I'll kill them!"

Laboon's fist gleamed black, causing Brooke to silently take a half-step back—he had just experienced firsthand the power of that dark fist.

A black fist that can make skeletons feel pain!

"Rabu, don't worry, I'm not sure where they are either. We just happened to meet them in this black fog many years ago... I haven't eaten in many years. I wonder if you could treat me to a meal?"

"Leave it to me!" Sanji laughed. "I'm Sanji, the ship's chef. I guarantee you'll have a feast you'll never forget!"

That tone...

Sanji is about to get serious!

Obviously,

Because of Laboon and Crocus, and Brook's 50 years of lonely waiting, Sanji has already accepted this partner.

The Straw Hat Pirates couldn't help but show their anticipation upon hearing this!

"Let's go!"

"Back to the Going Merry!"

"Let's go!"

......

Although the Going Merry had drifted away into the black fog to an unknown location, that didn't matter at all.

Everyone took out their Hearthstones, ready to start rubbing them.

Suddenly, the Going Merry burst out of the black mist and slowly but firmly came to a stop in front of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The entire Straw Hat Pirates are here, which is obviously thanks to "Merry".

"Merry, you've come to pick us up!" Luffy shouted.

The others also jumped onto the deck of the Going Merry.

"I'm sorry, Merry, for leaving you all alone." Usopp apologized belatedly.

The situation at the time...

Usopp was terrified and never considered staying on the Going Merry.

Chopper and Nami scratched their heads sheepishly.

Chopper is alright.

It was a bit much for Nami, the navigator, to abandon the Going Merry.

After apologizing to the Going Merry, he suddenly glared angrily at the Straw Hat Pirates!

"Hey guys, can't you discuss your actions beforehand next time?" Nami roared. "The whole main force has run off at once. What if we encounter the enemy's Going Merry? What are we supposed to do?"

Everyone: "..."

But I thought the skeleton looked really interesting, so I definitely wanted to see it.

Meanwhile, the usually composed Sima Di and his companions, seeing the unusual behavior of Lab and Crocus, guessed at a certain possibility and could no longer contain themselves.

In the end, only Nami and the other two were left trembling in fear...

"Ahem! This was an accident," Sima Di said. "Normally, this wouldn't happen. Let's not do it again, okay?"

Emperor Sima winked at the crowd.

"Ah, yes, yes! The Emperor is right!"

"Yes, yes, yes! This won't happen again!"

"We're sorry, Merry, we won't do it again!"

......

With everyone's assurances, Nami calmed down.

Only Brooke asked curiously, "Who is Merry? The Merry? Is that the name of the ship? If there was no one on board just now, who sailed over to pick us up?"

“It’s a ship spirit, Skeleton Bro,” Franky explained.

But this only made Brooke more confused.
