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

Emperor Sima smiled.

Bartholomew Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit is incredibly powerful when he attacks!

"Do any of you still want to travel?" Tyrant Bear suddenly asked. "The payment will be the same bag we used before."

They've got their eyes on the spatial pocket?

However, Sima Di immediately realized that Tyrant Bear probably didn't want it for himself. This spatial pocket would be a godsend for the Revolutionary Army to transfer supplies.

Sima Di did not refuse outright, but looked at the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Everyone shook their heads.

Their gazes then focused on Brook, Crocus, and Lab.

The bond between these three goes without saying, and they are also the most likely to leave the team at present.

Especially Crocus.

His goal was to help Laboon find the Rumbar Pirates, and he has now achieved that dream. In addition, he also visited Laugh Tale on his last trip.

It seems there's nothing more to strive for?

"Yohohoho—although I really miss the fine wine and music festivals of the West Blue, I still have to carry the will of the Rumbar Pirates to Laugh Tale!" Brook declared first.

Although his motivation for persevering for the past 50 years was his promise to Laboon, the final island was also the common goal of the Rumbar Pirates!

Now that he's all alone, he has to go check it out for the guy.

and......

"How can we disembark halfway through such an interesting pirate crew?" Brook continued, "Yohohoho—I won't be satisfied until I see Luffy become the Pirate King!"

Luffy grinned foolishly.

then,

Brooke looked at Rab and suggested, "Rab, why don't you go back to the Western Sea to find your..."

"No!" Laboon refused. "I came to the Grand Line with the Rumbar Pirates when I was little, and grew up with Grandpa Crocus. The West Blue is just my hometown, not my home. Home is where you and Grandpa Crocus are! And Emperor! Robin! Everyone! Let's all be together, okay?"

Lab looked at Crocus with teary eyes, knowing that Crocus was the most likely to leave the team.

The Straw Hat Pirates held their breath in anticipation. Crocus, as their mentor, was respected by everyone, and they had long regarded him as family.

What will Crocus's choice be?

52. Perona was actually...

Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd,

Crocus smiled indulgently and ruffled Laboon's hair.

"Silly girl, where else can I go?"

Isn't Raab his only family member too?

Brooke could be considered half of one.

As for Roger's former crewmates...

Perhaps there are a few close friends, but everyone is old and retired, and they all have their own lives.

"Yay!" Rab jumped up with a cheer.

"Yohohoho—this scene is truly heartwarming, it makes me want to burst into song!" Brooke pulled out...

A piano!

Good guy!

Could this guy have a bunch of musical instruments in his spatial pocket?

Seeing this, the Tyrant Bear silently turned to leave.

Although interested in space pockets

But since it's Luffy's pirate crew, there's no point in keeping it if we can't just take it by force.

"Wait a little longer!" Emperor Sima urged again.

Tyrant Bear turned around directly this time, his gaze calmly fixed on Emperor Sima.

It's as if asking, "Is there anything else?"

"Let's talk over there."

Sima Di walked towards the open space in the distance, and Tyrant Bear silently followed.

Once they reached a distance where the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't hear them, Sima Di used his Word Power to create a "Silence Barrier."

Only then did he speak: "Bartholomew...?"

Tyrant Xiong Gubo's unperturbed gaze finally changed, and he stared intently at Emperor Sima.

"How did you know?"

This is something that even the Navy and world governments don't know!

Emperor Sima did not offer much explanation.

He retrieved a "urea sack" from the system space—that's right! It was a "urea sack"!

That's just his weird sense of humor.

This is a "super-large capacity" burlap sack that he specially made using the Dragon Essence Language; there is only one of its kind.

Now that we've encountered Bartholomew Kuma, and the Revolutionary Army happens to need him.

Let's support them then.

It wasn't that I was interested in the revolutionary army or in revolutionary world politics.

He simply admired Dragon's dream and his ideal of fighting for the freedom of civilians, which made him worthy of helping him.

"Here, take this with you. You can also pass on a message to Dragon: When we met in Loguetown, we didn't know his identity. People can support a boat, but they can also capsize it. It's important to develop your country secretly and be one of your own, but the hearts of the people cannot be ignored."

Tyrant Bear held the urea sack and nodded silently.

"Speaking of which..." Sima Di asked curiously, "Why did you willingly become the prototype of the pacifist? With your abilities, you could have left anytime you wanted, right?"

Tyrant Bear stood there silently, his gaze completely changed.

Emperor Sima even knew this intelligence?

How did he know?

"You know, we just stormed Enies Lobby a while ago and even triggered the Buster Call," Sima Di said, shrugging.

Tyrant Bear was either imagining things or simply not interested in Sima Di's sources of information.

He said in a deep voice, "Regarding the reform... besides the arrangements made by the Revolutionary Army, the World Government is also threatening me with my country. If I don't agree, they might... my physique is very special, and they will definitely do that."

That's it!

The fact that Tyrant Bear's country has him as its king is both their fortune and their misfortune.

"This is truly the consistent style of world politics..." Sima Di mocked.

He then waved his hand, turned around, and left.

Bartholomew Kuma calmly watched Sima Di leave, then saw the Straw Hat Pirates surround him, pressing him for details of what he had said.

The pleasant atmosphere made him feel a little envious.

Immediately followed by determination!

He wanted to bring a new revolution to his country and the world, so that everyone could run freely on the land!

So the necessary sacrifices...

"Wave--"

Tyrant Bear disappeared and headed to its next stop.

He needs to talk to Dorrag; time is of the essence, he must hurry.

Emperor Sima glanced in the direction where Tyrant Bear had left, feeling somewhat regretful.

Dragon Essence Language is still on cooldown.

Otherwise, he could have materialized something like a "super storage chip," which would have prevented Tyrant Bear from being completely transformed and forgetting everything.

For no other reason than

It was all because of the frustration and regret he felt when he saw Bartholomew Kuma become a Celestial Dragon's mount in the anime.

"Tell me, what did you talk about with that guy just now?" Lala asked, tugging at Sima Di's hand affectionately.
