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

Why are you praising me?

It would be so much easier to let Luffy, that hothead, charge into battle whenever something happens.

He casually remarked, "It's probably because I orchestrated the Marineford War that the Navy holds a grudge against me."

Speaking of which,

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The reason the Marineford War was so easy, with the Straw Hat Pirates penetrating deep into enemy territory without even triggering their damage-sharing aura a few times, is because Sima Di's strategy was too good!

He deliberately had Whitebeard's fleet surface to attract attention, then used dark clouds as cover to approach from the sky, launching a surprise attack that caught the Navy off guard and boosted Nami's power. While Whitebeard drew away the three admirals' forces, he used his Hearthstone to regroup at lightning speed, flanking them and rescuing Ace.

The regrouping of the Roger Pirates was also crucial, making it impossible for the Red-Haired Pirates' "defection" to change the course of the battle.

Sima Di had everything perfectly planned out!

"It's a good thing the Straw Hat Pirates have Emperor around, otherwise if Luffy were to make the plans, he would definitely lead the charge and attack from the front," Nami exclaimed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"What's wrong with just charging straight in?" Luffy said, annoyed. "As long as you're strong enough, you can totally break through!"

Tsk!

If it weren't for Whitebeard's immense power, even the current Straw Hat Pirates would have been in serious trouble facing a battle of the scale of the Marineford War. It would have depended on Sima Di unleashing his full potential.

Not much,

It was just about fighting three generals and the Warring States period.

Sima Di felt exhausted just thinking about it...

Isn't it great to just use your brain in the back and enjoy a comfortable and memorable sign-in moment?

"Hey, they're all here."

Ace appeared by the ship's edge, smiling brightly at everyone.

Sima Di looked left and right, but couldn't see any trace of Roger.

On the contrary...

Sima Di looked at Luffy, who was also smiling brightly.

He still suspected that Garp had pulled a "switcheroo" trick!

After all, the talent of "listening to all things" has only been possessed by Roger, Luffy, Kozuki Oden, and Kozuki Momonosuke so far.

Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Momonosuke are father and son.

Roger and Luffy...

"It's just that the age difference is a bit... But since Momonosuke could travel from the past twenty years ago, what's so impossible about a three-year age gap?"

As Ace and the others thanked him one by one, Sima Di had a certain suspicion in his mind.

“You seem to be thinking about something strange,” Rayleigh’s voice suddenly rang out.

Sima Di glanced at Rayleigh, who had appeared out of nowhere.

After a slight hesitation,

He tentatively asked, "Don't you think... Luffy looks a lot like a young Roger?"

Rayleigh raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and carefully examined Luffy.

Although I was surprised and my eyes widened!

But then he shook his head.

“When I met Roger, he was already quite mature, so I don’t know what he looked like when he was young… Why would you ask that?” Rayleigh countered.

"Oh, it's this ability to hear all things. All I know so far is that Roger has it," Sima Di said casually.

Rayleigh let out a subtle sigh of relief.

"What? The ability to hear the voices of all things was also possessed by Kozuki Oden, who was the former second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He was later borrowed by Roger and also went up Laugh Tale together."

Sima Di just smiled and looked at Rayleigh. Do I look like someone who's easy to fool?

Your performance just now has already said a lot!

"Ahem!" Rayleigh quickly changed the subject: "Are you preparing to set off again? I can coat you with a protective coating..."

"No need." Sima Di snapped his fingers.

Bubble wrap!

All the ships docked in the port were coated with bubble wrap, and by the standards of Rayleigh's coating craftsmen, it was all top-grade bubble wrap.

There are enough ships to bypass Fishman Island and travel directly through the caves to the New World.

"It really is......"

"If you say that again, believe me, I'll tell Ace and the others my guesses?" Sima Di raised an eyebrow.

Rayleigh smacked his lips, staring at Sima Di with a hint of helplessness.

“You rascal, sometimes you have to play dumb,” Rayleigh reminded him.

"I have no interest in who the real son of the Pirate King is, and Luffy's identity is none of my business. In my eyes, he's just a goofy captain who eats a lot," Sima Di shrugged.

Rayleigh nodded at this attitude and was about to say something more.

On the nearby Moby Dick, Whitebeard appeared with Marco and the others.

"Gurgle gurgle—this bubble wrap, it must have been you who made it, little Emperor, right?"

"Do you like it?" Sima Di asked with a smile.

"Very well! In that case, we should head back." Whitebeard laughed. "Straw Hat Pirates, we'll be waiting for you in the New World. Let's see who'll be the first to suffer, Big Omega or Kaido! Gurarara—"

This white-bearded man was also decisive and efficient.

The bubble wrap was finally in place, and it was time to leave.

Ace had no choice but to wave goodbye to Luffy and turn to look at Sima Di.

"Your Majesty, I'm counting on you to take good care of Luffy."

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself!" Luffy retorted, annoyed.

But it's precisely this attitude that makes him seem even more childish!

"Don't worry, he's my captain after all. I won't stand by and watch him die," Sima Di said with a smile.

If he hadn't died...

Then don't blame him for turning a blind eye.

"That's for the best. You need to experience more to become stronger!" Ace exclaimed.

He was too confident, which led to Teach capturing him and ultimately the Marineford War.

"What? I'm going to be the Pirate King! I don't need anyone to take care of me!" Luffy grumbled.

Ace and Sima Di exchanged glances; the former looked helpless, while the latter seemed used to it.

"It's a pity you guys won't acknowledge me as your father, otherwise I would be happy to take you all as my sons, and then I could keep an eye on Luffy," Ace said, feigning regret.

But this may be his main purpose for this trip—to act as an intermediary for Whitebeard.

"Gurararara—how about it, do you want to reconsider?" The white-bearded man opposite laughed loudly, "It's not shameful to be my child!"

nonsense!

Who wouldn't want a father who is a Yonko (Emperor of the Sea)?

and......

"You can continue your adventures without having to return to the territory with your father," Marco declared, throwing out his trump card. "We can share the Road Poneglyphs, and whoever becomes the Pirate King in the end will have to prove themselves. How about that?"

The Straw Hat Pirates are all about pursuing free adventure, so Whitebeard will give it to you!

As long as you acknowledge him as your father, you can gain the protection of one of the Four Emperors' crews...

Usopp was the first to fall in love!

But before he could speak...

"No way!" Luffy refused without hesitation: "If I become your son, what does it mean if I become the Pirate King? Rely on my father? I will become the Pirate King through my own strength and that of my crew!"

Hey!

The young man has quite aspirations.

"Hmph! My father, your white beard is not worthy of such a title!" Hancock raised her swan-like neck.

Usopp, who was now tempted, could only silently swallow his thoughts.

He is still very self-aware.

If it weren't for Sima Di and the others, he alone wouldn't have caught Whitebeard's eye, and recognizing him as a father would have made him seem out of place.

"Gurarara—Marco, I told you they wouldn't agree." Whitebeard wasn't annoyed at all, waving his hand and saying, "Let's go! I'll be waiting for you in the New World, and I hope you'll become the new Four Emperors then! Gurarara—"

The Moby Dick is sinking.
