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

Although Emperor Sima could also use the power of words to grow larger...

But if Shirahoshi were to shrink, she could enjoy the happiness of "sharing the joy."

This was all thanks to Sanji's incredible help!

"Whoosh-"

A rusty anchor, over 100 meters long, flew towards Bai Xing, startling her and causing the people around her to scatter in panic.

"They've finally arrived!"

Sima Di flew directly to Bai Xing, raised one hand and fixed the hundred-meter anchor, then casually tossed it to the open space beside him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Sima Di smiled at Bai Xing.

Although it's a very old-fashioned "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope, it's extremely useful for the innocent and naive Shirahoshi.

"Thank you, Lord Sima!"

That brings us closer!

Sima Di glanced at Neptune and the others who had arrived and nodded.

He then converted his Observation Haki into a mental scan—a technique that is more effective and has a wider coverage for living beings.

"Got you!"

Sima Di activated the Rabbit Talisman and disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already halfway across the island, grabbing a Geoduck Fishman by the neck. He glanced at the Den Den Mushi in the man's hand, which was still on the phone, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Mind link!

"Tell him the enemy has been defeated and Shirahoshi has escaped, or you're dead!"

"Yes, yes!" the geoduck fish-man said in a panic to the Den Den Mushi, "The target has been killed. Princess Shirahoshi was slightly injured and has been taken back to the Ryugu Palace."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, you dare steal the woman I booked?" the other person said slyly. "You did a good job. Keep an eye on her, and you'll get your reward."

"Kachcha—"

The Den Den Mushi hung up, and the Geoduck Fishman's neck also broke.

How could you bear to bully such a cute girl like Shirahoshi?

To paraphrase what Vanderderen IX just said...

How dare you steal the woman I booked?

You are dead!

Sima Di rubbed his hearthstone and teleported to the Going Merry, which had already departed.

“Angle 47, speed 454 meters per second, applying the formula, the target is about 97 nautical miles away,” Franky calculated.

"Leave it to me, full speed ahead!" Mary said confidently.

Jinbe and the others also activated their Observation Haki at full power, determined not to give Vander Decken IX any chance.

The combination of the Flower-Flower Fruit and the Target-Target Fruit's overpowered nature is absolutely not to be missed!

Very soon,

The Going Merry had sailed to the target area, and Sima Di's mental scan had also detected the target—

A colossal ship of immense size!

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the iconic scene "The Lost Noah's Ark!"! You have received the sign-in reward "Starfighter Energy Shield Generator"!]

"Starfighter Energy Shield Generator": This generator produces a defensive force field, transforming into an energy shield to protect targets from attacks until the energy is depleted!

That's right!

The "Ark of Oath" was built by the Fish-Man Island team hundreds of years ago. Its original purpose was to allow the Fish-Man Island to migrate to the surface, but this plan has obviously been shelved.

It's surprising that Van der Deiken IX would choose such a "commemorative" location; he's truly bold and skillful.

Sima Di directly shared his location with everyone through a mental link.

"I'm going to capture him!" Jinbe rushed out of the bubble wrap.

As a strong member of the merfolk

Moving freely in the deep sea at a depth of 10,000 meters is just routine operation.

Sanji was a step too late; he made a suit out of bubble wrap and caught up with them.

The others did not move.

So Vander Decken IX's strength is just so-so, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden so far away to throw hidden weapons, but would have stayed arrogantly on Fishman Island like Hody...

Then they get caught red-handed.

I thought this would be an easy job, since finding the rat was the most troublesome part.

strength?

Emperor Sima was too lazy to take action.

I just didn't expect it...

"Hmm? This is interesting."

Upon hearing Sima Di's words, everyone was about to ask what was going on.

Then they saw Noah's Ark, as huge as Fishman Island, take off and tear apart the seaweed that entangled it, flying slowly and steadily toward Fishman Island.

"brush--"

"brush--"

Jinbe and Sanji used their Hearthstones to teleport back to the deck, with Jinbe carrying a lewd, unconscious fishman.

"Damn it!" Sanji said with a grim expression, "I didn't expect that he could touch the deck and activate his Target-Target Fruit ability even while inside the cabin, throwing that huge ship away!"

"His target is Princess Shirahoshi!" Jinbe said in a deep voice, "We must stop him, otherwise Fish-Man Island..."

Needless to say, it's definitely a case of bad luck!

This was unexpected for Sima Di; it seemed he could get an extra memorable moment in his autograph?

He hadn't originally planned to sign in at this event, since he might accidentally ruin Fishman Island.

“I can give it a try!” Rab said.

Hancock and Jinbe looked on in surprise.

This little girl actually dares to say she can pull Noah's Ark?

Laboon's true form is a ten-thousand-meter-long sea king, and it's not impossible that Noah's Ark was originally designed to be pulled by a sea king.

but......

Compared to the sea monsters that pulled Noah's Ark in the original story, these were all about the same size as Noah's Ark, and Laboon's 10,000-meter size was still far from being comparable.

Sima Di pressed down on her shoulder.

“Don’t push yourself, this is beyond your capabilities,” Sima Di said. “I have a better idea… Melie, return to Fishman Island at full speed.”

"Yes!"

Merry steered the Golden Merry around, quickly overtaking the slow-moving Noah's Ark, and returned to Fishman Island at full speed.

Sima Di, on the other hand, had a smile on his lips.

If we execute this well, taking down Shirahoshi will be no problem at all!

It will take some time to return.

Sima Di asked Sanji to materialize the Target-Target Fruit first.

Sanji skillfully pulled out an apple, kicked Vander Decken IX so hard that all of his teeth were shattered, and then uncorked the bottle of the Devil Fruit separation drug and shoved it down his throat.

"Gululu——"

Vander Decken IX seemed to be waking up in pain, but Sanji didn't hesitate to kick him in the forehead, knocking him unconscious again.

That was a really hard kick!

Usopp grinned at the sight. Vander Decken IX was really unlucky; of all people to mess with, he had to mess with Sanji's "dream fish."

Strange patterns crawled all over the apple in Sanji's palm, and in a few breaths it turned into a Devil Fruit full of "bullet eyes".

"It actually works!" Jinbe exclaimed in amazement.

"Hmm?" Hancock looked at her coldly.

"I'm not questioning the First Mate!" Jinbe said, waving his chubby hand. "I'm just amazed! To actually be able to strip someone of their Devil Fruit abilities... that's truly unheard of!"

"Hmph!" Hancock raised her swan-like neck.

Good guy,

Isn't this too much of a show of protecting their own emperor?

Normally,
