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

"How abominable!"

"Just for a hypothesis, you'd use human experiments to test it?"

"Those children were also tricked by him! It was BIG?OM who was the one who hired them for the giantification experiment!"

"That's absolutely outrageous!"

Chopper was so enraged he was practically furious!

but......

Still, no one took any action.

"laugh--"

A vibranium sword was planted in front of Chopper, and Sima Di took out the Hearthstone.

"The decision is yours, but... on the road to becoming the Pirate King's crew, you'll have to kill people sooner or later."

Sima Di used the Hearthstone to return to the Going Merry.

The group, who were discussing something, immediately turned their heads, but tacitly avoided mentioning Chopper.

Sima Di didn't fly far, and everyone has some kind of Observation Haki, right?

"Hasn't it been decided who will eat the Gas Fruit yet?" Sima Di asked.

"This is a bit troublesome, it's a tie." Sanji said helplessly, "Luffy is unconscious, so it doesn't count. Now it depends on your and Chopper's votes..."

Sanji suddenly paused.

Through his Observation Haki, he saw Chopper finally pick up the vibranium sword, allowing Caesar to end his sinful life in his sleep...

"Om-"

The teleportation beam lit up, and Chopper, looking somewhat unwell, returned to the Going Merry.

Sima Di stepped forward and ruffled Chopper's hat.

Subsequently,

After scanning Punk Hazard with his mental energy and confirming that there were no survivors and no possible memorable scenes, he...

Just as they were about to retract the scanner,

Unexpectedly, Caesar's seastone handcuffs and the vibranium sword stuck in his heart were not retrieved.

I wonder if it will become a treasure for someone who comes after?

Sima Di looked at everyone and said, "Kuzan is leading the navy to evacuate. In the meantime, we'll determine the timing and selection of the next round of candidates for the House of Spirits..."

"Aww—please give me a spot in the House of Time and Spirit this time!" Franky said impatiently. "I have several research projects going on recently, and my own modifications also require a lot of time."

The Straw Hat Pirates had no objections and all looked at Sima Di.

This was originally Emperor Sima's "family heirloom".

"Yes," Sima Di nodded.

"Oh—then you'd better prepare more materials for me, and also a spatial pocket, I need to bring all the research equipment with me."

"..."

Are you trying to dig a hole for me?

He glared at Franky with annoyance and asked bluntly, "So who's going with Franky this time?"

The group exchanged glances, all quite interested.

Actually, everyone really needs this year.

After all, they had just fought a tough battle and received half a day of "tutoring" from Sakazuki, so they needed time to reflect.

but......

After glancing at Franky, who was only wearing underwear and a small shirt, everyone fell silent.

Frankie will definitely get engrossed in his research.

Go with him...

It's likely that there will be very few opportunities for sparring, which will greatly hinder the progress of cultivation.

But this is a rare opportunity, and if we just waste it like this...

“Let me go!” Chopper suddenly said, “I also want to study my moves and Rumble Ball properly. Crocus-sensei’s teaching over this period of time has made me realize that there is still room for improvement.”

That's fine too.

Both of them went to do the research, so neither of them would delay the other.

Speaking of this...

"Chopper, are Rumble Balls effective against Zoan-type Devil Fruit users?" Sima Di looked at Luffy, who was lying on the ground. "Luffy is also a Zoan-type, although it's a Mythical Zoan. I wonder if it would be effective against him?"

Ah this...

Chopper was taken aback by the question!

I've never really thought about this question.

“That’s easy, just try it and you’ll see,” Usopp said.

He stepped forward, took out a large bone stick from his weapon pouch, and waved it in front of Luffy's nose.

Luffy, who was still unconscious,

Its body was swaying along with the big bone and flesh, and it even opened its mouth to bite, but Usopp dodged it.

Repeat several times,

Luffy finally opened his sleepy eyes, then snatched the big bone and started gnawing on it—it was really just a matter of swallowing it whole.

"I'm so hungry! Sanji! Hurry up and cook!" Luffy urged.

Sanji glanced instinctively at Sima Di; it seemed there were still quite a few things left to resolve...

"Let's eat first," Sima Di nodded.

There's no rush.

"Alright! I'll also prepare some extra rations for Chopper and the others," Sanji replied.

Although the dry rations weren't as delicious as the ones Sanji cooked himself, compared to the flour and water in the House of Time and Spirit, they were like delicacies.

"Aww—Emperor, while we're at it, could you help me prepare some materials?"

Sima Di rolled his eyes and walked towards the research room.

I'm destined to be a workaholic!

Sima Di only fled the research lab when Robin came to call him for dinner.

"Damn it! So you want me to be used like an animal? Don't even think about asking me for help for a year!" Sima Di said angrily.

This guy immediately demanded ten tons each of vibranium and sea stone!

Do you think this is a wholesale market?

Franky just smiled contentedly, never fighting back or arguing with Sima Di.

Robin found it amusing; there weren't many people who could make Sima Di suffer a loss.

He handed over Sanji's specially made mint water to Sima Di to soothe his throat.

He then added, "Luffy tried eating a Rumble Ball earlier, which almost made him go berserk, so he didn't dare to try again."

effective?

It's definitely a mythical beast.

"Let's go eat. Franky still needs to pack up his lab."

The two returned to the restaurant.

The only empty seats left are Vivi's left side and the space between her and Hancock.

Robin naturally sat down to Vivi's left, and let Sima Di go between the two women.

This averted a possible "battle".

Emperor Sima then sat down.

Hancock started serving him food, and Vivi followed suit, creating a mountain of vegetables in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Sima was used to it and ate little by little.

When we had almost finished eating.

Sima Di then asked, "Chopper, we're still short two votes for the Gas-Gas Fruit. Are you going to vote for Usopp or Sanji?"

Chopper's eyes widened upon hearing this!

How did the pressure suddenly come to him?

"Cough cough cough-"

Good guy!
