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

But once the strength declines...

They would age very quickly—for example, during the Warring States period.

Very soon,

The three returned to the Straw Hat Pirates' base, where everyone gathered around them.

"So, did you get your new position?" Usopp asked eagerly.

Sima Di had already obtained information about the original history of the red road sign, but due to the large number of people and conflicting opinions, he did not explain it to everyone—perhaps this is a common flaw of wise people, who always try to minimize variables as much as possible.

"Of course, the second coordinate has been determined," Robin nodded.

This greatly excited Chopper and the others!

Crocus, however, gave a wry smile.

Was it really that smooth?

He and Roger, along with others, almost lost their lives in the Land of the Rising Sun when they tried to steal the original rubbing of the red road sign from Big Omega...

After everyone calmed down.

Emperor Sima then waved his hand.

A Sagittarius Gold Cloth box with a dark gold hue appeared before everyone's eyes.

Dark gold?

Compared to the brilliant golden color that Sima Di remembered, it clearly lacked much of its radiance.

It seems that this is because of the "damage" that the color is dull - I originally thought it would be missing an arm or a leg.

?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?炷?

Debt repayment progress: [71000 words / 144000 words]!

There are still 3 more bonus chapters to go before automatic subscription!

74. The Gold Cloth recognizes its master! The cosmos awakens?

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Vivi asked curiously.

"Oh, this is a piece of equipment similar to Thor's hammer," Sima Di said casually. "As long as you can gain its approval, your combat power can increase several times over on the spot."

In an instant!

Everyone's eyes were fixed intently on the Sagittarius Gold Cloth Box!

Everyone has witnessed the wonder of Thor's hammer, so how could Sima Di's box be comparable to Thor's hammer?

The group exchanged glances.

They all revealed eyes that were determined to win!

"Emperor! Speak!" Usopp said eagerly, "What are your conditions this time?"

Weiwei and the others stared intently at Sima Di, awaiting his answer.

Emperor Sima hesitated for a moment...

What were the selection criteria for the Sagittarius Gold Cloth?

It doesn't seem to be mentioned in the anime either...

But Emperor Sima could probably guess a few of the conditions.

First and foremost, it's about strength!

Logically speaking,

There's no reason why the Gold Cloth would randomly choose someone with the lowest Bronze-level strength as its master.

But this is the world of One Piece. Whether or not someone has awakened their cosmos, in the perception of Sagittarius Gold Saint 983 Cloth, they are probably all about the same.

Secondly, one must obtain official approval from the Emperor Sima – that is, the approval of the Pope or a goddess.

Almost all of the Saint Cloths have a connotation of being bestowed.

This authority to grant armor can also be delegated by the Pope to instructors around the world; most bronze and silver armors are granted by their instructors.

But like the universe, this is the world of pirates.

Perhaps Sima Di, who is half the master, could play this role?

He has already allowed the Straw Hat Pirates and others to test it, which is tantamount to granting it to them.

Then there's the requirement of good character; at the very least, one must not have a history of major evils.

This clause is actually a bit more lenient.

War inevitably involves killing, and it's unavoidable that innocent people will be affected. Therefore, it's estimated that wrongdoing within a certain scope can still be tolerated.

The Cancer Gold Cloth "Death" has committed countless evils, indiscriminately killing innocent people, and even killing his predecessors on a false imperial edict.

The Saint Cloth still recognizes him as its master.

until,

Deathmask's repeated killings of the goddess's guardians are what earned him the contempt of the Saint Cloth.

This should be the limit of what the Saint Cloth can tolerate.

According to rule number two,

That means we cannot kill those who belong to the Sima clan, the emperor's faction?

The Straw Hat Pirates are all adventurers who have saved more than one country, so they definitely meet this requirement.

In conclusion...

"Let it be," Sima Di said.

He couldn't explain these conditions to everyone, so this was all he could say.

The Straw Hat Pirates: "..."

That's a very casual way of putting it!

No one knew where to begin, and they could only rack their brains in frustration.

Zoro was the first to ask, "You should at least let us know what's in this box, right?"

Ah this...

"Didn't I say that?" Sima Di scratched his head and asked.

"There's none at all!" Zoro exclaimed, exasperated.

He was perhaps the only person present who had no desire for any equipment other than the famous sword.

—Didn't you see that Luffy was very interested in the Sagittarius Gold Cloth?

However, he's probably not interested in the increased combat power, but rather in the fact that he thinks this thing is cool.

“Alright, let me reintroduce it.” Sima Di said, “This is the Sagittarius Gold Cloth Box, the battle armor worn by Saints. The Cloth has a will and a life, so it can often unleash unimaginable abilities! And if you obtain it, you can gain a completely new ability.”

After thinking about it,

Sima Di added, "Oh, by the way, this Sagittarius Gold Cloth is equipped with a weapon, a golden bow."

Everyone: "???"

A golden bow?

Isn't that just ranged damage?

Everyone instinctively looked at the ship's only sniper—Usopp.

"Haha! The Golden Bow? Then it's definitely mine!" Usopp said confidently.

He's the only sniper on the ship!

In the past,

Whenever Usopp is so confident, he is bound to be proven wrong in the next second.

But this time...

"Kacha——"

The Sagittarius Gold Cloth Box seemed to sense some kind of will. Suddenly, the box opened and assembled into the shape of a centaur drawing his bow to shoot an arrow. Then, it burst apart and turned into parts that flew towards Usopp, matching his body and assembling on him.

"Wow!"

"So handsome!"

"Is this the Sagittarius Gold Cloth? I love it!"

......

Everyone was amazed!

Because,

The Sagittarius Gold Cloth is so cool!
