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

"puff!"

Jack spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Sima Di had already arrived in front of Jack, a cold smile on his face.

Chapter 1: No matter how powerful the Three Calamities are, aren't they still defeated opponents?

"You're my defeated foe, yet you dare to fight me? You're utterly absurd!"

After saying that, Sima Di raised his right foot and stomped hard on Jack's chest, smiling mockingly.

Upon seeing this, Jack's eyes flashed with boundless resentment.

"I'm going to kill you!" Jack shouted angrily.

"Hmph!" Sima Di sneered, then drew a bolt of lightning and struck down at Jack.

Seeing the lightning hurtling towards him, Jack's expression changed, and he quickly dodged it.

"Boom!"

The lightning struck the ground, causing a deafening roar, raising dust and creating a thick fog. A deep crater appeared in the ground, with several deep cracks running through it.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Sima narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This guy actually managed to dodge it! Looks like I underestimated you!" Sima Di said with a sneer.

"Haha!" Jack looked at Sima Di with a mocking expression and said, "These petty tricks are nothing to me!"

Sima Di's face darkened. It seemed that he had truly underestimated Jack's strength over the years.

Thinking of this, Sima Di's body vanished instantly.

Jack's expression changed when he saw that Sima Di had disappeared. He hadn't expected Sima Di to be so fast.

"boom!"

Sima Di's figure suddenly appeared behind Jack, then raised his fist and slammed it down hard on Jack's head.

Sensing the danger emanating from behind, a flicker of panic flashed in Jack's eyes.

Then he suddenly turned around and slapped Sima Di's fist with his palm.

"Snapped!"

Fists and palms meet.

Both of them were thrown backward at the same time, and a trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of their mouths.

Upon seeing this, Jack's pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He had just used 60% of his strength, yet he was still no match for Sima Di.

No wonder this guy was so arrogant! No wonder he was able to kill Jason! It turns out, his strength had reached such a terrifying level.

Sima Di sneered, his gaze towards Jack becoming even more contemptuous. "Is this all the strength you've got?"

Jack felt incredibly frustrated, then gritted his teeth and said, "Sima Di, I'm going to kill you!"

Jack's face darkened completely. He hadn't expected that his progress over the years would be surpassed by someone else; to him, this was an utter insult.

"hehe!"

Upon hearing Jack's words, Sima Di scoffed and laughed dismissively.

"You think you can kill me? You're far from it!"

As Sima Di spoke, he charged forward once again.

Seeing Sima Di attack him, a cold glint flashed in Jack's eyes. "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, he began to channel his power once more.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

A series of muffled thuds rang out, and two figures were locked in fierce combat on the ground.

In an instant, the wind howled and dust flew everywhere.

After one move, Sima Di's fist smashed directly into Jack's chest, sending Jack flying.

"boom!"

Jack crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"how come?"

Jack's face turned pale. He hadn't expected that he couldn't even touch Sima Di's clothes, let alone hurt him.

Moreover, judging from Sima Di's appearance just now, he seemed completely unaffected.

Seeing Sima Di's appearance, Jack felt even more depressed.

This guy is so strong! No wonder he was able to kill Jason. I'm probably no match for him at all!

"What? Still not convinced?" Sima Di asked with a sneer, looking at Jack's sullen face.

75 Embarking on a New Journey

……

Having solved Jack's problem, we embarked on a new journey.

As the train sounded its whistle and set off, Luffy and the others pressed their faces against the window, watching with delight the scenery rushing past outside.

This speed is more than five times that of the Merry.

About an hour later, everyone's initial excitement wore off, and they went about their own business.

Some were sleeping, some were reading, some were daydreaming, and some were chatting.

"Sima Di! You don't look like this is your first time on a train!" Usopp asked. He recalled Sima Di's smooth conversation with the ticket inspector and how he found his seat almost instantly according to the number.

“Of course it’s not the first time. But… this kind of retro-style steam train is a first,” Sima Di said.

"Are there many trains like this in the Golden Dragon Kingdom?" Usopp asked.

"The Golden Dragon Kingdom?" Sima Di was taken aback. "Ah, is that the one Kuzan mentioned?"

"That's right, isn't Emperor Sima a person from the Golden Dragon Kingdom?"

"No, that's not it. I don't even know what the Golden Dragon Kingdom is... By the way, do you guys know?"

Usopp shook his head. Chopper thought for a moment and then shook his head as well.

"The Golden Dragon Kingdom... seems to be a country that closed itself off from the world a hundred years ago, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving. But I've heard that its territory is quite vast, more like a continent than an island." Robin closed the book he was reading.

"and then?"

"They all have black hair and black eyes, and their face shapes are very similar to yours, and also to Zoro's. Also... it is said that the Empress of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is also from the Golden Dragon Kingdom, but there is no concrete evidence. In short... due to a century of isolation, they have become a very mysterious country."

This description reminded Sima Di of those Western TV series or movies, where whenever the East is mentioned, it's always a mysterious, powerful Eastern nation. Even one of the Ten Commandments of Deduction is "No Chinese characters allowed in the story"... This isn't discrimination, of course, but rather because in their eyes, Easterners are all skilled in martial arts or magical arts.

Sima Di continued to question Robin, but failed to extract any further useful information from her, not even her exact location.

"The Golden Dragon Kingdom..." Emperor Sima murmured, looking at the darkening sky outside the window.

If you have the chance, you should definitely go and see it.

Perhaps Rolando's logbook records the Golden Dragon Kingdom, not her own world. If that's the case, that would be wonderful. If not…

Emperor Sima could not imagine the consequences.

Oh, right! Speaking of which, what about the legendary "blank century of history"?

What happened during those hundred years...?

Furthermore, two years later, in Wano Country, there is the nation that possesses the power to write the "Poneglyphs." How similar Wano Country is to the Golden Dragon Country—both had been closed off from the world for a century.

What role does Wano Country play here?

Sima Di only knew up to the end of the Zou arc (when the Straw Hat crew split into several groups, and Luffy was going to Big Mom's tea party to rescue Sanji), and knew nothing about what happened after that.

The more I thought about it, the more questions arose, until I had a real headache.

Sima Di rubbed his temples.

Forget it, those things are beyond my ability to change on my own.

As the saying goes, "Where there's a will, there's a way," "When you reach the bridge, things will straighten," "When you see injustice, someone will help you," and "After the darkest hour comes the dawn."

I don’t want to think about it anymore. ...

-

It was already evening when we arrived here.

Emperor Sima looked at the brightly lit street with great emotion.

When they came here more than ten years ago, this street was very narrow, the kind where you could walk straight through to the end. They never imagined it would expand to such an extent, with four rows of small shops, and when you looked up, you couldn't see the end at all; all you could see was a surging crowd.

Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper had already rushed into the food court and were wreaking havoc, while Nami followed behind them, paying for everything with a headache. Sanji was having a good chat with a takoyaki vendor, while Zoro rushed into an izakaya (Japanese pub).

"It's such a headache. In the blink of an eye, they're all gone," Sima Di complained.
