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

“There’s another one here,” Robin said, pointing to himself.

"Only Sister Robin is by my side now..." Sima Di sighed.

"First mate, don't be so discouraged. Isn't it great to have delicious food in front of you?" Robin said.

Robin addressed everyone by their title.

“It’s good, but I always have this feeling that I have to do something,” Sima Di said.

It's a hard feeling to describe; it's like when you leave home, you always feel like you've left something behind, but you just can't remember what it is...

"So what are you going to do? Like... visit the graves?" Robin tentatively asked.

"Tomb sweeping?" Sima Di had a sudden realization. "Yes! It's about going to sweep tombs! I finally know what this feeling means... and this feeling tells me that I absolutely have to go sweep tombs now."

"Going to sweep the graves now? You have a really strange feeling about this..." Robin said.

Sima Di herself felt a little embarrassed. Going to sweep tombs in the middle of the night was either crazy or had ulterior motives, and she clearly categorized herself as the former.

"Sister Robin, um..." Sima Di said hesitantly.

"Are you scared?" Robin laughed.

Sima Di nodded. She wasn't afraid of corpses, but she was afraid of those ethereal ghosts and monsters.

"Let's go together."

"Thank you so much, Sister Robin!"

-

Instead, the two arrived at a desolate and remote place in the food town.

This is a cemetery, but it's not very large. Because the custom here is to cremate the dead and scatter the ashes at sea, very few people are buried in the ground.

The tomb keeper was an elderly man. Emperor Sima visited his friend's tomb, citing time constraints and the need to leave the next day.

"In that case, I will take you there. But don't stay here too long, as this is not a good place."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir," Sima Di said.

"Who is the friend you want to visit? 1.0" The old man's voice was hoarse.

"Sima Di." After Sima Di finished speaking, he wrote RINSHI on the paper.

Robin glanced at Sima Di with surprise, but said nothing.

The old man picked up the name and examined it carefully. "Oh, I do remember this name."

"how?"

“It’s strange, really. This is a cenotaph, but the young man who arranged it bought the biggest and best plot of land here. Look, that slope up there, facing the sea, that’s the tomb of this man named Sima Di,” the old man pointed out to them. At this point, the old man seemed to remember something, adjusted his glasses, and squinted at Sima Di. “Speaking of which, what are your relationship to her?”

"I am Emperor Sima's niece, and this lady beside me is a friend who is accompanying me," Emperor Sima explained.

Hearing this explanation, the old man nodded.

76 History always repeats itself.

"So they're aunt and niece, no wonder they look so alike... Alright, alright, you two hurry back. Remember, don't linger there too long."

"Thank you, old man."

By the bright moonlight, the two could clearly see the marble tombstone, which was about half a person's height, in front of them.

The tombstone stands atop the cliff, offering a breathtaking view of the sea. However, the height is somewhat dizzying. Sima Di, meanwhile, is reminded of his past "suicide attempt."

Their gazes fell on the tombstone, where a photograph of Emperor Sima was displayed, though the photograph was yellowed and looked quite old.

The name on the tombstone is first "RINSHI", and next to it is a small line of "Sima Di".

The last line of the tombstone reads: "Erected by Trafalgar Law, a dear friend."

"A close friend..."

Emperor Sima bent down and saw that the word "close friend" seemed to have been changed; it wasn't originally written like that.

So what was originally engraved here?

“Trafalgar Law, captain of the Heart Pirates. A newly rising pirate crew, I've heard they're quite strong,” Robin said. “If I remember correctly, the poster behind your door is his.”

Sima Di's hand froze, and his face flushed red.

"Hey hey hey? Sister Robin, you...you saw it..."

"I found out about this while chatting with Nami. She said you had someone you liked, so to verify it, I kept an eye on what was behind your door when I was looking for you," Robin said with a smile.

"Nami is really something..." Sima Di complained.

“But now, can you explain your friend Sima Di’s tombstone? Judging from its appearance, it’s been there for at least ten years.” Robin looked at Sima Di.

"I didn't intend to hide anything from you since I asked you to come with me. It's just... a bit complicated to explain. I don't know if you've ever heard of time travel..."

Sima Di's explanation was naturally only about his time travel to more than ten years ago in the small garden, and his eventual return to the present by chance. He did not mention anything about the Time Fruit or the Space Fruit.

Robin stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, "The situation you described isn't unprecedented. The rainbow mist on Luluga Island was once suspected to be caused by a time distortion. If it were possible, I really want to travel back to that void century and see for myself what really happened..."

“I believe what happened during that period would not have pleased you, otherwise it wouldn’t have been deliberately covered up,” Sima Di said.

“That’s true… but pursuing history is my dream, just like you want to become the world’s number one writer.”

“Haha, that’s right. If it’s for a dream, any sacrifice is worthwhile,” Sima Di said. “Now that we’ve seen our own tombstone, I think we can go back now…”

"Wait, I still feel something is strange."

"what happened?"

“Nami said that she found your Trafalgar Law poster shortly after you arrived on the Grand Line, and your time travel happened in Little Garden… I just can’t imagine that you’re the kind of person who would fall in love with someone based on a single wanted poster. Besides, Trafalgar Law isn’t exactly known for his good looks… Could something have happened?” Robin asked.

"How can you be so sure I'm not that kind of superficial person? Or that I didn't fall in love at first sight?" Sima Di asked with a smile.

"It's not a conclusion, but a feeling. After spending time with you, I feel that you are someone who believes more in the idea that feelings can grow over time, and your way of handling things in daily life also gives me that feeling."

"Your intuition is really sharp... I knew I shouldn't have brought you along," Sima Di sighed.

“But it’s too late, isn’t it?” Robin said with a smile. “Besides, you yourself said that you didn’t intend to hide anything from me when you asked me to come with you… But it’s not too late to regret it now.”

“There’s nothing to regret, I trust you.” Sima Di said this without hesitation.

"This kind of unfounded trust puts a lot of pressure on me."

"You have to withstand the pressure and listen to what I have to say. I feel like if I don't say these things sooner or later, I'll go crazy."

"In that case, I'm all ears."

Sima Di thought for a moment and said, "...You're right, I'm not someone who believes in love at first sight. Something did happen. I was once imprisoned in a mental hospital for some reason, and during that time I tried every possible way to escape. One night, someone suddenly appeared in front of me and said he would take me away from here. I was overjoyed. So I went with him... However, just as we were about to leave the mental hospital, we were discovered..."

At this point, Sima Di paused, as if he hesitated.

"That person is Trafalgar Law, isn't he?"

"Yes...it's him..."

"What happened next?"

Sima Di looked at Robin with a wry smile, "You might not believe it, but even I can't believe it myself."

"tell me the story."

"The people who came to arrest me were the so-called attending physician and some strong nurses and caregivers, but none of them could see him standing next to me. While I was still in shock, he disappeared without warning. Even now, when I think about what happened back then, I think I was really crazy."

What she said was true. At that time, Sima Di was imprisoned in an asylum by his steward under the pretext of training.

Sima Di initially only had a fondness for the character Trafalgar Law, which he kept piled up on his bedside table like other pirated figurines in his home. It was only after this incident that Sima Di came to regard Trafalgar Law as an indispensable part of his life, even enshrining his posters.

However, miracles don't happen, and Sima Di came to this conclusion after waiting anxiously for two months. By then, Sima Di also clearly realized that the other party was just a virtual character who could never come to save her, and that everything was just a figment of her imagination... This conclusion plunged her into true despair.

Only then did she decide to end this madness on her own.

After Sima Di finished speaking, Robin paused for a moment before speaking.

"There are only two explanations for this situation. First, you've been in the mental hospital for too long, and the influence of other patients or some medication has caused you to hallucinate."

77 The way he wanted it

Sima Di nodded. "That's quite possible, because I did see Luo's previous wanted posters before, so it's plausible that I would have such a hallucination. I think so myself. So... what's the second one?"

"Secondly... he also time-traveled! It's just that his method was different from yours. His time travel was not only very short, but only you could see it."

Upon hearing this explanation, Emperor Sima suddenly realized the truth.

Sima Di had never considered such a possibility before, but it did exist, and its probability was comparable to that of the first scenario.

But... if the second interpretation is true, then does that mean Trafalgar Law once visited her world?

Based on the information Sima Di obtained from Rolando's logbook (which assumes Rolando did not arrive at the Golden Dragon Kingdom but at the actual Ming Dynasty), a terrifying conclusion can be drawn.

The world he lives in is just as real as the world he inhabits.

"So... why did Oda write this story more than ten years ago?" Sima Di murmured in shock.

Robin watched as Sima Di, who was muttering to himself, turned somewhat pale.

"What...are you thinking about? What about more than ten years ago?"
