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

"Let's go take a look." Sima Di had a bad feeling.

Upon approaching, Usopp squeezed forward. Seeing the dead body, Usopp was shocked and hurriedly pushed his way back through the crowd.

"Emperor Sima! Emperor Sima! Something terrible has happened!"

"what happened?"

"That person...that person is your uncle!"

"What! Who is it?"

"It's the person who asked me to give you the things yesterday."

"you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure, he looks so distinctive, you can recognize him at a glance!"

Sima Di clenched his fists and, together with Ah Yin, bypassed the crowd and squeezed forward.

It's him!

Yes, it was him!

He was also one of the thirteen, the master of deduction, Bruce!

Bruce's appearance is very similar to Brook's when he was still in human form, and even their names are similar.

However, Bruce rose to fame much earlier than Brooke, and many of his mystery novels became classics. Sima Di greatly admired his work and was a fan.

However, Sima Di originally sent the invitation to the Death Game to the president of Bruce's Detective Club, but the president thought the invitation was a mystery and gave it to Bruce instead. Bruce himself wanted to find out, so he came to the nameless island.

When Sima Di met the other party, he was greatly surprised and almost couldn't contain his excitement and told him everything.

"How is this possible..." Sima Di's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Sima Di! Are you alright?" Usopp rushed forward, trying to help her up.

Others noticed Sima Di's unusual behavior and went up to ask him about it.

"Young lady, do you know this person?"

“He is…” Usopp was about to speak when Sima Di interrupted him.

"I...no, I don't know him. You must be joking. How could I, a blind man, see him?" Sima Di suppressed his shock and sorrow.

The man looked and indeed saw the gauze covering Sima Di's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see it. Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I think I just have low blood sugar, I'll feel better in a bit."

"The tsunami is coming soon. Since it's so inconvenient for you, you'd better take shelter as soon as possible..."

"I understand... thank you." Sima Di barely managed to get up, then pulled Usopp away.

Usopp had doubts, but he didn't dare to ask until they were back on the Going Merry, at which point he finally spoke.

"Emperor Sima..."

“He’s not my uncle, he’s a friend of mine,” Sima Di explained first. “What he gave me wasn’t a souvenir, but a medium that can store information. I don’t know what happened to him, but the information he risked his life for must be extremely important…”

Sima Di clutched his chest tightly, struggling to breathe, tears streaming through the gauze and falling to the ground.

"What information could possibly make him willing to risk his life for it...?"

"Isn't there any way to check that information?" Usopp asked.

Sima Di shook his head. "As far as I know, there is nothing that can examine it... However, since this thing exists, it proves that there must be an instrument to examine it."

"Your friend's remains..."

"No, I can't go. Those who killed him must still be in Seven Waters City. If I go to collect his body, they will definitely come looking for me."

"Isn't it perfect that they've come knocking on our door! Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji are all here..."

“We can’t beat them. They’re an organization, and I know a little about them. The most important thing now is to check what’s inside. Since he said I’d know what to do, then this island must have some clues.”

"Sima Di, are you planning to go to the island to look for it? Then I'll go with you!" Usopp put down all his repair tools and prepared to go with Sima Di.

"No need, it's just looking for clues, there won't be any danger. Even if there is, my Observation Haki will help me avoid it in advance. Besides... I don't need you to worry about me anymore."

Sima Di reached out and removed the gauze from his face, his dark eyes bright as stars, resolute and... filled with hatred.

86 Generation 1 to Generation 10

Sima Di returned to the place where Bruce was found, where people were carrying his body onto a stretcher, preparing to place it in the city's morgue.

At this point, Ah Yin had already accomplished her mission and retired, transforming into a small bird-shaped ornament lying in Sima Di's pocket.

Returning to the scene, they indeed found something.

Sima Di looked up and saw a thin man glance at them from afar before quickly leaving.

Sima Di could sense that this person was not a kind person, because he gave him the same feeling as Machinaga and the others, only his hostility was not as strong as theirs.

As they proceeded along the rugged road, Sima Di hung behind this man, neither too close nor too far.

After following for a while, Sima Di suddenly found that only the skinny man in front of him remained in his sight. There was no one else around, only the howling wind.

Emperor Sima smiled slightly, already understanding the situation.

Sure enough, the skinny man disappeared completely around the next corner.

Without a second thought, Emperor Sima drew his divine magic sword and blocked upwards.

Clang

The sound of weapons clashing.

Seeing that his attack had missed, the skinny man quickly created distance.

Sima Di only then got a clear look at the thin man. He had transformed into a cat-man at some point, revealing fangs and claws. The claws were so sharp that they could rival swords and blades.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" the skinny man asked, sizing up Sima Di with his small eyes, a calculating glint in his eyes.

"That's the question I should be asking you. What are your relationships with the Spades?" Sima Di asked sternly.

"Spade? I'm sorry, I don't know anyone with that name." The skinny man pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Young Master, I think you've got the wrong person."

The skinny man's "authentic" behavior would make most people wonder if they've followed the wrong person, unless Sima Di possessed the ability to discern lies.

"You don't even recognize Bruce, whom you killed?" Sima Di said in a deep voice, his voice barely concealing his anger.

“Bruce?” The skinny man’s eyes widened, and he grinned. “So you’re that traitor’s contact. No wonder we searched the whole city and couldn’t find that thing! Hand it over, and I’ll spare your life!”

"So it was you who killed Mr. Bruce! Prepare to pay with your life!" Sima Di charged forward, sword in hand.

The skinny man sprang up instantly, dodging Sima Di's attack, and at the same time extended his several-inch-long claws to strike Sima Di.

Sima Di ducked to avoid it, and the divine magic blade stuck into the ground. Sima Di then twisted his body, using the blade as a pivot point.

"Spin kick!"

The skinny guy didn't react in time and was kicked hard against the wall.

This is a kicking technique I learned from Sanji. It only has a few very simple moves, but it's enough for combat.

However, Sima Di's attack was not very strong, and the skinny man only paused slightly before continuing his attack.

The two immediately engaged in combat.

The skinny man has speed, and Emperor Sima has foresight.

After several rounds, neither side could gain the upper hand.

The sky grew even darker, and although it was only two in the afternoon, it felt like dusk.

Emperor Sima gritted his teeth inwardly.

How can this guy move so fast?

Flash Star, who dodges attacks and launches counterattacks, can't hit him; Wandering Star, who blocks attacks and launches counterattacks, can't hit him either; and the Triangle Seal can't stop his movements. Instead, this guy seizes an opening and launches a counterattack. If Sima Di hadn't dodged quickly, his face would probably be ruined.

Want to try that trick?

Sima Di gripped the divine magic knife tightly.

The triangular blockade is just the most basic move combined with foresight. The opponent cannot dodge it, but as long as they can defend against it, they can turn danger into safety.

This move combines the fields of prediction and modeling. Once unleashed, the opponent not only cannot dodge, but even if they try to block, they will be struck in the next attack. This move is virtually guaranteed to hit.

Sima Di once used this move to spar with Zoro. Although the difference in strength was huge, Sima Di did manage to injure him.

However, he had just learned this trick and wasn't very proficient at it yet.

"A riot of colors!"

The skinny man lunged forward, his claws striking out rapidly. In a short time, he unleashed a hundred claw strikes.

But Emperor Sima was no pushover either.

The clanging sounds continued as Sima Di parried all the attacks, only to be struck once, leaving three long, bloody gashes on his left arm.

Sima Di's expression darkened, and he decided to test this move in actual combat.

"It is impolite not to reciprocate!" Sima Di's eyes sharpened, and he slashed out with his sword, "Seven-Star Fierce Sparrow!"
