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

Although it couldn't compare to the dazzling array of attacks from the skinny guy, Sima Di's seven strikes in an instant blocked all of his opponent's escape routes, and even took into account his opponent's reaction after resisting the attack.

The skinny man flew backward, blood splattering everywhere, with four knife wounds on his body, one of which... was the last, so deep that the bone was visible.

When Zoro was training with him, Sima Di used this move before. Zoro dodged three attacks, blocked three attacks, and blocked the last one with his sword, but he was still a step too late, and a cut appeared on his arm.

Even Zoro couldn't completely block the attack, so this guy is even less likely to be able to.

Sima Di walked over and placed the cold, magical sword against the skinny man's neck.

The skinny man transformed back into human form and looked at him in fear.

For some reason, the skinny man saw the same look in Sima Di's eyes as his master, which sent chills down his spine.

"Let me explain."

"Confess...confess what?"

"What exactly is Spade calculating? What are you doing here? And what's the deal with Bruce?!"

The skinny man was startled by Sima Di's sudden shout, and his eyes became even more timid.

"I...I..." The skinny man trembled all over. "You, you should just kill me. I can't say. If I do, even death will become a luxury for me. Since you know Spades, you should know how cruel those big shots are."

"Oh? Is that so? How many adults do you have now?"

"Ten...ten people."

"Ten?" Sima Di frowned. "From the first generation to the tenth generation?"

"No, no. It's from the first generation to the eleventh generation. The tenth generation is missing," the skinny man said honestly.

Emperor Sima could tell that he was telling the truth.

"The eleventh generation... what is his name?" Sima Di asked.

“His…his name is Alan,” the skinny man said hesitantly.

Emperor Sima narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that the statement was a lie.

"What Yalan? I think his name is Dongyi!"

Sima Di pushed the blade forward a little, cutting his skin, and drops of blood fell to the ground along the blade.

"How...how did you know?" The skinny man was genuinely panicked this time.

The names of the successive Spade Lords are never easily revealed; even the people of Spade Island refer to them as "Several Generation Lords." The skinny guy currently only knows his master's name and the name of the eleventh generation who was on good terms with his master.

"I know more than you think... Tell me, why are you here? What is Spade plotting? My patience is running out, don't push me."

87 That's a really big spender!

"Okay, okay, okay... I'll tell you everything, I'll tell you everything." The skinny man conceded.

“We came here just to catch Bruce; he stole something that was just as important to us. He resisted fiercely, hid the item somewhere, and then committed suicide. We're really troubled by this.”

"and then?"

"And that's it..." The skinny man looked innocently at Sima Di.

Sima Di could tell that the second half of his statement was true; Bruce had indeed died by suicide. However… the first half was utter nonsense.

"What is that thing? What's inside?"

"The contents? No, we don't know. We lowly ones were just ordered to hunt down Bruce and retrieve the items. We know nothing else."

Lies, all lies!

"It seems you still don't intend to tell the truth," Sima Di said coldly.

"I...I'm telling the truth!" the skinny man cried out.

“I know what you’re afraid of… but unfortunately, the person standing in front of you is the tenth generation. His methods are no less than any of the previous generations.” Sima Di revealed a sly smile.

"The tenth generation! You're the tenth generation!" The skinny man stared at the person in front of him in disbelief. "You're the one called the tenth generation Heart? No, no, that's impossible. How could the tenth generation Heart be someone like you?"

"Why not? The eighth generation is still a little girl." Sima Di took out a seashell from his pocket. "Looks like you're not going to talk about it, so don't blame me for being ruthless... Spirit Empowerment!"

The skinny man watched as the judge tossed the seashell into the air, from which emerged a dense thicket of iron thorns that blotted out the sky. These iron thorns, as nimble as snakes, bound the skinny man tightly in the blink of an eye.

“Listen, answer whatever I ask you. If you lie or don’t answer, they will tighten up. Understand?”

As Sima Di finished speaking, the iron thorns tightened suddenly, and blood immediately seeped out. The skinny man's screams disappeared into the raging wind.

-

Half an hour later.

The skinny man lay on the ground, covered in blood, barely alive.

"Please...please, kill me."

His voice was very soft; it was almost inaudible unless you listened very carefully.

"Since you've been so obedient, I'll let you rest in peace." Sima Di smiled and brought his sword down.

Blood flew and his head fell; the skinny man was no more.

Sima Di also admired this skinny man named Devins. Even when the iron thorns shrank to the bone, he still wouldn't tell the truth. Sima Di had no choice but to let the iron thorns slowly burrow into his skin from the sole of his foot, into his bone... Only then did Devins reveal the truth.

"come back."

At Sima Di's command, the iron thorns suddenly contracted, retracting completely into the shell, and then hopped down into Sima Di's palm.

Sima Di ignored his body, because if the tsunami could bring Bruce's body to the public eye, it could also take Devins' body back to the depths of the sea.

Emperor Sima then rushed to the 101st dock in the City of Seven Waters.

Do you remember Hag Island? Do you remember the cannibal trio who survived to the end, besides Jack?

Devins was one of them, and his master was none other than Lucas, the third-generation king of killers.

Besides Devins, there were also his older brother Gellman and his older sister Ella, who were sworn siblings. Adding Bruce, the four of them were there guarding something.

However, Devins had no idea what this thing was, and Sima Di was also completely clueless.

According to Devins, these items were originally destined for Enies Lobby, where they would then serve as a transit point before being transported to Spade Island. However, for some reason, the items are currently stuck in Water Seven, with the plan to ship them to Spade Island in a few days.

Sima Di knew why. Because soon the Straw Hat crew would wreak havoc on Enies Lobby, and Enies Lobby would ultimately be destroyed by the Buster Call. If anything was still on Enies Lobby, it would naturally be destroyed along with it.

The fact that Spade was able to park its items on Enies Lobby suggests it must have some connection with the Navy.

But Sima Di was not surprised, because the Spade Organization in the original world also had connections with the local government; otherwise, even a private island would not allow them to act so recklessly.

As for Bruce, they received their orders after arriving in Water Seven.

They claimed that they discovered Bruce had copied something important while on Spade Island (although they didn't know what copying meant), and that they had to retrieve it and eliminate him.

Sima Di asked him what this thing was. Devins could only answer that it was something very important, concerning the fate of spades.

This statement piqued Sima Di's curiosity; it seemed he had to go check out Shipyard 101. Because Devins had mentioned that along with those things was a strange black box. The black box displayed several images—scenes of the area around the shipyard. They used those images to monitor the surrounding area.

"Computers and monitors? They're really interesting."

Sima Di used his ability to sense several targets that were clearly green but were moving.

That's right, those are the surveillance cameras distributed around the dock.

Using his abilities, Sima Di evaded all surveillance cameras and arrived at Dock 101.

Emperor Sima hid behind a cover, not daring to make any rash moves.

At the dock entrance, Sima Di sensed a woman and a burly man guarding the gate. They seemed to be talking to each other, but he couldn't make out what they were saying.

Although Sima Di could sense the changes in their lip movements, unfortunately... he couldn't read lips.

After a while, the two left together.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have guessed that they had gone to see their third brother, Devins. But Sima Di saw through the deception.

Sima Di walked into the dock without any hesitation, and the spirit-enhanced iron shell jumped out of Sima Di's pocket and quickly stuck to the inside of the door.

"That's quite a generous gesture..."

Upon entering the dock, the first thing Sima Di saw was a box over ten meters tall. He didn't know what the box was made of, but it was probably a more durable material than iron, similar to, or even more durable than, the material of safes in the modern world.

Sima Di walked around the box, but didn't see any lock or keyhole, not even a card swipe or password input interface.

"In that case, it seems there's another way to open this box..."

Sima Di turned his head again and saw a black box on the other side. It looked like a laptop, and the computer's display showed the surveillance cameras.

"I almost forgot, computers can also control the switch."

Just as Sima Di was about to walk towards the computer, a loud shout rang out.

"That's it! If you want to know any more secrets, you'll have to go to hell!"

88 escaped.

Sima Di smiled and looked at the two people standing at the door.
