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

"Sima Di! I came here after hearing your cries for help! How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Do you need a loving hug?"

Sanji practically flew to Sima Di in a waltz, and just as he was about to open his arms to embrace him, his right hand was firmly grasped by someone.

Zi Busheng's eyes sparkled.

"Lord Sanji! We meet again! It feels like ages since we parted on the train! I never expected to see your amazing kicking skills again!"

"Ah...it's you."

Sanji vaguely recognized this person.

When Sanji first encountered this purple-haired guy on the train, he thought another fight was inevitable. But instead, the guy came over and shook his hand, beaming with excitement. Then, he enthusiastically led Sanji around, making Sanji wonder if the guy had some kind of premeditated plan.

"That was that just now... Demon Wind Kick! By using high-speed rotation, the foot generates high temperature and turns crimson red, making the kick even faster. It even chars the enemy's bones. Its power is as strong as a demon! Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation!"

Zi Busheng spoke at a rapid-fire pace, impossible to stop. Sima Di sighed, inwardly cursing him as an idiot.

This is the first appearance of Diable Jambe; apart from Sanji himself, no one else knows about it.

Sure enough, as soon as Murasaki finished speaking, Sanji realized something was wrong.

"I've never told anyone about the Demonic Wind Kick, how did you find out?"

"Me?" Zi Busheng paused only slightly before looking at Sima Di as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Sima Di told me. She said she had seen you practice such amazing kicking techniques! She herself is also very much looking forward to it!"

Emperor Sima was taken aback.

Is this guy's behavior really that natural? He switched from addressing her as "Red Heart" to "Sima Emperor" without any pause, and then casually pushed all the blame onto her?

And... when did she ever see Sanji practice Diable Jambe?! The only times she ever thought of Sanji were when he was thirsty or hungry!

“Emperor Sima…” Sanji called out.

“Uh…yes…” Sima Di answered weakly.

"Wow, so you care about me that much! I'll definitely become stronger for Sima Di!" Sanji exclaimed, deeply moved. "But next time Sima Di wants to watch me practice, he doesn't have to sneak behind the door anymore! He can watch openly! He can watch however he wants! Of course, it would be even better if he wore a cheerleader uniform!"

Although Sima Di really wanted to curse "that damn cheerleader outfit," she had to cover for this loose-tongued guy.

"Ah...okay..." Sima Di said without any confidence.

"Damn cheerleader outfit! You perverted kappa! Can't you put something healthy and positive in your head all day?" Zoro's rant perfectly captured what Sima Di was thinking.

Sima Di mentally gave Zoro a huge thumbs up. Zoro, your master! Well done!

"Huh? Green algae head? What did you say? Don't you want to see Sima Di wearing a light pink cheerleader outfit?" Sanji said.

Sima Di raised an eyebrow.

Light pink? Why don't you just say I'm wearing rainbow colors? Zoro's master! Give him a piece of your mind!

However, Zoro paused strangely after hearing Sanji's words, then shouted, "Who cares!"

“Hey you…you hesitated for a moment just now, right? So you are actually…” Sanji gave a “friendly” smile.

"It's not what you think! She wears a sports bra in front of me every day! I've had enough, okay? She should go wear her workout clothes!" Zoro shouted, a suspicious blush on his face.

Sima Di, who was just feeling a little embarrassed, suddenly turned as black as a supersonic plane at its maximum speed. Thousands of "heh heh"s flashed through his mind, and he didn't even notice Zoro's fleeting expression.

"What training clothes? They can't even compare to cheerleader outfits! I don't think you'll ever understand this feeling. You should just go back to practicing your kendo!" Sanji walked up to Zoro with the air of a hoodlum.

110, accept the facts.

"Ah, you're right! So you, you lousy cook, should just focus on cooking!" Zoro retorted.

"You want to fight?" Sanji assumed a fighting stance.

"Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking." Zoro used his thumb to push the sword at his waist aside slightly.

"Here we go again..." Sima Di saw that the two of them were fighting again for some strange reason (or rather, for no reason at all).

Although Zoro said something unforgivable! But Sima Di felt that this was not the time to waste time here. Soon, this underground passage would collapse, and the water would naturally engulf the second underground level as well.

Just as Sima Di was about to take some action, he felt a dark shadow flash past him.

"Ahhh! It's a real person! Zoro-sama!"

Zoro stared blankly at the guy who had rushed over, who was actually observing him intently.

That's right, it was observation. And it was from top to bottom.

Be serious and meticulous.

If eyeballs could be gouged out, Zoro believed this guy would definitely stick one eyeball to himself and the other to his sword.

"Ahhh! 073 This must be the legendary Wado Ichimonji! And this is the so-called cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu! And this is Yubashiri! Ahhh! What a pity! Yubashiri! But before it's destroyed, Zoro-sama! Can I open it and take a look... Hey! Heart! You! Don't pull me! I still need to have a telepathic conversation with Usopp-sama! Let go!"

“If you keep talking like that, I’ll tell everyone to ignore you. Not even an autograph!” Sima Di warned, turning around.

Zi Busheng wanted to say something more, but when he looked up, he saw Sima Di's somewhat distorted smiling face and obediently shut his mouth.

The three watched as Zi Busheng was dragged away by the collar by Sima Di, whose face was gloomy.

"What are you all standing there for? Are you planning to live underground? Get out of here!" Sima Di shouted back angrily.

Sanji whispered, "Mosshead, you've angered Sima. I'll make you pay after we save Robin."

Zoro also lowered his voice unconsciously, "Who cares... I didn't do anything to her."

Usopp watched the two interacting, sighed, and then uttered the following remark.

Emperor Sima was so pitiful...

As soon as Sima Di and the others returned to the underwater tunnel, they encountered Nami and her friends rushing towards them. Chopper, who had fallen unconscious due to the side effects of the Rumble Ball, was tied to Granny Kokoro's head.

"Sima Di! It's so good to see you're alright!" Nami was relieved to see Sima Di looking only a little disheveled.

When she "heard" Sima Di's cries for help, she grabbed Granny Kokoro and the others and rushed back. However, they hadn't run far when they heard the sound of water behind them.

"Well, thanks to these three, I'm safe and sound," Sima Di said with a smile.

At this moment, Sima Di's face showed no trace of the anger she had just displayed, and even Zi Busheng, who was standing next to her, had to marvel at how quickly a woman could change her expression.

In truth, Sima Di was genuinely grateful for their timely arrival and for hearing her voice. As for what Zoro said, she merely listened and then let it go. However…

She must eat lots of papaya and drink lots of milk when she gets back!

"Stop laughing! Run!" Nami yelled.

The sound of the sea was getting closer.

Everyone could clearly see the waves behind Nami and the others.

Usopp's expression changed. "Nami and the others are being chased by the water! This passage is about to be flooded! What do we do?!"

The path behind them had collapsed and been destroyed when Zoro and the others came down. The underground tunnel, including the walls connecting it, was made of special materials that even Zoro couldn't break through.

"What should we do?" Usopp anxiously ran around the group in circles.

"Let's just leave it as is," Sima Di said, then took a deep breath.

At the same time, Zibu Sheng also did the same thing.

Sanji and Zoro were taken aback by their actions, but neither of them seemed nervous at all. They exchanged a glance and then held their breath simultaneously.

Usopp stopped running and looked at the four people strangely. Why were they so calm? Could it be...? Did they have some other plan? Ahhh, whatever!

Usopp steeled himself and, like the others, held his breath.

"Are you all idiots? Why..."

Nami's remaining words were swallowed up by the surging sea current.

Mermaids...

A race so legendary and dreamlike that almost everyone yearns for them.

If they could, they would rather be tied to a pillar like Odysseus and go mad just to see a mermaid and hear the song of the Sirens.

only……

Sima Di and Zi Busheng both tried to restrain themselves, but in the end, they were defeated by their own curiosity.

As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat. Even more so when they opened their eyes at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

I'm sorry, although I didn't mean to slander her, but... Grandma Kokoro is just too different from what I imagined...

Robin and Franky are on one side.
