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

"Imbuing with Spirit".

One of the two seashells spewed out raging flames, while the other spat out countless iron thorns...

The raging flames transformed into floating fire sprites, surveying their surroundings with golden pupils.

Countless iron thorns danced and intertwined, as agile as snakes, instantly covering the entire hull, looking from a distance like weeds clinging to the ship.

The divine sword at Sima Di's waist also sensed Sima Di's fighting spirit and flew out in a flash, protecting Sima Di's surroundings.

Emperor Sima was startled by the divine magic knife.

Nami looked over and said, "Wow, Sima Di, you can already imbue three spirits?"

Sima Di stared blankly at the divine magic blade floating in front of him without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Nami sensed something was amiss.

"I... can only imbue two objects with spirits..." Sima Di said.

In fact, judging from Sima Di's training speed, he should already be able to imbue five spirits. However, three of those spots were lost for some reason as they were permanently consumable, leaving Sima Di with only two spots remaining.

That fire spirit, and the iron thorn that served as its guardian.

"Two objects? Then what is that divine sword...?" Nami exclaimed in surprise.

Sima Di reached out, and the Divine Art Blade affectionately pressed against him. He gripped the hilt tightly with his other hand, and the Divine Art Blade hummed, transmitting a joyful signal to Sima Di.

"The tiny soul within has awakened... the true spirit of the Divine Blade," Sima Di said.

Sima Di cursed himself in his heart, calling himself an idiot.

If ship spirits can exist in this world, then how could sword spirits and blade spirits, which are often talked about, not exist as well?

Boom——

Sima Di snapped out of his shock at the sword spirit and looked toward the source of the sound.

"The first pillar has been successfully separated!"

The ship's Den Den Mushi emitted a naval voice.

"The first pillar includes CP9's Rob Lucci and Straw Hat Luffy!"

"The entire fleet has deployed around the Bridge of Hesitation, confirming that there are..."

"Ten pirates, including Zoro and Nico Robin! They are the main force of the pirate crew that defeated CP9 at the Tower of Justice! In addition to them, there is also a CP9 trainee member, Murasakibe! Judging from the current situation, he has already defected!"

113 Let's fight together!

The voice inside the Den Den Mushi was urgent, and the surrounding warships slowly gathered around.

Each of these warships summoned by the Buster Call was three to five times larger than the escort ship that Sima Di and his men were on.

Surrounded by these enormous creatures, the ship appeared exceptionally small.

Zoro and the others saw Luffy on one side of the bridge.

They shouted loudly.

Tell Luffy that all the crew members have arrived and that Robin is alright.

and so……

With us here, there's nothing to worry about.

Go for it, Luffy!

The moment Zibu saw Luffy, he was more excited than when he saw anyone else.

"Luffy! Go for it! Defeat him!"

Luffy looked completely bewildered, wondering who this guy was. But he seemed to be on our side, right?

Rob Lucci raised an eyebrow when he saw Zibu Sheng. He'd always felt there was something strange about this kid; sure enough, he was a rebellious soul.

“So now, it’s up to us to see how long we can hold out,” Zoro said.

Luffy couldn't hear what he was saying, but the people around him could hear it clearly.

-

Sima Di's side.

Sima looked up at the warship that had already approached.

"No officers below the rank of major are required to participate in combat! Send a 300-strong elite force composed of colonels and lieutenant colonels to achieve a swift and decisive victory!"

“Three hundred people…” Sima Di frowned. He remembered it being two hundred? What was with the three hundred? Was this some kind of special treatment for him and the Zibu students?

As soon as the order was given, countless naval lieutenant commanders and colonels jumped off the warships like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Presumably because there are more people here, only one-third of the navy is heading this way, while the rest are targeting Zoro and his crew.

“Even if there are four hundred people, I can stop them.” Sima Di’s eyes were sharp.

Since this is the butterfly effect he brought about, then he must have a way to break the butterfly's wings so that it can never fly again!

"A raging dance of thorns! A feast of fireballs! Enjoy!"

Following Sima Di's command, the iron spikes grew wildly, surging into the charging navy. With each swing of the iron spikes, countless screams of agony filled the air.

The fire spirit flew into the air and unleashed a barrage of fireballs. The marines hit by the fireballs could not bear the burning pain and jumped into the sea.

The falling fire rain struck the waving iron spikes, and the flames spread along them, turning into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

Sima Di single-handedly held off more than half of the navy, leaving only a small fraction for the other three. If it weren't for the size limitations of the spirit-enhanced creatures, those iron thorns could have stopped all the navy.

Nami stared at the scene in shock.

The weak Sima Di he had always remembered was actually such a powerful being? Had Sima Di become someone on par with Zoro and Sanji at some point?

"You pirates are unforgivable!"

A naval captain emerged from the inferno with only minor injuries.

The divine blade flew through at lightning speed, but the opponent dodged it.

Sima Di showed no surprise whatsoever. He had already noticed this person through the model map. His Observation Haki and Armament Haki were stronger than those of an average Marine, especially the former, which allowed him to arrive before Sima Di with only minor injuries.

"Finally, there's someone a little stronger. I thought your navy was all useless..." Sima Di revealed a wicked smile, as if he had been looking forward to it.

At the same time, the divine magic blade landed in his hand, radiating a chilling light.

Looking at Sima Di, who showed no fear, Nami suddenly felt that this Sima Di... was the real him.

"Seven-Starred Fierce Bird!"

Seven flashes of cold light streaked past, bringing with them six blades of flying blood.

The swirling blood, appearing and disappearing, somehow formed the shape of a fierce bird spreading its wings.

Sima Di watched as the naval captain collapsed in front of him, his expression unchanged.

If we disregard Devil Fruit abilities and only consider strength and Haki, Sima Di is already at the level of a Marine Commodore (though he relies more on Haki). Dealing with these lieutenant colonels and colonels would be effortless for him.

After the energy in the Flame Shell was exhausted, Sima Di took out the Wind Shell. The naval confrontation suddenly changed from fire to the invisible wind.

Sima Di's side of a hundred men was quickly dealt with, leaving only twenty or thirty hesitant to make a move.

"Damn it! Those cunning pirates! Fire! Sink this ship!"

The naval commander issued the order to fire.

At this moment, the expressions of the remaining naval captains and lieutenant commanders on the ship changed instantly.

"Sir! We're still on the ship!"

"Don't fire, sir!"

"We don't want to die!"

Sima Di scoffed dismissively, "If you can't beat them, you resort to using a demolition office!"

Sima Di immediately maneuvered the iron spikes to change direction, protecting the entire ship. This deflected all the cannonballs aimed at the ship, some even bouncing off and hitting naval vessels.

But the navy did not give up and even brought the ship directly close.

All the naval personnel on the ship, regardless of whether they were lieutenant commanders or higher, rushed down the ship.

"Is the demolition office planning to use a human wave next?" Sima Di was angry, but helpless. He canceled the Fire Spirit's enchantment and replaced it with Ah Yin.

Gintoki transformed into a harpy eagle and let out a cry, carrying the immobilized Chopper, Kokoro, and the others on her back.

"Nami! Robin! Franky! Let's go!" Sima Di shouted.

"But Sima Di... what will we do without a ship?" Nami asked anxiously.

"Don't worry! Someone will come to pick us up!"

"Someone?"

"Trust me!" Sima Di said.

077

Nami had no choice but to nod and fight her way back with the others.
