"Watch your step..." As Luffy's older brother, Ace led Luffy in front.
"Ace..." Luffy grabbed his adopted brother's hand and followed him step by step.
The two walked carefully through the streets filled with severed limbs and remains. Although they did not step on the corpses, their shoes were stained with blood.
The smell of blood in the air was so strong and the smell of rust was so solemn, making the two young men feel very heavy.
Ace couldn't help but said: "Well, there's no need to kill them all..."
"Oh?" Esdeath turned around and glanced at him, "Do you have the means to control them?"
"without……"
"Do you have a way to make them unconscious for a whole day?"
"without……"
"Were they also the accomplices of the princes and nobles in last year's fire?"
"yes……"
"Do you think we should be more merciful to them?"
Ace and Luffy were speechless and could only remain silent.
"This world is a world where the jungle prevails. The dead have no words to speak, and the losers keep their mouths shut!"
Even though Esdeath came to this world and changed a lot of her personality because of Eric, the blood of wanting to fight is still flowing through her body. She still wants to continue fighting and fight with stronger people!
Even in order to fight to her heart's content, she cultivates opponents who can make her feel happy in battle. And these two young men have very good qualifications. She has a feeling that the two of them will definitely become excellent combat opponents in the future.
'Grow up quickly and fight me again then! ' Esdeath walked in front, and when the two teenagers couldn't see her, she showed an extremely excited and dangerous smile.
…
"What? The army that went to capture the invaders at the south gate of Gao Town were all wiped out?!" The old king was stunned, "Who did it? How many people came?!"
"Hi!" The king's attendant saluted: "I got news that the last soldier reported before his death that the visitor was 'Ice Queen' Esdeath!"
"!" The old king suddenly lost his composure, "Is it the pirate who brutally tortured Charmako?"
"yes!"
"Is it Esdeath who killed a large number of kings and nobles of the Allied Powers in a human trafficking shop?"
"yes!!"
The second confirmation from the attendant made the old king slump in his chair.
'No, you have to run away quickly! 'This idea filled the old king's mind. Even the nobles of the world dared to kill him. She completely dared to kill another king of the ally!
"Your Majesty the King?" The attendant cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Are we going to summon all the troops from across the country to attack Esdeath? After all, she is alone now..."
"Yes! Yes!" The old king woke up instantly, "Order all the troops to stop Esdeath!"
While the attendant went to convey the order, the king was ordering the maid to pack her bags quickly and bring enough treasures with her.
"Your Majesty the King? Your Majesty the King?"
The attendant who returned was looking for the old king in a panic, "Your Majesty, where are you going? It's snowing outside..."
"hurry up!"
"Pa" the king slapped a maid down.
"What are you doing here?! Find me a coat quickly!"
From a dark corner, a sentence came out: "No need to wear a coat, this 'merciful' king."
"Who is it?" Several attendants immediately stepped forward and stood in front of the king.
Black shadows are slowly rising from the ground, transforming from monotonous black to purple.
"Scathach, come and take your lives!"
"!" The king was instantly frightened and fell to the ground, dragging him backwards. "Where are the guards? Where are the guards of the palace?! Why can't there be so many guards to stop a person who sneaked into the palace?!"
"Ah!" the squire yelled, rushing towards Scathach.
"Too slow." The purple figure passed through several attendants, and the red light flashed a few times. The attendants who maintained their original sprinting posture fell to the ground one after another.
"!" The old king grabbed the right hand of the attendant who helped him up, pushed him towards Scathach, turned around and ran towards the door.
"Oh? I didn't know that someone so old would have such great strength." Scathach said whether it was a compliment or a sarcastic comment, and shot away the flying people.
"Certainly!"
The running old king's body was immediately nailed to the spot, and the law of inertia did not apply at all at this time.
'The movements of the real body will cause changes in the shadow, and in turn, the shadow can be used to control the movements of the real body. What Eric said is indeed true. If the ability of the shadow fruit is used well, the actual combat improvement will be huge. '
The old king roared: "What kind of magic is this? Let me go!"
Then he turned to humble begging for mercy: "Please let me go, you can take away anything here as long as you like..."
"Normally, as the leader of a country, he cannot lead the civilians under his rule to live a happy life. He just becomes a vampire lying on the people and sucking blood. As a result, when he encounters foreign enemies, he abandons the people without permission and runs away on his own..."
Scathach said calmly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you...but I don't know what Esdeath will do to you."
"...!"
The old king's face changed like a Sichuan opera, and he didn't even need various auxiliary props. From the joyful expression of rebirth when he heard that he was not killed, to the clear expression that he was going to hand over to Esdeath, his face changed from red to green. , and finally turns purple.
"Please let me go, don't..."
Scathach didn't want to listen to the king's nonsense, so he closed the door of the dormitory tightly to isolate the noisy sound in the room.
"Next, we need to gather all the royal family members into this room. Our manpower is too small..."
Perona got out of her head and suggested: "We can threaten the palace guards to help us carry it."
"Well, that's a solution. What about the other royal families?"
"They have all been controlled by me with my negative ghost. They are lying on the ground depressed. I really want them to see how miserable I am when I am on all fours. Wow!"
"The infiltrator is here!"
All the palace guards were mobilized to surround Scathach and Perona.
The guard raised his weapon and yelled: "Let's capture him without mercy!"
Scathach spoke slowly: "There are too many people, and we need to reduce a certain number of minions."
The red spear turned over in the slender palm, drawing out spears one by one.
"I won't take it seriously. Well, it must be right——"
Dozens of red spears appeared behind Scathach.
"...!"
The palace guards in front of them made all kinds of turbulent noises.
"Ha!" Scathach held the spear and waved it forward. The spear behind him flew like a red stream of light into the palace guards standing in the corridor.
"Ahhhh...!"
Flesh and flesh can't resist the spear blade, and the bodies of dozens of people can't stop the spear's advance.
The red spear left bloody holes on the body of the guard and several paths of blood in the closed corridor.
The bodies of many palace guards could not withstand Scathach's casual blow.
"Ha..." Scathach sighed heavily, "But no one here can block my attack? I thought the palace guards were stronger than the kingdom's army." He glanced at the crotch of his pants, which was already sitting on the ground. Several guards had water damage in their parts.
The guards trembled, dragged their legs that were limp and unable to use their strength, and knelt down to Scathach: "No matter what you ask me to do, please don't kill me!"
Scathach's eyes glowed red, and in the eyes of a few people it was as if Shura had returned, but she was only using prophecy.
"You guys, go and bring all those royal families here."
"Hi!" Several people helped each other to their feet and quickly went to complete Scathach's order.
