What Accardo didn't know was that when he left the 'River of Blood'.
President Joseph did not dare to reveal it to his current captain of CIPHER POL-No.9, Lasky.
I was also forced to come in by Im.
He is about to become the second "Starfish Blood Clan" to be 'baptized'.
"who?!"
Lasky, who was wearing a black suit, had cold eyes.
The moment he reacted, he entered human-animal mode, and huge bloody bat wings suddenly opened from his back, and a domineering aura like flames rose up from his body.
This is the ability of the animal type bat fruit phantom beast type vampire form.
Coupled with his own strong domineering and physical strength.
His combat effectiveness is no less than that of any military general.
It can be said to be the second strongest player of CIPHER POL.
"Be calm and don't be impatient. Your Majesty has called you here."
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from above.
Lasky immediately looked up and saw Im sitting on the Void Throne.
"Now that you have seen me, why don't you worship me?"
Laski, who recognized Im, suddenly trembled, and immediately bent down, half-kneeling in the air above the sea of blood, and knelt upwards.
"Sir CIPHER POL No. 9, Lasky, pay your respects to Lord Im!"
Lasky's heart was racing at the moment, extremely nervous and a little excited.
He knew about Im's existence before, but never met him, which has always been a regret in his heart.
How can you not be happy now that you have got what you wanted?
Im aware of Laski's mood, and his originally cold expression softened slightly.
How could you not love such a loyal minister?
It is not in vain that you decide to spend money to cultivate the other party.
"Well, you need to first understand what a 'river of blood' is."
The words just fell.
Lasky found a flood of information flooding his mind.
But he couldn't interfere at all.
The domineering power on his body is in vain and has no effect.
But when I think of Lord Im's identity, it feels reasonable.
A moment passed.
Lasky understands everything.
"So that's it, how powerful and great, he is worthy of being the supreme creator of my starfish."
Lasky murmured to himself, his eyes filled with fanatical admiration.
"Next, during the process of your 'baptism', Mu will mobilize the energy of this 'river of blood' and pour it into your body."
"Although rough behavior should cause you to experience severe pain, it will also greatly increase your strength, so you must endure it and don't let Mu down."
Im's tone was faint and meaningful.
He really valued Akado, so he gave him a position as King of the Shichibukai.
He also deliberately left the demon heart of the 'high-ranking demon' Bloody Earl Emmanuel to the other party.
But in terms of weight, the Laski in front of me is heavier!
The reason why he is not King Shichibukai is because he deserves a higher status.
The reason why he failed to get Emmanuel's demon heart.
Because it is just the heart of a superior demon.
Im prepared better resources for Lasky.
The root power of the river of blood!
"Thank you, Lord Im, for your cultivation. I will do my best to fulfill my mission!"
Lasky maintained a half-kneeling posture to show his firm attitude.
"Okay, let's get started."
Im nodded in response, then summoned a blood spirit and made it escape into Lasky's body.
This is the necessary medium.
Lasky did not resist and allowed the blood spirit to enter his body.
But the blood spirit was about to become a demon in the body, affecting Laski's mind.
It was crushed to pieces by the strong will and turned into pure nutrients and absorbed completely.
Not to mention just a blood spirit.
Even the Tsukuyomi of the Mangekyō Sharingan, no other god can shake his will!
The next moment, the baptism officially begins.
As the world of "River of Blood" becomes more powerful.
Lasky was unable to resist at all. His whole body was surrounded by rolling blood, and his entire body was submerged in the blood mass.
Seeing this, Im also took action.
Lift your right hand slightly.
The blood-red sky above our heads is filled with changing winds and clouds.
Severe pain began to sweep through the whole body, and even to the depths of the soul.
"Ahhhh——"
“Ahhhhhhhh——”
Not surprisingly, Lasky screamed.
He was not afraid, but venting his anger. He instinctively had to use this method to relieve the pain.
And in Im's eyes.
Lasky's aura is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As time passes slowly.
Laski, who was suffering a lot and felt that life was worse than death, didn't know that in Im's eyes, he could already be regarded as a general in combat power.
Of course, the generals here are not compared to Kaido, Aramaki, and Newgate.
But people like Abelru, Shiji, Tiger, and Crocodile.
However, this baptism seems to show no sign of stopping.
Lasky will continue to be tortured.
【boom----】
I don’t know how much time had passed, but the huge blood cell wrapped in Lasky was still spinning turbulently.
suddenly.
It actually erupted into a more violent and terrifying impact, even comparable to a nuclear explosion, spreading out in all directions of the blood-red light beam.
This caused a huge tsunami to rise in the blood sea below, causing many blood spirits to flee in panic.
But the aloof Im turned a blind eye to this.
Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes flashed with joy.
"Sure enough, the Devil Fruit has a second level of power, and it's still animal type."
Yes, according to Im's judgment, Lasky's vampire fruit ability has successfully reached the second awakening state.
Immediately he began to understand the specific changes in Lasky.
Soon, he understood the fundamental effect of the ‘second awareness of the animal system’.
It's almost the same as my own Superman Devil Fruit ability.
After the "second awakening" of the space fruit ability, the ability turns into authority and completely becomes one's own power.
That is, he is no longer a devil fruit ability user.
After an animal-type ability user attains "Second Enlightenment", they completely change their bloodline factors and become a species of that form.
At the same time, all the abilities and power belong to you, and you are no longer a Devil Fruit user!
In other words, Lasky is no longer a human being, but a vampire. To put it nicely, he is a vampire.
And because he is being baptized by the ‘river of blood’.
So he also became a 'Starfish Blood Clan'.
Temporarily given the title of 'Prince'.
really.
Some time passed, and with the blood and blood around him, all was 'led' into Lasky's body.
A dazzling blood-colored brilliance suddenly bloomed from his body, illuminating the endless sea of blood in the entire "blood river".
The origin of blood and the authority of the two consciousnesses finally merged perfectly in him.
This sublimated his life and soul.
The suit on Laski's body and the dark red sunglasses on his face disappeared.
But only the sapphire on the earlobe was still shining.
He was naked, with long pale hair hanging on his body, swaying up and down in the wind and waves.
Floating above the sea of blood, surrounded by scarlet blood.
The blood gradually turned into pieces of gorgeous clothing and robes on Lasky's body.
Wait until he comes to his senses.
The Throne of the Void comes into view again.
Laski, who had completely reborn, knelt down again without hesitation under Im's gaze.
"The True Ancestor of the Blood Clan, Lasky, pays homage to Lord Im!"
Yes, True Ancestor, this is Im's purpose.
He consumed the root power of the 'River of Blood' in order to push him to the level of the 'True Ancestor'.
This is equivalent to the highest level of demons bred in Hades.
It's a pity that River of Blood has just been born.
The foundation is completely incomparable to Hades, which absorbs the negative energy of the entire universe.
It is enough for a true ancestor to appear in a short period of time.
