"Real?!"
Nolan immediately put all his previous negative emotions behind him.
This man is my idol, the most powerful being in the world. Just how powerful can I become if I obtain his abilities?
"Do you sense anything unusual?"
Upon hearing Cifer's question, Nolan began to carefully sense his surroundings, but apart from feeling a power within his body, nothing else changed.
She told Cifer the truth, and he fell into deep thought again.
He had been wondering if it was possible to inherit some of the characteristics of the virtual, but it seems that it is not.
Another Cifer is very concerned about is that her Spiritual Pressure is somewhat different from that of the Hollows in Devil Fruit. So, since she inherited her Spiritual Pressure, can she learn the Shinigami Techniques?
Everything is still just an idea; whether it can be realized remains to be seen until it is tried.
However... the most urgent task is to raise her Spiritual Pressure first. That seed should be able to grow along with her!
As for Enel and the others, given their weakened state, Cifer dared not attempt anything rashly.
After all, it's the same principle as one person not being able to eat two Devil Fruits.
"Don't be too happy yet. In the coming days, I will personally train you until you are familiar with this power."
"Good!"
Nolan was not intimidated by Cifer's words. She jumped up and clung to Cifer, rubbing her little face against his.
For her, Captain Cifer's grueling training wasn't scary; what was scary was the thought that one day she would be completely left behind.
The thorn that had been stuck in Nolan's heart for so long was finally pulled out at this moment, and a banquet was held on the ship for the first time in a long time to celebrate her.
Until nightfall.
"Brubrubru~ Brubrubru~"
On the deck, Cifer took out Den Den Mushi, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
"Mr. Ulquiorra, I have now arrived near the master's palace, but could you please tell me what you intend to discuss?"
The other party was the man who had been released that morning, and he had returned to the so-called Holy Land Mary Geoise so quickly.
He got Cifer's contact information from the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but he is now very uneasy.
He didn't want to offend either party in the upcoming conversation, so he wanted to see if he could find out the details beforehand.
As long as it's not too outrageous, he can try to see if he can save his own life.
"Don't worry, since it's just a conversation, I certainly won't let him take your life!"
Hearing this, the man felt a little relieved. No matter how strong they were, weren't they still just like him, only able to wag their tails in front of the Celestial Dragons?
He told Cifer to wait a moment, then hung up the Den Den Mushi and began preparing to meet the master he served.
"What do you want to talk to that Celestial Dragons about?"
Bonney's expression was a little off; she had some negative impressions of the Celestial Dragons.
Although she knew that the Celestial Dragons were high and mighty, Bonney would feel very uncomfortable if her captain bowed to them.
He was once known as the "God Slayer"!
A silence fell as everyone awaited Cifer's answer.
"Bakudō Fifty-Eight: Kakushitsuijaku!"
Cifer placed a wisp of Spiritual Pressure on the man, merely tracking his own Spiritual Pressure; there was no need for any incantation or spells.
In a flash, the man's location appeared in my mind. Now, it was within the range that the Garganta could reach!
"You just wait here. I have nothing to talk to those guys about."
A smile appeared on Cifer's face, and he then opened up the shattered space.
Meanwhile, in a bedroom in a palace in Mary Geoise.
"What? You mean that thug wants to talk to me?"
The obese middle-aged man, who was ugly and dressed in heavy clothes, kicked the man, and even this small movement left him panting heavily.
"However, considering he has several beautiful companions, the great Saint Versas will listen to how he plans to curry favor with me!"
"Yes!"
The Celestial Dragons before me is a member of the Jelgacia Family, and Saturn, one of the Gorosei, is also from this family.
Since birth, he has had everything he wanted, and no one has ever dared to disobey him, or rather, no one has ever dared to disobey the Celestial Dragons!
There is only one outcome for disobeying the Celestial Dragons: death!
He was very dissatisfied that the thug who killed Celestial Dragons was not punished but instead became one of the Shichibukai.
No one can defy the Celestial Dragons!
After expressing her feelings to Saturn, she was met with a barrage of insults and told to temporarily give up on pursuing that bastard.
This made him feel very frustrated and he desperately needed to vent his anger. Just then, that bastard's companions came into his view.
Saturn told himself not to mess with that person, but he didn't say that his companions were not to be touched, which led to today's events.
He thought that the other party's previous exchanges with him before offering him a beautiful woman were nothing more than an attempt to curry favor with him!
"Brubrubru~ Brubrubru~"
A strange thing happened: the sound of Den Den Mushi) rang out in the room.
"He really does have a funny face~"
As footsteps approached, Cifer's mocking words rang out, and the burly man's face turned deathly pale; he seemed to realize he had done something wrong.
"You little rascal! Who gave you permission to enter the great... Ah!"
Beel pointed at Cifer, but before he could finish speaking, his severed hand fell to the ground, causing him to cry out in pain as he clutched his wound.
"Guards! Where have all the guards gone?!"
He slumped to the ground, backing away repeatedly, shouting as tears and snot streamed down his face.
"Shout all you want, it won't do any good even if you shout until your throat is hoarse."
Cifer wasn't worried at all, because outside this door, corpses were already strewn everywhere; all the guards and members of the Jelgacia Family had died by the sword.
Only the two people in front of me remained.
"Spare me... I will never harm you or your companions again..."
Even someone as stupid as a pig like Beel noticed something was wrong at this moment; blood was still dripping from the knife the other person was holding!
More importantly, it was a treasured sword that his father really liked!
"Recognize this knife? It belongs to the collection of another oddly-looking fellow in this palace."
"After all, you are not worthy to die beneath the Banlong!"
In this terrifying atmosphere, Cifer's upturned lips looked even more like those of a demon.
"Saint Saturn will not let you get away with this!"
He shouted until he was hoarse, as if trying to sweep away his anger and fear with his words.
"Don't worry, I'll settle the score with him sooner or later."
Cifer slowly and deliberately made holes in his body, one cut after another, and blood flowed out in a torrent.
In just over ten minutes, countless holes appeared on the Celestial Dragons's body, and he was no longer able to scream.
"How boring."
As the blade flashed, the head of the man who thought himself superior flew off, his eyes still filled with resentment.
The burly man who had brought Cifer there was now terrified, kneeling on the ground, his eyes devoid of any light.
He knew that his life was over, along with his family and even his entire clan.
"After watching you for so long, it's time to send you on your way. Don't worry, I'm a pretty good person."
A simple, decisive strike ended his sinful life.
"Hadō #31: Crimson Fire Cannon!"
Before leaving, Cifer deliberately set a fire to inform the world what had happened in Mary Geoise.
