"The power of the king?!"
"Still such a strong Conqueror's Haki!"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit cried out in surprise, its consciousness filled with disbelief.
"Not bad, you even know about Conqueror's Haki. It seems your former master was quite powerful."
Wang Shi gripped the hilt of the Seven-Star Sword, its malevolent power frantically eroding Wang Shi Armament Haki, emitting a sizzling sound like burning.
Wang Shi remembered that in the original story, when Zoro picked up this Demon Sword, his palms were burned by the hilt.
It seems that once this Demon Sword has recognized its master, no one else can use it easily.
The Famous Sword in the Demon Blade series all need to be bound to a master; otherwise, their ominous aura will corrupt the user.
Like the Great Grade Swords Enma, it can even steal the user's Haki without permission, draining them dry.
"My master? I am the master of you Sword Slave!"
"Huh? You can actually understand me?"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit refuted Wang Shi swordsman, in a self-talking manner.
But the next moment, it suddenly realized, how did this man know it had mentioned Conqueror's Haki?
"As the Emperor of Conqueror's Haki, Voice of All Things, hearing your voice is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Wang Shi gripped the hilt of the Seven-Star Sword tightly, his Conqueror's Haki growing ever more powerful, almost tangible, directly striking the consciousness and soul of the Seven-Star Sword Spirit.
"Voice of All Things?"
"Stop! Stop! Stop! My consciousness... my consciousness is fading!!"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit's consciousness roared wildly, causing its entire spirit body to tremble.
"Submit! Or I will obliterate your consciousness!"
"Although it is extremely rare for a sword to develop Sword Spirit, if it cannot be used by me, then it must be destroyed."
Wang Shi continued to unleash his Conqueror's Haki, overwhelming the Seven-Star Sword Spirit's consciousness. His Armament Haki forcefully covered the sword from the hilt to the blade, suppressing the Seven-Star Sword's eerie green light and malevolent aura.
"You want to annihilate my consciousness?"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit was terrified. In fact, its true form was its Sword Spirit. Even if the Seven-Star Sword's blade shattered, it could forcibly possess the sword wielder and become a 'Sword-Human'.
But doing so leaves everything uncertain.
It may have to compete with the sword wielder for control of the body and merge with the soul consciousness; it might even have its lifespan become like that of a human.
Moreover, only by shattering the Seven-Star Sword's blade can it break free from the Seven-Star Sword's restraints and allow its consciousness to possess the swordsman.
It will not become a 'Sword-Human' unless forced into a corner.
It's safer to enhance yourself by controlling Sword Slave to slaughter lives.
After all, these Sword Slave can be replaced generation after generation.
"It's not easy to find a master with whom you can communicate."
The Seven-Star Sword: Annihilation or submission—you have only three seconds to decide.
"Three, two..."
Wang Shi unleashed his Conqueror's Haki without any emotion, causing the Sword Spirit of the Seven-Star Sword to tremble violently and its consciousness to dissipate.
"Wait, wait, I surrender, I surrender, okay?!"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit sensed a fatal crisis of annihilation and immediately cried out.
The resistance on the sword vanished instantly, and the sinister power obediently submitted to Wang Shi's command.
Wang Shi felt he could completely control the various powers of the Seven-Star Sword, manipulating people's hearts, sharpening sword energy, and devouring life force...
"You're sensible. Following you won't bury your potential; I'll make you even stronger!"
Wang Shi smiled slightly, and with a casual wave of his hand, a terrifying sword aura roared out, cleaving a clean cut in the small altar temple.
"Thank you, Master~"
The Seven-Star Sword Spirit's respectful voice rang out. After recognizing its master, its consciousness connected with Wang Shi and received the protection of Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki will.
From now on, when facing other Conqueror's Haki enemies, I will no longer be afraid of their Conqueror's Haki.
This is the fundamental difference between a demon sword with a master and one without; Demon Sword with a master will become much stronger.
Wang Shi uses its innate power, it can also use Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki's Haki to temper its own Sword Spirit consciousness.
In fact, the Seven-Star Sword Spirit has now accepted its ruthless new master.
If you can't have it, destroy it—that perfectly suits the temperament of an evil Sword Spirit.
Then follow this man who possesses the power to Voice of All Things and the Conqueror's Haki, and go forth to kill and become stronger.
Human lifespan is only a few decades anyway.
When its master passes away, it will become even stronger and transform into a free Demon Sword, continuing to control its Sword Slave and live a carefree life for endless years.
···
Below the altar ruins.
Yixiao and the others from Aramaki felt Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki erupting time and time again, as if he were fighting some kind of monster.
However, they didn't seem overly worried.
They believed that the Wang Shi could overcome everything.
Reiju, Baby 5, Nami, Nojiko, Kaya, on the other hand, looked quite tense, worried that something unexpected might happen.
"Why don't you stop your king? That's the legendary cursed sword!!"
"If the cursed sword were to control His Majesty the Wang Shi, he would become a terrible demon."
Bound by vines, the witch Maya struggled desperately and cried out anxiously.
This is a terrifying legend passed down through generations of their family.
Why do these people just refuse to believe it?
Must they wait until their emperor turns into a demon before they realize their mistake?
"Put me down!"
"If we don't stop it now, it will be too late."
Maya was still struggling and shouting, her face growing increasingly anxious and worried.
"For Your Wang Shi's safety, please put me down. We have three precious orbs in our home that can suppress the cursed sword and protect Your Wang Shi from any accidents."
Maya could only offer advice to the two royal consorts, Reiju and Baby5, from the perspective of the Wang Shi's safety.
"An orb to suppress the curse?"
"Aramaki, let her go."
Reiju thought for a moment and then spoke to Aramaki. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Wang Shi's abilities, but she felt that having an extra layer of insurance was a good idea.
"Does the Imperial Consort believe in this weakling Baozhu, but not in His Majesty's strength?"
Aramaki made a sarcastic remark and then released the vines binding Maya.
Maya glanced worriedly at the small altar temple high up, then thought of running home to bring the three precious orbs back.
But suddenly she saw a terrifying, eerie green sword aura cleave out from the small temple at the altar.
"It's over, the cursed sword is about to be unleashed!"
"Quickly, snatch the cursed sword back from His Wang Shi!"
Maya pleaded anxiously with these seemingly powerful knights.
If the Wang Shi were to unleash a massacre, it would be another enormous disaster for the sea.
It may be no less significant than the Blood Moon War of yesteryear.
"Little girl, take a good look up there."
"What cursed sword? That's just wishful thinking and fantasy from you Xingdou Citizen and Egg-Scatterer."
Aramaki grinned and teased Maya, who was on the verge of tears.
"It seems His Majesty has already subdued this so-called cursed sword."
Yi Xiao, unaware that anything had happened to Wang Shi, calmly reassured everyone.
"I knew it. This so-called cursed sword is probably just an evil Demon Sword. For His Wang Shi, subduing a Demon Sword is a piece of cake."
Silver-haired Saka glanced at the beautiful Maya and smiled easily.
However, Demon Sword that even Wang Shi values must be very powerful.
This is definitely better than his Ryo Wazamono Yubashiri, and might even be comparable to Issho's Supreme Grade Sword: Extreme Path Fireline.
