"No wonder His Majesty values this Demon Sword so much; it actually possesses Sword Spirit?"
"What Demon Sword? From now on, this will be His Majesty's imperial sword, a true imperial sword!"
"Sword Spirit that recognizes its master—that's truly incredible!"
···
The crowd's gazes toward Wang Shi grew increasingly fervent. With the Seven-Star Dragon Sword's blessing on their hearts, the newly joined Laffitte's loyalty reached its peak.
Even Capone Bege's heart has undergone a huge change, and he can no longer even think of defying the Wang Shi.
Yi Xiao discovered that the Seven-Star Dragon Sword possessed a property that could "enhance loyalty".
Subordinates weaker than Wang Shi will become increasingly loyal to Wang Shi.
Even though the powerful Aramaki had the ability to resist this power that enhanced loyalty, he didn't resist it at all, and his Aramaki became even more fanatical.
This doesn't seem to be a bad thing for the Goa Empire.
Yi Xiao no longer consciously resisted the influence of the Seven-Star Dragon Sword.
He felt that His Wang Shi was indeed an emperor worthy of following.
I hope His Wang Shi Emperor will become powerful enough to completely change the Celestial Dragons' decision-making.
This is the ultimate goal that Yixiao wants to see.
It would be perfect if His Wang Shi the Emperor were powerful enough to have veto power at the Reverie.
After failing to resist the influence of the Seven-Star Dragon Sword, Yi Xiao's thoughts and ideas increasingly aligned with Wang Shi's strategic direction.
···
In fact, Wang Shi did not manipulate the Seven-Star Dragon Sword to influence the crowd; it was merely the Seven-Star Dragon Sword's instinctive influence.
It strengthened and amplified the loyalty and respect of these subordinates.
Because most of Wang Shi's subordinates were loyal, very few of them deliberately resisted the power of the Seven-Star Dragon Sword.
Through the communication via the Seven-Star Dragon Sword, Wang Shi only discovered that Ikki and Capone Bege had put up a brief resistance.
Yi Xiao then willingly accepted the influence, while Capone Bege, lacking sufficient strength, was forcibly affected by the Seven-Star Dragon Sword.
Even Tashigi and other naval personnel felt that the Wang Shi's orders were more important than those of the Marine Headquarters.
Wang Shi did not actively use the Seven-Star Dragon Sword's ability to manipulate people's minds, but he also ignored the Seven-Star Dragon Sword's instinctive influence, letting it subtly affect everyone.
Without affecting everyone's fighting spirit and potential, we can naturally strengthen their loyalty.
After Tashigi completed the mapping of the Seven-Star Dragon Sword, Wang Shi led everyone away from the ancient village.
At her grandmother's behest, the priestess Maya joined the Wang Shi's party.
The naval instructor on Aska Island hadn't expected the Goa Empire's fleet to leave so soon.
That makes sense, given that it's not a particularly bustling island.
There really aren't many fun places to visit or see the sights.
He reported to the Marine Headquarters that Wang Shi had landed on Aska Island half a day ago, thus recording the real-time location of the Goa Fleet.
Now the Marine Headquarters and all Affiliated Nation know that Wang Shi is causing trouble and want to know Wang Shi exact movements.
Lest this guy manage to crush another Affiliated Nation.
They were even more rampant than the Revolutionary Army.
···
Among the departing Goa Fleet.
On the flagship, the Exile Emperor.
"Your Majesty, what conditions are necessary for a sword to develop Sword Spirit?"
Is it love? Or slaughter? Or battle?
Tashigi, this naturally ditzy, bespectacled girl obsessed with famous swords, has practically become a permanent resident of the Exile Emperor and doesn't want to go back to that East Blue 153rd Marine Branch warship.
As soon as Tashigi asked the question, Zoro, Saka, and the others immediately perked up their ears.
Even Yixiao and Aramaki listened attentively.
As people learned that legendary things like Sword Spirit truly existed in the world.
Now even the Aramaki are following the trend, and have found a decent knife to carry on their waist.
Perhaps one day, he will be able to create a world-famous sword that gives birth to Sword Spirit.
"The material of the sword, the will and emotions of its master, as well as special environment and time, are all conditions for the birth of Sword Spirit."
Even the Seven-Star Sword Spirit itself doesn't know how it was born, so how could Wang Shi know how Sword Spirit is born? But seeing everyone's expectant faces, he could only make something up.
All he knew was that the Klabautermann of the Going Merry was born naturally, thanks to the Straw Hat Pirates's friendship and careful nurturing.
"Does the material matter too? Looks like I need to find a good knife."
Aramaki suddenly felt that the sword at his waist was not good enough; he needed at least a Great Grade Swords, or even better, Supreme Grade Swords.
Even the blind man Yixiao possesses a Supreme Grade Swords, and as one of the Imperial Twin Marquesses, Aramaki also desires to acquire one.
"After that, more people were vying for the knives among the spoils of war."
Saka was a little helpless. He really liked the Yubashiri, a Ryo Wazamono, but if he had the chance to get a better, more Famous Sword, he certainly wouldn't mind exchanging it.
However, isn't constantly thinking about changing knives contrary to the condition of will and emotion?
No wonder there aren't many Famous Swords in this world that can give birth to Sword Spirit.
Each swordsman was thinking of getting a stronger, more powerful Famous Sword.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak, Famous Sword changes hands time and again.
Their chances of giving birth to Sword Spirit are even slimmer.
The legendary dragon-slaying swordsman Ryuma, with his sword by his side for many years, through countless battles, gradually forged it into Black Blade, no less powerful Supreme Grade Swords.
But none of these resulted in the creation of Sword Spirit.
This shows that the conditions for the creation of Sword Spirit are indeed extremely demanding.
Even a smile couldn't quite grasp the situation. He felt the Jidao Huoxian in his hand, but had no clue or opportunity.
It seems that my desire to create Sword Spirit in Jidao Huoxian was indeed greed and attachment.
Tashigi excitedly recorded this information in her notebook.
Zoro once again lightly gripped the hilt of Wado Ichimonji.
"Wado Ichimonji, accompany me to the throne of the World's Greatest Swordsman, let our names resound through the heavens!"
'If you could create Sword Spirit, it would surely resemble Kuina.'
Zoro then thought of the persistent Kuina, who was the previous owner of the Wado Ichimonji.
···
Several days later.
The people of the Goa Empire still couldn't find a way to imbue their swords with Sword Spirit.
They did witness Wang Shi repeatedly unleashing hundreds and thousands of meters of sword energy with the Seven-Star Dragon Sword in an exaggerated display.
It's worth noting that when Saka, a swordsman who lost his right hand, unleashed the Seven-Star Sword, he could unleash an exaggerated sword aura from the Marine Dojo, cleaving across half an island and sending shockwaves across the sea.
The fact that a single sword could enable a one-armed swordsman to unleash the terrifying sword energy of a top-tier swordsman demonstrates the power of the Seven-Star Sword.
The Enma from Wano Country can also forcibly absorb the user's Haki and power to unleash sharp slashes.
These Famous Sword, possessing special abilities, are even more exaggerated and spectacular in their expressiveness than the Supreme Grade Swords.
"Your Majesty, the zoologist and scientist you sought, Earl Batler Morgans, has sent detailed intelligence."
Laffitte did not compete with Nami for the position of navigator; instead, he became Wang Shi's administrative officer and diplomat, responsible for foreign intelligence exchanges.
At this moment, he organized the purchased intelligence and handed it to Wang Shi.
