"A former Marine?"
In Monster Paradise stood a palace that perfectly blended savagery with splendor.
It was the residence of Typhon, the "King of Monsters."
Typhon raised his head in mild surprise and looked at Ulquiorra, who stood before him.
"Yes. I looked into it. Based on intelligence from the Big Mom Pirates, we can be fairly certain that this Marine Rear Admiral betrayed the Marines, and the World Government has placed a bounty of one billion Beli on him in the Underworld."
"Furthermore, he seems to have killed a Celestial Dragon."
Even the cold, detached Ulquiorra showed a slight change in expression as he said this.
In just a few days, Aatrox had slaughtered his way through the Arena in Monster Paradise.
He fought wild beasts, faced other Monster-Men one-on-one, and even took part in brutal ten-man and thirty-man free-for-alls where only one victor could remain.
In mere days, Aatrox had plundered vast amounts of mutation power through slaughter.
As Aatrox continued killing, the Mutant Blood within him grew more powerful. Its mysterious power drove his body to transform, while Typhon's domineering will, hidden within the Mutant Blood, influenced him.
As Typhon grew stronger and developed his Devil Fruit further, the power contained in his blood undoubtedly grew stronger as well.
Wielding "Godslayer," Aatrox had become the center of attention the moment he arrived in Monster Paradise.
He already possessed the combat strength of a Marine Vice Admiral and was proficient in the Color of Two Haki, giving him an obvious advantage over Monster-Men who relied on Typhon's blood to grow stronger.
Having awakened his aura of slaughter, Aatrox became increasingly familiar with that killing intent through his constant killing and use of the Demon Sword Godslayer.
It likely would not be long before he mastered it completely.
