Chapter 14
"Hmph, you're smart, wait, what did you say?!?"
"What's broken?"
Then the leader stretched his neck and stuck his head into the sarcophagus. There was no holy sword in the sarcophagus. He just pushed the fragments that were still emitting a faint green light.
"Go and inform the old lady."
Seeing this, the leader had no choice but to instruct his subordinates.
After a while, the subordinate who had just left came in with a hunchbacked old lady.
After the old lady came in, she kept staring at Karl with wrinkled eyes.
It was okay for one person to stare at him, but a group of people stared at him. Even if Karl was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand so many people staring at him.
"Can you please stop looking at me like that? Besides, the sword is broken too. If you ask me to pay, the most I can get is one million berries."
Carl stole Buggy's treasure before getting off the ship. He didn't have any tricks. He learned everything from Shanks. Buggy's small treasury can only be described as full. There are all kinds of things in it. I didn't see it before Roger got off the ship. Now that Roger's pirate group is about to disband, I know that Buggy is really rich.
Speaking of which, the old woman approached the sarcophagus, took a look at the broken remains of the Seven Star Sword, and then turned her eyes to Carl, looking him up and down, muttering something in her mouth.
"This shouldn't be the case. For hundreds of years, no one has been able to touch this sword without being controlled. And the prophecy doesn't say that anyone will be able to break it in the future, even though this sword is much more powerful than that one. What exactly is the problem?"
""Little boy, can you let me see how you broke the sword? Don't worry, we won't ask you to pay for it."
Carl listened to her unclear words and felt that there must be some secrets that he didn't know. Anyway, they had come this far, so it didn't matter if they exposed their domineering color, provided that they could withstand it. Thinking of this, Carl agreed directly.
""Okay, but you have to be prepared. It’s not pleasant when I release this ability. The weaker ones can die."
The people around watched and agreed one by one. To be honest, it would be a shame for them if they believed in the strength of a child and were shocked to the point of fainting. No one took it seriously.
Carl saw them like this and knew that they were serious. After getting the affirmation from the hunchbacked old woman, he directly released the Domineering Color. The pupils of the men who originally looked down on Carl turned white, and then they foamed at the mouth and fell back and fainted.
Carl did not look at the fainted ones. Instead, he looked at the hunchbacked old woman with a shocked face. To be a witch of a tribe, her strength must not be weak. But this is the Domineering Color Aura. Even the most powerful people need some effort to resist. But this wife The old woman closed her eyes as if she was feeling his domineering power, or it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was exploring.
She released her domineering power for nearly ten minutes, and finally the men of the tribe could not hold on any longer, so they all withdrew with the consent of the old woman.
At this time, only the old woman was left facing Carl. People who didn't know would think that the two were fighting each other with domineering power.
After five minutes, the old woman opened her eyes and looked at Carl with surprise.
It was like a camel that had been walking in the desert for many years and saw a water source.
The old woman walked to Carl and said,"My little brother, you must not have shown all your strength. If you only have this level, the real Seven Star Sword will not recognize you."
Karl knew that the old woman must be hiding something from him, but she thought that he was irrelevant so there was no need to tell him the truth. Now that he heard about the real Seven Star Sword, he knew that the one he broke was probably just an A-grade sword that was put out in the open. He immediately released his domineering aura with all his strength, and for a moment, a large dark cloud covered the sky outside the altar, and then gathered on the altar.
After that, a hole opened in the dark cloud, and bursts of lightning and thunder came out of it, crackling, as if they were going to split the stone chamber where Karl was.
Karl in front of the old woman in the stone chamber had completely changed his appearance at this time. He was a king who looked down on the world, and a demon who slaughtered thousands of people. The old woman on the side had golden light in her eyes at this time, and she looked at Karl with a pair of eyes, as if she was admiring a piece of unpolished jade.
In the end, the expressions on her face kept changing. Five minutes later, it seemed as if she had made up her mind.
"Stop now. I didn't expect that you have awakened the Conqueror's Haki at such a young age. What's more, it is a special Conqueror's Haki that coincides with the Seven Star Sword. But I don't know whether it is right or wrong to give you the Seven Star Sword."
"Since you came here specifically to look for the Seven Star Sword, you must have heard some legends told by the locals after arriving on the island."
"That's right"
"Actually, the legend is not complete. Hundreds of years ago, the Holy Sword awakened its will because it killed too many people, and it turned from a Holy Sword into a Demon Sword. Later, my ancestors sealed the Holy Sword Seven Star Sword. In fact, the seal was the intention of the Seven Star Sword itself. Since the Seven Star Sword was born with its own will, it will go berserk if it is touched by people with weak minds.
The three princes went berserk because they could not grasp the power of the Holy Sword, but the Holy Sword itself had no malice. It was better to say that it did not know what it was doing, because although the Holy Sword had a will, the will was too weak to control such a powerful force. After knowing this, my ancestors stole the Holy Sword and sealed it up, waiting for the destined person to come."
"Only with enough strength can you conquer the power of the holy sword. If you cannot conquer the holy sword, you will be attacked by the power of the holy sword in five days, at most five days. At that time, you will pay the price with your life. Do you still want this holy sword?"
The old woman looked at Carl and asked him to make a choice. Carl ran so far just for this sword, how could he just leave like that? Besides, he has been coveting this sword for a long time, and he has to go and see it no matter what. He really didn't believe that he couldn't conquer this sword. When the old woman asked, Carl agreed directly
"Okay, follow me."
Then the old woman walked to the sarcophagus and put her cane inside, knocking left and right. Then, with a click, a door appeared on the wall next to the stone chamber. The old woman walked to the stone door, chanting something in an unknown language, like a spell, and then a turntable popped out of the stone door. Only after turning left three times, there was a click, then turning right six times, and there was another click.
The stone door opened, and the old woman walked up first, followed by Carl. In front of her was a passage. The passage was very magical. Every time the old woman took a step, the oil lamp in front of her would automatically light up, and the flames would suddenly The whole passage was illuminated.
Carl saw clearly that the passage had several forks. Carl was almost dizzy following the old woman around.
Half an hour later, a bright light began to appear in front of the passage, and the old woman's pace quickened.
Soon, they appeared in a valley.
This place looked like a basin, but it gave Carl an unreal feeling, as if he had walked out of a huge man-made bionic space.
There was a staircase in front of him, which rushed into the sky and could be seen at the end.
The old woman continued to lead the way."Old woman, how about I carry you up, you are walking too slowly."
The old woman showed an expression as if she had said something earlier. Carl directly spread his hidden wings, grabbed the old woman and flew directly to the end of the stairs.
The old woman originally thought that Carl was just a child who had awakened the domineering color, but who knew that he had wings. She didn't know whether it was a special ability or a racial advantage.
