"Seven Star Sword, I'm here!"
Nox was very excited. After all, it was the Seven Star Sword, a sword comparable to the Supreme Grade Swords. It was the most important sword in his life!
"Senior Brother, there are Marines stationed on the island."
After the ship got closer, Karoo saw the Marine flag rising on the island through his telescope, which meant there was a Marine base on the island.
"After landing on the island, get rid of those Marines, leave none alive!"
"Leave half of the people here to guard the ship, Kano, you stay too and protect Lesley and Shakky. The others come with me to the island!"
Nox said.
The Seven Star Sword on the island was a bit strange. Before completely subduing it, he didn't plan to let Shakky and Lesley get close to it.
Who knew if the Seven Star Sword had some strange ability that could affect the child in their bellies.
For safety, it was better for them to wait on the ship.
"Sister Shakky, did Nox come from the New World to the Four Seas just for this island?"
Kano watched Nox go ashore and couldn't help but ask.
Before Nox came, he had never mentioned his purpose, and none of them had asked. But now that they had reached their destination, Kano couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Yes, it's for this island. On this island, there is a sword that Nox wants, a cursed sword!"
Shakky replied.
"A cursed sword? Then it must be a very powerful cursed sword. Could it be a cursed sword comparable to the twelve Supreme Grade Swords?"
"Yes, it must be. If it weren't a cursed sword comparable to the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, it wouldn't be worthy of Senior Brother."
Kano became very excited when he heard that Nox came here for a sword, as if he were the one who would get the sword.
"That cursed sword is indeed very powerful, but I'm not sure if it has reached the level of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords."
Shakky said.
"Sister Shakky, can you tell us about that cursed sword?"
Shakky's words aroused Lesley's curiosity, after all, it was the sword that Nox wanted.
"A long, long time ago, on an ominous night with a red full moon, the three princes of the Asuka Kingdom first met a beautiful witch together and fell in love with her at the same time."
"To win the witch's love, the three princes took out the Seven Star Sword, which proved their right to the throne. To prove that they were the prince worthy of the witch, the three princes started a war, wanting to seize the throne and gain the witch's love."
"Because of this war, too many people were sacrificed, causing the country to be in dire straits. The land and the Sea also wept because they absorbed the grief and resentment of countless innocent victims."
"At the same time, the Seven Star Sword, which absorbed the hatred and blood of countless people, attracted slaughter and destruction, and became a cursed sword."
"It caused the Asuka Kingdom to be completely destroyed due to the existence and destruction of the cursed sword."
"However, the war and slaughter did not end with the destruction of the Asuka Kingdom. It can even be said that the destruction of the Asuka Kingdom was just the beginning of the real slaughter."
"The cursed sword possessed the power to control people's hearts. The cursed sword used the method of controlling people to cause fight after fight in the form of blood sacrifices."
"The war spread throughout this Sea area, and that beautiful Sea became a World ruled by bloodshed and slaughter."
"To save the common people from the war, and to eliminate the blood and hatred absorbed by the Seven Star Sword, that witch sacrificed her own life."
"The three princes prayed to the gods to repay the death of the witch they deeply loved. They received three treasures from the gods worshipped by the Asuka Kingdom, sealed the power of the Seven Star Sword which had become a cursed sword, and ended the war caused by the Seven Star Sword."
Shakky told the story simply.
"A single sword actually destroyed a country and even crossed the Sea, causing wars and the destruction of many countries. What a terrifying power!"
Lesley felt a bit absurd listening to it. Was this really something a sword could do?
"That's amazing! From this, it can be seen that the sword spirit of this Seven Star Sword must be extremely powerful and extremely bloodthirsty and cruel. It might even become stronger by absorbing blood and slaughter. Only such a peerless treasure sword is worthy of Senior Brother!"
Kano said with golden light in his eyes.
In the eyes of others, it was a cursed sword, but in the eyes of a Swordsman, it was a peerless treasure sword.
As for being controlled by the cursed sword, that was just because the person holding the sword was not strong enough and couldn't even tame the cursed sword..
The Marine base on Asuka Island was not far from the port.
"Reporting, Captain, a large ship has docked at the port, and the people who came off the ship look very troublesome. They are all carrying swords, knives, and guns."
A soldier came into the Captain's room to report.
"What? Are they Pirates?"
The Captain asked urgently.
"I don't know. There is no Pirate flag on their ship, and we haven't found any wanted posters related to them."
The soldier replied.
"Never mind, take pictures of them and send them to headquarters to take a look."
The Captain said.
"Boom!!!!!"
However, before these Marines could do anything, a powerful blood-red Haoshoku Haki like a towering Sea wave engulfed the entire Marine base.
Blood-red lightning flashed and thundered from the sky, affecting all the Marines in the Marine base.
Including the strongest Captain in the Marine base, they all fainted under the deterrence of this Haoshoku Haki.
"Kill all the Marines in this Marine base!"
Nox said coldly.
He didn't want the Marines to know the news of his arrival on this island.
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Karoo immediately led his men to finish off the fainted Marines one by one.
"Let's go, to the town!"
After dealing with the Marines here, Nox led his men to the town.
This island was not small, otherwise there wouldn't be a Marine base.
Although the location of the Marine base was very close to the port, others were not allowed to come here, so even if all the Marines here were killed, no one noticed.
There were many people in the town, and it was very lively, which showed that it was relatively peaceful here.
"Senior Brother, where are we going?"
Karoo asked.
"Of course, to the tavern. Taverns are the best places to get information."
Saying that, Nox led Karoo and the others to the largest tavern in this small town.
"Hahaha, your drinking capacity is no good!"
"Beautiful lady, come and have a drink with me."
"Good wine, good wine!"
"After drinking this wine today, I probably won't be able to come for several days. I really don't have the money to come here and enjoy myself every day!".
Many people in the tavern were drinking and chatting.
