Blood Death Knight Whitebeard
Chapter 84 Blood Death Knight Whitebeard
Whitebeard's death caught everyone off guard; some were surprised, some sighed, some gloated, and some were heartbroken.
Although many people predicted Whitebeard's death today, it is still quite sad that a legendary pirate story ended in this way.
"Dad, Dad, Kaido, you bastard, Kaido, I'm going to kill you!" Marco said, looking at Kaido with extreme anger.
Sylvanas took out some magical materials and began to carve various shapes around the white beard. Then she took out the Blood Death Knight transformation item that her subordinates had made earlier.
They were placed one by one around the white-bearded man's corpse, and soon a blackish-purple six-pointed star magic circle formed around the white-bearded man's body.
"Here you go, this is the summoning spell and the contract circle. Just follow the steps on it, and you can control him. Remember, you must find a way to weaken his soul and make him willing to submit to you," Sylvanas said, handing a spell to Rhodes.
Transforming into a Death Knight is only the first step. The more important step is to control the other party. Controlling undead creatures is slightly simpler than controlling demons, but it still requires sealing off the contract.
After taking the spell, Rhodes nodded and went to the white-bearded man's corpse, where he began to inscribe necromantic and blood-conversion arrays on his body.
This was also her first time, the first time she had transformed another life into an undead creature.
However, this was bound to happen sooner or later. As the queen of the Forsaken, she had to consider the sake of her entire race.
There are some things that must be done even if you don't want to, otherwise the forgotten will disappear sooner or later.
On the other side, Kaido stood beside Rhodes, carrying his spiked club. Blackbeard's face was extremely grim; this was a golden opportunity to seize Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
But it's a pity that Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, was standing there, along with that fearsome kid and that peculiar woman, and the skeleton lying on the ground. I don't think I noticed them before! So there was a bound skeleton among this group?
"You bastard, what are you going to do to Dad's corpse? He's dead, give the body back to us," Marco said.
"You bunch of trash, shut up! Anyone who wants to die, come at me!" Kaido said.
Several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't wait to rush over, but Marco stopped them immediately.
Do you think he doesn't know Kaido's strength, even if others don't?
This is the only monster that can defeat Dad in a one-on-one fight.
Now that his father is dead, he is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. He has the responsibility, the obligation, and the duty to bring all his brothers back to the New World safely.
This rescue operation was a complete failure. Their rescue target, Fire Fist Ace, was killed in action, and even their father, Whitebeard, was killed in action.
"Halaam Star, Salamkaru." A strange incantation, bitter and incomprehensible, that could not be described in words, came from Rhode's mouth.
Sylvanas then began to unleash powerful necromantic energy, which transformed into a dark purple mist that began to permeate around the white-bearded man.
The dark purple mist gradually entered Whitebeard's body. The hideous wounds on Whitebeard's body began to change.
The two huge wounds on his chest began to heal, but strangely, the white-bearded man's body slowly began to change to the skin color of the woman from before.
It turned into a dark purple color, and a cold wind blew by, causing everyone present, whether pirates or marines, to feel an extremely cold aura.
The four jars placed around Whitebeard suddenly shattered, and a large amount of blood flowed out, then pooled on Whitebeard's body.
An eerie, indescribable sense of dread arose in everyone's hearts.
It seems! It seems! Something terrifying is about to happen.
"Hey! What's that rookie kid from the Beasts Pirates doing? And that strange woman, what are they going to do with Whitebeard's corpse?" Doc Q said.
As a black doctor, also known as the Grim Reaper, he clearly sensed something different, the aura of death, an absolute deathly aura.
"I don't know, let's keep watching. We can't stop them anyway, and besides, this is the Navy's territory. The main body of the Navy hasn't said anything." Blackbeard glanced at Sengoku the Buddha standing in the distance and said.
"Marco! Dad, something seems wrong with Dad's body! Dad's skin color seems to have turned blackish-purple, just like that woman's," Vista said.
"And have you noticed that all of Dad's wounds seem to have healed? This is really strange. What's going on?"
The Seven Warlords of the Sea on the high platform also joined in the excitement, but Empress Boa Hancock quietly left the scene.
No matter what other people's affairs are, nothing is more important than Luffy. She needs to go and see how Luffy is doing right away, so she hijacks a navy ship and sets off.
She just saw a small boat that looked like a submarine rescue Luffy and Jinbe.
"Fleet Admiral! What should we do? Should we take action?" A Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral approached Sengoku and asked.
"If we were to go to war with the Four Emperors, we would need the World Government's approval. The World Government only approved our war with Whitebeard. If Kaido doesn't show any hostility towards us, we'll just wait and see," said Sengoku the Buddha.
This situation is actually advantageous to their navy; let these pirates kill each other!
Kaido of the Beasts just killed Whitebeard, which did the Navy a huge favor.
"Sengoku, I always felt that the dark purple-skinned woman in Kaido's crew, and that young brat, were not simple. They... they seemed to be doing something terrifying," Vice Admiral Tsuru said.
"Let's wait and see. Akainu, you need to recover your strength quickly," said Sengoku the Buddha, glancing at his admiral Akainu beside him.
He was the one who fought the hardest in this war, but he was also the one who was most seriously injured.
With Kaido present, a tremendous deterrent effect was created, and neither the Navy nor the pirates dared to act rashly, giving Rhodes the crucial time to transform.
Time passed slowly, and even Sylvanas was starting to feel the strain; the white-bearded old man's physical abilities were ridiculously strong.
Transforming it into a powerful death knight requires an enormous amount of death power.
Fortunately, they are currently on a battlefield, surrounded by at least tens of thousands of dead people. The death energy generated here is extremely abundant, which they can fully absorb and transform.
"Rhodes, how's the situation?" Kaido asked.
It's been almost an hour, and you still haven't finished?
"It's almost done," Rhodes said, bringing out his weapons and armor. He finished the final conversion spell.
He began to wholeheartedly manipulate the infusion of the power of death.
Furthermore, a magic circle was inscribed on the white-bearded man's soul to complete the final step: enslaving his soul.
At this very moment, in an unseen spiritual world, Rhodes is binding Whitebeard's soul with countless black chains.
"Submit to me, Whitebeard, submit to your new master," Rhodes said.
"You wretched brat, you actually... you actually tried to control me! Don't even think about it! I will never submit to anyone!" The white-bearded man's soul struggled, trying to break free of the black chains binding him, never expecting that even in death he couldn't find peace.
"Whitebeard, your power is immense. Are you truly content to remain asleep forever? Rise and serve me!" Rhodes declared, amplifying his magical output.
As expected of a Yonko-level being, Whitebeard's soul is indeed very powerful, but fortunately I was well prepared.
He drank a lot of mana restoration potions and mana-boosting potions, as well as all sorts of mana-boosting concoctions.
"You brat, I'm Whitebeard! I'd rather die than be controlled by anyone. Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Whitebeard said.
At the same time, he increased his strength and began to break free of the black chains. Cracks even began to appear on the chains binding Rhodes' white beard.
"Conqueror's Haki, it seems it can damage your black chains. Kid, you can't control me." The white-bearded man in his soul form said.
"Resistance is futile, Whitebeard. Do you think breaking free of one chain will be enough? You break free of one chain, and I'll bind you with ten more." Rhodes sneered.
He increased his magical output once again, and dozens of black chains appeared, instantly binding the white-bearded man's soul.
"Damn it!" The white-bearded man in his soul form knelt on the ground, furious.
That brat, is this ability to control the dead a Devil Fruit? I've never heard of such a Devil Fruit ability before!
For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate. The white-bearded old man was extremely stubborn. Even in his soul form, he would rather die than surrender and struggled frantically.
Damn it, I was so close, so close to controlling him.
At this moment, Rhodes was also a little anxious. He really didn't expect that Conqueror's Haki could actually resist his soul contract spell.
There's no other way; it seems we'll have to resort to some other tactics to weaken Whitebeard.
"Whitebeard, you don't want anything to happen to your children, do you? You don't want your sons to die, do you?" Rod said.
"You little brat, what do you think you're doing?"
"I won't hurt your son, but what about Blackbeard and the Navy?"
They're going to wipe out your Whitebeard Pirates! Your sons are in serious danger right now.
"Accept my enslavement, become my weapon, and I will grant you your free will. I promise you will take your sons safely away from here, all your sons," Rhodes said.
If Whitebeard's soul can voluntarily give up resistance, then the soul contract can be completed. Whitebeard's Achilles' heel is his sons.
"You! You!"
"Whitebeard, I possess immense power. You will become my trusted general, and I will take you to a different world, allowing you to see different sights."
"Even in the future, when I become powerful enough, I can resurrect your most beloved son, Ace," Rhodes said.
"Kura-la-la! You little bastard, are you lying to me?"
"How could you possibly resurrect the dead? If you want to turn Ace into someone like me and enslave him, don't even think about it," the white-bearded man said.
"I'm not joking. I can do it. There are treasures in all the worlds that you can't even imagine. Reviving the dead is a piece of cake."
"And all you have to give up is loyalty, and to fight for me," Rhodes said.
Very good! Whitebeard's will to resist has begun to weaken.
"Can you promise me that all my sons will leave safely?" the white-bearded man said.
No matter what, he couldn't let go of his beloved sons. Even if he died, let his father take care of you one more time!
As for the idea of the dead being brought back to life, to be honest, Whitebeard didn't really believe in it. He was content that he had saved his remaining sons.
"Yes! I assure you, I can get them out of here safely," Rhodes said.
Even in this cruel sea, we must uphold righteousness!
"Kid, that's what you said. Remember your promise," the white-bearded man said.
"I, Rhodes, will do any despicable thing, but I will never break my promise to anyone," Rhodes said.
"I agree. I'll serve Kaido from now on," Whitebeard said.
At the same time, it gave up all resistance, and its Conqueror's Haki disappeared.
"No, no, no, please don't misunderstand anything. Kaido of the Beasts is slightly better than you; he's like my father-in-law, but he's also my subordinate," Rhodes said with a satisfied smile.
"???? That bastard Bai Shou! Kura ra! That makes me feel much better."
A slight smile appeared on Rhodes's lips; the final enslavement contract was finally signed.
Whitebeard also completed his final transformation, and the first Blood Death Knight in the pirate world, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, was born.
Outside, at this moment, everyone, whether from the navy or pirates, was aware of it.
Everyone was incredibly surprised, their mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is a lie, right? This is a lie, isn't it?"
"How is this possible?"
"Could it be that...could it be that Beastman didn't kill Hundred Beard just now?"
"Dad! Dad's alive!"
"But Dad! He... he's acting so strange!"
At this moment, Whitebeard had stood up from the ground, and his skin had turned a dark purple.
His eyes turned a ghostly deep blue, and his body was surrounded by an extremely bloody aura and a chilling aura of death.
The next four thousand words will continue, more tonight.
