"I see! You really look like a legend!"

Baggy looked toward this mysterious man in front of him and he couldn't understand what this man meant by being a legend or something.

'Does he know the fact that I'm a former member of the Pirate King crew? Maybe that's the case!' Baggy became very careful as he thought about it.

"Heh! Actually, you're right. I already know that you were part of the Pirate King crew." Lionel said with a smirk.

"Exactly as I expe- What! How!? How did you know what I was thinking?" Buggy replied with a terrified look on his face.

Lionel just smiled and approached Buggy who was shrunken like a mouse who saw a cat.

Lionel didn't care about him and just checked Buggy's Destiny list.

"Tsk! So weak... I really don't know why someone like you joined Roger's crew!" He clicked his tongue in disappointment before kicking Buggy.

Lionel shook his head and thought inwardly, 'Hmm... He has an extremely powerful Devil Fruit but is a complete idiot... He couldn't figure out a way to develop it at all.'

He then looked at the frightened Baggy and stated,

"You really are born an innate clown."

Baggy shivered after hearing what Lionel said! Not even Zeldris's darkened eyes were as intimidating as this man! Compared to this man's eyes, he felt like a defenseless pig waiting to be slaughtered!

"W-What have I done to you? There's no enmity between us! I-I don't even know you!" Buggy shouted while crying.

"No, you didn't do anything at all, but I really have to kill you or I'm going to screw up a lot of things," Lionel said after shaking his head.

'The task was to annihilate all pirates in the four crews, even the captain!' He added in his mind.

"This..." Buggy was speechless.

"Okay, before that, I'll take something useful from you."

Lionel pressed the steal button for the Devil Fruit ability.

[Plundering the Destiny of the ability "Split Body"]

[1%...10%...40%...85%...100%]

[Destiny of the ability; Split Body was successfully stolen!]

Lionel felt strange, he felt something changing in his body and he felt as if from now on it was impossible for any sharp weapon to harm him! The swordsman would just be a joke in front of him!

His mind was attacked by many notices from the system.

[Ding!]

[The host's soul contains a demonic bloodline!]

[Mastery has been raised to the peak!]

[The devil fruit has been awakened!]

[The 'Split Body' rating has been raised to Diamond grade!]

[You have reached the first stage of awakening!]

[You got a new skill!]

[The Diamond Grade 'Split World'!]

'I didn't think the Lightning Spirit would bring me such great benefits!'

Lionel raised his finger in the shape of a blade and the room of the yacht was divided like a piece of soft tofu!

Lionel quickly stopped before he cut the yacht in two.

Baggy looked at this scene with a baffled look, not knowing what had happened at all.

Then he saw Lionel waving his finger at him. The little wave followed his eye and his head stopped down, and the world before him darkened.

The last thing he remembered was feeling his head getting separated from his body! For a moment, his muscle memory told him not to worry because he wouldn't die from the decapitation attack.

Sighing in relief was the last thing he did in this world before his bloody head fell to the ground.

The slash was very smooth but that didn't stop the fountain of blood from exploding.

[Ding!]

[Mission progress: 3/4]

Lionel looked at Baggy's headless body. His eyes contained no remorse nor resentment, only bone-piercing coldness as he turned and walked out of the room.

After he left, he looked at Roy and said, "Clean the room, don't burn him. Throw the body into the sea. That will be the first and last respect I give him."

"Understood, my Lord."

Roy hurriedly entered the room.

Lionel turned his gaze to Zeldris and thought about the previous matter he had discussed with Arya after he had finished pacifying Nami earlier.

*Start of flashback*

1 hour ago:

'Arya, is there a way to revive the dead?' Lionel asked with a hand on his chin.

[There are many ways, but very few are available to you right now~]

Arya's tone sounded lighter and brighter than usual. Lionel noticed that but was distracted by what Arya meant by her words.

'Huh? Really!? Can you tell me how to make that happen?' He asked with an excited expression.

[The easiest and most reliable method takes a little luck, but it is very effective. You can go to the grave of the person you want to revive and if his/her negative or positive feelings are still lingering in the form of a wandering ghost, you can revive him/her via the affiliation function!]

'This...! How did I not think of this!?' Lionel slapped his forehead from his stupidity!

'Well... What if I don't find remnants of their souls?' He then asked another important question.

[Then you have to wait to open another world store on which you may find suitable ways… Everything depends on your memory in this case!]

'Okay Arya, you were so helpful to me again, I really love you~' He thanked her cheekily before smiling like an idiot.

[...Idiot!!!]

*End of flashback*

Lionel looked at Zeldris and said, "Actually, I have two tasks for you. They are not that difficult and you won't have to search much this time. So I expect you to complete them and come back in a day and with your speed, I think even a day is rather long."

"Just tell me what to do, my Lord and I will do it efficiently and as quickly as possible," Zeldris said with a serious look on his face.

"That's good. I expect a lot from you, Zeldris! Well, I will reward you for your loyalty and hard work in advance." Lionel said with a smile.

Zeldris' eyes brightened when his master mentioned the term 'reward'.

'Maybe it's something that raises my strength like Shion!'

"It's just as you expected, and you too, Roy, don't stay behind, come here," Lionel stated before calling Roy who is looking at them in the background.

"Here I am, my Lord!" Roy stoically approached Zeldris's side with a look of expectation on his face!

Lionel took out two drops of his blood and sent it in front of their faces.

"Eat that drop of blood. The spiritual bond between us will be strengthened, your bodies and bloodlines will also be upgraded, whilst your potential will be amplified to a high level. With this, you will rise at least one level in all aspects and your strength will increase rapidly over time." Lionel explained when he saw the two men's confused look.

After hearing their master's explanation, they did not hesitate anymore and swallowed the drop of blood given by their master!

They felt their skeletons expanding and their life essence rising! It was a heavenly feeling for them and the one who got the most benefits was Zeldris.

His demonic bloodline had become close to his father's level! Give him a little time and he will reach that level he always dreamed of and he will even surpass it with the help of Lionel!

Zeldris got a little taller and his hair got longer too. He became brighter and more handsome, But Zeldris didn't care about such things at all, because an increase in strength was all he dreamed of! A power that surpasses even his father!

BOOM!!!

Rumble!!!

Zeldris hit his head on the ground as well as Roy and they said in unison,

"We thank the Master for this blessing! We will not disappoint you at all!"

The two of them were extremely excited! Roy could feel superhuman strength pouring out of his body and even without his flame-based alchemical power, he could crush enemies with just his physical strength!

"It's good that you liked my gift."

Lionel's mood was also good because he had obtained a powerful new ability as well.
