Chapter 275 The Magical Use of the Mark of the Dark Lord
"It looks familiar, I think I've seen it on the reward order."

"The newly issued reward order, the pirate with a reward of 3000 million Baileys, Monkey D. Luffy?"

"No wonder this person is so strong, the captain's reward is only 800 million!"

Hearing Tang Sen's self-introduction, the doubts in the hearts of the pirates were immediately relieved. Most of them have seen the strongest person is only their captain. The pirates who offered a reward of 3000 million Baileys are very important to them. It is said that he is already a big shot in the sky.

At this time, Luffy hadn't become famous in the New World yet, so the pirates naturally didn't know what kind of abilities Luffy possessed, so they easily took their seats.

Tang Sen waited for a while, but he didn't feel the new Dark Lord's mark. He frowned slightly and walked to the front of the queue again.

"So, what's your choice?"

The pirate who was being questioned looked at the face that belonged to Luffy, then at the person who escaped his life, and hurriedly shouted: "Of course it is surrender! Lord Luffy, I am willing to be loyal to you! "

The Mark of the Dark Lord appeared on his arm instantly.

Tang Sen's pupils shrank suddenly.

can?

Is it really possible?

"So, even if I pretend to be someone else, as long as I meet the condition of being loyal from the heart, I can generate the Mark of the Dark Lord?"

Tang Sen originally just wanted to give it a try, and didn't have any hope for the results of this experiment, but——

I seem to have underestimated the characteristic of the Mark of the Dark Lord.

"Once the Dark Lord's mark is given, it cannot be erased, and there will be no betrayal. If this is the case, wouldn't I be able to reap the loyalty of others as long as I become someone else?"

"If you become Kaido, you can have the loyalty of the Beast Pirates, and if you become Whitebeard, you can have the loyalty of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Even if I become the Admiral of the Navy, I can directly plant the Mark of the Dark Lord on most of the navy?"

Tang Sen's heart beat violently.

But he quickly suppressed these excited fantasies, took a deep breath, and calmed himself down again.

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"The granting of the Dark Lord's Mark ignores distance, and at this moment, there must be people who are loyal to Monkey D. Luffy from the heart, then these people should meet the conditions for granting the Dark Lord's Mark, but in fact, I It didn't feel like there were any more Dark Lord's marks at all."

"Even among the pirates in front of me, only the one in front of me has been given the Mark of the Dark Lord."

"But when I used Mr. Rhett's face just now, two pirates were given the mark of the Dark Lord in an instant."

Tang Sen waved his hand to signal the pirate to step aside, and then continued to ask the next pirate.

The pirate shouted that he was willing to surrender, but the mark of the Dark Lord was not generated, so he was torn to pieces by the silent one who had been waiting for a long time.

"Not everyone possesses the capacity to be loyal to others."

Tang Sen is not surprised by such things. For example, even in the face of fear and death, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the idea of ​​being loyal to others from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, Tang Sen tested two more pirates, and finally, the mark of the Dark Lord reappeared on the arm of one of the pirates.

He looked at the pirates who were still waiting behind the queue, and suddenly his heart moved.

"These pirates have already lost their courage. In fact, I don't need to take the initiative to ask, as long as the pirates have the quality of loyalty, they should have met the conditions for generating the Mark of the Dark Lord."

"so--"

Tang Sen thought for a while, threw away the straw hat on his head, and returned to his original appearance again.

In an instant, several marks of the Dark Lord were directly formed on the arms of those pirates who had not yet been questioned.

"I see."

Tang Sen narrowed his eyes.

"I finally figured out why."

[Characteristics: Mark of the Dark Lord. 】

[Anyone who dedicates loyalty to you from the heart will be given the mark of the Dark Lord. 】

"The key to giving the Dark Lord's mark is not only loyalty from the heart, but also a key point, which is 'to me'."

"The object of loyalty must be directed at me."

"I can be any identity, any image, even if I don't appear in front of them, just a name pointing to me can trigger the conditions for granting the Dark Lord's mark."

"However, when I change into Monkey D. Luffy, this direction becomes blurred, because this identity and image is not unique, it can point to me, or to the real Luffy."

"Among these pirates, those who can be given the Mark of the Dark Lord, the object of allegiance points to Monkey D. Luffy, so they did not generate the Mark of the Dark Lord, unless there is a situation—"

"I personally intervene to make it point to me."

This can also explain why when I became Luffy, only those who had communicated with me were given the Mark of the Dark Lord, while other people, even if loyal emotions had emerged in their hearts, could not generate it. .

Because in this case the pointing is not clear.

And when he reverted to his original appearance, the direction was instantly clear and unique, so he no longer needed to personally interfere, and he could instantly generate the Mark of the Dark Lord.

"So, it is impossible to directly gain the loyalty of the navy by becoming an admiral of the navy."

"I have to appear in front of the navy in person, and personally interfere with the navy's cognition of loyalty, so that they can generate the mark of the Dark Lord."

"Moreover, my ability to transform into others comes from the potion sequence of the Faceless Man. Although I can easily transform into the face and body of other people, this ability has a limit. The most I can do is to increase the height of my body. Or one-tenth shorter. I remember that whether it is the admiral or most of the Four Emperors, their height is more than three meters."

As for the ability of transfiguration learned in the world of Harry Potter. Unfortunately, transfiguration cannot be applied to oneself. The only transfiguration magic in that world that can transform oneself is the acquired animal Animagus, and A disguised Animagus who can change his face and must be born with it.

Otherwise, the compound medicine would not be so precious, and there was no need for it to be researched.

"Maybe I can solve this problem when I devour the Extraordinary characteristics that allow me to change my size at will, such as bird snakes. It's a pity that those things can't be eaten."

Tang Sen rubbed his eyebrows.

Calm down and think about it, the characteristics of the Dark Lord's mark are not so perverted, at least it is difficult to do the things I imagined before, and it is not easy to perfectly disguise as a person.

Not to mention the problem of deformation, the strong in this world generally have the power of knowledge and domineering, this ability can make the strong extremely sensitive, aware of any subtle changes, whether it is the ability of the faceless man, or the ability to create illusions , I am afraid that it is difficult to hide the sense of domineering and domineering.

The advantage of Townsend is that no matter what the situation is, he is good at controlling his emotions. He will not be immersed in fantasy so that he can't adjust his position and act irrationally, nor will he be immersed in loss so that Ignore your own strengths.

"Although it's different from what I imagined, it's good news to be able to trigger the Dark Lord's mark while pretending to be someone else."

"In this way, my procurement plan in this world can have more room for manipulation."

"Perhaps, the goal can also be set a little higher."

Tang Sen originally planned to limit the mission of this world to the Kingdom of Alabasta, not to contact those too powerful beings, but now it seems——

As long as we plan well, with the help of Hailou Stone Finger Pull and the Mark of the Dark Lord, we may not be able to do more in a year.

After several experiments, Tang Sen had almost figured out the triggering conditions of the Dark Lord's mark. He looked again at the pirates who had been endowed with characteristics, pointed at a person at random, and said calmly:

"Since you choose to be loyal to me, then you will not refuse my order, right?"

The pirate trembled all over, and quickly said: "Of course, Lord Luffy!"

"Very good." Tang Sen didn't correct the address of the other party. With a thought in his mind, the person next to him suddenly expanded silently.

"Then, can you please come over and let Daisy tear you apart?"

The pirate froze for a moment, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Lord Luffy, didn't you agree to spare my life as long as you are loyal?"

"That's right." Tang Sen said with a blank expression, "That's why I let you take the initiative to die."

"After all, I have never planned to let you scumbags become my followers. The meaning of you is just to be a test object."

"No—no!" The pirate turned and ran away in horror.

Tang Sen watched this scene silently.

"So, the Mark of the Dark Lord can't affect human nature, turning people into puppets who obey what they say."

Tang Sen spoke again and said, "Stop."

The pirate unconsciously slowed down and looked back hesitantly.

"You refused my order, so, are you going to betray me?"

"No, that's not the case, Luffy-sama!" the pirate shouted in panic, "I don't want to die, I mean I'm willing to do anything for you, but... don't kill me!"

Tang Sen stared at the other party's expression, and did not see any hatred from the other party's expression.

"Even in the face of such a ruthless order, is the other party's reaction just to escape, without hatred?"

"This is clearly the effect of the Dark Lord's mark."

"So, the loyalty value of the person who is engraved with the Mark of the Dark Lord will not be solidified to the highest level. What the Mark of the Dark Lord guarantees is a bottom line, a bottom line that the other party will never betray."

"Of course this bottom line is already high enough for people to obey in general matters, but for these pirates, the current level of loyalty is not enough for them to die generously for themselves, and his natural fear of death is far away. Much bigger than his loyalty to me."

Such a situation did not surprise Tang Sen. In fact, Tang Sen didn't think it was a bad thing.

Compared with people who are completely loyal to themselves and have no self-thinking, Tang Sen believes that followers who retain their own nature are more useful.

"Then the experiment is over."

With a thought in Tang Sen's mind, the giant dragon's huge wings covered the mercury-like moonlight.

The flames were generated out of thin air, and Tang Sen's figure appeared between the horns on the top of the dragon's head.

He fumbled for the eternal pointer of Alabasta.

"Go, Smaug."

The dragon's wings brought a hurricane and soared into the sky in the moonlight.

And under him, it swelled to the limit silently, swallowing the pirate ship completely.

"We're going to usurp the country."

"It's hot."

The sea breeze swept in with a heat wave, passing through the creaking curtains of the restaurant, making the already stuffy space even more uncomfortable, and everyone's face was wet.

Tang Sen sat in the corner, swallowing the food while unfolding the newspaper in his hand.

This is the port city of the Kingdom of Alabasta, Dara Roja.

At the speed of Smaug, it didn't take much time to reach Alabasta from the location of the pirate ship. Even when Tang Sen stepped on the sandy land of this desert kingdom, the sky was just getting light.

However, it is already very lively here.

After all, Alabasta is a superpower in the first half of the great sea route, with an area of ​​more than 100 million square kilometers and a population of tens of millions. Such a volume is naturally famous in the entire surrounding sea area, and the perfume of Dala Roja is famous all over the world, attracting Countless businessmen came.

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of countless pirates.

"The number of rebel troops has reached 70."

Tang Sen read the contents of the newspaper silently in his heart: "The Kingdom of Alabasta is in jeopardy, and a civil war is imminent."

"It seems that the plot of the original work has not yet started, which is good news."

Tang Sen clearly remembered the plot line of the original work.

Alabasta is a desert country. It has been short of water all year round. In recent years, there has been no rainfall at all, which has caused the people in most parts of the country to live in dire straits. Many citizens suspect that there is no rainfall because of the king of Alabasta, Neferutali. It was caused by Cobra's private use of "dancing powder" in the capital.

Dancing powder, also known as rainfall powder, can artificially produce rain, but the side effect is that it will make other surrounding areas dry all year round.

Therefore, the people formed a rebel army under the leadership of a leader named "Kosha".

Of course, this is just superficial information. In fact, the source of all this is the ambition of a pirate—Crocodile the Sand Crocodile.

He and the "Baroque Studio" he secretly controlled led all this secretly.

Alabasta's princess, Naferutali Vivi, sensed that something was wrong, went undercover into the Baroque studio, and finally discovered the secrets of the Baroque studio and Crocodile's intentions, so she asked Luffy and his gang for help. help.

With unremitting efforts and the help of plot killing, Luffy defeated Crocodile and finally saved the country.

"I'm not a protagonist. I can't do sit-ups like Luffy, and it's even more impossible to have any plot kills."

Tang Sen thought about it: "Moreover, a person like Crocodile is absolutely impossible to meet the conditions for granting the Dark Lord's mark."

"So, my only advantage over Crocodile is Hailoushi."

"Maybe I can wait until Luffy defeats Crocodile before I intervene?"

Tang Sen shook his head, denying this idea.

"If my procurement goal is only on Alabasta, I can try this way, but if I want to go further, the power of Crocodile and the identity of the king's Qiwuhai are indispensable."

"After all, I can't miss the top war."

　I lost some time today, and I need a little less, sorry.
