Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

The first half of the Great Seaway, Angel Island.

Hilltop villa, in the corridor on the second floor.

Sephiroth reached out and opened the door of Hiyori Kozuki’s room and walked in. Hiyori Kozuki who followed him closed the door consciously.

“Master! What do you want others to do with you~?”

Saying that, Kozuki Hiwa knelt down, slowly crawled on all fours, came to Sephiroth, and gently rubbed his white suit trouser leg with his cheek, like a little kitten acting coquettishly. .

Seeing this scene, Sephiroth couldn’t help but sigh in his heart:

This annoying little goblin, if it had been yesterday, when I just came out of the rainbow mist, I would have made you cry and beg for mercy!

Sephiroth knelt down and slightly raised Kouzuki Hiyori’s chin with his right hand. He smiled and said:

“I want you to cooperate with me in conducting a fruit ability test…

To be honest, if you complete this test, your strength should be greatly improved, and you can directly break through the realm of swordsman and take a big step towards becoming a great swordsman!

However, you will also develop some weaknesses by then, such as being afraid of the sun and not being able to be exposed to the sun for a long time…

This is similar to the fear of sea water caused by eating a Devil Fruit. ”

“Hehehe! Is this true?

It’s really great to be able to improve your strength!

Anyway, Xiao Zi is also afraid of strong sunlight now and is afraid of tanning her skin, so she always brings an umbrella when she goes out! “Koyuki Hiwa said with a smile.

“Well! Since you don’t object, let’s start now!”

While talking, Sephiroth took out a blood-red pill from his pants pocket, opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Gudu-!

The moment he took the awakening drug, a bloody streamer appeared on Sephiroth’s body, and he instantly entered the human-animal form.

Before Kozuki Hiyori could react, Sephiroth hugged her, pierced his blood-sucking fangs directly into her white neck, and began to suck blood quickly.

Since he injected neurotoxins when sucking blood, at this moment, except for feeling the ultimate pleasure, Hiyori Kouzuki didn’t even notice that the blood in his body was losing a lot, and he soon reached the point of blood loss. Many death critical points.

At this point, Sephiroth began to use his fangs to inject a little blood into the girl’s body to maintain her basic life state.

but……

He still hasn’t stopped sucking the blood of Hiyori Kozuki!

At this moment, Sephiroth is using his vampire fruit awakening ability to make an attempt… his first embrace!

This is the power that he can use only after he has turned on the fruit awakening state and developed the power of blood to the utmost.

He can drain a large amount of blood from Kouzuki Hiwa’s body, causing the opponent to enter a state of near death, and then let his original blood take advantage of it, disintegrating and collapsing the opponent’s immune system, and finally allowing his blood to permanently parasitize the body. Inside the opponent’s body!

The blood of origin is a special ability substance that Sephiroth can only condense when he enters the awakened state. It is the embodiment of Sephiroth’s power. He can give it to others, allowing the recipient to gain part of his power. Thereby transforming the other party into a vampire.

but……

Instead, as the giver of power, he will also lose a corresponding part of his power, causing his own strength to decline!

After that, he needs a long period of training to recover the lost original blood.

Although Sephiroth was limited by the existing conditions after reaching the imperial level, which caused his strength to grow very slowly, he was slowly getting stronger and his strength declined. In fact, he was not very strong. willing……

Therefore, this matter has become one of the main reasons why Sephiroth has been struggling with whether he should use First Embrace to create a vampire!

With the loss of blood in her body, gradually, the light in Sephiroth’s arms began to blur, and her pupils began to become blurred, and her face became extremely pale.

The girl’s hands that were originally holding him fell down feebly, and the life breath in her body was weakened to the extreme. It was like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished with a gentle blow!

Sephiroth estimated in his mind that the time was almost up, and then he began to quickly inject his own blood into the opponent’s body, helping him quickly restore his vital signs.

At the same time, he also integrated part of Guangyuehi’s blood into his own blood and mixed them with each other, so that the two parties established a special soul connection.

Finally, a special blood energy condensed from Sephiroth’s limbs and bones, and passed through his

The blood-sucking fangs were injected into Kozuki Hiyori’s body, integrated into her blood, and disappeared without a trace, hidden in the deepest part of her body.

At this point, Sephiroth exited the awakening state, hugged the comatose Kozuki Hiyori, and lay down on the soft pink bed.

Virtual!

Very weak!

An inexplicable feeling of weakness came from all parts of his body. Sephiroth could clearly feel that his overall strength had dropped by about one-tenth, and his domineering power and physical strength had significantly declined.

He transformed one-tenth of his power from an abstract concept into a special power substance, and transferred it to Kouzuki Hiyori!

He estimated that it would take him a year and a half to recover this lost energy.

A ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room through the gap in the goose-yellow curtains, and fell on Guangyueri and her fair cheeks.

Immediately, red spots appeared on her skin that had been exposed to the sun, as if she had been burned.

“Ugh~! It hurts…”

Kozuki Hiwa let out a soft cry. Due to the pain on her cheek, her consciousness quickly recovered from her coma, and she sat up from Sephiroth’s body to avoid direct sunlight.

When her cheeks were away from the sun, her skin, which had been reddened by the sun, instantly returned to a smooth and fair state, no longer looking like it had just been burned.

This is the original blood of Sephiroth, giving her super-speed regeneration ability…

At this moment, Mitsuki Hiyori, she has been transformed into a vampire!

Her situation is different from Sephiroth. For the latter, blood is just a non-essential energy supplement.

but……

For her, blood is the only necessity that can provide her with energy!

She doesn’t have to eat, but she must replenish energy by sucking blood…

After all, after becoming a vampire, she can no longer obtain the special energy her body needs through normal food.

“How is this going……?”

Hiyori Kozuki stretched out her hand to touch her cheek where pain just came from, but she didn’t notice anything strange.

Confused, she tried to stretch her right palm into the sunlight that shone through the gap in the curtains.

Soon, large scalded red spots appeared on her slender and fair right hand, as if the skin there had just been poured with boiling water.

After Hiyori Kozuki withdrew her right hand, the scalded red spots on her hand healed and disappeared in less than a second!

Then, she tried it several times and found that even if she was exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, it would only cause skin burns, and nothing more serious would occur.

The reason for this is because Hiyori Kozuki is a second-generation vampire transformed by Sephiroth using his own blood, and has extremely high resistance to sunlight.

If Kozuki Hiwa creates other vampires in the future, they will lose this resistance to sunlight, and will instantly begin to burn themselves once exposed to direct sunlight!

“Master, am I not allowed to bask in the sun anymore!?” Hiyori Kozuki said with a hint of regret.

After she completely regained her consciousness, she could clearly feel through her sight, hearing and color perception that an extremely powerful force had been added to her limbs.

My current self is at least twice as strong as before!

Therefore, even if she knew that she would no longer be exposed to direct sunlight, it was not unacceptable.

Anyway, this didn’t cause her much trouble.

After all, if she wanted to go out during the day, she could use her Nue Fruit ability to create clouds and mist to block the sunlight in the sky!

Sephiroth gently rubbed his chin and muttered:

“Under normal circumstances, you really can’t go directly to the sun anymore!

but……

You may not believe it when you tell me, the reason why you can’t bask in the sun.

That’s because the ultraviolet rays in the sun are a powerful catalyst for absorbing energy for your body!

When you are exposed to ultraviolet rays, it will cause your body to absorb the free energy in the air very quickly, overloading the absorbed energy and causing burns to your body. ”

“Ah!? Listen to what you say, Master…

Ultraviolet rays are actually a kind of beneficial light to me, right?

But it was too much, and the large amount of ultraviolet rays actually hurt my body…”

“That’s right! Therefore, when you are exposed to a small amount of ultraviolet rays in the moonlight at night, your body will be in a state of excitement.

The strength will be slightly improved…” Sephiroth explained patiently.

After years of research, he has a fairly complete understanding of his own energy transformation.

Ironically, ultraviolet rays are actually a beneficial light for vampires, which can speed up their use of blood to synthesize the energy needed for their bodies!

However, the vampires artificially created by Sephiroth do not have special organelles in the body that can regulate the absorption of ultraviolet rays like him. This will cause them to overflow energy and lead to self-immolation… .

The reason why Sephiroth has been able to recover his physical strength very quickly and maintain his body at its peak state is thanks to the catalytic effect of ultraviolet light on energy absorption!

Through the perception of sight, hearing and color, Sephiroth clearly felt the feeling of loss flashing through Kozuki Hihe’s heart. He immediately raised his hand and touched the girl’s head, and said with a smile:

“Don’t worry!

If it were before, I might not have been able to do anything about it, but…

By chance, I got something that perfectly solves this problem! ”

With that said, Sephiroth reached into his suit jacket pocket and took out a silver ring with a pure gold inlay on the inside.

He gently held Mitsuki Hiyori’s left hand and put the ring on his ring finger.

“Put your hand out into the sunlight and try again.”

Kozuki Hihe nodded slightly, and she stretched out her hand into the sunlight again.

This time, there was a slight burning sensation on her skin, but there was no burn.

“Huh!? What’s going on…?

I really won’t get burned! ”

Guangyue Rihe looked at the young man in front of him with a look of joy on his face.

“The pure gold inlaid on this ring can emit light that can greatly delay the growth rate of a living thing, thereby allowing the living creature to achieve immortality.

However, what surprises me is that it can also limit the upper limit of UV absorption by vampires, so that vampires wearing it will not self-immolate to death due to the catalytic effect of UV rays!

I have to say that the existence of pure gold is, in a sense, just like an item invented to allow vampires to stand under the sun…”

Sephiroth stared at the ring on the girl’s hand, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.

“Eh!? Wait, Master, you just said you can live forever by wearing this!?

is this real……? “Guangyue Rihe said with joy.

Sephiroth raised his hand and gently pinched the girl’s small and delicate nose, and said in a doting tone:

“Little fool! When you are transformed into a vampire by me, you have become an immortal existence!

The effect of pure gold can only help you not be afraid of the sun! ”

“Hehehe! Master, you are so kind to me…”

“Then you must be obedient from now on and get along well with the other girls in the villa. You can’t continue to have troubles or hide other little thoughts. Do you understand?”

“Yeah! I know!”

Hearing this, Kozuki Hiwa immediately nodded and agreed.

However…

Within two seconds, she slowly lowered her head and said in an apologetic voice:

“That…Master…Actually, I have hidden something from you for many years…

Today, I want to confess to you…

Actually, Xiaozi is my pseudonym…

I am the Kozuki family of Wano Country, the daughter of Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Hiyori…

I said before that I wanted the Yama Sword and wanted to become stronger, but that was actually just an excuse, and the purpose was just to get back my father’s sword, Yama…”

Sephiroth did not interrupt Kouzuki Hiyori’s confession rashly, but just listened to her words quietly.

The reason why the girl suddenly confessed was not that she suddenly felt guilty and awakened, but that a special phenomenon occurred after Sephiroth transformed her into a vampire… Recognizing Ancestors Return to the clan!

Anyone who has strong affection, love, admiration and other emotions for Sephiroth will subconsciously be absolutely loyal to him and obey all his orders after being transformed into a vampire by him.

Even if the order he gives goes against his original intention, he will still obey it unconditionally…

However, this phenomenon is limited to the vampires he directly transforms, and vampires from different generations will not have this effect.

“Is that so?…Actually, I have already guessed your identity, but I don’t care.”

After Kouzuki Hiwa finished his confession, Sephiroth gently stroked the former’s cheek and asked seriously:

“However, what concerns me is…

If one day the Kozuki family stands against me, will you choose to stand on the side of the Kozuki family and become my enemy, or…

Choose to help me eliminate this enemy of the Kozuki family…? ”

Hearing this, a brief moment of surprise and hesitation flashed across Kozuki Hiyori’s face. After she was silent for three seconds, she raised her head and said in a serious and affirmative tone:

“I will stand on the master’s side!

If the Kozuki family will be harmful to the master, I will be the first to stand up and eliminate this hidden danger! “
