Starting with Hawkeye template, from Pirates to Demon Slayer Chapter 021

“Yes, we haven’t even seen what that demon sword looks like. Huh? Then how do we know?”

“I think Grandma Ilenasha said it?”

“Maybe, I’ve forgotten the specifics. Perhaps it’s recorded on the ancestral stone tablet?”

“We naturally wouldn’t know. Only witches like Grandma Ilenasha and Maya have the right to know these details, right?”

“Oh, right.”

Swish!

After their discussion, Lacos and the other village warriors all turned to look at Maya.

Not just them, but Law, Vivi, and even the bear were curiously looking at her.

Seeing this, Maya helplessly patted Lin Lei’s large hand away, glared at him, and said,

“As Lacos said, these details are only known to us witches.”

She paused here, and seeing everyone looking at her curiously, she could only sigh lightly and continue,

“Alright, since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you.”

“The information we know is all from the stone tablets left by our ancestors.”

“The tablets record that the Seven Star Sword once controlled many people and caused much slaughter until our Aska Island witches used the power of the Sacred Gem to seal it.”

“But every time the Red Moon appears, the power of the Seven Star Sword revives, and we, the witches of Aska Island, who have passed down our lineage for generations, need to activate the Sacred Gem and combine it with the power of heaven and earth to seal the Seven Star Sword.”

“Otherwise, it will once again control people’s minds and turn them into its puppets, then bring chaos to the world.”

“As the witch of this generation, I can not only sense the Seven Star Sword’s powerful demonic aura and bloodthirsty aura, but I can also activate the power within the Sacred Gem.”

“Since I have mastered both of these powers recorded on the ancestral stone tablets, then the deeds of the Seven Star Sword can’t be false, can they?”

Law and the others exchanged glances.

They had initially thought that what Maya was saying was just some ancient legendary tale, but they didn’t expect it to be a real thing.

If she was so certain and claimed to possess special abilities, then this matter might truly not be that simple.

Swish!

At this moment, Law and the others turned their heads to look at Lin Lei again.

“After hearing what you said, I’m even more convinced that I need to get that Seven Star Sword.”

Saying this, Lin Lei raised his index finger to block Maya’s red lips, then chuckled,

“Don’t rush, listen to me first.”

“From the information you’ve given me, I can confirm a few things.”

“Perhaps your witch clan on Aska Island possesses special abilities, but your description has some deviation from my understanding.”

“In my opinion, that Seven Star Sword is very likely a weapon that ate a Devil Fruit.”

Eh!!!?

Lin Lei’s words immediately caused a stir among everyone present, filled with surprise and doubt.

Maya was even more incredulous:

“A weapon that ate a Devil Fruit?”

As she spoke, she raised her delicate little hand and touched Lin Lei’s forehead a few times, then shook her head speechlessly and said,

“I say, Lin Lei, you don’t have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? How can a sword eat a Devil Fruit?”

Law and the others also showed expressions of suppressed laughter.

Pat!

Lin Lei smacked Maya’s little hand away in annoyance and said,

“Of course it can. As far as I know, there are several weapons that have eaten Devil Fruits.”

Seeing that they still didn’t believe him, Lin Lei sighed:

“Alright, since you’re so ignorant, I’ll enlighten you.”

“First, I’ll tell you about two that you are most likely to know.”

“One of them is Mr. 4 of Baroque Works, Beb. His weapon is a gun that ate the [Zoan-type: Dog-Dog Fruit, Dachshund Form], named Lassoo the Dachshund Gun.”

“Its ability is to spit out balls from its mouth that have an explosive effect, each ball being equivalent to a bomb.”

“The other is the current World Government CP 9 Director, Spandam. His weapon is a long sword that ate the [Zoan-type: Elephant-Elephant Fruit], named Funkfreed.”

“Its ability is to transform into a giant elephant when swung, launching a surprise attack on enemies.”

“This is just a simple explanation of their abilities.”

“There’s also a Celestial Dragon’s (Scumbag) sword that ate a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit! Its ability is even more powerful and mystical, even I haven’t seen its full extent.”

“Do you understand my basis now?”

Everyone was stunned after hearing Lin Lei’s explanation.

They hadn’t expected that Devil Fruits could actually be eaten by weapons.

What was the principle behind this?

Everyone was completely bewildered.

Even Maya fell into deep thought at this moment.

She didn’t think Lin Lei would deliberately fabricate such a story to deceive her.

After all, with Lin Lei’s strength and his kindness in saving Aska Island, even if he truly wanted to take the Seven Star Sword, Maya didn’t think they had the right to stop him.

Since Lin Lei had given so many examples, perhaps it really was the case.

Otherwise, if a sword were truly that miraculous, why had it never stirred for thousands of years?

As Maya was deep in thought, Vivi on the side also nodded in agreement and said,

“Mr. Lin Lei is right. When I represented Alabasta at the World Conference with my father, I also saw a king from an affiliated country whose staff had a peculiar ability.”

“At that time, I didn’t know what the principle was, but now that I hear Mr. Lin Lei say this, perhaps his staff also ate a Devil Fruit.”

Swish!

As soon as Vivi spoke, Maya and Lacos and the others looked at her in shock.

“She’s the princess of Alabasta?!”

Maya looked at Vivi in disbelief, then turned to look at Lin Lei.

“Yes, I saved her from these slave traders earlier, but that’s not the point.”

Lin Lei nodded:

“Don’t worry about the details for now. With so much evidence, you should believe what I’m saying now, right?”

Maya sighed, her watery eyes looking at Lin Lei:

“Actually, I’m still very uneasy, because my witch power’s perception tells me that the Seven Star Sword is extremely dangerous…”

“Maya.”

Lin Lei interrupted her, a slight smirk on his lips:

“If I can’t even subdue a sword, then it proves that my capacity is only so much!”

“Then how can I talk about turning this chaotic world upside down!?”

“No strength, rather die!”

Feeling the resolute character and powerful aura emanating from Lin Lei, everyone in the entire third-floor room felt a slight suffocation and immense pressure.

Although Maya also felt uncomfortable, the breathing techniques she had been practicing these days still played a role in resisting the pressure.

But her beautiful eyes were still fixed on this young man, who was two years younger than her, her delicate face filled with surprise.

This state of Lin Lei was a side she had never seen since she met him.

Even Lacos and the others hadn’t expected their young master to have such a domineering appearance!

‘Has Lin Lei’s Haki gotten stronger again? Or did he just never use his full power before?’

Trafalgar Law looked at the laughing Lin Lei with a serious expression, and couldn’t help but find his own thoughts amusing.

‘I only met Lin Lei today, so how could I have seen him in his peak state?’

‘I was too arrogant!’

Half an hour later.

Deep within the ancient ruins.

Lin Lei and his group, led by Maya, stopped in front of a stone coffin.

“Ah~”

Maya sighed lightly, her curvaceous body turning to face Lin Lei, looking at him with an extremely complex expression and saying,

“Lin Lei, the Seven Star Sword is ahead. You can still give up now…”

Clang!

But before Maya could finish speaking, Lin Lei snatched the Kikoku from Law’s shoulder, drew the long sword, and unceremoniously slashed at the stone coffin.

Clack clack clack!!!

Blue sword light flashed before everyone’s eyes in the underground stone chamber, instantly slicing the stone coffin into countless pieces.

Crack!

Clatter—

As Lin Lei sheathed his sword and tossed Kikoku back to the stunned Law, the stone coffin in front of them shattered into countless fragments that scattered to both sides, revealing an ancient, dark green long sword with mysterious patterns on its blade, lying quietly inside.

Seeing this, Lin Lei’s eyes flashed with brilliance, and as his memories churned, he made the match.

That’s right, it was it.

The Cursed Holy Sword!
