I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

The conversation between father and son lasted until early morning.

After roughly agreeing on the next strategy for dealing with the Kingdom of Amento, Eleus dragged his somewhat tired body back to his palace.

bathroom.

The diffuse water vapor is like a thick fog, covering up the scenes that should not appear on camera.

While wiping his wet hair, Eleus walked to the large bath mirror. The anti-fog large bath mirror was not affected by the water vapor in the bathroom at all, and clearly reflected the pair of green eyes, handsome. Appearance, two majestic pecs, eight strong abdominal muscles, and——

Inlaid in the center of the chest is a gemstone with a blue-black halo.

"Bengyu!"

Gently touching the gem on his chest with his fingertips, Eleus looked at himself in the mirror with admiration.

"Wow!"

As Elus's thoughts changed, a pair of large, bat-like jet black wings emerged from the trapezius muscles on his back. They stretched to the extreme in an instant, directly blocking the lights on the ceiling above his head and casting a large shadow on the floor. shadow.

A pair of pale and curved sharp horns also grew on the top of its head.

At first glance, it looked like he was possessed by a demon.

"This thing... if you give it a name, it should be a phantom beast species, right? Bat fruit, phantom beast species, black-winged demon form?"

Elus gently stroked the corners of his head and the wings on his back. This was not the first time he stood in front of a mirror and examined himself. However, every time he looked at it, he felt it was so wonderful, so wonderful, so... ···wonderful.

Bengyu on his chest was born into this world with him and spent the past twenty years together.

However, in the first sixteen years, Bengyu remained silent and did not bring him the slightest help. The 'golden finger' that once made him so ambitious was frozen, and Elvus could only turn his gaze to the loess under his feet. Make your own efforts and give 120% of your sweat to make yourself stronger.

Fortunately, compared to those 'travel friends' who wake up in a garbage dump, have their bodies picked up on the beach, play uninhabited island adventure, drive unparalleled weapons on a pirate ship, and directly recover their souls on a bloody test bed. ——

His luck is not bad.

Not bad at all!

As the first crown prince of a powerful country in the new world, he was already a winner in life from birth.

With the support of such a powerful country, Elus has received top-level elite education (mainly training in military force) since he was a child. There is no way, who told us that this is the era of great pirates? Not to mention that the Kingdom of Exmundo is still in the new world. If you want to survive in this era and on this sea, sufficient force is the most basic guarantee.

When I was sixteen years old,

Elus, whose growth in strength has hit a bottleneck, selected an animal-type Devil Fruit from the palace's treasure trove—Bat Fruit, Ordinary Species, and Great Foxbat Form—and prepared to eat it. Although it was only an ordinary animal-type Devil Fruit, You can fly even if you can't stand it!

Rather than searching for Thunder Fruit and Burning Fruit with unrealistic fantasies and a narrow escape from death...

A flying animal-type Devil Fruit is actually a hard-to-find option.

but,

The moment he ate this devil fruit,

Bengyu, who had been dormant for sixteen years, woke up. Under the catalysis of Bengyu, the ordinary bat fruit directly transformed into its current form, [Bat Fruit·Phantom Beast Species·Black Winged Demon Form].

"The soul is still not enough!"

Elus pressed his fingers on the broken jade on his chest.

After Bengyu woke up four years ago, Elvus finally connected to Bengyu's consciousness and learned the reason why Bengyu had been silent for sixteen years.

The first was the birth of Hondama. Urahara Kisuke used countless 'hollows' as the basis to create half-finished Hondama. Later, Aizen Sosuke used hundreds of Shinigami and more people with Shinigami talents in Rukongai Using his soul as the material, another half-finished Bengyu was created. Finally, the two half-finished Bengyu merged into one, and the complete Bengyu was born.

It can be seen that the essence of Bengyu is a creation based on a large number of high-quality souls.

Let’s talk about the power of Bengyu. Bengyu has self-awareness. It can absorb and manifest the hearts of things around itself, and it can protect the host’s body from death. When the host’s ability reaches its limit or its life is threatened, Bengyu can make the host endlessly evolve to the next dimension.

It sounds incredible.

But after careful calculation, you will find that the power of Bengyu does not appear out of thin air. It needs to absorb the hearts of things that exist around itself. This heart is naturally not the heart, but to be precise, it is the soul of all intelligent creatures. With the soul as the Only with firewood can the host be supported to evolve to a higher and stronger realm.

The sixteen years of silence were due to the lack of enough souls to provide energy.

so,

soul,

Only the soul is everything.

In the past sixteen years of his career, Elus continued to hunt and kill enemies in actual battles, and Bengyu silently absorbed souls one by one. When he ate the Devil Fruit, the Devil Fruit The power collided with Bengyu and forcibly activated Bengyu who had not fully recovered his vitality.

Because Bengyu did not fully recover, the awakened Bengyu only strengthened and improved the power of the Devil Fruit, and then fell silent again, but this time it was not so complete dead silence, and he was still consciously controlled by Elus.

For four years,

Elus has been fighting and killing constantly, and he has been collecting souls for Bengyu.

After four years of unremitting efforts, the number of souls collected is actually not small, but the quality of these souls is not very high. If you only rely on such low-quality souls to fill Bengyu, it will be as deep as a black hole. The bottom-line demand is an astronomical figure.

"However, I finally have another chance to have a big meal."

There was excitement in Elus's green eyes. War is the fastest way to collect souls. The only drawback is that souls are fresh. Only when the war is going on can souls be collected to their heart's content. When time passes, souls Go to the underworld, but you can't even get the hair.

Several times I heard that a war broke out in a certain place, but I rushed there too late, so that the final harvest was really lackluster.

In the end, it's just a waste of time.

but,

This time he will personally lead the war.

In this war with the Kingdom of Amento, he is preparing to turn it into a hunting ground for harvesting souls.

Bengyu on his chest sensed Elus's excitement, and the circulating blue-black halo couldn't help but quietly become a little faster.

After taking a bath and putting on the pajamas prepared by the maid, Eleus quickly fell into a sweet dream on the soft big bed.
