"Yeah, right now what they fear is me, but starting today, let them fear you," Rosse murmured softly, at the same time stopping Gion, who wanted to make a move.
Such an interesting teaching situation, it's very suitable for a child's growth.
Since Kozuki Oden still hasn't shown up until now, then he also has enough time to slowly accompany this child as she grows.
"Fear me, huh...", Black Maria intoxicatedly inhaled a breath of Rosse's scent, then her hazy eyes instantly became clear, carrying a gaze so terrifying it was bone-chilling, as she looked toward that group of cursing samurai.
Without the slightest hesitation, Black Maria rushed out directly.
The leg she had injured just a moment ago had already been restored to its best condition under Rosse's healing.
And standing at Rosse's side, she felt better than ever before.
As she dashed forward, two seawater daggers appeared along her path.
Black Maria's eyes carried the joy of excitement. Without the slightest pause, she smoothly snatched up the two daggers, as though they had been crafted for her.
Shhh!
Charging into the crowd, Black Maria began merciless slaughter.
She still didn't know how to completely kill a person, but she understood very clearly. So long as a person made no more movements, then that meant they were already dead.
She also didn't care in the slightest whether these people could wound her.
With Rosse here, she couldn't possibly be hurt.
Even if she were hurt, she wouldn't care.
This was the mission Rosse gave her, and now it was the stage for her to perform.
Rosse had said it, make this bunch of trash fear her.
Then she would definitely do it.
Riiip!
The sound of bellies being split open rang out again and again without end.
Blood gushed, splattering through the air.
Black Maria's excitement was visible to the naked eye. She even became so overjoyed that she stuck out her tongue, licking the blood droplets flying in midair.
"Amazing!"
'This is a kind of feeling, being alive!'
"HAHAHAHA!!"
Black Maria's laughter carried the purity of a child, but to this group of surrounding samurai, it was the laughter of a demon.
Under Rosse's Conqueror's Haki pressure, they couldn't move at all.
They could only stare helplessly as Black Maria rushed toward them, chopping their bodies into pieces.
On every person's face, terror beyond measure appeared.
Those being killed were fearing death.
Those waiting to be killed were fearing the wait.
'Demon!'
This word suddenly sprang into the hearts of all the samurai.
But their terror was nothing more than an expression of emotion—it absolutely couldn't stop Black Maria's slaughter.
Black Maria madly slaughtered, memorizing each person's expression at the moment of death.
'Ah... The Lord God was right.'
'They've started to fear me!'
Seeing Black Maria killing more and more excitedly, even somewhat bloodthirsty, Gion slightly raised her delicate brows, "I actually think she's more suitable for the Vampire Fruit than me."
"There's more than one fruit that suits her. Right now we have plenty of Mythical Zoans in hand," Rosse smiled faintly, appreciating Black Maria's killing.
Although very crude, very primitive, also very clumsy, this was still a process of release for Black Maria.
After being suppressed for so long, releasing it all in one breath was also good for her future growth.
"True, after confiscating the families' stockpiles, just the Mythical Zoans alone number more than ten," Gion smiled, "With how she is, that Jorogumo Fruit suits her better."
Jorogumo, a legendary spider that transforms into human form, adept at sucking human blood, and possessing deadly poison.
"That's the one. After this matter is finished, let her consume that fruit. Poison and bloodsucking. Although it has the weakness of fearing fire, overall the Jorogumo Fruit is definitely not weak," Rosse nodded lightly, already having arranged Black Maria's next step.
Since she had chosen him, naturally he must give her the best.
He was not Kaido of the Beasts, so poor he could only give his own people Ancient Zoans.
Under him, as long as one was willing to give loyalty, the Devil Fruit was always the best.
So long as one could prove value, even something of Kaido's Azure Dragon Fruit level, he could hand it out.
"Let her follow me for a while to learn swordsmanship," Gion spoke.
"What's this? In the mood to take on a student?", Rosse joked with a smile.
Black Maria's way of swinging daggers couldn't be called skilled at all. Basically without the slightest method, looking nothing like talent.
Those with talent, even the first time they used a weapon, could handle it with some semblance of skill.
As far as talent went, Gion probably didn't think much of Black Maria.
"Her use of weapons is too clumsy, completely relying on brute force," Gion said bluntly.
The reason she brought it up was simple: right now Rosse had many top combat powers he could mobilize, but not many who could teach.
Black Maria's future path should be the combination of weapon and fruit.
The fruit was already decided, Zoan-type, Kumo Kumo no Mi, Model: Jorogumo.
Judging by that name, in close combat the sharp spider legs would definitely become her means of attack.
As for swordsmanship, even what Zephyr could teach was not more than what Gion could.
Rosse having more and more strong people who were absolutely loyal only made Gion even happier.
Whether or not she was a swordsmanship prodigy didn't matter that much.
She herself was still young, hadn't reached her own limit yet, and naturally had no thought of having to pass down swordsmanship.
"Haha, she's just a beginner. For today, she's yours. It's about time to begin today's main performance anyway," Rosse nodded with a smile. Since Gion was willing to teach, that was naturally best.
If she hadn't been willing, then he could only personally train Black Maria.
"They've already arrived?", Gion caught the hint in Rosse's words, and no longer paid attention to Black Maria's clumsy performance, instead focusing on Rosse.
Compared to today's main act, Black Maria could only count as a little side dish.
She hadn't forgotten Rosse's true purpose for coming this time.
"They've arrived. Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and Kozuki Oden. Only three, but their sincerity is more than enough," Rosse said with a light smile.
"Kozuki Oden might not dare to take the Flower Capital as the price," Gion frowned slightly.
Right now the Flower Capital showed no sign of evacuating ordinary people, nothing like preparing for a great battle here.
"He might not be able to make that decision, but someone will help him make it," The corner of Rosse's mouth curved up. Since he had chosen to come to the Flower Capital, he certainly wouldn't leave empty-handed.
Since he came, naturally he had to fight, to deliver him a wave of experience.
At this moment, Black Maria had finished cleaning up all the samurai. With joy all over her face, she looked at Rosse as if awaiting praise.
Seeing Black Maria's expression, the corners of Rosse's mouth quietly curled, and he opened his arms toward her.
Black Maria's eyes lit up. Her current appearance could hardly be called good. Covered in blood and filth, half her golden hair matted with gore, her face full of bloodstains.
But Rosse's manner clearly showed he didn't mind at all.
His eyes held boundless satisfaction and joy. Black Maria rushed forward, leaping into his embrace.
Rosse smiled, hugging her, gently stroking her bloodstained golden hair, without the slightest care or hesitation.
A girl willing to kill for him, what reason could he possibly have not to grant her the greatest affection? [T/N: Some people still hate Yandere. I don't know how.]
