Kalifa becomes a vampire's subordinate, shocking the supreme commander of the entire army, Sengoku!
After the initial embrace, Lorn officially declares his ownership of Kalifa.
Kalifa indeed possesses a unique charm. As the saying goes, 'Clothes make the man.' At this moment, Kalifa is wearing a yellow top paired with a black skirt, and compared to her previous appearance, she looks stunning!
Considering that they are currently at Galley-La Company, Lorn naturally kept his distance, stopping the conversation at just the right point. Additionally, there was another, deeper reason... Lorn was still interested in the sisters. He wanted to conquer both Kalifa and Kalifa together. As two elegant and cold rose agents of the World Government, the two sisters would be even more captivating together than they are separately. Flying solo might be enjoyable, but sisters flying together is double the joy and happiness! How could that be the same?
"Hmph?"
"Awake…?"
Looking at Kalifa lying in his arms, her previous aloofness had disappeared. As Lorn had discovered earlier, becoming direct blood relatives through the initial embrace would change a person's personality. At that moment, Lorn felt it again. The Kalifa before him no longer had any arrogance.
"Master… What's happening to me?"
After regaining consciousness, Kalifa looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Lorn.
"Hahaha!"
"Nothing!"
'Maybe you just haven't got used to it yet!'
'But for now, remember this: you are my direct blood relative and a member of the entire vampire clan!'
Lorn smiled faintly. Although he had stopped short earlier, the initial embrace was now complete. At that moment, Kalifa was a vampire through and through! There was no doubt about that. In the original story, the vampire king Alucard developed a direct blood relative called Seras Victoria, also known as the police lady. And now, Lorn had successfully created an Agent Lady!
"In the coming days, adapt to this powerful physique and strength!"
'You already have a solid foundation. You were trained by the World Government's elite forces and selected as the best of the best.'
Your potential is immense!'
This isn't just empty talk; it's the cold, hard truth. In fact, it's exactly as he said. She possesses speed and strength far surpassing that of ordinary humans, the ability to heal her own body and the basic vampire ability to survive as long as her heart remains intact. All of these abilities are already within her grasp. What special abilities she will develop in the future depends on her own growth trajectory.
"I understand, Master!"
Under the overwhelming pressure of the Blood Contract, the once arrogant and domineering World Government agents now bowed respectfully!
'If I'm not mistaken, those guys from Lucci must be up to something again.'
'I'm looking forward to your performance, Kalifa!' Lorn smiled and glanced at Kalifa beside him.
'I know what to do, Master!' Kalifa smiled faintly.
Rokuya nodded in satisfaction. At that moment, he couldn't help but acknowledge the power of the blood contract and the bloodline suppression abilities of vampires.
After another round of exploration, the two of them disembarked. The outskirts of Water 7 were shrouded in darkness at that moment. The sky was grey and gloomy. The Water God Incident was about to unfold.
CP9's actions and the pirates' stirrings
Meanwhile, in a dimly lit room in the city, Lucci and his two colleagues, having failed to contact Kalifa several times, ultimately decided to take action first. Opportunity knocks but once. If Lorn were to leave Water 7 and face the World Government's pursuit, the consequences would be unbearable! Therefore, after making the necessary arrangements, they changed into undercover agent attire and began their operation to capture Lorn.
Meanwhile, on the open seas, news of Lorn's whereabouts in Water 7 had spread like wildfire, though the source of the leak remained unclear. Pirates across the Grand Line were excited. After all, in their eyes, Lorn was a walking treasure trove. Not only that, but he was also a blank slate with no background or combat record; before being so publicly bounty-hunted by the World Government, he had no fame whatsoever in the Grand Line.
People flock where there is profit and scatter where there is none. People die for wealth and birds die for food.
Therefore, those who acted quickly had already set sail towards Water 7! Of course, Lorn was unaware of this, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. To Lorn, most people would eventually end up as mere corpses in the river of death.
The shock of Sengoku and his generals
Meanwhile, it was already past quitting time at the Navy Headquarters. However, the entire office building was still incredibly noisy. In the office of Navy Admiral Sengoku, the admiral looked shocked as he slowly put down the telephone bug. He had just received a phone call. The information was so overwhelming that Sengoku's mind couldn't process it immediately.
Sitting at his desk with his eyes closed, he tried to make sense of it all. After more than a minute, he slowly began to relay the information from the call.
'Gekko Moria and his zombie army have been completely annihilated. As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moria is confirmed dead!"
Upon hearing this, the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters (Kizaru, Aokiji and Akainu), Garp, Tsuru and the others in the office were all stunned and deeply shocked. As one of the Five Elders of the World Government, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn had ordered the Seven Warlords of the Sea to keep a close eye on Law, so the Navy Headquarters had naturally contacted each of them to make arrangements. Most of them were successfully contacted and informed of the World Government's stance, except for Gekko Moria. Sengoku finally sent Bartholomew Kuma to deliver the message in person to Gekko Moria, who had not been contacted for a long time. But he never expected to bring back such news!
Sengoku's face gradually became gloomy and he felt restless; he never expected such a thing to happen at this critical moment. The Seven Warlords of the Sea were recognised by the World Government for their strength. They were all powerful pirates! Despite their differences, Moria was killed so easily that there was no trace of him left, which meant that the other party was even more powerful.
'No matter how powerful Moria was in the past, he shouldn't have ended up like this! This is really too sudden.'
After all, he was the man who fought against Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, in the decisive battle at Wano Country!
Several minutes later, Vice Admiral Tsuru of the Navy finally spoke up.
'Could it be that Lorn did it?'
'If that's the case, that kid's strength... it's not simple!'
Admiral Kizaru scowled.
'Kura la la la la, it's probably him. The Deep Sea Prison isn't far from the Devil's Triangle.'
'And someone unfamiliar with navigation would easily end up there by mistake!'
'Moreover, didn't we say earlier that... Lorn's last known direction of travel before leaving was also towards the Devil's Triangle?"
Therefore, he's likely involved."
Aokiji said lazily, lying on a bench.
'That guy first escaped from Magellan's hands in broad daylight, and now he's defeated one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moria!'
'It seems that Lorn's strength is far beyond our imagination!'
Sengoku said solemnly from his seat at the head of the table. Push City became the strongest man in the prison thanks to the Poison-Poison Fruit.
Gekko Moria is a bit of a slacker, but he's still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Having once fought against Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, he may be down, but he's still got some fight left in him. He may have lost his ambition, but his foundations are still there and he still has his zombie army. Now, he's disappeared in the blink of an eye. It's just too surreal.
"Hmm!"
'I agree.'
'No wonder Saint Jaygarcia Saturn was in such a hurry to issue a warrant for his arrest. I understand a little now.'
Tsuru, the Navy Headquarters' Chief Strategist, took over from Sengoku.
'According to the latest intelligence, the pirates from the first half of the Grand Line's Paradise are all heading towards Water 7!'
'It's suspected that they've discovered Luffy's trail there.'
'The World Government has already dispatched CP agents.'
'Sengoku, the Navy Headquarters must also prepare their forces!'
'Things are going to get lively in Water 7...'
While Sengoku, Tsuru and the others were in the midst of their discussion, an extremely strong old man with a broad chest, yellowish-brown skin and white hair and a beard shaped like the Chinese character for 'mountain' slowly walked into the office. He had a stitched scar below his left eye and was wearing a sleeveless black shirt adorned with medals, a light yellow scarf around his neck and a dark grey overcoat.
He was none other than the former Navy Headquarters Marshal and current World Government Commander-in-Chief, Kong!
'Commander-in-Chief Kong... How did this matter even reach you?'
Seeing the man before him, Admiral Sengoku — the former Navy Headquarters Admiral seated at the head of the table — also sprang to his feet.
The man who had been targeted by Shen He earlier... Ah, here we go... I hit the brakes too hard and didn't have enough gas to get back on the motorway. Shen He said something ambiguous.
I'm too scared to say anything now.
