"It's a little familiar, I think I've seen it on the bounty order."

"The new bounty order, the pirate who offered a bounty of 30 million Bailey, Monchi · D. Luffy? ”

"No wonder this person is so strong, the captain's bounty is only eight million!"

Hearing Tang Sen's self-introduction, the doubts in the pirates' hearts were suddenly relieved a lot, most of them had seen the strongest person was only their captain, and the pirates with a bounty of 30 million Bailey were already big names for them.

At this time, Luffy had not yet made a name for himself in the New World, and the pirates naturally didn't know what kind of abilities Luffy had, so they easily took the right seat.

Tang Sen waited for a moment, not feeling the new Dark Lord mark appear, he frowned slightly, and walked to the front of the queue again.

"So, what's your choice?"

The pirate who was questioned looked at the face that belonged to Luffy, and then at the person who narrowly escaped his life, and hurriedly shouted, "Of course it's surrender!" Luffy-sama, I'm willing to be loyal to you! ”

The Dark Lord's sigil instantly appeared on his arm.

Townsen's pupils shrank suddenly.

OK?

Can it really be?

"So, even if I disguise myself as someone else, as long as I meet the condition of loyalty from the heart, I can generate the Dark Lord Mark?"

Townsend had just wanted to give it a try, and wasn't hopeful about the outcome of this experiment, but—

I seem to have underestimated the Dark Lord's Mark feature.

"Once the Dark Lord's mark is given, it cannot be erased, and it will not regenerate the heart of betrayal, if so, then wouldn't I just become someone else's identity, and I can harvest other people's loyalty at will?"

"If you become Kaido, you can have the loyalty of the Hundred Beast Pirates, and if you become Whitebeard, you can have the loyalty of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Even, if I become an admiral, I can directly plant the Dark Lord mark on most of the navy?"

Townessen's heart pounded.

But he quickly suppressed these agitated fantasies and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"No, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"The imprint of the Dark Lord is given regardless of distance, and at this moment, there must be a heartfelt response to Meng Qi · D. Luffy's loyal people, then these people should be eligible for the Dark Lord Mark, but in fact, I don't feel that there are more Dark Lord Marks at all. ”

"Even among the pirates in front of me, only the one in front of me has been given the mark of the Dark Lord."

"But when I used Mr. Red's face just now, two pirates were instantly given the Dark Lord mark."

Townsend waved for the pirate to step aside, and then continued to ask questions to the next pirate.

The pirate shouted that he was willing to surrender, but the Dark Lord's mark did not form, and he was silently torn to shreds after waiting for a long time.

"Not everyone has the ability to be loyal to others."

Townsend was not surprised by such a thing, for example, even in the face of fear and death, he would never have the idea of being loyal to others from the heart.

Soon, Townsend tested two more pirates, and finally, one of them had the Dark Lord mark on his arm again.

He looked at the pirates still waiting at the back of the queue, and suddenly his heart moved.

"These pirates have already lost their courage, in fact, there is no need for me to take the initiative to ask, as long as the pirates with the quality of loyalty should already meet the conditions for generating the Dark Lord Mark."

"So-"

Tang Sen thought about it, threw away the straw hat on his head directly, and changed back to his original appearance again.

In an instant, several Dark Lord sigils were generated directly on the arms of the pirates who had not yet been questioned.

"I see."

Townsend narrowed his eyes.

"I finally figured out why."

[Trait: Mark of the Dark Lord.] 】

Anyone who offers loyalty to you from the bottom of their hearts will be given the Dark Lord's Mark. 】

"The key to giving the Dark Lord the Mark is not just heartfelt loyalty, but also a key point, which is 'to me.'"

"The object of allegiance must be directed to me."

"I can be any identity, any image, not even appear in front of them, just a name pointing to me, can trigger the conditions that give the Dark Lord the seal."

"However, after I changed into Monchi. In the case of D. Luffy, this point becomes blurred, because this identity and image are not unique, it can point to me, or it can point to the real Luffy. ”

"Those of these pirates who can be given the Dark Lord's mark are loyal to Monchi. D. Luffy, so the Dark Lord Mark was not generated, unless there is one case-"

"I personally intervened to make it point to me."

This can also explain why in the case of Luffy, only those who have communicated with him have been given the Dark Lord mark accurately, and the others, even if they have feelings of loyalty in their hearts, cannot be generated.

Because in this case, the direction is not clear.

And when you change back into your original appearance, the point is instantly clear and unique, so you don't need to interfere with yourself, and you can instantly generate the Dark Lord Mark.

"Therefore, it is impossible to become a marshal and directly gain the loyalty of the navy."

"I have to appear in front of the Navy in person, and personally interfere with the Navy's perception of loyalty, so that they can generate the Dark Lord Mark."

"Moreover, my ability to transform into someone else comes from the Faceling's potion sequence, although it can easily allow me to transform into other people's faces and bodies, but this ability has a limit, I can make my body taller or shorter by a tenth at most I remember that whether it is the Admiral or most of the Four Emperors, they are all more than three meters tall."

As for the Transfiguration abilities learned in the world of Harry Potter. Unfortunately, Transfiguration cannot be applied to oneself, and the only Transfiguration magic in that world that can transform oneself is the Animagus, an animal that has been learned, and the Animagus, who must be born with a transfiguration that transforms oneself.

Otherwise, the compound medicine would not be so precious, and there would be no need to be researched.

"Maybe when I devour the extraordinary properties that allow me to change my size at will, such as the bird snake. It's a pity that you can't eat it. ”

Tang Sen rubbed his eyebrows.

Calm down and think about it, the characteristics of the Dark Lord's mark are not so perverted, at least it is difficult to do the things that he fantasized about before, and it is not easy to perfectly disguise himself as a person.

Not to mention the problem of deformation, the strong people in this world generally have the ability to see and hear the domineering, this ability can make the strong become extremely keen, and perceive any subtle changes, whether it is the ability of the faceless man, or the ability to create illusions, I am afraid it is difficult to hide the induction of seeing and hearing the domineering.

Townsen's strength lies in the fact that he is good at controlling his emotions no matter what the situation, he is not so caught up in fantasy that he does not put himself in the right position and acts irrationally, nor is he so immersed in loss that he ignores his own strengths.

"It's not quite the same as I imagined, but anyway, it's good news that you can trigger the Dark Lord's mark even if you disguise yourself as someone else."

"In this way, I can have more room for maneuvering in my procurement plan in this world."

"Perhaps, the goal could be set a little higher."

Townsend had originally intended to limit the mission of this world to the Kingdom of Alabastan, and not to contact those who were too powerful, but now it seems-

As long as you plan well, with the Hailou Stone Wrench and the Dark Lord's Mark, you may not be able to do more in a year.

After several experiments, Tang Sen almost figured out the trigger conditions of the Dark Lord's mark, he looked at the pirates who had been endowed with characteristics, pointed at a person at random, and said calmly:

"Since you have chosen to be loyal to me, you will not refuse my command, will you?"

The pirate shuddered and hurriedly said, "Of course, Luffy-sama!" ”

"Good." Tang Sen didn't correct the other party's title, his mind moved, and the silence next to him expanded abruptly.

"So, could you please come over and let Daisy tear you apart?"

The pirate was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening.

"Lord Luffy, didn't you say that as long as you are loyal, you will spare my life?"

"That's right." Tang Sen was expressionless and said, "That's why I let you take the initiative to die." ”

"After all, I'm not going to let you scum become my followers from beginning to end, and your point is just to be a test subject."

"N-no!" The pirates turned in horror and ran.

Tang Sen watched this scene silently.

"Therefore, the Dark Lord's mark cannot affect human nature, and make people become puppets who obey their words."

Tang Sen reopened his mouth and said, "Stop." ”

The pirates unconsciously slowed down and looked behind them hesitantly.

"You refused my orders, so are you going to betray me?"

"No, it's not like that, Luffy-sama!" The pirate shouted in a panic, "I don't want to die, I mean I'm willing to do anything for you, but. Don't kill me! ”

Tang Sen stared at the other party's expression, and did not see any hatred in the other party's expression.

"Even in the face of such a ruthless order, the other party's reaction is only to run away, and not to feel hatred?"

"This is clearly the effect of the Dark Lord's Mark."

"Therefore, the person who is engraved with the Dark Lord's mark will not be solidified to the highest level of loyalty, and what the Dark Lord's mark guarantees is a bottom line, a bottom line that the other party will never betray."

"Of course, the bottom line is high enough to make people obey in ordinary matters, but for these pirates, the current level of loyalty is not enough for them to die generously for themselves, and the fear of death in his nature is far greater than his loyalty to me."

This situation did not come as a surprise to Townes, in fact, Townsend did not think it was a bad thing.

Rather than being completely foolish to himself and not thinking for himself, Townsend thinks it is more useful for followers to retain their own nature.

"Well, the trial is over."

Tang Sen's mind moved, and the dragon's massive wings obscured the mercury-like moonlight.

Flames spawned out of thin air, and Townsen's figure appeared between the dragon's horns above the dragon's head.

He felt for the permanent pointer of Alabastan.

"Let's go, Smaug."

The dragon's wings led a hurricane into the sky.

And underneath, silently swelled to the limit, completely swallowing the pirate ship into it.

"We're going to usurp the country."

"It's hot."

The sea breeze swept through the curtains of creaking restaurants, making the already stuffy interior of the space even more uncomfortable, and everyone's faces were wet.

Townsend sat in the corner, gulping down his food as he unfolded the newspaper in his hand.

This is the port city of the Kingdom of Alabastan, Dalla Roha.

At Smaug's speed, it didn't take much time to get from where the pirate ship was to Alabastan, and even when Townsend set foot on the sands of this desert kingdom, it was just getting dark.

It's already buzzing here, though.

After all, Alabastan was a superpower in the first half of the Great Shipping Route, with an area of more than a million square kilometers and a population of tens of millions, which was naturally famous throughout the surrounding seas, and the perfume of Dalla Roha was famous all over the world, attracting countless merchants.

Naturally, it has also attracted the care of countless pirates.

"The number of rebel troops has reached 700,000."

Townsend silently read the contents of the newspaper in his mind: "The kingdom of Alabastan is in danger, and civil war is on the verge of breaking out. ”

"It seems that the plot of the original work has not yet begun, which is good news."

Townsend clearly remembers the plot line of the original work.

Alabastan is a desert country, there is a perennial shortage of water, and in recent years, there has been no rain at all, resulting in the misery of most of the people in this country, and many people suspect that the lack of rain is caused by the use of "dancing powder" in the royal capital by the king of Alabastan.

Dancing powder, also known as rain powder, can artificially produce rainwater, but the side effect is that it can cause drought in other parts of the surrounding area all year round.

So, the people, under the leadership of a leader called Kosha, formed an insurrectionary army.

Of course, this is only superficial intelligence, in fact, the source of all this is the ambition of a pirate - the sand crocodile Klockdahl.

He and the "Baroque workshop" he secretly controlled secretly guided all this.

And the princess of Alabastan, Nephilutari Vivi, sensed that something was wrong and went undercover into the Baroque studio, and finally discovered the secrets of the Baroque studio and Klockdahl's intentions, so she asked Luffy and his gang for help.

With the help of tireless efforts and plot kills, Luffy defeats Klockdahl and ultimately saves the country.

"I'm not the main character, there's no way to do sit-ups like Luffy, and there's no way to have any plot kills."

Tang Sen pondered, "Moreover, a person like Klockdahl will never meet the conditions for giving the Dark Lord the Seal. ”

"So, the only advantage I have over Klockdahl is Hailou Stone."

"Maybe I can wait for Luffy to defeat Klockdahl before I intervene?"

Townsend shook his head, dismissing the idea.

"If my procurement target is only on Alabastan, I can try this, but if I want to go further, then the power of Klockdahl and the identity of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas are indispensable."

"After all, I can't afford to miss the war on top."

I'm sorry for the delay today, a little less.
