Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Thorn-"

"boom--"

"Stop her! Stop her! Quick!!!"

Iluria Kingdom, the capital, the once prosperous streets were now in ruins, with broken limbs, blood, soldiers fleeing in panic, the roar of guns and cannons, miserable cries... constantly wandering over the capital.

The invincible Royal Guards were completely stunned. Before this, they had never thought that there was a human force that could stand up to an army! And it was a one-sided crushing victory!

The army, which was originally meant to maintain the dignity of the royal family, now completely abandoned the dignity of the kingdom! They could only allow the dancing blood-red rose on the battlefield to trample on them!

“Hahaha~ More! More! Let’s keep dancing! Hahaha!!!”

A deep black fog kept wandering on the battlefield, with a corner of bright red hair appearing from time to time, and a huge blood-red sickle was like a blooming rose, lifting up one red petal after another.

Accompanied by the girl's wild laughter like silver bells, the soldiers on the battlefield fell down one after another like mowing the grass. The road leading to the palace was already a mess, and the road paved with blood seemed to be offering a grand welcome ceremony for someone who was about to come!

At this time, Runti and Yamato, who had followed Lilith to "capture the king and the thief", were already frozen in place. Although they were here to solve the trouble of the royal family,... they had never expected such a brutal scene!

The situation...seems to have gotten out of control?!

"Hey, Yamato, Lilith was like this when she was fighting before..."

Runti quietly tapped Yamato's shoulder and asked in a stiff tone.

"Um... Although she used to fight like crazy, this is the first time I've seen her like this..."

Yamato tilted his head and said uncertainly.

"Should we also go up and help distract her? Or try to calm her down temporarily? I feel like if this continues, something bad will happen..."

Runti pointed at a slowly wriggling blood-red ball in the air and said with some concern.

At first, Runti didn't notice it, but in just a moment, the blood ball grew rapidly almost visibly, and the blood on the entire battlefield was continuously flowing into it. Moreover, as time passed, the aura emitted from it became more and more dangerous!

Her intuition told her that if it was allowed to grow to its peak, things would definitely get bad!

"Hmm... you do have a point. Besides, if we really use this bloody place to welcome Xiao Bai, no one would be able to adapt..."

----Dividing line------

At the same time, on a high tower not far from the palace.

"This is really... Where did this crazy, cruel guy come from? I thought I was already amazing to be called the Devil Sheriff, but in front of this red-haired girl, I am really nothing~"

Lafayette folded his wings and stood firmly on the top of the spire, holding his slender sword across his chest to maintain his balance. His face, which usually wore a mask-like smile, was now filled with deep surprise.

"Fortunately, I escaped early. Otherwise, if I were really entangled by this crazy guy, it would take a lot of effort to get away. Maybe the ability I have been hiding would be exposed...

I don’t want to draw attention to myself before the right time comes.”

Lafayette breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that ever since he obtained the devil fruit, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds, especially his hypnotic ability, which had made a qualitative leap in the hypnosis technique that he inherited from his father!

After all, this sea has to speak with strength, and such power gives Lafayette the capital to put into practice the ideals, or ambitions, that have always been hidden in his heart!

That is, to overthrow this hypocritical sea with violence! Let everything return to chaos, and then the true king will reshape everything! Finally, build a brand new world!

Before I find the true king, I'd better lie dormant for a while. The Kingdom of Iluria is just a short stop. After staying here for such a long time, it's time to leave. There are many countries in this sea that can create chaos!

"Hey~ May your life be better~ Iluria's royal family, I hope that after this baptism, you can still leave some bloodline behind!"

Pretending to be kind-hearted, Lafayette prayed silently, then raised his white wings again and prepared to leave.

However, a sudden question made him freeze to the ground.

"Look who I found? The devil sheriff, Lafayette?

Hehe~ Could you please tell me what happened in the capital? I feel the atmosphere there is somewhat familiar~"

"!!!"

The sudden appearance of a strange breath behind him immediately made Lafayette's alarm bells ring. His face darkened and he quickly flapped his wings and flew into the air, trying to keep a safe distance from the other party.

However, to Lafayette's surprise, the other party did not choose to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, but stood firmly in the center of a black fog with his hands behind his back. His white figure was particularly conspicuous against the deep darkness.

"Who are you......??"

Lafitte stared at the mysterious figure opposite him, and his vigilance reached its peak.

Nine tails? And strange black smoke? Who is this guy? How could he approach me so quietly? If he hadn't said anything, wouldn't he have been able to kill me easily?

At this moment, no matter how confident Lafayette was in his own strength, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Hehe~ I'm just asking about the current situation, why are you so nervous~"

Yakumo Bai smiled and landed on the spot where Lafayette had just stood, his expression full of relief.

The Dark-Dark Fruit was indeed useful. With the attraction of mutual repulsion, it could achieve an effect similar to suspension. The black mist just now was a direct manifestation of this.

After covering his entire body with dark water and completely concealing his aura, his stealth effect was even more amazing. Just now, he was not even discovered even when he flew behind the other party...

Maybe we can develop a dark space later? Something similar to the effect of another space~

"Tsk!"

Hearing this, Lafayette frowned. No matter what the other party's purpose was, this guy already had the ability to threaten his life! This had already crossed the red line!

It is not a wise choice to put yourself at such a risk!

"Pretend to fight him, and then look for a chance to retreat! Really... why are all the troublesome guys I met today!"

If he hesitated, he would be defeated, not to mention facing such a dangerous guy. Thinking of this, Lafayette flapped his wings violently, and the staff sword in his hand flashed a sharp cold light and stabbed towards Yakumo Bai fiercely. At the same time, the hazy murmur caused the air to fluctuate and passed over Yakumo Bai's figure, and it seemed that the whole area became blurred.

“Ah, ah, ah, I was just asking a question, why did you resort to violence? And... this annoying sound... doesn’t work on me~”

He raised his eyebrows helplessly, and a group of invisible silk threads and strange black mist emerged from Yakumo Bai's hands.

Under Lafayette's suspicious gaze, he almost lost control of himself in an instant. At the same time, a hand wrapped in black mist had already covered his body...

Under the effect of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the power of the Devil Fruit was no longer able to be maintained, the wings disappeared without a trace, and the hazy mumbling also disappeared. Lafayette could only watch himself being strangled by Yakumo Shiro, no longer able to struggle.

"Why don't you just answer my questions? Why do you have to force me to experiment with new abilities?"

Yakumo Shiro said with some annoyance,

"Now, can you calm down a bit? Devil Sheriff Lafayette? Tell me now. What happened in the palace?"
