...
Sea Calendar 1518. It was two years before the Son of Destiny, Monkey D. Luffy, set sail.
Inside a golden, beast-like building, located within the Donquixote Family's residence in Holy Land Mary Geoise.
"Bastard! I'll kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
"Please... let me go, I still have children..."
"Devil! You evil devil who deserves to die a horrible death!"
"Please, can I go now? Let me go home... Mama is still waiting for me..."
Sounds of desperate anger, sobbing pleas, vicious curses, and helpless entreaties continuously echoed.
Ten completely naked women were roughly bound to a giant bed, six meters long and wide.
Their hands and feet were shackled by cold chains, and every time they twisted their bodies, the chains dug deeper, leaving bloodstains on their delicate skin.
There was a brown-haired woman with exotic features, her deep eyes filled with terror.
A tall, blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman, her gaze now unfocused.
And a pure, beautiful young girl, her face streaked with tears, helpless and despairing...
Nidhogg, with black hair and golden eyes, was also naked, seemingly oblivious to the women's frantic screams.
A look of satisfaction appeared on his face as he slowly walked to the side.
"Click!"
"Phew—"
Smoke permeated the air. The emptiness combined with the stimulation of nicotine felt exquisitely wonderful at that moment.
Just as Nidhogg was immersed in the pleasure brought by the cigar, a dull thud broke the brief calm.
A woman had fallen onto the hard ground from excessive struggling.
Seeing this, Nidhogg frowned slightly, a hint of impatience showing.
Then, he picked up the pure gold pistol beside him, slowly moving the barrel.
"Bang!"
The bullet hit squarely between her eyebrows, and blood splattered out.
The other women instantly stopped crying and trembled, not daring to breathe.
However, a girl with heterochromia seemed to have completely lost her mind and suddenly shrieked hysterically:
"Quick! Kill me! Kill me!!!"
Nidhogg glanced at her coldly.
"Alright..."
"Bang!"
At this point, only heavy, ragged breathing remained in the room, rising and falling.
The eight women still alive were now completely enveloped by fear, huddled together, their eyes filled with despair.
Suddenly, Nidhogg put down the cigar and pistol in his hand and picked up a repeating rifle, also made of gold, that was beside him.
Nidhogg's fingers gently caressed the gun barrel, his eyes revealing a morbid excitement.
Looking at the trembling people on the bed, a gentle voice slowly emerged:
"Don't be afraid. Everyone who comes here goes through this process."
"Life, well, once you've enjoyed it, that's enough, wouldn't you agree?"
He paused, and seeing no one respond, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Hmm?"
"Why is no one speaking?"
"Weren't you screaming quite a lot just now?"
He shook his head to himself and sighed.
"Ah... what a pity. Four kills in one go, but I'm not in top form..."
As soon as his voice fell.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!"
Bullets rained down, embedding themselves in the women's bodies.
Blood continuously gushed out, dripping through the mattress onto the floor, quickly forming a small pool of blood.
Watching this scene, the almost insane, morbid smile on Nidhogg's face grew even brighter.
In his previous life, he was named Yang Buzheng! A pure wage slave! Three years ago, after a stroke of luck, he transmigrated to the world of Pirates.
He became a member of the Donquixote Family among the Celestial Dragons, named—Saint Donquixote Nidhogg.
Thankfully, he didn't transmigrate into the family of Saint Donquixote Homing, who voluntarily left the Celestial Dragons, otherwise, things would have been truly difficult.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak and pirates run rampant, the identity of a Celestial Dragon was undoubtedly a perfect starting point!
In his first year of transmigration, Nidhogg tried his best to act more like his predecessor, afraid of being discovered.
However, his previous life's communist ideals and so-called morals prevented him from acting with the same tyranny as a Celestial Dragon!
Soon, Nidhogg's father, Saint Donquixote Sivacarello, noticed Nidhogg's abnormality.
But then, that touching paternal love and the drawbacks of inbreeding began to manifest.
Saint Sivacarello, who was slightly intellectually disabled, thought Nidhogg was simply sick...
Otherwise, how could he become as benevolent as a commoner? Instead, his care for Nidhogg grew even stronger.
In his second year of transmigration, Nidhogg completely familiarized himself with the rules of the Celestial Dragons.
His moral bottom line from his previous life gradually collapsed under the Impact of power and desire...
Human nature, at birth, is inherently evil.
Not evil? That's because your power isn't great enough!
That's because if you commit evil, you can't escape punishment!
In his third year of transmigration, Nidhogg completely succumbed.
The collapse of morality was more addictive than anything else in the world!
He reveled in the twisted pleasure of tormenting others!
He reveled in the exhilaration that power brought, allowing him to freely satisfy all his evil desires!
As for everything that just happened? In the Celestial Dragon's circle, it was merely the most common, low-tier game...
Hearing the gunshots from inside the room, a dozen women in uniforms outside neatly walked to the door.
"Knock knock! Knock knock!"
"Master, your clothes are ready."
After receiving Nidhogg's permission, everyone entered the room in an orderly fashion.
Looking at the bloody scene inside the room, not a trace of surprise could be seen in their eyes.
First, they bowed to Nidhogg, respectfully calling out, "Lord Nidhogg Saint."
Then, they skillfully began to clean up, dragging away the bodies and replacing the blood-stained bedding.
The exquisite woman at the head, two meters tall with wavy short hair, respectfully walked to Nidhogg's side, holding a set of brand new luxurious clothes with both hands, her voice gentle and deferential:
"Master, your servant Lilia will help you change."
Nidhogg casually nodded and spread his arms.
"Master, what are your requirements for the next batch of toys? Lilia will send people to the lower world to search immediately."
After helping Nidhogg get dressed, Lilia asked softly.
Nidhogg replied nonchalantly: "You handle it. Just follow your aesthetic."
"Oh, right, see if you can find any other races. You can give that a try too."
"Yes, Master."
Lilia nodded respectfully and smiled, indicating she understood.
Just then, with a crisp "Crack!" a colorful glazed lamp was accidentally dropped and shattered on the floor by one of the female slaves.
Instantly, the woman's face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground in terror, her body trembling uncontrollably, yet she dared not make a sound.
Nidhogg looked at the kneeling woman, his brows furrowing slightly.
"How can you be so careless... I remember when I bought you all, each one cost 500,000 Berries."
"But this lamp of mine... it's one million Berries..."
With a "Bang!" the woman fell into a pool of blood.
Just then, Nidhogg's mind felt as if countless blades were frantically tearing at him! Pain! Unbearable pain!
Seeing this, Lilia's eyes instantly filled with extreme worry.
She quickly helped Nidhogg to a chair, gently pressing his temples.
"Master! Clear your mind!"
This sudden headache occurred roughly once every half month for Nidhogg, and countless top doctors couldn't find the cause.
But fortunately, the pain would slowly disappear after a few minutes of massaging his temples, and no side effects were found.
Just as Lilia was gently pressing, Nidhogg's eyes snapped open!
Because every time Nidhogg's mind was torn by pain, the accompanying dragon roar... had changed this time!
The dragon roar gradually disappeared, replaced by a clear mechanical voice echoing in Nidhogg's mind!
"Ding! Detected that the host has perversely killed 1,000 people over the past three years."
"Preliminary compliance with Celestial Dragon identity. System activated."
"Ding! Esteemed Lord Nidhogg Saint."
"Supreme Celestial Dragon System, at your service ~"
