"Garp... Vice Admiral?! What happened?!"
The Marines were shocked by this unbelievable sight. A huge ruined village was actually taken into Garp's painting in this moment?
Incredible, truly incredible...
Garp, at this moment, was looking at the painting in his hand. Inside, it was clearly the original Pig Cage Village that he had seen, and there were even many people inside.
In the painting, some were doing laundry and cooking, while others were doing hard labor. It was an old painting full of life...
Garp was even more surprised as he looked at this painting. Could it be that the Pig Cage Village he saw before was this painting? Were the people he saw actually people in the painting?
But why did this happen?
From the government official's words when they arrived, the Pig Cage Village was built long ago by some people who fled into the mountains to escape the war. Garp could feel their hardship when he talked to them before, but now...
Such a painting appeared?
How strange, what exactly is this painting that it possesses such magical power?
Garp carefully studied the painting, becoming more and more engrossed. He faintly seemed to hear something, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
At this time, he really envied Roger's Observation Haki, which allowed him to listen to all things.
Garp sighed and was about to put the painting away and study it later when he left, when a line of words suddenly appeared on the painting.
'One step, one sin; one step, one lotus flower'
These ten words appeared at the top of the painting. When they appeared, the entire painting seemed to become much darker, and all the light was focused on these ten words.
"One step, one sin; one step, one lotus flower?" Garp read these ten words, and immediately felt puzzled. This sounded like it had something to do with Buddhism again. He should just throw it to Sengoku later.
This magical painting could not have been created out of thin air.
The three Shikon Jewel pieces that Genichi recently drew, one of which was taken away by Sakaki, and the other one is in this painting.
In addition to making creatures stronger, Shikon Jewel pieces can also be attached to objects, giving them magical effects.
For example, it can be attached to ink, and the monsters drawn with the ink will become real. The principle is the same when he attaches it to the painting.
At this moment, Genichi has gained a lot of negative emotions through these days' events. He already had more than 8.2 million negative emotions when Garp and the others were chasing Barrett, and with the fermentation of the previous events and the appearance of Number Three and Tunfo, he has now reached more than 9 million.
Almost there...
Just a little bit more, and he will reach 10 million negative emotions. When that time comes, he will draw a character at the 10 million level, and after drawing it, he can make arrangements based on the character.
After all, this 10 million character is the demon lord he has internally designated for the future, and he must be extremely powerful. He can't make preparations for the future yet, because he doesn't know what type of 10 million character card he will get next.
Therefore, he can only wait. He will arrange things after he has enough emotional value.
Therefore, in the Ice City, facing Sengoku's arrival, Sakaki, under Genichi's control, did not say much about the current situation.
Instead, he talked about...
The matter of Tunfo!
"At least thousands of years separate you from that time. At that time, the world was still an era of demons and witches."
In the Ice City, the traces of the war have been covered by ice and snow. The military camp where the 'Ice and Snow tragedy' occurred is now empty, and no one is willing to stay here anymore. After seeing the terrifying scene of Sakaki being summoned, people felt genuine fear.
And at this moment, this world has become an ice paradise. In a huge palace made of ice, Sakaki sat on a chair, looking at Sengoku and Ah Xing who came from the south, and said softly,
"At that time, the world was divided into the human world and the demon world. Humans and witches stayed in the human world, and demons were in the demon world. But I don't know what happened, maybe it was the human witches who did it, but in short, the demon world was suddenly struck by a thunderbolt."
"That thunderbolt directly tore the world apart. However, the demon lords of the demon world at that time didn't care about this kind of thing happening at all, because no matter what happened, they wouldn't die."
As a listener, Sengoku listened to Sakaki talking about the demon world. This was all important information.
"However, just when the world was on the verge of destruction, and countless demons were about to die, a person appeared."
"A person?" Sengoku raised his eyebrows.
"A person, but also a demon." Sakaki said in a deep voice, "He was a person before the thunderbolt incident, but became a demon afterwards, because he used his power to hold back the demon world that was about to break apart, sewed the land back together, and then relied on his amazing power and wisdom to become the eighth demon lord on the land of the demon world!"
"...Is he like Toguro? Wanting to become a monster?" Sengoku couldn't help but think of the famous half-demon on the sea. His strength was rare in the world. He has been searching for Shikon Jewel pieces, wanting to use the power of the Shikon Jewel to become a real monster.
Then, isn't the person that Sakaki said transformed into a demon like this too?
"No, he is a natural demon, but also a natural person."
Sakaki leaned back slightly, put his right leg on his left leg, and said faintly, "He was born with a human body, but also with a demon's mind. The origin of him has always been a mystery. No one, demon or human, knows what his real name is. Even his later subordinates only called him..."
Thought Road Guest
"Xi Miec Tian Lai!"
"...What a strange name." Sengoku frowned. He looked at Sakaki's nostalgic look and said, "So, Tunfo is a subordinate of Xi Miec Tian Lai? Then it's troublesome. If such a monster appears, coupled with Zero..."
It's hard to imagine that Xi Miec Tian Lai pieced the demon world that was about to break apart back together. Although don't know how big the demon world is, since it can be compared with the human world where humans live, it shouldn't be small.
How much power would it take to piece such a world back together?
But Sengoku doesn't really care about this kind of mythical story, who knows if it's true.
There is only one question he wants to ask most now...
"Xi Miec Tian Lai..."
Sengoku looked at Sakaki and finally asked his question,
"What is his relationship with Indra?"
