Such days continued until a year and a half later.
Charlotte Linlin was finally ready to ascend and become a Demon Lord. On this day, the eyes of the entire world turned once again to Totto Land.
During this year and a half, although no major events occurred in Totto Land, it did not fade from people's view.
The New World had gradually been brought completely under its rule, and a large portion of the Fish-Men from Fish-Man Island had migrated to join Totto Land.
These were events that were neither too big nor too small.
The attitude of the World Government was even more difficult to understand. They seemed to have submitted, completely abandoning the New World, and hadn't even sent anyone to infiltrate it.
As for the pirates, they were all circling around the Four Blues and the Grand Line, making the environment there even more chaotic.
Surprisingly, this turmoil wasn't caused by the great pirates, but rather by small-time pirates doing foolish things in their attempts to become Demon Lords.
The Marines became busier because of these matters. Sengoku and Zephyr were promoted to Admirals, while Garp refused the promotion and continued to chase Roger like a mad dog. The two of them ran amok in the Grand Line like natural-born enemies.
The original Fleet Admiral, Kong, had attempted to ascend to Demon Lord using the souls of prisoners in Impel Down, but the final result was obvious.
Speaking of willpower, Kong, who had been Fleet Admiral for unknown years, certainly did not lack it. However, no matter how strong one's willpower is, it is accompanied by rationality. As long as there is a shred of rationality that accepts external information, it will inevitably be overwhelmed by the will of tens of thousands of souls.
Kong's experiment proved once again that to become a Demon Lord, one must possess emotions extreme to the point of madness.
The perspective returned to an unknown deserted island.
Charlotte Linlin had been starving here for a month, and her entire body looked skeletal.
Milim stood at the highest point of the island, looking at Charlotte Linlin with some heartache, but she knew this was the necessary path to becoming a Demon Lord.
The scene here had long been broadcast to the entire world by Morgans. Everyone was watching together to see if the Demon Lord's sister could become the next Demon Lord.
They watched for a whole month, and everyone's gaze towards Charlotte Linlin turned into admiration.
In fact, after Charlotte Linlin had starved for a week at the beginning, her Eating Disorder had already erupted, but she immediately fell into a coma due to her body's conditioned reflex.
She woke up from hunger a day later, then forcibly endured for another week. The Eating Disorder erupted again, and she fainted again.
She endured like this for a whole month. Charlotte Linlin had to let herself fall into absolute hunger and madness to secure her path to becoming a Demon Lord!
"To go to such lengths? It's terrifying just watching it." Rocks, on a deserted island in the Grand Line, watched everything Charlotte Linlin did on the screen and felt a toothache.
However, he wasn't unprepared. Rocks turned to the researcher beside him and asked, "How long until the drug is successfully developed?"
"This kind of drug that thoroughly stimulates brain cells and plunges a person into absolute extreme emotions is very difficult to develop. Moreover, this drug carries great risks; it might even burn a person's brain into mush."
"Also, there is a risk of amnesia after taking it. The human brain is too miraculous; achieving this much is already our limit." The researcher stood aside and said with a somewhat fanatical look in his eyes.
As researchers, they also wanted to create a Demon Lord with their own hands. They had all witnessed that war and the power of a Demon Lord.
That was not something humans could compare to. Even the gods imagined in their minds couldn't compare. It had transcended science and reached the realm of fantasy.
And what researcher could refuse to create a Demon Lord with their own hands?
"No need for such nonsense. If I fail in the end, it just means I was only a man of that level." Rocks's eyes were incredibly firm. Since he had seen a higher peak, how could a greedy man like him not climb it?
After all, his wish had always been the entire world. Now that the world had become bigger, his desires had grown with it.
"Only a year and a half of peace has passed, and now such a big trouble has emerged again. When will we Marines get some good news?" Sengoku held his forehead. He had just become an Admiral, and because of Fleet Admiral Kong's death, the higher-ups wanted him to become the Fleet Admiral.
But before he could make up his mind, someone on Totto Land's side was about to become a Demon Lord.
"Sengoku, we have no way to deal with becoming a Demon Lord. We are used to thinking rationally. We can't induce such extreme emotions, so naturally, we can't become Demon Lords." Vice Admiral Tsuru said calmly, though there was still a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"That's true. The name 'Demon Lord' sounds like it was prepared for pirates, and the method to become one suits the personalities of those lunatics perfectly." Zephyr rubbed his brow. The high-intensity work over these days had long left him exhausted.
"Haha, you never know. What if someone in the Marines emerges who believes in justice to an extreme degree? Extreme justice is also an emotion," Garp said relaxed.
"A Demon Lord! How scary! Truly like a monster."
" The justice of the Marines will definitely have its day of full display."
"Hmph, such evil people will eventually be defeated by justice."
Three voices with different personalities and tones came from three young men.
They were the rising stars of the Marines, the new generation of Super Rookies.
They were:
Borsalino, the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, with a lazy tone laced with a hint of teasing!
Kuzan, the user of the Chilly-Chilly Fruit, with a firm and enthusiastic tone, always believing in justice!
Sakazuki, the user of the Mag-Mag Fruit, with a cold tone carrying hatred for all evil!
Sengoku looked at the three with complex eyes, finally resting his gaze on Sakazuki. Those of them whose edges had been worn smooth could no longer become Demon Lords.
Among these three, Borsalino seemed too lazy and lacked overly extreme emotions. Kuzan was too enthusiastic and sunny; with his personality, he would easily become dispirited once he encountered dark matters!
Only Sakazuki had a cold personality and a determination to destroy all evil, and his emotions were extremely extreme.
Among these three, the one most likely to become a Demon Lord was Sakazuki!
