Chapter 387: Abyss Contract

Holy Land Mary Geoise, the Ancient City of Pan.

Because the Five Elders were still drunk and asleep, Imu's personal attendant, Manmeiya Junzigong, led Saint Saint Saiwen, her legs white and fair, to stop outside the Flower Chamber.

"Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, please enter."

"Thank you." Saint Saint Saiwen stepped into the Flower Chamber.

This was not the first time Saint Saint Saiwen had come to the Flower Chamber; the last time was when he signed the Shallow Sea Contract.

However, the Shallow Sea Contract, as the most basic contract, is the ticket to enter Imu's power network.

The Deep Sea and Abyss Contracts combined, totaling thirteen slots, form the core circle of Imu's rule.

Moreover, the Shallow Sea Contract not only has distance restrictions but can also be broken by severing one's own arm; this is why Imu is so eager to sign the Abyss Contract with Saint Saint Saiwen.

In fact.

Before forming the Shallow Sea Contract with Saint Saint Saiwen, Imu never imagined that everything would proceed so smoothly.

In Imu's life, countless heroes have been witnessed.

Such as the Nineteen Kings of eight hundred years ago, Joy Boy, Davey Jones, and in recent years, Rocks, Luo Jie, and Garp.

These people, like Saint Saint Saiwen, all possessed formidable Conqueror's Haki.

Yet, these people never formed a contract with Imu, nor even entertained the thought of doing so, but Saint Saint Saiwen did form a contract with Imu.

Precisely because of this, Imu feels confused.

Conqueror's Haki is itself a symbol of kingly aptitude, the ultimate embodiment of one's spirit and will.

By common logic, top-tier experts who have awakened Conqueror's Haki could never easily submit to another.

Furthermore, a method of binding as absolute as a contract is tantamount to handing over everything of oneself entirely to Imu's control.

Imu could not figure it out no matter how much he thought, so when Saint Saint Saiwen arrived at Mary Geoise, on one hand, he had the Five Elders appear to entertain Saint Saint Saiwen,

and on the other hand, he possessed a vessel that had never appeared before to observe Saint Saint Saiwen at close range.

Attempting to discover some clues from it.

Who could have expected that the Five Elders were so stupid as pigs, all five completely drunk by Saint Saint Saiwen's drinking, still unconscious and groggy to this day.

And Imu, attached to the vessel, was likewise exposed by Saint Saint Saiwen on the spot.

Imu could only follow the plan.

No matter how abnormal Saint Saint Saiwen might be, as long as the Abyss Contract is formed with Saint Saint Saiwen, the other party will absolutely not be able to break free from control.

This point alone is sufficient.

"My Lord Imu." Saint Saint Saiwen stopped, looking at Imu who was admiring flowers and playing with butterflies.

"Saxi, do not be surprised."

If one sets aside the facts, Imu's behavior of admiring flowers and playing with butterflies in the Flower Chamber for many years looks like that of a woman in every way.

But the fact is—

Saint Saint Saiwen increasingly feels that one cannot simply define Imu's gender as male or female.

Just as Saint Saint Saiwen guessed before, Imu is likely the demon within the Devil Fruit, or perhaps, like the neighboring Love and War Kaguya, is Imu the source of all Devil Fruits?

"Barzab."

Imu's voice is extremely distinctive, sometimes male, sometimes female, sometimes a mix of male and female resonance.

"You are a smart person."

"I, Mu, can pretend that the past events never happened; after forming the Abyss Contract, you will become the number one person under my command."

"Below one person, above ten thousand."

Saint Saint Saiwen grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

"This is the life I pursue."

"My Lord Imu, you know."

"When I was young, I often went hungry; at that time, I thought, if I were born without needing to work or struggle, possessing endless wealth and fair-skinned, beautiful women just by virtue of my bloodline."

"Having the Navy escort me whenever I travel."

"Power, wealth, status... all the beauty and wickedness in the world could be decided by me at will, living above the clouds that mortals can never reach in a lifetime."

"How wonderful that would be."

Having spoken, Saint Saint Saiwen said earnestly.

"I have wanted to become a Celestial Dragon since I was a child."

Saint Saint Saiwen was indeed not lying: everyone hates Celestial Dragons, yet everyone wants to become a Celestial Dragon.

What people hate: is the Celestial Dragons' haughty, high-and-mighty posture.

What people want to become: is that unearned power, that status that makes all things bow.

Having lived two lives, Saint Saint Saiwen has seen through it all long ago.

He wants to overthrow the World Government, not only to overthrow tyranny, but more importantly to break this twisted class barrier.

Why insist on this?

It is only because the current sea makes Saint Saint Saiwen feel unfree, that is all.

Perhaps because Saint Saint Saiwen revealed his "heart's voice," Imu finally put down his guard and began preparing the ritual required to form the Abyss Contract.

"Just like last time, completely empty your mind."

"Okay."

Saint Saint Saiwen took a deep breath, while desperately suppressing inner joy, he thought through all the sad things of his two lives.

Otherwise, he was truly afraid he would burst out laughing.

For others, the Abyss Contract is a shackle plunging into an endless abyss.

But for Saint Saint Saiwen, the demonic power consumed by Imu when forming the Abyss Contract is the supreme elixir for Saint Saint Saiwen's Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Satan Form to complete its ascension.

Commonly known as the Ultimate Blood Bag.

After licking this blood bag, the gap between Saint Saint Saiwen and Im in controlling demonic power will become even smaller.

Even without using the Horse Talisman, he could erase the Shallow Sea Contract on Harald.

Compared to signing the Shallow Sea Contract last time, perhaps because this was the establishment of an Abyss Contract, the time consumed was far longer than Saint Saint Saiwen had anticipated.

A deathly silence fell among the flowers.

Only the dense, ink-like demonic power surged and emerged constantly from around Im, then slowly flowed into Saint Saint Saiwen's body, looking exactly like the internal energy transfer technique in martial arts novels.

And at the same time.

New World, Kari Balidao.

The Morning Star Group cadres led by Mihawk and Master Tenghu, former Luo Jie Pirates' Lei Li and Jabba, Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, Red Count, and the Four Emperors excluding Charlotte Lingling, all gathered at Kari Balidao.

Kaido sat with Whitebeard and Shiki, as if returning to many years ago, the scene of fighting side by side with his two older brothers in God's Valley.

"Why hasn't Saint Saint Saiwen made a move yet?"

Since Yamato and Saint Saint Saiwen signed the marriage contract, Kaido no longer addressed Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, but instead referred to him as Saint Saint Saiwen.

"Wait a bit longer," Whitebeard said in a deep voice, "There is no rush for this moment."

Actually, Whitebeard was extremely depressed; the dream daughter-in-law Saint Saint Saiwen he had longed for for years was actually snatched by this kid Kaido ahead of time.

Regret!!!

Whitebeard only hated that he hadn't accepted Hodye earlier; if he had had little Istal with Hodye earlier, perhaps Saint Saint Saiwen would already be his son-in-law by now.

How could he have been snatched by Kaido?!

And that bastard Kaido tells everyone that Saint Saint Saiwen is his son-in-law.

If it weren't for this critical period, Whitebeard would have made Kaido know no matter what: You, Second Brother White, are forever Second Brother White.

"Think more positively," Shiki comforted.

"When Saint Saint Saiwen becomes the King of the World, just let him marry a few more wives."

The reason Shiki spoke to comfort Whitebeard was that he had his own plans: he intended to find a wife, have several daughters, and then send them all to Saint Saint Saiwen's side.

Saint Saint Saiwen is everyone's son-in-law! How can he be monopolized by Kaido alone?
