Pirates: The Black Earl

Lovett had imagined more than once, if he was reborn in the mage world tens of thousands of years ago, what should he do most?

It is definitely not to accompany the first generation of Holy Tens to participate in the battle of slaughtering gods, that is too dangerous, and the power of runes is beyond the control of human beings.

But there is one thing created by humans at the same time, and it has brought about great changes for later generations.

That is……

Soul Web!

Ordinary people call it the mage's net and the magic net.

On the surface, it looks like a network system similar to the earth's information age. By connecting some of the soul energy provided by all mages who voluntarily join the soul network, a huge and complex information exchange platform is formed. At the same time, it acts as a supercomputer to provide Mages in need provide additional computing power.

But it is not.

Soul energy is the foundation of life, representing "life" and "death". Gathering such a huge amount of soul energy, to put it in fantasy terms, [gathering the power of all living beings for tens of thousands of years], the soul net has changed from an initial computing tool to the only "human god" that can exist in the world after the God Slaying War. The strength is unfathomable!

It's a pity that its creators didn't expect that the calculation tools built by their own people would evolve to a shocking level later, without leaving any control backdoors, otherwise, with just this human god, his school would be able to dominate the entire mage world.

However, it is precisely because no one can control it, and it cannot even give birth to its own consciousness, so that mages can use it with confidence and boldly, and develop the brilliant and powerful magic civilization later.

If magic is regarded as the "root", then the soul net is the "leaf". The two complement each other and together support a civilization.

In addition to the weird function of "network" and the price of paying the "electricity bill" for soul energy, the soul net actually has a special effect.

Since it is a bridge built by soul energy, it can transmit soul energy across the air, and the essence of spells is also obtained by spiritual power, the soul energy, doing work according to the law, so...

It can transfer spells through the air!

"Follow the network cable to kill you" is no joke in the mage world.

Of course, the world of One Piece cannot find so many mages to provide energy for the soul net.

But fortunately, Lovett did not expect to reproduce the miracle of the soul net,

He only needs to achieve two goals.

One, information exchange; two, transmission of souls!

...

Questra, the underground black market.

The crowded black market is a thing of the past, and now there is only silence. The cracks in the stone slabs were clogged with moist red soil, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

When Lovett walked into the hall, dozens of disgraced guys had already gathered inside.

"..."

The bodyguard stood up, and his tall and burly body smashed through the wooden boxes stacked beside him, and came to Lovett.

"Is it all here?"

He nodded.

"That's good."

Putting away his staff, Lovett sat on the chair brought by the bodyguard, double overlapping.

"It's the first time we meet, let me introduce myself first, Earl Xiahei, an insignificant newcomer to pirates."

grunt!

The crowd swallowed their saliva in unison, this joke is not funny!

The newcomer is indeed a newcomer, but Earl Hei is now one of the princes in the martial arts world, and he is also a famous figure in the world!

Seeing that they didn't speak, Lovett didn't care.

No one dared to speak easily after being guarded by the bodyguards for so long. The appearance of this guy when he killed people was much more visually impressive than the butler.

So Lovett continued.

"To tell you the truth, you are all garbage and scum at sea."

"Especially you, the waste of the Baroque Works... Your boss was defeated by me, and the entire cadre regiment was wiped out. This sea has no place for you."

Since you choose to betray, of course you must carry it through to the end.

So Nicole Robin resolutely handed over all the hidden bases of the Baroque Work Agency she knew, and Questella was one of them.

Lovett's defeat of Crocodile to become Wuhai is not a big deal to these low-level personnel. They don't know that the boss of Baroque Works is Sand Crocodile, and they are still operating secretly according to orders.

But now I know, but it's too late to regret.

"But I'm willing to give you a chance, because in my eyes, you still have value."

As soon as the topic changed, the crowd became restless, and their desperate eyes gradually brightened.

Boom!

The housekeeper who came here at some unknown time brought a large cauldron and opened the lid. The inside was densely packed with red blood sarcoid spheres the size of a baby's fist. The surface of the spheres was covered with short and thick tentacles, wriggling like living things.

They were startled by the horrific scene, and they all looked at Lovett with unconcealed fear.

"This is a double insurance, eat it and use it for me, or die now and become one of them."

Lovett didn't talk nonsense, and pointed out his purpose: "You choose for yourself."

Do we have a choice?

One day is enough for them to understand the gap in strength, and Crocodile's defeat made the Baroque Work Club even worse. If you don't surrender, you will die, but if you surrender, you may live.

"I... I am willing to surrender."

A junior member stood up tremblingly and stepped out of the queue.

He came to Lovett and looked at the cauldron: "Eat... Is it enough to eat it, Mr. Black Earl?"

The blood tumor ball looked disgusting, but when he got closer, he realized that the smell was not unpleasant, but it was similar to the octopus sashimi they often eat, with a faint smell of sea water.

In this regard, Lovett smiled and said: "Yes, eat it, let me control your life and death, and at the same time, you will also gain great power and become strong!"

Exchanging life for strength is not a bad deal at all, not to mention that Earl Hei can defeat the sand crocodile, and it is more promising to follow him.

"Fight!"

The man gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed a blood sarcoma ball, then closed his eyes, opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Ugh!!!"

The next moment, he suddenly fell to his knees, curled up in pain.

The blood sarcoma ball did not enter the stomach pouch along the esophagus, but pierced through the flesh and rushed into his body, swimming between the blood and internal organs, reaching the heart.

Then...

Dao Dao tentacles stretched out, grabbing his heart and strangling hard!

Crack!

Amidst the broken sound that outsiders could clearly hear, his pupils dilated, and he fell to the ground with a "plop".

"Dead... dead?"

The rest of the people watched this scene in horror, thinking that Lovett was playing with them, and suddenly felt desperate.

But the next second...

"Ho!!"

The "corpse" lying on the ground gasped suddenly, and straightened up. He staggered and stood up, touching his heart with a face full of horror.

"I……"

Plop, plop! Recommended reading//

The heart was still beating vigorously, as if it was all an illusion just now.

but……

Click!

He clenched his fists hard and felt the powerful force gushing out of his body. He knew that it was not an illusion. Something replaced his heart, making him full of energy and energy.

Looking at Lovett, an indescribable connection suddenly appeared in his mind. He didn't open his mouth, but a voice that only two people could hear appeared in his mind.

"grown ups?"

"It looks like you succeeded."

Seeing this, Lovett smiled in satisfaction, and waved him to back away. He nodded silently, with fanaticism in his eyes, and followed the black knight.

Immediately, Lovett looked at the others and tilted his head: "What are you waiting for?"

One stone can start a thousand waves!

The crowd immediately reacted and flocked forward like crazy.

"Don't grab it, it's mine!"

"Bastard! Do you want to die? Let go!"

"My lord, I ate, I ate!"

In response, Lovett stepped back to make room.

The scene in front of him looked like huskies flocking to dinner, and he had a wicked smile on his face: "Don't snatch it, everyone has a share... You will leave with them in the future, and you will also bring other members of the Baroque Work Club into it." Come in."

Hearing this sentence, everyone suddenly woke up.

yes!

Not only myself, but other members of the Baroque Work Club also have no bosses, and some will express themselves in the future.

As a result, the messy team became orderly, and everyone lined up one by one to get their own share.

"Ugh!!"

"It hurts...!"

Soon, the blood sarcoma balls continued to parasitize their bodies, making him "resurrected from death", but after everyone woke up, their fear of Lovett turned into fanatical admiration.

At the same time, they also felt that they seemed to be able to talk to other people without opening their mouths.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"Don't make noise, why are you yelling so loudly?!"

"Is this the ability of adults? We have become phone bugs now?!"

"Hey, why can't I connect to him?"

"I don't know, it seems that you need to know the frequency of the other party to make a call."

"Isn't that the phone bug?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. A large group of low-level outcasts from the Baroque Work Agency blinked at each other. They obviously didn't say a word, but they made expressions of sudden realization from time to time.

In places they couldn't see, strips of scarlet light extended from the heart, continuously building on the red lines pulled out from other people's chests, forming a complex spider web.

But the farther the distance was, and there were no other red wires around to bridge it, the dimmer the glow of the crimson band and the fainter the signal.

"Sure enough, the number is still needed. The more base stations, the farther the transmission distance will be."

Lovett nodded silently. He was pleasantly surprised that the simple soul network can still function normally.

The current soul net can only be regarded as a prototype at best, covering an area comparable to an island, but he believes that this big net will one day cover the entire ocean. //

Until then……

There's just so much he can do.

Clap!

Slapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, Lovett looked serious: "From today, the Baroque Work Agency officially changed its name to the Baroque News Agency, turning from the dark to the bright...and your first task is to turn the other Members of the organization are also brought into this network family."

"Don't let me down."

Hearing this, everyone looked frenzied: "Yes!!!"
