# Chapter 684: Lord Imu Wants to See You!
"Phew—has it started?"
Not long after eating the Devil Fruit, Longinus felt his Body rapidly heating up. As the temperature rose higher and higher, a faint red Aura also appeared on his skin.
He was like a human-shaped stove, making the entire Dean's Office warm and cozy.
Yet, he himself didn't feel the slightest pain or discomfort; instead, he felt very warm and comfortable.
But this was just the beginning.
Next, Longinus and Saint Charlos discovered dense, reddish scales shimmering with a fiery Flowing Light began to form on the surface of his hands.
Soon, golden-tinged Dragon Horns grew on his forehead, his ten fingers became thick and long, forming slightly curved, sharp Fingernails at the tips, and a shimmering red Dragon Tail grew from Behind the Waist.
The biggest change in Body Size, however, was a pair of dark red Dragon Wings with many sharp spikes that unfolded behind him before retracting.
"This Strength..."
Longinus, whose Body Size had expanded to over three meters tall, could clearly feel the Strength surging throughout his Body at this moment.
A Thought even arose in his Heart that he was already invincible in the World.
But soon, these thoughts, clearly inconsistent with reality, were suppressed by his firm and powerful Will.
[Puff!]
Suddenly, Longinus raised his Right Hand, which had transformed into a Dragon Claw. Following the Thought in his Heart, five golden-red intertwined flames burst forth from his sharp fingertips.
Immediately after, the flames grew larger and larger, like red Flowing Water, quickly covering his entire Palm.
He could feel that he could throw it out or transform it into some shape at any time.
"Cough cough, alright, if you keep experimenting, my Office will catch fire. You can go to the Open Ground outside later and experiment to your heart's content."
Saint Charlos looked down at the floor speechlessly.
He saw that the originally snow-white, expensive Blanket already had scorched marks and flames on it. He immediately lifted a foot and stomped out the High Temperature Flame on it, without causing any damage to his Leather Boots.
"Yes."
Longinus had no Opinion and immediately restrained the Fire Dragon Fruit Ability.
This caused his Body to rapidly shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, returning to its Original Copy normal appearance in the blink of an eye.
"Your second Graduation Reward is this."
Saint Charlos walked to the wall on the right side, casually took down a Long Sword with a red Scabbard hanging on it, and then placed it horizontally in front of Longinus.
"This is a Bloodthirsty Demonic Blade that Cipher Pol found in a Stone Coffin in the Tomb Ruins of the former Asuka Kingdom on an Island called Asuka Island in the First Half of the Grand Line, sealed for over a thousand years."
"According to the relevant records of the History Research Department of the Proclamation Government Institute, this Ancient Demonic Blade named 'Seven Star Sword' was the Symbol of Kingship of the former Asuka Kingdom. At that time, the three Princes, in order to win the love of a certain Miko and the King's Throne..."
Saint Charlos first recounted the origin and Legend of the 'Seven Star Sword'.
Then, he spoke about the part Longinus was most concerned about.
"Through multiple tests by the Academy of Science, the Ability of this 'Seven Star Sword' is roughly divided into several types."
"First is absorbing Human Blood, which both restores the User's Injuries and Physical Ability, and also replenishes an Eerie Green Energy for the Blade."
"This Eerie Green Energy has two effects."
"One is that it can make the Blade burst forth with Radiance, causing people whose Line of Sight is swept by the Green Light to have their Consciousness controlled by the User if they don't have a sufficiently firm Will. The manifestation is that the controlled person's Eyes turn red."
"The other is that it can condense into Green High-Temperature Flame when swinging the Blade. This Flame has a certain Corrosive Toxicity towards living Creatures, and also has the Effect of making the Target's Emotions become Irritable."
"Finally, it can also integrate into the User's Body, allowing them to freely Control the Green Light and Green Fire Ability, and they can also take the Sword out from their Palm at any time."
The more Longinus listened, the more surprised he became.
"Doesn't that mean that as long as I have this Seven Star Sword, I can simultaneously possess an Ability similar to a Devil Fruit?"
He felt that this Sword sounded even more powerful than those Supreme Grade Sharp Swords.
"More or less."
Saint Charlos did not deny it, and then immediately said, "However, while possessing these special Abilities, it also poses an extremely strong Danger to the User."
"It will first affect a person's Emotions, and then further Control their Consciousness, turning them into an extremely Bloodthirsty Sword Slave!"
Speaking of this, the Dean of the Celestial Dragon Holy Palace was also very doubtful as to why Lord Imu would give such a strange Cursed Blade to Longinus.
If something unexpected happened, wouldn't it be possible to cripple such a Genius?
Unable to understand it after much Thought, he could only comfort himself with the idea that Lord Imu had his own Principle.
"Emotions? Consciousness?"
Longinus snorted coldly. While fully concentrating, he gripped the red Scabbard without hesitation, then clenched the white Sword Hilt with his Right Hand, and quickly drew out the extremely slender Blade.
[Buzz----]
Instantly, the silver-white Blade, covered with various demonic Markings, trembled while emitting an unsettling, enchanting Green Light.
"Hmm?!"
Without exception, Longinus felt a Mental Energy full of Killing Intent surge into his Brain from the Sword Hilt, following his Right Hand.
It even caused his Eyes to faintly emit a captivating red Aura, looking very terrifying.
Longinus suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated the power of the Seven Star Sword.
This Mental Power, filled with a strong Killing Intent, was like a wave of extremely foul-smelling Human Blood, pounding against his Wall of Will one after another.
And in this process, it was gradually infiltrating.
However.
Facing the scene that was gradually Loss of Control, Saint Charlos merely stood with his hands behind his back, calmly asking the big boy before him.
"Is your Capacity only this much?"
"Are you going to disappoint Lord Imu, Cassius Longinus?"
As soon as the words fell, Longinus's Gaze immediately sharpened.
The next moment.
With a Roar, a surging Aura erupted from his Body like a Wave, and streaks of Dark Red Lightning flickered around him.
Conqueror's Haki!
"Heh heh, not bad."
Saint Charlos, who was less than two meters away from Longinus, merely praised lightly in the face of such a fierce Mental Shock.
At the same time.
The scarlet Aura in Longinus's Eyes quickly faded, and the Seven Star Sword in his hand, emitting Green Light, trembled violently. Its trembling sounded more like a wail.
"Remember this, from now on, I, Cassius Longinus, am your Master! The only thing you should do is submit to me!"
"Seven Star Sword!"
In the Mentalscape of Consciousness, Longinus let out the most Haki and cold Anger towards the Spirit of the Seven Star Sword.
At the same time, the Strength of Conqueror's Haki was like the Deep Sea Water Flow squeezing from all directions, constantly forcing the Spirit of the Seven Star Sword to feel unbearable Pressure and Impact.
After an unknown amount of time.
Whether it was Haki or Green Light, they gradually dissipated and calmed down. Only the various decorations and Documents in the messy Office could still prove how violent the Aura had been just now.
The next second.
Saint Charlos saw the Seven Star Sword slide smoothly into Longinus's Body through his Right Hand Palm, which made him raise an eyebrow.
"You Controlled it?"
"Yes, but I can feel it's very weak now, probably 'hungry'..."
Longinus turned over his Palm, which had no Injuries, and said softly.
"Human Blood, what's so difficult about that? When your Haki gets Stronger and can completely suppress the Seven Star Sword, This Old Man will apply for you to have the Qualification to visit Impel Down. The Blood Mass there should be better."
After speaking, Saint Charlos's face showed a Smile again, and he said, "Now guess, what is the third Reward?"
"This..."
Longinus was stunned. He first glanced at the Dean, who had empty hands, and then his Gaze swept around the Room, not finding anything noteworthy.
"Hahaha, never mind, I'll tell you directly. Next, you are going to a place, or rather, Another World..."
Longinus's pair of clear blue Eyes suddenly narrowed.
"Could it be?!"
"That's right, Lord Imu wants to see you."

As I said before, I won't be doing anti-piracy anymore.
Firstly, because it did cause actual trouble for some Readers, and secondly, I don't want to see complaints anymore, it's annoying.
However, this attempt made me realize that a lot of people are reading pirated copies, because simply posting two anti-piracy Contents can double my Subscription. The depth of this water is unimaginable.
