[Double Ponytails with Attack Speed Boost]
Oh no! The previous content was reported, so I had to keep revising it.
Luffy: I can transform into a giant! Prince Loki: I am a giant! Caesar: I have created giants!!! Spark Jabba: Itmm... [A giant is sitting on me], [I'm inside a giant's cave].
At this moment, Lorn has nothing to do with giants. However, he has grown to a massive size. This is limited to a specific ability.
As for this ghost princess in this gothic-style dress, she is incredibly intriguing! Very smooth! As the possessor of the Vampire King's power, she has bloodsucking abilities and excellent oral skills, right? Not to mention that Perona herself has the 'White Tiger with a Slit in the Sky' attribute.
Currently, they can both float in the air for a short time using their own abilities. They perform various acrobatic moves. Once they get started, they are unstoppable. A fierce battle therefore erupted between Lorn and the ghost princess, a high-ranking member of the Gekko Moria pirate crew, and the battle was extremely intense. Perona's gothic-style dress and twin ponytails significantly increased her attack speed, even triggering "Papa Papa" critical hits! The sound echoed throughout the entire castle. After all, Lorn wields the power of the Vampire King and Perona's sister, the Ghost Princess, couldn't withstand the impact of Lorn's dragon roar. Not to mention the boost to her attack speed from her twin ponytails.
[Featuring Perona artwork!]
Her appearance and performance strike a harmonious balance. Grip the reins and charge forward! In summary: attack, boost attack speed, land critical hits, deal massive damage, recharge and finally master the skill!
Setting sail for a new journey!
Several hours later, a naval warship slowly made its way through the water next to the Thriller Bark. It was Lorn and his crew. Lorn really didn't want to board a naval warship if they hadn't been unable to find a ship. After all, it was far too conspicuous. Moria's pirate ship was simply too enormous, so that wasn't an option either.
On the deck, Lorn formally introduced Perona and the other two women.
"From this moment on, Perona, you are now a member of our blood clan family!" Lorn said with a smile.
Domino and Sadi-chan were naturally thrilled about Perona joining the clan, clapping and cheering, and they made sure to say some flattering things.
'Perona, you have gained new powers, so you need to adapt to them!' 'With your previous powers and your new vampire physique, you have a lot of room for growth in the future!' This means your strength will increase greatly!" 'If you have any questions, you can ask Domino and Sadi-chan,' Lorn said, patting Perona on the head.
'I understand, Master!' Perona nodded with a smile.
After giving some other instructions, the three women entered the cabin too. Having just become a vampire, Perona wasn't used to the sunlight and didn't like the daytime. Lorn naturally knew this and understood. However, Lorn wouldn't! In the original storyline, Alucard was one of the oldest vampires and possessed god-like power. He was not only immune to sunlight, but also unaffected by holy water, crosses and stakes — traditional weaknesses of vampires. This setting highlighted his fundamental difference from other vampires. Even Alucard frequently moved freely during the day, deliberately standing in the sunlight to fight — as in his battle against the Valentine brothers — proving that it posed no threat to him. As for ordinary vampires (such as 'ghouls' or newborn vampires), they may still fear sunlight. Alucard's servant, Seras Victoria, also gradually became immune to sunlight after becoming a true vampire. Alucard's servant, Seras Victoria, also gradually became immune to sunlight!
Bloodline Bonds and Future Plans
'It will take some time to get used to this!' Lorn murmured as he watched the three women leave.
Regarding the development of direct bloodline followers after the initial embrace, Lorn noticed changes in human personalities compared to before. The extent of these changes is unclear, but it is certain that they differ from before. Currently, they seem to fall somewhere between the original personality and a completely reshaped one. At least, this is how Lorn perceives Sadi-chan, Domino and Perona at present.
As for the development of bloodline descendants, the bloodline creates complex emotional dependencies and obedience through the 'blood bond'. This is evident in Perona's current obedience and respect for Lorn. Lorn possesses the power of the Vampire King Alucard and has extremely powerful bloodline suppression over Perona and the others. As for the essence of the Blood Contract, Lorn has gradually figured it out. When the Blood Clan transforms humans into vampires through the 'first embrace' to develop new followers, they typically establish a blood contract, whereby the caster, or elder, such as Lorn, gains absolute dominion over the new subordinate. The contract forms a master-servant bond on a spiritual level, similar to the coercive power of a magical contract, like a soul imprint.
What he was experiencing now was the result of his development of the three female subordinates he had created using the 'Domino' technique. Of the three, Perona was the strongest and had once resisted, but now she is one of Lorn's direct subordinates and obeys him without question. As the saying goes, practice is the source of knowledge.
Now that he understood this, things would be easier and he could make greater strides forward.
New journey, new goals!
As he pondered, a figure emerged in Lorn's mind: She was Boa Hancock, one of the most powerful female pirates in the current seas and the Pirate Empress. Hailed by the world as the "most beautiful woman in the world", her unparalleled beauty was unmatched. As the ruler of a nation, she possessed the aura of a tyrant and was both powerful and beautiful. She could not be overlooked, and if given the chance, she must be brought to the forefront. More importantly, she ruled a nation of women. Developing a bloodline army there would provide an excellent base. Plus, it was located in the Calm Belt, an area that could not be entered or exited at will. Safe and secure!
Of course, some might not forget the Four Emperors and Big Mom. She was still a powerful woman, after all. However, in Lorn's opinion, this 'ocean bus' is truly unnecessary. If she were younger, before her time in the Valley of the Gods, it might have been possible. But now, an old woman with a steel balloon is simply too tough to handle!
'However, she could be considered for the River of the Dead. In the future, when fighting the World Government, she could be a significant combat force!'
Standing at the bow of the warship, Lorn contemplated future candidates for his vampire clan. After all, he needed powerful allies and subordinates to oppose the World Government. Now that he had successfully escaped, Lorn knew that the World Government would come looking for him, even if he didn't seek revenge.
Strength! He must enhance his strength! This is the top priority!
An unexpected bonus: Armoured Haki!
As he thought about this, Lorn suddenly remembered something.
'Oh no! I was so busy with other things that I almost forgot the main task.' "System!" 'Reward claim!'
Earlier, while on Moria's ship, an electronic, mechanical voice rang suddenly in his mind. It was probably the hidden reward that had been unlocked by Lorn after he obtained vampire powers and successfully developed three vampire subordinates, thus unlocking the template. However, at that time, he had just finished negotiating several billion-dollar import and export deals and was too exhausted to claim the reward. Now that he had some free time, he naturally had to claim it. Lorn was always open to such rewards, especially since the system's offerings were always excellent.
'Ding! Reward distribution in progress. Please check your inventory!'
As his mind was flooded with information, Lorn was startled. The reward was actually the Armoured Haki!
'Wow, what a great reward!' 'Master it well and even if we encounter a Devil Fruit user with a Logia-type ability, we won't have to fear them.' 'Even the bullets from Gaasel can be imbued with Haki, enhancing their power!'
There was no time to waste. Sailing was boring anyway, and for Lorn, this was the perfect opportunity to practise using Armed Colour Haki and pass the time. In the pirate world, Armed Color Haki is extremely useful against Logia-type Devil Fruit users! As for Observation Haki, Lorn already had the latent ability to sense blood. Generally speaking, it wasn't very useful. Of course, higher-level applications are another matter.
Supplies and destination:
Currently, there are no Navy soldiers on board the ship. Only Lorn, Sadi-chan, Domino and the Ghost Princess Perona remain. The Navy soldiers who had been on board earlier had become 'resurrection coins' and undead henchmen in Lorn's River of the Dead. There was no need to use them, although Lorn can charm and hypnotise. Domino and the others also looted quite a few valuable items from Gekko Moria. Gekko Moria's small treasure vault contains an estimated ten billion in gold, silver and cash. As for the zombie experiment materials, they have no value to Lorn, so he didn't take them. He only took what was useful — after all, he isn't here to collect scrap.
They also obtained a map of the first half of the Grand Line and two permanent compass needles. These items are extremely valuable to Lorn. The magnetic fields, celestial phenomena, ocean and air currents of the Grand Line are in complete chaos, making it difficult to determine one's location or find islands. Only the record compass and the permanent compass are reliable, and with the map of the first half of the Grand Line and the permanent compasses, things would be much easier.
The two compasses pointed to two destinations: the Sabaody Archipelago and the World Government's official shipyard at Water 7. After much consideration, Lorn decided to head for the shipyard. The most urgent task was to obtain a ship and then sail far away in order to build up his strength. Moreover, Water 7 was in the same direction as Amazon Lily.
Meanwhile, as Lorn set sail with a full load, leaving the Devil's Triangle behind, high above the Red Earth Continent at the World Government's headquarters in Mariejois, power was in the air. Power was in the air. The magnificent gates slowly opened. People gathered in large numbers..
