The next moment, with a bang sound, the surface ice shattered, revealing the person who was frozen underneath.
"You... are seeking your own death!"
That figure wore dark armor, with a helmet, its eyes emitting a eerie light, not looking like a living person, but it spoke human language, its voice full of power, as if coming from the netherworld, its chill oppressive.
"The ghost is alive!" Someone was so scared that they were drenched in cold sweat, quickly retreating.
The captain with the hat also had a shocked expression, after a long while, he said in a deep voice, "I am the captain of the Ogre Pirate Crew, known as 'Mad Sword', bounty of 95 million! Who are you?"
"Who am I?"
On the fish's back, Vladimir contemplated for a moment, then said, "I, was ice-sealed for three days and three nights? Hehehe, I was actually ice-sealed by my own ability, forcing me to spend so much time mastering the ability, releasing the frost."
While saying this, he holding his knees, slowly standing up, with his actions, the armor making) a heavy metallic clash sound.
The pirates then clearly saw, that it was a tall figure, the dark armor appearing overbearing, the helmet on its head concealing its face, only a pair of eyes, radiating a eerie blue fog-like light.
"Wh-, who exactly are you?" The captain with the hat's spirit was greatly shocked.
"I, am from the Phantom Pirates," Vladimir suddenly raised his right hand, grabbing towards the group of pirates from afar, "My name is..."
As soon as his voice fell, a power of soul reaping, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, together slashed towards the two or three hundred pirates.
"Offer your souls to me!"
In an instant, everyone had a feeling that a great disaster was imminent, as if the Grim Reaper, was issuing a call to them.
"Qui- quickly run! It's Phantom!"
One person sharply yelled, but as soon as he turned around, he convulsed, his eyes turning white, and he fell straight down.
A unique soul substance, was directly without contact extracted by Vladimir.
"Is this the power of the soul?" The Lich King let out a amazement, his eerie blue eyes, twinkling once, "Very good, since you want to take my idea, then offer your souls!"
Such a strange scene, scared a group of pirates from having the intention to fight, instinctively starting to escape.
"Revive, my allies!"
Suddenly, a low hum came.
The next moment, those corpses that had been extracted of their souls, moved slightly, and actually slowly stood up.
Their body was decaying, quickly shedding, leaving only white bones, skeletons.
"I will form an undead army, starting with you!"
Along with Vladimir's whisper, skeletons revived, their eyes radiating green eerie light, appearing incredibly strange.
In a short moment, the captain with the hat became one of the only remaining dozen living people, he was full of terror, incredibly terrified.
"What kind of monster are you!?"
Around the captain and a few members, a group of undead skeletons, slowly encircled them.
Vladimir ignored them, instead closing his eyes, reading the information of the new transformation.
Sixth Transformation: Lich King
Star Rating: ★★★☆☆
Ability 1: Frost
Ability 2: Undead Army
Ability 3: Summon
Ability 4: Unlocked
Ability 5: Unlocked
Slowly reading all the information, after a moment, Vladimir then opened his eyes, looking directly at the other party.
"I said, my name is... the Lich King!"
The Devil's Triangle at dawn, appeared serene, and uncanny.
Thick fog pervaded, cold air floating on the sea surface, bringing a trace of coldness.
On a pirate ship, stood a group of green-eyed skeletons, just ten minutes ago, these undead were still living people.
The captain with the hat ultimately couldn't escape death, just when he attempted to capture the Angler Lantern, Vladimir, who was still in an ice-sealed state, had sentenced him to death.
Perhaps due to natural talent, the skeleton that the captain with the hat transformed into, although it didn't have memories, after death transforming into an undead, it still remembered to wear its captain's hat from its lifetime.
Among the three hundred or so skeleton soldiers, he with the hat, appeared very distinct.
Suddenly, this group of undead in unison looked at Vladimir, as if waiting for orders.
Vladimir stood on the Angler Lantern's head, quietly looking over the newly born group of skeleton soldiers.
"Too weak, they're all the lowest level skeleton soldiers. Even if they were pirates with a 95 million bounty in their lifetime, without the physical bodies that have been trained for many years, they're only slightly stronger than ordinary skeleton soldiers."
This kind of skeleton soldier, a single one was utterly useless, any pirate in the Grand Line could kill them with one slash.
To be precise, not kill, but shatter, the undead are already dead, they won't die a second time.
"Try strengthening them with soul power... I have to experiment."
Vladimir thought inwardly, his eerie blue eyes twinkling constantly, obviously calculating the method.
He destroyed this ship of pirates, extracting nearly 300 souls, these souls were stored in the armor on his body.
Without hesitation, Vladimir pointed out a finger, and immediately, a soul substance was separated out, merging into the bones of the skeleton with the hat.
The next moment, a change occurred, absorbing this soul substance, the bone surface color of this skeleton deepened, from bone white, gradually turning to light gray.
Even his eyes, the green light became a few points more intense.
"It really became stronger."
Vladimir nodded, immediately dividing out another one.
