Upon making eye contact, the long-eared man's expression changed slightly, and he said in horror, "A soul-type Devil Fruit user?! The Soul-Soul Fruit? Did Charlotte Linlin, that bitch, die? Hahahaha, good riddance! I've been annoyed with her for a long time!"
Vladimir raised his eyebrows, saying playfully, "She didn't die. She ran fast last time, and I accidentally let her slip away."
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, the dozen or so people present all had a focused look.
Although most of them had been imprisoned for more than 10 years, they could still occasionally get information from the outside world, and they knew that Charlotte Linlin had become one of the New World Emperors.
And judging by what the armored man meant, he had almost killed her?
"Who are you?" Suddenly, an old man with a pale face, completely naked except for a small piece of torn cloth, asked in a deep voice, "Which of the Four Emperors are you? Kaido?"
"How could he be that idiot Kaido!" Someone snorted. "I'd recognize Kaido even if he turned to ash!"
"My name is... the Lich King!"
Vladimir said softly, his voice seeming to come from the depths of hell, and striking directly at the soul.
"All twelve of you were famous pirates back in the day, right? If I were an ambitious person, I might consider letting you go. But unfortunately, you've met me."
Saying this, Vladimir, carrying Frostmourne, walked towards the long-eared man's cell. "It just so happens that my undead army is lacking excellent corpses. I'll use you as a test subject!"
Swish!
A sword light flashed, and the iron bars, made of fine iron and as strong as diamonds, were instantly broken under this sword.
Seeing this, the long-eared man was shocked. "What kind of weapon is that? It's so sharp... It's not a matter of relying on brute force, but this sword!"
This was the prison that held them, and even if they used a lot of explosives, they wouldn't be able to blow it open. But it was broken so easily.
Vladimir walked towards the other party step by step, looking directly at him, and thrusting his sword towards the man's chest without hesitation.
However, the next moment.
Ding!
The sword thrust in, but seemed to touch steel, stopping on the surface of the other party's skin, unable to advance an inch...
"Hehehe, fool. If it were so easy to kill us, do you think that guy Azure wouldn't have done it?" The big-eared man looked at him with disdain.
"Haki?"
Vladimir's expression was normal, his tone calm. "Soul Harvest!"
Suddenly, Frostmourne shone with a dazzling blue light, as if transforming into a large vortex, strongly tearing at the long-eared man's soul.
"What!?"
The long-eared man's eyes widened, and his whole body suddenly stiffened. The attack from the soul level made his Haki defense useless.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! You bastard, if I wasn't trapped, one hand would be enough to kill you! Ahhhhh!!"
He struggled and cursed, but even under the suppression of Soul Harvest, he shouted for half a minute before finally hanging his head completely, dying with his eyes open.
"1000 soul power!"
Vladimir opened his mouth, a little surprised. This was 1000 times the soul strength of an average person, simply terrifying.
"Long-Ear is dead..." Someone in the opposite cell murmured in a low voice.
"He shouldn't have provoked him. Did he think the other person was Azure, that idiot?"
"Judging by what he said, it seems he was planning to kill us all?"
The crowd fell silent.
"Rest assured, although you will die, you will also be reborn in undead form. I'm giving you a chance to live again!"
Vladimir chuckled, pressing the blade against the long-eared man's chest, and injecting soul power into it.
"Revive, my undead army!"
Thump!
Suddenly, a clear heartbeat rang out. After injecting 1000 soul power, the long-eared man's corpse underwent a transformation.
First, his face: his muscles began to swell, twisting, transforming into a pig-like head. At the same time, slight rot appeared in various parts of his body.
"What's going on?" Someone in the opposite cell murmured in shock.
A moment ago, Long-Ear had indeed died, but now, he was alive again. No, to be precise, he hadn't lived, but had become another form of life.
"Abomination!"
Vladimir murmured in a low voice, "1000 soul power, plus this powerful corpse, actually turned into an Abomination."
Vladimir turned his gaze, walking towards the other cells.
"Everyone, don't resist. Resistance is meaningless. All of you, join my undead army!"
A quarter of an hour later.
Abomination, Banshee, Death Knight...
Mid- and high-level members of the undead army were born one by one. All twelve of them stood in a row, kneeling on one knee, offering their loyalty to Vladimir.
"King, we join your command, vowing to be loyal to the undead army until death!"
...
"King, we join your command, vowing to be loyal to the undead army until death!"
The 12 newly born undead, after breaking free from the shackles of the prison, stood before Vladimir, kneeling on one knee, respectfully offering their loyalty.
Vladimir quietly sized them up. Among these 12 undead, there were 3 Liches, 3 Abominations, 3 Gargoyles, 2 Death Knights, and 1 Banshee.
"Abomination, Lich, Gargoyle, these three all cost 1000 soul units, and the formation is random. As for Death Knights, they cost 2000 soul power, and the last Banshee..."
Vladimir thought to himself. The Banshee was the skinny old woman from before. The last one to be successfully summoned, costing a full 3000 soul power.
This was a little beyond Vladimir's expectations. The soul power consumed by a low-level undead like a Banshee was actually higher than that of a Death Knight.
Thinking this, Vladimir looked at the Banshee and asked, "What abilities do you have?"
