As a pirate, he wants to be the king but relies on his son to conquer the world.

An invisible wave centered on Sparrow penetrated into the miko's mind.

This is the advanced technique of reading memories with the Haki of Wisdom and Information. After seeing the hypnosis technique of King Britannia, Sparrow also asked Einstein to try to develop hypnosis techniques. But without the hypnotic fruit, the results are relatively small. Einstein himself was pretty good at hypnosis with the brain fruit, but it was very difficult for Sparrow to learn it. His hypnosis skills were half-baked, and he couldn't even hypnotize an ordinary person well if he was on guard. However, in the other task of reading memory, with the help of Xiaolan, Sparrow was able to do it very smoothly.

Seeing and hearing Haki seemed to turn into a tentacle, and like Legilimency in Harry Potter, it penetrated deeply into the mind of the old witch.

The Seven Star Sword is placed on the altar and in the coffin in the stone chamber on the top floor. It needs to be watered with blood to open the coffin lid. The stronger the blood, the more the demonic nature in the Seven Star Sword can be awakened. Sparrow captured the information about the Seven Star Sword from the miko's mind.

"The power of blood? Haha, that's interesting." Sparrow rubbed his chin and looked at the altar behind them, ignoring the fallen old woman. After all, there is a price to pay for reading memories.

"Wait, grandma, what's wrong with you?" Maya's pretty face was full of anxiety. Looking at grandma who suddenly collapsed, the surrounding villagers also looked panicked. They had seen pirates kill people, but they killed people with their 'eyes' They really haven't encountered it before.

"Damn pirate, it was you who did this, right? Let grandma get back to normal quickly." Maya stopped in front of Sparrow, baring her teeth and claws, like an angry little kitten.

Sparrow didn't care, and just ordered, "Take them two with you, maybe you need to borrow their power."

The villagers on the side didn't dare to stop them at all, and watched helplessly as Sparrow and his party walked towards the altar.

...

The stone chamber was very simple, with only a stone coffin placed in the middle, which seemed a bit awkward.

Sparrow strode to the sarcophagus, "Does it require the power of blood to open it? Ridiculous!"

The Seven Star Sword, which is called the Demon Sword, is by no means a good thing. If you continue to please and flatter, you will only become the slave of the sword. Only by subduing it with more powerful and domineering power can you truly conquer this Demon Sword.

Sparrow brought a wisp of sword energy to his fingertips, and instantly broke the coffin lid open.

Maya's eyes widened. Wasn't this person here for the Seven Star Sword? How come he didn't act according to the rules at all.

A dim green light burst out from the sarcophagus, like a will-o'-the-wisp in a tomb, rendering the surrounding stone walls green.

From Sparrow's point of view, this Seven-Star Sword, which was derived from the shape of the traditional Chinese long sword in the previous life, is undoubtedly the most gorgeous and handsome.

According to legend, the Seven Star Sword is an invincible sword that controls darkness. Sparrow is not sure yet, but in terms of its shape, it is unparalleled among swords in the entire pirate world.

Sparrow slowly reached into the sarcophagus and grasped the hilt of the Seven Star Sword.

"No!" Maya screamed in horror, but she was still a step too late. The dim green light was like a poisonous snake, winding around Sparrow's arm, making Maya feel desperate in her heart: "It's over, the darkness is coming. Come, will this peaceful sea be shrouded in darkness again?"

"Weak, too weak." Sparrow said in an indifferent tone, "If this is all your power, you are not worthy of being my weapon!"

The blade of the Seven Star Sword trembled violently, as if it was angered by Sparrow's words. The evil green aura instantly enveloped Sparrow, but even Sparrow's body could not be touched and it dissipated into the air.

Seeing this scene, Maya was dumbfounded. Doesn't it mean that everyone who comes into contact with the Seven Star Sword will be deceived by its power and become a slave of the Seven Star Sword? Why does this pirate dislike the power of the Seven Star Sword?

It is true that there is indeed a huge and demonic power in this seven-star sword, which is enough to make a strong man who spans the sea get lost in it, but for Sparrow, the power that confuses the mind is as ridiculous as playing house. Sparrow's crystal meditation method was not practiced in vain.

The Seven-Star Sword is currently sealed. When the red full moon appears, the Seven-Star Sword will absorb the power of the ominous moon, break free of the seal, and once again show the world its power to control darkness. Sparrow thought about the memories he found in the old woman's mind.

"Red full moon?" Sparrow frowned slightly. It is said that this red full moon will only appear once in hundreds of years, and the latest one seems to have to wait until the arrival of the Straw Hats many years later. However, he does not intend to do this in this place. It took so long to wait on the island.

By the way, the three gems contain a barrier that seals the Seven Star Sword. As long as the witch's bloodline power is mobilized, the barrier is summoned, and then broken, the power of the Seven Star Sword can be permanently released.

So Sparrow looked at Maya.

"Ah? It's impossible. I will never help you summon the barrier. If the power of the Seven Star Sword is completely released, the whole world will be destroyed!" Maya shook her head desperately, with a look of death on her face. Determination.

"Ha, that's ridiculous. Do you know how vast the world is?" Sparrow shook his head disdainfully, "If a sword can destroy a world, then this world should be destroyed as soon as possible."

A sword is a dead thing, and it can only exert its power in the hands of the person who controls it.

Just like the world's most powerful black sword - Night, in the hands of Hawkeye, it can destroy the world, but in the hands of a weak person, it is nothing more than a sharp weapon.

Maya was speechless for a moment, but the education she received since she was a child has always held this idea in her mind. She must not let the Seven Star Sword be born, otherwise the whole world will fall into eternal darkness.

"No, I will never agree!"

"If that's the case, maybe I have to choose the most barbaric method and sacrifice all of you to blood."

"No, no, they are all innocent. If you want to kill, just kill me." Maya's tears couldn't stop overflowing, which actually made Sparrow feel like an evil villain.

Wait, wasn't he always the evil villain?

"So, saving the world is too heavy for anyone." Sparrow said with some compassion, "Make a choice, protect the people in the world who have nothing to do with you, or protect the people who live with you day and night. The lives of the entire village."

Maya's face turned pale and she bit her lips until they bled. This choice was really too difficult.

"Think about those ignorant children who are only two or three years old. They have not seen the beauty of the world and will sink into hell forever; think about those lovely villagers, they respect you so much, but you have done something for them. The choice of death; and, your grandma, can you bear to have her fall in front of you like this, leaving endless regrets?" Sparrow is like a devil from hell, tempting Maya towards the darkness.
