The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

This was not the first time Princess Vivi and Denise met. They had met once several months ago. At that time, the beautiful elder sister had just arrived in the country and was looking for someone to ask for directions to the royal capital, Arubana.

Princess Vivi, who was traveling in the countryside with her lustful camel, pointed out the direction to the royal capital to Denise. At that time, she thought that the other party was a traveler who came to the desert country just to enjoy the scenery, and she had no idea that he was later rescued by her.

"Thank you Denise for avenging my father. On behalf of the people of this country, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

Princess Vivi displayed royal demeanor towards her savior and bowed almost 90 degrees, expressing her sincere gratitude to Denise from the bottom of her heart. If she had not stood up, the Kingdom of Alabasta would have been forever lost in the dust of history.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is very intelligent and a natural politician. She realized that Denise did not want to reveal her identity as a hero, so she could only lower her voice to express her gratitude here and try not to cause trouble to the other party.

The great hero who slays demons actually doesn't care about those false reputations. Denise can receive applause from the rescued people, but if the other party posts a message to express gratitude, it will give the woman a headache. Basically, when doing good deeds later, the female greatsword chooses not to leave her name, thus saving herself a lot of trouble.

"It is our duty as Great Swords to slay demons. The battle process has caused collateral damage to the country, which is beyond our control. I deeply sympathize with the Kingdom of Alabasta."

Denise said this calmly and raised the wooden bowl in her hand high, motioning Princess Vivi to join her in eating. It was too awkward to stand and talk respectfully. How could two women of such different status be friends?

Princess Weiwei did not put on any aristocratic airs. She had just received a meal from the emergency center, and then sat down next to the female greatsword, enjoying the rare tranquility of the day. After all the suffering, both women had very good appetites when they had a meal together.

Denise released 70% of her demonic power, which consumed a huge amount of her own energy. One portion of food could not satisfy her at all. She then went to the emergency department to get another portion of food. The woman did not expect much reward from this ruined kingdom, she just wanted to satisfy her appetite at the moment.

The officials of the kingdom saw Her Royal Highness the Princess talking to a beautiful woman. Judging from her extraordinary temperament, it was obvious that she was neither an ordinary person nor a person in distress. She might be an important person worth making friends with. The officials took the initiative to offer the two women a portion of wine dug out from the ruins.

After eating and drinking, the two women became more familiar with each other. Princess Vivi boldly asked: "Denisa, you are the strongest woman I have ever met. If one day I can become as strong as you, maybe I can protect my country and the people of this land."

In the flickering light and shadow of the bonfire, the face of Her Royal Highness the Princess was reflected in flickering light. Her originally beautiful face was now filled with a deep melancholy, which made people feel distressed.

The blow of losing her loved ones was like a heavy shackle that made her breathless. There was endless sadness in her eyes, as if all happiness had left her. The warmth of the bonfire could not dispel the haze in her heart. She stared at the flames silently, as if looking for a little comfort.

A few strands of hair on her forehead fluttered in the wind, making her look even more haggard and helpless. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to express the pain in her heart but was unable to speak. In this silent night, the figure of Her Royal Highness the Princess looked so frail, as if she would be swallowed up by sadness at any time.

Playing the victim to gain sympathy is always the best way. Denise felt that Princess Vivi was very pitiful. She was a person who had been pampered since childhood. Misfortunes happened to her country and people around her, but she could remain strong until now. She was already a very brave girl.

Denise is a smart woman. She can certainly understand the meaning of Princess Vivi's words. Only by telling her the truth can she make her give up: "Gaining power is not without price. It is a life-threatening process."

Princess Vivi began to unbutton her armor and lifted up her shirt. Her eyes were attracted by the ugly scar on her belly. The scar ran across Denise's waist, like a hideous talisman, forming a sharp contrast with her originally beautiful appearance.

Upon closer inspection, the scar was covered with dense sutures. These lines crisscrossed each other like a horrific net, tightly sewing something that did not belong to humans into Denise's body. The density of these sutures was chilling, as if suggesting that she had undergone a terrible operation or suffered some unimaginable trauma.

However, Denise did not lose her charm because of this. She is still a goddess in the eyes of outsiders. This scar is just a part of her life, reminding her and outsiders that even under the most beautiful appearance, there may be unknown pain and scars hidden.

"To gain power beyond human power, one must endure inhuman pain. This scar is proof that I have undergone transformation surgery. What the demon Naraku said was not wrong. If you really want to talk about it, I am no longer a human being."

Princess Vivi was so shocked that she hadn't recovered from the shock. She didn't even notice when Denise tidied her clothes and turned back into the perfect goddess. Only the princess had the scar deeply engraved in her mind.

“The price is so heavy, but there is nothing free in this world.”

In the subsequent conversation, Denise did not hide anything and explained to Her Royal Highness the Princess the origin of the scar and why surgery was necessary to gain power.

With the emergence of Behelet, the ancient organization that fights against demons will also revive from silence. Denise belongs to a demon hunting organization called the Black Order. In the internal professional division, they are the first-line greatswords against demons.

There are no men in the greatsword group, only women. Women, due to the innate advantage of having a uterus, can sew the remaining limbs of demons into their own bodies. This involves a very complicated process, and Denise only describes the greatsword surgery in the shortest possible terms.

Theoretically, every healthy woman can undergo the broadsword surgery, but becoming a qualified broadsword requires a lot of luck.

Fragments of active demons will actively invade the host's body after entering it. After the demon cells grow wildly in the body for a period of time, there is a 90% chance that the operator will become a slave to the demon. These are all failures and will be disposed of by the Black Cult.

Only a few lucky people like Denise can maintain their sanity after the big sword surgery and retain the qualifications to continue to be human.
