Similar!
No.
No.
Rather—
Identical.
That was right.
This woman looked exactly like Morgan le Fay, as if they were twin sisters…
Twins?!
Twins…
At that mont, everyone suddenly realized it. Shock filled their faces as they stared at the two won before them, at a loss for words.
Could they really be twins?
In other words, this woman was also a mber of the Pendragon family.
Although everyone found it hard to believe that one family could produce three monsters of such strength, watching the woman walking over the waves, they felt that refusing to accept it was no longer possible.
"This…"
They fell silent, wanting to say sothing, yet unable to find the words.
"Hehehe…"
With a smile on her lips, the woman whose face was almost identical to Morgan's spoke. Unlike Morgan's coldness, she seed exceptionally gentle.
"Everyone, my younger brother is not here, so I must apologize for the poor reception. However, since the head of the household is absent, may I ask you all to leave?"
Her voice was soft and delicate, extrely gentle. Paired with that beautiful face, it was almost intoxicating.
But!
Anyone with sense could feel the danger hidden in that voice.
A spring-breeze-like danger.
It was terrifying in a way that chilled the heart.
"…"
Ochoku stared deeply at the woman and asked seriously, "Who are you?"
"?"
"Yes."
"My na is Vivian Pendragon."
With a faint smile, Vivian said gently, "I am the second daughter of the Pendragon family. However, everything in the family is managed by my younger brother. You have truly co at a bad ti. My brother is away, so I suggest you all leave."
Vivian Pendragon.
The Lady of the Lake.
That was right.
During the past six months, Arthur had summoned four people: Kay, Gaheris, and Bors, three Knights of the Round Table, as well as his second elder sister, Vivian.
Hmm…
How should one put it?
In legend, King Arthur had three elder sisters, and in various versions of the stories, these three sisters differed greatly. Sotis they were rged into one person, and sotis they were three separate people.
In truth!
His family did indeed have three elder sisters: Morgan le Fay, Vivian, and Morgan.
As for Morgan le Fay, there was no need to say more. All her life, she had devoted herself to opposing her younger brother, always thinking about how to strike at him. That almost obsessive fixation was honestly sowhat puzzling. Why had she been so fixated?
Of course.
After coming to this world, she no longer had such thoughts or intentions.
As for the second sister, that was Vivian.
Compared with Morgan le Fay, who had inherited Britannia's mystery from birth and stood as the Queen of Britannia, Vivian's life was… hmm… much more colorful. Vivian had rged with Britannia's lakes and beco the Lady of the Lake.
That was right.
Excalibur, Arondight, Galatine…
All those holy swords, holy lances, scabbards, and so on! So many treasures had been handed over to Britannia as if they cost nothing. By now, many people should understand why. The reason was simple: Vivian was Arthur's elder sister.
Vivian helping her own younger brother was only natural.
Of course, Vivian was a fairy, yet not a fairy.
Hmm…
That sounds rather strange. To put it another way, Vivian was the kind of fairy born from the sublimation of humanity, a higher-order life-form similar to angels or demons. She was not a small elental fairy who rely controlled various natural elents but lacked overwhelming strength.
These two must be distinguished, because the difference between them was enormous.
As for the last sister, Morgan…
Hmm!
Better not say too much about her for now. That could be discussed later, because the third sister's situation was the most special and the strangest. In terms of strength, she was also the strongest of the three.
"Hehehe…"
Ochoku chuckled faintly. "My apologies. I would like to leave just like that, but since I'm already standing here, making leave is not sothing anyone can do with a single sentence."
"Attack!"
Ochoku's voice was calm and indifferent as he gave the order.
The assault began instantly.
"Hahaha!"
"Kill!"
"Damn woman! You run your mouth at us?"
"Cut her down!"
"Whoa!"
Listening to the pirates' crazed shouts, Vivian's smile remained unchanged. She rely smiled and said, "How troubleso. No matter the era, people like you always exist. It truly gives one a headache."
"Hehehe…"
That smile appeared on her lips as Vivian raised one hand.
In an instant, countless streams of seawater gathered and ford water knights. They displayed terrifying strength, and with the power of those water knights alone, they stopped the pirate alliance brought by Ochoku and the others.
There was no way around it.
On this sea, the ability to control seawater was far too unfair. Many ability users were now forced to fight cautiously, unable to move freely. Anyone who dared act carelessly would almost certainly face death if they made the slightest mistake.
It was an extrely awkward situation.
One could only call it helpless.
"My, my."
"You made such bold declarations, yet this is all the strength you have?"
"What a pity."
A smile appeared on Vivian's lips. In the next instant, she spread one hand.
Buzz—
An even more radiant light gathered, as though it would devour everything. That endless light condensed into a holy sword.
Looking closely, one would discover that it was Excalibur.
That was right.
It was the holy sword's beam.
This strange sight left everyone confused.
What was going on?
In truth!
This was Vivian's special ability. Although Vivian was called the Lady of the Lake, her power was terrifying. What she commanded was the power of holy swords. In other words, Vivian could freely condense any holy sword. Though each one possessed only fifty or sixty percent of the original's power, that was already frightening enough.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Terrifying beams of holy light rained down wildly.
If Vivian's magical energy had not been sowhat limited, it would not have been only a dozen or so blasts, but dozens, even hundreds!
In short, this chain of terrifying attacks made everyone feel fear from the depths of their hearts.
Boom—
Boom—
A huge number of pirates were swallowed up in an instant.
Vivian's lips curved into a smile as she said gently, "How were my attacks, everyone? If you wish to continue, you may."
Hearing Vivian's gentle voice, everyone felt a terrifying cruelty instead.
This woman showed no rcy at all.
Of course.
Compared with Vivian's terrifying strength, what shocked everyone even more was the horror of the entire battlefield.
It was a terror that ca from the depths of the heart.
Just how powerful was the Pendragon family?
That was what everyone found most frightening.
Arthur Pendragon!
That man had appeared out of nowhere and announced to the sea that the Pendragon family possessed mighty strength. Of course, a single powerful figure would not make the entire sea take them too seriously. After all, that was still just one person.
But!
Now things were completely different.
After that man appeared, the sea had witnessed further changes.
Morgan le Fay Pendragon!
The Knights of the Round Table!
The forr represented part of the Pendragon family itself, while the latter represented the family's power. Their sudden appearance had made everyone understand that the Pendragon family's strength was not weak at all. In fact, it was terrifying.
Even so!
Everyone had thought that was the end of it.
But reality was completely different.
No—rather, it was not the end at all.
It was rely the beginning.
Another mber of the Pendragon family had appeared.
Vivian!
The second sister of the Pendragon family. This woman's appearance made everyone understand that the Pendragon family's power was not as simple as what they had seen. As for what else was hidden?
That was what chilled them most.
That was what terrified them most.
Because no one knew.
Just how much terrifying power was the Pendragon family hiding?
Perhaps this was only a part of it.
That was entirely possible.
In fact, it was very likely.
Thinking of that possibility, everyone's expressions beca exceptionally grave.
The Pendragon family was truly terrifying!
"…"
After a mont of silence, Silver Axe said in a low voice, "Ochoku, I'm not mistaken, am I?"
"Yeah."
Ochoku's expression was also grave. After hesitating slightly, he said, "Although I can't see it too clearly, it's probably not wrong. Has that terrifying Devil Fruit appeared again?"
It was simply unimaginable.
Logia-type: Water-Water Fruit!
Or rather—
It was like the Fish-Fish Fruit, a Devil Fruit that existed only in legend.
But had such a legendary Devil Fruit truly appeared in Vivian's hands?
It was unbelievable.
But the problem was, this seed to be the truth.
Vivian's casual control over seawater was astonishing.
"Wait!"
Suddenly thinking of sothing, Ochoku spoke sharply, "We still can't confirm her Devil Fruit ability. Watch for now. It isn't certain yet!"
"Mm!"
Hearing that, Silver Axe nodded slightly.
Indeed.
Look at Morgan le Fay. What was her Devil Fruit? It was also an extrely special Devil Fruit. Because of that, Morgan le Fay could barely control the seawater around Britannia. That proved that many special Devil Fruits could accomplish similar things.
After all!
Although the Water-Water Fruit was said to exist, it was rely a Devil Fruit from legend. Many people had heard of it, but had anyone actually seen it?
No.
Honestly.
When it ca to the existence of Devil Fruits, everyone on the sea felt a sense of wonder. But alongside that wonder, there was even more confusion.
The reason was simple.
No one truly understood what Devil Fruits were.
Many people researched Devil Fruits, but had anyone truly figured them out?
Not really.
Or rather, it was almost impossible.
On this sea, there were very few people who had truly uncovered the secrets of Devil Fruits.
That was precisely why this was an extrely important matter, and one that needed to be taken seriously.
That was the reason.
Devil Fruits were called treasures of the sea, yet they were also cursed by the sea.
So the question was:
What was the true reason behind that?
No one knew.
That was right.
No one knew the true origin of Devil Fruits at all. Everyone rely repeated what others said.
One could say this was the strangest and most bizarre thing of all.
It was truly hard to understand.
Just like the point Arthur found strange: he had devoured an incredibly terrifying number of Devil Fruits, at least a thousand, perhaps even more.
And yet?
Devil Fruits still continued to appear endlessly.
It was very strange.
It was as if, as long as soone searched, Devil Fruits would continue to appear in this world.
That!
Was an extrely strange thing.
Why was it like this?
Why were Devil Fruits endless in number?
It was strange.
It was deeply puzzling.
Many people had considered this question, but none of them had truly thought it through carefully.
They simply assud that was how things were.
And this!
Was the greatest problem with Devil Fruits.
