The All-Powerful Magic Swordsman Hides His True Abilities and Aims To Live In the Countryside ~His Ideal Life Is Far From Over When He’s Spotted by a Noble Lady and a Saint!~ - Chapter 154
A month quickly passed by while Seth was carrying Red around the garden Katakuri walked in and greeted Seth.
“Captain” Katakuri said with a bow.
Seth glanced at his commander and asked “What is it?”
Katakuri straightened his back and said “I found a person who is capable of battling one of our commanders and I would like to invite him to join our crew.”
Seth thought for a moment then nodded “Sure, let me meet him first”
Katakuri knew that his Captain will agree and said “He is currently waiting at the throne room.”
Seth smiled then shook his head, he told Katakuri to wait for him because he had to bring Red to his mother first.
A few minutes later Seth was on his way towards the throne room.
Upon entering the room Seth was surprised to see a person with a clown outfit sitting beside Katakuri.
Katakuri and the clown stood up when Seth entered and greeted him.
“Captain this is the person I am talking about.” Katakuri said while pointing towards the clown.
The clown sensing It was his time to speak immediately introduced himself “Yehihihi, Nice to meet you Emperor Seth. I am Jester the clown”
Seth couldn’t help but smile hearing Jester talk because he was rather jolly at the same creepy.
He sat on his chair and spoke “So what is your specialty Jester.”
Jester didn’t reply and he made a hand gesture and suddenly 12 cards were floating in front of him.
“Emperor Seth, I ate the card-card fruit and control all the cards in the world I can make hard as a diamond, sharp as a pointed blade and soft as cotton.”
Seth nodded and couldn’t help but think that Jester really looks like a clown doing card magic tricks back in his old world.
“I heard that you can evenly match one of my commanders I wonder who that commander is.” Seth asked.
Jester started giggling and said “Yehihihi, that unlucky commander was Bentham and he is my dearest friend when we were still sailing together on south blue.”
Seth finally understood that Jester was also an Okama like Bentham.
“Jester, do you plan on joining my crew?”
Jester played his card and said “Emperor Seth I would like to first know how powerful you are before deciding to join your crew.”
Seth raised a brow and grinned “Sure, you can attack me anytime you want.”
“Card Barrage!”
Seeing the incoming attack Seth summoned two wind snakes and attacked the cards.
The two snakes slithered towards the cards and devoured them like it was some ordinary playing cards.
After devouring the card the two snakes combined and become a 40ft long snake and wrapped against Jester.
Feeling the squeezing force the snake was producing Jester started panicking and said.
“I give up!”
Hearing Jester give up Seth snapped his fingers and the 40ft long snake disappeared.
He smiled at Jester and asked “Do you want another round?”
Jester shook his head and bowed toward Seth “It isn’t needed anymore, I wish to join your crew Emperor Seth.”
Serh nodded and said “You can go to Tesoro and ask him what ship you will be staying and who will be your commander.”
Jester was about to speak when Seth continued.
“I know that you are strong enough to become a commander but we have rules here and there will only be 10 commanders if you want to become one you have to challenge and defeat a commander and take his spot. but, you’re still new so you must first prove that you are loyal to me and then you can challenge a commander.”
Jester was silent for a moment then nodded “I’ll do as Captain’s says and first prove my worth.”
After that Katakuri lead Jester towards Tesoro’s office to find where he will be staying.
Seth was just about to get back to his wife when suddenly yellow famine who ate the float-float fruit and the guardian of the island appeared beside him and said.
“Master, there’s a ship below us with a sunflower figure infront of it.”
Seth laughed hearing famine describe the lion’s head a sunflower and said.
“Go and bring them to Gran Tesoro and let tell Gerhardt about their arrival he will know what to do.”
Yellow famine nodded and floated towards the exit.
“So you’re finally here Luffy let’s see if you and your crew can survive my little gift.”
