The Author's POV

Chapter 509

Bang—!

Crashing against a tree was a black humanoid figure. The bark of the three flew everywhere, and the figure rolled back a couple of meters.

Coming to a stop, the demon raised his head and glared in my direction.

"Uakh! How…dare you!"

"Just answer a few questions if you don't want to die."

Walking up to the demon, I placed my foot on top of his head and applied some pressure. His head came into contact with the ground.

"Khhh."

Using every ounce of his strength to raise his head, the demon glared my way, but I ignored him and lowered my body to meet his eyes. Along the way, I removed my foot which was pressed against his face.

He was only a Baron-ranked demon. Therefore, I wasn't too worried about him running away.

"Hmmm."

Taking out a black frit from my pocket, I presented it to the demon in front of me.

"I'll give you this if you start speaking."

The demon's face changed instantly the moment I took out the core. He was giving me a look filled with greed.

I secretly smirked when I saw this.

Having killed as many demons as I did, it was inevitable for me to pick up a couple of devil fruits. Since I had no use for them, I could use them as a good bargaining chip.

"If you want this core, you better answer my questions properly."

"...How should I believe you?"

The demon's voice was rather calm, but I could tell that this was merely a pretense. It was very subtle but there was a tremble in his voice as he spoke.

'He's scared.'

"How should you believe me?…Mhh."

I frowned underneath my mask.

After a while, I just shrugged my shoulders.

"You don't really have a choice either way. I can just kill you with a single slap. If you don't answer my questions I'll just go to another demon. Someone will eventually speak, it's not like the questions I'm about to ask are a secret…"

I slowly raised my hand.

The demon flinched when he saw this.

"I will speak! I will speak!"

He repeatedly shouted.

There was clear fear in his eyes as he said those words.

'Good…'

Lowering my hand, I deeply gazed into the demon's eyes.

"Alright, I'll make this simple. Tell me what you know about Morian."

Although what my other self said usually ended up being correct, I still didn't trust him.

Before making any moves, I wanted to assess the situation for myself.

My next set of actions would be based on the demon's answers.

"Marion?"

"That's right, tell me anything you know about it. Especially about the arena."

The demon's face changed a bit as he hesitated to speak. I pressed my hand to his throat when I saw this.
