Thriller Park (3rd Update)
The Devil's Triangle Sea Area.
Nami's voice echoed throughout the Going Merry via the megaphone, "We have a guest."
Luffy, who was playing "flying high" with Little Merry Luffy.
He craned his neck, circled the boat, and looked around. "Where is it?"
"Hehehe... Greetings, esteemed travelers."
A chilling laugh rang in my ears.
A skeleton, devoid of any flesh or skin, appeared aboard the Going Merry.
"Wow!"
Little Merry was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes, and she didn't know where to put her little arms and legs.
She hid behind Luffy at lightning speed, hugging his leg, only revealing half of her chubby little face, her eyes filled with fear and curiosity.
"Hello, Bone!"
Luffy grinned, his eyes narrowing into crescents, and he chuckled.
Since the Ship Girl Little Merry took human form, he has become noticeably more mature in dealing with unexpected events.
The frizzy-haired skull took off his top hat and bowed repeatedly to the captain and the others.
Then it introduced itself, "Welcome to Thriller Park. I am Brook, the chief Yue Family under Lord Loki the Evil God."
Upon hearing this, the Ghost Girl floating in the air asked in an unfriendly tone, "Where is Lord Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai?"
Perona returned to her homeland, but her mood was not very good.
The appearance of the comical skeleton calling himself Brook signifies that Thriller Bark is no longer under Gecko Moria's control.
"Ghost Princess Highness, Lord Moria and Lord Thor have formed an alliance, so you need not worry."
The black frame of the skull with the afro hairstyle circled around Perona.
It shamelessly asked, "May I see your XX (nei=ku)?"
Brook's words were censored.
It repeated the question twice unconsciously, but could only make a "beep beep" sound each time.
Blocked words!
Wang Yan's voice echoed Youyou.
"As a gentleman, one should not ask a girl such a vulgar question."
"Brook, you need to correct this bad habit of yours."
Hearing this, the afro-haired skull, who had been teased, was a little annoyed and wanted to retort.
But when its dark, hollow eyes Quasi-King, the bones in his entire body instantly went limp.
An existence that surpasses even the Three Admirals of the Navy and even the Commander-in-Chief Kong Garp...
[Absolute Justice], Wang Yan.
For the past month or so, the entire Grand Line has been discussing this name.
His fame has even spread far and wide.
In particular, both God of War Thor, and Loki the Evil God, have repeatedly emphasized that one should never provoke Wang Yan.
"When you meet him, you should treat him with the highest level of VIP treatment."
Although Brook no longer has a brain beneath his smooth skull, he still retains his memories thanks to the Devil Power of the Revive-Revive Fruit).
Recalling Thor and Loki's words, Brook made a very obvious swallowing motion.
"You're right, Your Wang Yan!"
The skull with the afro delivered a lame joke without any sense of incongruity, "When I recognized you, I was so scared I kept swallowing! Even though I don't have saliva or a throat! Hehehe!"
Wang Yan wasn't interested in Brook, so he simply waved his hand, letting Luffy go off to talk to Luffy and his crew.
Because of their connection to the Reverse Mountain Whale "Laboon," Luffy and his crew quickly became friends with Brook.
Their relationship quickly warmed up.
Brook leads everyone into the Thriller Park, spilling the beans like beans from a bamboo tube.
"This was originally the Thriller Bark, but now Loki and Lord Thor have taken over and turned it into an amusement Paradise."
"Although it's a horror-themed amusement Paradise, it actually hides many potential rules."
"If you can perform well in Lord Loki's 'The Evil God Has Arrived' series of Subconscious Film, or gain Lord Thor's favor in 'The God of War Trial,' you will receive a generous reward!"
"It's said that the reward for God of War Trial is to become a personal disciple of the God of War Thor, and might even be introduced to an organization called the Main God Space..."
It turns out that Brook was not suited to dealing with secrets.
In just half an hour of flight, it revealed almost all the secrets it knew.
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Protagonist Academy enter the Thriller Park.
A mysterious melody began to play softly.
Bass, piano, drums...
A multitude of voices gathered together.
The low notes of the spiral swirled and surged, and the melodious and brief horn sound entered the ears, giving rise to a sense of cold tranquility.
Music is like a metal cage, trapping me and preventing me from escaping.
At the same time, this cage-like confinement is also a form of protection.
The brief tranquility was instantly shattered, smashed to pieces.
The music became noisy.
The heavy metal electronic music trembled slightly, as if countless walking corpses were whispering and howling in my ears.
Their purest malice, their most primal hunger...
They bloom amidst the carnage, like flowers emerging from the mud at dawn and dusk...
They all appeared in my mind.
Repressive yet elegant, dark and serene.
Thriller Park only show the Ikkaku the Iceburg, yet they still force people to become immersed in them, making it difficult to escape.
The Ghost Girl Perona seemed to enjoy the atmosphere, her lips curving upwards into a wicked smile.
Nami got goosebumps and couldn't help but ask, "Did you make this music? It sounds nice, but... it feels a little weird."
Upon hearing this, Brook, the skeletal figure with the afro, hunched over even more.
He shook his head. "No, this song 'Resident Evil' is the work of an otherworldly Yue Family named Marilyn Manson. It can be translated as 'Parasitic Evil Spirit' or 'Resident Demon,' and I'm a huge fan!"
"One day, I will become a great Yue Family like him!"
As Brook spoke, a seed called ideal seemed to well up in her empty eye sockets.
"Bones, you're quite interesting! Become my partner!"
Luffy grabbed Brook's shoulder and started acting up again.
"It's impossible, you should give up."
Brook decisively declined his invitation. "Under Lord Loki, I can come into contact with all kinds of artists from the Myriad Worlds and Infinite Planes to improve my skills. Please don't hinder my dream, Luffy!"
For the first time since setting sail, Luffy has given up on trying to recruit people onto his ship.
He looked intently at Brook.
After a long silence, Luffy said with a grin, "Good luck, Brook! I hope you can become the King of Music!"
Thank you for your kind words! I will try my best!
Brook seemed a little embarrassed, feeling that talking about ideals in front of his new friends was too childish.
It opened a can of fresh milk, chugging it down its throat while leading everyone on a tour of the "Thriller Park."
After the food and lodging were arranged, everyone went their separate ways.
The miserable students at the Protagonist Academy are still racking their brains over writing a 10,000-word travel diary.
Luffy and Zoro arrived at the virtual gaming area and participated in the "God of War Trial" e-sports competition.
Meanwhile, Sanji, Usopp, Koby, Tashigi, Franky, and others entered the "Evil God Cinema".
