"Senga wants my Devil Fruit? Does he intend to kill me?"
Brook looked serious; this was no joke.
Devil Fruit only reappear when the Ability User dies. More importantly, Brook's current life is sustained by the Revive-Revive Fruit- Revive Fruit, Revive-Revive Fruit.
Brook isn't afraid of death. Having lost all his companions and reduced to this inhuman state, he's had enough of living.
What has kept him alive until now is a promise he made to the whale Laboon; he doesn't want to die until that promise is fulfilled.
Senga certainly didn't want to take Brook's life. Brook was a rather interesting person with good character, though he was a bit of a lecher.
However, being lecherous isn't really a problem; Senga herself is a bit lecherous to some extent, as long as it doesn't reach the disgusting level like Momonosuke's.
Mentioning Momonosuke, Senga couldn't help but wonder if he would see the kid's soul if he really entered the underworld. If he did, the kid would be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, a wicked smile appeared on Senga's face.
Brook was terrified when he saw Senga's wicked smile, and he instinctively took two steps back.
Senga realized that his laughter was somewhat inappropriate; Brook still thought he was going to kill him.
So he immediately explained,
"Don't be nervous, I have special methods to save your life after removing your demon."
"Huh? There's such a method? Senga, you really scared my heart out just now, even though I don't have a heart... Yohohohoho!"
Brook, being a carefree and easygoing person, easily believed Senga's words.
Moreover, if his life wasn't in danger, then whether or not there was fruit was somewhat irrelevant to him.
Brook's current understanding of the Revive-Revive Fruit is very limited; he still believes that the fruit's only power is the ability to revive him once after death.
In the anime Brook spent two years training before gradually learning to use the Underworld Cold Air and his soul in battle. However, in Senga's opinion, this level was still a waste of this top-grade fruit. If the Revive-Revive Fruit were in his hands with the Rinnegan, it would definitely unleash even greater power.
Senga felt a sense of familiarity and amusement as she listened to Brook's classic dry humor.
Aside from the female characters, Brook is his favorite character in the Straw Hat Pirates, so he figured that since he had Brook's Devil Fruit, he might as well do something for him.
But what could possibly be worth more than his Revive-Revive Fruit?
Senga lowered her head, searching her memory for anything about Brook.
Senga's gaze lingered on Brook's feet for a moment, and she actually thought of an important plot point.
A dazzling purple light suddenly flashed from Senga's body. Under the light, he noticed that there was no shadow under Brook's feet.
Seeing this, Senga nodded secretly. Just as he remembered, Brook now had no shadow.
His shadow had been stolen by Moria, the Devil Fruit User, and stuffed into the Zombie Ryuma.
This can serve as Senga's reward for the Revive-Revive Fruit.
Thinking of this, Senga smiled at Brook and said,
"I can't just take your Devil Fruit for nothing; I'll give you a satisfactory reward."
After saying that, Senga didn't wait for Brook's response and disappeared in front of him in a flash of lightning.
Brook stared blankly at the spot where Senga had disappeared, and after a while, he shouted,
"Eh? Senga! This fruit is useless to me now. You can take it if you want, as long as you can talk to me a little longer!"
But Senga was long gone, and all Brook could see were shadows.
He hung his head dejectedly and muttered to himself,
"Am I all alone again...?"
The Devil's Triangle, on Thriller Bark.
Moria was lounging on the plush sofa, engrossed in studying zombies on his own turf.
Aside from the monthly quota that Senga gives him, he will absolutely not leave the house.
However, Moria was still two short of this month's quota, which annoyed him. He couldn't help but complain to Absalom and the others standing nearby.
"That Purple Kirin is truly despicable. I have to go out again in the next few days to complete his damn mission!"
Ghost Princess Perona, seeing Moria's resentful expression and finding no intention of helping her captain, instead covered her mouth and let out a mocking laugh.
"Hooray, hooray... Lord Moria, I actually think this kind of mission is for your own good. You should get out and move around more!"
Hogback remained silent, adopting an attitude of indifference.
Only Absalom was somewhat considerate; he at least knew to comfort Moria.
"Lord Moria, with your strength, taking down a few ragtag pirate crews is a piece of cake. Don't worry about it too much!"
Seeing that one of his subordinates finally showed him some consideration, Moria felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He looked at Absalom with hopeful eyes and said,
"But I'm so busy, why don't you go and finish this damn task for me!"
"Forehead..."
Absalom's expression froze for a moment, then he quickly waved his hand and said,
"Lord Moria is too kind. My abilities are limited. If I am captured by the enemy, I will have to trouble you to rescue me!"
This was just an excuse he used to shirk responsibility. What he didn't know was that in the original storyline, Moria actually went to Blackbeard's territory to try and save him, but he had already been killed by Blackbeard, who then stole his Clear-Clear Fruit powers.
However, Blackbeard is now dead at the hands of Senga, Shiryu of the Rain was also annihilated by Senga's poison, leaving no trace of him. Absalom has thus escaped a terrible fate.
Moria didn't say much after being politely rejected. Although he looked a bit sinister, he still cherished his subordinates.
Absalom's abilities were indeed limited, and Moria didn't really expect him to help him complete the mission.
It seems that in the end, he'll have to take matters into his own hands!
Moria sighed silently, taking a look at his "Three Captains"!
A gothic lolita who likes to mock him, a perverted doctor who likes to have relationships with corpses, and the last one who finally shows him some respect as his boss, but can't really do anything substantial...
There's really no one else who's gone this far as to be a boss. He should just pin his hopes on those zombies!
Moria shook his head helplessly, struggled to get up from the sofa, and prepared to go out and find some unlucky pirates to vent his frustration on.
Suddenly, a voice that terrified him rang out.
"Moria, you seem to be having a pretty leisurely time."
