What Do You Think I'll Do Now That I Can Secretly Walk Through Walls?

"That damned Shirahoshi, how dare she do such a thing..." Vander Decken said with a ferocious expression, "I want her dead!"

"I want her dead!!"

As he spoke, Vander Decken couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

He'd been pursuing Shirahoshi for ten years, so why did she run off with a bunch of pirates she'd just met...?

Thinking about this, Vander Decken felt his heart breaking.

"Captain Decken, you..."

"I'm not sad, I'm not sad at all!"

Subordinate:...

Why cry like this if you're not sad?

"More than that, I'm curious about why Captain Decken's hair turned out like this," another Fish-Man said, looking at Vander Decken's Mediterranean hairstyle. "Why is a patch missing?"

"Because I was dumped, you bastard!" Vander Decken said. "So I shaved my head!"

"Huh?!"

"So that's why?!"

Hearing Vander Decken's words, all the other Fish-Man were dumbfounded.

Why would someone shave their head for such a strange reason? Does it make sense?

"Captain Decken, don't be sad," said the eel -Fish-Man beside him. "After all, you killed Shirahoshi, didn't you?"

Captain Decken has lost his weapons at least dozens of times during this period. Under these circumstances... the enemy definitely won't survive!

"No, Shirahoshi isn't dead at all!" Vander Decken exclaimed, suddenly raising his head. "The weapon I threw is the best proof!"

Every time he threw a weapon, he would throw it in the opposite direction, just to make sure that damned woman, Shirahoshi, hadn't been killed by him.

But the result... every time it seemed the other person was still alive!

Thinking about this, Vander Decken was furious.

"She survived so many attacks?" the eel -Fish-Man exclaimed in astonishment. "How did she do that?"

"It must have been the Straw Hat and that Sunglasses Man we talked about before!" Vander Decken said through gritted teeth.

Otherwise, Shirahoshi would have been killed by him long ago!

"The Straw Hat and the Sunglasses Man, huh?"

Recalling the information that Ryūgū had mentioned before, the eel Fish-Man fell into deep thought.

Why would humans care about such things?

"Captain, what do we do now?" another Fish-Man said. "With those two around, taking down Shirahoshi won't be an easy task."

At least he didn't think his side was a match for the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Even if it's difficult, I will kill her!" Vander Decken said angrily. "This unfaithful woman, I must kill her!"

The Fish-Man standing to the side:...

So, what exactly should we do?

Just then, Vander Decken noticed an enormous ship not far away!

"This is... Noah's Ark!"

At that moment, an incredibly bold idea came to Vander Decken's mind.

Since everyone wants to oppose him, then... he'll just gather them all together and wipe them out!

At this thought, a look of madness suddenly appeared in Vander Decken's eyes.

"What happened to Noah's Ark?" the eel -Fish-Man asked, puzzled.

After saying that, he glanced at the enormous ship, which was half the size of Fish-Man Island, clearly not understanding what his captain meant.

"Just wait and see, you'll find out soon enough," Vander Decken grinned.

Then, the man covered in bubbles rushed out of his boat and sped to the side of Noah's Ark.

"Target hohohohoho~"

"I've really found something incredible!" Vander Decken said with a mad look in his eyes.

With this, he can destroy everything on Fish-Man Island!

The Neptune Royal Family, Shirahoshi, Hody's Crew... they all have to die!

Target! Hoo hoo hoo hoo!

Target roar roar roar!!!

Then, the man placed his hand on the warship and used the power of his Devil Fruit to mark the enormous vessel.

After finishing this task, Vander Decken turned to his crew and said, "Men!"

Get ready to witness a miracle!

"Profound!!!"

"Damn it, the water level is really rising!"

Looking at the rising water level below, Usopp's face turned green as he said, "I don't want to go back into the sea!"

"I didn't want to either..."

Brook said with a pained expression, "I just dried myself off."

The feeling of being in the seawater was just too uncomfortable, so... he really didn't want to go into the ocean again.

"How dare you say such a thing?" Usopp roared, his shark-like mouth agape. "Whose fault is it that you ended up like this?!"

He had initially thought that Brook, who was pretending to be dead, could find a chance to rescue them, but... this guy jumped up and scared them?

Isn't that stupid?!

Thinking of this, Usopp was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Help!" Brook cried out, "I'm going to be killed!"

Ah~

"I think I'm already dead~"

"Yohohohoho~"

Seeing Brook laughing so hard, Usopp's head started to ache with anger.

This guy really doesn't seem to have any remorse at all.

Then, Usopp turned to Zoro, his face contorted with worry, and said, "Zoro, you have to think of something..."

He really didn't want to drown... that would be too humiliating!

"Sure." Zoro shifted his body, gesturing for the other to look at the chains binding him, and said, "Then help me unlock these chains."

"Of course, it would be even better if we had a knife..."

Before Zoro could finish speaking, Usopp jumped up excitedly and shouted, "That's right, unlock the chains!"

"Bang!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Usopp bumped into the top of the cage, instantly getting a big bump on his head, which hurt so much that tears streamed down his face.

"What, you have a way?" Zoro asked curiously.

Brook looked curious upon hearing this, clearly sharing the same thought as Zoro.

If the other side really has a way... then they can escape alive!

"Of course!"

Usopp raised his head and said, "Now that you've reminded me, I do remember my Devil Fruit ability."

As he spoke, Usopp glanced down at the chains binding his body and continued, "My More-More Fruit can increase the size of objects, making it perfect for changing the size of these chains."

If he increases the size of the chain, he should be able to break free from it.

In this way... he will be free!

"Increase the volume?"

Zoro paused for a moment, then excitedly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's do it!"

If they can get out of this damn cage, they can leave here alive!

"That's right, Usopp, let's do it!" Brook said excitedly.

Finally, there's a way to escape this damned cage... That's great!

Yohohohoho~

Upon hearing this, Usopp did not immediately take action, but instead became hesitant, clearly having some concerns.

Zoro was taken aback when he saw Usopp's expression, then asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

At a point like this, what's there to hesitate about?

"If we make too much noise here, we might attract those people," Usopp said.

If those powerful Fish-Man are lured over... they might lose their only chance.

After all... Fish-Man can attack them with seawater!

"Why do you care what we do?" Zoro said speechlessly, "Escape is the most important thing!"

The Fish-Man's matter can wait until they arrive, but the current situation cannot be delayed!

Otherwise, they'll drown sooner or later!

Usopp thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said, "That seems to be true..."

The Fish-Man can be dealt with later, but the seawater issue cannot be delayed!

"Stop talking nonsense and get started!" Zoro urged.

"Okay, don't rush me."

After Usopp finished speaking, he glanced down at the chains and began to activate his Devil Fruit power.

The next moment...

"Buzz~"

"Bump!!"

Zoro:!!!

Brook:???

Zoro and Brook were dumbfounded when they saw the enormous chain that suddenly grew Admiral and slammed them against the iron bars.

"Hello!"

"What are you doing?!" Zoro roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough and lifted his legs in time... he would have been crippled!

Thinking of this, Zoro's eyes turned very hostile.

"Usopp..."

Brook said with a pained expression, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable from being poked."

Ah~

"Although I don't have a stomachache to complain of, yohohohoho..."

"I'm so sorry..."

Upon realizing his mistake, Usopp immediately looked embarrassed. He hadn't expected the chain to pin Zoro and Usopp against the railing.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of those chains right now!" Zoro said, his face gradually turning red. "Then shrink those chains and throw them away!"

Restrained by chains, he felt his breathing becoming somewhat difficult.

"Good."

Usopp nodded, then chuckled, "But you two are really quite amusing!"

"Ha..."

"Usopp, the leftover food might need to be..."

Usopp:!!!

Usopp was startled by Brook's words, then immediately jumped out of his chains, saying, "Brook, please hold back!"

Please.

Usopp then shrank the chains again and threw them out through the gap in the cage.

"Call..."

Zoro, now free, let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Finally, I can breathe properly again."

That feeling of having someone pressing against your lungs is absolutely awful.

Brook laughed and said, "Yohohohoho, I don't need to vomit either..."

"Shut up, you bastard!" Usopp roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

Don't repeat yourself!

"Yohohohoho~"

Seeing Brook unable to stop laughing, Usopp shook his head helplessly, then chuckled, "Luckily, I've become Devil Fruit User now, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to solve my current predicament."

As he spoke, Usopp placed his hand on Zoro's chains and controlled the speed to release Zoro.

Then, he turned around and released Brook in the same way.

"Finally, we can move around freely," Zoro said, clenching his fists.

Of course, it would be even better if I could find my weapon.

"What do we do now?" Brook asked, looking at the two of them.

Although they had gained their freedom, they were not out of danger.

"Of course," Usopp said, giving a thumbs-up. "I used my power to make the cage bigger!"

With him around, nothing unexpected will happen!

Usopp then placed his hand on the cage and activated his Devil Fruit ability.

The next moment...

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

"Click click click!"

As Usopp channeled his power, the cage grew larger and larger, eventually expanding several times its original size!

Because of Usopp's ability, the gaps in the surrounding railings became so large that a person could easily pass through!

"Now we can," Usopp said, glancing at the huge gap at the edge of the cage. "It's big enough for us to walk through."

After finishing speaking, Usopp paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "Leaving the Ryugu Kingdom is a bit troublesome."

They came with that great white shark, but when they left...

"More than that, I want to find my and Brook's swords first," Zoro said.

Without weapons, he wouldn't be able to fight properly once he went out, so he needed to find weapons first.

"Squeak..."

"I also want to find your weapon, but the problem is... where am I supposed to find it?" Usopp said, looking troubled.

He knew how much Zoro and Brook needed weapons, but they had no idea where the Fish-Man Race had put the four swords.

"Squeak..."

"No matter what, I have to find the knife."

After saying that, Zoro walked to the edge of the cage, glanced down at the seawater below, and continued, "How about this, I'll go out through that inlet and see if I can find the sword inside the Ryugu Kingdom."

Although this is quite risky, there's no other way now.

"Idiot, have you forgotten that you're human?" Usopp roared, opening his shark mouth. "We don't have any coral bubbles, how can we possibly stay underwater for long?"

"And have you forgotten that you have no sense of direction?"

"If you get lost here, where will we find you?"

Zoro:...

Can you take back that last sentence?

"Squeak..."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Zoro asked, annoyed.

This won't work, that won't work, what should I do?

"Um... you two."

Brook leaned closer and asked, "Did you two hear anything strange?"

"Strange sound?"

Zoro paused for a moment, then said, "It seems like there's been a strange creaking sound coming from there since just now."

What is that sound? Where is it coming from?

"Squeak..."

Usopp:!!!

Usopp, whose attention was focused on this, immediately understood what was going on.

The cage and the chains on it are not a single piece, so his ability did not work directly!

Then, looking up at the sky with a horrified expression, he said, "Perhaps the chain can't support the weight of the cage, so it's about to break!"

If the circuit were to break at this moment... they would fall directly into the ocean!

At that time, his Devil Fruit power will be removed, and the three of them will drown!

As if understanding Usopp's meaning, Zoro's expression immediately changed.

He immediately rushed to the outside of the cage, grabbed the bars, and said, "Then what are you waiting for, you idiot? Hurry up and use your power to thicken the chains!"

"Profound!"

Usopp understood how urgent the situation was, so he stopped talking nonsense and immediately ran outside, grabbed the railing, and started climbing.

"Yohohohoho~"

"So that's what caused the creaking sound."

"What are you laughing at?!" Zoro roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "You come out here too!"

Although Brook is practically a dead man, he's still hated by the sea and could be killed by the water, so he has to leave!

Brook wasn't angry at being yelled at; instead, she laughed even harder.

"Yohohohoho~"

He then turned and went outside the cage, rushing to the top at an even faster speed.

This move completely stunned Zoro and Usopp.

"Huh?"

"So fast?"

Upon hearing the two voices below, Brook laughed and said, "I'm just a skeleton now, so naturally I'm as light as a feather!"

This level of climbing was nothing special for him.

Usopp paused for a moment after hearing this. Should he be envious?

"Oh, Usopp, you'd better hurry." Looking up at Brook high above, he said, "The chains are starting to crack."

"I reckon this chain will break soon."

Usopp:!!!

Upon hearing Brook's words, Usopp was immediately startled. He then channeled the power of his Devil Fruit into himself and quickly reached the top of the cage.

Then, without hesitation, Usopp placed his hand on the chain and made it several times thicker!

After finishing this task, Usopp wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "At least it didn't..."

"Squeak~"

Usopp:???

No, why is it still creaking?

"It doesn't seem to be the case," Brook said, looking up at the high place. "Because of the crack that appeared earlier, simply thickening it won't stop the crack from widening."

"Squeak..."

Hearing that death knell-like voice, Usopp was immediately silenced.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

After shaking his head, Usopp placed his hand on the cage below, using his power to shrink it back to its original size, and then used his power to make it three times larger.

After finishing this task, Usopp withdrew his hand and said, "Now everything should be alright, right?"

The three-fold top wasn't very big, but at least it allowed them to move around.

"Yes, it's all right now." Brook, looking up at the sky, said, "The crack hasn't widened any further."

"That's good..."

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.

The problem is finally solved.

Just then, Zoro's furious voice came from below.

"Hello!"

"What the hell are you two bastards doing?!" Zoro roared, opening his shark mouth wide. "Small one minute, big the next, what are you doing?!"

If he hadn't been so skilled, he would have been thrown flying!

Zoro then increased his speed and quickly rushed forward.

"Because there's something wrong with the chain up there," Usopp said, looking at Zoro climbing up. "That's why I shrunk the cage."

Zoro frowned upon hearing this, glanced at the high place, and then said, "Such a large crack has appeared...?"

No wonder Usopp was in such a hurry.

Thinking this through, Zoro calmed down and said nothing more.

He then said, "Alright, now that the three of us have escaped from the cage, we need to think about our next move."

"As for the next move..." Usopp thought for a moment and said, "I can destroy this building, but the problem is... there's seawater outside!"

Once he destroys the building, seawater will immediately rush in.

At that point... he and Brook, both Devil Fruit User, would be finished!

"That is indeed a problem," Zoro said, frowning.

Doing that would not only endanger the three of them, but also prevent him from retrieving the weapon.

"It would be great if Nami could bring Xi Yan along," Usopp said.

With Xi Yan's abilities, he could easily take them away safely from the Ryugu Kingdom.

"That's true, but Xi Yan isn't here after all," Zoro said. "So we still have to figure out a way ourselves."

A distant source of water can never quench an immediate thirst, can it?

"Let's think of something..." Usopp said, somewhat exasperated, "What can we possibly think of?"

There were only three people in total, and two of them turned out to Devil Fruit User were afraid of seawater...

"Now that things have come to this... I have no other choice but to resort to that one move!!"

"That move?"

Usopp looked at Brook with a puzzled expression and asked, "What, that move?"

Could it be that Brook has mastered some incredibly powerful technique during his two years of training?

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation appeared in Usopp's eyes.

"That's right, that's the move!" Brook laughed. "Isn't Mr. Pappagu also in this Ryugu Kingdom? So... if I can find him, I can get Bubble Coral, and I can also get him to retrieve Zoro's and my weapons!"

After all... that guy was a starfish!

Then, he sat down on the ground and began to unleash his power.

"Bones, bones, bones, bones..."

Usopp and Zoro looked at Brook with some confusion, clearly not understanding what he was doing.

"So, what exactly is that ability you were talking about...?"

Before Usopp could finish speaking, he noticed Brook's soul had escaped from his body.

"Huh?!"

"Eh!!!"

Usopp's eyes bulged in shock as he watched the soul floating in mid-air.

"Spirit... soul?!"

Zoro looked at Brook with surprise, clearly not expecting the guy to be able to do something like that.

Brook was pleased with their expressions. He then turned and flew away, saying, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back."

"No, wait a minute!" Usopp exclaimed, "You should at least give us an explanation!"

Zoro then said, "Is this some kind of astral projection?"

"Yohohohoho~"

"Zoro is right, this is indeed my soul leaving my body," Brook laughed. "This is an ability I've developed over the past two years."

As Brook recalled what had happened, his expression gradually became complicated.

"When I was on my world tour, I hit a roadblock for some reason," Brook said. "TD sales and attendance were also gradually decreasing, and I didn't know what to do."

"Until one day... I learned how to have an out-of-body experience!"

"It was at this moment that I discovered the shortcomings in my work and perfectly broke through the bottleneck!"

"Shortcomings?"

Usopp looked at Brook with suspicion. Could this guy possibly have any shortcomings?

He felt that the other person's music was always very impressive.

"That's right, there are shortcomings~"

Brook nodded at first, then, with blood streaming from his nose, said, "What do you think I would do with this ability to sneak through walls?"

"Any man would understand, right?"

"Yohohohoho~"

Zoro:...

Is this the original shortcoming?

This guy really is a perverted skeleton; no wonder he can hang out with Perverted Kappa!

Usopp, with his shark mouth wide open and tears streaming down his face, exclaimed, "I'm so envious, you jerk!"

"Zoro, I'm so envious of him!"

For some reason, he suddenly felt that his More-More Fruit no longer tasted good.

"Alright, enough talk." Zoro glanced down at the rising water level and said, "Let's hurry and find Pappagu!"

If they keep dawdling, they'll drown in the sea.

So... we'd better hurry up and go find someone!

"Profound!"

Brook nodded, then laughed and walked through the wall.

After watching the other person leave, Usopp said, "I hope that guy finds Pappagu successfully."

"It should be fine."

Sitting on the cage, Zoro calmly said, "After all, he can walk through walls."

With the ability to pass through walls, finding Pappagu shouldn't be a problem.

Just then, Brook's soul flew back.

Zoro:???

"How come you're back so soon?" Zoro asked, puzzled.

Could it be that they've already found Pappagu?

"Because I've discovered something strange," Brook said. "All the Fish-Man we encountered before have disappeared, and we don't know where they went."

"Maybe they've already left," Zoro guessed.

"Then what's the point of them occupying Ryugu Kingdom?" Usopp asked, dumbfounded.

After occupying Ryugu Kingdom, instead of staying there, they left with their people?

What is their purpose?

"How would I know?" Zoro shook his head, then grinned and said, "But... their leaving is good for us, isn't it!"

At least no one will bother them at this time.

"That seems to be true..."

At least those Fish-Man won't come here to bother them anymore.

Then, Usopp looked at Brook and said, "That's certainly good news, but I think you still need to find Pappagu as soon as possible."

"Oh, and don't forget the Bubble Coral!"

With weapons and Bubble Coral, they can leave this place.

"Yohohohoho~"

"Leave it to me!"

Brook laughed and nodded, then turned and left.

After watching them leave, Usopp said, "Those Fish-Man we encountered earlier, could they have gone to find Xi Yan others?"

"Then they're doomed," Zoro sneered.

The three of them were restrained by the seawater because of their carelessness, but Ninja like Xi Yan is not afraid of the sea!

As for the problems exposed?

Then just kill all the members of this so-called New Fish-Man Pirates!

After hearing Zoro's words, Usopp thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true."

With Xi Yan's strength, taking down these Fish-Man in the ocean would be a piece of cake.

After all... he's a powerful Ninja!

Then, Usopp glanced in the direction Brook had gone and said, "I wonder how long it will take them to come back."

"Don't overthink it, just wait quietly," Zoro said. "Once Pappagu brings the sword and Coral Bubble, we'll go find Luffy and the others."

"Profound!"

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?"

A frightened Pappagu hid behind a pillar, cautiously looking around, and said, "I came here to attend a banquet, so how did things turn out like this?"

First, there was a conflict with King Neptune of the Ryugu Kingdom, and then, due to the New Fish-Man Pirates, the His Majesty the King and Zoro were captured...

What kind of nonsense is this?!

What should he do now?

"If only Xi Yan were here."

Pappagu, sitting down against the wall, said sadly, "That way we won't have to fear the New Fish-Man Pirates anymore."

I just don't know how they are now, or if Camie has found them.

Just then, a terrifying voice rang out, making Pappagu's hat fly off.

"Mr. Pappagu ~"

"Who?"

A terrified Pappagu stood up, surveying the pitch-black surroundings, and exclaimed, "Who is it?!"

"It's me~"

"Mr. Pappagu ~"

"Yohohohoho~"

As Brook finished speaking, his soul passed through the wall and arrived in front of Pappagu.

"Yohohohoho~"

"Mr. Pappagu, I..."

"A ghost!!"

Seeing the soul glowing green, Pappagu was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, and his expression became one of utter terror.

Then, he turned around and started moving backwards, scrambling and crawling away into the distance.

"Huh?"

Brook was stunned as he watched Pappagu flee without looking back. Why was Mr. Pappagu running away?

"Hey, wait for me, Mr. Pappagu."

"Scare!"

"Starfish meat doesn't taste good, don't eat me!"

Brook:...

So when did he say he wanted to eat starfish meat?

"Hey, Mr. Pappagu, wait for me!"

"Don't come any closer, you horrible ghost!"

"Ah, although I am indeed a ghost now, I really don't eat starfish."

"Don't try to fool me, you horrible ghost!"

Brook:...

Is he really that scary?

Thinking of this, Brook turned to look at his reflection in the glass, then fell silent.

Seeing such a luminous spirit in a place with almost no light... is quite frightening.

But... why did he find it so interesting?

Yohohohoho~

"Mr. Pappagu, wait for me!"

"Don't come any closer!!"
