Buggy turned around and punched out, stopping the attack the moment it hit the person. The strong wind brought by the fist blew the opponent's hair to both sides, and the fog around the figure suddenly dispersed a lot. However, in the next moment, the surrounding fog came back one after another, making the vision blurry as before.
"It's you." Buggy looked at the person coming and slowly retracted his fist.
Lilina was stunned. When Buggy withdrew her fist, she patted her chest like a frightened deer and breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey... I'm already so pitiful, but you still want to attack me!"
"Poor... it doesn't exist. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Buggy glanced at Lilina, she was indeed hit by Ghost General just now, and she was indeed injured, but it seemed that the injury was not as serious as it seemed, otherwise she would not have the strength to come here, and she did not know when she actually ran behind him...
"Hey, hey, why are you acting like this! I just tried my best to help that pirate get the key and fought for you for a long time. Why can't I even say thank you!"
"Well..."
Listening to Lilina's words, Buggy had no way to refute for the time being. She did risk her life just now and flicked Seastone Handcuffs's key to Daoer. Only then did Tink and Jass found the opportunity to remove Seastone Handcuffs from his body, joined the battle, and delayed until Kaya and the others came over. If Lilina hadn't taken action, I'm afraid things would have developed in the opposite direction.
"Thank you..." Buggy said in a slightly slower tone, "So, what is your purpose?"
"Cooperation, of course cooperation!" Lilina clasped his hands behind his back, walked little by little on the ground, and turned around Buggy without any defense, "This underground palace is full of agencies. If you are not careful, it will be the end of Chop-Chop..."
After saying that, she paused and chuckled, "I forgot that you are Chop-Chop."
Buggy's face was full of black lines, "Let's get to the point."
"There are many traps here, but I happened to search and read the map of this underground palace before in the King's Castle, so I am familiar with the traps here and know how to get there. As long as we cooperate, we will soon be able to find Xilo. Frans, them, and what you want!"
"Oh? You are so diligent, what do you want to get?"
"Everyone gets what they need, everyone gets what they need, hee hee!" Lilina said with an unsubtle smile.
Buggy rolled his eyes and thought about it quickly. Judging from Lilina's actions, if it was not a very important thing, she would not rush to Weilan and make a lot of efforts to get close to Xilo.
If she is really familiar with this underground palace, then there is no reason to refuse her cooperation.
Buggy said, "We can cooperate, but I think it's better for you to reveal your purpose."
Lilina raised a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, walked to a stone statue, fumbled on the front of the stone statue's base for a while, then reached out and pressed a palm-sized stone in.
Then, a rumbling sound came from the stone wall on the left, and a secret door slowly opened.
Lili then turned around and looked at Buggy, "Let's talk while walking."
Only then did Buggy believe that Lilina was indeed familiar with the environment here. He walked over and followed Lilina.
After the two of them walked into the secret stone door, Lilina said, "I know you are a shrewd guy, so I won't make any mistakes. I came here for Source Tree."
Buggy asked, "Source Tree... what is it?"
"Source Tree is the immortal tree that connects Little Sabaody to this island, and its roots are rooted here. The thick mist in this underground palace is exhaled from Source Tree. Don't underestimate this mist, this is not an ordinary gas.
When this gas covers the surface of an object for a long time, it will form an airtight film, which can achieve anti-corrosion. Not only the roots of the tree, but also the tree body of Source Tree that is exposed to the wind and sun on the sea has not rotted or been eroded because of this principle. It is also true that the age of this sea tree is longer than the history of this country, and it is called the tree of origin..."
"You know a lot." Buggy was slightly surprised.
"Of course, I secretly read a lot of information and confidential documents."
Lilina led the way and said, "I don't know if you saw that guy in the castle. I heard that he is Shichibukai Gecko Moria's subordinate."
Buggy followed Lilina's footsteps, "Oh... you mean the invisible man, right?"
"It seems that you have met him, so do you know why this guy came here?"
"Why?" Buggy's curiosity suddenly aroused.
"It is because the film formed by this mist can maintain the activity of corpses that there are countless corpses in this underground palace that remain alive. In order to resurrect his wife, Xilo. Frans made a pact with Gecko Moria. He would use the corpse placed deep in this underground palace in exchange for resurrecting his dead wife."
"The deal on the corpse... No wonder you see the invisible man here. This kind of behavior is really in line with this guy Moria." Buggy nodded with understanding, then shook his head, "This Xilo is quite interesting, making this kind of deal with Moria, but unfortunately, his calculations are not good..."
Lilina looked back at Buggy's expression and said suspiciously, "Aren't you surprised? They are using corpses as bargaining chips!"
"I would feel weird if it was someone else, but if it was Moria... it would be perfectly normal."
After all, Buggy has traveled through time and understands each character's personality to some extent. It's not surprising that a pirate like Moria, who wants to use a zombie army to rule the sea, would go to great lengths to get a powerful corpse. He even got the corpse of Wano Country swordsman Ryuma!
Hearing what Buggy said, Lilina couldn't help but asked, "Hey... it seems that you know him very well. Does this Gecko Moria really have the ability to communicate between life and death and bring people back to life?"
"In a sense, it is true that the power of shadow can be used to 'resurrection' the dead. However, in the end, it is just to make an empty body moveable. But after all, a person's life is not limited to a rigid body, but a living soul..."
Lilina pouted in confusion, "Shadow? What are you talking about?"
Buggy shrugged, "Nothing..."
The two walked in silence for a while. After Lilina opened another stone door, Buggy remembered something and asked, "By the way, whose body was traded?"
"Oh..." Lilina replied, "It's the founding warrior, Spar."
