Demon King's Grand Fleet

Ye Zhuo's Observation Haki swept across the entire area.

But the Florian Triangle was vast; there was no way to find him in a short time.

He could also use the Wind Demon Aura to disperse all the clouds and fog here.

Brook had no shadow. The moment he encountered sunlight, he would be burned to death.

"Brook is already bones. Can he die again?"

After thinking it over, Ye Zhuo decided to search personally.

"Hancock, just make a round here. There's an invisible pervert in Moria's territory, so be careful."

"Where is Captain going? I want to go too."

The Empress looked at Ye Zhuo with haughty defiance.

"I'm just taking a look around. I'm helping Laboon find his family."

Laboon, tethered by a rope, moved slowly through the Florian Triangle.

After hearing this, no one tried to stop him any longer.

Ye Zhuo paused.

The next second, he vanished.

The Rabbit Talisman was activated to its fullest, and he disappeared in a blur as swift as wind and rain.

With the Rabbit Talisman and Rooster Talisman empowering him, he used Ultra-Long Distance Observation Haki to search for Brook.

Based on his memories of the pirate ship Brook had sailed on, as well as his memories of Brook's music—

It took an hour before he finally heard that familiar song.

Binks' Sake!

"Yohohoho!"

Brook was playing music alone. It was hard to imagine that such a moving scene involved a skeleton who liked looking at panties.

"It's been a long time since I encountered a living person. Most who dare come here lose their shadows and live in darkness forever."

"Shadows? I have plenty."

Before Ye Zhuo finished speaking, Shadowkhan emerged all around them like mushrooms after rain.

"Yohohoho, how interesting. Could it be that Moria is already dead?"

Brook looked around, but his shadow had not returned.

It seemed Moria was still alive. Then where had Ye Zhuo's Shadowkhan come from?

"People on the sea call me the Demon King. Everyone says I'm a copy created by the Copy-Copy Fruit."

"Is that so? Mr. Demon King, I never expected you could copy the Shadow-Shadow Fruit."

Brook politely offered him a cup of coffee.

"I don't really like it. Strong liquor suits me better."

Ye Zhuo smiled. "I didn't just come here to find you. I also brought a friend for you to meet."

"Is that so? Mr. Demon King, your friend most likely doesn't know me."

Brook had lived for far too long. He could not believe that any of his friends were still alive.

"His name is Laboon. He's a whale I met at Twin Cape."

"La... Laboon!"

Brook froze for a moment, then sprang to his feet.

He grabbed Ye Zhuo's arms with both hands.

"Laboon is still alive? That's wonderful! I'm about to cry!

But I'm already dead. Where would a skeleton get tears?

Yohohohoho!"

Brook fell silent for a moment before bursting into laughter.

"Come with me. Go see him."

Ye Zhuo took Brook with him, and the two flashed away, returning along the same route.

They stopped in front of a large ship.

To his surprise, the Empress and the others were beating up Absalom, the Invisibility Fruit user.

"Captain!"

Kalifa immediately reported the situation.

"After Captain left, this man infiltrated our ship.

But the moment he stepped onto the deck, Vice Captain Empress detected him with her Observation Haki!"

Vivi, Tashigi, Nami, and Robin were all beating him up.

The Empress stared at him with a frosty expression.

"You dared to try infiltrating the Demon King? You're courting death!"

Robin said, "Let me tear him into several pieces, then throw him into the sea to feed the fish."

"How terrifying! Damn it, I didn't do anything! I just got on board to take a look. Aren't you going too far?"

Absalom had been beaten miserably.

The crew also had their bows drawn, all aimed at him.

"Let me do it!"

Nami used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, turning her entire body into lightning.

A bolt of lightning struck Absalom, instantly leaving him charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

"You've caught a disease called becoming a woman!"

Vivi used the Disease-Disease Fruit to turn the half-dead Absalom into a woman.

The next moment—

Robin twisted her into a knot with the Flower-Flower Fruit.

"Let me do it. I'll chop her into eight pieces!"

Tashigi drew her sword. She had already resolved to learn Haki from the crew of Amazon Lily.

Before that, this was the perfect chance to practice!

"Help! What did I even do wrong? I was just passing through!"

Naturally, Absalom was lying.

He simply had not expected that the Demon King was not someone he could provoke.

"Captain, let me handle this!"

The Empress looked at Ye Zhuo pleadingly.

It was only because I happened to come back.

If I'd returned a minute later, you would've already chopped him into eight pieces. Why even ask me?

"Whatever."

Ye Zhuo waved a hand. This was not his priority right now.

"Mero Mero!"

With a single petrification attack from the Empress, Absalom completely turned into a stone statue.

Seeing this—

Brook, who had been delighted moments ago, decisively gave up the idea of looking at all the beautiful women's panties.

He swallowed hard and buried that thought deep in his heart.

"Laboon!"

With a single word from Ye Zhuo, Laboon turned around.

Brook looked at Laboon, and both of them froze for a moment.

Laboon had never imagined that the person it had waited for had already become a skeleton.

Brook had never imagined that Laboon had grown so huge.

"Long time no see, Laboon!"

Laboon cried out happily as well.

To them, there was no one else but each other.

Brook's afro could not frolic around!

"But I have no shadow. I can't leave here with Laboon."

At that thought, both Brook and Laboon grew sad.

Ye Zhuo untied the rope and handed it to Brook.

"Take Laboon to find your pirate ship and wait there. I'll bring your shadow back."

"What do you need me to do, Mr. Demon King?"

"I need you to keep Laboon company for a while."

Hearing that, Brook stood there in silence.

How I wish I could follow a captain like this. What a pity. Just looking at his crew, I know there's no chance.

On the sea, meeting was fate. Farewell.

The Demon King gradually vanished before Brook and Laboon.

It had not sailed away; it was simply invisible through the Snake Talisman.

[ Ding! ]

[ Side quest completed: Laboon and Brook reunited ]

[ Quest reward: Shadowkhan · Night Bat ]

The invisible Demon King rode the wind and waves.

Ye Zhuo stepped on the face of the stone Absalom.

[ Main chain quest refreshed: Demon King's Grand Fleet I: Defeat Moria and invite Perona aboard ]

[ Quest reward: Shadowkhan · Hunter Claw ]

"Another chain quest!"

Ye Zhuo had just caught his breath when he looked at the new quest reward.

The Shadowkhan Hunter Claw had a drill in one hand and pincers in the other.

It looked like a fusion of a lobster and crab, with decent speed and strength.

"Perona? Her ability is quite good. It would work to invite her aboard as a psychologist."

Ye Zhuo rubbed his fists, already forming a plan in his heart.

Perona saw Moria as her father.

If he killed Moria, recruiting a crew member would be difficult. He had to beat him into a cripple instead!
