Inside the bathroom, the orange-haired beauty was pressed against the wall, seemingly posing for a moment.
"Wow, thank you."
When Usopp saw Nami, his eyes widened, and he bowed to express his joy.
"What do you mean, thank you?"
Chopper looked puzzled, not understanding why Usopp was bowing to Nami.
"Don't get in my way." Someone seemed to be whispering something.
You two idiots, come save me! And you too!
Enraged, Nami delivered a fatal blow to the chicken.
Absalom, who was invisible, was in so much pain that his testicles were crushed, and he had no choice but to release Nami.
"Hey, Usopp, Chopper, help me! There are people here!"
"Waaah..."
"It really does smell!"
Chopper immediately agreed.
"Still smelly? I'm so sorry."
Usopp had clearly misunderstood something else.
Chopper yelled, "It's not a fart, it's the smell of a person!"
Clang!
The bathroom window was opened.
He escaped through the window!
"Why is the window moving automatically...? What escaped? Ultimate Weapon: Gunpowder Star!"
Usopp had many questions in his mind, but he still fired the bullet directly at the window.
Bang!
The Gunpowder Star blew up all the windows; it's unclear whether it hit any enemies.
"Do we still have a chance to escape...? He heard everything we said."
Nami wrapped herself in a bath towel, her face full of worry.
"Hey, Nami, what are you talking about? I still don't understand."
Usopp scratched his head and asked.
"He's always been here, that invisible man."
Onboard the Thousand Sunny, Luffy and his crew are still waiting.
"Just waiting like this isn't a solution!"
"It seems this ship has no chance of escaping this giant spider web!"
"The skeleton's ghost ship is also..."
Zoro looked at Brook's path.
" Usopp, Nami, and Chopper are stuck in spider webs on the Mini Merry too!"
Shiraishi pointed to the Mini Merry.
"This location must have been calculated; the island's entrance is right there, and you can even see ghosts waving at us."
Zoro looked at the main gate leading into the island.
" Zoro, what are you babbling about? Come here right now!"
Luffy shouted loudly.
It turns out that the ghosts Zoro saw were Luffy, Shiraishi, Sanji, Robin, Franky, and the others who had already disembarked.
"Since we have nothing to do on the ship anyway, let's go. I'll share some of my lunch with you, hehe!"
Luffy waved his hand and laughed loudly.
Zoro also disembarked.
" Zoro, there's only one path this time, you shouldn't get lost, right?"
Shiraishi smiled and said to Zoro.
"When have I ever been lost!"
Zoro was unhappy to answer.
"Huh? Why are there suddenly steps leading down? This is the entrance, there's no way to go down, right? Oh no, there's something in the ditch!"
Sanji looked at Cerberus and said, " Hell, what are you doing here instead of staying in Hell?"
Robin, with her unique taste and peculiar interest in these eerie creatures, smiled and said, "Ah, how adorable!"
Franky stroked his chin, puzzled, and asked, "Does it want to fight?"
Zoro frowned and said, "He looks pretty arrogant!"
Shiraishi looked at the three-headed dog, stroking his chin, and said, "Wait a minute, there's clearly a fox among them."
Luffy laughed, pressing the net used to catch insects, and said, "Oh, I wonder if it tastes good?"
"Woof!" "Woof!" "Awooo!"
A huge, three-headed dog covered in stitches was drooling as it pawed at the skeleton at its feet, staring intently at the group.
"Let me..."
Seeing Zoro about to finish him off with a single strike, Luffy excitedly stroked his chin and stopped him.
"Wait a minute, let me see if I can tame it."
"Since it's a dog," Luffy said casually, stepping forward Luffy extending his hand, "Good little puppy, come here, give me your paw, shake hands."
"Kacha!" x3
"Little puppy~~ Good boy~~"
With his upper Luffy calmly pried open the dog's gaping maw and pulled the head from its throat. Then:
boom!
A punch was thrown from the side, as fast as lightning, the force instantly piercing through the three heads of the Cerberus, yet without causing any superficial injury.
Luffy's control over power, if not unparalleled, is certainly quite advanced.
Clatter
"Good, it lay down when I told it to."
Shiraishi encouraged him, "You know how to train animals."
"It's incredible that it's still alive after suffering such severe injuries."
Robin looked at Hell with a puzzled expression; normally, it shouldn't still be alive.
Retsu Unohana chimed in, "That's right, there's a force that keeps it between the boundaries of life and death."
Luffy didn't care about any of that, happily mounted Hell, and they continued walking towards the island.
"There are so many fun things to do right from the start, this island is so interesting."
Luffy answered with a smile.
"Doggy, why do you look so listless?"
Robin looked at Hell's dejected appearance with a worried expression.
Shiraishi shrugged and said, "How can I have any energy after getting beaten up?"
Zoro replied, "Don't pity the loser; it hurts their pride."
"After we come out of the ravine, there's a forest."
Franky looked around, a hint of confusion in his expression.
This forest is different from normal forests. Trees with human faces sewn onto their trunks dance with their arms around each other's shoulders, lions with human heads turn their heads, revealing broken ribs beneath bandages, cats with the faces of some unknown animal leap through the air, and long snakes with arms meander and climb...
Sanji ignored all of the above anomalies and shouted, " Nami- san! Hey! Nami- san! Where are you?"
"Um?"
Luffy also discovered something even more interesting.
A tree with a long face and a unicorn were sitting together drinking.
"The old tree and... a unicorn are drinking!"
Ha ha!
Luffy jumped off Hell and grabbed onto the old tree with both hands.
"Gotcha!"
Franky also grabbed the unicorn. "I caught one too! This is really rare!"
"Waaaaah, let me go!"
Luffy laughed excitedly, "Come join us as pirates!"
Are you out of your mind?!
Sanji and Zoro shouted in silence.
Retsu Unohana laughed, "Haha, this is really interesting."
However, Luffy's actions were stopped.
"I told you, stop trying to bring in all that random stuff as friends. We already have weird raccoon dogs, robots, and stuff like that!"
"Hey, I'm not a robot, I'm a cyborg!"
Franky shouted angrily.
"Anyway, you're not human." Sanji rolled his eyes.
"I am a human being!" Franky retorted.
"You're a pervert anyway!"
Sanji retorted.
To his surprise, Franky seemed quite pleased to hear this, saying, "Ah... you know me so well."
Sanji, looking utterly speechless, said, "I wasn't praising you!"
What will happen next? I can't wait!
Luffy grinned, his face full of anticipation.
Robin wondered, "The trees and unicorns we met just now..."
Zoro asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"The strange creatures in this forest all have one thing in common: they are all wrapped in bandages, have stitched wounds, and have numbers on their bodies."
"They are indeed labeled... which means they are under someone's management."
"Yes!"
Luffy's ears twitched, and he asked, "Hey! Did you guys hear something?"
"Negative! Negative! Negative!"
One by one, pessimistic ghosts drifted toward them.
"The ghost has appeared!"
Luffy pointed at the ghosts in the sky, his face full of surprise, "They can dance, and there are more of them now, this is so much fun!"
"Negative~~Negative~~Negative~~"
These ghosts, resembling simple line drawings, flew around while laughing "Ha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la~~" and chanting pessimistic slogans.
It doesn't look scary at all; in fact, it's a little... cute.
Luffy immediately brandished his net, ready to capture the ghosts, while Shiraishi smiled broadly, prepared to watch them stumble.
Brush, brush, brush.
Although Luffy swung his net so many times that it created afterimages, he couldn't touch the simple ghostly figure flying in the air at all, as if the ghost didn't have a physical form. This made Franky push up his sunglasses.
"Since physical attacks are useless, try this!"
Franky took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and spewed out a burst of blazing flames from his mouth.
" Franky Fireball!"
Hoo hoo hoo~~
Although the long, scorching flames illuminated the forest, the ghosts within remained unharmed, as if they existed in another dimension.
As a ghost suddenly passed through Franky, Franky's eyes darkened, even though he always presented himself as a tough guy.
"No, I'm absolutely terrible this week~~~"
"I can't go on living like this anymore~~"
Franky knelt on the ground, dejected.
"Do you really need to be so upset?!"
Sanji furious. All he did was fail to catch the ghost.
"Watch me catch it!" Luffy threw away the net and pounced, letting the ghost pass right through him, and then:
If there is an afterlife, I hope to be a seashell.
Luffy knelt on the ground, dejected.
What are you two up to?!
Sanji is enraged again.
"Negative, negative..." Robin looked at the Negative Hollow thoughtfully and said, "Does it mean that being touched by that ghost will make you very sad?"
"Hmph, what a piece of trash."
Zoro, arms crossed and seemingly unchallenged, scoffed, "It's because you guys don't focus on honing your willpower that you were fooled by the ghost."
The next second, a ghost pierced through his chest.
"I shouldn't have been born, I'm so sorry~~"
Zoro knelt on the ground, dejected, completely devoid of his previous arrogance.
How dare you criticize others?
Sanji was furious again.
"I'm so angry! I'm not keeping these ghosts anymore!"
"They definitely have weaknesses. Watch how I deal with them!"
A few seconds later, Luffy and Franky, having shaken off their negativity, got up and were furious.
I have never encountered such a humiliating event in my entire life.
"Haha, you guys are so funny~~"
Enraged by Sanji's loud mockery, Zoro's forehead veins bulged as he roared, "Shut up!"
If you continue forward, you'll reach a cemetery.
The howling night wind brought a hazy mist, and a faint earthy smell mixed with the stench of decay, as if the land here held corpses of varying ages.
The tombstones scattered all around reflected a chilling light, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Ah, what a spacious cemetery."
Luffy looked around with satisfaction, showing no signs of nervousness, and said, "Great, let's eat our bento here."
"Aren't you disgusted?!"
Sanji was speechless and became worried again, "And our top priority is finding Nami- san!"
Shiraishi added, "And Usopp and Chopper too."
Suddenly, a hand emerged from the soil.
In the dim light of the night, a person covered in bandages and stitched wounds slowly crawled out of the mud.
Faced with this horrifying scene, Luffy blinked, stepped forward, calmly placed one hand on the other's shoulder, and then pressed down.
Pfft,
The monster, which had just emerged from the mud, was forcefully pressed back into the mud by Luffy, leaving everyone behind him in a cold sweat.
Hey, hey, hey, don't people have any pride?
boom!
"Why did you push me back down, you bastard!"
Amidst the flying mud, the humanoid monster suddenly lunged out from underground.
Faced with this horrifying scene, Luffy was stunned. His thought process was quite peculiar, and he said, "A seriously injured old man?"
"This looks like a zombie!"
x3
Boom boom boom.
The entire cemetery was in turmoil; corpses suddenly rose from the soil and beneath the tombstones, densely packed together.
Looking around, there are at least several hundred to several thousand.
"How dare you underestimate us zombies?"
"Unforgivable."
"Brothers, let's go!"
"We are immortal beings!"
One by one, zombies burst out of the soil, their stitched bodies revealing the outlines of muscles, their arms whistling through the air as they swung, adding to their terrifying appearance.
To be honest, it's pretty average.
Judging solely from physical abilities, he might be on par with elite pirates and Marine Headquarters soldiers.
However, they messed with the wrong person.
With a creak, Luffy clenched his Riot Games, Zoro flicked his sword hilt with his thumb, Sanji took a deep drag on his cigarette, and Franky removed his human skin glove.
"Want a fight? Let me show you what we're made of."
"Charge!"
Peng!
The next second, the zombies Howling and swarmed in. They were not only incredibly strong, but also had amazing jumping ability.
The zombies in front charged forward, while the zombies behind suddenly leaped several meters into the air.
In an instant, everyone's vision was filled with zombies, and it seemed as if a dome made of zombies had risen in front of them and in the sky in the blink of an eye.
Outside the gaps in the cover, hordes of zombies swarmed in, layer upon layer, roaring like waves crashing down.
It's obvious they weren't truly mindless corpses; facing the fearless Straw Hat Pirates, they actually knew how to use this human pyramid tactic.
Unfortunately, tactics are of little use in the face of overwhelming power.
" Gum-Gum Gatling!"
The next second, Riot Games, even stronger and more ferocious than the charging zombies, came crashing down like a barrage of cannonballs.
The bodies of the first dozen or so zombies instantly folded backward into a "V" shape, and zombies that were a little further away were immediately knocked away by the zombies flying backward.
The surging attack was like waves crashing against a giant rock, exploding and splashing without any suspense.
Luffy has entered his unstoppable mowing-down mode.
