Chapter 168: The Ship of Terror

Although Sanji prepared a delicious meal for Brooke, all of the Straw Hats except for Luffy, William, and Baozai were wary of Brooke, and did not really treat Brooke as a partner like Luffy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brooke, you've probably heard of the name Francis Paul!" Since Brooke was a pirate fifty years ago, William simply introduced him to Babyshit, maybe they would be more topical.

William felt that both of them lived in the same era, but both people with a second life, and there should be a lot of endless topics to talk about. Although fifty years ago, the Barron Pirates had just entered the Great Voyage, and their reputation was far inferior to that of the Giant Clan's Giant Soldier Pirates (the legend of the pirates a hundred years ago was the Pirates of Dongli and Brocky in the small garden)

However, in the end, Brooke did not mention anything about Rab or the Twin Gorges, so William could not intervene in these matters. After all, there are some things related to his identity as a traverser, which is not easy to explain.

"It turns out that the famous 'Sea Demon King' Francis Admiral is still alive!" Brooke was as excited as if he had met his idol when he heard that Bao Zai was also a legendary pirate with a second life through soul snatching!

When Brooke's Barron Pirates set out from the Twin Gorges, Brooke had heard of the name of the "Sea Devil" Francis Bao before he knew that they had been wiped out in the Devil's Triangle. It's just that because the rudder was destroyed, he will drift in this sea area for fifty years, and this is the same as Baozai.

"Is this guy so famous?" Zoro asked curiously, looking at Bao Zai suspiciously. Although they often heard Bao Tsai talk about how he dominated the seas back then, it was fifty years ago, and he was more than a generation older than the legendary pirates they had heard of, so everyone thought that Bao Tsai was just bragging about his ability.

"But there are so many monsters on our ship!" Usopp said with emotion: a talking furry bear, a pet Rasu and an elephant sword who ate a devil fruit, and now a living skeleton.

Under the conversation and laughter of Luffy and the others, the atmosphere in the cabin has eased a lot, and everyone is not so resistant to Brooke, but Nami, who is curious, suddenly takes out a mirror.

"Why aren't you in the mirror?" scares everyone again when they see that they can't see Brooke in the mirror. If Brooke turned into a skeleton and could still come back to life because of the Yellow Springs Fruit, but how to explain this scene, could it be that Brooke is a vampire?

"This guy doesn't seem to have a shadow!" William said, pointing to Brooke's feet. In the field, except for Luffy, who was nervous, he didn't have any nervousness, and only William, who knew what had happened, was the most calm.

Maybe as a traverser, it's a good thing to know something that other people don't know. Of course, most of this information cannot be relied upon, and even some information is somewhat different from reality.

"Who the hell are you?" This time, Sauron literally put his hand on the saber at his waist. He can allow his captain to mess around, his companions to mess around, but he definitely doesn't allow danger to exist.

"It's hard to put into words!" Brooke, who had been a good swimmer, suddenly became serious, although he had no face and no expression. Brooke recalled, "But it had nothing to do with me becoming a skeleton! I don't have a shadow because my shadow was taken away by a man a few years ago!"

"Taken away?" After listening to this, everyone found that their brain cells today were suddenly a little insufficient. First met Skeleton Brook, who could talk alive, and finally accepted this fact, and then suddenly a man who could take the shadow of others appeared?

"Even living skeletons and talking furry bears, it seems that nothing is impossible, right?" William's words dispelled the doubts of the others, and everyone thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.

Since there are Devil Fruits in this world that can resurrect people, why is there no Devil Fruit that can make people take away the shadows of others! Although Devil Fruits, a secret treasure of the sea, are not common, but in front of them, there are 10 Devil Fruit Abilities and two weapons that have eaten Devil Fruits, and one of the members is still a hairy bear who can only speak.

"I'm glad to meet so many people today!" Although Luffy had been promised to join the Straw Hats before, Brooke had to refuse: "Thank you for the invitation, but I can't join you for the time being!"

"Why?" Luffy, the captain, was reluctant to hear this, but Brooke was his dream companion (an exploding head, a talking skeleton, and a musician).

"As I said earlier, my shadow has been taken away and I cannot survive in the sun. I can only hide in this sea fog and wait for the time to regain my shadow before leaving!"

Because there is no shadow, Brooke is equivalent to a person who is rejected by the sun, and as soon as his body is exposed to the sun, he will immediately disappear. Even if he wanted to continue the adventure with a second life, it would only be after Brooke reclaimed his shadow.

"Where is that nasty bastard, let's go and help you take the shadow back!" In Luffy's eyes, Brooke was already his partner, and naturally he was not allowed to be bullied.

Of course, at this time, except for William, no one else really regarded Brooke as his partner, let alone said that he wanted to help Brooke regain the shadow.

The relationship between them and Brooke was nothing more than a meeting between Pingshui, and they didn't know who the man who could hide in the shadow of others was. They don't give up their lives for the sake of a person they meet, they're pirates and not heroes.

"What's going on?" "The Thousand Miles of Sunshine shook suddenly, and then a translucent object passed through the wall, and the frightened group shouted in surprise, "Ghost・・・・・ ghost!"

"I must be dazzled!" Nami, Usopp, Vivi and the sisters all changed their faces in an instant, and everyone else was just wary of the malice of this unknown object, but Luffy was the only one with a starry gaze in his eyes.

Although the Straw Hats had accepted the existence of Brooke's living skeleton, the ghost that suddenly appeared in the cabin once again peaked their understanding.

"How can there be an island there?" Seeing Brooke suddenly run out of the cabin, the others followed, only to find an island-like object that suddenly appeared nearby at some point.

They could be sure that the Thousand Miles of Sunshine hadn't moved at all during the time Brooke had been on board, and even the large galleon Brooke was still on the side, so how did the island end up here, and why hadn't they found it before?

"We seem to have been eaten by 'mouths'!" Although the sea fog was all around, Luffy could barely see a huge door in the shape of a mouth trapping them inside.

"That's an 'island' wandering the sea, and you're being targeted!" Brooke said, staring at the island ahead.

"Island, but the compass doesn't respond?" Hearing Brooke say it was an island, Nami took a closer look at the compass in her hand and found that there was no response.

"Because this island is a 'ship of terror' that has floated from the West Sea!" said Brooke, standing on the bow of the Thousand Miles of Sunshine, expressing his gratitude, "I'm going to know my long-cherished wish! Goodbye, friends!"

"What a light body!" For Brooke's light body, William and others also had to admire. Maybe it's because Brooke only has a skeleton body left, and the body doesn't weigh much!

"You must not break anchor here!" Brooke reminded the Straw Hats again before leaving. Then he jumped into the sea, and of course all those who were capable were landlubbers. But Brooke didn't really fall into the sea, he just ran fast on the surface.

Because only the skeleton's body is very light, and Brooke himself has a certain strength, as long as he takes his own steps quickly, Brooke can completely do the legendary water floating.

"It's amazing, he's still running!" Compared to his partners' admiration for Brooke, Luffy's eyes lit up with envy.

"What to do, we seem to be stuck!" William had to warn his companions, though it was a bit of a disappointment.

Although William knew that the true face of the "Ship of Terror" was not an island, but a super-giant ship from the Western Sea, it had been hidden in the "Devil's Triangle" for several years. And William also knew that the owner of this ship was "Moonlight" Moria, one of the king's seven martial seas, and the fierce pirate who originally offered a reward of 320 million Bailey.

However, William didn't dare to tell this information, otherwise the name of "His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas" alone would be enough to surprise his friends. Of course, this does not include their nervous captain, in Luffy's eyes, whoever it is, as long as he is unhappy, he feels that it can be solved by force.

After making contact with Brooke, William thinks that Brooke is also a good man, but if he wants Brooke to join the Straw Hats, he must help him reclaim the shadow.

Moreover, the perimeter of the Ship of Terror is surrounded by a wall, so it is not so easy for Luffy and them to leave, after all, how can His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas let the prey targeted by him easily escape!
