Chapter 345: Catch them all
Chapter 345 is all in one place
In the mansion of the terrifying three-masted galleon, the strange doctor Hogubak is entertaining Baucia and others in the hall to enjoy food.
Hogubak is worthy of being a genius surgeon, and the continuous dissection and transformation of corpses on the island over the years has also benefited him in improving his skills, and after Hogubak has undergone surgery, the ship's doctor's injuries have been effectively alleviated quickly, but he has not completely escaped the danger period, so he can only live in this strange mansion first.
It is said that this place is weird, not only because of the strange murals and decorations that can be seen everywhere, but also because of the indescribable atmosphere in the mansion, Baucia's bodyguard Clark has always felt that someone is watching his group with malicious eyes, but when he looks around vigilantly, he can't see anyone else, only those weird murals and specimens hanging on the wall.
Hogubak's maid named Sindoli also behaved strangely, not only was she unceremonious to her master, Hogubak, but when she brought food, she didn't even eat a plate, and poured it directly on the table, which is said to be because she hated it to the extreme.
All these unreasonable people and things make Clark always vigilant.
A group of people were eating food that was poured directly on the table, and at this moment, a huge bat suddenly flew in from the window of the mansion, which frightened Baucia into a low cry, but when the bat landed on the table, she saw that it was a dwarf with bat wings.
Ignoring the surprise of everyone at the table, the dwarf leaned into the ear of Hogubak on the main seat and whispered something, Hogubak listened, directly put down the cutlery in his hand, wiped his mouth with a somewhat regretful dining cloth, and said to Bothea and the others: "It seems that this dinner is going to end early, I'm sorry." β
Baucia looked puzzled: "What happened?" Dr. Hogubaque? β
"The rest of your companions have arrived outside the mansion and are about to join you, and I will not be the one who will entertain you next, I hope you have a good time," Hogubak stood up, showed a strange smile, and after explaining, called again, "Absalom!" β
Clark had deliberately sat next to Hogubak, but after Hogubak finished speaking, he was the first to notice that something was wrong, and he suddenly got up from the table, and with so much strength that he brought down the chair under him.
He wanted to pounce on Hogubak, who was trying to leave, but as soon as he made a move, an explosion suddenly broke out around him.
Clark was directly shocked by the explosion, spurting a few mouthfuls of blood, and crashing into the wall behind him, and the two sailors next to him were also swept away by the sudden explosion.
"Clark!" Baucia exclaimed.
Hogubak smacked his mouth and commented, "It's rude." β
The other sailors also noticed that something was wrong and looked at Hogubak, only to be surprised to see that Hogubak had disappeared into thin air, as if he had never been here.
Just when they were at a loss, the door of the mansion was slammed open from the outside, and Kaslana led people, carrying weapons, ready for a big battle, and rushed into the house full of murderous energy, but was stunned to find that only Baucia and others were sitting at the table in the house, and it seemed that they were still eating dinner.
"Baucia, you're still alive!?" Kaslana exclaimed in surprise.
"She's my fiancΓ©e, so of course nothing will happen!" A deep voice rang out in Baucia's ears out of thin air.
Baucia looked back in a panic, an invisible hand grabbed her shoulder, and the next moment, Baucia disappeared into plain sight in front of everyone, just like Hogubak before.
"There's a guy who can make people invisible!" William was immediately alert, staring at the subtle footprints that suddenly appeared on the carpet of the dining table, and said to Ah Jin and Selkirk in a low voice.
"What about the female navy? Lord Absalom? A specimen of a pig's head hanging on the wall asked in a flattering voice.
"She's too fierce to my taste." The invisible man known as Absalom whispered, "You can do it free!" β
His words seemed to be a signal, and the entire hall of the mansion seemed to "come to life" in an instant, and the murals on the wall, animal specimens, and giant bear blankets on the ground all writhed and stood up from the walls and the ground, and pounced on the living people in the hall with teeth and claws.
A young sailor who had followed Kaslana to the mansion stood at the end, closest to the gate, and he saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to retreat and escape, but as soon as he stepped through the gate with one leg, a huge spider web suddenly fell from the sky, directly sealing him along with the gate.
Caslana, Brooke, William and the others were not far from the sailor, and when they heard the movement, they all looked back, and after seeing the cobwebs that suddenly appeared at the gate, William subconsciously looked up at the shadow of the roof above, and the next moment, a group of strange creatures with rat heads and spider bodies fell from the shadows to their heads like rain.
Ah Jin and Selkirk reacted immediately and wanted to dodge, but when they saw William standing in place, they also forcibly stopped.
These monsters between spiders and rats are the size of ordinary human arms, with a long spider silk on their abdomen, falling fast and numerous, and the moment they landed, they began to wrap spider silk around several people with tacit understanding and flexible movements, with a clear division of labor, except for Brooke who rolled forward first and escaped to the range of these spider rats, including William, Selkirk, Akin, as well as Kaslana and another sailor, all of whom were bound by spider silk in the blink of an eye.
William's face was panicked, but his heart was quite calm, not to mention whether these spider webs could resist the tearing of his [overheated] state, he himself was a natural Devil Fruit ability, as long as he wanted, he could use elementalization to escape.
Brooke glanced at William and the others who were struggling in the cobwebs, and someone behind him said to him, "Where are you looking, skeleton?" β
Brooke turned back in surprise, and he realized that in the short time that several of them were attracted by the spider monster at the gate, several zombies had quietly entered the hall of the mansion.
The zombie named Brooke has long shawl hair, wears a shabby turtleneck trench coat, has several obvious bullet holes in his stomach, and even has two scimitars stuck in it, and the unruly zombie is holding a bottle of liquor and pouring it into his mouth, and then the liquor runs down the wound in his stomach, and it is unknown whether he drank the wine into his stomach or not.
Except for the long-haired zombie, several zombies who came in with him were all wearing full body armor and couldn't see clearly, Brooke's eyes jumped over the shoulders of the drunkard zombie in front of him, and looked in the direction of the dining table behind him, and found that these zombies were completely different from the zombies Brooke had seen in the trench before, both in terms of skill and agility.
