"Wha! I, Lord Usopp, have just lured the enemy deeper, but I'm a great warrior at sea, how could I be afraid of you zombies? Looking at the zombie that had fallen to the ground in pain and the other zombies around him who had stopped chasing with fear on their faces, Usopp could finally raise his eyebrows and sigh again, he didn't feel a sense of security since he entered this strange sea, and finally now he knew that he could rely on him to save his life here, touching the salt in his backpack, Usopp once again looked at the zombie soldiers opposite.

So the offense and defense switched, "You bastards, don't run away, eat my Uncle Usopp with a purifying salt bomb!" ”

"Run, this bastard actually used salt against us, if we get punched in the mouth, we're really finished!" After watching a zombie next to him struggle in pain and spit out the shadow in his mouth after being fed a salt accurately, all the zombie soldiers panicked.

"Bastard, if this continues, Mr. Hogubak's plan will not be carried out! It seems that I have to go out, and if this continues, the zombie soldiers will die, and it will be difficult to explain to Lord Absalom at that time! The most capable person on this island is still my Hilton! Looking at the slaughter below, Hilton, who had just arrived here, gritted his teeth and flew down.

"Guys, come to me! This cemetery is dangerous, are you strangers from outside? How did it end up here? Get out of this place with me! Just as Nami and Chopper cheered as they watched the brave Usopp slaughter zombie soldiers, an anxious shout came from behind them.

"Huh? Monsters! Usopp is attacking from behind! Hurry up and attack this side! Looking at Hilton, who had a bat body and a human face, Nami and Chopper, who had been scared all the way, decisively chose to refuse to cooperate.

"No, no, no, I'm not an enemy, I'm here to help you! I'm Hilton, the butler of Dr. Hogubaque, the owner of the castle behind me, and I'm not the monster you say! Seeing that Usopp had slowly aimed at his slingshot, Hilton explained in a cold sweat.

"Wait, Usopp!" Chopper, who suddenly stopped the attack, hurriedly ran to Hilton's side in three steps and two steps, and asked with an expectant face: "Is it the legendary genius surgeon who has saved countless patients with miraculous surgeries and is famous all over the world, but finally suddenly disappeared ten years ago?" ”

"Ah, that's right, Dr. Hogubak did make a name for himself, but now he is conducting a research project related to the well-being of all mankind, so he has hidden his merit and fame, and he has stayed here to devote himself to research!" Hilton, who felt that he had found a breakthrough in his mission, did not hesitate to tout the legendary Hogubak with Chopper.

"Wow, that's my idol, Dr. Hogubak! It's great! To be a doctor is to be so great, and those bastards who become doctors for money, fame, and status are not worthy of being called real doctors! Nami, Usopp, the danger is over, let's visit Mr. Hogubak's castle, and by the way, ask about this island and the whereabouts of the others! I don't know if I want to see my idol or really think about it, Chopper turned his head to look at Nami expectantly, waiting for her decision.

"Nami, I'm running out of salt in my bag! We've got to find a way to get out, and there are hundreds of zombies out there! We can't solve it! Just as Nami hesitated, Usopp quietly leaned over and whispered.

"Well, Mr. Hilton, we'll bother! What a hassle! After thinking about it for a long time, Nami nodded in agreement, even though she instinctively felt the strangeness of the invitation.

"Ah, don't bother, Mr. Hogubak who lives in seclusion hasn't seen a living man for a long time! He will be glad to see you coming! A smiling Hilton stole a glance at the wanted warrant under his wings and replied pointedly, but Nami Usopp and Chopper didn't hear it.

The group walked briskly together, and in a short time they came to the tall castle they had vaguely seen when they first arrived on the island. Steeped Gothic style, surrounded by fog, the slightly dilapidated wooden door with copper nails has long been rusted by the sea breeze, mixed with the surrounding green algae, making it impossible to distinguish. A gust of sea breeze blew, and the wooden door slowly opened by itself, swaying back and forth with the wind, revealing the deep and dark passage inside. Feeling the cool air behind him, the guest trio turned their heads with ugly faces and was about to ask Hilton himself and the others questions, but they turned their heads to find that Hilton, who had been thinking about it behind him just now, had disappeared silently.

"Nami, what are we going to do? I'm afraid the salt in our pockets won't be able to sustain us back the way we came, and the ship isn't safe now, Sanji and Frankie are battling those strange spiders! ”

"But this place looks like a bad place! Maybe we could consider going somewhere else? Just now that Hilton said that he hadn't seen anyone else except us, so it can be seen that Luffy and Planck are not here! Let's go find them first! After thinking about it, Nami, who still didn't want to enter this ghost place, stiffened her face and made another opinion.

"But, Nami, I really want to see Dr. Hogubak, I want to see his lab, his emergency station, and ask him to sign an autograph and take a picture! The doctor is right in front of you, but we're leaving, Nami, I want to see my idol! At this time, Chopper put forward his opinion with tears in his eyes, which was the first time for Chopper, who had never spoken up on this kind of matter.

"Chopper!" Looking at Chopper with a face full of reluctance and grievances, and then looking at the deep and dark corridor, Nami, whose eyes gradually became firm, rubbed Chopper's head and took the lead into the castle.

"Hey, Nami! Actually, I agree with your opinion just now, how did you get in? Nami! ”

"Bastard, you think I'm going to go into a haunted house like this! I'm just moving forward for Chopper's dream! ”

"Nami! Usopp! Thank you! ”

"What to say, fool! We're partners! Shouldn't you fight for your partner's dreams? ”

At this time, in the study on the third floor of the castle, Hilton, who had just disappeared, was respectfully reporting his work to a strange man wearing sunglasses, sharp nose and fangs, wrapped in strange black stockings and purple mink.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Hilton, you've done a great job! The best actor of our horror three-masted sailing ship this year is none other than you! You can keep an eye on the next group of people, and I'll leave the rest! Boom! Boom! Boom! Straw Hats? It's just that the bounty is so high, hahaha! ”

Listening to the weird laughter in his ears, Hilton bowed his head with a humble face and flew out of the window, "Don't worry! Dr. Hogubaque! I, Hilton, have tricked all these pirates! (To be continued.) )
