Chapter 3: The Ghost Ship

"Allah, it's been calculated······"

Lilith, who was tightly tied to her chair with ropes, still kept her smile and looked as usual, as if she wasn't at all worried about what might happen to her next. But it is this kind of calmness, this kind of chilling calmness, that is what makes Ace the most fearful.

"Although it's inappropriate to do this to a woman, there is no way, who told you that you are not helpless." Ace is very shameless to find a reason for his actions, it is not his style of doing things to hurt people with hidden arrows, but the current situation really does not allow him to make other choices.

After all, the other party is too dangerous!

As for the fact that she saved her own group, to be honest, Ace didn't think it was out of kindness.

So, Ace tied up this woman who had reached the peak of the danger factor in some very professional way, and in order to avoid being affected by the other party's illusion again, Ace even took out some very loving tools, such as plugging the mouth ball, eye patch or something.

······ What's going on with all these things?

“··· Hmm... Hmm... Hmm..."

"I didn't hear anything, I mean I didn't hear anything." Ace covered his ears and screamed loudly, and what was left behind was naturally a group of contemptuous eyes.

"What a ghost man!" Hulk's sense of justice suddenly soared, and he said something deep in his heart, and Brooke and Dodas raised their hands in deep agreement.

"I've stewed you!" Ace said something cold to the heart, and the two immediately cried bitterly and hugged each other.

"Alas······ This is the restlessness of adolescence! Hulk turned his face to the shadows, not wanting to look at them again, he always felt that the future would not be easy, the life of a pirate was really not simple!

Grace quietly looked away, and quite modestly ignored it, and he noticed something more interesting.

"Ghost ship!?"

Hearing Grace's shout, Ace was the first to stick his head out, and what he could see was a pirate ship full of holes, and even the statue on the bow of the ship was the appearance of a skull, and the sail had already been a rag after many years, and the name on it was faintly visible.

"The Flying Dutchman?"

As soon as Brooke heard the name, the bones in his whole body began to tremble, "How is it possible, that ship can't be here······"

"Oh, you know?" Brooke's aberrations made Ace a little intrigued, and he thought he had seen a lot of ghost ships in the Devil's Delta.

"This is a ship that wasn't supposed to be in this world! That's a legend from hundreds of years ago······"

"Legends? What legend? ”

In Ace's view, the so-called legends are nothing more than people's ignorance and exaggeration, telling a story that originally had traces to follow and made up mysteries. In other words, legends are nothing more than falsified facts.

"On a stormy day, the captain of a pirate ship suddenly lost his nerves and threw his men into the stormy sea, killing them all······ Even God can't see it! He angered the gods and doomed him to wander infinitely in the sea while being tortured forever. ”

"This is the famous 'Ship of the Damned'! And the captain's name is none other than Vander Daken! ”

Vander Dyken?

"I see······ Ace looked thoughtfully at Morgan on the side, "What about the ghost ship that has been silent for hundreds of years, it must be very interesting, how about going and seeing?" ”

Morgan hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "Captain, you better spare me, there's nothing in there at all, someone has already been to see our Fish-Man Island, and it's been hundreds of years, and it's already become a lair of sea beasts, and it's ······"

Morgan's words changed, and a little disgust appeared on his face, "The legend of Vander Dyken is not untrue, his children and grandchildren are still on Fish-Man Island, but ······"

Ace and the others were a little puzzled when they heard Morgan's tone, did they dislike this person, or did this person's descendants have any unpleasantness with Morgan?

"Now his descendant is Van der Dekken IX······ Well, after reproducing with the residents of Fish-Man Island, he has now become a Fish-Man Clan, but we don't like him, this person is idle all day long and does not do his job, and he likes to play pranks, and he is a guy who gives the residents of Fish-Man Island a headache. Seeing Morgan's brow furrowing more and more, everyone could almost understand what Vander Dyken IX was like on Fish-Man Island.

An obnoxious life, fond of pranks, and disgusted by the entire inhabitants of Fish-Man Island······ Ace always felt that the story in this was a little strange, and ······ It's still somewhat familiar.

"Forget it."

Ace shook his head, the matter of Fish-Man Island had little to do with him, not to mention that the relationship between the Fish-Man and humans was really bad enough, and he didn't need to wade into this troubled water.

"Let's go, Fish-Man Island is already close at hand!" Ace's jubilant left eye could see clearly, and not far away, a huge island wrapped in a membrane was floating quietly in the sea.

This is Fish-Man Island, the island protected by the strongest man in the world.

The Golden Noah was slowly approaching Fish-Man Island, and Rayleigh had repeatedly told him that if there was any accident during the contact between the two protective films, one of them would explode, and of course there was no need to elaborate on which one it was.

"Hey, outsiders, which pirate are you from?" Just as everyone was carefully observing the whole picture of Fish-Man Island, a team of fishmen riding sea beasts quickly approached them from a distance, and stopped on the path of the Golden Noah, and it was the leading fish-man who asked questions.

"Hammond, it's me, I'm back!" Morgan preempted Ace and said loudly.

"Are you, Brother Morgan?" seemed to recognize Morgan's voice, the other party was very surprised, the reins were gently pulled, and the sea beast under him obediently came to the bow of the boat, and the man jumped off the sea beast in one step, and instantly passed through the protective membrane, and Morgan hugged him warmly.

"Brother Morgan, we miss you to death, and if Brother Jones finds out, he will be very happy." The other party turned his head, glanced at Ace and the others behind Morgan, and asked in a somewhat unkind tone, "Who are these landers?" ”

Landers?

Ace's brows furrowed slightly, it seems that the fish-man in front of him is a racist······

"By the way, I'll introduce you." Morgan was also a little embarrassed, it was normal for Fish-Man Island to be a little hostile to outsiders, but after following Ace for so long, he knew that his companion was not a person who cared about this, so he enthusiastically took the other party's hand and introduced it.

"My companion in Fish-Man Street, Hammond."

"Yo." Hammond raised his head with a look of disdain in his eyes, and Morgan, who had taken his old friend's actions into account, had to laugh a few times.

"When we first met, I was Portcas D. Ace." Morgan was there, and Ace didn't want to make it difficult for him, so he replied politely.

"Fire Fist Ace?" Hammond's eyes widened, and the whole person actually took a few steps back, but the next moment he gritted his teeth and hated Ace, and then looked at Morgan with disappointment, "Brother Morgan, is this what you mean?" ”

"What do I mean?" Morgan froze for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

"Don't tell me you don't know!" Hammond's voice suddenly raised several times, and his hands turned into a black shadow and grabbed Morgan's shoulder, "Big Brother Dragon is dead!" Did you know that Big Dragon is dead? The person who killed him was none other than the Fire Fist Ace in front of us! ”

Morgan stayed in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and then looked at Ace in a daze, his expression was shocked and sad.
