Chapter 217: The Devil's Sea
The first half of the Great Voyage, the Devil's Triangle. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is an extremely terrifying sea area, the fog on the sea surface does not disperse all the year round, even the sunlight is difficult to penetrate, if a ship strays here, the final outcome is to get lost in the sea, and then perish, it can be called a ship graveyard.
There is also a legend that there is a terrifying ghost ship cruising back and forth in this devilish sea.
At this time, the rough sea was shrouded in fog, thick dark clouds accumulated in the sky, the visibility of the dark sea was extremely low, and the surrounding area was filled with a gloomy atmosphere of oppression, heaviness, and panic.
The murky sea water is as black as ink in the darkness, and the whirlpool on the sea surface keeps swirling, as if there is a man-eating sea monster hidden under the sea, and a strange song is faintly heard in the thick fog, making the surrounding dark sea even more creepy.
"Yo ho ho ho!"
A huge black shadow loomed in the thick fog, and the shadow was getting closer and closer, and the shadow of a large ship could already be seen.
When the ship broke away a thick fog, it finally showed its true face.
It was a very dilapidated pirate ship, with a tattered hull that looked like a historical artifact, and the whole ship had a decaying and retro atmosphere.
The appearance of such a strange ship in this dark devil's sea area suddenly felt like a hairstand upside down.
What's even weirder is that there is no one on board, no, it should be said that there is another one.
The man was lying on the old boat, with both hands in front of him, and from time to time he could hear the sound of drinking tea, humming a little song in his mouth, and seemed to be in a mood that was not affected by the harsh environment of the Devil's Sea, and seemed to be very comfortable.
Looking at his back, he has a slender figure, a thick black explosive head, a small black top hat, a black evening dress, an umbrella-shaped civilization stick on his arm, a satin bow tie around his neck, and neat and shiny leather shoes on his feet, and the overall appearance is like a humble and polite gentleman.
However, when the gaze shifted to the front, all this perception would be immediately shattered, and the other party turned out to be a humanoid skeleton, without a single muscle in the body, and completely a skeleton of bones.
This scary and gentleman-looking skeleton is Brooke, nicknamed 'Nose Song', a person with the ability of the Yellow Springs Fruit, and one of the crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Born in the Western Seas, Brooke was the captain of a national guard in his youth, and later joined the Rumba Pirates as their fencer and musician, and later became the acting captain of the pirates after Captain Yuki left the pirates with the plague, with a bounty of 33 million Berry at the time.
Later, the Rumba Pirates encountered an enemy attack in the Devil's Triangle, and all the crew, including Brooke, were wiped out. Brooke once ate the Yellow Spring Fruit that can resurrect the dead before his death, and when his soul walked out of the Yellow Spring and was about to return to his body shortly after his death, his soul was lost in the thick fog for a year because of the special geography of the Magic Triangle Sea, and when he found his body, the corpse had turned into a white bone skeleton.
Since then, the resurrected Brooke has been able to live on the ship as a skeleton, burying the skulls of his companions for decades.
"Ahh
Brooke's pale skeletal fingers hooked the cracked old teacup, brought it to his mouth, took a sip of tea, and looked at the dark and silent terrifying sea with a pair of eyeless eyes, and let out a leisurely sigh, "It's another peaceful night!" ”
"yes!"
A flat echo came from behind Brooke, and he was momentarily stunned.
He said this exclamation many times, but he never got a response.
This time, however, he heard someone respond to him.
Brooke turned around and noticed that there was an extra person on the deck behind him.
It was a handsome young man, with a golden coat draped over his shoulders, sitting on the old sofa on the deck, with his legs crossed, his hands casually on his knees, and a pair of black and white eyes with no emotional fluctuations looking at him quietly.
A small furry head poked out of the young man's arms and looked at him curiously.
On closer inspection, it turned out to be a black cat, with a pair of large green eyes flashing with a ghostly light in the dark ghost ship, which looked very infiltrating.
On the small round table in front of the sofa was a black sheathed straight knife with a golden ribbon tied to it.
"Yo ho ho ho ho ho ...... It really scared me, I hadn't met anyone alive in a long time. I really didn't expect to meet a living person on this peaceful night! ”
Brooke sighed repeatedly, but he didn't know that his words matched his skeletal appearance, which could easily be misunderstood.
However, it was clear that the young man was not a normal person, and his unmoved eyes still looked at him calmly.
"It's really rude, I haven't said hello yet!"
Brooke took off his hat and said humbly, "Hello, sir." I'm Brooke with only bones left in the dead! ”
"You're okay too."
The young man smiled and nodded, "Just call me Madara." ”
The people who came were naturally Madara, Mao Xiaoxian, and Yama Dao, who left the Kingdom of Alabastan and came directly to find Brooke, whose purpose was naturally the other party's Huangquan Fruit.
"Mr. Madara, are you also the one who is lost in this devil's sea?"
Brooke's tone was a little curious and a little surprised, he felt that the other party was a little weird, even weirder than his skeleton.
This devil's sea area is inaccessible, and even if someone comes, they are all in boats, but he who has been staring at the sea just now did not see any ships around here, and the neat clothes of the other party did not look like a shipwrecked person, but like a mysterious person who came prepared.
"It's not!"
"Oh?"
"I'm here to find a few people!"
"Who?"
"The one who took your shadow!"
“……”
Brooke's face changed, even though he was already a skeleton, and he couldn't see the change in his face.
About a few years ago, Brooke accidentally entered the territory of Moonlight Moria, one of the Seven Martial Seas of the King's Majesty, and was robbed of his shadow by Moria, and from now on he cannot be exposed to the sun, otherwise he will be burned to ashes by the sun.
After Moria captured Brooke's shadow, she transplanted Brooke's shadow to the modified samurai zombie Ryoma.
Brooke is bent on regaining his shadow, and accidentally discovers the secret that salt can purify zombies, and in order to retrieve his shadow, a large number of zombies are purified, which plunges Moria's territory into a panic, and finally Brooke is defeated by the zombie Ryoma with his own shadow.
"Mr. Madara, your shadow was taken by that person as well?" Brooke asked earnestly.
"Nope!"
"Could it be that the shadow of someone you know has been taken by that person?" Brooke continued.
"Neither!"
"Mr. Madara, please forgive me for being too talkative, since you also know that my shadow was taken away by that person, you must also know the ability of that person, he is a very terrible enemy!"
Brooke sorted out his words, trying to persuade Madara more tactfully not to go to the other party.
"Yes!"
Madara raised his eyebrows slightly, not angry, and smiled: "You underestimated me and looked down on him, but thank you for the reminder!" If things go well, your shadow will come back before the sun rises tomorrow. As he spoke, he looked up at the dark sky shrouded in thick fog, "I can't see the sun here, but I think you know the time." ”
It's no exaggeration to say that Moriah is really inferior to an ant to Madara.
