Chapter 43: The Devil's Triangle Song
"Well, it's not night yet, why did the weather suddenly become like this......
Saitama dragged the corpse of the sea king and swam for a whole day and night, and until morning he did not see any sign of the island.
The boat was destroyed, but fortunately there was the body of this sea king that could float on the water, and Saitama also had a place to stay in the vast sea.
But there is also a lot of trouble, the corpse of this big guy has attracted a lot of carnivorous sea fish, and the hundred-meter-tall sea monster is only half of it now.
Saitama originally thought that this guy would sink sooner or later, but he didn't expect that he could float on the water all the time after he died, what a magical species.
"What is this place, am I going to get lost again?"
Saitama looked around, as far as the eye could see, the sea fog was vast, and the sky should have been clear, but now it was dark, and the cold sea breeze was blowing, revealing unspeakable weirdness and horror.
"This kind of place, there won't be ghosts, I remember those sailors mentioned that there is a sea area near the Valley of the Gods called the Deep Sea Graveyard Devil's Triangle, wouldn't it be this place."
The more I thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and Saitama felt like she had goosebumps.
"Forget it, I'll see which way I go now."
Saitama took out a compass from his coat pocket, but it turned out that the pointer was spinning randomly in no direction, and it was impossible to distinguish north and south at all.
Saitama looked at the compass that was beating wildly in his hand with a helpless expression, and looked around at the dense fog outside, like the vast sea of ghost domains.
"Like, things are getting worse and worse......" Before Saitama could finish speaking, a long, empty and strange singing voice suddenly leaked through the thick sea fog.
"Yo, ho, ho, ho...... Yo ho ho ho ho ...... Yo ho ho ho ho ...... Yo Ho Ho ......"
"Who's singing?" Saitama looked up and muttered to herself in surprise.
Following the sound, the dark shadow of a giant sailing ship gradually appeared on the sea filled with dense fog not far away.
"Yo, ho, ho, ho...... Yo ho ho ho ho ...... Yo ho ho ho ho ...... Yo Ho Ho ......"
The eerie singing continued, and the huge black shadow of the sailboat slowly sailed out of the thick sea fog.
The mast, with its tattered skeleton pirate flag still hanging from its mast, was already in tatters, and there was no sign of anyone on the deck, a ghost ship that should have sunk into the sea, but now it was still sailing in the vast depths of the sea.
"Ghost ...... Ghost Ship ......"
Seeing the giant ghost ship in front of him, Saitama couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
Ever since he was a child, Saitama had heard rumors about all kinds of ghost ships from old people who had been out to sea.
Legend has it that the ghosts of the sailors who died on the sea, even if they became ghosts, stayed on the ships of their lives, sailed on decayed ships, they would talk to the living people, and if someone answered their voices, they would be dragged onto the ghost ship by the dead, and finally become their companions, accompanying them forever in the endless deep sea area.
Since childhood, even Saitama is a little frightened when he encounters this huge ghost ship now.
It was the first time he had seen a real ghost ship up close......
"What's going on with this song......"
Saitama muttered to himself in a daze, and at this moment, the ghost ship sailed in front of Saitama, and there was an explosion-headed skeleton in a gentleman's dress next to the ship, leaning against the railing of the ship, staring at Saitama with black hole eyes.
"Deliver Binks's wine to you, do you want to taste it together?" The gentleman's skeleton picked up the worn-out teacup in his hand and took a sip.
"Skeletons! The skeleton speaks! Saitama held his bald head in both hands and shouted in horror.
"Yo ho ho ho ho, it's so happy to be able to see living people in such a place! Hello! Do you want to come and sit on the boat? The gentleman skeleton shouted at Saitama.
"I heard the old man say that the ghosts on the ghost ship must not answer when they talk to you, otherwise you will be dragged onto the ghost ship and be their companion for the rest of your life."
Saitama swallowed his saliva, although he was already too powerful, he still felt inexplicably terrifying about things like "ghosts".
"Ah, you're welcome! I've been wandering in this sea for ten years, and finally seeing a living person has moved me to tears. ”
The skeletal gentleman said as he pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped his hollow eyes: "Although bones do not shed tears." ”
Saitama inexplicably felt that this exploding skeleton was very happy, and now that he doesn't have a ship, the compass is broken and can't be used, maybe he can get some useful news from this skeleton's mouth.
"Hey! Skeleton, I'll go up and sit, but can I bring this thing with me? Saitama pointed to the sea kings at his feet.
The skeleton stared at the huge sea king at Saitama's feet for a few seconds, and said with some embarrassment, "Hang it on the stern." ”
"That's a pity."
Saitama scratched his head and jumped lightly onto the deck of the ghost ship as he spoke.
Seeing Saitama on the boat, the skeleton gentleman immediately stabilized his hat, wiped his shoes, and tightened his bow tie, and then hung his crutches on his arm and said excitedly: "Hello! I'm Brooke with only bones left after death, please take care of me! It's a bit rude that I didn't meet your request just now, I've been wandering in this sea for ten years, and I've seen either ghost ships or ghost ships, and I'm terrified! ”
The skeleton said and made a gesture of "please come in" to Saitama and said, "Come on, come on, you're welcome, come into the house and sit down, let's have a good chat." ”
"This skeleton is so enthusiastic that you can't refuse." Saitama said with a salted fish-like expression.
"But are you a human or a ghost?"
"Yo ho ho ho, as you can see, I'm dead now, but I ate the Yellow Spring Fruit before I was alive, so I came back to life, but because my soul was lost for a year, and when I found my body, there were only skeletons left, so ah, it became what it is now." Brooke explained.
"Yellow Spring Fruit? What's that? ”
"Well, it's a type of Devil Fruit, do you know Devil Fruit? It's the kind of fruit that gives you superpowers when you eat it! ”
Saitama looked distressed, but just shook his head and complained, "I've never heard of it, but it sounds like I didn't get home this time." ”
Brooke, who was on the side, was also confused when he heard Saitama's words.
At this time, Brooke noticed that the sea king that was floating on the sea was only half of the body, and the other half was only a skeleton, so it was said that when the sea king was alive, it was at least two hundred meters long, thinking of this, Brooke couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and looked at the bald head standing opposite: "Excuse me, did you kill that sea king?" ”
"Ah, you said that big fish, it smashed my boat, and then I killed it in a fit of rage, I wanted to taste such a big fish, it tasted good or not, but I swam in the sea for a day and a night and did not see the island, but this fish was half eaten by other carnivorous fish." Saitama said with a helpless look.
After Saitama finished speaking, Brooke fell silent again: "Not only did he kill a two-hundred-meter-tall sea king, but he also swam for a day and a night, this bald head in front of him is definitely not a fruit ability, it is so strong with his own strength, it is really terrifying." ”
"Uh, Brooke, can you ask a question?"
"Ahh Excuse me. ”
"Anyway, you've become a skeleton, why do you still have so much hair on your head! Or exploding heads! ”
"Ah, that's right, because I have a lot of hair, and the roots are very strong."
When Saitama heard this, he touched his bare head melancholy, with a helpless face: "Eh, skeletons have hair, but I'm bald at a young age." ”
