Napoleon. Menster didn't dare to let them go, so he drew an area at the gate to talk to them.

The shattered half of his face had now recovered, and his pale and puffy face and perpetually wet hair proved that the cause of his death was drowning.

"I do know the whereabouts of the Immortal, because half a year ago, that terrible thing happened to pass by the south side of our island."

There was some disbelief on the empty face.

"Really, so coincidentally? You're not lying to me, are you? ”

Napoleon. Mengster's face was grim.

"What am I lying to you for, I wish you could find Hades and die on it!"

Sora touched his chin.

"This sentence is quite true, so do you know what is on the Hades?"

"I don't know, I've only been dead for a long time."

Being reminded by him like this, Sora also remembered that this old guy seemed to have only been dead for a year.

It seems that I have missed my birthday myself.

"No, you've only been dead for a year, why did you become the city lord?"

Balaru was also dead for a year, but his role as the lord of the city was more of a dead hilichurl Fatui aid, otherwise it would not be so easy for a new ghost to gain a foothold.

Napoleon. Monster snorted.

"That's the old man's bad luck, the previous city lord was captured, and a new soul crystal was born on the island, which happened to be absorbed by me."

Paimon scratches his head.

"Bad luck? Shouldn't it be luck? ”

Albedo, who was meditating, opened his eyes.

"Something to do with the bugs outside?"

Napoleon. Mengst sighed, although he was killed by the air, but everyone was dead, and those grievances were not so heavy, he told the matter.

"In the real world, there are four emperors on the sea, and on the dead sea here, there are also such strong people, they are called the Ten Dukes."

"Duke? Aristocrat? ”

Napoleon. Monst shook his head.

"I don't know, but they all live in the New World region, our side is only the first half, and the one who commands us is the king of the Underworld Continent, and it can be said that the Underworld Continent and the Ten Dukes are opposites."

"You should know the soul crystal, the undead who have the soul crystal will recover their wisdom and memory, and it is also the key to becoming the city lord, the so-called city lord is the main force against the ten dukes, every ten years, the ships of the underworld continent will go to various islands to take away the ghosts with the soul crystal, and take them to the battlefield with the ten dukes."

"And our last city lord here was taken away by the Hades ship for half a year, and those insects outside are the means of the Ten Dukes.

。 I don't know how they used to hide a cocoon of the mother worm on the body of the Hades, so that the mother worm landed on the beach while the Hades was on the shore

Fell down. ”

"When the Hades drove away, this mother worm began to multiply in large numbers, and every hour she could give birth to hundreds of millions of bugs by devouring the island."

"When we found out, it was too late, the swarm had formed a large size, and half of the ghosts on the island were eaten, and then the trees on the periphery mutated and released a pungent smell to block them."

Speaking, Napoleon. Mengst is gas.

"You say it's not bad luck, it's not a good thing to be a city lord in this world! There are still bugs out there now, and I'm going to go to the battlefield in ten years, and if it weren't for the soul crystal linking to my soul, I'd have smashed that thing a long time ago! ”

Empty aftertaste of Napoleon. Information provided by Munster.

"Interesting.

。 Ten Dukes, the Underworld Continent, opposites, it seems that this necromantic world also hides a lot of secrets, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can come back and explore it. ”

Albedo asked.

"And in which direction did the Immortal go?"

Napoleon. Menster pointed to the west.

"Over there, if it's correct, it should be heading in the direction of the water capital of the real world, anyway, if you really want to find the dead on that ship, just ask along the way."

Paimon whispered in his empty ear.

"Sora, can you believe this old guy's words?"

Fantasy.

"No, according to what you said, since it's once every ten years, why are there several ghost town leaders in Alabastan who are more than a hundred years old?"

Napoleon. Monster snorted.

"Because it is next to the Underworld Continent over there, their responsibility is to defend the city, so naturally no one will pull them to the front-line battlefield."

Albedo was stunned.

"No wonder.

I'll just say why those two old city lords are strong but have a low desire to resist, I'm afraid they can't wait to be replaced. ”

Klee tilted her head.

"Huh? But when their soul crystals are broken, they die? Mom said that people are desperate for their lives! ”

Albedo explained.

"Human nature is complicated, some people spare their lives, some people want to leave, I'm afraid they are tired of it."

Fischl looked out at the woods.

"Ugh.

The princess has a question.

There are bug handles outside, Lord Albedo, can you refine the ship in front of so many bugs? ”

Albedo stood up.

"It's troublesome, give me ten hours, I'll get something to deal with the bugs."

Sora asked.

"Are you going to use those trees?"

"Well, since the smell of the tree can resist the insect swarm, there is naturally a reason for restraining each other, just a simple solution, ten hours, almost can be made."

"What do you need us to do?"

"Well, it will be faster with your help, in that case, help me catch some live insects and come back, and then help me collect some other plants, I want to make a unified plan."

Ke Lai, who was unconscious, woke up, the fear in her eyes had not faded, and there was a lot of guilt.

"I'm sorry.

Sora-sama.

”

Sora said softly.

"It's okay, do you remember anything?"

Ke Lai's eyes were a little more frightened again.

"Bugs.

A lot of bugs.

The master sent me to Sumeru City and left.

。 I don't remember that later.

But.

I seem to remember that many, many people died.

Akademiya, Gilded Regiment.

。 Belch.

”

As she spoke, Ke Lai covered her head again, forcibly recalling her to feel like her head was about to explode.

Empty said.

"Fischl, stay here with Cole, and I'll go out with Albedo."

Paimon was a little worried.

"Just the two of you? Wouldn't it be dangerous? ”

"No, I'll be back in a while, Albedo, I'll leave the collection of that tree to you, I'll figure out the bugs and other plants, let's move faster."

"Well, let's go."

。

。

。

On the gray misty sea, a huge ship like a fortress was on course, and on the bow of the skeleton at the front, a young man in red with a straw hat was lying on it.

"Goo~"

Touching his stomach, he felt inexplicably aggrieved.

"Sanji!

！ Zoro!

Empty!

Where are you?

！ I'm going to starve!

！

！ ”

"Wow!

！ ”

In the distance, a small and medium-sized island erupted into a terrifying storm of flames, and at the same time, there seemed to be a large flaming bird soaring in the sky.

"Huh!? Is it empty?? Feed!

Ship!

Fast! Go that way!

！ ”

The huge ship seemed to understand Luffy's words, and the unmanned rudder began to turn and sail towards the burning island.
