Esther remembered the last time she had encountered the Death Story, and she used the necklace to open the spiritual portal, and the Clover fled in disarray.

Esther only weighed it in her heart, and she came to a conclusion, and the combat power of the "Future" may be difficult to resist.

The two ships passed by, and both sides fell silent, and Esther and Crane could clearly see the pirates on the side of the ship opposite, quietly clutching their weapons, but not making a sound.

And the people of the "Future" were too nervous to speak.

However, there was no movement on the "Death", and it was not until the two ships were completely staggered and continued in their respective directions that the worries of the people on the "Future" fell slightly.

Even if Klein was indifferent, it was mostly due to Gelman Sparrow's personality, and like everyone else, he had always maintained the highest degree of vigilance, fearing that the huge black galleon would suddenly launch a bombardment.

Frank Lee breathed a long sigh of relief, and just as he was about to say something, the "Death", which was already 100 meters away from the "Future", suddenly turned sideways, turned its sails and turned back.

Suddenly, the shrill laughter enveloped the Future, and the sound of terrifying power was repeated, filling everyone's ears.

Such hoarse and chaotic voices rose and fell, unhindered into everyone's ears, violently affecting them.

The sailors on deck kept tumbling to the ground, covering their ears in pain to avoid the sound, some of the extraordinary ones had grown fish scales, and Frank had a little brown hair on his face, panting hard.

Even Klein was no exception, with granulations wriggling under his skin, but it was still within his tolerance.

Esther landed on the side of the ship, spreading her wings not wide to the sides, and the cold sea breeze seemed to be able to set her up at any moment, and she responded in her own way—

Esther presented a song.

The song begins with a burst of shouting: "Yo ho ho ~ yo ho ho ho!" ”

A faint humming sound emerged, and the laughter suddenly became ethereal as if it had been swept away by an invisible force.

The lark held his head high, and in a slightly bumpy wave, this abrupt and disobedient song continued to echo on the "Future":

"Bring the wine of Intis to you,

The sea breeze generally does as it pleases, riding the wind and breaking the waves,

On the other side of the waves, the hustle and bustle of the sunset,

The song of the birds, drawing circles in the air~"

Crane felt a firework explode in front of his eyes, the light was not dazzling, it gently nourished his spirit, and the signs of his face losing control quickly subsided.

Dots of light flew and fell, drawing one wheel after another in the air, calming the state of the crew on the "Future". The light spreads, mingled with strange humming, and the frantic and malicious laughter from the Death Horn is constantly repelled as if the two voices are fighting each other.

The lark's beak opened and closed, and his voice was melodious:

"Goodbye Harbor, Steam Country,

Let's sing a song, set sail for a song!

The golden waves and silver waves turned into splashes,

We left only because of the vast ocean~"

The lark looked up at the window, just in time for the gaze cast by Gadelia, and the black slit on the face of the "star general" gradually shrank and returned to flesh color.

Gadelia nodded at Esther, and Esther immediately nodded, telling Gadelia to take the means of getting out of here, since she can become a member of the sea general, this lady should also have some kind of unique spell.

The occult symbols on the hull of a ship could not have been carved for the sake of beauty.

"Bring the wine of Intis to you,

We pirates, cleaving the waves,

Pillow on the waves, take the boat as home,

The sail flag is flying high in the wind~"

The humming sound continued to echo, and those who showed signs of losing control gradually returned to their original appearance, while the expressions of the rest of the ordinary people gradually calmed down, and they continued to immerse themselves in the song.

Of course, Crane also noticed this strange scene, and he was already the best state of the "humans" present.

Gadelia's palms pressed against the windowsill, and the same light quickly spread over the entire "Future", and the hull became bright and bright.

A gust of wind whipped around it, and the sails adjusted automatically without control, and the Future, driven by Gardelia, sped up rapidly, almost flying across the sea, quickly shaking off the approaching Death.

Esther's singing continues:

"Under the vast clear sky, the wind blows,

The waves dance and the drums sound,

If you are frightened, you will be finished,

It's not that there is no sunrise tomorrow! ”

In the ensuing shout, the shrill laughter that landed on the boat had faded and faded.

The feeling of being watched suddenly increased, and Crane's gaze looked at the window that he once felt like a mysterious eye watching, the open windows colliding back and forth in the wind, but no one appeared, and nothing moved.

Starlight is inspired, and under the spell of Gardelia, it gathers and condenses into a pontoon bridge suspended in the air, steadily holding up the Future.

In the swift flight of the wind, the shadow of the "Death" became farther and farther away, until it was finally out of sight.

The strange laughter that would cause madness in the heart grew farther and farther away, until it disappeared completely, leaving only the loud and lilting voice of the lark, singing the song with the lyrics changed.

Klein even unconsciously smiled at the corners of his mouth when he saw several crew members get up from the ground.

"Bring the wine of Intis to you,

Day after day, in the twilight of dreams,

The figure waving goodbye, the sun that never saw each other again,

Why are you worried? The moonlight will still be there tomorrow night~"

Esther's voice was no longer as high-pitched as it had been, and her singing gradually softened, and the points of light flew back to her body and melted into her feathers, like a tired bird returning to their perch.

"Bring the wine of Intis to you, and sing a song, the song of the sea......"

The lark slowly retracted its wings, and the pale eyes shimmered with the same gentle light, but the emotions in them kept churning, and finally stagnated in the blank confusion.

Crane didn't get it, but he noticed that the lark was shaking weakly, and immediately dodged forward and caught the bird that fell from the side of the boat.

The lark struggled to raise his head, trying to meet Klein's eyes, and with his incomprehensible stubbornness, he recited the last few lines of the lyrics in a very low voice: "Whoever it is, it will be dry bones...... Never-ending, never-aimless, just laughing and talking......"

Then its head hung limply, curled up in Crane's palm.

Frank, who had already stood up and recovered from the song, happened to see this scene: "Nornes? Nornes it's okay, right!? ”

The lark's eyes were still closed, and he was curling himself tighter with force, clearly enduring the pain.

The bird's faint voice sounded trembling: "It's okay, it's overconsumed." ”

Esther was lying again. Crane thought so, and he could hear it keenly.

Crane took off his top hat, placed the floppy bird in it, and walked back to the cabin with his hat in his arms.

"I can prepare something to eat for it! You'll come to me when it's better, I've got a lot of herb-like crops! Frank couldn't help but shout.

All eyes were on Gelman, especially the topper hat facing upwards.

They all knew it contained a never-before-heard boat song.

The room that had once made Klein feel the sense of prying eyes, the window that had been open before suddenly moved on its own, as if an invisible hand was tugging on it, and it slowly closed inward until it closed completely.

It took several shouts from Frank for the confused man to come to his senses, and she commanded, "Check the condition of the personnel, and let everyone quiet and recuperate until they regain their energy." ”

Then Gardelia retracted as well, slamming the window shut.

——

Crane placed his top hat on the desk, and the lark inside struggled to crawl out, and he pressed it down with one finger.

After laying out the spiritual wall and isolating it from the prying eyes of the outside world, Klein sat down at the table and looked at the poor lark with a frown: "You are very weak now. ”

"I—I'm not weak......"

Klein looked at the little bird whose body was trembling, and felt a headache at her stubbornness: "I can see it, anyone can see it." ”

His tone wasn't very good, which made Esther shrink back to the bottom of her top hat and stop moving, "Hmm. ”

Crane listened to the occasional humming sound coming from Esther's body, and sighed heavily: "In your case, we usually call it 'Our Lady'. ”

The word sounded more like "Divine Mother" in Rune's language, but Esther knew what Klein was referring to and obediently hung her head in response.

"Before you make a move, you should always make sure that you are in a situation and think about whether you can get out safely. Don't always ignore yourself, don't always think about sacrificing yourself first, especially if you don't have full control over your abilities. ”

Klein was a little guilty when he said this, but the scene just now was far from being so critical that he needed Esther's help, and Gardelia's ability to fly was the key to getting rid of the "Death".

Even if Esther didn't say anything, the situation of the crowd would not be irreparable.

The lark looked up, his pale eyes full of confusion: "Actually, I also seem to have been affected by the 'Death Number', but at first I didn't feel it. ”

"Until you start singing to soothe us." Klein's body leaned back in his chair, and he certainly noticed that Esther's anomaly had only appeared after singing most of the song.

"Then I felt something," the lark struggled to prop himself up, but quickly fell limply on his stomach, "I'm not sure, it could be a hallucination, no, it must be a hallucination......"

Klein didn't speak.

From the occult point of view, there is no such thing as a complete "hallucination", and Esther did not use any extraordinary abilities like "thieves" at that time, but only strange powers belonging to "Zoya".

And the "monster" path has some kind of special inspiration that is predictable.

Klein pulled the top hat closer: "What do you see?" ”

The lark looked at him, and behind the blank eyes was a horror full of self-doubt.

Esther's voice was still shaking:

"I look like I'm dead, Crane."

*The lyrics are adapted from my personal very, very favorite One Piece famous track, "Binx's Wine".

Sad songs are sung, life is the way it is.

From the time I chose "Brooke" as my surname for the name "Hamel", I was waiting for this chapter to be written.
