Chapter 196: The Dragon Slayer Blocking the Way! (2-in-1)
In the thick fog, there is a small island.
It is not accurate to say that it is a small island, and the place where their warship has arrived now is actually next to a sailboat.
It's just that the ship was so big that it could be considered an island.
The terrifying three-masted galleon, from the Western Sea, is the largest surviving pirate ship in the world, the ride of Moonlight Moria.
This is the essence of the "small island" that they landed on at this time.
The warship slowly docked on the shore, and Ji Guoyuan and a group of navies stood on the side of the ship, looking towards the "island". The shape of the so-called ship has long been lost on the terrifying three-masted sailing ship, and the thick earth has submerged the entire ship, and on the island, there are all kinds of plants.
Perhaps because of the lack of sunlight in this place all year round, most of the vegetation on the island has died, leaving only shriveled tree trunks swaying in the wind.
Near the port, there were many graves, along with the dry trees, scattered on the land. In front of those graves, there were many broken, toppled tombstones and crosses.
In the thick fog, dots of green phosphorus fire flutter and flicker in the air, here, like a mass grave in medieval Europe, the silence, horror, make people shudder.
"Shhhhh
"What the hell is this place?"
"Will there be anyone in this place? Lieutenant General, let's go, there can be no pirates in such a place! β
On the deck, a young navy briefly looked at the environment on the shore, the hairs on his body stood on end, and the temperature in the dense fog was a little low, and the young navy wearing short sleeves couldn't help but shiver, and subconsciously rubbed his arms with his hands.
"Let's go?"
"My perception can't be wrong, this island is manned, in the middle of the island."
"Moonlight Moria's information, you should have all seen it, born in the West Sea."
"With a bounty of more than 200 million, Moonlight Moria has defeated many opponents who are also pirates, all the way from the West Sea to the New World."
"This kind of environment should be caused by his Devil Fruit."
"You've all seen the previous juvenile sea kings, using shadows to control zombies is his way of fighting."
"This cemetery, I'm afraid the underground is all his 'subordinates'."
It is normal for a young navy to be afraid in such a strange environment, and Ji Kunichi was not angry about it, but laughed and joked with his subordinates.
Although his joke is really cold enough.
Sure enough, Yuanyi's words didn't make the young navy relax at all, and when he heard that the ground was full of Moonlight Moria's subordinates, the navy's body trembled even more.
"Hey, don't be afraid!"
"We're a navy, how can we be afraid of pirates?"
Seeing that his subordinate was not angry, Cyrus patted the latter on the back and encouraged. However, after being slapped by him, the young navy immediately weakened his legs and sat down on the deck.
"Lieutenant Colonel Cyrus, don't make such jokes."
"I wouldn't be afraid to fight the pirates, but."
"But this is clearly not a pirate!"
The young navy slowly stood up with the support of his companions around him and complained.
After entering the new world after Kokuenichi, the ranks of the crew members on his ship have been greatly improved.
Although they turned a huge bounty into a "bounty" when they cleared the pirates, it is impossible for everyone to be a bounty criminal when they exterminate a pirate group.
The accumulation of small amounts adds up to a lot of achievements of the crew.
Following the lieutenant general of the country, who has the right to appoint officers and below the rank of colonel, after informing the headquarters, Cyrus is now a lieutenant colonel, and the late smile on the ship is also the rank of lieutenant colonel, as for Koshiro who stayed in Dressrosa, he is still only a lieutenant.
As for Mihawk, what credit does the labor prisoner say, although he also helped the navy kill a lot of pirates, but Mihawk is still different from others after all.
However, although Mihawk did not have a military rank, no one on the ship regarded him as a prisoner at all.
Mihawk was free to move, both on a warship and in Dressrosa. And the grassroots sailors also admired Mihawk's strength very much, and had already regarded Mihawk as their own.
Seeing that the surrounding navies were a little frightened, Mihawk closed his eyes slightly, and after the warship stopped, he grabbed the handrail with one hand and jumped lightly towards the shore.
Standing on the shore, Mihawk looked left and right about the environment, turned his head, raised his eyes to the deck, and shouted to everyone: "No problem, all come down!" β
"It's really reliable! Mihawk this guy. β
As soon as Yuan saw Mihawk, who was the first to land on the island, he praised it with a smile, turned his head and was about to let the sailors get off the ship to search the entire island, when he saw the frightened looks on the faces of the navy behind him.
The navy who had just been supported by his companions was weak again, and pointed to the island with a trembling hand, and said tremblingly:
"Stiff. It's a zombie!!! β
A frightened scream sounded on the deck, stimulating the eardrums of Yuanyi and the others, and Yuanyi, who heard his words, quickly turned his head to look at the shore, and saw a ragged corpse crawling out of the grave bags not far away.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
A dry corpse with its front teeth open, smiled "hey, hey, hey" at Mihawk, and then crawled quickly towards Mihawk.
β0.0οΌβ
At this moment, even Cyrus was stunned, such a scene really shocked his three views. The smile standing on the side of the edge tilted his head slightly, not perceiving the so-called zombie, and his brows were furrowed.
This place makes Yixiao feel quite uncomfortable, and the domineering appearance that has always been regarded as an eye has failed to some extent, which is equivalent to making Yixiao really become blind, even though he was also really blind
Several people were stunned for a moment, and hundreds of zombies crawled out of the grave bag one after another, surrounding Mihawk.
"Intruder! Looks like the Navy?! β
"He should be glad to give them to Lord Moria! Hey, hey, hey. β
These zombies, whose shadows were filled with by Moria, even had the ability to speak, unlike the badly rotten Neptune hatchlings that Yuanyi and the others had just encountered.
These dried corpses that had just crawled out of the ground were well preserved, and the smell of decay on their bodies was not strong, but the smell of earth was extremely strong.
It can be seen that these corpses are all "old corpses" buried deep in the ground for an unknown number of years.
The zombies gradually surrounded Mihawk, and in the face of such a terrifying scene, Mihawk's face did not have the slightest panic and fear at all, and slowly grasped the hilt of the black knife night and pulled the long knife out from behind him.
With one hand across his chest, he said softly: "The guy who plays with the dead cannot be forgiven!" β
As he spoke, Mihawk swung his knife sharply, and a slash shot straight out, sweeping towards the zombies. The terrifying slash flew dozens of meters in the blink of an eye, bombarding a hill on the island, and in an instant, the debris flew away, and a loud sound spread throughout the island.
And the zombies who were originally surrounding Mihawk were directly broken in two under such a terrifying slash, and their bodies were unbalanced and fell directly to the ground.
It's just that these fallen corpses have not lost their vitality, and shouts come out of the mouths of those zombies.
"What's going on?! Why did I fall down all of a sudden? β
"Slash! It's that naval slash! β
"Damn, what did you bastard do to us?"
"Quick, report to Moria, Navy. There are strong men of the navy coming! β
The shadow that is stuffed into the body of a zombie has the humanity of the shadow owner. These zombies, in fact, can also be seen as human beings. Since it is a human being, there will be emotions, and even if the carrier of personality is a zombie who has been buried in the ground for I don't know how many years, there will still be fear and anger.
The navy on the deck looked at the zombies lying on the ground screaming frantically at this time, and only felt that the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
This scene is even more terrifying than when these zombies crawled out of the ground just now.
"What the hell is this?!"
A navy muttered puzzled, holding the musket in his hand, and before he could give an order, a more impatient navy directly raised his gun and shot at the head of a zombie on the ground.
βgangοΌβ After a gunshot, the bullet went straight into the zombie's head, and the top of the skull was directly dented, leaving a large hole.
However.
"Bastard! What are you doing?! β
"Kill you! Bastard! β
The head was pierced, but the zombie did not lose its vitality at all, and directly raised its head and yelled at the navy who fired the shot.
βοΌοΌοΌβ When the navy who fired the gun saw this scene, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the gun.
"There really are so many strange things in this world!"
Ji Guoyuan looked at this scene, and there was a smile of interest on his face, and he jumped lightly and jumped off the warship directly.
He walked up to the zombie, slowly pulled out a long knife from his hand, cut off the opponent's head, inserted a knife into his head, and then threw his head into the sea.
At the moment when the zombie's head was submerged in the sea, a black shadow rose directly from the corpse, and between breaths, the black shadow was already rushing out towards the center of the island, so fast that people couldn't react at all.
After the black shadow disappeared, the lower half of the zombie's body, which was still struggling to get up, disappeared in an instant.
"The shadow is indeed Moonlight Moria."
"Everyone, throw these corpses into the sea."
"There's no need to be afraid, it's just a Devil Fruit ability."
"Smile, Mihawk, you two come with me."
"Cyrus, you take the rest of the navy, stay here, protect the warships, and be careful, if you are attacked by the enemy, your first priority is to protect yourself."
"If you encounter someone with Devil Fruit ability, if you can't defeat them, go to the sea and fight them."
Ji Guoyuan said as he walked past the corpses all over the ground and walked towards the center of the island. Yixiao also quickly jumped off the boat after hearing the order, and followed behind Yuan Yi with Mihawk.
"Yes!" Seeing Ji Guoyuan and the others leave, Cyrus immediately beckoned the sailors to disembark, and the group began to throw these incapacitated zombies into the sea.
As the corpses fell into the sea, black shadows flew quickly towards the center of the island.
In the middle of the terrifying three-masted galleon is a castle made of bluestone. The castle covers a very large area, covering thousands of square meters. The castle seems to be a product of antiquity, the blue walls have turned dark green with the precipitation of time, and the walls are crawling with rattan and overgrown with moss.
It looks barren and dilapidated.
In a room in the castle, Moonlight Moriah was leaning comfortably on the sofa, shaking the wine glass in her hand and sipping the wine in her hand.
Suddenly, a series of dark shadows attached directly to the window of the room, blocking the light from the outside world, Moria seemed to feel something, turned his head sideways, and looked at the window. And at this moment, these black shadows also quickly drilled through the cracks in the window and flew towards Moria.
"Huh?!"
Seeing this scene, Moria let out a soft sigh from his mouth, and reached out to grab the black shadow at the moment it flew in, grabbing the black shadow in his hand. And after these black shadows came to Moria's hands, they also turned into humanoid black shadows, struggling in Moria's hands.
"What's wrong?" Moriah was puzzled, opened his mouth, and then directly threw the black shadow into his mouth, and in an instant, countless information poured into Moria's mind.
This is one of the abilities of his Shadow Fruit, which can read all the experiences of these shadows from the recovered shadows.
After a while, Moria stood up from his seat with a "poof", his eyes wide, and he whispered:
"It's Jiguo Yuanyi!"
After a low shout, Moria's face was full of gloom, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You robbed me of the burnt fruit, and you dare to appear in front of me?" β
"Damn the Navy!"
After a roar, Moria's face changed, and instead he showed a slight smile, and he didn't know what he thought of to be happy, one second his face was full of anger, and the next second he spread his arms and laughed.
βgi~xixixi~β
"Vice Admiral of the Admiral, I will make good use of your corpse and make you a powerful warrior!"
βgi~xixixi~β
High-pitched laughter echoed through the room, followed by Moria's muttering, followed by a high-pitched laugh.
The area of the Terror Three-masted galleon was quite large, and it took more than ten minutes for them to come to the central area of this island after they disembarked from the ship.
Along the way, they also saw a lot of strange corpses made into puppets by Moria.
It's just that the strength of these corpses is quite weak, and there is no way to cause harm to Jiguo Yuanyi and them.
After arriving at the center of the sailboat, the castle built of bluestone also appeared in front of Ji Guoyuan and others.
At this time, the gate of the castle was closed, and it was pitch black in the castle, and it was impossible to see what was in the castle at all.
"It's inside, get rid of him quickly, and we'll hurry back."
"It's a little uncomfortable to feel wet."
Due to being in the thick fog, Jikunichi's hair and navy uniform were already wet with the mist.
The feeling of his hair and clothes sticking to his body made Yuan Yi a little uncomfortable, and he didn't like this kind of environment either, if he could, he would prefer to be in the sun.
Looking at the closed castle gate, Mihawk slowly crossed the edge of the road, and was about to "open the door" when he saw the castle gate slowly open.
"Cry~da~c~da~"
At the same time as the door opened, a footstep came into the ears of Ji Guoyuan and the others.
The sound of clogs.
Ji Guoyuan looked intently at the figure who suddenly opened the door and walked out, and said secretly in his heart.
A dried corpse.
A dried corpse with a shadow in it, this dried corpse was dressed in a white samurai suit, with bandages wrapped around its face, clogs on its feet, and a long knife pinned to its waist.
At the same time as the gate of the castle opened, the dry corpse walked out slowly, and came to stand in front of Ji Guoyuan and the others, and his empty eyes looked at Ji Guoyuan and the others as if they had sight.
It is obviously a corpse, but on top of this corpse, it exudes a powerful "qi". Not a breath, but a vindictive.
From the perspective of Jiguoyuan's transparent world, the dried corpse that appeared in front of him at this time was like a bright moon in the night sky, which was impossible to ignore.
"Very strong!" It was rare that the domineering person who smiled was able to catch the existence of this dried corpse, muttered in a low voice, and quickly blocked in front of Yuan Yi.
And Mihawk does the same thing, but . His purpose is different from Yixiao, Yixiao wants to protect Yuanyi, while Mihawk wants to fight against the actually powerful dry corpse in front of him.
He could feel that the other party was a swordsman.
"The dragon swordsman of Wano Country. Ryoma. β
"Moonlight Moria, have you actually been to the country of Wano?!"
Ji Guoyuan recognized the dried corpse in front of him.
This dry corpse is from the country of Wano, the body of the dragon slasher a hundred years ago, the great sword hero Ryoma.
Unexpected. It's here!
The world has obviously changed, but has Moonlight Moriah still been to the country of Wano?
