Chapter 75: After the novelty under the sea, there is boredom

"It's like going to jail."

Bucky's upper body floated into the air, and he muttered quietly as he wiped the ship's mast with a rag as he looked at the deep waters around him.

"If it weren't for a little light from above, I wouldn't be able to see anything. The bottom of the sea is such a ghost place. ”

After the Horror Ghost stabilized in the seawater, the crew except for Hachi turned from panic at the beginning to curiosity later.

Most of them have never experienced such an undersea journey.

Bucky recalls the trip to Fish-Man Island a long time ago when he followed Captain Roger, but he didn't expect that more than twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Hachi has always been very excited, and from time to time he goes to swim in the sea through the dark green light curtain of the hull blocking the sea, and catches a few fat fish for everyone to eat.

However, after a day and night of sailing, the initial novelty finally faded, and the crew felt varying degrees of boredom.

It's dimly lit, there's no fresh air, and there's no way to breathe fresh air, not to mention the few Devil Fruit abilities who hate the sea, none of them can be as comfortable in such an environment as David Jones and Hachi.

Finally, Bucky couldn't take it anymore for the first time.

He flew back to the deck, threw the rag into the bucket, and flew back to Yarrita, who was mopping the floor.

When Yarrita saw Bucky flying towards her, she stopped her movements and looked at him curiously.

Bucky sneakily: "I said, why don't we propose to the captain together and surface to breathe?" ”

"You're going to go yourself."

As soon as Arrita heard that it was the topic, she turned her head away.

She took off her hat, tied her long black hair into a ponytail, and rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slippery fair skin, and concentrated on cleaning.

Bucky asked, puzzled.

"Don't you think it's too depressing and heavy right now?"

Mikita, who was cleaning the glass not far away, also interjected: "I also feel quite uncomfortable." ”

She usually smiles a lot, but now she can't laugh.

"I know, I think so too, but bear with me." Arrita and they are both Devil Fruit abilities, and they are the most empathetic in this environment, but she still sighs and refuses, "Listen. ”

The three Devil Fruit Powers stood in place, and then they heard the sound of an organ coming from the captain's room, with an eerie tone, like skeletal hands crawling out of it and grabbing at the crowd.

"Listen to what?" Bucky asked, confused.

"Don't you hear? The captain is in a good mood right now. ”

As one of the first crew members to board the ship, Jarrita knew a lot about David Jones's tastes and the general mood of his tune.

"The captain should like to be on the bottom of the sea, let's endure it for another day, and talk to the captain tomorrow, it's appropriate."

"You're really good at slapping the captain's ass." Bucky sat down on the deck, his head tilted, his red nose looking like a ripe tomato in the faint light.

Arrita retorted as she dragged the deck with a mop, "So I said, you're going to go by yourself, anyway, I'm going to wait until tomorrow." ”

Bucky shook his head and turned to look at Mikita, "What about you?" Do you want to come with me? ”

"Ahh......h......h

"One by one, I don't have the guts at all." Bucky scrambled to his feet, patted his pants, then turned and flew over to the bucket, scooped up the rag, and wrung out the water vigorously.

Arlita looked at his back, sneered disdainfully, and then continued mopping the floor.

Who has the ability and guts to go to the captain's room at this time, who wouldn't just say with one mouth?

After a while, Hachi climbed the wooden ladder and came up from the bottom of the cabin.

As soon as he showed up, Bucky asked curiously, "Hachi, has Klockdahl woken up?" ”

Because Captain Davy Jones's attitude was to leave Crocodall alive, they bandaged the wounds of the "Seven Martial Seas", and Hachi also sent food just now.

"Not yet." Hachi raised two of his six arms, holding a piece of bread in one hand and an orange in the other, "He didn't eat anything he put down yesterday." ”

"Maybe he's awake, but he's pretending not to be awake, and he's plotting how to kill us." Bucky said in an alarmist tone, "After all, he's a sea thief, and although he lost to our captain once, he still wants to get back on the ground." ”

Xiao Hachi's eyes turned upwards for a while, and then he shook his head: "Won't it?" I remember him just lying on the board, exactly the same as last night. ”

"Then you have to be more careful." Bucky gave a triumphant smile, "He must be pretending to be like that, waiting for you to be lax while delivering food, and then start holding you hostage and then threatening the captain to let him go." ”

He said in a matter-of-fact manner: "But with the character of the captain, he definitely doesn't want to be threatened, maybe he will directly take action and kill you and Klockdahl together!" ”

"Huh?!" Hachi took a few steps back in shock.

"Don't listen to him." Arlita put the mop away, wiped her hands twice on a clean rag, and said, "The captain won't let you die." Have you forgotten? We all owe the captain an account, and he won't let us die so easily until we pay it off. ”

Xiaoba heard this and patted his chest: "That's good, that's good." ”

Bucky frowned and spread his hands, "Is your point actually here?" ”

"Or else?" Arrita clasped her hands to her chest.

Mikita looked at them with a sad face as she looked at them, not at all like a group of people who had been forced to board the Horror Ghost, but she could still laugh at the existing situation with positive optimism, and couldn't help but feel confused.

Could it be that he knew that he couldn't get rid of David Jones, so he gave up?

She thought back to the scene when the Horror Ghost fell from the sky, and looked at it now diving deep into the sea, as if it really couldn't get out of this ship, let alone Davy Jones on board, no matter where it went.

She kind of understood the mood of Yarrita, Bucky, and Hachi.

After Mikita got on the ship, she didn't dare to ask the other crew members if David Jones was the David Jones of the horror legend, but judging from everything she saw, it was really quite close.

Suddenly, Chloe, who was in charge of warning at the bow of the ship, came over.

"Shift change?" Arrita asked curiously.

The next person to stand at the bow of the boat was her, she remembered that the time had not yet come, and she took out her watch to look at it, and it was indeed not time, and she couldn't help frowning.

Chloe shook his head: "There's something ahead, I'll go talk to the captain." ”

He walked straight to the door of the captain's room, and he didn't have as much restraint as Yarrita, Bucky, and knocked on the door.

The sound of the organ inside stopped, and then the voice of David Jones was heard.

"What happened?"

"Captain, I found the remains of a tower-like building, would you like to see it?"

After a while, the door was opened, and David Jones, wearing a three-cornered hat, stepped out, nodded to the crew, and walked to the bow.

He quickly saw through the dark green curtain of light and saw a large blurred outline in front of him.

As he thought to himself, the Terror Ghost deftly shifted its direction in the water, approaching and circumnavigating it.

It looks like a tall tower is sticking diagonally into the seabed.

They could see the tiles of the walls, the square windows huddled together like small rooms, and the mouths of people, wailing and screaming at the bottom of the sea.

However, the tower was too large, and at the speed of the Terror Ghost, it had sailed for almost a quarter of an hour without even making half a circle around it.

Soon, David Jones noticed that near the bottom of the tower, there was a gap that resembled a city gate, and the black hole was open, and there were many fish and shrimp infested there.

"Captain." Chloe duly asked, "This tower is weird, do you want to go in and see it?" ”

"Let's go check it out." David Jones nodded.

Chloe turned around and glanced at the rest of the crew, but no one objected.

The Dreadful Ghost sank to the gates of the tower, barely passing through the breach like a giant whale.

Once inside, the space is darker than the outside.

Disappointingly, it was empty, except for the spiral stone staircase that went up along the wall.

The Terror Ghost approached the wall, gradually floating upwards.

At first it was dark and quiet, until the light of the bright stars shimmered higher and brightened its path.
