Mast Mansion, inside the cottage of "Princess Mononoke".

Perona woke up slowly.

She wiped the pink bangs on her forehead with the back of her hand, and there were delicate beads of sweat all over her head.

She felt hot and damp, so she sat up slowly on the princess's bed and gently patted her chest.

"It's okay, it's just a nightmare. I'll just say, how can someone who looks so terrible drag me into the deep sea? Whoa, whoa, whoa—"

Her laughter echoed through the empty house, like a ghost hovering.

However, just when she thought the nightmare was over, her eyes swept over the windowsill and she suddenly noticed a familiar figure.

He, he, he, he, he, he is really here......

It wasn't a nightmare, it was real!

Perona's mouth was so wide open that she could almost stuff a pebble into it, and she couldn't close it for half a day.

She swallowed, trying to calm her breathing, and finally found some courage in the silence.

All that was left on Perona's mind was to escape, and she hoped that her second escape under the nose of David Jones would go well.

She cautiously moved out of bed, trying to escape while David Jones' attention wasn't here.

However, David Jones had noticed her little movement and turned around.

Perona was almost blown away by David Jones' sudden moves.

She subconsciously straightened her hands, pushing out one ghost after another almost in response to stress.

Protect me, protect me!

When everything was done, she nervously rolled over and got out of bed.

Like fish gushing out of a spring, the ghost gurgled towards David Jones.

But before they even reached David Jones, he had already disappeared in place.

Perona didn't look at what was going on behind her at all, she just ran wildly.

Her hand was almost touching the corner of the staircase, and her legs were grabbed by a tentacle and jerked backwards.

With a snap, Perona fell.

She looked back in horror to see one of David Jones' tentacles wrapped around her leg, and more tentacles hovering over her head.

At this moment, she only felt that time seemed to stand still.

Tentacle...... What dragged me into the deep sea was the tentacles!

Nightmares and hallucinations are coming true!

However, David Jones did not pull her into the abyss.

"I wish you could be more sensible."

David Jones looked at the ghost flying around the ceiling, like Perona's chaotic state of mind at the moment.

"Quiet them down. Otherwise......"

Bang!

One of his tentacles plunged into the ground like a spear, piercing straight through before retracting.

The threat is self-evident.

Then, Davy Jones's tentacles swayed, almost touching Perona's face.

Perona was really frightened this time, and tears fell like bursting banks.

She wept in fear as she retracted the negative ghost.

She didn't dare bet that the ghost passed through David Jones faster, or that David Jones' tentacles penetrated her body faster.

"Tell me, what's going on with that giant out there?"

Perona was crying.

David Jones had no choice but to straighten his tentacle again, and it pierced the wall with a click.

It worked wonders, and Perona shook herself and forcibly stopped crying, but she choked and choked.

"Say, shake out everything you know."

"I ......"

Perona was teary-eyed, but after all, she couldn't bear the pressure, and told Moria's "Shadow Fruit Ability" and the origin of "Majin Oz" in one hundred and fifty-ten.

After she finished speaking, she also took the initiative to take out Luo's saber, "Ghost Cry", from under the bed and handed it to David Jones.

——

Chloe has to take care of two wounded people and face the attack of "Princess Mononoke" Perona, which is not easy.

Thankfully, with the appearance of Captain David Jones, the threat of "Princess Mononoke" has disappeared.

Now it's the girl herself who is in big trouble.

Captain David Jones was accompanied by Crocodahl, Yarrita, and Hachi.

Mikita and Porki stay aboard the Terror Ghost to guard the ship.

Of course, it's unlikely that the average enemy, such as the zombies on the Terror Three-Mag, will be able to break through the horror Wraith's defensive firepower, and the two of them will guard the ship in case of accidents.

Crocodall took a lit cigar in his mouth, his eyes narrowed, he looked at the Mast Mansion, and laughed, "The place where Moria lives is quite in line with his gloomy temperament. ”

Not long ago, they were both "Seven Martial Seas under the King", and they had similar experiences, they all fell into the sand in the "New World", and the targets of defeat were also the "Four Emperors".

It stands to reason that they should be sympathetic.

But the truth is that the two of them almost never interacted with each other before.

Because they can all see the shadow of their own failures in each other, just like looking in a mirror.

Even after more than 20 years, it is still a painful memory.

After tonight, though, maybe quite a few things will be different.

As the first "Seven Martial Seas" to fall, no matter how unfavorable the situation was for him at the beginning, no matter how many achievements he had made in the past, he would suffer contempt and contempt from all sides after his defeat.

"His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas", "Sand Crocodile", "The Man Who Challenged 'Whitebeard'", that's it?

Lost to a "Deep Sea Hades" who had no prestige before, but rose within a few months?

When it comes to the truth, people will laugh at Klockdahl.

This is also the reason why Klockdahl has been quite low-key since the "Alabastan Incident".

However, he had a hunch that after tonight, another "Seven Martial Seas" would fall, and he would be defeated by the same person!

In this way, although public opinion will not turn the wind, it will at least doubt whether it underestimated David Jones before, and thus underestimated Crocodall.

Moreover, there are two "Seven Martial Seas" who have been defeated, and when they say it, they are no longer so conspicuous.

Thinking of this, Klockdahl couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Arrita was taking care of Bucky and Rowe, who were unconscious due to their injuries, when they heard Klockdahl's laughter and couldn't help but look at him in shock.

This crocodile, crazy?

What's so funny?

Could it be that the captain put too much pressure on him?

In fact, Yarrita's guess is pretty close.

But Chloe didn't pay attention to the laughter of the "Sand Crocodile", but took out the "Autumn Water" from his handbag and threw it to Hachi.

Hachi caught it in a hurry, just glanced at it, his eyes widened, and then he couldn't wait to pull out the long knife.

"New, this color, this hardness, this murderous ......"

Hachi was so surprised that he was incoherent.

"I snatched it from a 'Sword Zombie'." Chloe explained, "It seems to be called 'Autumn Water'. ”

"'Autumn Water'?!" As a swordsman, Hachi had also heard of this sword, "I heard that it was the saber of the 'Frost Moon Ryoma', but a long time ago, his grave was stolen, and the 'Autumn Water' and the corpse were gone. ”

"Now we know where 'Autumn Water' and 'Frost Moon Ryoma' themselves are."

Xiao Hachi grabbed the handle of "Qiushui" with one hand, and rubbed the blade of the black knife with the other five hands.

"New, this is a 'famous knife', undoubtedly ranked among the 'twenty-one workers of the big fast knife'! Chloe...... This...... Such a precious knife, do you really want to give it to me? ”

"Take it, among us, the only ones who use knives are Ling and Luo, but Luo prefers to use knives to trigger his 'operational' ability."

"Thank you!"

Hachi happily tried to pounce, but Chloe reached out and pressed one hand to his chest, preventing him from getting closer, and he could only paddle back and forth with six hands like swimming.

"Let me hug you!"

"No kidding!" Chloe still can't accept the enthusiasm of others, and he refuses to have close contact with Hachi.

It was also at this time that the sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shook.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Everyone collectively fell silent and looked warily to the side of the mast mansion.

A moment later, a crimson giant slowly walked out from the side of the mast mansion, and he walked unhurriedly in front of everyone with heavy steps.

Giant?

After seeing the many stitches on his body, and then contacting the most common product on the island, "zombies", they quickly came to a conclusion.

"Moria actually got such a monster here." Klockdahl scoffed, "It's interesting. ”

Chloe, Arrita, and Hachi didn't think it was interesting, and they all nervously clenched their weapons.

"Hmmm......"

In this tense moment, Luo woke up.
