One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 967 Devil’s Triangle
"Yo ho ho! Yo ho ho! Binx's wine, I offer my freedom, the sea breeze blows gently, the waves shake gently
Sailors on a long voyage, open that bottle of old rum!"

The melodious music was very pleasant to hear, but considering the atmosphere around it, I'm afraid no one would applaud. On the contrary, many people would probably be frightened to the point of incontinence, because this was the legendary Devil's Triangle, where countless ships disappear every year.

And in places like this there have always been legends about the dead, demons, ghosts and the like, with the legend of ghost pirate ships being the most numerous. And the song "Binx's Wine" is a song that almost every pirate can sing, although there are really few people who can sing it so well. However, after being rendered by the surrounding atmosphere, the originally melodious and beautiful song becomes like the howling of ghosts and wolves, scaring the Straw Hat Pirates to tremble with fear.

"What the hell is going on here?!"

Chopper said while hugging Usopp beside him. At this moment, Usopp's legs were shaking with fear. He had been afraid of ghosts and monsters since he was a child.

"No, no, no, I don't know. It might have been the wind."

Usopp was also trembling and couldn't speak clearly.

"Don't be ridiculous! How could it be the sound of the wind?"

Nami was holding her head and trembling, not even daring to open her eyes.

"This is the legendary Devil's Triangle. Legend has it that this place is shrouded in fog all year round. Many ships that entered here disappeared and never appeared again. It is said that some people have seen moving skeletons and ghost ships here."

Kelly, who finally couldn't resist the temptation and got on board, obviously knew more. After all, as a boatman in the Seven Water City, she knew a lot about various things on the sea.

"Aaaaahhh! I don't want to see a ghost ship and skeletons!"

After hearing what Kelly said, Chopper screamed in fear. Being timid to begin with, he wanted to hide back in his room, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't move at all.

"Hahahahaha! Do you have a moving skeleton?"

Compared to the fear of the others, Luffy was completely different. He was very excited and looked like he was ready to catch someone and raise him at any time.

"Who knows? After all, it's not strange for anything to appear in this sea, right? Besides, this song does make people feel like it's not groundless."

Kelly thought for a while and said, after all, there are too many strange and bizarre things in this sea, and no one can say whether those seemingly unreliable things are true or not, so Kelly can't guarantee that these things may be made up by some people to scare people, and can only speak ambiguously.

"Hey, hey, hey, Luffy, you don't really want to run in and take a look, do you? Didn't you notice what Kairi just said? The most important thing is not the skeletons and ghost ships, the most important problem is that the fog will make us lose our direction!"

Zoro looked at Luffy helplessly and said, this guy is always like this, he can't grasp the key points of the matter at all.

"Ahhhh!"

Suddenly, Nami's shout came again, attracting everyone's attention.

"what happened?"

Kuina hurried over and asked. Although Kuina was also very scared, after all, she was a girl, and it was normal for her to be afraid of these things. However, because she was the third combat force on the ship, she had to remain calm enough.

"The pointer, the pointer is messed up!"

Nami quickly showed everyone the permanent pointer on her arm. At this time, the pointer was completely messed up. The pointer kept spinning like a top, sometimes facing east, sometimes west, sometimes south, and sometimes north. Anyway, it had no fixed place.

"Damn it, hey! Luffy! Let's drop anchor! It's not suitable to continue exploring now! We have to wait until the fog clears, something is not right here!" Seeing this situation, Zoro immediately shouted at Luffy.

"Hey!!! Aren't you going to look for the ghost ship and the skeletons?"

Luffy said with a sad face.

"Don't think about that, asshole! Do you want to put everyone's lives above your interests?!"

Zoro said seriously. Normally, Zoro fully supports Luffy in most cases, even if some of Luffy's ideas are unreliable. After all, there must be an authority in a pirate group, and this authority must be the captain. Before the captain speaks, everyone can have all kinds of ideas, but after the captain speaks, everyone must follow the captain's voice. After all, there is no order without rules, right?
But this time is different. The current situation is actually very dangerous and Luffy can no longer do anything wrong. If they are trapped here, Zoro is even ready to jump into the sea and swim out to find a way out. Although his sense of direction is not good and he is not that good at swimming, he can't ask for too much at this time. He can only take a gamble. Maybe his ability to get lost can balance the situation here?
"Okay, how about we eat? I only had breakfast today and I feel so hungry."

Luffy also knew that he couldn't go too far, but perhaps because he couldn't find any fun skeletons, Luffy's stomach, which had long been unable to contain itself, immediately showed up and made a gurgling sound.

"Okay, okay, I'll go cook."

Hearing the sound of Luffy's stomach and his complaints, Kuina smiled, stood up and walked towards the kitchen. As the god in charge of the kitchen of the Straw Hat Pirates, Kuina has absolute authority in cooking. To put it simply, when Kuina cooks, even the noisiest Luffy will remain quiet.

Just when Kuina was about to go to the kitchen to cook, she suddenly froze in place, staring motionlessly in one direction. Zoro looked at Kuina strangely, but then he also realized something was wrong.

"That, that sound, is it getting closer?"

Kuina turned around stiffly and looked at Zoro and said.

"It seems that this is indeed the case."

Zoro swallowed his saliva. He was just about to drop the anchor when this happened. Wasn't it a bit too much? Please don't do this to him!

"Everyone! Look! There's something on the sea!"

At this moment, Luffy's cheerful voice sounded, and everyone immediately looked towards the bow. In the purple-black fog, a huge black shadow was looming. This immediately made everyone's heart rise to their throat, and they stared closely at the figure that was getting closer and closer.

"Yo ho ho! Yo ho ho! Binx's wine, I offer my freedom, the sea breeze blows gently, the waves shake gently
Sailors on a long voyage, open that bottle of old rum!"

As the shadow got closer, the singing became clearer and clearer, and Luffy also started singing along. Hey, you know what, as the shadow got closer, the music became clearer and clearer. After it became clear, Binx's wine no longer sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves, but became beautiful.

"It doesn't seem to be anything strange. It seems to be just an ordinary ship."

Chopper said with a sigh of relief.

"Wait! Something's not right! That ship! It's a little too shabby!"

Kelly, who is a boatman, found something wrong. The boat didn't look like a normal ship. Could it be that it was really...
"Ghost Ship!!!"

The moment they saw the tattered flag and the hull covered with barnacles and seaweed, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates shouted at the same time.
