Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"Huh?? Just because of the algae and the crowds?"

Zoro's eyes widened.

Sanji nodded slightly.

"Well, that's it."

"Whoo~"

Carrot yawned.

This reaction suggests that they are not interested in the answer at all.

After several days of sailing, the Lion's Chew finally arrived at the first small island.

As soon as he disembarked, Luffy ran around like a wild horse.

They started asking the locals for information. Although they didn't hear anything about Chopper, they did hear a story about the Lighthouse Wild Man.

Rumor has it that a long-nosed savage lives at the lighthouse on the other side of the island, and that he comes out to eat people when all is quiet at night.

This piqued Luffy's curiosity.

"Let's go, let's go and meet this long-nosed savage!"

He then rushed over excitedly.

The others had no choice but to follow suit.

When they arrived at the lighthouse, they found that there were no long-nosed savages at all, only a family of lighthouse keepers wearing long-nosed masks.

The family was startled when they saw so many people rushing towards them.

After some conversation, everyone learned that his family worshipped the sea god, so they always covered their faces with long-nosed masks.

When he was a child, the tower keeper was naughty and always ran around. When his father caught him and brought him back, he cried and sobbed.

Later, his son did the same thing; like father, like son.

Because his family rarely had contact with the outside world, the story of the wild man spread over time.

However, the tower guard gave Chopper a message.

It turns out that the ship from the Beast Ear Principality was attacked by a sea monster, and a "demon" tanuki suddenly grew to a huge size and killed the sea monster.

Then, he was taken away by Pluto's warriors who happened to be passing by, and it is said that he was taken to a volcanic island called the First Hell.

"Now that we have a direction, let's set sail!"

Luffy shouted excitedly.

The Gates of Hell weren't far away, and with the lighthouse guiding their way, they soon arrived near the Gates of Hell.

But the closer one gets to the gates of hell, the darker the water becomes.

As the fog thickened, Fanny's face grew increasingly dark.

When we arrived at the destination, the view suddenly opened up before us.

However, Van Nistelrooy's lips were already twitching.

"You all stay here and don't move. I'm going to buy something... to see an acquaintance."

As he spoke, Fanny activated his telekinesis and vanished.

Telling Luffy not to move is no less important than telling Usopp to stop bragging.

Upon hearing this, Luffy felt even more eager.

"Zoro, Sanji, let's go down and take a look."

Seeing that Fanny had really left, the crowd, bursting with curiosity, became restless.

Led by Luffy, the group disembarked.

Then, because their interests differed, they went their separate ways.

……

Minos, the highest-ranking official on the first island of hell, had just finished some official business and was preparing to take a short rest.

As the gatekeeper of Pluto's underworld, he hasn't had a rest for several years.

He rubbed his temples and complained, "When will this ever end?"

Their own supreme god has just started his business in this world, and it will take him at least a hundred or two hundred years to conquer it.

Unfortunately, there are too many gods and demons of all kinds in this world.

Some people possess a power called 'demon'.

Who understands demons better than their own god?

They can't be killed, they can't be killed at all.

We can only stick to the original plan, using legends, secret treasures, and the like to lure people in and kill them.

The guy with the long nose in that prison is pretty good; after observing him for a while, we'll move him with the glory of God.

"who?"

Minos looked up and saw Van Nistelrooy swaggering out.

"What the hell?!"

……

Chapter 178 Minos's Frustration, the Straw Hat Crew Sets Sail Again.

"Don't come over!!!"

Minos's piercing cry seemed to shatter the heavens.

It looked exactly like a frightened little animal, every cell in its body filled with resistance.

He was frantically sending out rejection signals to the increasingly aggressive Van Nistelrooy.

At this moment, Minos felt like a lamb to the slaughter, while Fanny was the wicked wolf.

Look at Fanny's appearance, with a faint, eerie smile on his face, as he slowly approaches Minos.

Each step felt like stepping on Minos's heartbeat, making his little heart pound.

Minos felt as if she had been electrocuted when she thought of her wonderful past with Fanny, and her delicate body trembled uncontrollably.

The images flashed through my mind like a movie, frame by frame, all of them painful memories of being tormented by Fanny.

The taste was indescribably sour and refreshing.

In Minos's mind, the seemingly harmless Fanny, who was wearing a human skin, was actually a demon even more evil than himself.

There's nothing he can't do, only things you can't imagine.

His skills were nothing compared to Van Nistelrooy's; he was just a greenhorn.

This guy looks frail on ordinary days, but once he gets serious, his strength is absolutely astonishing. He's a hidden super boss.

"It's okay, I'll just rub against it, I won't go in."

Van Nistel's slightly teasing voice rang out, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of Minos.

He placed his hands firmly on the table, leaning slightly forward.

It was as if they were announcing to Minos that they had already occupied this territory.

Minos felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Fanny, who was so close to him. It was like a little rabbit was running around inside him. What was Fanny up to?

"No, man."

Minos swallowed hard and tried to appear calm.

"We've already given up on that world, so why are you still haunting us like a ghost?"

"Can't you just leave us alone and let me have a few days of peace and quiet?"

As Minos spoke, he secretly glanced at Fanny and muttered to himself.

Although the aura emanating from Fanny at this moment was pitifully weak, who could guarantee that it wasn't just a disguise?

After all, this guy used to love playing the "pretending to be weak while actually being strong" trick, and he always managed to fool everyone.

Van Nistelrooy is known for getting stronger when facing stronger opponents; his true strength is unknown.

Every time I fought the enemy, I was always defeated at the beginning, like a weakling.

But the next second, he seemed to be injected with adrenaline, and his strength instantly soared.

Every sit-up elevates him to a whole new level, one that no one can match. Who could resist that?

"What are you afraid of? Come closer and listen."

Fanny beckoned with his finger with a mysterious look, as if two old friends who hadn't seen each other for years were sharing some earth-shattering secret.

Seeing Van Nistelrooy's state, Minos was torn between going or not going.

I'm afraid of being ripped off by Fanny if I go, but I'm also afraid of missing something important if I don't go.

After hesitating for a while, Minos cautiously approached.

His expression was like that of someone defusing a bomb that could explode at any moment.

"What you're talking about is no small matter. If the Supreme God finds out, neither of us will be in big trouble."

Minos frowned and said with a serious expression.

He knew perfectly well that if their own god found out what Fanny had said, they would be in deep trouble.

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we don't say anything, who will know?"

Van Nistel waved his hand dismissively.

"Even if I get discovered, I can just talk to your main god or to Sister Pandora."

"With me, Fanny, handling this little thing, do you think I can't manage it?"

Fanny spoke with such ease, as if in his eyes neither the supreme god nor Pandora were anything to fear.

Minos was speechless after hearing Fanny's words.
