Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"Maybe there's some treasure hidden inside!"

"Yes, yes, it might be gold and silver treasures, or even a peerless martial arts manual!"

Chopper was also jumping around excitedly nearby.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, they hurriedly hauled the wooden barrel onto the boat.

Fanny didn't want to spoil their fun. If he was right, they should be getting close to the territory of "Moonlight Moria," whose Dao Heart had been shattered.

Provoked by this guy, the Straw Hat crew should all be able to awaken their Seventh Sense.

Well, the current Seven Warlords of the Sea can't even muster a single Dao Heart.

The big bear has been modified to be even more monstrous than Franky. If it weren't for Fanny using his cosmos to help stabilize his soul, he would have almost lost his consciousness.

Empress Hancock has childhood trauma.

Crocodile was beaten up by Whitebeard, then by Luffy, and now he's in jail.

Doflamingo is mentally ill; he had his brain slammed in a door when he was a child.

Jinbe is a nice guy, but he's also incredibly stubborn.

That is, the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye...

Yes, Hawkeye chipped his own blade and conveniently relinquished the title of the greatest swordsman.

……

The wooden bucket was damp and had a faint smell of seawater.

Luffy couldn't wait to grab an axe and chop open the barrel.

"Wait, Luffy!"

Nami quickly stopped him.

"It's better to be careful, just in case there's any danger inside."

"What are you afraid of!"

Luffy waved his hand dismissively.

"Even if there's danger, I can take it out with one punch!"

With that, Luffy swung his axe down with all his might.

With a "crack," a hole was split in the wooden barrel.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding red light emerged from the barrel, instantly illuminating the entire deck.

"what is this?"

Everyone was startled by the sudden light and took a few steps back.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Nami suddenly frowned.

With her keen sense of weather, she noticed a strange air pressure coming from the sea.

"Oh no! This could be the calm before a storm!"

Nami called out anxiously.

"Everyone get ready, a storm is coming!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately tensed up and began to secure the items on the ship according to Nami's instructions.

Fold up the sails and prepare for the coming storm.

Under Nami's precise command, the Thousand Sunny successfully avoided the storm.

However, everything went dark.

It turned out that they had inexplicably entered the eerie sea area where everything was said to mysteriously disappear.

The Bermuda Triangle!

No, wrong channel, it should be "Devil's Triangle".

Actually, the Bermuda Triangle isn't that scary.

Simply because the ocean currents are complex, strong, and swift, even if distressed planes and ships do not sink to the bottom of the ocean, they will be swept away by the powerful currents and disappear without a trace.

At that time, the technology was backward, and the area was located on an important shipping route with a large number of passing ships. It was simply a matter of quantity leading to quality.

But I digress. Let's get back to the main point.

Upon entering this sea area, the atmosphere became exceptionally eerie, and the once clear sky instantly turned gloomy.

A thick fog blanketed the sea, obscuring the path ahead.

Suddenly, Usopp pointed ahead in terror and shouted.

"Look! What's that? A ghost ship!"

Following his pointing finger, everyone looked and indeed saw a huge ghost ship looming in and out of the mist.

The ghost ship was dilapidated, its sails fluttering in the wind, as if it might fall apart at any moment.

There wasn't a single light on the ship; only utter silence.

Wow! A ghost ship! How cool!

Luffy shouted excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Let's go up and take a look!"

"Luffy, are you crazy? That's a ghost ship!"

Usopp turned pale with fright and quickly grabbed Luffy's arm.

"There might be some danger inside!"

"What are you afraid of! We're Saint Seiya warriors!"

Luffy broke free from Usopp's grasp.

"I'm not scared at all! Maybe... there's something fun inside!"

Usopp stubbornly insisted.

Just then, they heard a melodious ship song coming from the ghost ship.

The song echoed across the silent sea, sounding exceptionally ethereal.

Everyone was captivated by the beautiful singing and turned to look in the direction of the ghost ship.

A figure stood at the bow of the ship, singing loudly towards the sea.

The figure looked like a skeleton with an afro, appearing particularly eerie in the fog.

"That's... a skeleton?"

Zoro's eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

"And she can sing too!"

Luffy became even more excited.

"Holy crap? Handsome guy?"

Fanny's eyes widened as he stared at the afro in front of him.

"I've made up my mind. I want him to join our Straw Hat Pirates!"

Ignoring everyone's objections, Luffy jumped onto the small boat and rowed towards the ghost ship.

The others had no choice but to follow him onto the ghost ship.

As they approached the ghost ship, they discovered that the skeleton was indeed a talking and moving skeleton.

The skeletons didn't seem surprised to see them; instead, they greeted them in a friendly manner.

"Welcome to my ghost ship, everyone!"

"Hello there! Handsome Skeleton Man!"

Luffy said with a smile.

"What's your name? Would you like to join our Straw Hat Pirates?"

The skeleton was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you little rascal, you're really funny! My name is Brooke, nice to meet you."

"However, I need to think about joining your pirate crew."

It turns out that Brook had eaten the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) before he died, which is why he had the ability to revive.

Although he was resurrected, he lost his own shadow and could only wander alone on this ghost ship.

Luffy is very interested in Brook and keeps trying to persuade him to join the Straw Hat Pirates.

Brook's appearance caused the long-dormant Cancer Gold Cloth in Fanny's spatial ring to resonate.

Chopper was already outrageous enough, but something even more outrageous was waiting for him here.

With the Cancer Gold Cloth, it seems like the matter of Kuma is settled.

Brook was moved by Luffy's enthusiasm and finally decided to temporarily join them on the Thousand Sunny.

However, not long after Brooke boarded the Thousand Sunny, they encountered the legendary Ghost Island, the "Terror Sail," which was said to roam the seas.

Through Brooke's account, they learned that the wooden barrel they had found earlier was indeed a trap.

Someone deliberately placed it there to lure them into this area of ​​water.

While everyone was still in shock at the discovery, Brooke suddenly headed towards the island.

They rode the waves and disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, Nami, Chopper, and Usopp, who were traveling on the Mini Merry, also mysteriously disappeared.

Then Van Nistelrooy disappeared too.

Okay, Van Nistelrooy's disappearance is a routine occurrence.

The remaining group on the boat noticed signs that there seemed to be people on board, but they couldn't see any of them.
