Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

As long as salt is stuffed into their mouths, the zombie's body and the fake soul cannot combine.

That way you can defeat those guys who you couldn't kill no matter what you did before.

Franky and Robin exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

"Really? Brooke! That's fantastic news!"

Franky excitedly patted Brook on the shoulder, almost knocking him apart.

“Of course! Why would I, Brooke, lie to you!” Brooke

Brooke shook his head smugly, his bones cracking.

Just as they were discussing how to deal with the zombies, Robin used her Observation Haki to overhear Gecko Moria's conversation with the three monsters.

It turns out that the number 900 they were talking about was actually a legendary figure from 500 years ago.

Oz, the berserker known as the "Demon".

This Oz was known as the most powerful man in the world and had founded a notorious nation of villains.

They roamed the seas with tyranny, leaving behind countless chilling legends.

His only offspring are being raised in the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors.

……

Meanwhile, Usopp, Chopper, and Nami hid inside Kumashi's body in their search for Luffy.

And so they entered the location of number 900 together.

It was a huge icehouse, so cold that they shivered.

The three of them carefully made their way through the ice storage room when suddenly they witnessed a shocking scene.

Luffy's stolen shadow is being sent into the corpse of Oars the Demon.

The moment Oz the Demon awakened, his powerful aura caused the entire icehouse to tremble.

The three were so frightened by the terrifying scene that they turned pale. They accidentally stepped on Schrödinger's block of wood, making a crisp sound, and were instantly discovered.

"Oh no, we've been spotted! Run!"

Nami shouted, and the three of them turned and ran.

Although the three managed to escape, Nami gained a general understanding of the island's secrets due to the connection between the zombie penguin and Luffy.

It turns out that the zombies on this island all have a secret connection.

But Moonlight Moria's plot seems to be even more terrifying than they imagined.

However, just as Nami was pondering these secrets, Absalom suddenly appeared.

Nami's hands were now handcuffed with sea stone at some point.

Of course, Absalom wasn't actually that smart; he just grabbed the sea stone handcuffs on a whim.

Although Nami struggled, the sea stone handcuffs rendered her unable to resist.

……

At the same time, Brooke also recalled what happened five years ago.

At that time, he had just had his shadow taken away and was running around searching for his zombie.

By chance, he saw a zombie be purified after accidentally eating a salt-grilled fish, and that's when he learned about the zombie's weakness.

However, he encountered a huge setback when he fought against the zombie with his own shadow.

No matter how he attacked, he simply couldn't keep up with the zombies' speed.

Moreover, Brooke was always very concerned about his afro, which made him increasingly sluggish.

"My afro is my pride and joy! I can't let it get damaged in the slightest!"

At this point in the narrative, Brooke sighed helplessly.

"In order to save my afro, I had no choice but to beg the zombies to spare my life."

Surprisingly, although Longma Zombie is dead, he still maintains the persistence that is etched into his bones.

Besides, the original body was Brook, so nothing happened to him.

Usopp and the others rushed to the Thousand Sunny, their hearts filled with anxiety and disregarding everything else.

He stormed into Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro's room and shook the three guys who had returned at some unknown time.

"Wake up! Wake up! Something terrible has happened!"

Luffy, Sanji, and Zoro groggily opened their eyes and looked at them with blank expressions.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Luffy asked listlessly, yawning.

Usopp and the others quickly told them that Nami had been captured by Absalom, as well as the secrets and weaknesses of the zombies.

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately came to their senses.

"What? Nami's been captured! That Absalom, I'll never forgive him!"

Sanji was so angry that his hair stood on end, and his eyes burned with fury.

"And these zombies, watch how I deal with them!"

Luffy clenched his fists, his face filled with anger.

Afterwards, Frankie confessed to Brooke what he had told him about why he had to endure loneliness and find his shadow.

It turns out that all of this was for a promise made fifty years ago, a promise he and his former companions made after a painful decision, and a promise he made to a young whale.

"That whale is called Laboon, and it has been waiting for us to come back to Twin Capes."

Tears welled up in Brooke's eyes.

“I cannot break this promise. I must find my shadow and return to Raab’s side.”

The moment Laboon was mentioned, Luffy and his crew perked up instantly.

Unexpectedly, they and Brooke had a mutual acquaintance!

"It's Laboon! We've seen it before!"

Luffy jumped up excitedly.

"It's still waiting at Twin Capes!"

"In order to keep Brook on the Thousand Sunny and make him our partner, we now have one more shadow to reclaim."

Then Robin said with a smile.

Thus, Luffy's fighting spirit was ignited. He wanted to defeat Gecko Moria directly and take back all the shadows and food in one go.

Sanji, burning with rage, was determined to stop the wedding and bring Nami back.

Brook, on the other hand, wants to fight his zombies without any scruples and reclaim his dignity.

At the very last moment, before dawn, everyone had different thoughts.

They prepared to launch a counterattack and wreak havoc on this terrifying three-masted ship.

……

Chapter 70 Negative Ghosts and Princess Perona, Sanji Goes Berserk!

Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and the others crashed and wrecked aboard Thriller Bark, finally arriving at a strange room.

As soon as you step into the room, a sinister atmosphere hits you, sending chills down your spine.

Usopp was so frightened that snot and tears streamed down his face.

An eerie mist filled the room, and a figure could be vaguely seen floating in the air.

"who is it?"

Zoro gripped his sword tightly, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"Hee hee hee……"

A crisp yet somewhat eerie laugh rang out, and the fog gradually dissipated, revealing a girl dressed in a gorgeous dress standing before them.

It was Perona, the ghost princess who could freely create ghosts, a spirit who ate the Spirit-Spirit Fruit.

"Welcome to my territory, you fools."

Perona's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

"Let me show you what I'm capable of!"

"Negative Specters"

As soon as she finished speaking, Perona waved her hands, and a group of "negative ghosts" emitting an eerie glow flew out of her hands and floated towards the crowd.

Wherever these "negative ghosts" go, the air seems to become heavy and oppressive, causing people's moods to plummet.

Then, it passed right through the three of them without causing any harm.

Sanji was the first to react; his once handsome and confident eyes instantly became dull and lifeless.

"I... How could I be so useless? My existence is even less than that of a mackerel..."

He knelt on both knees, his face full of dejection, muttering to himself, and his body began to tremble slightly.

Zoro was not spared either; his eyes lost their former determination and were replaced by deep despair.

"I... I'm such a loser, I'd rather be trampled to pieces by wild dogs..."

Zoro slowly squatted down, holding his head in his hands, as if he were in endless pain.

Just as Perona was feeling smug, she discovered something that shocked her.

Usopp, who was already pessimistic, was completely unaffected.

Those "negative ghosts" seemed to have encountered something terrible in front of him, and they just knelt down in despair.

"How can it be!"

Perona tried a few times, and as a result, even more ghosts knelt down.
