Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"I've been infected by the negative spirit."

Perona laughed triumphantly as a group of negative ghosts emitting an eerie glow drifted toward Fanny.

"Boom!"

Just when Perona thought Fanny had been infected, what she saw next stunned her.

The negative ghost, which originally had no physical form, suddenly started crying and inexplicably developed a large bump on its head.

"Looks like it's my turn."

Fanny's lips curled up slightly as he extended a finger and pointed at Perona.

"Accumulated Corpse Qi? Netherworld Wave".

In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to distort, and a powerful dark force enveloped Perona.

When Perona opened her eyes again, she found herself in a strange and terrifying place.

The air around was filled with an eerie atmosphere that made people's hair stand on end.

"This is where?"

Perona asked in alarm, her voice trembling slightly.

"This is the underworld!"

Fanny's voice rang in her ears, like a whisper from hell.

"No, help!"

Perona secretly activated her Devil Fruit power, trying to escape this terrifying place.

But he found that his abilities were completely ineffective.

She screamed in terror, her voice echoing in the eerie space.

"Go ahead and scream, scream until you're hoarse, but no one can save you!"

Fanny's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"What terrible lines, even that pervert Absalom couldn't say them."

Although Perona was scared, she couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"what?"

Fanny was taken aback by Perona's words, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Perona collapsed to the ground, giving up completely, looking like she'd rather die than live.

"Hey girl, wanna date?"

"what?!"

Van Nistelrooy's sudden outburst nearly caused Perona to strain her back.

He was completely stunned, his face filled with shock.

……

Meanwhile, in another corner of the terror tugboat.

While claiming to retrieve Brook's shadow, he was actually after the legendary black sword Shusui, which belonged to the samurai.

Zoro and the samurai Ryuma faced off face to face.

The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, with an air of imminent conflict surrounding them.

In an instant! A duel between swordsmen of equal skill began.

Zoro and Ryuma's swords clashed, each collision producing a deafening sound.

Their attacks all possessed the same destructive power; in the fierce battle, the overflowing sword energy actually shattered the entire building.

The battle thus moved to the rooftop.

"These two guys are both incredibly strong!"

Brooke, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with admiration.

On the rooftop, Zoro and Ryuma, the legendary samurai, continued their fierce battle.

The two were evenly matched, and neither could gain the upper hand.

They didn't even have a chance to use their special moves.

Finally, Zoro pressed the button to release the restriction on the bracelet, wrapping his cosmos and Haki around Wado Ichimonji.

Ryoma also focused his domineering aura on the black sword, Autumn Water.

"One-Sword Style: Instant Star".

"One-Sword Style: Dragon Slayer!"

As the two passed each other, Ryoma knelt down on the ground.

……

Meanwhile, Robin and Chopper were being suppressed by Sanji the dog penguin and Zoro Jigoro, who had lost their memories and now only obeyed Hogback's orders.

What's even more surprising is that the dog penguin Sanji and Jigoro Zoro can even use the power of Cosmo and Haki!

This put Robin and Chopper in a difficult situation.

"Damn it, how did they become so strong!"

Chopper shouted angrily, his actions suppressed, yet he still angrily questioned his idol Hogback's current behavior.

"Dr. Hogback, why did you do this? This isn't you!"

Then Chopper shouted loudly.

Hogback's face showed a complicated expression after hearing Chopper's words.

He sighed deeply and ordered the attack to cease.

Then he recounted what had happened before he arrived at Thriller Bark and met Moonlight Moria.

It turns out that Cindy was a movie star before she passed away. When I was still a doctor, she came to me for treatment because of a foot injury.

She even sewed buttons on Hogback's clothes.

From that moment on, I fell in love with Hogback.

After her performance, Hogback planned to give her roses and express his love for her.

But when I saw that she already had a fiancé, Hogback very gentlemanly gave up.

Later, Cindy tragically fell to her death from the stage due to her fiancé's scheme.

Moria invited Hogback to ally with him on the condition that Cindy be resurrected.

Hogback stole her body, modified it to enhance its combat capabilities, and then, together with Moria, resurrected her.

At this point, Hogback's voice was filled with helplessness and pain, and he burst into tears.

“I used Moria’s power to resurrect her, but she is just a mindless walking corpse.”

"this is not right!"

"A real doctor would never handle a corpse without permission!"

Then Chopper got excited.

Then, the restrictions on the microcosm were lifted.

……

On Luffy's side, his Pegasus Meteor Fist attacked Moria's shadow clone fiercely like a storm.

Moria's shadow clones were easily defeated by Luffy's powerful attack.

However, after the shadow clone disappeared, a colossal creature appeared before Luffy's eyes.

It was actually Oz, a special zombie formed from his shadow.

"Is this the zombie that my shadow turned into?"

Luffy's eyes widened, a look of surprise on his face.

Immediately, Moria gave Luffy his first task, "his zombie," right in front of him.

"Oars, use the bounty poster on your wrist as a clue to find the Straw Hat Pirates and defeat them."

After giving the order, Moria quickly turned and ran away, and Luffy immediately chased after him.

Then, Usopp saw the bounty poster for them stuck to Oars' hand.

Because Oars received orders from his master Moria, he began searching for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Sanji, upon seeing Oars, was quite dismissive of him.

He crossed his arms and said with a disdainful look.

"Hmph, he's just Luffy, what's there to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, Sanji even started to provoke Oars.

What was unexpected was that Oz, despite his enormous size, was surprisingly agile and fast.

He even possesses a cosmos and knows all of Luffy's moves.

And just like that, Sanji was overwhelmed by Oars' Pegasus Meteor Fist.

On the other hand, Luffy, in order to defeat Moria and retrieve everyone's shadows, is still relentlessly pursuing Moria.

When it comes to escaping, Moria is a professional, so professional it's heartbreaking.

They simply vanished without a trace.

This left Luffy helpless for the time being.

Just as Absalom was forcefully kissing Nami, Nami secretly pressed the button to remove the restriction.

Just as Nami was about to make her move, Lola suddenly appeared.
