Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

But he was already hatching his own scheme.

This Partner Day lasts for two days. If Brook agrees now, wouldn't the rest of Partner Day be wasted?

No, no, I have to find a way to get Brook to volunteer to join, and it has to be right at the end of Partner Day!

So, Luffy suppressed the urge to immediately invite him and said to Brook, "Hey, Brook, how about we help you get the shadow back from Moria?"

Brook was taken aback and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, this is too dangerous. Gecko Moria, who stole my shadow, is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He is very powerful! I can't let you get involved."

"Don't worry, although our captain is an idiot, he's still very strong!"

Nami couldn't help but grab Luffy's cheek and say to Brook, "Besides, his original target was Moria."

"He's just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, isn't he? It's like we've never even fought before." Luffy, unconcerned about Nami's hand, grinned and said...

"Don't worry, we've defeated Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We've also clashed with Enel, the god of Skypiea, Rob Lucci of CP9, and Admiral Aokiji. Before we came here, even the legendary pirate Shiki was defeated by me."

Our combined bounty exceeds 1.5 billion Berries!

Hey?

Huh?!

Chapter 257 Mount, Luffy?

1.5 billion?

A golden lion?!

Admiral?

There are so many unfamiliar words.

Brooke's jaw nearly dropped onto the deck, his empty eye sockets seemingly filled with shock.

He never expected that this group of pirates, who looked to be of young age on average, would possess such terrifying strength and achievements!

Can these words be combined together?

He initially even thought the group wasn't pirates, because the atmosphere of drinking tea and chatting there was so pleasant.

"But, I have no way to repay you."

"Helping you retrieve your shadow is just a side job," Luffy patted his chest and smiled. "But since you've said that, how about you grant me one request after you get your shadow back?"

Brook felt a chill creep down his spine as he looked at Luffy's malicious smile.

But after thinking about it, he realized that besides his old bones and his life, he had nothing to repay him with, so he nodded and said:

"If you can truly help me reclaim my shadow, allowing me to stand in the sunlight once more and fulfill my promise to Laboon, I will agree to any condition, as long as it is within my power!"

"make a deal!"

Vivi watched as Luffy and Brook shook hands and couldn't help but criticize the deal. Luffy's scheme was obvious; was Brook really going to cooperate?

Before long, the thick fog in front of the Sunny gradually dissipated, revealing the enormous silhouette of the terrifying three-masted ship.

"Wow, what a huge ship!" Merry couldn't help but exclaim.

It is larger than the Thousand Sunny and the Merry combined.

On the left appeared a large door, its shape resembling a giant mouth with red lips and white teeth. As the Sunny Horizon entered, the door slowly closed, and the seawater stopped rushing in.

"Wow, not bad, this place is full of adventurous spirit." Luffy was a little excited. He could let loose for the next couple of days without worrying about anything unexpected. He loved his crewmates' day so much.

From the ship, one can see a gloomy island across the water, with ruins scattered everywhere and a dark forest deep within, where faint red lights can be seen, as if countless dangers are lurking.

At the edge of the forest, a massive Gothic castle stands majestically, exuding a chilling aura.

This doesn't look like a ship, it looks like an island!

Nami stared in shock at the unresponsive Log Pose on her wrist. "The Log Pose isn't doing anything. Is it a ship?"

"This is definitely a ship,"

Brooke stated definitively, "It was called the Terror Sail, a huge sailing ship that drifted from the Western Sea and later became Moria's territory."

"Everyone, the goal has been decided."

Luffy, already eager to get started, stood at the bow of the ship, rubbing his hands together: "Defeat Moria and take back Brook's shadow! Who wants to come with me first?"

"I want to go! I want to go!"

Little Merry couldn't resist this at all. She was the first to cheer and rush over, skillfully climbing onto Luffy's back and hugging his neck.

There's one more spot!

Luffy glanced at the others.

Usopp and Chopper shook their heads vigorously, hugging each other tightly, indicating that they would rather die than go to the island first.

If they could, they wouldn't even want to get off the ship!

Nami quietly moved closer to Vivi and Robin; she had decided to stay with them!

However, just as she reached out to Vivi, her waist suddenly tightened, as Luffy's outstretched arm firmly wrapped around her.

"Waaaaah, let go of me, Luffy! I didn't want to go!" Nami screamed desperately, kicking her arms and legs, but she couldn't break free at all.

"Hehe, I know you want to go, let's go."

Luffy didn't care about anything else. With Nami hanging on his body and Merry on his back, he pushed off with all his might, his rubber arms contracted, and the three of them shot towards the gloomy and terrifying island like cannonballs.

"Will they be alright?" Vivi asked worriedly.

"Isn't Mr. Luffy here?" Brook asked, puzzled.

Everyone fell silent.

It's because Luffy is there.

Brook was unaware of the ship's ironclad rule: when there was no danger, the captain was the most dangerous; otherwise, why wouldn't Nami want to go?

......

Just as they landed, a thick fog swept by, and the ground beneath their feet suddenly gave way, causing the three of them to cry out as they fell into a hidden, deep pit.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Luffy, you idiot!"

Nami rubbed her sore bottom and complained, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly froze, pointing in horror at the huge black shadow slowly emerging from the mist ahead, "What is that?!"

From the mist emerged a gigantic canine creature with three heads. Its six scarlet eyes stood out starkly in the dim light, and a deep growl emanated from each of its three throats simultaneously.

Where it emerged, there was a large pile of stark white bones, some human, some of various animals.

It looks like a wolf, but it also looks like a dog.

Is it a wolf or a dog?

It's a dog!

Instead of being afraid, Merry shouted excitedly.

"What kind of dog is this?! This is clearly a monster!"

Nami was terrified and tried to hide behind Luffy, but in her panic, she ended up getting tangled up in his arms.

Luffy was already used to this posture, so he lifted Nami's butt and walked over.

Just when Nami thought a battle between humans and dogs was about to unfold, Luffy casually reached out and touched the dog's head in the middle, saying, "It's okay, they are Cerberus."

"Cerberus?" Nami was taken aback.

"Yeah, you could call them hellhounds."

As Luffy explained, his three dog-headed subordinates squinted their eyes comfortably, even rubbing against his hand and making whimpering sounds.

Nami stared speechlessly at the incongruous scene before her.

These aren't hellhounds, they're clearly three oversized pugs!

Wait, how would Luffy know this information?

"Luffy, you're not Chopper, so how can you communicate with animals?!"

Seeing Nami's surprised expression, Luffy grinned confidently but didn't answer.

His animal language ability is LV2, making it super easy for him to communicate with animals!

Merry looked at them curiously. "They're sewn together, aren't they? It looks like there are two dog heads and one fox head."

Cerberus felt wronged; he hadn't wanted the fox head installed himself.

If any other zombie had said that, Cerberus would have already bitten it. But Merry seemed unable to bite; it wagged its tail and put on a fawning expression. Yes, it was the kind of dog that bullied the weak and feared the strong!

Luffy patted Cerberus on the head and gave the order: "Take us to Moria."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Do you want to get off, Nami?" Luffy asked, mounting Cerberus. "The ride feels pretty good."

Nami glanced at Luffy with some suspicion, but looking at the giant dog beneath her, she got goosebumps all over her body.

No, no, compared to riding Cerberus, she'll just ride Luffy!

Chapter 258 One Punch, One Perona

Led by the three-headed dog, they walked along the deep ditch for a short while before encountering the steps leading up.

Next, we passed through a gloomy cemetery filled with tombstones of various shapes.

This place looks eerie and terrifying. Nami asked nervously, "Aren't there zombies here?"

Eh?

"Nami, has your Observation Haki awakened too?"
