The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

Otherwise, who knows, more random people might get on the ship.

"Hey! Stop right there! Don't pull people around like that!" Zoro chased after him.

Others followed suit.

Once they entered the "Gates of Hell"

Then they saw a whole row of ghosts floating in the hall, staring straight at the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even Emperor Sima was startled!

What the hell?

Upon closer inspection,

Isn't this Perona's Negative Ghost? Why are there so many of them lining up at the door?

In confusion,

The Negative Ghosts charged straight at the Straw Hat Pirates!

"What the hell is this?!" Zoro exclaimed in confusion.

"A ghost!" Usopp exclaimed in terror.

"How interesting! It's a ghost!" Luffy exclaimed happily.

The only thing they have in common is,

Everyone is using every means at their disposal to slay this invading phantom of negativity!

but......

Negative ghosts are immune to physical damage.

Apart from Zoro's Seastone sword slaying a few Negative Ghosts, everyone else's attacks passed through these little guys and were then passed through by the Negative Ghosts.

Then......

▄█〓█●

......

The Straw Hat Pirates knelt in a row, their spirits low and devoid of any motivation.

Luffy: "I'm such a failure, I just want to be a piece of seaweed..."

Franky: "Ouch..."

......

Zoro was shocked to see his companions kneeling all over the ground!

Is this thing really that ferocious?

We absolutely cannot let them touch us!

Zoro turned his head unintentionally and saw a scene that shocked him!

Sima Di shot out ice cream cones from his hands, which actually hit the negative ghosts, causing them to become sluggish and kneel in a row above the Straw Hat Pirates.

It's outrageous!

Zoro then remembered...

Sima Di once developed a similar ability, and the entire Straw Hat Pirates were affected by it.

Exactly—

Ice Cream Assassin's Critical Backstab!

Sima Di noticed the strange look in Zoro's eyes and shrugged.

He just decided to give it a try on a whim, and was even prepared to use Armament Haki to slap these cute little things to death.

The results were surprisingly good.

and......

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully completing the sign-in for the famous scene "The Straw Hat Pirates and the Negative Ghosts kneeling in a row!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Sheep Talisman of the Fire Demon Shendu"!]

----------

"The Sheep Talisman of the Fire Demon Shendu": Originally belonging to the fire demon "Shendu," it is also one of the twelve talismanic powers within Shendu. It possesses the power to cause the wielder's soul to leave their body and carries immense soul power!

----------

[The reward has been deposited into the system space!]

The scene of signing in was quite unexpected.

but......

Sima Di looked at Usopp, who remained calm and composed despite being swarmed by several negative ghosts.

Ah this...

Didn't we just build his confidence?

Why am I still immune to the negative effects of the Negative Ghost...?

[Ding! Congratulations on your check-in for the famous scene "Usopp, who is so insecure he's immune to negativity!", you have received the check-in reward "Lu Chen's Gorgeous Aerial Glide and Kneeling"!]

----------

"Lu Chen's Gorgeous Aerial Gliding Kneel": A sincere apology that immediately admits to a mistake after realizing it will almost certainly earn forgiveness!

900 ——————————

Emperor Sima: "..."

This reward...

Just like Usopp's confidence, it's not only superfluous, it's a direct side effect!

In any case, Emperor Sima will never use this ability in his lifetime.

"What are these? Devil Fruit abilities?" Robin asked curiously.

Vivi then took her hammer and walked over to the Negative Ghost. Her first blow had no effect, but her second blow shattered the Negative Ghost.

“Armament Haki is effective,” Vivi said.

So it seems these negative pessimistic spirits aren't entirely unsolvable.

"Let me go!"

"One-Sword Style"

Zoro flashed from one side to the other, slicing all the negative spirits in half and annihilating them in the void.

The Straw Hat Pirates, who had been affected, were also able to recover.

However, apart from Luffy exclaiming "What a strange experience!", the others didn't seem to be in very good condition.

Um......

After all, the scene just now was comparable to a "blessed" social death scene, so it would be strange if they were in good condition.

By the way...

If a negative ghost is combined with a blessing, will it be negative or positive?

I'll try it later!

Now...

"Don't be so dejected, why aren't you leaving? Do you want me to help you calm down?" Holy light emanated from Sima Di's hand.

Even Franky quickly stood up!

Only Luffy nodded and said, "It is a bit strange. Emperor, take a look at it for me."

Sima Di raised his hand and unleashed a holy light.

"Ah~"

Luffy's exhilarating jump felt like he was resurrected at full strength on the spot.

"Charge! That ghost was so interesting! I'm going to find it!"

Luffy, now imbued with holy light, charged headlong into the depths of the castle.

"Hey! Don't get separated from the main force!" Zoro shouted and hurriedly chased after them.

Sima Di waved for everyone to follow, but Luffy was too fast; he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

and,

It seemed no one noticed that a group of small spiders were hanging from the ceiling, using their silk to bind and carry away one of their companions after another.

It wasn't until Usopp realized something was wrong and looked back that he understood.

Just then, I saw Sanji being tied up and hung up!
