Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 230 With partners backing us up, let's just go for it!

In the heart of Ghost Island stands a magnificent, towering Gothic castle.

Outside the castle, the dense forest was as black as ink, surging in from all directions, stretching as far as the eye could see.

The tree branches twisted and intertwined, like countless withered ghostly hands, silently clawing at the sky.

The castle was shrouded in mist, silent and deep. Occasionally, flocks of bats would flutter out of the mist, skim across the dark sky, and then disappear back into the mist.

There is no light here, only boundless darkness, shrouding the entire world in a cold, deathly gloom.

And this is also where Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the master of Onigashima, lives!

At this moment, on the top floor of this enormous castle, which is also the core area of ​​the entire castle, the space is vast yet feels incredibly oppressive. More than ten torches are scattered throughout, barely illuminating the central area, while the rest of the place is shrouded in darkness.

In the center of the room, a huge chair stood in the middle, and a massive figure sat lazily on it, the firelight flickering on his body.

The man was wearing a black leather jacket, and his neck was unusually thick and long, as if it had been deliberately stretched.

His body was bloated, like a roly-poly toy, and he had sharp horns on his head, like a demon who had walked out of hell.

And he was none other than Gecko Moria, the very person Brook refused to tell Goku and the others about—the one who stripped him of his shadow!

"Hehehe, Perona, has that brat named Son Goku landed on the island yet?" Moria suddenly asked.

His laughter was extremely sinister, making the place even more eerie. If an outsider accidentally wandered in, they would probably scream in fright.

But there was no one else here at the moment, only a cute little girl with pink pigtails, wearing a crop top, and holding a burgundy umbrella.

She was none other than Perona, one of Moria's three top lieutenants.

"They've already come in, and all his companions have come in too, Lord Moria," Perona said cheerfully, licking her lollipop.

The ghost that Wukong and the others saw on the ship earlier was released by her. Wukong and the others thought the ghost had left, but in fact, the ghost was just hiding under her orders, observing their every move from the shadows.

"Hehehe! That's good. I don't care about anyone else, as long as Sun Wukong gets in, I must get him and make his shadow and body combine to become my best warrior!"

Moria stretched out his ghostly hand, his sharp teeth appearing particularly ferocious in his smile.

Ever since he obtained Goku's bounty, he has been eyeing Goku, believing that someone with such a bounty is qualified to combine with the strongest body he controls, thus becoming his most powerful subordinate.

That's why, when Perona's Ghost discovered that the target was actually on the ship they had targeted, he immediately became excited, believing that he would soon have the most powerful warrior in history.

"Hehe, but, Lord Moria, there's something Pepe wants to tell you." Perona licked her lollipop and suddenly smiled slightly.

"What is it?" Moria asked, snapping out of his reverie.

"Absalom was discovered by those people when he was on the ship, no, I should say he was discovered by that Sun Wukong." Perona shrugged.

Although her ghost cannot observe the invisible Absalom, she can deduce some things from Goku and the others' actions.

Not long ago, she observed that Absalom's whereabouts seemed to have been exposed, that Sun Wukong had noticed him, and he even seemed to have been attacked.

"Hmm? Abu has been discovered? What exactly happened?" Moria frowned.

Absalom's invisibility ability is exceptional; he has never failed on this ghost island, so how could he have been discovered?

"Pepe isn't quite sure either. It seems like that Goku figured out Absalom's location by sound," Perona said, shrugging.

Through sound?

Moria was astonished.

To maximize his stealth abilities, Absalom trained his body to be extremely agile, moving almost silently.

It's only possible to capture it in a completely silent environment, but the ship simply doesn't have that kind of condition.

"Is Abu alright?" Moria suddenly felt anxious.

He was undoubtedly a terrible devil to those who were stripped of their shadows by him and treated as prey.

But to his subordinates, he was undoubtedly a competent leader, because he valued them highly and did not allow them to make any mistakes.

"Hmm... he should be fine. Pepe didn't see him show himself, he should be on his way back already," Perona replied.

Moria breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright, it's alright."

Then he chuckled, "Hehehe, it seems this kid really has some skills; his bounty is well-deserved."

Although he had previously considered Wukong as his target, he still had some doubts. Could such a young and inexperienced kid really have the strength to command a bounty of 3.5 million?

Now, although he has not yet met the other party, he can tell from the fact that the other party was able to discover Absalom that the other party is indeed powerful. Even if there is a slight exaggeration, the other party is undoubtedly the most suitable target he has found in all these years!

"Perona, have the doctor implement Plan B. Hehehe, I can't wait to peel this brat's shadow off!"

On the shore of Ghost Island, Wukong, now dressed in dry clothes, looked around. What came into view was a ghostly forest, silent and eerie, where not even the chirping of insects could be heard, let alone the voice of the unseen creature from before.

By now, he could tell that the unseen thing was a living being, possibly human, but it could also be something else; he couldn't be sure.

That guy has been silent for a long time, probably scared away by his attack.

Nami breathed a sigh of relief upon learning of this, because the unseen was truly terrifying. Among all of them, only Goku had the ability to force the other party out, and the fact that the other party was scared away was undoubtedly a good thing. Even if they wanted to make a comeback, they would have to seriously consider Goku's existence.

In other words, as long as Wukong stays with them, they won't be afraid of being attacked by the enemy again.

"Everyone, are you really sure? Do we really want to go in?" Nami asked pitifully before entering the woods, like a helpless little kitten.

If she could, she really wanted to leave immediately. She had already seen ghosts and terrifying, unseen creatures. Who knew what other horrible things she might encounter after entering the island?

"Don't worry, Nami, I'll protect you, hee hee." Goku turned around and said with a grin.

"That's right, Nami-san! With me, your knight, here, you can rest assured!" Sanji said confidently as he approached Nami.

"Wow!" (Me too!) Pupu also raised its hand.

"Sigh, fine." Nami sighed helplessly.

He suddenly changed his demeanor, his eyes gleaming, and declared forcefully, "Since that's the case, let's go in! Let's see who dares to set their sights on us!"

In the end, she wasn't the kind of person who would back down at the sight of something scary. Since her friends had said so, what was she afraid of? She should just go for it!

After making their decision, the four men and one beast marched proudly into the woods.

Meanwhile, Absalom finally stumbled back into the castle.

Moria was startled when his figure appeared before him.

"Abu! What's wrong with you?!"

At this moment, Absalom was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and there were still dark red bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.

But that wasn't what shocked Moria. What horrified him was that Absalom's arms were in a terrible state, with his right arm hanging limply down, making him look like a green caterpillar swaying in the wind as he walked.

The forearm and upper arm of the left arm were twisted at an odd 90-degree angle, clearly indicating that the bones inside were broken.

"Lord Moria, I failed in my duty and that brat found out," Absalom said, his voice trembling. It wasn't the excruciating pain in his body that was causing him to suffer, but rather the lingering fear in his heart.

Not long ago, he experienced his first life-or-death terror after gaining the ability to become invisible.

He had already moved with extreme lightness, making it impossible for anyone to detect that he was about to reach out to two targets, but Wukong did notice and accurately kicked his hands, instantly breaking those hands that possessed wild strength no less than that of a bear or a gorilla.

What if the opponent kicked not the arm, but the body or even the head?

The thought of that scene sent chills down his spine.

Fortunately, his invisibility ability was indeed very powerful. Even if Goku caught his voice, he couldn't determine his body parts, otherwise this outcome might have really happened.

After that, thanks to the noise Sanji and the others made, which masked his voice, he endured the excruciating pain and fled in panic, thus successfully escaping back here.

As he recounted what had happened, Moria's face darkened.

"How dare you harm my people, Sun Wukong! You've got some nerve!"

He was furious. Absalom was one of his most trusted subordinates, yet he had his hands broken by someone kicking him. It was like a slap in the face.

"Abu, go find the doctor first and have him treat your injuries, but don't interfere with the doctor's plans," Moria said in a deep voice.

"Afterwards, I will catch the woman you fancy, and you can do whatever you want with her as compensation for your injury this time."

Instead of blaming his subordinate for acting recklessly because of his lust, he thought about how to appease him, which explains why the subordinate was so devoted to him.

As expected, Absalom was very grateful when he heard this.

He deserved to die for failing in this operation and being unable to continue playing a role.

He nodded solemnly: "Lord Moria, that Sun Wukong is very powerful, you must be careful."

Moria laughed loudly, "Hehehe, don't worry about that, his shadow will definitely be mine, there's no way that's off!"

In the forest, Wukong and his companions were moving forward.

The journey was silent except for the rustling of their footsteps. Although the environment seemed strange and eerie, nothing unusual happened.

There were no ghosts, nor any unseen things attacking them, as if those things had long since disappeared.

"I'm saying, is there some kind of ambush here? Did the guys who've got their eyes on us know we're not to be messed with, so they're planning to ambush us?" Nami's sharp and wary eyes kept scanning the surroundings as she offered her guess.

"I don't know if we're lying in ambush or not, but there's one thing that's on my mind. Brook said the guy who took his shadow is targeting us. Why would he be targeting us? And what's his purpose in doing so?" Robin pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

"Well... I've thought about that too, but I can't figure it out. Oh well, Brook ran off too fast, we didn't even have time to ask him." Nami sighed.

They only know that a hidden enemy is watching them, but they don't know why the enemy is watching them, which puts them at a disadvantage.

If they could know the other party's purpose, they would be much more at ease on this trip.

"Whatever that guy's purpose in targeting us, if he dares to mess with us, he'd better be prepared to face our wrath." Sanji had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his face cold, looking like a mafia boss.

He can show his gentlest side to his companions and women, but he will show his coldest side to enemies who want to harm them (except for women).

"Hehe, Sanji is right. No matter what kind of enemy appears, I will defeat them!" Goku rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

He didn't have a satisfying fight with CP9 last time, so he longs to meet an opponent here who can give him a good fight.

"Wow!" (Me too!) Pupu chimed in.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally emerged from the forest and arrived at an open field.

When they saw the scene in front of them, both Nami and Sanji's pupils shrank.

Not far ahead lay a cemetery, with countless tombstones scattered everywhere, like evil spirits peeking out halfway, silently observing the visitors.

Most of these tombstones appear dilapidated and broken, and the wind blows through them, carrying a mournful sound, like the howling of evil spirits, making the place even more eerie and terrifying.

"Wow, so many tombstones!" Nami exclaimed.

She had seen cemeteries before, but this was the first time she had ever seen one with so many tombstones.

"Look ahead, there seems to be an old castle over there," Sanji said, pointing behind the cemetery.

Following his pointing finger, everyone could vaguely see an ancient castle hidden in the night, about a kilometer away from the cemetery.

Will the guy who's been eyeing them be there?

Will Brooke be there?

They didn't know, but they knew in their hearts that they needed to go and investigate.

Because the cemetery was so large, taking a detour would have taken them a lot of time. To save time, they boldly entered the cemetery, intending to walk directly through it.

At first, everything was fine.

But once they had fully entered the center of the cemetery, something unexpected suddenly happened.
