Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Upon hearing this, Moriah's face suddenly darkened.

He roared at the zombies that had stormed in:

"Your whole family is the one who's not doing well! Which eye of yours saw me not doing well? I'm perfectly fine! I could eat ten buckets of rice!"

"No...that's not what I meant!!"

The zombie spoke haltingly, its legs trembling violently.

The next moment, an eyeball fell out of his eye.

Moriah: ...

This is the most important reason why he wanted to recruit Hogback.

"Lord Moriah... I wanted to say that there's a warship anchored outside our ship!"

"warship?!"

Upon hearing this, Moria was taken aback for a moment, but then, as if he had thought of something, a smile appeared on his lips.

"What's the panic! It's most likely Absalom is back!"

"Lord Moria, if we attack the Navy, wouldn't that...?"

Suddenly, Hogback, who was standing to the side, asked a question with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Hehehehehe!!"

"Don't worry, Hogback, what's the Navy?"

"This isn't the first time I've targeted the Navy. Some of the zombies under my command were planted by Navy agents!"

"It's been so long, do you think I've done something wrong?"

"My strength is not something that ordinary Tom, Dick, or Harry can compare to. If the Navy wants to mess with me, they'd better think twice before trying to take down this tough nut!"

"Won't it break their teeth?!"

Moriah's face was filled with arrogance.

"Lord Moria is mighty!!"

Perona, standing to the side, raised her hands again and shouted.

Perona has a complete grasp on the emotional value aspect.

"What kind of navy is that?! How could they possibly be a match for Lord Moria?!"

"Hehehehehe!!"

Moriah burst into laughter again.

Upon hearing this, Hogback visibly breathed a sigh of relief and also laughed.

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"

And so the three of them burst into laughter in the castle, while the zombie squatted on the ground searching for its own eyeballs.

puff! !

The next moment, a sound of a gelatinous substance being crushed was heard, causing the zombie's body to shudder...

-

On the other side, Kyle and the others arrived at a long passageway.

The floor of the passageway was covered with bones, and the surrounding environment was dark and quiet, exuding an inexplicable chill.

But this did not frighten them; instead, it excited them even more, and they looked around with shining eyes.

Luffy jumped out and shouted:

"Zombies? Ghosts? Skeletons?!"

"Where are you? Come out now!!"

The atmosphere here inexplicably gives Luffy the feeling of a nighttime adventure, which is incredibly exciting!

However, after a while, not a single ghost appeared, which made Luffy a little disappointed. Undeterred, he shouted a few more times.

"Zombies? Come out and catch me!"

"A ghost?? Won't you come out and play with me?"

"Skeletons?! Skeletons will do! Skeletons on the ground, I know you can piece yourselves together and stand up, come on!"

"Don't worry about scaring me, it's okay!!"

……

The atmosphere in the air fell silent again, not even the cawing of a crow could be heard.

A few more seconds passed.

"Damn it!! Do you cowards dare to come out?"

"If you've got the guts, come out and fight me now, or you'll be in big trouble when I find you!!"

Seeing this, Sanji chuckled and looked at Luffy indifferently, saying:

"Luffy! Do you think it's possible that you're too weak, and those things don't want to come out and bully you?"

"What did you say?!"

Luffy suddenly turned around, staring intently at Sanji. After a long while, he suddenly smiled, slightly stepped aside to make room for him, and even made a gesture of invitation.

"Come on, Sanji, you do it! You can do it!!"

"I'd like to see if your strength is enough to summon them!"

Luffy had a cold smile on his lips, his words were sarcastic, and he was picking his nose.

The contempt is off the charts!!

He wanted to see what good those curly eyebrows could possibly be!

(⊙o⊙)...

Sanji was taken aback for a moment, a hint of embarrassment on his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

He only meant to make a joke, but now he's in a bit of a bind.

But now that things have come to this, there's no way he can back down, or he'll be laughed at for the rest of his life!

Sanji slowly walked forward, came to Luffy's side, glanced at Luffy sideways, and said:

"Watch carefully and learn carefully!!"

"Cough cough!!"

After clearing his throat, Sanji roared:

"My people, come forth and pay homage to me at once!!!"

Everyone: ? ? ?

In an instant, everyone's expression froze, and they all stiffly turned their heads.

This……

To be honest, no one expected Sanji to say that.

Kyle's lips twitched.

"Sanji, when did you become so obsessed with being king, just like Luffy?"

"Hahaha..."

The next moment, a loud laugh suddenly rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Zoro kneeling down, clapping his hands on the ground and laughing so hard that tears streamed down his face.

"Hahaha... Me?!?"

"Hahaha!"

Then Zoro stood up again and roared, mimicking Sanji's expression from before:

"My people, come out and pay homage... Ahahaha!!"

"No!! I really can't say such embarrassing things. You think you can bring those things out like this? Dream on..."

"Waaaaah~~"

Before Zoro could finish speaking, a wailing sound suddenly came from the darkness.

!!!

For a moment, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji turned their heads sharply to look, but the expressions on their faces were not the same.

Luffy and Zoro's expressions were stiff and blank, while Sanji showed a hint of joy, and his mouth stretched into a wide grin as a dark figure emerged from the darkness.

Before long, a strange creature emerged from the darkness and appeared before them in everyone's sight.

"Cerberus?!"

Guina tilted her head, her tone tinged with curiosity.

The creature before them had three heads, its body covered in wounds and bandages, and its gaze toward them was incredibly fierce.

The next moment, he suddenly roared at everyone.

"Woof!"

"Woof!"

"Waaah~"

???

In that instant, everyone's eyes turned to the yellow head, including the two blue dog heads.

Feeling so many gazes, the man with yellow hair lowered his head, looking rather self-conscious.

"This...it looks like a fox's head, not a dog's head!!"

……
