He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

Gu Xin frowned, but still wanted to observe the situation before making a decision.

After all, the pregnancy support was already in place, so it's too early to back out now.

Seeing that there was nothing outside, he found an entrance to the ruins and entered.

If someone were to look down from above, they would see that the ruins maze has many entrances, all of which eventually lead to an open space in the center of the island, like a large trap that was deliberately designed.

The ruins are extremely dilapidated, as if they have been the site of many battles; some still have roofs, while others are reduced to load-bearing walls.

The walls were covered with ivy-like plants that emitted a faint green glow at night, providing some illumination.

From the scattered murals and reliefs, one can vaguely discern that this island once had a glorious history, but it all vanished in the end.

Walking in this environment, a strange silence fell over everything, and the sounds of artillery fire and shouts gradually faded away...

However, Guxin and his men did not relax their vigilance; instead, they became more cautious.

Suddenly, a series of rapid, dense footsteps came from the passage to the left front, and the ground trembled slightly, with dust swirling around.

"Let's go take a look," Gu Xin said in a low voice, as he walked to the fork in the road and looked to the left.

The group was led by a simply dressed man and a strange man with short wings, bird legs, and a bird-like face.

Behind them, a group of bizarre-looking zombies were chasing them.

Most of them were animal-like zombies, but there were also soldier zombies whose bodies were covered with stitching marks, making them look horrifying.

"Run faster!" Enke took the lead, his speed was extraordinary, and he ran with ease, as if he were taking a stroll.

At the same time, he didn't forget to remind his companion Brace behind him.

"I'm already running as fast as I can!" Blaise shouted helplessly.

He's just an ordinary person; it's already quite an achievement that he can keep up with Enke's pace even with all his might.

"Don't you have wings? Why don't you fly?"

Enke spat and cursed, "Don't you understand? The wings of a roadrunner are just for show; it can't really fly."

Coming to his senses, Enke saw Guxin and his group appear in front of him, and a glint flashed in his eyes. With his years of experience as a reporter, he could tell that Guxin was by no means a weakling.

He cried out for help: "Friends, help! These zombies are too vicious!"

Zombie.

This creature easily evokes the image of a large, overweight otaku.

Especially in the Devil's Triangle.

Guxin instantly thought of someone... one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea—Gecko Moria!

He is a user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, which allows him to cut out the shadows of others, fill them into corpses, and create zombies (figures) for his control.

This island is clearly his doing. What does he want to do?

While they were pondering, Enke and the other two had already run up to them. Guxin waved his hand casually, and Gardevoir instantly teleported to the front.

It gracefully raised its hands, a veil-like halo floating above its head, and pale pink currents outlined a dreamlike scene, with the moon appearing and disappearing, before suddenly rushing towards the horde of zombies.

[The Power of the Moon]!

Behind the beauty lies endless danger!

In an instant, the moon exploded amidst the zombie horde, unleashing astonishing destructive power. Pink energy erupted like a storm, tearing countless zombies apart in an instant. As their flesh shattered, their shadows drifted away one by one.

Gardevoir also gained a considerable amount of experience points.

In no time at all, the zombie horde was wiped out.

Enke swallowed hard... This group was stronger than he had anticipated.

He believed he possessed considerable strength, otherwise he wouldn't be able to roam freely in this world. However, faced with this army of zombies, he felt powerless and could only flee.

"Thank you for saving me. I, Enke, will always remember this kindness." Enke pounded his chest so hard it resounded through the sky.

"We'll talk about repaying later. Shouldn't you introduce yourselves first?" Gu Xin said calmly.

"I'll go first," Enke said eagerly, clearly an active participant. "My name is Enke, you can call me Runaway Enke."

"As you can see, I am a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user who ate the Bird-Bird Fruit in its Roadrunner form, and I am currently a reporter for the World Economic News."

"You know Morganz, the president of the World Economic News Agency, one of the underground tycoons, right?" Enke said smugly. "He's my distant cousin."

I vaguely remember Guxin; Morgans appears occasionally in the original work.

He is basically depicted as a large humanoid bird, and is the renowned president of the World News Agency, controlling a major channel of public opinion.

He wasn't too surprised that Enke was a Devil Fruit user, but he was somewhat interested in the roadrunner form.

The roadrunner is a special kind of bird whose wings can only be used for gliding, but whose legs are extremely well-developed and make it very good at running. It is known as the fastest "free-range chicken" in the desert.

No wonder Enke runs so fast.

"I'm Blaise, just an ordinary person..." Blaise scratched his cheek awkwardly, seemingly feeling insignificant compared to Enke.

He had neither eaten a Devil Fruit nor had any special background.

"You look like an ordinary guy, but you're not!" Enke jumped up and shrieked. "Can you believe it? This kid actually rowed a small boat all by himself to this treasure island and he's still safe and sound!"

"This is the first time I've ever seen someone so lucky."

Upon hearing Enke's words, Gusin re-examined Blaise.

He knew all too well how fierce the battle had been outside Treasure Island.

Even a number of famous pirates died, the sea was stained red with blood, and corpses fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

But how did Brace, an ordinary man, manage to cross the river in a small boat?

This can definitely be described as good luck.

Gu Xin's situation is easy to understand; after all, it's a two-dimensional world, so it's not unusual for some people to have exceptionally good luck.

Even in the world of One Piece, there are users of the Luck-Luck Fruit, which shows that the ethereal concept of luck is real.

"It was just a coincidence... If I were really lucky, I wouldn't be here." Blaise said regretfully, his eyes dim.

It turns out he lived near the Seven Waters City, his family was poor, and his wife was seriously ill, so he urgently needed money for treatment.

Left with no other choice, he had to take a risk and place his hopes on the so-called Treasure Island.

"Garde..." Gardevoir was deeply moved, as it could clearly sense Blaise's fearless heart in the face of death for the sake of his family.

I hope that ordinary people like Brace can also have a bright future...

"But you should know that this is a choice with almost no chance of survival," Van Augur said calmly, pointing out the cruel reality.

More likely, Blaise will die, and his wife will also die before the money for his life-saving treatment arrives. If it were him, he would probably try other ways to save his wife.

Enke extended a yellow-and-black spotted bird feather, shook it, and said, "Admittedly, this is a risky move, but as far as I know, there are quite a few civilians heading to this island tonight."

"There are too many people in this world whose lives are full of hardships. There are always many people who need to gamble with their lives for the sake of family, friends and other reasons, and often they don't even have the chance to gamble."

"The appearance of Treasure Island gave them a chance to gamble, so even knowing the mortality rate was extremely high, they still risked everything."

"However, ordinary people like Blaise who rush to the front are still a minority. Most people will wait for the pirates to land on the island first, and then land on the island, only intending to pick up the leftovers."
