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

The Devil's Triangle is located in the latter half of the Paradise phase and covers a very wide area.

The next convenient destination was the extremely prosperous Sabaody Archipelago.

Ships typically need to pass through the Devil's Triangle to reach the Sabaody Archipelago, which has led to numerous tragedies.

The Devil's Triangle is shrouded in dense fog year-round, resulting in the loss of more than a hundred ships there each year.

If it weren't for the existence of a record pointer, no one would be willing to enter the Devil's Triangle.

Even with a log pointer, the chances of an accident in this sea area cannot be reduced.

However, in such a dangerous environment, an enormous ship has remained there for many years.

Thriller Bark, the ship of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

After a period of sailing, the Bictini finally entered this devilish zone that was feared by outsiders.

Thick fog blanketed the area, and visibility plummeted in an instant.

Even though the terrifying three-masted ship was exceptionally large, finding it was no easy task.

Fortunately, Gengar had read Absalom's memories, and as one of the three executives, Absalom naturally knew the techniques of finding his way.

Soon after, a huge outline appeared in the foreground of the Victini.

It's more like a small island than a ship.

The overall outline of the terror schooner is circular, with a surrounding wall.

In the very center is a huge gate.

Behind the wall is another ring of inner sea, surrounding the main island in the center.

The island is dotted with eerie and mysterious jungles, with a cluster of ancient castles at its very center.

Three giant masts stand on either side of the city wall and behind the island's ancient castle.

Each mast is adorned with sails whose combined area exceeds that of the island.

On the deck, Guxin stood with his hands behind his back, silently gazing at the enormous machine before him, subconsciously recalling what Brook had said in the original story.

The terror tugboat was originally a huge island from the western sea.

It was only after being modified by humans that it became what it is today.

How did the terrifying three-masted sailing ship from the Western Sea arrive at the Devil's Triangle during the Paradise stage?

Did it come from Upside Down Mountain? From the Windless Belt? Or perhaps it's a Floating Fruit?

Regardless, this place is indeed unique, and he believes it should be able to breed Pokémon, most likely Ghost-type.

"Wow, what a huge ship!" Urouge smiled. "A sailing ship the size of an island, truly amazing."

This pirate ship is so big, and it belongs to one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

There must be many enemies up there that you can fight, right?

Thinking of this, Urki's smile widened, and excitement flashed in his eyes.

The large, strong hand gripping the rudder unconsciously tightened its grip.

"Yes, I've only heard of it before, but seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation." Yi Xiao walked over, leaning on his cane, and wholeheartedly agreed.

Anyone who sees a Thriller Bark for the first time would be astonished.

squeak~

Chopper pushed open the door and came out, shrinking his neck as he said, "I heard there are a lot of zombies up there. I wonder what they look like?"

"That must be terrifying, right?"

"Don't worry!" Meow Meow followed closely behind, patted its chest with its paw, and said triumphantly, "With Boss Meow Meow around, any zombie can be dealt with easily."

"Hey, this is a special gun I made on the spot. It's similar to a slingshot, and it's filled with a lot of salt."

"Once you see a zombie, aim it and shoot."

Meow Meow took out several salt guns and distributed them to Chopper, Vivi, and the others.

It learned about the zombies' weaknesses from Guxin beforehand, so it casually created this little gadget.

Strong individuals may not need it, but it's quite useful for Chopper and others. It saves a lot of effort; they can just keep shooting.

Generally speaking, zombies are incredibly strong and have a special physique, so they need to be dealt with using either salt or by killing their shadow master.

However, there are other methods, such as using powerful auras to directly destroy the zombie's body, preventing the shadow from attaching... which can also solve the zombie army problem.

"Gecko Moria? I've heard he's obsessed with collecting corpses and shadows to mass-produce zombie armies."

Robin leaned against the fence, dressed in a violet dress, recalling various pieces of information while talking to herself.

"However, it was precisely because of this behavior that we got into trouble with Guxin." Robin said, smiling as she looked at her captain.

Now Robin no longer uses unfamiliar honorifics like "Captain" or "Ship's Doctor" to address his crewmates, but instead uses normal titles.

It is common knowledge that the Shichibukai Gushin and Moria had a feud.

After all, Gushin rose to prominence by stepping on the heads of Absalom and Mars, and thus his fame grew.

Van Augur walked behind Gushin, adjusted his glasses, and said calmly, "It's time to put a period to this matter. Revenge will come sooner or later."

Although Absalom did not name them specifically.

But the Treasure Island incident has also affected them, that is an indisputable fact.

So for both Gushin and Moria, the day of revenge was bound to come sooner or later... and it is today!

Van Augur is the first member of Gushin's team and the person who has been with him the longest, having experienced that night on Treasure Island.

That's why he now admires his own judgment even more.

He didn't misjudge him.

Guxin will surely become the king of the new era! He firmly believes this.

Soon, the Victini docked at the shore.

Robin, the fossil pterosaur, and the happy egg stayed behind, while the rest of them boarded the Thriller Bark at Guxin's command.

At that moment, a new conception emerged in Guxin's mind.

Not long after they came ashore, they smelled a putrid stench.

Chopper covered his nose and said helplessly, "This stinks! It smells like a rotting corpse."

"It's understandable. After all, it's normal for the island to be filled with the stench of corpses when making zombies," Vivi said gently, sitting on Karu's duck back.

It's worth mentioning that Karoo didn't stay idle during those seven months. Instead of staying in Visalia with Vivi, it trained with Chopper, Urouge, and the others.

Considering that the [quasi-god] spot was just sitting empty anyway, Guxin also gave a Monarch's Mark to Karoo to help it improve its talent.

As it trained, it developed a certain domineering aura, and its physique improved significantly. It was no longer the weak and stupid duck it used to be.

Guxin leads the way in the center.

From front to back on the left are Ichisho, Vivi, Chopper, and Nyanko.

From front to back on the right are Urki, Van Augur, and Gardevoir.

It is cone-shaped overall.

It looked quite imposing, heading straight for the center of the island.

Of course, this lack of concealment also made them quickly spotted by the zombies patrolling the island.

A moment later, a three-headed dog zombie with stitches all over its body walked over, its three mouths simultaneously spewing foul-smelling saliva.

"roar!"

The next moment, the three-headed dog pounced and attacked Guxin, who was at the front.

Guxin remained calm, showing no intention of taking any action. Then, Urki flashed in front of him, his two large hands gripping the dog's two heads tightly, his smile filled with excitement.

"I can't let you disturb my captain!"
