One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

Upon hearing the sound, Usopp immediately analyzed who was in danger and took out his large slingshot to assemble it.

"That's the sound of an electromagnetic cannon! Chopper's in danger!"

“Let’s go quickly!” Angelia replied after treating a patient with physical injuries.

Seeing the worried expressions on the three people's faces, someone made a request.

"My benefactors! Let us take you there; after all, we are more familiar with this place!"

"Thank you for your trouble!"

"It's alright! It's alright! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had a proper meal. Let's hurry over there. That place is completely different from where humans live. It's a graveyard for zombies."

···

"Merry, drop anchor! Let's go!"

"Okay!" After securing the rudder, Merry released his grip and pulled the lever next to him. His lower limbs, which resembled spirals, quickly contracted and bounced, causing his entire body to leap like a spring and plummet toward the shore. Behind him, the anchor, which looked like a cat's paw, was slid down with a clatter, firmly gripping the seabed.

"Let's go! I'm sure everyone on the island heard the commotion and is heading over there."

"Sister Robin! Let me carry you on my back!"

"Thanks!" Without being polite, Robin, who was running, climbed directly onto Merry's golden back.

Seeing Robin sitting comfortably on Merry's back, Sanji flew into a rage and started cursing at Merry.

"Damn it! You beat me to it."

"You perverted cook! You actually got angry with a robot!"

"Damn it! I must take care of Miss Robin's body!"

"You two bastards! Are you looking down on me because I'm a robot?"

Robin, perched on Merry's shoulder, chuckled as he watched the three of them fooling around below.

"Hehe! It's really lively!"

···

"Depressed! Depressed! Depressed! Hehe! Hehe! Is this the man worth 370 million Berries? He's so easy to catch!" A pink-haired girl with a small flower umbrella floated back and forth in the air, looking at Luffy who was slumped on the ground and giggling.

"I'm so useless! I just want to be a seashell and crawl into a hole!"

"Hehe! Hehe! A battle has broken out over at Lord Moria's place! I'm going to capture them all."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Go! My most satisfying work is finally about to be resurrected! Shadow Cut!"

He pinched the shadow below with his fingers, letting it struggle in his hand. With a swift scissor, the shadow in his hand was separated from its owner on the ground.

"Throw him out!"

"Yes, Lord Moria!" The zombie guard beside him immediately stepped forward and responded.

Chapter 149 Facing the Zombie Legion! (Second Update)

"Thirty million volts! Thunderbird!"

Blue and white lightning flashed on the golden arm, from which several thunderbirds emerged, carrying wisps of electricity as they flew away, leaving everything in their wake emitting plumes of blue smoke and collapsing to the ground.

"Thirty-six kinds of troubles for the phoenix!"

Zoro, wielding his long sword, launched a surprise attack on the zombie army that had broken through their defenses, and cursed them vehemently.

"Damn it! Have we stumbled upon a zombie abyss? How come there are so many zombies that we can't kill them all?!"

"Mia is really into this now!" Sanji kicked away a drooling zombie.

Franky, who had pulled out a steel pipe from a distance, faced the surging zombie army, bulged his arm, and roared loudly!

"Let's see what I have in store! Wind Cannon!"

boom!

With a loud bang, the intense wind pressure instantly cleared a vast, empty passage in front of him.

Franky burst into laughter as he looked at his masterpiece! He then struck a pose with his arms outstretched at an angle.

"Haha! Haha! Owning a Coca-Cola production line is really advantageous! Plus, with a hundred or so water tankers, it'll be no problem! Leave the rest to me!"

"Good job, Franky! Hurry up!" Without even looking at his posture, he patted Franky on the shoulder to remind him.

Merry’s voice echoed in everyone’s minds as he walked briskly by. Two Thunderbirds emerged from his shoulders and glided along the sides of the sweeping path, cleaning it up.

"Good job, Franky! Leave the rest to me, Thunderbird!"

Seeing that all the zombies around him had been wiped out, Zoro put his long sword back into his waistband and laughed.

"They're all incredibly strong! I can't fall behind!"

···

"Gunpowder Star! Gunpowder Star!"

With each roar of Usopp, clusters of fireballs, several meters in diameter, blazed with intense heat along the way.

"Heavenly Thunderclouds!" Nami, while walking, cast various lightning bolts in the distance, annihilating the reinforcements behind her.

"Sacred Chains! Sacred Chains!"

Angelia strolled through the burning jungle, swinging her arms to connect chains to the surrounding trees, linking all the targets together and throwing them far into the distance.

The crowd following behind the three watched the fight unfold, and those who had initially wanted to help suddenly felt powerless.

How can we assist now? They've already dealt with all the zombies!

"How terrifying! How terrifying! Is this the Straw Hat crew that's been causing all this trouble lately? They're just the navigator, doctor, and sniper. If their captain were here, how terrifying would that be!"

As pirates hiding on this island, they also receive news birds and use their remaining Berries to buy newspapers and learn about the world. Naturally, they are not unfamiliar with the Straw Hat crew, who are the subject of much discussion.

“They already possess the power of pirates in the New World! With this strength, they won’t be bullied much inside!” A woman with a giant face behind them said in a deep voice.

“Even ordinary pirates don’t have this strength,” someone else chimed in.

Suddenly, someone knelt on the ground, tears welling in their eyes, and sobbing.

"A shadow! I have a shadow now!"

"Shadow! Ah!"

"The shadow has returned!"

"We can finally get out of this damn place! This is great!"

One after another, people cried out in surprise, watching their familiar shadows fly back from the sky to merge with the originals, laughing wildly, and looking at the figures in front of them with gratitude.

"Nami, Usopp, Angelina, thank you so much!"

"Brothers! We can't fall behind! We can't let our benefactor fight alone!"

"Alright! We're pirates who roam the Grand Line, after all!"

Further away, figures hiding in the distance gradually gathered in this direction, drawing their weapons and, led by the three in front, hacking down the remaining zombies.

Perona, floating high in the sky, watched in horror as three battlegrounds of varying sizes spread across the island. From a distance, the three battlegrounds appeared to be advancing in a straight line towards them, with one of the battlegrounds being slashed across the ground into a fishbone-like shape. It wouldn't be long before they reached the front of the island.

"Oh dear! Oh dear! Where did all these terrifying people come from?!"

"Take care of this first! Then go inform Lord Moria!"

"Dejected! Dejected!" Several white phantoms suddenly appeared around them and charged toward the nearest battle scene.

···

"Hoo hoo! This is too much! I don't have enough energy stones on me!" Chopper pulled the trigger on the electromagnetic cannon, which could no longer be fired, and put it away again. However, the Flame Shells in the Burning Cannon had already been exhausted.

Jack scratched his huge tiger head and looked at the white cloud eggs of different sizes behind him.

"They're really hard to kill! Even if you separate their bodies, they can still move! The only solution is to tie them up."

"Find Luffy as soon as possible! I'm sure Zoro and the others heard the noise and are already heading this way. They'll be able to join us soon!"

"Hehe! Hehe! Depressed! Depressed!" A jumble of laughter echoed from the air, and several white ghosts appeared in front of the three.

"Huh! What is that?"

"Ugh! I'm a flea! I'm a flea!"

Seeing Jack kneeling on the ground and hearing his unusually dejected words, Mia immediately knew that the white ghost in front of her had the same Devil Fruit ability!

"Oh no! This is the same ability as Mabi! Chopper, I'll stop him! You go find the real thing!"

"Good! Good! Arm strength enhancement!" Knowing Maggie's terrifying ability to put living beings to sleep, Chopper's leg strength instantly increased, and he leaped away!

The mischievous voice giggled again.

"Hehe! Nobody's leaving! Depressed! Depressed!"

Mia flipped her wrist and took off a white bracelet from above. She gripped it tightly with one hand and swung her arm, striking the head of the white ghost that was falling from the sky!

"Oh my god! What is this thing?! Why is it so weak?!"

Perona's illusory figure peeked out from the treetop, staring at the white bracelet below with a look of terror on her face. The ghost beside her trembled and huddled together for comfort.

"found it!"

"Cherry Blossom Hoof!" Chopper, still searching in the woods, sprang high into the air, swinging his arms to strike the figure in front of him!

"Ah! No!"

Seeing the attack coming right through her, Perona, who was on defense, breathed a sigh of relief and commanded the ghosts around her to attack!

"Huh? Nothing's wrong! Depressed! Depressed!"

"Ugh! I really want to jump into the sea and become a fish!"

"Hehe! As expected, not everyone can defend against this."

Perona, who regained her confidence after seeing someone else fall victim to the attack, chuckled, unaware that a fist with a white bracelet was appearing above her head!

"dissipate!"

"You bastard!"
