Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"Bastard! Look at the sword!"

The wooden sword was wrapped in the flowing wind and stabbed down at an extremely fast speed as if tearing the air apart. With a "puff" sound, it directly sank into its head!

"Ouch!!"

The dog's head that was stabbed immediately let out a wail.

However, the other two heads opened their bloody mouths, with ferocious expressions, and their fangs shining coldly, ready to bite him!

"You beast! Stop being so presumptuous!"

Reiner put his feet on the middle dog head, released the peach wood sword and raised his arms. His muscles swelled instantly and he slapped out with his palms.

boom!boom!

The biting head hit his palm, but it was as if it hit an invisible wall of air and was stopped instantly!

Reiner bent his fingers and grabbed the two heads tightly with skin and flesh. He pulled his arms inward, and the two hideous heads, one blue and one yellow, collided fiercely!

boom!

"Ow!!"

The three-headed dog spitted everywhere and wailed to the sky!

He raised his leg straight up, then chopped it down on the dog's head, hitting it hard with a powerful blow!

boom! !

The impact carried the three heads and smashed them into the ground, creating a deep pit. Cracks spread like a spider web, stirring up thick smoke.

A figure floated down from the sky, his long robe fluttering wildly in the hurricane, his toes lightly tapping the ground, his hands behind his back, leaving the three people with the back of a master.

Reiner turned around and grinned, "Done!"

"What a lousy Taoist priest!!"

Nami, Chopper, and Usopp all bared their teeth and shouted, "You're obviously relying on your fists!!!"

Nonsense, do I really know any Taoist magic?

Reiner raised his fist and smiled softly, "Although I don't know Taoism, I still know a little bit of boxing and kicking."

Chapter 144: Shattered with Thunder

"As expected of a man with a bounty of over 500 million."

At the edge of the forest, a huge bat was hanging upside down on a branch. The strange thing was that it had a human head, and when it folded its wings, it was difficult to tell what species it was.

Batman couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the man below who easily defeated Cerberus (the three-headed dog).

"I'm afraid that neither the animal zombies in the forest nor the soldier zombies in the cemetery near the castle will be of any use. We can't defeat opponents of this level by sheer numbers."

Whoosh!Whoosh!

As he spoke, he released his feet from the branch and flapped his wings to fly into the castle. "We must go back and tell Doctor Hogbag that we can't take down this group of people without the zombie generals."

"You just mentioned Doctor Hogback, didn't you?"

"what!!!"

Hilton's heart almost jumped out of his chest at the sudden sound. He turned around suddenly and found that the man who had just defeated Cerberus had grabbed his feet!

The other party suddenly exerted force, grabbed his arm tightly and threw it downward. Hilton immediately lost control of his body and his whole body slammed to the ground.

boom!

Hilton fell as fast as an arrow, smashing the ground hard, causing countless cracks, and shattered stones flew everywhere, raising dust and smoke.

He struggled with his hands and feet but was unable to stand up. Although he felt no pain, his uncontrollable body told him that he was almost falling apart.

He raised his head with difficulty, and could only see three people and a raccoon cat surrounding him, looking at him and discussing.

"What is this?"

"Batman, →batman, →Batman."

"He looked badly injured, with stitches all over his body."

"A bat's body with a human's appearance. I got it!"

Usopp shuddered and said with absolute certainty: "He must be a vampire!!"

Seeing that Reiner subdued the opponent in an instant, the timid trio no longer panicked as they did at the beginning.

"It's not a vampire. It's just like the dog just now. Its body is modified and spliced together." Reiner pointed to a place not far away where a three-headed dog was lying on the ground and struggling.

"So that's how it is. No wonder there's a fox head mixed in with its three heads."

Hearing this, Chopper understood immediately, and walked forward with some fear, touching the sutures on Hilton's body. After looking at it carefully for a while, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and whispered:

"It's amazing. The person who performed this surgery must have superb medical skills to be able to piece the body together so perfectly."

"Of course."

Hilton grinned sinisterly, "This was performed by one of the four weirdos, Dr. Hogbark."

"Hogbak!!"

Upon hearing the name, Chopper's pupils shrank and he froze in place, "Are you talking about the world-famous genius surgeon Hogbark?"

"Ah, I let it slip. I won't tell you."

Wow!

A huge fireball ignited out of nowhere.

"Yes, that's him."

Hilton was lying on the ground, his body charred black. He said calmly, "Everyone in the world thought he disappeared ten years ago. Actually..."

After being influenced by Reiner, Hilton's attitude towards them became very friendly, answering almost all their questions and fulfilling their requests.

He briefly said a few words about Hogback and answered in detail the information about the zombies on their island.

He was even considerate enough to get a large four-wheeled carriage and drove them all the way to the castle, chatting with them slowly in the carriage.

In the dark forest, a Gothic-style carriage sped along a dirt road, attracting the attention of countless monsters hidden inside wherever it went.

"Would you like a glass of wine?"

Inside the carriage, Hilton took out a few wine glasses and a bottle of red wine and greeted everyone warmly.

"So, these people outside are zombies transformed by that doctor?"

Nami pulled open the curtain of the carriage and looked out. In the gloomy forest, all she could see were various kinds of stitched monsters.

From time to time, she would encounter monsters with human faces and animal bodies, looking at her with obscene or greedy eyes, and even tree monsters.

The dead branches with fallen leaves were twisted, and on the trunk there was a human-like face, like an old grandfather.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, brushing against her skin and instantly causing goose bumps. Nami pulled the curtains again in panic.

After taking a long breath, she couldn't help but glance at Reiner who was sitting next to her, and said with disgust: "They are all a bunch of weird things, just like your undead."

How can they be the same? Reiner was speechless. His undead were much more handsome than these things.

"Your name is Hilton, right? Tell me about those zombie generals."

Reiner leaned on the sofa and waited for the other party's answer. He vaguely remembered that in addition to Ryuma, there were many other good stuff here.

Not to mention Oz, there is also Captain John, a once-powerful figure among the General Zombies. The Rocks ship is really full of talented people.

Moria's methods are really powerful. He has dug up the graves of many big shots.

Tomb Raider!

I just don't know how active the flesh of those corpses is, and how much power they can exert in his hands.

"The general zombies are under the jurisdiction of Lord Absalom. I only know a few of them, such as the wild boar zombie Lola, the spider monkey Talala, the swordsman Ryoma, and Captain John." Hilton slowly read out a few names.

"Do you know anything about Longma? Some of his past legends?"

Reiner mentioned it in emphasis, he had a little impression of the others, but not much, and he didn't care that much.

Hilton was stunned. He thought the other party wanted to know about Longma's fighting ability or something, but he didn't expect that he would ask about his past. Was he here to do archaeology?

“Unfortunately, I only know that he is very strong and his original body was called the Dragon Slayer Swordsman, but I don’t know anything else.

"Doctor Hogback may know more. After all, he has been with Master Moria for many years, and the zombies were transformed by him."

Hilton spoke truthfully. He really didn't know, but he wouldn't tell even if he knew.

Chatting with the other party was just to delay time, and the information provided would occasionally be missed.

When you reach the cemetery outside the castle, let the zombie soldiers hold the opponent back while you take the opportunity to escape.

He has always been doing this job, using sweet words to deceive and lure the enemies.

"But I still have a question!"

Chopper hid behind Usopp and said hastily, "You were transformed into zombies through surgery after death, right? No matter how much treatment you give the dead, they can't be brought back to life."

"That's right!"

Usopp immediately agreed, "Brook's case is just an exception! There are no two identical devil fruits in the world!"

"Um, this." Hilton looked embarrassed.

"It's Moria's ability."

Reiner answered the question for him, “Remember what Brook said about having his shadow taken away? Moriah took someone else’s shadow and stuffed it into their corpse to revive the corpse;

"But the so-called resurrection is actually a superficial phenomenon. Apart from the external body, everything else, such as habits, personality, and thinking patterns, are dominated by the shadow."

Once dead, you are dead. There is no such thing as resurrection, so he was shocked by the ability of Brook's Yomiuri fruit.

Although it does not bring much improvement to strength, in some ways, the Yomiuri Fruit is truly against the will of heaven.

The same goes for the 'Eternal Life Technique' including the Operation Fruit.

As soon as Reiner finished speaking, Batman Hilton immediately looked at Reiner in panic. This guy actually knew Lord Moria's abilities so well.

They are definitely well prepared. We have to find a way to go back and inform the three weirdos!

Chopper's expression became angry, and he pointed at Hilton and shouted in a childish voice,
