Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

Hogbak took off his mask with a long sigh.

Turning around, he looked at a beast-like man sitting on the sofa behind him. He was immediately furious and shouted at him with his teeth bared:

"Asshole! Do you know how rare these zombie generals' bodies are? I put so much effort into transforming them."

As he spoke, he pointed to the corner where nearly ten zombies were piled up and unable to move, and said angrily:

"It turned out to be broken into this state! So many zombies were smashed to pieces and can no longer be used. This loss is too great! These are all my hard work!"

"Don't be angry, Hogbark. There's nothing we can do about it."

Absalom folded his arms in front of him, leaned against the sofa and said calmly:

"Those guys are much stronger than I thought, especially Blackfoot Sanji and Roronoa. If Perona hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the zombie generals I brought would have been wiped out.

"Now at least we have captured a shadow of Blackfoot Sanji. Lord Moria said that it is a very strong shadow. All these losses are worth it."

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

Hogbag raised his head and grinned, "I wonder which of my masterpieces he will be placed in. I am really looking forward to it!"

"Don't be happy too soon. The group outside has already entered the castle."

Absalom looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"Black Snake Reiner, that guy is definitely not easy to deal with. Although I haven't seen him take action, the bounty is there after all. It's actually higher than that of Lord Moria."

"That being said, Lord Moria's bounty was before he became a Shichibukai, and this time we have Ryoma and several powerful zombie generals here."

Hogbak spoke weakly. He knew nothing about fighting and couldn't judge much.

"Lord Absalom! Lord Hogbark!"

At this time, there were several shouts from the corridor outside the door. The two turned around and saw the three little zombies serving Moria running in hurriedly.

"What's the rush?" Absalom asked calmly.

A little zombie carrying a bow and arrow stood up and said:

"Master Absalom, the master said he wants to bring the swordsman Ryoma over, as well as the wind Jigoro. Roronoa has been captured!"

"Oh? How did you do that?"

Absalom couldn't help but wonder. After all, capturing Blackfoot Sanji destroyed so many of his zombie generals. After getting help from Hobgobak, he immediately came back with the zombies. So who captured Roronoa?

"Forget it, as long as he's caught, I'll let him go with you."

"Wait a minute!"

Hogbag shouted hurriedly, "Forget about Kaze no Jigoro! Ryoma is my bodyguard. If he is called away, who will protect me?"

"Hey, don't forget, I'm the one who commands the zombie generals."

Absalom stood up and said, "There are so many zombie generals here. What are you afraid of? I will stay and help myself. After all."

He turned and walked out the door, "I've already chosen my bride, and I'm going to marry her!"

After a while, three little zombies carried away a corpse, followed by a man in tattered samurai clothes.

I have something to do. Let's stop here for today and we'll continue tomorrow.

Chapter 146: The Talent of Observation Haki

Inside the dark castle, Reiner and his three companions were walking in a long corridor.

There were stone brick walls on both sides, with torches placed every few meters, providing barely adequate illumination with dim light.

There are many paintings on the wall, all of which are abstract close-ups of various characters.

Reiner walked in front, with Nami and Uso following closely on both sides, one body length behind.

The depths of the long and narrow corridor seemed to be swallowed by darkness, and there was no end in sight.

"This island is so eerie wherever we go." Chopper, who was sitting on his shoulder, couldn't help but feel uneasy.

From the moment you enter the island, all the way to the dark forest that hides all kinds of strange creatures, the cemetery wasteland full of ugly zombies, to the current ghost castle, everywhere is filled with a horror atmosphere.

"I wish I could be as bold as Luffy." Chopper couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

Usopp patted his back and explained soothingly:

"People like Chopper, Reiner, Zoro and Sanji are called courageous. Luffy is different. He doesn't have such emotions in his mind. Normal people can't compare with him."

"makes sense."

Chopper lowered his head and sighed, then tilted his head with a puzzled look.

"By the way, Reiner, at the beginning you said you were coming here to look for someone, who is he?"

"He's the doctor who helped Moria transform zombies, Hogbark."

Reiner glanced at him, turned back and continued walking forward, saying: "I want some zombies here to make undead. He knows more about the physical condition of zombies, so let's see if we can meet any."

"Humph! I want to go find him too!"

Chopper's eyes showed a trace of anger, and he shouted with dissatisfaction,

"As a doctor, he actually used his knowledge and skills to desecrate the dead! This is an insult to medical skills. I used to admire him so much. I must teach him a lesson when the time comes!"

"Chopper, you are quite professional." Nami said with a smile.

Chopper suddenly became shy, covering his face with his hands and turning his head left and right, "Even if you say that to me, I shouldn't be happy, asshole."

"Come to think of it, isn't it a little too quiet after we entered this castle?"

Nami asked in confusion, looking back at the darkness behind her, her expression became a little worried, and said: "I haven't encountered any zombies, but I feel like there are zombies everywhere around me."

"Really? I had the same feeling. I thought it was just an illusion because I was too scared!" Usopp quickly agreed.

Reiner couldn't help but glance at the two of them. Their feeling was right. There were indeed zombies all around.

It has been quite a while since he came in. All the paintings on the walls along the way are zombies lying in ambush, but they just don't dare to attack him.

However, the timid trio was in a state of nervous panic, and they obviously didn't pay close attention. Chopper had no idea how the two of them felt it.

Reiner thought of a possibility, could they all have good potential in observation Haki?

He knew that Usopp definitely had it, but Nami seemed to have never practiced it. However, considering Nami's personality and fighting style, it was reasonable for her to have a talent for Observation Haki.

Of course, it is not ruled out that this is a power called "women's sixth sense".

I'll talk to her about this later, Reiner collected his thoughts, and the four of them continued walking for a while.

The white light of the exit could be seen in front of the corridor; they were almost at the end.

Sudden.

boom! !

Just when Nami and the others relaxed a little, the wall on the left was suddenly broken.

As gravel flew, an arm as thick as a bucket stretched out from it, with a gray and wrinkled surface, and grabbed her!

"what!"

It's sizzling!

Reiner just stretched out his arm to block it, but Nami had already subconsciously transformed into an element. A flash of lightning flashed next to the thick arm, and she drew out the Weather Stick, and the lightning condensed like liquid and covered it.

She held a long stick that was carrying high temperature in both hands, and slashed it upwards from bottom to top like a thunder blade!

The giant arm was about to be pulled away, but it found a huge force holding it tightly, and no matter how hard it tried, it was difficult to retract it.

After the scorching lightning blade was slashed down, it seemed to encounter some resistance. The opponent's physical strength was far beyond that of the ordinary zombies outside.

Nami gritted her teeth and increased the power of thunder, and finally cut it in half. The person behind the wall suddenly staggered back and fell to the ground.

Only a mirror-smooth arm with burning embers remained, and Reiner threw it away.

Usopp and Chopper reacted and looked through the hole in the wall, only to see a humanoid beast with horns, staring at them with glowing scarlet eyes.

At the same time, there was a slender figure standing next to the other party. He was wearing a black cowboy hat and a black cloak, and had four arms, which looked strange at a glance.

boom! boom! boom!

Bang! The man in the windbreaker drew out the pistols from his waist with all four hands at the same time, and pulled the trigger without any aiming at all. Four bullets came in the blink of an eye!

Ding!Ding!Ding!

The bone chain sword on Reiner's waist circled continuously, and the steel-hard white bone shield caused sparks to fly, protecting Reiner and the two people behind him in time.

Nami let the bullet pass through her elemental body, and swung the Weather Stick in her backhand. A violent bolt of lightning came out like a whip, dragging along the ground, blowing up gravel and lashing towards the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the man in the windbreaker was extremely agile. He dodged the lightning with a light jump and even fired a few more shots!

boom! !

Just as they blocked the bullet, another wall behind them was violently broken, and a tall zombie wearing golden armor and having a very long beard, like a general, appeared behind them.

The tall general held a double-edged sword and a shield. He held the shield horizontally in front of him while raising the sword above his head and was ready to chop down.

"Look at me!"

boom!

Chopper, who had transformed into a burly humanoid figure at some point, bent his right arm and punched the opponent's shield, causing him to slide back half a meter.

"The Flame Star must be killed!"

Wow!

Usopp fired a marble with his slingshot, which instantly exploded into a ball of fire when it landed on the opponent's face.

However, the opponent was a zombie without feeling pain, and the two people's impromptu attacks obviously did not have much impact on his movements.

The long beard fluttered under the flaming head, and the big sword came crashing down!

boom! !

The two men dodged to the sides in time, and the huge sword blade chopped the ground and penetrated half of it like cutting tofu.

Reiner stepped on it to prevent the other party from pulling away, rolled up the sleeves of his blue shirt, and clenched his fists, revealing the muscle lines on his arms.

boom! !

A powerful punch hit the opponent's shield, and the invisible air seemed to be shaken and ripples appeared, and the powerful impact spread in all directions!
