Arceus' Pirate Journey

Before Yuki could say anything, the other members of the Rumba Pirates rushed over and asked questions one after another.

Here, they no longer rely on appearance to identify others, but on their souls. Brook has a very deep bond with them, so they will come here based on their feelings.

"Shut up! I'm the captain, let me ask first!"

Chapter 1231 Huangquan Regret Completion Conference

Yuchi finally overcame all objections and calmed down all the ghosts on the ship.

To make crying children laugh, this was the original intention of the Rumbar Pirates' voyage. The crew members also knew some music, but they were not as good as Brook.

Although they are called a pirate group, their essence is more like an armed opera troupe sailing on the sea. As the captain, Yuchi is still convincing enough.

"I see. The Yomiuri fruit you ate had this effect. How did you become like this?"

"Well...after I left Huangquan, my soul got lost. By the time I found my body, it had already decayed. Fortunately, my hair roots are very strong, otherwise I would have become bald. Yohohoho."

Maybe it was because they were reunited after a long separation, the ghosts of the Rumba Pirates did not pay attention to Brook's skeleton joke, but instead kept asking Brook about some situations.

How is the day going, how is Lab, it looks like a big party.

"Captain Yuchi, are there fewer people here? I remember everyone should be..."

"Yes, everyone is dead except you, but the ghosts of Huangquan will also dissipate. We don't know how long they can exist. Some people disappeared shortly after they arrived, while some people can exist for a very long time.

But it doesn’t matter. After dying once, we can still be reunited here, which is already a great thing.”

The Land of the Underworld is not an eternal place. According to Youqi, the ghosts here will also dissipate, but no one knows where they will eventually go.

They are just passers-by in this underworld and do not understand the rules here.

Huang Quan is mostly indifferent to other matters except extraditing the dead.

The last time the Origin strayed here was due to an accident, but this time it was Huang Quan who took the initiative to spread it in order to fight the enemy. Huang Quan's own performance was naturally different, so Luffy and the others did not hear any words like "the living should leave this place."

The ghosts of the Rumba Pirates were ready to study the music again, but Yugi looked at Luffy and the others.

"Are these your new companions? They look good. We old guys are relieved that you can find a new home."

"Yes, they are all very reliable people. By the way, a few of our companions are missing. Do you know where they will appear?"

"Lost? That's hard to deal with. Huang Quan's sense of space is a very special thing. If you are separated from others, it is not easy to find them again without any special methods. Basically, you can only rely on luck..."

After hearing from Brooke that their companions were lost here, Yuchi also felt very troubled.

"Then how did you find it?"

"As a dead man, I can't really tell about the feelings and spiritual things. If you go by your feelings, the probability of running into each other is still quite high.

We were able to find you because we were once companions. If you want to find him... you'll have to rely on yourself.

We can help and go with you to look for it separately. Unlike you who are alive, we dead companions are familiar with each other's scent and can find it even if we are separated.

We can also roughly sense where there are living people, and can help you eliminate some wrong directions."

Yuki gave his own suggestion, asking the undead group of the Rumbar Pirates to follow the Straw Hat Pirates to try to find Zoro's trace, and agreed on a time. If the time is exceeded, they must return to the Rumbar Pirates' ghost ship even if they haven't found him.

After making the decision, Franky and Chopper walked together in a direction based on their feeling as Yuchi said.

Because of Brook, they chose to believe in these people from the Rumbar Pirates, so each group was followed by some members of the Rumbar Pirates.

The vision in Huangquan was not clear, and there was a lot of fog on the ground. As he walked, Chopper suddenly felt his feet stop, and then he tripped to the ground.

The wind caused by the falling body caused the fog to drift away, and what came into view was a corpse.

"Ah!! It's a mummy!"

"Isn't this the underworld? It's normal to have corpses here."

"No, you two, you are wrong. There will be no corpses in the underworld. This is the kingdom of the dead, not a cemetery. The corpses that can appear here can only be the living..."

"Franky, Zoro has become like this too..."

"Believe him, we can only go find him as soon as possible."

The two continued to search for Zoro's location, but a mysterious force made Chopper meet another person.

"Doctor?! Why are you here... No, you are here... That's not right... Are you really a doctor?!"

A ghost was groping for something in front, his hair and face almost formed a cross. After hearing Chopper's voice, the ghost's head turned 180 degrees, and then his body followed suit.

"Chopper? Why are you here? Reindeer shouldn't have such a short lifespan, right? Is it different from other reindeer because it has a blue nose?"

"I'm not dead yet! Give me back the emotion I just felt!"

Hearing Blue Nose's name, Chopper instinctively became irritable, but as soon as he shouted a word, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

"Doctor Shilluluk, you are here indeed."

They did not stop, but continued to search for Sauron's trace, but there was one more ghost in the team, the ghost of Hiluluk.

Chopper has been excluded by the deer herd since he was young because of his peculiarity. After eating the Human-Human Fruit, he was expelled from the deer herd and feared by the villagers. Hiruluk is like another father to him.

Shiruluk was a doctor, but he was an out-and-out quack. There was basically no disease he could cure.

Later, Hiluluk was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Chopper heard from others that a kind of mushroom could cure the disease, and he went through great difficulties to find it.

But Chopper didn't know any medicine at that time, and didn't know that it was not a healing medicine, but a poisonous mushroom.

Hiruluk didn't have much time left to begin with, and at that time he was almost at the end of his rope. In order to thank Chopper for his kindness, he drank the poison even though he knew it was poisonous, and eventually died from Wapol's trap.

"I learned a lot from Doctor Doriel, and Wapol was driven away. Magnetic drum... no, that place is now the Sakura Kingdom.

I am on my way to find the real panacea."

Chopper wanted to touch Hiluluk's body, but in the end he only touched nothingness. Even though Hiluluk still maintained the appearance he had when he died, the ghost body was telling Chopper that everything could not go back.

"A panacea. Speaking of which, I have some ideas that I haven't told you yet. I think if this is the case..."

Shiruluk spoke out a prescription and his own ideas, and Chopper's hair stood up when he heard it.

"Stop talking! What kind of devilish idea is this? Do you want everyone who takes this medicine to die?"

If he had changed his career to making poisons, Shiruluk might have been a genius.

It is undeniable that he is a quack doctor who cannot cure human diseases, but he has been trying to cure the diseases of a country...

The addition of Shiruluk brought some fun to the team and a bit of nostalgia to the cold underworld.

The grouping of Usopp and Von Clay was similar, except that Usopp met his mother. Looking at the muscular lines on Usopp's body, she also lamented that her child had grown up.

......

On the other side, Judge and others had also dismantled their mechas. After arriving here, the big one in front of them disappeared out of thin air, leaving only an empty field.

Even the combat uniforms that had been taken away before were scattered around nearby, allowing them to pick them up directly.

Not long after they found the combat suits, some undead targeted them. The technological weapons were useless in front of these undead, and they could only rely on the flying ability provided by the combat suits to retreat.

"What on earth are these..."

There are also differences in strength between ghosts. They can still avoid ordinary ghosts, but there are some special individuals that almost kill them.

Now they are facing a ghost that cannot be shaken off, but only Judge is afraid of it, while his children are not at all shaken.

Only now did he feel a little bit of the evil consequences of his own actions. Children who do not know fear are good fighting weapons, but they have no ability to empathize.

Even when he showed his fear, all he heard was the children's disdainful laughter.

In the face of life and death crisis, his instinct for survival made him choose to swing the spear in his hand, and this strike successfully killed the strange ghost.

"What's going on? Where is this?"

"This is the land of Hades, Jiazhi."

A gentle voice sounded in Jiazhi's ears. His children remained unchanged, but Jiazhi's body stiffened.

"Sora...Sora?!"

Vinsmoke Sora, the former queen of the Germa Kingdom, said that normal living people cannot harm the world of the dead. Only ghosts who are already dead can do this.

If the relationship between the two parties is close enough, the dead souls can temporarily transfer this power to the living.

"You were the one who transformed these children into heartless machines with super powers. Do you still think this is right? Even though you are their father, they are still indifferent when they see you dying in front of them."

There was love between Sora and Judge, and they lived very close lives before Judge decided to transform his child, so it is not surprising that Sora found this place.

At the same time, Sanji also appeared nearby, and only Sanji and Reiju felt the remembrance of their mother's death.

Especially Sanji, who was able to retain all his emotions intact and became a "failure" in Judge's eyes because Sora took drugs that were enough to affect her bloodline factors when she was pregnant.

Judging from the changes in Sanji in the original timeline, he was the only successful child, and Sora's body gradually weakened due to the sequelae of the drugs after the birth of the child, and he eventually died of illness.

The promise she made with Sanji to "eat the meal you cooked again" could no longer be fulfilled.

The current environment is not suitable. Sanji can't find a place to make food, and the members of the Rumbar Pirates also told him that the undead cannot eat like normal people.

In the face of Sora's questioning, Judge didn't say anything, but he was unwilling to admit Sora's words, that was his obsession with technology.

"Even if he's indifferent, it's better than this useless son, isn't it?"

"Jage, you..."

"Mom, don't argue with this bastard, let me tell him the truth."

Compared to the so-called father, Sanji wants to prove that what his mother said is right, and the method he chooses is very direct. Since Judge believes that the external force brought by the combat suit is everything, then he will destroy the things that Judge relies on.

"I still have to go find that bastard Green Algae Head. I don't have time to waste with you. Let's end this quickly. Devil Wind Leg·Beef Shank Strike!"

Thanks to the training in Kamapaka Kingdom, Sanji no longer relies on rotation when performing the Devil Wind Kick. In two steps, his right foot turned red and immediately broke through Judge's defense from the front.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I have things to do and can't chat with you anymore."

"It's okay, Sanji. Living friends are far more important than the dead. Go find him."

......

"What the hell, what kind of place is this! Is everyone else lost? Why can't I see anyone?!"

While the Straw Hat Pirates were trying hard to find Zoro and encountering many incidents in the process, Zoro was carrying out his own mission of getting lost.

The occasional fog made it difficult for him to see the road clearly. If one only looked at the number of steps, he had already completed a migration, but if one looked at the distance traveled, he was almost stationary.

From beginning to end, he had been just going around in circles.

But it was not without results. At least as he became more and more lost, he finally saw something different.

"Pirate Hunter...Die, you bastard!"

A ghost rushed towards Zoro. There were not only relatives and friends in the underworld, but also enemies. Those enemies who were full of resentment after being killed might also come to him. The one in front of Zoro was an example.

After he left Shimotsuki Village, he got lost and could not find his way back, so he started working as a pirate hunter to make a living. The ghost in front of him was one of them. Zoro couldn't even remember this person's name.

But even if he forgets the name, he will directly fight back when facing an opponent who attacks him.

"Ichidao Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubled Phoenixes!"

A sword energy was swung out, shattering the ghost into pieces in mid-air, but in less than a few seconds, the ghost returned to its original form and swung at Zoro.

"what?!"

Looking at the strange scar on his body, Zoro showed an expression of disbelief. He clearly swung his sword to block, but the sword in the opponent's hand passed through his blade like nothingness and left a strange scar on his body.

A strange phenomenon occurred where the wound froze directly, and when the ghost was about to continue attacking, he was stopped by another knife. A young figure inserted himself between the two of them and helped Zoro resolve the crisis.

"You're already an adult, why are you still like this?"

During the blocking, the ghost attacking Zoro was knocked down, and the person who looked like a little girl dealt with the enemy quickly and neatly.

"Kuina... So this is... Huangquan?"

The person who came was none other than Kuina, Zoro's childhood sweetheart who had defeated him 2001 times.

She was able to defeat adult men when she was still a child. She is a well-deserved genius. However, Koshiro believes that women cannot become top-level strongmen. If it were in another world, this sentence would have beaten Koshiro to death.

"You're quite smart. You figured it out right away. What happened to you? How did you get here alive? Did you get lost?"

"certainly not!"

Zoro's getting lost was not acquired, but innate. When he was in the dojo, he got lost inside the dojo.

He righteously rejected Kuina's questioning. He was able to recognize this place because of what he said at the beginning.

He wanted to make his name known in Huangquan, but he didn't expect that before his fame spread to Huangquan, he had already run here.

"After you died... I met a strange guy who said he was looking for the Land of the Underworld, so I have some impression of it.
