Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

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,
"You guys! This is not how you use medical skills. This is just playing with life!"

He used to admire Hogbark so much.
Suddenly, the carriage shook. When the two Centaur zombies pulling the carriage heard the noise inside, they immediately stopped, untied the ropes on their bodies and ran away.

boom!boom!
"what!"

"Oops!"

Several people in the car fell all over the place. Hilton took the opportunity to jump out of the window, but Reiner ignored him.

The other party probably went to notify the alert. If I remember correctly, Longma was protecting Hobak, so it would be just right to save the trouble of looking for them one by one later.

"Is everything okay?"

Reiner put his arm around Nami's back and placed his palm against her forehead to protect her.

The shaking soon ended, and the plate on the table stopped steadily after shaking violently.

"Well, I'm fine. Where is this?" Nami breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her hands that were tightly grasping his clothes, turned around and peeked out through a small gap in the curtains.

Usopp and Chopper stood up dazedly and also looked outside, "Where are we?"

Due to the poor visibility caused by the fog all around, they could only vaguely see the small mounds of earth around them.

But from the cross-shaped outline inserted above, coupled with the eerie atmosphere here, several people instantly thought of something!
--cemetery!
"This, this, this can't be it"

Nami was shivering all over, and she couldn't help but feel terrified when she remembered the introduction she had just heard from Batman.

crunch~~
The carriage was opened, and Reiner walked out first with beige trouser legs and brown leather shoes falling to the ground.

"The sightline is too poor."

He looked around and saw a black iron fence behind him, which surrounded the entire wasteland. Weeds were growing here and there around the graves.

puff!
Suddenly, there was a noise under my feet.

"Ok?"

Reiner's eyes sank, and he saw a wrinkled and withered hand suddenly break out of the ground, with five fingers spread out and slightly bent, and no blood color could be seen on the skin.

Then the arm pressed on the ground, and the flat ground gradually bulged, with cracked pieces of soil rolling down.

"Roar!!"

A terrifying head suddenly emerged from it, opening its mouth and roaring.

The zombie's skinny face revealed a ferocious look, and it stared viciously at the blond man in front of it, as if trying to break free from the ground and struggle to get up.

Suddenly a pair of leather shoes caught the zombie's eyes and stepped on his face before he could pull his shoulders out of the ground!
"oops!!"

The powerful kick was like a mountain, and the zombies had no ability to resist at all.

The whole body was slammed back into the ground by a huge force.

"Roar!!"

The zombie roared angrily and got up again!
boom!
"It hurts! No, it doesn't hurt!" Bang! Bang!
Then he was kicked again and again, and the leather shoes left countless shoe prints on his face!

"oops!"

"Wait a moment."

"Let me out first, you bastard!!"

The zombie roared in anger, and finally received an impatient blow from the opponent.

boom! !

Card wipe!

A huge force hit the zombie's neck, breaking his bones instantly. His neck suddenly twisted, and his entire head tilted down, hanging there and swinging continuously.

"Eh?"

The scene in the zombie's field of vision became distorted and swaying, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes to look upwards.

The blond man in front of him was looking at him with interest, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up.

A chill instantly rose from his back and his whole body immediately shrank back into the ground.

"Private Marseille, sorry to bother you."

The zombie's voice was low and hoarse. He supported his shaking head with one hand and quickly pushed the surrounding dirt onto his head with the other hand.

Soon he buried himself.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
In the end, only one arm was left stretched out, which patted the ground, compacted the soil, and then immediately retracted.

Nami: "."

Chopper: “.”

Usopp: "."

huh~~
The three of them stood blankly beside the carriage. A cool breeze blew by, carrying a few fallen leaves past them.

Why, suddenly I feel that zombies are not scary after all.

puff!puff!
Puff! The next moment, countless hands or heads burst out of the ground one after another!

"Roar!!"

"Humanity!"

"Eat you!"

Roars continued to be heard one after another, and the entire cemetery was suddenly filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.

The zombies looked hideous and terrifying, all of them were covered with stitches and bandages, and their eyes were red and bloodshot.

In the blink of an eye, Reiner and his three companions were surrounded by zombies.

"So many zombies!!"

Now the timid trio really panicked, because these zombies looked too scary, and there were so many of them!

Usopp panicked and shouted to the person beside him: "Nami! Use thunder quickly, thunder and lightning can purify evil spirits!!"

Ok?
Reiner couldn't help but look over. What the hell was that?
"Is this true?" Nami screamed, gritting her teeth in doubt as she activated her ability, and blue arcs of electricity quickly flashed around her body.

Sizzle! ! !
The next moment, she raised her arm forward with her five fingers spread out, and her entire arm emitted a dazzling white light and turned into thunder.

Countless thunder balls condensed and then floated out, transformed into four limbs in the air and stuck to the ground, leaping towards the zombies at an extremely fast speed.

"White Thunder Civet!"

Stab! Stab!
Swish! Countless Thundercats appeared in the blink of an eye, immersing themselves in the bodies of zombies and emerging from behind them. They quickly shuttled through the group of zombies, and then turned into dots of blue light and gradually disappeared.

All the zombies that were pierced by lightning had charred skin on their bodies and stood still without moving.

Seeing this, Nami couldn't help but feel happy and was about to use her moves again.

"Roar!!"

"Useless!"

"Get 'em!"

The zombies that were originally standing there in a daze immediately rushed forward with roars, and their speed was jaw-dropping!

"Purification is bullshit!!"

boom!
Nami rolled her eyes and bared her teeth and screamed, then threw the weather stick in her hand at Usopp's face!

"It's not completely useless, it's just less powerful."

Reiner looked at the charred bodies of the zombies and couldn't help but say, "Increase your output and try Nami."

boom! !

After he finished speaking, he lifted up one leg and pulled it out. A zombie that had pounced on him instantly flew back at an even faster speed, landing in the crowd of zombies and causing a large number of them to fall.

"I'll try again." Nami's eyes flashed with determination.

She knew that Reiner wanted them to practice more, otherwise he could burn all the enemies like this with just a wave of his hand.

Nami's eyes darkened, and her body seemed to turn into thunder, her orange hair dancing, and a dazzling blue-white light filled her whole body.

Countless lightning bolts as thick as arms radiated out from her in all directions, like long whips violently jumping.

In the face of this violent energy, the ground couldn't help but splash out countless pieces of gravel.

"Sixty Million Volts, White Sunflower!"

A bolt of lightning like a long whip emitted a blinding light, and then all the lightning spread throughout the cemetery and exploded in no particular order.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

Looking down from mid-air, it seemed as if a blue and white flower bloomed, wrapping all the zombies.

Lightning penetrated the zombie's body, and violent energy crackled on its body. Its skin instantly turned black and then began to turn red.

Until the dazzling light gradually dissipated, the zombies' bodies were pierced with holes of varying sizes, with unextinguished embers still on the edges.

Purify?
Nothing.

But the thunder method can really break everything, Reiner laughed secretly in his heart.

"Okay. That's enough."

Nami gasped as her chest heaved. She quickly glanced around and saw that only a few enemies were still barely standing.

Zizi!

He picked up the weather stick, and lightning wrapped around it and condensed like liquid. The elemental body disappeared in the blink of an eye, and appeared in front of a zombie when it reappeared.

"drink!"

The long stick carrying high temperature chopped down horizontally, like a sharp long knife, instantly cutting the opponent in half.

The upper body of the zombie was split into two and fell to the ground, while the two legs of the lower body ran around in disbelief.

This must have been learned from Eneel. Seeing this, Reiner remembered the opponent's Thunder Metallurgy move.

Although Nami has seen it, knowing it doesn't mean she can do it.

The fact that she could use it so skillfully now showed that she had put in a lot of effort in practicing. After all, it had only been a short time since she left Sky Island.

Nami turned into a flash of lightning again and swept across the entire field in an instant, making all the zombies lose their combat effectiveness.

"call--!"

Tianhoubang supported Nami's body and took a few breaths before looking up at him.

"How about it, it's okay."

"More than that! You are so amazing!" Reiner exclaimed. He was familiar with this question and had learned to be smart.

"Idiot, this is too exaggerated." Seeing his expression, Nami couldn't help but laugh out loud, but she still enjoyed it.

"Too strong Nami!"

"Good job!"

Chopper Usopp flattered from the bottom of his heart.

Nami couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said with a smile, "Of course."

"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to show off my new weapons, otherwise you could give these to me." Usopp patted his chest and looked up.

"Let's go in."

Reiner smiled softly and walked towards the castle. At the same time, he looked up at the roof of the castle. "It seems that the other side has prepared a lot of strong people waiting for us."

Hearing this, Nami couldn't help but look up following his gaze.

I don't know when night fell.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the cold moonlight fell on her fair face.

Her clear eyes reflected the spire of the ancient castle under the crescent moon.

Several dark shadows were standing or squatting with their backs to the moonlight, their eyes fixed on them.

“Yohohohoho~~”

On the top of the tower, a figure stood straight with his arms folded across his chest. He was wearing a white kimono with blue patterns.

There was a long knife hanging from his waist, a blue scarf fluttering in the wind, and his voice was hoarse and deep.
"It looks like a strong opponent."

"No matter who it is, no one can escape my gun."

A cold voice was heard, and a figure with four arms and wearing a black top hat, two pistols hanging on both sides of his waist spoke lightly.

"Gulu gulu~~"

A man with a knife stuck in his body sat and lay down, silently tilting his head back to drink wine, the wine dripping from the corner of his mouth onto the ground.
