One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Yang Ming didn't mind at all.

He was already quite satisfied with obtaining the corpses of Captain John and the great swordsman Ryuma, since the main course, Oz the Demon King, was still waiting for him.

The sounds of gunfire and the clash of weapons gradually subsided, until silence returned.

The ground was littered with corpses, while hundreds of navy personnel were unharmed and taking a short rest.

Yang Ming dismissed his attendants and, alone, carried Captain John and the corpses of the great swordsman Ryuma away from everyone's sight.

Just as Jewelry Bonney was about to sneak up on them, she was suddenly confronted by Tina, who stood in front of her with a blank expression.

"Old woman, what are you doing?"

“Princess Bonnie.” Tina glared at her irritably and said indifferently, “Please don’t wander around, so as to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.”

Everyone was already used to Yang Ming's mysterious behavior. Apart from Joelie Bonney, who wanted to explore Yang Ming's secrets but was stopped by Tina, no one else had any intention of investigating.

In this world, who doesn't have a few secrets?

Maintaining an appropriate distance between people is essential for preserving good relationships.

To this day, Joelle Bonney still doesn't understand why Yang Ming has been neglecting her and ignoring her. It's because she always wants to get to the bottom of things and tries to uncover all of Yang Ming's secrets.

Using his Observation Haki, Yang Ming scanned his surroundings and, seeing no one hiding, placed the corpses of Captain John and the great swordsman Ryuma on the ground. Multiple shadows appeared in his pupils, revealing the Rinnegan. He then implanted a black staff into the two corpses.

After some effort, the corpse, which had been dead for a long time, opened its eyes again, and a pair of Rinnegan eyes appeared in its pupils.

Yang Ming looked at the new members of the Dark Night Pirates with satisfaction and nodded:

"Enel, whose soul and spirit are trapped in the spiritual world by me, is filled with rage against me, so he represents fury."

"Captain John is inherently greedy and seized most of the Rocks Pirates' inheritance, which represents greed."

"The great swordsman Ryuma was competitive throughout his life. He once killed a dragon, which could be considered a sign of jealousy."

Chapter 171 This world is unreasonable.

As the night deepened, a thin veil of mist lingered deep within the forest. Zombie crows perched on branches, emitting unpleasant cawing that incessantly "caw caw caw." The gnarled trunks and towering branches of the ancient trees were shrouded in the mist, accompanied by howling winds. The drooping vines swayed gently, and a white figure could be vaguely seen flashing through the forest.

Yang Ming had already retrieved Captain John and the Great Swordsman Ryuma, the two Six Paths puppets. Fortunately, they were lifeless corpses, which could be put into his spatial ring, saving him the trouble of transportation and storage.

A cool breeze was blowing in the air. Ain glanced at the air out of the corner of her eye, seemingly wondering if she had seen wrong, and quickly rubbed her eyes.

After taking another few dozen steps forward, Ain confirmed that she was not mistaken.

Deep in the forest, a ghost exists!

Girls usually dislike things like insects and ghosts. This is not because girls are being dramatic, but because in the process of survival of the fittest over thousands of years, the fear of such things has been deeply imprinted in the genes of their bloodline, forming a kind of instinctive stress response. As soon as they see these things, they will feel scared, thus warning themselves that they need to run away immediately, otherwise they may die.

Goosebumps rose on her skin. Ain took a deep breath, and as the cool air filled her chest, she suddenly felt her hands and feet turn icy cold. Only with strong willpower did she overcome her instinctive fear and subconsciously move closer to Yang Ming.

Feeling something soft against his arm, Yang Ming turned around and looked back.

However, Ain's face was slightly pale, and her eyes were looking around anxiously.

She was holding Yang Ming's arm tightly with both hands, leaning almost half her weight on him. The faint fragrance of a young girl, similar to the scent of jasmine, lingered around her nose and smelled very pleasant.

"Senior...senior..."

Ainbe's teeth chattered as she said:

"Have you noticed that something's not quite right about this forest?"

Ain usually acts like an arrogant academic genius. She even dares to talk back to her idol, Yang Ming. Yang Ming has never seen her show a demure, submissive side. It's as if the sun has risen in the west.

Semi-transparent ghosts roamed the forest. These ghosts could freely move among solid objects and even hide among trees, undetected by ordinary people. They monitored the movements of Yang Ming and his group all the way. It would be impossible for Yang Ming not to have noticed them.

Yang Ming suddenly felt a playful urge, a slight smile playing on his lips. He leaned close to Ain's face and gently breathed into her pink ear:

"Something's definitely wrong with the forest, because it's inhabited by a lot of ghosts."

"Ghosts...do they really exist?"

A chill ran up from the soles of Ain's feet, up her spine and into her brain. She turned her head instinctively, but failed to notice that Yang Ming was standing right next to her. In the process of turning her head, their lips accidentally touched for a moment.

"Well!"

The moment Ai En's lips touched Yang Ming's, her mind went completely blank.

Surrounded by naval soldiers, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, Ain immediately pretended nothing had happened and kept her head down. Her face, which had been pale with fright, suddenly flushed red, her cheeks turning bright red all the way down to her neck. She looked like a boiled shrimp, almost steaming.

Between the sudden change in temperature, Ain's mind was still buzzing, and she couldn't hear what Yang Ming was saying beside her at all. Even walking felt like stepping on cotton candy, making her feel slightly unsteady.

"I...I actually kissed my senior???"

Ain cupped her face in her hands, her expression one of disbelief.

Seeing that Ain was engrossed in her own world and hadn't heard what he was saying, Yang Ming looked somewhat helpless.

Their interaction was brief and discreet, and no one around them noticed.

Only Joelle Bonney had been watching Yang Ming's every move. She discovered the little secret between the two of them earlier, and a wave of bitterness surged in her heart, like drinking lemonade under a lemon tree—it was incredibly sour!

"Why is Yang Ming ignoring me?!"

Joelle Bonney was so angry that her teeth itched, and she really wanted to pounce on Yang Ming and bite him. Now she could only futilely rage, and in her anger, she kicked a tree branch that was passing by.

As luck would have it, Perona was hiding in the canopy of this large tree.

Joni Bonney is a well-known superhuman, possessing astonishing strength. With one kick, she snapped the tree trunk in half. Perona, mistakenly believing she had exposed her hiding place, immediately opened her parasol and floated down gracefully.

"Is someone in the tree?"

Even Joelie Bonney was stunned.

She never expected that a person would be hiding in a tree she had casually kicked down.

The surrounding naval soldiers stopped in their tracks and immediately drew their weapons, aiming them at Perona. Their movements were perfectly synchronized, clearly indicating that they were well-trained elite soldiers.

The girl who appeared before everyone was in the prime of her youth. Her long pink hair was tied into twin ponytails, and she wore a princess crown. She was dressed in a pink Lolita dress, decorated with intricate patterns and pleats. Her slender legs, as thin as bamboo poles, were clad in black and white checkered fishnet stockings. She held a burgundy parasol in her hand, and her face was full of gloom.

Perona was incredibly frustrated. She was playing hide-and-seek with the group of sailors when this crazy woman, as if she had foreseen it, kicked her hiding place so hard it collapsed.

It makes me so angry just thinking about it!

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Perona simply laid her cards on the table.

One by one, the ghosts obeyed Perona's call, emerging from the hidden forest and swooping down on the group of naval soldiers.

"Hee hee hee."

A silvery laugh rang out as Perona, holding a burgundy parasol, floated in mid-air, covering her mouth with one hand as she laughed:

"Navy, have you ever experienced what it's like to be negative?"

Few paid attention to Perona's words. Many naval soldiers tried to block the ghost with their swords, and even when they fired guns, all physical attacks passed right through the ghost and could not cause any damage.

Perona is a Paramecia-type Ghost-Ghost Fruit user, who can separate a sentient ghost from her body. This ghost can not only fly freely in the air, but also pass through walls and change its size.

Because ghosts are spiritual entities, they cannot touch physical objects, and others cannot touch them either. Even those with Armament Haki cannot harm them.

As the phantom of negativity passed through Joelle Bonney's body, this fearless glutton suddenly felt a deep sense of inferiority and negativity. She knelt down, her hands on the ground, her face contorted in pain.

"I am a hateful woman, nobody likes me, I am useless."

It wasn't just Joelle Bonney who suffered; everyone else reacted differently after being attacked by the negative spirit.

As the negative phantom was about to touch Yang Ming, Perona's lips curled up slightly.

She could almost foresee Yang Ming kneeling before her, weeping bitterly.

The moment the phantom of negativity passed through Yang Ming's body, an indescribable wave of negative emotions and inferiority surged into his mind.

"Purify!"

The next moment, Yang Ming felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and all his negative emotions vanished completely.

Perona was astonished to see that Yang Ming was completely unaffected by the negative influences.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you completely unharmed?"

Seeing that Perona was going to continue her antics, Yang Ming had no intention of getting entangled with her any further.

"shave!"

After years of training and increased physical strength, Yang Ming has reached the level of running 100 meters in two seconds. His speed is astonishing. With Perona's eyesight, she could only see a black shadow rushing forward. Then she felt a punch to her abdomen. Her slender waist trembled violently, and her entire back arched high.

Perona was sent flying backward, her back slamming heavily against the tree trunk, her body going limp and slumped down.

She felt a churning in her stomach and immediately began to gag.

If it weren't for the fact that Perona wasn't on the wanted list and hadn't done anything wrong since joining Gecko Moria's forces, Yang Ming wouldn't have shown her mercy.

But letting Perona go like this is not Yang Ming's style.

At Yang Ming's command, Tina immediately put the sea stone on Perona's head and ordered Xiu En, who had been promoted to captain, to keep a close eye on her.

"hateful!"

Perona pouted, her heart filled with resentment.

"Doesn't this guy know what it means to cherish and pity a beautiful woman?"

"I curse you to never get married! Humph!"

Passing through this gloomy forest, an ancient castle stands atop the hill ahead, constructed entirely of granite and surrounded by walls. Several jet-black bats flutter atop the tall, pointed tower, which, if not carefully examined, might be mistaken for real creatures. In reality, however, they are shadow creatures created by Gecko Moria using his Devil Fruit powers.

Gecko Moria seemed to already know that his subordinates Absalom and Perona had failed one after another, and finally understood that this navy was coming for him, clearly indicating that they had ill intentions and that good intentions did not come.

"navy."

Moonlight Moria stood on the fortress balcony, his cold gaze fixed on Yang Ming, and said in a chilling voice:

"I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, personally appointed by the World Government. The World Government has explicitly prohibited the Navy from attacking any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you think your Navy intends to defy the World Government's orders?"

"The Devil's Triangle is shrouded in mist year-round, and its geomagnetic field is chaotic, so the outside world has no way of knowing what happens here." Yang Ming paused, smiling as he looked at Moonlight Moria. "Do you think if you died here, would anyone outside know that we were the ones who did it?"

These words immediately enraged Gecko Moria.

"Are all people in your navy as unreasonable as you?"

"This world is unreasonable." Yang Ming rolled his eyes. "I'm strong, so I'm right."

"What the hell..."

Upon hearing this, Gecko Moria's face darkened.
