Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Eagle Eye in the East China Sea.

There is a possible Shichibukai behind Arlong the Fishman, Jinbe the Knight of the Sea.

Crocodile in Alabasta.

He clashed with the so-called Doflamingo's men in Devil Town.

Now it's Moriah again.

If two more come, they'll all be connected.

Is he considered a Shichibukai assassin?

Sanji took a drag of his cigarette and calmly asked, "Doesn't the World Government know about this? Using Devil Fruit abilities to rob passing ships and causing a large number of people to go missing is a very serious crime, isn't it?"

Vivi said somewhat angrily, "The World Government definitely knows! But the Seven Warlords of the Sea have the legal right to plunder; that's a privilege granted to them by the World Government!"

The previous Shichibukai Crocodile was the mastermind behind the war in Alabasta, so she was filled with disgust for the Shichibukai system and those Shichibukai who abused their privileges.

"Then Luffy,"

Robin turned to the captain and asked, "What do we do next?"

Luffy grinned, his eyes burning with fighting spirit: "Since we can't leave this sea, and the Log Pose is pointing inwards, let's go and blast that troublemaker Moria away!"

Vivi immediately agreed: "I support it! Those who abuse their privileges and harm innocent people must not be let off the hook!"

She has redirected her anger towards Crocodile towards all the Shichibukai who behave similarly.

Thus, the Sunny Journey maintained its course and resolutely sailed into this foggy sea, a place rumored to be teeming with monsters and ghosts.

"Is the fog here formed naturally? I can't see anything at all."

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, and his figure at the stern was almost invisible.

Moreover, the fog was very thick, and my clothes were covered in fine mist after walking only a short distance.

Nami stayed close to Luffy, seemingly finding some sense of security in doing so. She couldn't help but ask, "Luffy, don't you need to train?"

Luffy grinned: "No need, the next two days are crew days."

Nami paused, a sudden sense of foreboding washing over her: "Partner Day? Are you planning to invite someone to join the crew again?"

Seeing Luffy nod, Nami was on the verge of tears, but this guy was the captain, and on a ship, the captain's orders were absolute.

"Just don't invite any weirdos onto the ship!"

For example, that golden lion from before, just thinking about it is terrifying!

Who knows who Luffy will fall for this time?

It can't be some weird or strange guy, can it?

Wait, is it some weirdo that Luffy would take a liking to?!

woohoo~

A gentle breeze stirred as Vivi manipulated the airflow, carefully sensing what lay ahead. She then nodded to Merry: "There are no large obstacles ahead for now."

Merry closed her eyes as well, extending her senses to the water beneath the boat. After a moment, she opened her eyes: "There are no reefs underwater either."

In this kind of weather, the visibility from the lookout tower is extremely poor. On the contrary, being at the bow of the ship, relying on Vivi's wind perception and Merry's water perception, can more effectively avoid risks.

And so, the Sunny Journey sailed cautiously through the thick fog for half a day.

The surroundings remained deathly silent, with only the sound of ships breaking through the sea and the occasional sound of unidentified water droplets.

Chapter 255 Brooke's eyes suddenly cleared

The sky gradually darkened, although in this thick fog, the difference between day and night was not significant.

These dense fogs also served as a natural barrier for Moonlight Moria, ensuring that those whose shadows he had stolen could not easily escape or be scorched to death by the sun. After all, the original owner of the shadow would die, and the zombie would also lose its power, which was a huge loss for Moria.

Just as darkness fell completely and everyone was preparing to take turns keeping watch overnight, Weiwei suddenly exclaimed in surprise. She manipulated the air currents and carefully scooped something up from the sea outside the ship's side.

It's a wooden barrel that looks quite old.

"what is this?"

Franky walked up to the bucket with a puzzled look and patted the lid.

The wooden barrel was well sealed, and a small flag with a few illegible words written on it was stuck on top.

【Poseidon Royal Treasure Front】

"What does it mean?"

"Is there treasure inside?" Usopp and Chopper temporarily forgot their fear and curiously gathered around.

Robin glanced at it and said casually, "This should be a drifting barrel, an ancient custom. People would put offerings into barrels, seal them, and offer them to the sea god to let them drift away, hoping for a smooth voyage."

Nami knew a little about it, "It should contain wine and some well-preserved food."

"What? It's a tribute."

Usopp and Chopper were immediately disappointed; they had thought it was a treasure map or some kind of treasure.

Zoro and Nika, those two drunkards, immediately perked up and came over.

“Since it’s wine, let’s drink it,” Zoro said matter-of-factly.

“Great minds think alike.” Nika licked his lips.

"Hey, you'll be punished by the heavens! This is an offering to the sea god!" Usopp quickly stopped them.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits," people in this world still hold a strong belief in ghosts and gods.

It seems that Usopp has already equipped all the zombie-proof weapons.

Garlic, glutinous rice, wooden swords, black dog blood, and the like.

We're about to encounter zombies; it would be bad if we also offended the gods.

It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!

Nami said, "Generally speaking, it's not wrong to take the things inside after praying."

Zoro scoffed dismissively: "I never pray to God."

Nika went even further, patting his flat chest: "I am God!"

Nami added, "It's said that wine that has been washed by the waves is especially fragrant."

Zoro and Nika's eyes lit up instantly.

Luffy grinned: "Sea God? Then we'll accept this treat!"

Zoro couldn't help but complain, "What sea god? I really don't know who sent the gods of Skypiea flying."

Just as Zoro reached out to open the barrel lid...

Bang!

With a soft pop, the wooden barrel lid suddenly sprang open, and an extremely dazzling flash of light burst forth from within, instantly illuminating the thick fog around them!

"Ouch, my eyes!"

"A flashbang?!"

The sudden burst of bright light blinded everyone, and they all gasped in surprise.

Robin was the first to adjust, his expression turning slightly grim: "This is bad, this might be some kind of signal, our location has been exposed!"

As if to confirm her words, a sound of old wood rubbing together suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog.

squeak~

squeak~

Despite the discomfort from the lingering visual impact, everyone looked up and followed the sound.

In the mist ahead of the Sunny Journey, a dilapidated old ship was silently and slowly emerging from the fog.

The mast was broken, the sails were worn out, and the hull was covered with damp mold and seabed parasites, as if it had just been salvaged from the seabed.

The sudden appearance of a dilapidated ship in such foggy waters is terrifying in itself.

grunt.

Nami had buried her head in Luffy's neck, not daring to open her eyes at all. At this moment, she didn't care about being shy!

"Could ghost ships really be haunted?"

As if to confirm her words, a series of songs came from the ship.

"Yohohoho~ Yohohoho~"

Everyone felt their hair stand on end and abruptly looked up at the source of the sound.

It's called the ghost ship, do you think it might be haunted?

"It's...it's here! It's a ghost ship!" Usopp and Chopper hugged each other, terrified.

Looking in the direction of the song, one can vaguely see a strange figure dressed in a formal suit and wearing a top hat appearing on the side of the ghost ship.

When it turned to face the Sunny, a collective gasp filled the deck.

That was a moving skeleton!

"Yohohoho!"

The skeletal gentleman gave an elegant bow, his jaw opening and closing to produce a unique laugh. "Good evening, my fellow living friends! How touching! Although I no longer have eyes to shed tears, yohohoho..."

"Luffy, go and take it down!"

Usopp held a garlic clove in one hand and a cross in the other, pointing them at the skull.

"Even if you say that, I can't move." Luffy was covered in accessories, but he had reason to suspect that Merry was just there to join in the fun. Nami didn't dare to look up at all, while Merry peeked out from behind him, watching with great interest.

"I'm so sorry, I haven't seen a living person in so long. I'm really sorry for being so rude. Let me introduce myself, I'm Brooke."

"The skull is talking!" Chopper screamed, clinging tightly to Sanji's leg, tears streaming down his face. "Go and chase the skull away!"
