One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 187 Landing on Ghost Island! The Severely Injured Old Man and the Unkillable Dead
It was cold and deathly still; even the sea breeze seemed to have stopped flowing here.
With a dull groan of mechanical gears meshing, Franky pulled the lever in the control room and lowered the drawbridge.
"Hehehehe! The great adventure begins!"
Luffy was the first to excitedly jump off the suspension bridge onto the shore.
Next came Zoro, Sanji, Robin, Franky, and Victor.
They also walked off the ship along the suspension bridge and stepped onto this land filled with the aura of death.
Before them stood a moat that emitted a nauseating stench.
The river water had an extremely strange dark green color, and there were even some unknown murky foam floating on it.
Beyond the moat lies a vast, menacing black forest.
The withered branches looked like pairs of ghostly hands reaching towards the sky for help.
Robin stopped, his deep, captivating eyes gazing silently at the dark, unfathomable river.
An elegant smile curved her lips:
"The river water is so murky, who knows how many dismembered corpses are buried at the bottom."
"Maybe as we walk past, a water ghost will suddenly stretch out its pale hand from the mud and grab our ankles tightly."
"..."
Upon hearing these words, Franky, who was walking in front, shivered noticeably.
"Hey, Robin!"
Franky turned around, exasperated, and complained.
"Even though I'm a super tough guy, please don't use such a gentle tone to say such terrifying things!"
Sanji, on the other hand, is a completely different story.
His eyes instantly turned into two beating red hearts, and he writhed like a noodle as he moved closer:
Ah~~ Robin-chan!
Even when telling such eerie ghost stories, Robin-chan's intellectual demeanor remains captivating!
Viktor rubbed his temples in exasperation and led the way into the gloomy, withered forest.
The group hadn't gone far into the Black Forest when the dry branches under their feet made a crisp "crackling" sound.
suddenly!
"roar----!!!!"
A deafening roar of a wild beast suddenly erupted from the bushes ahead!
A monster the size of a small mountain of flesh suddenly leaped out of the forest and crashed heavily in front of the group, blocking their path.
That was none other than a legendary hellhound.
Its body was covered with messy gray-black fur, and its three gaping maws were dripping with highly corrosive saliva.
However, upon closer inspection, people noticed a strangely incongruous sense of absurdity.
The leftmost head of this hellhound is not only smaller than the other two, but also...
Moreover, its fur was reddish, and it had a pair of pointed ears... It was actually the head of a fox.
"Hellhound?"
Zoro looked at the deformed behemoth before him, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Looks like in this boring, godforsaken place, there's finally something fun to do to stretch my legs."
On the other side, Sanji also took a deep drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled a cloud of smoke.
He took a half-step back with his right foot, his leg muscles tensing instantly, ready to kick.
Just as the Straw Hat crew's two main fighters were about to make their move and tear the giant beast to pieces.
"etc!!!"
Luffy shouted excitedly, bypassing Zoro and Sanji, and charged towards the terrifying hellhound without hesitation:
"What a cool dog!!!"
"I want to be like Usopp! I want to take it as my mount!!!"
Faced with this "little treat" that was delivered to their door.
The hellhound let out an angry growl from its three large mouths at the same time and lunged fiercely at Luffy!
However, Luffy advanced instead of retreating.
He didn't even try to dodge the stench that was rushing towards him.
"Rubber rubber—gun!!!"
It was accompanied by an extremely dull, loud bang.
Luffy's fist, imbued with terrifying strength, struck the nose of the most arrogant dog head in the very center of Cerberus with extreme precision.
"Whoa—!!!"
The hellhound, which had been so ferocious just moments before, was sent tumbling halfway through the air by this punch.
The head in the middle suddenly saw stars, and was in so much pain that tears streamed down its face and blood flowed from its nose.
The enormous creature immediately resembled an extremely well-behaved domestic puppy.
Its limbs were on the ground, belly pressed against the ground, and it stuck out its tongue ingratiatingly, letting Luffy jump onto its back with great excitement.
"..."
Watching this utterly absurd moment of taming.
Everyone rolled their eyes in perfect unison and burst into laughter.
And so it happened in this gloomy and terrifying foreign land.
The group followed Luffy, who was riding on the back of a giant hellhound, through the withered forest and arrived at an extremely vast cross-shaped cemetery.
Looking out, hundreds and thousands of broken cross tombstones are faintly visible in the mist.
Suddenly, the deathly silence was broken by an extremely faint sound of loosening soil.
Right next to the hellhound Luffy was riding, in a cemetery, the hard soil began to churn outwards.
"Snapped!"
A pale, decaying hand violently rose from the ground and gripped the edge of the tombstone tightly.
Then, amidst extremely eerie low growls and groans.
A zombie with a face covered in rough stitches crawled stiffly out of the grave.
Something's up!
Everyone tensed up instantly, preparing to fight the evil spirit that had crawled out of hell.
however.
As the captain of his ship, Luffy's thought process is always so unique.
He looked at the extremely terrifying zombie, but his face showed no surprise or fear whatsoever.
He walked step by step toward the zombie that was still baring its teeth and growling.
Under the utterly incredulous gazes of everyone.
Luffy stretched out his hands and pressed down hard on the zombie's shoulders, one on each side.
then.
He used all his strength to... stuff the zombie back into the dark tomb, intact.
"Huh?!" The zombie didn't even have time to react.
It was forcibly pressed back into the ground by this strange force, leaving behind only a series of extremely puzzled low growls.
After doing all this, Luffy even thoughtfully stomped the soil around the grave down with his feet.
He dusted off his hands, turned around, and laughed loudly as he said:
"Don't be afraid, everyone. That was just an old man who was seriously injured."
"He was so badly injured that he could barely walk, so I helped him back to rest."
next second!
Countless veins bulged on the foreheads of Zoro, Sanji, and Franky.
They roared at Luffy with extreme rage:
"Are you blind?! What old man?! That's clearly a zombie that crawled out of its grave!!!!"
"What the hell is going on in your head?! Have you ever seen a seriously injured old man crawl out of the cemetery soil?!"
"Are you a demon?! Are you a pervert?!!!!"
Just as the Straw Hat crew was loudly and joyfully complaining to each other.
Luffy's extremely "polite" behavior seemed to have thoroughly enraged the spirits in the cemetery.
"Ughh ...
The entire cemetery instantly erupted in excitement!
Hundreds and thousands of bizarre zombies, like a tidal wave, burst forth from the ground with extremely mournful roars!
In just a few seconds, they had completely surrounded the Straw Hat crew.
"Tch, since I've come back to life, I might as well die again!"
Zoro's eyes turned cold, he drew his twin swords, and bit down on Wado Ichimonji.
His arm muscles bulged, and his body spun rapidly like a top.
"Three-Sword Style: Tornado!!!"
A terrifying tornado composed of extremely sharp sword energy rose from the ground.
Like a roaring sword dragon, it instantly engulfed the dozen or so zombies at the forefront, slicing them into countless extremely fine pieces!
"Tch, this is so boring."
Zoro shook the dirt off his blade and frowned.
"It feels like chopping up a pile of moldy, rotten wood."
"Hey! You bunch of bastards who reek of utter disgusting rottenness!"
Sanji tumbled rapidly in mid-air, his right leg sweeping out with tremendous force, like a black lightning bolt.
"First meat kick!!!"
With feet moving like the wind, he violently kicked a group of zombie heads away, as if kicking a soccer ball.
"Want to bully the few with the many? Then witness the power of my scientific prowess!"
Franky laughed arrogantly, and the mechanical structure of his right arm instantly deformed, his iron fist blasting out like a heavy cannon.
"Super—!"
"Take this powerful right hand strike!!!"
In the center of the crowd, Robin maintained an extremely elegant posture.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Thirty-round Flower - Suspended!!!"
Countless pale arms, like blooming cherry blossoms, suddenly appeared on the bodies of the horde of zombies that pounced on them.
Those arms were tightly strangling the zombie's neck, accompanied by a very crisp sound of bones breaking.
In an instant, he snapped the necks of an entire row of zombies, causing them to fall to the ground in extremely contorted positions.
The Straw Hat crew's fighting power was terrifying; they cleared a large area of land in an instant, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
however.
Before everyone could catch their breath, a scene that shocked them all unfolded!
Under the eerie green phosphorescent light of the cross cemetery, the "corpses" lying on the ground actually came to life again!
Then.
This terrifying army of undead let out another chilling roar.
As if they hadn't been hurt at all, they continued to rush towards the crowd one after another!
"Are you kidding me...?"
Zoro frowned as he looked at the scene that defied all logic.
"These guys... not only are they impossible to kill, but they're cut up like that and not a single drop of blood comes out?!"
Just as everyone was getting extremely annoyed by the army of zombies that were impossible to kill or hurt, and was about to be plunged into a fierce battle.
Viktor has yet to make a move.
His black eyes instantly turned into an eerie crimson.
Under the Sharingan's perspective, these corpses were indeed completely dead.
There was no blood flowing with any life, nor any signs of physiological function.
but.
Within each rotting corpse resides a black energy body emitting eerie fluctuations.
Those were clumps of "shadows" forcibly stuffed into the corpses!
They extended countless black energy threads, like marionettes, perfectly controlling the actions of the dead!
He suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly at the crowd still struggling in front of him:
"Zoro! Sanji! Franky!"
"These things are just empty shells, manipulated by others!"
"They don't have souls inside them; instead, someone else's 'shadow' has been forcibly inserted into them as their power source!"
"Unless those shadows are destroyed or removed, simple physical attacks are completely ineffective against them!"
"Don't waste your energy!"
