One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha

Chapter 188 Despair in the Sea of ​​Fire! The Surgeon's Lies

After hearing Viktor's words.

The Straw Hat crew finally gave up on continuing their pointless entanglement with the zombie army.

The group fought and retreated, quickly fleeing the cross-shaped cemetery filled with the stench of decay and phosphorescence.

After passing through a desolate forest shrouded in thick fog, a massive and eerie Gothic castle suddenly appeared before them.

"SUPER—!!!"

Franky tilted his head back, peering at the magnificent castle through his sunglasses, and let out a sigh of admiration:

"The load-bearing structure and the carvings on the exterior walls of this building are simply impeccable masterpieces!"

However…” Franky sniffed.

"Why does this place have such a strange smell?"

Robin stood aside

A graceful smile played on her lips as she added in a gentle tone:

"Perhaps... this castle was built on the foundation of countless human bones, and then its walls were painted layer by layer with fresh blood?"

"Those scratches on the door might have been left by someone who was buried alive inside the wall."

"Big Sister Robin! Please stop!!" Franky shuddered.

"Bang!!!"

A deafening roar abruptly shattered the eerie atmosphere.

Luffy showed absolutely no awareness of being a guest, nor did he have the courtesy of knocking.

He simply raised his foot and rudely kicked open the two heavy oak doors, each weighing several tons.

"Excuse me!!!"

Luffy swaggered in:

"Is anyone home?! We need to find someone!!!"

Two figures suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.

One of the men was overweight and round, and looked like a standing penguin.

He had an odd pointed hairstyle and wore a black coat that looked like a fishing net.

One of the "Three Eccentrics" of the horror ship, Hogback, is a genius surgeon.

Beside him, a woman with an expressionless face and a good figure followed quietly.

But the blonde maid, Victoria Cindy, has obvious, rough stitches all over her face and body.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss..."

Hogback let out a shrill, leaky laugh.

He was just about to put on the airs of a high-and-mighty castle owner and pretend to "welcome" the group of pirates.

"Smack!!!"

The maid Cindy, standing next to him, remained expressionless.

He picked up a white porcelain plate he was holding and smashed it precisely onto Hogback's fat face!

"Waaaaah!!"

Hogback's nose bled profusely from the blow, and he angrily covered his face and roared.

"What are you doing?! Cindry-chan!!!"

Cindy maintained her expressionless, emotionless face.

"I just can't stand seeing your face."

"It would be best if plates and all those things just disappeared from this world."

Seeing this unusual scene.

He slid towards Cindy like a noodle:

"Ah~~ This maid with a melancholy air!"

Even the way he coldly smashes the plate is so captivating! It completely stole my heart!

"Bang!"

Before Sanji could even get close...

Zoro delivered a merciless punch to Sanji's head.

"Are you an idiot, you lecherous cook?! Are you blind?!"

"Her body was covered in stitches, and she didn't smell of life at all. She was clearly a creepy zombie!!!"

Luffy, holding his straw hat, approached Hogback, who was still covering his nose.

"Hey! Uncle Penguin!!"

"Did you see our navigator, the long-nosed dog, the reindeer, the crow, and the little dog that spits out bombs?!"

"They landed on the island before us, they must have been here!"

Upon hearing Luffy's question, Hogback's small eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, darted around slyly.

As Moria's right-hand man.

He certainly couldn't allow these dangerous pirates to disrupt Lord Moria's crucial plan.

"Hiss hiss hiss... What is this pirate guy saying?"

"There is no living person in this castle except for me, a genius doctor who loves medicine."

"Since you have come from afar, why don't you go to the guest rooms and have a cup of hot tea to rest?"

Just as Hogback's face was beaming with smiles.

"Whoosh!"

Hogback only felt a blur before his eyes.

Viktor had appeared silently behind him without him even noticing.

A knife was pressed tightly against Hogback's fat neck.

"Stop your clumsy lies, you quack."

Viktor said with a smile:

"All the disgusting zombies on this island are your 'masterpiece', aren't they?"

"You're in charge of stitching the corpse up with that shoddy technique, and then Moria is in charge of stuffing the stolen shadow inside."

Am I right?

Upon hearing the name "Moria," Hogback's obese body trembled violently.

"How...how do you know Lord Moria's name?!"

Hogback screamed in despair.

"Guards!! Help me!!!" Hogback cried out desperately.

As he cried for help, a flurry of footsteps echoed through the dark corridors surrounding the castle hall.

"Ughh ...

A large number of "terrified zombies" emerged from the picture frames on the wall.

And fully armed "soldier zombies" wielding various rusty weapons and wearing tattered armor.

They poured out wildly from all directions!

In just a few seconds, they completely surrounded the Straw Hat crew.

"Tch, here we go again!"

Zoro angrily bit down on Wado Ichimonji and swung his twin swords fiercely.

The dozen or so zombie soldiers at the forefront were brutally dismembered into countless pieces.

Sanji also leaped up in a fit of rage, his legs creating countless afterimages.

However, in narrow terrain, these zombies become particularly troublesome.

"hateful!!!"

Franky angrily blasted a zombie away with his "Powerful Right Hand," cursing through gritted teeth:

There are just too many of these disgusting guys!

"And they're practically indestructible; they're incredibly difficult to deal with in this narrow corridor!"

Looking at the corridor, which was crammed full of zombies and had almost no room to stand.

Viktor, who had been standing at the back, lost his smile and instantly turned cold.

"You can't kill him, huh?"

"Then... let it all turn to ashes, along with that filthy shadow."

Next second

Victor's hands moved rapidly across his chest.

"巳-未-申-亥-午-寅!"

Viktor took a deep breath, and his previously flat chest bulged dramatically high in that instant.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!!"

"boom--!!"

In an instant!

A scorching sea of ​​fire, like a tsunami, erupted wildly from Victor's mouth.

The raging flames instantly filled the entire long, dark corridor!

It swept forward furiously with a destructive force capable of burning everything in the world!

"Buzz—!!!"

The temperature in the corridor rose terrifyingly to an alarming level within microseconds.

The valuable oil paintings on the walls of the corridor were completely carbonized into black ash the moment they came into contact with the heat wave, without even a spark.

Even the sturdy load-bearing stone pillars emitted a mournful cracking sound under this terrifyingly high temperature.

"Roar roar roar roar roar!!!!"

Those zombie armies that claim to be "absolutely immortal".

Upon contact with this terrifying, desperate sea of ​​fire, they didn't even have time to let out a complete scream.

Their rotting flesh and hard bones were like fragile scraps of paper.

It was burned directly into black ash!

And those "shadows" that have lost their carriers.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, which were powerful enough to purify everything, it let out a mournful, silent scream.

They transformed into weak, dark shadows, fleeing in a sorry state towards the dim sky outside the corridor.

Just a few seconds later.

The corridor, which was originally crowded with terrifying zombies, is now eerily empty.

Only on the smooth ground was a thick, glaring layer of black ashes.

A gentle breeze blew in through the broken window, and the ashes drifted sadly in the wind before vanishing completely.

"thump."

Hogback, who had been standing at the edge of the hall, was trembling violently when he collapsed to his knees in despair on the scorching stone floor.

His eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, bulged out and were bloodshot with fear.

He was very proud of his "genius surgical suturing technique".

He believed that the "invincible, undead army" was enough to sweep away all enemies on the seas...

Before this bespectacled man's casual exhale of flame.

It couldn't even last a few seconds!

The entire army was utterly wiped out!

"monster……"

Hogback clutched his head in despair, muttering to himself in despair:

"These people...they're not pirates at all...they're a bunch of terrifying monsters!!!"

Victor walked up to Hogback.

Viktor looked down at the cowardly genius doctor.

The cold blade pressed against his throat again, the voice flat:

"Now."

"I'll ask you one last time, patiently."

"Where...is my partner?"

Faced with the deadly fear of death, Hogback's obese body trembled violently like a leaf.

In order to survive, his cunning mind raced at that moment:

"I...I know!! I know!!"

Hogback frantically pointed to a dark passage deep within the castle and shouted shrilly:

"I saw them run into that deep courtyard with my own eyes! I'll take you there! I'll lead the way myself!! Please don't kill me!!!"

They heard that their companions had been located.

Luffy nodded in satisfaction, touched his iconic straw hat, and shouted excitedly:

"You should have said so earlier, Uncle Penguin! Let's go!! Let's rescue Nami and the others!"

Hogback scrambled to his feet, stumbling and crawling, and humiliatingly led the way for the others.

however.

When he turned around with difficulty, his back to the Straw Hat crew.

A sinister, venomous sneer quickly appeared on his ugly, sweat-covered, fat face.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Hogback roared madly in his heart:

"Go! Go ahead and march forward in your ignorance, you damned monsters!"

"Since physical attacks can't kill you, then let's lure you fools into 'Lady Perona's' terrifying courtyard!"

"Before that terrifying woman, even the strongest physical attacks and the most terrifying flames are laughable and utterly useless!"

"Your shadows... Lord Moria, I'll accept them without hesitation! Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"
