Be a ninja among pirates

Chapter 258 The reason why zombies are powerful

“......It is a resurrected person who has come back to life, that is, a resurrected person! ”Brook said.

Brooke worked her teeth again.

"It has the incredible ability to give people with abilities a second life!" ”Brook said.

When Luffy heard this, his eyes immediately glowed with gold.

“Resurrect people! ”Luffy said excitedly.

"Is it possible to make people come back to life once?" ”Frankie asked.

“Well! Yes! Ah, excuse me! ”Brook said.

Brooke burped.

"And I was a pirate just like you when I was alive!" ”Brook said.

“Are you a pirate too? ”Luffy asked excitedly.

“That's right! Ah, excuse me! ”Brook said.

Brooke farted.

"I really want to teach you what etiquette is!" ”Sanji said.

"Once upon a time, the ship you just saw and I, together with our companions, broke into this magical sea!"

But unfortunately, we met a powerful colleague! After the battle, our entire army was wiped out!

Of course I died too! When I was alive, the Underworld Fruit was just a thing that turned me into a landlubber.

But on that day, the power of the fruit finally activated, and my soul returned from the underworld to the living world.

If I return to my body immediately, I should be able to be resurrected! But as everyone can see, this magical sea is filled with thick fog, and I am lost!

Then he wandered in this thick fog for a year in the form of a soul. I finally discovered my body. But by then my body had turned into a pile of bones.

I was so scared that my eyes almost fell out, even though I had no eyes! Yo ho ho ho! ”Brook said.

"How stupid!" Almost like Zoro! Hahaha! ” Luffy said with a smile.

"No, I don't think he can go back in a year!" ”Gwensi said.

“I'm talking about you! ” Zoro said.

“So he became a talking skeleton? Even if you turn into a skeleton, you can be resurrected. This is the scary thing about Devil Fruit! ” Frankie said.

"But the fruit has completed its mission. Now you are just a landlubber!" This can also be regarded as a curse! ”Sanji said.

"But usually if you become a skeleton, you won't have hair." The skeleton actually has an afro! ” Zoro said.

Brooke touched his afro.

“My hair roots are very strong! ”Brook said.

“Whatever! ” Zoro said.

“So you are no longer a monster. So are you a human being? No, it can’t be considered a human being. Anyway, you are not a monster after all! ”The transformed Usopp said while pointing the cross at Brooke.

Brooke held her face in her hands.

“I am most afraid of monsters! If I saw a monster, I would burst into tears! ”Brook said.

Chopper held up the cross and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nami walked in front of Brooke.

"She also said she is most afraid of monsters..." Nami said.

Nami held a mirror up to Brooke.

“...Have you ever looked in the mirror? ”Nami asked.

Brooke saw the mirror and immediately covered his face with his right hand.

“No! ! ”Brooke shouted.

Then Brooke kept waving his hands.

"Please don't take it, face the mirror at me!" ! ”Brooke shouted.

Chopper and the transformed Usopp arrived immediately and looked in front of the mirror.

Chopper lay on top of Brooke.

“What's wrong? ”The transformed Usopp asked.

Chopper and the transformed Usopp discovered that there was no Brook in the mirror.

“Hey, wait! ”The transformed Usopp said.

“You! ”Chopper said.

"Why can't I see you in the mirror?" ”Chopper and the transformed Usopp shouted.

“Ahhh! ! "Brook, the timid duo and the transformed Usopp shouted.

Nami hid behind the table in the restaurant of the Wanli Sunshine.

Chopper and the transformed Usopp immediately pointed the cross at Brooke.

"A vampire?" ”The transformed Usopp asked while pointing the cross at Brooke.

Zoro also put his hand on the handle of Wado Ichimonji's sword.

Sanji and Franky also entered a fighting state.

After Luffy heard this, his eyes widened and his mouth opened hugely.

“Really? Bravo! ”Luffy shouted excitedly.

The transformed Usopp suddenly discovered that Brooke had no shadow.

"Look carefully, you don't even have a shadow!" ”The transformed Usopp shouted while pointing the cross at Brooke.

After Chopper heard this, he immediately looked at Brook's feet and found that there was really no shadow.

“Ahhh! real! What are you? ”Chopper shouted while pointing the cross at Brooke.

Brooke sat back on the chair in front of the dining table in the Wanli Sunshine's dining room.

Brooke took a sip of black tea.

“Is it time to calm down? ” Sanji roared angrily.

"I, we were frightened because of you!" ”The transformed Usopp shouted while pointing the cross at Brooke.

“It’s hard to describe everything in one word! I have been drifting in this sea for too long. It's completely different for me to become a skeleton and to have no shadow. Breakdown next time! ”Brook said.

“Speak now! ” Sanji roared angrily.

"My shadow was taken away by a man a few years ago." ”Brook said.

“Taken away? ”The transformed Usopp asked while pointing the cross at Brooke.

"Since you can move and speak, nothing can surprise me now that things have happened!" But can such a thing really be possible? ” Zoro asked.

"Shadow Fruit!" ”Gwensi said.

"Sure enough, it's also a devil fruit!" ” Zoro said.

“You know? ”Brooke asked.

"Among the devil fruits I know, this is the only one that can take away other people's shadows." ”Gwensi said.

“That’s it! Once the shadow is taken away, it means that you can no longer live in a place with light. ”Brook said.

"But aren't you still alive?" ”Luffy asked.

“No! Once the sun hits me, I can't live anymore! Now in this thick foggy sea area, it is finally possible to avoid the sun! ”Brook said.

“What happens if you get hit by the sun? ”The transformed Usopp asked while pointing the cross at Brooke.

“Once exposed to direct sunlight, my body will turn into ashes! ”Brook said.

“Turn into ashes! ! ”Frankie and others said in shock.

“Yes! ”Brook said.

...

Brooke stood up from this huge spider web.

"As long as there are corpses, he can use shadows to create zombies."

What's even more troublesome is that the genius surgeon Hogback, who can assemble the corpses of living creatures into stronger ones, is his companion!

He sometimes used his medical skills to resurrect the corpses of legendary warriors found in various cemeteries.

And now, there are still a large number of puppets stored in the cold storage of his research room. ”Brook said.

“Dr. Hoggubak. I didn't expect that the famous doctor would actually work as a helper for pirates in a place like this after his disappearance. ”Robin said.

"So although zombies move with their bodies, it doesn't mean they are resurrected, right?" ”Frankie asked.

“That's right! Both character and fighting ability depend on the shadow's owner. The physical strength depends on the puppet's muscles.

Only by combining a powerful body with a powerful shadow can a more powerful zombie be created.

So what Moria wants most is the shadow of the prisoner with a bounty on his head. ”Brook said.

After Frankie heard this, he recalled the scene when he met the seriously injured man who lost his shadow, the scene when he picked up fake bottles during the day, and the scene where he saw the depressed ghost of Princess Mononoke on the Wanli Sunshine. scene at the time.

"I saw it just now. You guys are so terrifying!" Can you please listen to what I have to say? ”The man who lost his shadow asked while panting.

After the man who lost his shadow finished speaking, he raised the lamp in front of his face.

Luffy saw clearly the appearance of the man who had lost his shadow.

“The seriously injured old man! ”Luffy said.

"I told you it was a zombie!" ” Zoro, Sanji and Franky roared.

“No! I am a seriously injured old man! ”The man who lost his shadow said. .seven

After Zoro, Sanji and Franky heard this, their eyes widened in shock and their mouths opened hugely.

“Don't confuse people! It just needs to be a zombie, really! ” Zoro, Sanji and Franky roared.

Luffy walked in front of this person who had lost his shadow.

“Then what are you going to say? ”Luffy asked.

When the shadowless man heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground.

“I want you to go and beat someone. If you say it, it will definitely work! Although some people will sacrifice!

But as long as he is defeated, everyone will be saved! As long as I can find the shadow, I can pay you any amount! ”The man who lost his shadow said.

"Shadow!" ”Sanji said.

“What? Have you also been taken away? ”Frankie asked.

Luffy crouched down to the ground.

"Shadow!" ”Luffy said.

Luffy looked at the feet of the person who had lost his shadow and found that there was really no shadow.

“Really! There is no shadow of the uncle either! Just like Brooke! ”Luffy said.

“Who did this? Who is on this island? ” Zoro asked.

When the shadowless man heard this, he dug his hands into the ground.

Then the man who lost his shadow began to tremble all over his body.

"Molia!" It's a man named Moria! It's really terrible! ”The man who lost his shadow said.

"Molia!" Does it mean that Moonlight Moria? ”Robin asked.

“That's right! It's that Moria! ”The man who lost his shadow said.

Luffy stood up from the ground.

Luffy turned to look at Robin.

“Robin, do you know him? ”Luffy asked.

“The name is very familiar! His original bounty is higher than yours, Luffy! ”Robin said.

“Original, that is to say! ”Sanji said.

“That's right! Moonlight • Moria is a member of the King's Shichibukai! ”Gwensi said.

"Shichibukai!" ”Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and Franky said in shock.

“Really? ”Luffy asked.

“Well! Moonlight Moria is a man full of mysteries. ”Robin said.

"But what is a guy like that doing in a place like this?" ”Frankie asked.

“I don’t know either. But there are many people like me who have been robbed of their shadows and wander in this forest! ”The man who lost his shadow said.

“Is there anyone else? ” Zoro asked.
