One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 141 Zombies and Scientists
Devil's Triangle
This is the first half of the Grand Line, an area shrouded in black fog all year round.

This place is close to the Red Earth Continent and is the only way for all routes in the first half of the Grand Line. Hundreds of ships disappear here every year, and when they are found again, only one empty ship is left, so there has always been the legend of a ghost ship.

In fact, this is the sphere of influence of Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The world's largest pirate ship owned by him, the Thriller Bark, is located in this area shrouded in black fog.

And those ships that lost their crews were also Moria's masterpieces.

The other party possesses the [Shadow-Shadow Fruit], which can cut off other people's shadows and stuff them into corpses to create a zombie army. However, the person whose shadow is cut off will turn into ashes in an instant if exposed to the sun.

Therefore, Moria took advantage of the black fog in this area and stationed here all year round, harvesting the shadows of the crew members on the passing ships to form his own zombie army.

Those who lost their shadows could only wander around the terrifying brig like ghosts, and dared not leave this area shrouded in black fog all year round.

Bo~~
With a few slight sounds, several huge bear paw-shaped marks appeared on the ground, and then five figures walked out.

"My body is almost numb!"

Nia moved her body.

After flying in the air for two days without being able to move, she felt her muscles were almost stiff.

Besides, I'm hungry!

"Is there anything to eat?"

“It doesn’t look like there’s any good food here.”

Robin looked around. The place was filled with a gloomy atmosphere and looked very suspicious.

"Even if there is food, it would probably be human bone soup or something like that."

"Don't say such scary things in a serious manner."

Gray couldn't help but tremble.

Although he felt that he was now capable of fighting, his timid character was not so easy to change.

"Go visit the owner here."

Rhodes released his Observation Haki and soon sensed several auras in the middle of the island.

Although his spirit has been broken by Kaido and he has been isolated for more than ten years, Moria still has some foundation. Judging from his aura, he is not weak.

"We are all Shichibukai, so it would be nice to get to know each other."

"Get to know each other? You want to steal someone's things, right?"

Nia remembered Rhodes's bad taste and couldn't help but complain.

This place looked extremely poor, and there didn't seem to be anything valuable here. The 'New Year's gift' Rhodes wanted would probably have to be snatched from Moonlight Moriah.

"Don't say such harsh words!"

Rhodes refuted Nia seriously.

"As a fellow Shichibukai, isn't it normal for you to give me a gift to congratulate me for joining?"

"No one knows you, okay?"

“So we have to go visit first!”

Rod argued convincingly.

"We got to know each other after the visit, so it's only reasonable for him to give me a gift to celebrate his friend becoming a Shichibukai."

"You really know how to mess around."

While insulting each other, Rhodes and his group walked towards the center of the island.

Even from a long distance, they could clearly see the tall mast standing in the middle of the island.

The mast looked like a tower standing in the middle of the island.

···
"It seems like something flew over."

Not far from the terrifying three-masted sailboat, on a tattered pirate ship, a figure suddenly raised his head.

The moonlight shone through the thick clouds on his body, revealing his head which was only a skull.

"Could it be that···"

The skeleton suddenly thought of something, and his body, which was originally lying on the side of the boat, suddenly straightened up.

His shadow was also taken away from him, and he was trapped in this sea area that was shrouded in black fog all year round, and he dared not leave.

If someone else came to the island and a fight broke out, maybe he could take advantage of the chaos to get his shadow back.

"Go and see!"

The skeleton jumped directly from the boat, swung his legs quickly, and actually ran directly on the sea.

···
"Are guests coming?"

In the middle of the terrifying barque, in a castle.

A strange-looking man suddenly raised his head.

His face was covered in stitches and had a lion-like mouth and nose.

"Lord Absalom, I heard from the zombies on the island that an unknown person has landed on the island!"

A grotesque zombie ran into the room and spoke to the man with the lion face.

The lion-faced man is none other than Gekko Moriah's subordinate, one of the three monsters and the user of the Transparent Fruit, Absalom.

"Unknown person?"

A ferocious look appeared on Absalom's face.

"Get all the zombie generals ready for me!"

"How dare you step into our territory!"

"I'm going to kill them all!"

"I heard there were two very beautiful women in that group."

The zombie that rushed in continued to speak.

"Beauty!?"

The ferocity on Absalom's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a pig-like look.

"Where are they? Take me there quickly!"

Absalom, a subordinate of Moriah, is an out-and-out perverted nymphomaniac.

Especially since he has a very convenient ability - the Transparent Fruit! It allows him to peek without restraint. "Is there anyone?"

In another castle, a girl with pink twin ponytails blinked her big eyes.

"Hehehehe~~"

A strange laugh came out of her mouth and the girl's body floated up.

"It's been a while since I've seen new people. Let me, Lady Perona, have some fun with them."

Perona flew in the direction pointed by the zombie, feeling a little bit of anticipation in her heart.

She was picked up by Moria when she was little and raised until now, and she has almost always been on this terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

Although she herself likes the environment here, it would be more interesting if someone could bring her some rare fun!

Under her ghost, no matter who they are, they are no match for her!
However, it is also interesting to appreciate the ugliness of each other.

"Someone is here to welcome you."

Rhodes suddenly spoke while walking.

“Why can’t I feel it!”

Upon hearing this, Nia quickly released her own Observation Haki, but her Observation Haki, which had just been awakened, did not detect any trace of anyone.

"So you still need to practice!"

"So cute! ! "

Not far away, Absalom, who was in invisible state, looked at Rhodes and his group over there, his eyes fixed on Nia and Robin. His nostrils opened unconsciously, releasing streams of air, and his face turned red.

If I could marry these two girls...

After just a little enjoyment, Absalom felt his nose was about to bleed.

Swah——

Nia's body suddenly disappeared from Absalom's sight, and the next moment she appeared not far from him and kicked the ground hard.

boom! ! !
With a loud bang, a huge hole appeared on the ground.

Nia looked around slightly puzzled.

"Strange, I clearly feel a sense of malice emanating from this side."

Although she couldn't see Absalom who was in invisible state, and couldn't detect his presence with her observation Haki, Nia's sixth sense still made her keenly aware of the abnormality here.

Although the exact location is slightly different.

"I don't want this woman! ! "

A drop of cold sweat ran down Absalom's forehead.

He only likes gentle women, and definitely not strong and fierce women like this one.

However, this group of guys seems to be quite powerful, and it may not be enough for me to deal with them alone.

Thinking of this, Absalom remained calm and took two steps back.

We need those zombie generals to be dispatched.

"It's quite amazing, the transparent fruit!"

Although he was unable to sense the other party's presence with his Observation Haki, Nia's actions still made Rhodes instantly think of something.

On this terrifying triangular sailboat, there is a user with the ability of the transparent fruit. Although he is a pervert, a voyeur, and his strength is average, the ability of the transparent fruit is quite extraordinary.

At least with Rhodes's observation Haki, he was unable to capture the opponent's specific location.

I could just sense a vague malice.

"anyone there?"

Gray looked around warily.

"Maybe."

Nia walked back to Rhodes' side and followed them as they continued to walk towards the castle in the center.

Snapped! !

A pale arm stretched out from the ground and grabbed Gray's ankle.

Gray stopped moving instantly, his head slowly lowered, and his eyes met with a pair of zombies that crawled out from the ground.

"There's a ghost!!"

A scream broke out from Gray's mouth and his body jumped up instantly.

"Eh~~"

The zombie grabbed Gray's ankle tightly and was carried up by him. It seemed even more panicked than Gray.

"They are zombies, right? There are quite a lot of them."

With them as the center, pale arms broke out of the ground, and then staggering corpses that exuded a rotten smell turned around and looked at Rhodes and his group who were surrounded in the middle with sinister eyes.

Nia looked at the zombies emerging from the ground around her and rubbed her hands with anticipation.

puff-

Gray jumped up in fright and fell to the ground. The zombie still held his ankle tightly and fell directly on Gray.

"Is it a zombie?"

Gray pulled his head out of the ground and looked around at the corpses.

"This is the zombie army that Moria created with his own abilities."

Rhodes explained.

"It's just a corpse that has been given the ability to move again."

"interesting!"

Gray's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, pulled the zombie that was lying on him over, and pried open the zombie's limbs to examine it.

"From the feeling of its limbs, it is indeed just a corpse, but it can perform various actions like a living body, and can even communicate through speech. The devil fruit is indeed magical!"

After getting involved in the research that interested him, Gray was no longer frightened. Instead, the light that shone from his eyes made the zombies around him feel creepy.

This guy looks dangerous!
