I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

After Zoro killed the zombies, he saw the castle right in front of him, so he discussed with the three of them and decided to explore the castle. If Luffy and the others went to the island, they would definitely come to this castle.

Chopper agreed because he wanted to meet the legendary doctor - Hogbuk!

Nami and Usopp also felt that it was not safe to be in this strange forest late at night, so the four of them agreed and headed towards the castle.

"Excuse me, is this Dr. Hobak's residence? Open the door! We are seamen... no, crew members!!" Chopper stood outside the gate and knocked cautiously.

But no one responded for a long time, and then Chopper gently pushed with his little hand.

Crunch! !

The gate of the castle seemed to be unlocked and slowly opened.

The four of them looked inside and saw a long tunnel leading directly to the yard.

After a brief discussion, the four of them entered the castle. There was a light in the long and narrow tunnel. When they got closer, they saw that it was an ancient well. The weak trio went forward to investigate.

Suddenly, a pale woman with scars all over her face stood up from the ancient well. She said expressionlessly: "Welcome!!"

"Waaaaaaahh ...

Then the woman started throwing plates at Usopp, "Get out of here! Those three over there can come in!"

Ding! Found the bindable goddess Victoria Xindori. Do you want to bind her?

Hmm? A zombie, too? ... Zoro hesitated for a moment. It was a zombie after all, but after looking at her face, which was still pretty after removing the scars, he decided, "Yes!"

Ding! Goddess No. 17, Victoria Xindori, has been successfully bound! Please start interacting with her as soon as possible!

It's not appropriate to ask directly... Forget it, wait for the fight to turn against each other later, the zombies seem to listen to this fat man...

Although she didn't know who this woman was, she only drove Usopp away. Nami was surprised: "Huh? Why?"

Even Zoro became curious. It didn't look like she was unwelcoming to men... Could it be because of her long nose?

"Crench!"

A door beside the ancient well opened, and a sharp voice came from inside: "Alright! Wait a minute! It's okay to make an exception for him, Xin Duoli."

Then, a fat, long-nosed man wearing a fishnet top and sunglasses appeared in front of the four people. "Sorry to scare you, but this girl once tested the sincerity of the wealthy man she was engaged to marry by smashing all his treasured plates. As a result, the engagement was cancelled, and that's why the maid Xin Duoli hates plates the most."

"Next up is me, who I haven't had time to introduce yet!! I'm the world-famous Doctor Hogback, known as a genius. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Welcome to my mansion."

Only those who are not geniuses know this, but this laugh is truly unique.

Then, Hogback welcomed the four people to the living room, where there were many portraits hanging on the wall. There were some cracks on the faces of the portraits. There was also a pig head specimen high on the wall, and the carpet was also a polar bear with cracks.

Hogback seemed warm and hospitable, so they started chatting. Nami told about how she accidentally came to this island and was besieged by zombies, while Hogback claimed that he was here to study these zombies in order to master the medical skills of resurrection.

This statement was met with great support from Chopper. He also successfully obtained his autograph, but when Chopper asked to visit his laboratory, he was brutally rejected: "Absolutely... You are not allowed to see my laboratory!!"

At this time, the maid Xin Duoli brought pudding without plates to entertain the four people, and said that hot water was ready for them to wash.

Zoro was fine, but Nami and the others were pretty dirty when they were pulled off the carriage by zombies.

……

There was a sound of splashing water coming from the bathroom of the mansion, and outside the bathroom were two men and a reindeer.

"I'm not interested in the naked bodies of human women..." Chopper said with a look of longing: "I really want to see Dr. Hogback's laboratory. Hey, Zoro, what's wrong with you?"

"Nami, really... You're not a child who's afraid of going to the bathroom at night, so why do you need us to protect you when you take a shower?" Usopp is also a very straight man: "If you're afraid, then don't take a shower. But speaking of which, Zoro, are you angry?"

Nami was so frustrated inside: "You guys have been touched by zombies, don't you feel disgusted? It's so dirty!"

"It will get dirty anyway!" Usopp didn't care.

"That's right!" Chopper echoed.

"We'll leave here soon!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Usopp pushed the door open violently.

boom!

A wooden basin flew out of the bathroom and knocked Usopp over.

"It's rare that someone is so kind as to let us stay overnight. You know how dangerous it is to go out in the middle of the night. We should stay here and wait for Luffy and the others to join us." Usopp argued.

"I don't want to go out either! The forest and the cemetery are so scary!" Chopper agreed.

"It's the same outside and inside." Zoro came to his senses and grinned.

"Eh? Did Zoro notice that too?"

"Hmm... this house is full of zombies..."

"Ah—where are you!" Usopp and Chopper were horrified: "Wow! Zoro, what are you doing!?"

At this time, Zoro had gently drawn the three swords from his waist and pointed them at a certain spot on the bathroom wall: "Here! Three Swords Style: Hundred Eight Troubled Phoenix!"

Clang!

"what!"

With the sound of a knife, a hole was cut in the bathroom wall by three knife energies. Then, a man's scream was heard in the bathroom!

Nami in the bathroom was horrified. She covered her chest with her hands and looked up. A man with a lion's mouth was lying motionless on the ground. There were rocket launchers tied to his hands. A stream of blood was gushing out from his chest and soon covered the bathroom floor.

"When!?" Nami panicked at first, then her tone changed and she called out: "Zoro~"

"Ok!"

You should thank me this time.

"Can you come in and help me drag him out?"

Is there such a good thing?

Of course, he actively pushed Usopp and Chopper aside. He pushed the door open and saw Nami showering obliviously. She turned and smiled at Zoro, "When did you find him in there?"

"Ah! This... I just realized it when you were talking!"

"is it?"

"Yes!"

"It's the observation Haki you mentioned, right?"

"Um……"

"Does it look good?"

"Hmm... looks good..."

"Ten million Baileys for one look!"

"Uh... it doesn't look good..."

state!

"Drag him and get away from me!!!" Nami turned into a fishman's mouth.

Ding! You used your Observation Haki to peek at girlfriend number 3 while she was showering, but got caught red-handed. You still received her reward: +1000 Love Points.

Listening to the system's prompt, Sauron, with a big bump on his head, dragged Tiger Head away from the crime scene with satisfaction.
