Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

A solid human-shaped ice sculpture stood motionless on the deck.

Around the ice sculpture, there were several stone statues standing, which looked like they were carved by skilled craftsmen and looked lifelike. They were several cadres under him, the wine tycoon Basque Qiaot, Catherine Depen, and Lafitte!

Of course, there is only one person in the world who has the ability to turn them into this state, and that is the frozen human-shaped statue, Boa Hancock!

"Damn Smoker! The strength of those Seraphim is really exaggerated, and Rayleigh..."

"Luckily you came with me, otherwise I would be in danger, thief hahahaha!"

The gloom on Blackbeard's face gradually dissipated, and he began to laugh, looking at the bored curly-haired figure sitting on the recliner.

"It's all thanks to you this time, Kuzan."

"Well~, on lazy days, you always have to find something to pass the time."

Kuzan said nonchalantly, lifting the eye mask and putting it on his forehead, then turned to look at Hancock who was completely frozen.

"This is troublesome. According to her, the petrification ability cannot be removed except by her, not even the next user."

"Given Hancock's personality, I'm afraid they'll have to spend their entire lives like this."

Kuzan sighed at the stone statues.

Having said that, Tiqi fell silent, and couldn't help but emit murderous intent in his eyes.

After being ridiculed by Kaido, he gave up his plan to go to Wano Country to seize those powerful fruit abilities.

He already had a grudge with the Straw Hat Pirates, and after some probing, Kaido's attitude towards him was not very friendly. Teach knew that if he went over rashly, he would probably be caught in a situation with wolves in front and tigers behind.

Coincidentally, at this time, he received the news that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system was abolished, and he immediately shifted his attention to these powerful combat forces.

If he could recruit one or two, his power would be greatly enhanced. Even if the other party refused, it didn't matter, he could still kill them and take away their abilities.

But Crocodile and his companions formed the Cross Guild, and it was too risky to touch this steel plate, so Teach first set his sights on the Nine Snake Island in the Calm Belt.

Originally, Teach was planning to let Aokiji and Van Oka sneak into the Kingdom of Wanguo and try to secretly kidnap Pudding, who has the blood of the Three-Eyed Tribe, but Pudding was taken away by the Straw Hat Pirates.

Because of this incident, Teach's resentment towards the Straw Hat Pirates deepened, but now it seems that this is a good thing.

If we act separately, the consequences would be unimaginable.

During the battle on Nine Snake Island, several of his men were petrified after just a few moves. He had to face Smoker with two Seraphs, as well as the siege of Pluto Rayleigh and Hancock alone. Not to mention successfully capturing Hancock, it was even uncertain whether he could leave Nine Snake Island alive.

He could use the Dark-Dark Fruit to defend against Hancock in a one-on-one fight, but it was almost impossible for him to fight so many people while guarding against the deadly petrification ability.

"Let's go back first and talk about it later. If it really doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do."

Tiqi glanced at the stone statues and said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Fan Oka fell silent.

From the sound of it, it seems that they are going to abandon their petrified companions.

"It may not be easy to go back. I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Navigator Lafitte was petrified, so he had to act as the navigator for now. Van Oka took out the permanent pointer of Honeycomb Island from his arms and took a look at it.

Fortunately, Aokiji, who has the power of the frozen sea, is here, otherwise it would be a pipe dream to sail from the entrance of the New World to the Beehive Island without a navigator.

the other side.

In the waters of Egghead, pulled by the super express shrimp and driven by the dual power system, the Merry struggled forward in the blizzard covering the sea.

It was not until the thick snow on the deck had reached above their calves that Reiner and his crew finally saw the light breaking through the blizzard.

“Hehehe! Go ahead!!”

Luffy grinned, raising his hands in the air and cheering loudly from the bow.

The light gradually became dazzling, and the super express shrimp pulled the Merry out of the encirclement in one go!

Wow!

The giant red shrimp happily jumped out of the sea with the boat and slammed heavily into the water, stirring up huge waves like a high blue wall. The waves in the air turned into silver threads and poured down.

"Huh? Strange, how could this happen?"

After a violent shaking, everyone finally stabilized themselves. Nami looked around in amazement.

Unlike the white blizzard behind us, the front was unexpectedly calm, the sun was warm, and there was a cool feeling full of summer charm.

"Wuhu~~Hahahaha! I saw the island, everyone!"

Luffy sat at the bow and looked back with laughter, his face as excited as ever.

No matter when or where, always carry with you a passion and enthusiasm.

Chapter 369 Because Luffy’s father is too poor

From a distance, it looks like an island full of tropical atmosphere. The waves are lapping against the shore. There are coconut trees on the island and large green banana leaves are swaying in the wind.

What is surprising is that among the cotton-white clouds floating above the island, a huge purple eggshell-shaped building stands above the clouds.

"Could it be that!"

"That can't be it!"

Luffy, Chopper and Usopp stuck their heads out in amazement, staring at the white cloud in disbelief.

"It's Sky Island!!"

The excitement in their hearts was revealed on their faces, and the eyes of the three of them immediately flashed with golden light.

“As we approached the island, even the air started to warm up.”

Nami muttered curiously as she looked around.

The blizzard in the distance behind her showed no signs of dissipating, and this unusual climate contrast left her feeling baffled.

The Merry slowly sailed towards the island. At this moment, a large number of black shadows appeared underwater around the island, and bubbles gurgled from the sea surface.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Several waves were stirred up, and in the surprised gaze of everyone, huge bodies broke through the sea and rose up, guarding the island, and pairs of beast eyes stared at them.

“—Hey! Is that a sea monster?!”

Usopp cried out in surprise.

"Yohohoho~, it looks like they're guarding this island."

Brooke's figure was as light as a swallow. He jumped onto the bow railing with a smile and squatted down, his bony fingers grasping his crutch, ready to draw his sword at any time.

"Wait a minute, these sea beasts don't look normal."

Franky suddenly spoke, looking seriously at the group of sea beasts in front of him.

After he said this, the others also realized that something was wrong.

Sea lions, sea giraffes, sea bulls, beaver cats, etc. have been sailing on the Grand Line for a long time, so they are no longer surprised by these things.

But these sea beasts were all wearing very high-tech equipment, which made everyone surprised.

"They look like they've been bred in captivity."

Zoro frowned and walked forward with his elbow resting on the hilt of his sword.

If these sea beasts have owners, they would not be able to act rashly.

汽~

At this moment, several steam sounds were emitted at the same time.

The eyes of those sea beasts glowed red, and their bodies opened up in their chests like mechanical doors, revealing several missiles.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh!

Without any call, several missiles with flames spraying from their tails flew towards them quickly!

Seeing this, Sauron raised the corner of his mouth and smiled coldly:

"Since the other party took the initiative, we don't need to be polite."

As he spoke, Zoro quickly pulled out the Wado Ichimonji and bit it in his mouth, then jumped high with two swords in hand, his eyes darkened, and he swung the swords hard at the flying rockets!

"Three Swords Style: Thousand Eight Troubled Phoenixes!!"

Stupid! !

Three green flying slashes gathered together, spinning out like a whirlwind, instantly engulfing all the rockets.

boom! boom! boom!

The rocket exploded in the air with such great power that Zoro couldn't help but look serious.

The terrifying explosion turned into a strong wind, and the entire surrounding sea surface was like a blue carpet with huge waves, and the Merry was shaking continuously.

Brook fixed his gaze, drew out his rapier, a cold light flashed, and he shot towards the sea beast in one leap.

however.

His skeleton body had just emerged from the smoke produced by the explosion and came in front of the sea monster, with dazzling light shining on his face.

Brook was stunned for a moment. All the sea beasts opened their mouths and aimed at him. The lasers condensed in their mouths emitted a terrifying energy.

“—Hey!!”

"Wait a minute! Damai, damai, how could it be a laser?!"

Brook was so scared that his jaw dropped. He quickly turned around and ran back, his flywheel legs flapping in the air, leaving afterimages.

"Run!"

"Brooke!"

Luffy and the others leaned on the guardrail with their hands and cried out in panic.

Swish!

In a flash of lightning, a swift figure flew past the crowd.

"Amulet of Evil!!"

A flash of green flame leaped, and a huge black heavy shield appeared in time to block Brook.

boom--! !
