Youqi finally overcame all opinions and calmed down all the ghosts on the ship.
To make even crying children laugh, this was the original intention of the Lumbar Pirates' voyage. The crew also knew some music, but they were not as outstanding as Brooke.
Although they are called a pirate group, their essence is more like a group of armed opera troupes sailing on the sea. As the captain, Yuqi is still enough to convince the crowd.
"I see, the underworld fruit you ate had this effect. Then how did you become like this?"
"Well. After I left Huangquan, my soul was lost. When I found my body, it was already corrupted. Fortunately, my hair roots are very strong, otherwise I would have become bald, yo hoo hoo hoo."
Perhaps it was a reunion after a long absence, but these ghosts of the Rumba Pirates did not pay attention to Brooke's skeleton jokes. Instead, they kept asking Brooke some information.
How was your day, how was the filibuster, it looked like a big party.
"Captain Youqi, are there fewer people here? I remember everyone should be"
"Yes, everyone is dead except you, but the ghosts of Huangquan will also dissipate. We don't know how long they will last. Some people disappear soon after they arrive, but some people can exist for a very long time.
But it doesn’t matter. It’s already a great thing that we can reunite here after dying once. "
The Land of Underworld is not an eternal place. According to Youqi, the ghosts here will also dissipate, but no one knows where they ended up.
They are just passers-by in this land of hell and do not understand the rules here.
Apart from extraditing the deceased, Huang Quan was mostly indifferent to other matters.
The last time the Originator strayed into this place was due to an accident, this time it was Huangquan's active spread in order to fight the enemy. The behavior of Huangquan itself was naturally different, so Luffy and the others did not hear that the living were leaving this place. words.
The ghosts of the Lumba Pirates were ready to study the music again, but Yuchi looked at Luffy and the others.
"Are these your new partners? They look good. You can find a new home, and us old guys will feel relieved."
"Yes, they are all very reliable people. By the way, a few of our companions are lost. Do you know where they will appear?"
"Lost? That would be difficult. Huangquan's sense of space is a very special thing. If you are separated from other people, it will not be easy to find it again without any special method. Basically, you can only try your luck."
Hearing that Brooke said that their companions were lost here, Youqi also felt very difficult to deal with.
"Then how did you find me?"
"I feel like I, a dead person, can't tell you what's in the soul. If you go by your feelings, the probability of meeting the other party is still high.
We can find you because we were once companions. If you want to find him, you can only rely on yourself.
We can help. We will go and look for each other separately. Unlike you who are living people, our dead companions are familiar with each other's scent and can find it back even if we are separated.
And we can also roughly feel where there are living people, which can help you rule out some wrong directions. "
Youqi gave his own suggestion and asked the undead group of the Lombard Pirates to follow the Straw Hats to try to find traces of Sauron and agreed on a time. If the time is exceeded, they will return to the Lombard Pirates even if they are not found. ghost ship.
After making the decision, Franky and Chopper walked together in one direction according to feeling as Yuqi said.
Because of Brooke, they chose to trust these people of the Lumba Pirates, so each group was followed by some members of the Lumba Pirates.
The vision in Huangquan was not clear, and there was a lot of mist on the ground. As he walked, Chopper suddenly felt his feet stumble, and then he tripped and fell to the ground.
The wind caused by the body's fall caused the fog to drift into the distance, and what came into view was a corpse.
"Ah!! It's a mummy!"
"Isn't this the underworld? It's normal to have corpses."
"No, you two, you are wrong. There will be no corpses in Huangquan. This is a country of dead souls, not a cemetery. The corpses that can appear here can only be of the living."
"Franky, is Zoro also like this?"
"I believe he is well. We can only find him as soon as possible."
The two of them continued to search for Sauron's location, but a force in the dark caused Chopper to meet another person.
"Doctor?! Why are you here? No, you are indeed here. That's also wrong. Are you really a doctor?!"
A ghost was groping for something in front of him. His hair and face almost formed a cross. After hearing Chopper's voice, the ghost's head turned 180 degrees, and then his body also turned around.
"Chopper? Why are you here? The life span of a reindeer shouldn't be so short, right? Because it has a blue nose, isn't it different from other reindeer?"
"I'm not dead yet!! Give me back the emotion I just felt!"
Hearing Blue Nose's name, Chopper instinctively entered the irritable stage, but as soon as he shouted a word, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Dr. Siruluk, you are indeed here."
They did not stop, but continued to search for Sauron, but there was another ghost in the team, the ghost of Hiruluk.
Chopper was ostracized by the deer because of his special characteristics since he was a child. After eating the Renren Fruit, he was expelled by the deer and feared by the villagers. Hiruluk is like another father to him.
Siruluk is a doctor, but he is an out-and-out quack. There are basically no diseases that he can cure.
Later, Siruluk became terminally ill. Chopper heard others say that a mushroom could cure the disease, and he went through all kinds of troubles to find it.
But at that time, Chopper didn't know much about medicine, so he didn't know that it was not a healing medicine, but a poisonous mushroom.
Hiruluk's time was short, and he was even more exhausted at that time. In order to thank Chopper for his kindness, he drank it even though he knew it was poisonous, and eventually died due to Wapol's trap.
"I learned a lot from Doctor Dori, Wapol was also driven away, the magnetic drum... no, it is now the Sakura Kingdom.
I am now on my voyage, and I will definitely research the real panacea. "
Chopper wanted to touch Hiriluk's body, but in the end he only encountered nothingness. Even though Hireluk still maintained the appearance he had when he died, the ghost's body was telling Chopper that nothing could go back. .
"The panacea. Speaking of which, I still have some ideas that I haven't had time to tell you. I think this is the case."
Siruluk told a prescription and his own thoughts, which made Chopper's hair stand on end.
"Stop talking! What devilish idea do you have? Do you want everyone who takes this medicine to die?"
If he changed his career to making poisons, Hiruluk might be a genius.
It is undeniable that he is a quack doctor who cannot cure people's diseases, but he has been working hard to cure a country's diseases.
The addition of Siruluk gave this team a more hilarious atmosphere and added a little nostalgia to this cold underworld.
The grouping of Usopp and Von Clay was in a similar situation, except that Usopp met his mother. Looking at the muscle lines on Usopp's body, she also lamented that her child had grown up.
On the other side, Gaji and others had also disarmed their mechas. After arriving here, the Big Mom that was in front of them disappeared out of thin air, leaving only an empty venue.
Even the combat uniforms that had been taken away before were scattered nearby, allowing them to pick them up directly.
Not long after they found the battle suit, some undead set their sights on them. Those technological weapons were useless in front of these undead, and they could only rely on the flight capabilities provided by the battle suit to retreat.
"What on earth are these."
There is also a gap in the strength between the ghosts. They can avoid ordinary ghosts, but there are also some special individuals that almost cost them their lives.
Now they are facing a ghost that cannot be shaken off, but only Gaji is afraid of it, and his children have no wavering about it.
At this time, he finally felt a trace of the evil consequences he had planted. Children who don't know fear are good fighting weapons, but they have no ability to empathize at all.
Even if he showed fear, there was only the disdainful laughter of children in his ears.
In the crisis of life and death, his survival instinct made him choose to wave the spear in his hand, and this blow successfully killed this strange ghost.
"What's going on? Where is this?"
"This is the country of Huangquan, Jiazhi."
A soft voice sounded in Gaji's ears. His children still had no change, but Gaji's body stiffened.
"Sosola?!"
Vinsmoke Sora, the former King and Queen of Germa, normal living people cannot harm the world of the dead, only the ghosts of the dead can do this.
When the relationship between the two parties is close enough, the dead souls can also temporarily transmit this power to the living.
"It was you who transformed the children into heartless machine superpowers. Now, do you still think this is right? Even if you are their father, they are still extremely worried when they see you dying in front of them. indifferent."
There was love between Sora and Gaji. Before Gaji made the decision to transform his children, their lives were still very close, so it was not surprising that Sora could find this place.
At the same time, Sanji's figure also appeared nearby, and only Sanji and Reiju remembered their mother's death.
Especially Sanji. Sanji was able to retain all his emotions completely and became a "failure" in Gaji's eyes because Sora took drugs that could affect blood factors when she was pregnant.
Judging from the changes in Sanji in the original timeline, he was the only successful child, and Sora also gradually weakened due to the side effects of the drug after the child was born, and eventually died of illness.
The promise she made with Sanji to "eat your cooking again" can no longer be fulfilled.
The current environment is not suitable. Sanji can't find a place to make food, and members of the Lombard Pirates have also told him that the undead cannot eat like normal people.
Facing Sora's question, Gaji didn't say anything, but he was unwilling to admit Sora's words. That was his obsession with technology.
"Even if you're indifferent, it's better than this good-for-nothing son, isn't it?"
"Gaji, you."
"Mom, don't argue with this bastard, let me tell him the truth."
Sanji wanted to prove that his mother was right more than his so-called father, and the method he chose was also very direct. Since Gaji believed that the external force brought by the battle suit was everything, then he would defeat Gaji. Something to rely on.
"I still have to go find that bastard green algae head. I don't have time to waste with you. Let's end this quickly. Devil's Wind Feet·Beef Shank STRIKE!"
The training in the Kamabaka Kingdom allowed Sanji to no longer rely on rotation when he activated the Devil's Wind Kick. Within two steps, his right foot turned red, and he immediately defeated Gaji's defense from the front.
"Sorry, Mom, I still have things to do and can't chat with you anymore."
"It's okay, Sanji. Living friends are far more important than dead people. Go find him quickly."
"Asshole, what the hell is this place! Are everyone else lost? Why can't you see anyone?"
While the Straw Hats are struggling to find Sauron, and there are constant interruptions in the process, Sauron is fulfilling his great cause of getting lost.
The fog that appeared from time to time made it difficult for him to see the road. If he only looked at the number of steps, he had completed a migration, but looking at the distance, he was almost stationary.
From beginning to end, he just kept going in circles.
But it was not fruitless. At least as the confusion worsened, he finally saw something different.
"Pirate hunter. Go to hell, you bastard!"
A ghost rushed towards Sauron. There were not only relatives and friends in the underworld, but also enemies. Those enemies who were full of resentment after being killed were also likely to come. Sauron was an example in front of him.
After he left Shuoyue Village, he could never find his way back because he got lost, so he started a pirate hunter business to make a living. The ghost in front of him was one of them. Zoro didn't even remember this person's name. .
But even if he forgets his name, he will directly fight back when facing an opponent who attacks him.
"One Sword Style·Three Hundred and Sixty Worrying Phoenixes!"
A sword energy was swung out, smashing the ghost into pieces in mid-air, but within a few seconds, the ghost returned to its original state again and swung a knife at Sauron.
"What?!"
Looking at a strange scar on his body, Zoro showed an expression of disbelief. He clearly waved his knife to block it, but the knife in the opponent's hand passed through his blade like nothingness and left a mark on his body. A strange scar.
A strange icing situation occurred directly at the wound, and the ghost was about to continue attacking, but was stopped by another knife. A young figure inserted between the two of them, helping Sauron resolve the crisis.
"You are already an adult, why are you still like this?"
During the block, the ghost that attacked Sauron had been defeated, and the little girl-looking person quickly and easily eliminated the enemy.
"Guina, so this is the underworld?"
The visitor was none other than Kuina, Zoro's childhood sweetheart who won 2001 times.
He was able to defeat adult men when he was still a child. He was a well-deserved genius. However, Koushiro believed that women could not become top powerhouses. If it were a different world, Koushiro would be hammered to death by this statement.
"You're quite smart. You've come to your senses now. What happened to you? How did you get here alive? Did you get lost?"
"certainly not!"
Zoro's confusion is not acquired, but congenital. When he was in the dojo, he got lost inside the dojo.
He sternly rejected Guina's question. He could recognize this place because of his original words.
He wanted to make his reputation known in Huang Quan, but he didn't expect that he would come here first before the reputation spread.
“When you died, I met a strange guy who said he was looking for the Land of Underworld, so I had some impression.
Why are you still like this? "
"Maybe it's because I was so old when I died, and the ghosts in Huangquan are the way people look when they just die.
Looking at you like this, it must have been a long time. Have you become the world's greatest swordsman? You won't forget our agreement. "
"No, this scar was left by the world's greatest swordsman. Give me some more time, and I will let my name spread here.
By the way, I have met many powerful women. What Master said is wrong. Even women can still become top strong men. "
"Let's not mention this for now. I have a question now. How many people have you offended outside?"
Ghosts began to gather from the surroundings sporadically, and their targets seemed to be Sauron.
"Well, when I was a pirate hunter, I often did this kind of thing for food. I didn't know."
"This is troublesome. The sword of the living cannot hurt the world after death. I can't deal with so many."
"Then do you think this will work?"
As he spoke, Zoro pulled out the other two swords and prepared for the three-sword style. At the same time, his body exuded a strange aura.
"Ghost energy·Nine-sword style."
boom!
Sauron had just set up his stance when a black energy ball was suddenly blasted away in front of him. As a result, the remaining ghosts fled in all directions, and Darkrai's body gradually floated over from the side.
"Zoron, be careful, something is wrong with him."
Darkrai's aura made Kuina shiver in her heart, and she couldn't help but take two steps back, just like seeing the prey of a natural enemy.
"Don't worry, he is the weirdo I told you who has been looking for hell. He shouldn't be a bad person."
As he said this, Sauron did not retract his knife, but looked in the direction of Darkrai warily.
"Put away that caution. Those things are just blocking my way. After all, we have met twice. Do you need to be so guarded against me?"
Darkrai didn't take them seriously. A lion would not feel a sense of crisis against a grinning rabbit, and the attack just thrown was just a smooth attack.
"You said you were looking for Huang Quan back then. Could it be that you were responsible for all this?"
"Not entirely, it can only be said to be a coincidence. Besides, shouldn't you thank me?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"It has nothing to do with you, but I advise you to stay away from here to avoid getting involved in the future."
This place is just a springboard for Darkrai. After his brief appearance, he disappeared here again.
Darkrai didn't explain anything to Sauron because there was no need.
He has been chasing Huang Quan for more than ten years, and now he has forced Huang Quan out, and based on what Arceus gave him, he is gradually getting closer to the aura.
Even if someone happens to see the stone slab first, it has nothing to do with them. Darkrai found the road and opened the door. You can't dig a well just because someone drew a bucket of water from the well. Forgot about it.
