Chapter 141 The Zodiac Knights

Chapter 141 The Zodiac Knights

"Overcast...overcast again."

Bonnie looked at the food stored on the deck with a pained expression. "In this damp and overcast weather, the food stored on the Blackwhale won't last much longer. We still haven't found anything..."

Nami looked at the Log Pose in her hand, frowning. "The magnetic field became disordered after entering this sea area, and the Log Pose is completely useless."

Then, arms crossed, he looked around nervously, wondering, "What if some zombies or skeletons appear and eat us?"

"Click—click—"

—"

Two flashes of lightning and clap of thunder in the sky startled Nami.

"We're almost there," Kuroro reassured him.

"This area will draw all ships into the range of the terror trolls, which is why so many ships disappear every year."

"Now that we have left the skies and chosen to sail on the sea, the ocean currents will pull the Black Whale there."

Nami crossed her arms over her chest, and...don't even mention it...she's even more scared now!

While the Black Whale was sailing alone in the sea, on another route in the Devil's Triangle.

A warship with the twelve zodiac animal patterns on its prow is simultaneously sailing towards the territory of the Terror Three-Masted Sail, and arrives at its destination first.

"Clatter..."

""

The three men at the head of the group slowly disembarked from the boat. One of them was dressed in a black and white spotted outfit with two bull horns on his hat. The other had a golden afro and three distinct beard marks on his cheeks. They were none other than the twelve Earthly Branches: Ox - Mizaster Nana and Tiger - Kang Zai.

The two men, expressionless and carrying their rifles, walked towards Moria's terrifying fortress. Behind them followed a tall, burly figure wearing a bear-patterned hat, with a mechanically cold demeanor... "Tyrant" Bear!

Upon seeing the newcomers, Absalom, the user of the Clear-Clear Fruit, scrambled to report to Moria. The three of them traveled without hindrance and soon appeared at the top of Thriller Bark.

"Moria," Mizeston said expressionlessly.

Moria was puzzled to see the two strangers in front of the bear. He arrogantly ignored them and greeted the bear behind him directly: "Bear, what brings you here?"

'

..."Silence. The bear did not respond at all.

Mitchellston continued, "He won't, or rather, isn't capable of answering any of your questions."

"Who are you two?" Mizziston's words drew Moria's attention back to the two short men in front of him.

Moria's gaze still held a hint of disdain, but Mitchell's next words shocked him.

Mizziston leaned close to Moria's ear and slowly uttered five words: "The Zodiac Knights."

"!!!"

"You're that person's subordinates?!"

Moria was taken aback, then his expression instantly turned wary as he stared intently at the two of them.

Seeing this, Mitchellston gave a meaningful smile: "Figando asked us to give you his regards."

Mitchell stepped forward, looked Moria in the eye, and said, "He has a question for me to ask you."

Mizziston said, enunciating each word clearly, "Why would you secretly collect the corpses of the Rocks Pirates?"

In an instant—

Moriah's face changed drastically—

At the same time, "click—"

"The Black Whale docked at the shore. Seeing the trembling Nami and the reluctant Bonney, Chrollo was speechless. "Uvogin, Nobunaga, Phinks, Feitan, this dungeon isn't too difficult. The four of you take Shizuku and capture Moria to bring him to me. The rest of you can wait on the ship."

The four of them are the main fighting force of the brigade. They need to accumulate experience and improve themselves in battle so that they can unleash their Haki as early as possible.

All five nodded in unison, with Nami and Bonney both showing expressions of relief.

After planting the [Compass of Fate] on the five people, Kuroro instructed them, "Shizuku, pay close attention to Moria's use of shadows; this will be your power in the future."

Then Kuroro turned to Uvogin and explained the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power and weaknesses: "Be careful to protect your shadow from being cut off."

"Finally..." Kuroro spread his arms wide, "Destroy as much as you want!"

"It is one—"

"Pat...pat...pat..."

'

The sound of the five people's footsteps faded into the distance, gradually disappearing into the distance at the end of the mist.

"Weren't they saying there would be zombies or ghosts or something? Why has it been so peaceful along the way?"

Xiao Di touched the round frame of her glasses with her index finger, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Unlike Nami and Bonney, she is different from other girls.

If Nami's feeling towards this ghost island hidden among the sails is fear...

Bonnie hates the weather and climate here.

Machi simply loathed zombies, those filthy creatures.

Xiao Di, however, is completely different from them.

There was no trace of the aforementioned emotions in Xiao Di's eyes... only childlike curiosity.

Xiao Di has a very serious case of amnesia, or rather, forgetfulness is not accurate; it should be described as... a very serious case of amnesia.

Just like in the original story, after Uvogin's death, she forgot that Uvogin even existed, Shizuku has a hard time dealing with complex emotions.

Therefore, most of the time, she forgets her emotions.

It's almost impossible to see intense emotions like anger, ecstasy, sadness, or fear on Xiao Di's face.

"Who knows? Maybe they panicked at the thought of our arrival and hid."

Finks replied nonchalantly.

"I don't think so." Nobunaga squatted down and pinched the soil that had been pressed out of the ground.

"Judging from the marks on the ground, it's clear that many people have been here, but they all hurried in one direction. It seems... as if they were driven by something."

The four then passed through a desolate graveyard and found that all the graves had been thrown up and the soil turned upside down. "How come these zombies came out early?" Nobunaga's expression was also very puzzled.

"Could it be that someone arrived before us?" he pondered, stroking his chin.

"Then let's speed up."

The five then unleashed their speed, no longer cautious, and rushed towards the central area of ​​Ghost Island.

Before they even got close, the sounds of a violent battle could be heard. A terrifying zombie giant, nearly 70 meters tall and with two horns on its head, was attacking the two glowing figures on the ground. On the other side of this chaotic battlefield, a group of zombies were attacking a tall man wearing a bear-ear hat. However, the man was like a robot, constantly shooting lasers from his hands and mouth, blasting the zombies back step by step.

Upon seeing the chaotic battlefield, all five of them were stunned.

"If I'm not mistaken, those two glowing figures are Ox and Tiger, right? How did they end up here?" Uvogin asked, looking bewildered.

Nobunaga looked up at the robot, then turned around and sped off in the direction of the Black Whale.

"That man is very likely the father Bonney has been searching for—the Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma."

I went back to find the regimental commander and the others.

"
