Arkham in the pirate world

Chapter 201 Black Shadow! People from all walks of life gather together!

East China Sea, Frost Moon Village.

The spring was bright, the earth was dyed green, and amid the chirping of birds, Sauron put down the lit green incense in the cemetery.

"It's been seven years since then. I'm finally going to embark on a journey, right?" Koushiro stood behind Zoro, squinting his eyes with a smile.

"Yes, teacher"

Zoro stood up, turned his head, and said, "To fulfill the promise."

Zoro bowed to Koushiro and walked out.

"Zoro, take care of yourself," Koushiro said.

"Um"

When Koushiro returned to the dojo, he saw that Ichiro Douwa was teaching a group of six or seven-year-old children to practice swordsmanship. Among them was Ichiro Douwa's child. His thoughts were suddenly pulled back to more than ten years ago, when he was teaching swordsmanship just like him. My own child can't help but feel a little sad and sad.

have lunch.

The middle-aged Doi Enichiro said to Koushiro: "Sir, has Zoro left?"

"Well, it's a year earlier than I thought." Koushiro said.

"It must have been stimulated by Saka. Only good opponents can progress faster," said Ichiro Douen.

A year ago, Saka Zhi went out to explore. After experiencing a real life-and-death battle, Saka turned what he learned into combat power, and his strength improved rapidly. He would return to the dojo once a month and bring some small gifts to Koushiro and the dojo staff. During this period, Sauron felt pressured by competing with him. In order not to be defeated by Saka, Sauron also trained harder.

Koushiro nodded slightly. Having a good opponent will indeed make Zoro more motivated, such as Kuina in the past.

However, after Kuina left, although Zoro trained like crazy, the results and speed of progress were not as good as when Kuina was there.

Because at that time, Sauron could no longer find an opponent of the same age in the dojo. Instead, Saka stood out and gradually kept up with Sauron's pace. He could compete with Sauron. With Saka's pursuit and Sauron's strength, He just started to improve, but at that time, Saka didn't put enough pressure on Sauron.

No matter how ferocious a tiger is, put it in a cage with nowhere to sharpen its claws. Over time, the tiger will become a pet in the cage.

If a young eagle is not given a chance to stretch its wings, it will never be able to soar.

A goldfish in a small pond will never become a real dragon unless it enters the ocean.

It wasn't until Saka came back from practicing, almost defeated Sauron, and told Sauron that with his strength, he wouldn't be ranked in the East China Sea, that Sauron gained momentum again.

Thriller Bark Amusement Park is already a well-known tourist destination in the park segment with "horror" as its selling point.

The booming business has brought a lot of income to Thrillerbark Amusement Park, but it has also made the staff miserable.

Especially the fat nerd Moonlight Moriah. He feels like vomiting when he sees shadows now. His highest record is to cut out the shadows of more than 24 people every day. Calculating that there are 86400 seconds in a 16-hour day, he cuts one every seconds on average. Forget, take out the break from get off work, too.

When something becomes mechanical and repetitive work, no matter how interesting it is, it becomes boring.

The key is to cut out these people's shadows and put them back, just to satisfy these people's sense of curiosity.

The majestic King Shichibukai, is it so worthless?

No, the price has to be increased. If you want to cut the shadow, OK, pay for it. At least you will get a cup of happy fat house water once you cut it.

Not only Moonlight Moria, but Perona and Absalom also protested. There were too many tourists and too much work. They were almost exhausted.

You must know that when they followed Moonlight Moria, they were in a state of health after eating and sleeping. They suddenly started living in "996" and were completely unaccustomed to it.

The only one who has always maintained his enthusiasm is Brooke. This guy's music concerts are sold out and he is very famous in the park. Many music companies have already waved Bailey to sign him.

After comprehensive consideration, Crowe, who is responsible for the operation of Thrillerbark Amusement Park, agreed to the employees' request and limited the daily passenger flow. Only 5000 tourists can enter Thrillerbark Amusement Park every day. Therefore, now they have to go to Thrillerbark Amusement Park. To play, you must make a reservation.

This not only does not reduce the enthusiasm of tourists, but also increases the sense of mystery.

Under the clouds, a storm swept across, the sea surface surged, and huge waves of more than ten meters were set off.

bang

Suddenly, a thunderous sword wave struck into the waves, splitting the huge waves pressing like a city wall into a large canyon-like crack.

On a large ship, Kuina stood on the bow of the ship, constantly slashing her sword at the waves, fighting against the raging tsunami and storm.

After leaving Shuoyue Village, Kuina never stopped honing herself. After she was stationed at Thrillerbark Amusement Park, she discovered that storms and tsunamis often appeared in the Magic Triangle, so she often took Nanque and Beixuan with her. Tsunami practices her sword.

The Magic Triangle area where thrillerbark amusement park is located is the only place to go from the Capital of Seven Waters to the Shampoo Islands.

Some people may think that the horror of the Magic Triangle is due to the terrifying barque of Moonlight Moria. In fact, this is not the case. The Magic Triangle was already a mysterious area where ships disappeared before the terrifying barque arrived.

According to Moonlight Moria, the Magic Triangle is also the origin of Aquaragna, the terrifying tsunami known as the "Water Gods" by the Seven Islands of Water.

In other places, tsunamis occur occasionally, but in the Magic Triangle, tsunamis occur frequently without much warning. If you are unlucky, you will be killed by the tsunami. Therefore, there are more than 100 ships in the outside world every year. The rumor that he disappeared in the Magic Triangle because of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship is completely false.

Moonlight Moria personally denied this incident, saying frankly that less than 20 ships were actually captured by their group every year, and the rest were destroyed by storms, tsunamis, and various mysterious events in the Magic Triangle.

Think about it, if 100 ships are killed by them every year, even if there are only 100 people on each ship, there are still 10000 people every year. They have been here for nearly 10 years, that is people.

When Lister and the others landed on the island, there were only more than a thousand zombies on the terrifying three-masted ship.

Once the data is compared, you will know whether it is true or false.

It's just because the terrifying barque stayed here, and because everyone couldn't explain the frequent shipwrecks in the Magic Triangle, that the blame was placed on Moonlight Moria.

As for why tsunamis and storms occur frequently in this sea area, Moonlight Moria definitely doesn't know. He is not a scholar, so he still wants to explore such issues. What's more, even those scholars can't figure out what's going on.

However, there are some clues in some legends of the Seven Islands of Water. It is said that the Magic Triangle is where the water god Aquaragna lives. Once a mortal invades his territory, the breath he exhales will It will stir up storms and tsunamis, punishing mortals.

The boat Kuina was riding on was bumping and undulating in the waves. She swung her knife one after another to split the waves that kept rolling in.

Such an all-out slashing attack was extremely draining of energy, and even Kuina was panting from exhaustion.

Finally, the tsunami that lasted for nearly two hours disappeared in an instant as the sky cleared, and the sea suddenly became calm, just like storms and tsunamis. Everything was an illusion and had never happened.

Kuina held "Raikiri" in one hand and took a deep breath to calm her breathing. As a result, Nanque handed over a towel to wipe away her sweat.

"Hey, look, what is that?"

Suddenly, Beixuan exclaimed.

Guina and Nanque looked at him and found that his expression looked very frightened, so they couldn't help but follow his gaze in surprise.

A thick white mist enveloped the sea and sky in the distance, and in the hazy mist, three black figures towering above the sky appeared. Just by looking at it, one could feel a sense of oppression as if facing a god.

"It's an illusion," Nan Que said in disbelief, then rubbed his eyes.

Guina's hair stood on end. Her years of training had given her a keen sense of danger. She looked at the three black figures and said, "No, it's not an illusion."

As she finished speaking, the largest black shadow in the center seemed to open its eyes, and two red lights lit up from the white mist.

However, soon, the three huge black figures disappeared in the thick fog.

West Sea.

Flower King's Palace.

Chaofeng Palace.

The king of the Kingdom of Flowers usually handles government affairs in the imperial study. Although Zheng Zijing has taken control of the court affairs, she did not go to the imperial study to avoid taboos.

The layout of Chaofeng Hall is quite simple, with no extravagant decorations. Even Zheng Zijing behind the desk is dressed more plainly than before.

On the desk were memorials sent from various places. While Zheng Zijing was reviewing them, she said to Zhang Zhong, who was half-kneeling: "He asked someone to contact the Minister of Rites."

When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven.

After Zheng Zijing succeeded in seizing power, she promoted Zhang Zhong to serve as the commander of the palace guards. People who were originally members of the Red Leaf Society also took up some positions one after another.

"Yes"

"It seems that I have underestimated him a bit. I have tolerated it in the past few years, and he has also cultivated some party members in the palace. The Ministry of Rites has always used the ancestral method to talk about things and wants to let him take power. Due to the unstable current situation, I'm being lenient, but unfortunately, they don't appreciate it."

Zheng Zijing spoke calmly and said: "There is nothing to worry about like clowns. What we need to guard against are those admirals who hold military power and are disloyal."

While the two were talking, a small head poked his head in at the door of the palace, blinking his dark eyes. After seeing Zheng Zijing, he climbed over the threshold that was a little higher than his waist. When he landed, he failed to step on it firmly and fell to the ground. , he looked left and right, as if no one had seen him, stood up, rubbed his sore buttocks, and looked at the threshold. He rolled out again, then rolled in again. This time he landed successfully, and he laughed.

With the strength of Zheng Zijing and Zhang Zhong, they naturally noticed the movement at the door.

Zhang Zhong couldn't help but say: "The prince has the appearance of a hero."

Zheng Zijing smiled.

Uncle Guo's Mansion.

On the martial arts ground, a group of children were practicing boxing together, and they could hear humming and heying. Most of these children were orphans who lost their families due to the war, and some were sold by their parents and taken in by the uncle's house.

Cessna Island.

Outside the bay, there are boats patrolling.

"Hey, look, isn't that the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

A pirate ship flying the Whitebeard Pirate Flag approaches Cessna Island.

"Hurry up and notify the island"

The patrol captain ordered while approaching the pirate ship and blocking the way.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose in approaching Cessna Island?"

"Didn't you see our flag? You are so brave. You dared to intercept the ship of our Whitebeard Pirates." A pirate yelled.

Foil Bista stood up, waved his hand to signal him to be silent, and said to the patrol leader: "I am Bista, please inform Liszt."

"Bista is the captain of the 5th division of the Whitebeard Pirates"

The patrol leader quickly reported the situation, and after a while, he said politely: "Mr. Bista, please come in."

Bista's ship docked, and when he got off the ship, he saw Liszt waiting at the dock.

"Mr. Bista, long time no see" Liszt smiled heartily.

"Yes, long time no see, you are now the owner of Cessna Island," Bista said with a smile.

"After Dad heard that you captured Cessna Island, he asked me to send you some fine wine to congratulate you."

"Oh, right? Mr. Edward is so polite. Come, please come inside and let me entertain you well." Liszt said.

As Bista arrived, Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Blowyer of the Bigo Pirates handed over greeting cards.

Liszt also welcomed him personally.

A man and a woman got off the white cashew nut-like boat. The man was tall, with short amaranth red hair, strong muscles, slender legs, and a patched scar on each cheek. There are pink tattoos on the left arm and left upper body, and a skull-shaped tattoo on the left arm.

He is wearing a white scarf that looks like a flower, and his overall clothing style is full of strong black metal style. Wearing a pair of black gloves with a spike on his left arm. Wearing black jeans, a white kneepad on the left knee, and a pair of spiked black boots with spurs on the back.

The woman has short light pink hair, light brown eyes, and a small and slender nose.

She wore a tall, fluffy floor-length dress with a white collar and a light green cape with a pink bottom.

There are a pair of white elbow-length gloves on her hands, and a golden crown on her head. The upper part of the dress is yellow, with a low-cut opening, and the lower part is light beige, lined with three rows of roses, and is surrounded by a A long sword with a black sheath.

"You are Liszt from the East China Sea who defeated Sargres and Doflamingo." Blowyer, who is nearly three meters tall, said with a hint of arrogance in his tone, looking down at Liszt.

Katakuri folded his arms and remained silent. He was 509cm tall and was also a little giant.

Liszt smiled and said: "It was just a coincidence to defeat them. We are guests from afar. Please come in. Mr. Bista, the foil swordsman of the Whitebeard Pirates, is also on the island."

Blowyer glanced at Katakuri, waited for him to nod, and then said, "Excuse me."

After staying at the place arranged by Liszt, Blowyer asked: "Brother, what do you think of him?"

"You can't see it without taking action," Katakuri said.

"Then, do you want to test it?"

"No, someone will take action." Katakuri said.

"Who"

"The location of Cessna Island is quite special. The Whitebeard Pirates are here with us. The Beasts Pirates and the Red-haired Pirates will definitely not sit idly by. I don't know about the Red-haired Pirates. , but the Beast Pirates are mostly Drought Jack."

Blowyer immediately understood and said with a smile: "That reckless guy Jack will not accept negotiations. If anything can be solved by force, use force."

Coming next was the Sun Pirates, one of the Seven Seas of War under the King.

"Brother Liszt, if you need help with anything, just tell us," Jinbei said directly.

"Of course, of course, if there is really trouble, I will definitely ask you for help. Let's go to the island for a drink." Liszt welcomed Jinbei and his party to the island.

After that, it was Morgans, the president of World Economic News.

Morgans maintained his albatross form, wearing a top hat and a small waistcoat. As soon as he got off the boat, he smiled and said: "Liszt, is my Bailey ready?"

"One hundred and ten million Baileys, not a penny," said Lister.

"Haha, just kidding, why would I worry that you can't get the money?" Morgans laughed.

Then he said, "I heard you wanted to develop Cessna Island, and I was very interested, so I came over in person."

"If you want to invest, welcome, welcome." Liszt said with a smile.

"Oh, I thought you would refuse." Morgans was a little surprised.

Liszt smiled and said: "Haha, no, one person can't do business. I welcome any collaborator, not to mention you, even the Four Emperors and the World Government. As long as the interests are in place, we can cooperate, right?"

"You're such a profit seeker, but I like it," Morgans said.

"No, no, I have my own rules."

Big figures came to the island one after another. Such a movement could be said to be the arrival of all the heroes, making the atmosphere on Cessna Island suddenly become tense and depressing.

After all, none of these big shots are kind people, and they even have conflicts with each other. If they get into a fight over a disagreement, the Cessna Island may be sunk.

However, everyone is still restrained. After all, the circle in the New World is small or big. They all know each other. There will be minor frictions, but if there is a real fight, the two forces may be involved.

Moreover, the purpose of their coming here was not to fight, but to test Liszt's attitude.

Except for one pirate group.

Drought Jack of the Beast Pirates arrived at the bay and made a provocative gesture by sinking the patrol boat over a disagreement.

The news spread to the island, and the big shots who arrived early showed expressions of watching the show.

"That guy Jack, he really didn't disappoint," Morgans said.

After Liszt learned about it, he immediately rushed to the port.

A large ship flying the flag of the Beasts Pirates came into the wind, with two curved white tusks sticking out of the elephant head on the bow.

And on the bow of the ship, stood an 830-year-old man.

He is tall and strong, with a ponytail and two braids, a metal jaw on his mouth, and two ivory-like decorations on his head and shoulders. With spiked rivets and a feathery coat.

Drought, Jack
