Yo ho ho ho~~~ Yo ho ho ho~~~"
On the blue sea, a pirate ship much larger than Smoothie's ship, the Juice, sailed through the wind and waves.
On the deck, hundreds of pirates were celebrating with a feast.
A group of pirates sang happily on the sea. The melody was simple and catchy, making it popular with tone-deaf pirates. It had almost become the "Pirate Song" and was sung along with cups of fine wine.
The scene was lively and filled with joy.
"Ahahaha, little ones..."
In front of the massive mast, several wooden barrels were piled up.
A tall, thin pirate captain wearing a pirate hat stood out from the crowd. He looked energetic and full of life.
Holding a barrel cup, smiling widely, he shouted to the pirates around him, "Let's loosen our belts today, open the barrels and drink up! Enough wine and meat for everyone!"
"Oh oh oh..."
"Long live Captain Workson!"
"This heist was so successful!"
"I believe the captain's bounty will increase again soon!"
"Under the captain's leadership, the Foxy Pirates will definitely make a name for themselves on the Grand Line!"
Hearing that there was plenty of wine and meat, the pirates' eyes lit up with excitement.
They cheered, shouting happily.
But just as they were celebrating…
Without warning…
"Chi--"
Blood sprayed.
A large head flew through the air.
The pirates froze, their eyes wide in shock.
The head that flew up belonged to their captain, "High Jumper" Holly Workson, who had a bounty of 65 million Berries!
"Whoosh!"
A silver-white figure stood there.
Her silver hair fluttered around her, and her immaculate robes remained spotless.
The long sword in her hand glowed with a faint green light, and a visible trail of blood disappeared into the air.
It was chilling.
And, at some point, an off-white, mango-shaped Devil Fruit with strange patterns appeared in her hand.
"Plop."
The bloody head fell to the deck and rolled across the floor.
"Zhi—" High in the sky, a snow-white vulture flapped its wings, circling in the air.
"Captain—!"
"Hateful!!!"
"How is this possible?"
"That bastard..."
The pirates snapped out of their shock, their faces twisting with anger.
Many of them immediately became alert, grabbing their weapons nearby.
They stared in shock and confusion as Wilhelm suddenly appeared before them, looking furious.
Some even raised their guns in anger, aiming at the intruder and preparing to fire.
However, the moment they saw him clearly, their pupils shrank in terror, their faces drained of color, and cold sweat dripped down their brows.
"Ah! You are..."
"How can this be?"
"The notorious pirate, 'The Trembling Prince' Charlotte Wilhelm, with a bounty of 200 million Berries..."
"No, it's not 200 million Berries—it's 550 million Berries! This is the latest bounty the Marines just released for him!"
"Gulp! Five hundred and fifty million Berries..."
"Wait, why is someone like you attacking our Foxy Pirates?"
"We haven't even crossed paths with the BIG MOM Pirates!"
The group of pirates was terrified.
They looked at the unbelievably handsome and cold silver-white figure before them, their scalps tingling in fear.
Clearly, they recognized the supernova pirate who had been making headlines recently—the "Trembling Noble Son," Charlotte Wilhelm.
Some were sweating profusely, still in disbelief, while others gritted their teeth and tried to challenge him.
"It's said that anyone killed by the Shichiseiken has their soul consumed by the evil sword spirit..."
Wilhelm, ignoring these terrified pirates, calmly sheathed his Paramecia Jumping Fruit and focused.
He crossed the sharp Nidai Kitetsu and the Shichiseiken in front of him and spoke coldly, "Next, let's see how well the power of the Underworld Fruit and the evil power of the Shichiseiken combine."
In recent days, Wilhelm's mastery of both the Heaven's Fang and Shichiseiken had reached new heights.
Their powers were now intertwined as one.
In an instant—
"Om~~~Om~~~"
The brilliance flared, and the Shichiseiken hummed softly.
A wave of sinister energy, like a tornado, spread out uncontrollably.
The green light, like mist, lingered in the air.
And Nidai Kitetsu radiated a chilling cold.
"Keng..." The two razor-sharp blades sank into the deck.
Wilhelm muttered under his breath, "Hell Spring, heed my call—"
"Rise, undead army from hell!"
"Swish--"
An overwhelming chill rushed through the air.
In an instant, the massive deck froze completely, the ice spreading faster than the eye could follow.
In the terrified eyes of the pirates...
"Ka-ka-"
In the blink of an eye,
A group of knights holding spears and riding tall horses appeared, each exuding an incredibly cold aura.
The ice-sculpted figures looked lifelike, with their gloomy eyes glowing green.
It seemed as though a group of undead had truly risen from hell.
The pirates couldn't help but feel a deep sense of dread, their scalps tingling in fear.
"What!?"
"It's... a monster!"
"Gulp! Is this really an undead army from hell?"
"Hey, Mr. Wilhelm, what do you mean by this?"
"We've never crossed paths with you..."
...
The pirates, seeing the sudden appearance of the undead army, felt a chill run down their spines. They couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, a bad premonition gripping them.
Many of them displayed signs of despair and reluctance, urgently shouting at Wilhelm, hoping to beg for mercy.
"Go, destroy all enemies on this ship..."
As expected,
The pirates' faces turned pale with shock as Wilhelm, holding the Shichiseiken and Nidai Kitetsu, coldly gave his command: "Let me see your fighting power!"
He wasn't the only one capable of summoning such cavalry.
His main purpose was to test the combat effectiveness of these undead soldiers.
Using the Nidai Kitetsu, which he could control freely, and the Shichiseiken, which was now connected with his very soul and had devoured countless vengeful spirits over the years, Wilhelm could summon entire legions if he wished.
"Crack..."
With a single command,
The undead army seemed to come alive.
They moved in unison, their ice-sculpted bodies creaking and groaning, sending shivers down the pirates' spines.
The next moment,
The undead knights' green, ghostly eyes locked onto the terrified and enraged pirates.
"Peepley Lulu—"
The ice-sculpted horses seemed alive, neighing in unison, kicking their hooves, ready to charge.
In an instant,
The murderous undead knights, riding their warhorses, brandished their spears and began their charge.
"Hey~~~Zan~~~"
"Bang... Bang..."
"Boom... Boom..."
"Ahhh..."
