Chapter 133: Stranded Moby Dick
Chapter 133: Stranded Moby Dick
"Did you hear that sound last night?"
The next day at the Tavern, many people were excitedly discussing the events of the previous night. Clearly, many had heard that Screaming that pierced the Dark Night in the Late Night.
"Yeah, I heard it, it was really creepy. I heard it was some guys planning Theft who accidentally bumped into a Skeleton Undead."
"Hehe, wanna know the details?"
"You know about it?"
Hearing this, many people immediately turned to look.
The person being stared at by everyone also looked proud. Clearly, knowing something others didn't made his sense of superiority explode.
"Of course I know. My Wife's Younger Brother's Wife's Older Brother's Son's Friend's Brother is a Guard at Lord Kang's mansion. He told me all about it. Those guys were caught by the Samurai on night patrol."
"Tell us, what exactly happened?"
Hearing this, many people immediately became interested.
"Cough, cough, my throat's a bit dry."
The man coughed lightly twice and gently tapped the Table with his Empty Bowl.
And the people next to him, seeing this, knowingly picked up the Wine Bottle from the Table and poured him a refill.
Once it was refilled, the man took a sip, made a "tsk" sound, and then said, "Actually, it's pretty much like the News you heard. Someone really did run into a Ghost last night.
And according to those guys' Description, it was a Skeleton with only an Upper Body. His Whole Body was filled with Resentment like Death. The Flames of the Underworld floated around him, and if you touched them, you'd be burned to Ashes. Moreover, that Skeleton seemed to be a ferocious Warrior who died in Battle in White Dance a long time ago, nicknamed Manslayer Battosai.
However, Lord Kang has already sent people to the Great Temple in Flower Capital to invite the Expert Monk Fa Hai. It won't be long before they can re-suppress that Evil Spirit."
After saying this, the man took another sip of Wine, then noticed the Skeleton Decoration on the Tavern Wall and paused, slightly stunned.
"Boss Guoguang, what's that?"
The man asked, looking at the Skeleton on the Wall, slightly confused.
"Oh, that's just a Decoration. My Wife uses it to practice Bone-Setting Technique. After all, only consistent Exercise can better help injured people."
Nicholas looked at Brook on the Wall and explained with a smile.
After all, their Statuses are easy to disguise. Even Vistad, a Pony Giant like him, isn't strange in the Pirate World, but a talking Skeleton is too eye-catching. So, after everyone discussed it, Brook became one of the Decorations in the Tavern.
Anyway, his Revive-Revive Fruit Ability doesn't rely on Bones. Even Nicholas thinks the Revive-Revive Fruit Ability is like the Soul-Soul Fruit and Spirit-Spirit Fruit, Abilities focused on the Soul.
And Brook's Status of having died once undoubtedly allows for better Development of the Revive-Revive Fruit.
Therefore, Brook gladly accepted. Of course, the main point was Nicholas telling him that in Soul State, he could go to the women's Bathhouse and see all sorts of beautiful Things.
Kuri, Ida Port.
A Three-Masted Sailing Ship resembling a Giant White Whale was now stranded on the Beach, its Hull tilted. The three Masts on the Ship were broken, the Sails tattered, and the Hull heavily damaged. Clearly, this Large Ship was severely damaged climbing the Waterfall of Wano Country.
"We did climb the Waterfall, right? But why is there still Sea and Islands here?"
"It seems People live on the Island, so we don't need to worry too much about Supplies. I really didn't expect water to get into the Ship Cabin. Most of the Supplies on the Ship are unusable."
"Hahaha, this is my fault. I didn't expect so many Reefs in that Waterfall."
The Navigator said, looking embarrassed.
"Haha, Fart. You Weapon, as Atonement, you're helping us repair the Ship. I just checked the Moby Dick, and she's seriously damaged this time. It'll take at least a Week to get her patched up."
"I'm going to the Island to see if there are any settlements and gather some Supplies. Anyone want to come?"
A hot beauty with sky-blue hair asked everyone with a smile.
"I'll go! I'll go!"
"Me too! Me too!"
"I'm Miss Whitey Bay's Dog."
"I want to go too."
Just then, a Kid with a Pineapple Head raised his hand and said.
"Kid, you stay put. Interns should stay here and help repair the Ship. Good Things like going with Miss Whitey Bay to gather Supplies aren't for you."
"Bista, what are you saying? I'm strong! Don't forget I have the Mythical Zoan Phoenix Ability!"
The Pineapple Head said, looking unwilling.
After sailing the Sea for so long, it's rare to get ashore and stretch your Body. This Opportunity is precious.
"Heh, strong Strength? Who was it that got chased around by a bunch of Flame Chickens last time? Phoenix? More like a Free-Range Chicken, if you ask me."
And with Bista's Words, everyone around burst into Laughter.
"You, you..."
Remembering the Dark History of being chased around by a bunch of Flame Chickens, like Ponies and burning with Flames all over their Bodies, the young Kid's Complexion darkened, and cyan Flames started to erupt from his Body.
"Marco, Military Force isn't for Family."
As Edward Newgate, who was sitting there, spoke, Marco, who had planned to show the Crew members his noble Phoenix Figure, quieted down.
But even though he calmed down, Things clearly weren't over yet.
With a "pia" sound, a Puddle of grayish-white Hot Droppings, tinged with pale green, fell from the Sky.
Then Marco felt his Head getting warm. He reached up, touched it, and his Whole Body just exploded.
And as a group of People laughed, a Bird of Prey circling hundreds of meters in the High Sky glanced down at the People on the Beach with wise little Eyes, then flew off into the distance.
"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! That Dead Bird! I'm gonna kill it!"
Marco watched the Bird of Prey fly away, seething with impotent rage.
"Marco, wipe it off."
A simple, honest Kid standing nearby handed Marco a Rag, gesturing for him to wipe it off.
"Thanks, Joe."
Before Marco could finish, the simple, honest Kid added, "It's got Flavor."
Marco:
"Hahaha, this is our esteemed Phoenix Lord Marco, hahaha."
Watching Marco's Embarrassing Appearance, Bista laughed again. Clearly, having Interns on the Ship had added a lot of Fun.
And Marco, having wiped his Head, looked at Whitebeard with a resentful expression. "Pops, with your Observation Haki, you must have noticed, right? Why didn't you warn me?"
In Marco's mind, it was one thing for Bista and the others not to warn him, but why didn't Whitebeard?
"Marco, People always need to grow. You expect me to warn you on the Battlefield in the future? My lovely Son?"
Whitebeard reached out and ruffled Marco's Pineapple Head, seemingly not minding the Droppings that had just been there.
