Chapter 363
So... he wasn't some Vice-Captain who lost his memory, just... just that person’s shadow?
"I... I understand. So, as long as I eat salt, the ability will be undone. And the shadow will return to his side, right?" Lina said.
Brook was slightly surprised. "That is true, but this is the first time I’ve seen a zombie voluntarily return a shadow."
"Probably because I haven't been completely controlled yet. While I still can, before I cause you all more trouble, I should eat the salt and undo the ability."
Lina was trying his best to smile, but it was a bitter smile.
"Mr. Brook, please give me the salt."
"...I understand." Brook was silent for a moment, then took out a bag of salt.
Lina reached out his hand, waiting for the salt to be placed in his palm.
He was so weak.
He couldn't help with anything.
He could only watch helplessly as they were captured one by one.
He could only watch helplessly as Franky and Robin were caught by the spider.
And the only thing he could do was use this immortal body to climb up again and again.
That Lord Lord Sima Di must be very strong, right?
If he could help them, that would be great.
This feeling of powerlessness.
It’s really terrible.
Lina took the small salt bag, lifted it, and slowly raised it.
As long as he put this thing in his mouth.
He would... die, right?
"Wait!"
Just as the salt bag was about to be put into his mouth, Franky’s voice came to his ears. At the same time, a hand appeared like a blooming flower on Lina’s wrist, took the salt bag, and threw it to the ground.
"Eh? You guys?" Lina looked at the two in surprise.
"Lina, even if you were flicked away seven or eight times just now, your intention to save us was real, right?" Franky said.
Lina was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
"As expected, I can't bear to watch someone who is desperately trying to save us commit suicide in front of us," Robin said with a smile.
"That’s right!" Franky nodded and said, "Anyway, you don't look very strong, and even if you were controlled, we could expel you immediately. So... it’s not too late to wait until then."
Lina suddenly had the urge to cry, but no tears flowed out.
"Yeah, thank you."
On Law’s side.
Law raised his eyebrows, looking at the three guys in front of him who had been ruined by the Negative Hollow.
"Straw Hat Luffy, swordsman Zoro, and... this should be Black Leg Sanji, right?" Law couldn't help but laugh. "So, besides Lord Lord Sima Di, the other three high-bounty guys in this pirate crew have already gloriously sacrificed themselves?"
"Gloriously... sacrificed themselves!!!" Merry’s face turned pale with fright.
Speaking of which, after Law and Merry planned to return, they came back to the place where the Mini Merry II was docked.
Although Law planned to set off again to find Lord Lord Sima Di, Merry said he had to find Sunny first before he could be at ease.
Sunny? Law didn't remember anyone by that name in the Straw Hat Pirates.
Then Merry gave him a look like he was looking at an idiot.
"Sunny is a ship! My lord! It’s a term of endearment! Do you understand terms of endearment?"
Fine, fine, term of endearment it is. Law didn't want to argue with a kid at all.
So the two searched along the shore and finally found the docked Sunny at the back door of Thriller Bark.
As soon as he got on the ship, Law saw the messy state the ship had been turned into.
No need to think to know that this ship had already been ransacked by Perona’s subordinates.
Law searched a little and saw the three of them placed in the kitchen in such a comical manner.
"Not sacrificed, they are just unconscious. It looks like their shadows were just extracted by the ability," Law said.
"Eh? Shadows extracted? Then that’s the same as Brook?" Merry was surprised.
"Brook... it seems you have already met that funny skeleton," Law said.
"My lord, have you also met that skeleton who loves to look at people’s pants?"
"...I didn't know Brook-ya had such a magical hobby."
As the two were talking, they heard noisy sounds approaching.
"Someone’s coming." Law took Kikoku, which he had been carrying on his shoulder, into his hand.
On Lord Lord Sima Di’s side...
Kamai was running wildly with Lord Lord Sima Di at top speed.
Should Lord Lord Sima Di say he finally experienced the feeling of sitting outside a high-speed train?
Because Kamai was carrying Lord Lord Sima Di horizontally, more than eighty percent of the wind force was borne by Lord Lord Sima Di.
The whistling wind scraped Lord Lord Sima Di’s face painfully; he estimated this was maintenance that dozens of face masks couldn't replace.
Lord Lord Sima Di suddenly felt that someone... or rather, a zombie, had appeared within his Modeling Domain. It seemed to be chasing Kamai, but because Kamai’s speed was too fast, that zombie was gradually being left behind.
"Hey, hey, hey, wait, Kamai, stop!" Lord Lord Sima Di patted Kamai’s shoulder. "Look! It seems one of your kind has caught up."
"Kind?" Kamai braked at high speed, leaving a deep trench on the ground.
Taking the opportunity, Lord Lord Sima Di quickly jumped off Kamai.
This zombie is simply a lunatic! After finding Luffy and the others, he must stay far away from him! Or just let him go play with Zoro!
Before long, the zombie Lord Lord Sima Di had sensed caught up to them.
Lord Lord Sima Di looked closely. Eh? Isn't this the masked zombie he saw earlier with the binoculars? The big guy with a long sword on his back?
"Oh, it’s Tuka," Kamai said with his hands on his hips. "Is something the matter? You were chasing pretty hard."
"Master Absalom’s wedding is about to begin; gather all General Zombies to attend the wedding."
1.0
Tuka’s voice was deep and magnetic, and Lord Lord Sima Di liked it immediately.
Although Lord Lord Sima Di wasn't a voice-control person, he still couldn't resist a voice similar to Law’s.
"Eh? It’s a wedding. That lecherous guy..." Kamai showed a look of disgust. "But I have to go."
Speaking of Absalom’s wedding, Lord Lord Sima Di remembered that the object of the wedding was Facing Facing Nami. And in order to hold the wedding, this guy had gathered most of the General Zombies in the auditorium, which led to Luffy and the others not having enough military force for their second attack.
And later, in order to stop Luffy’s shadow zombie, Oars, they all went out in full force, and as a result, these General Zombies were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Poor General Zombies, clearly none of them were lacking in strength, but they met the wrong people at the wrong time and became cannon fodder in the true sense of the word.
"Then I’ll go with you too," Lord Lord Sima Di thought for a moment and said.
Going to the auditorium and saving Facing Facing Nami by the way should be no problem; after all, his "beyond Observation Haki" was the perfect counter to the Clear-Clear Fruit’s ability, especially the Modeling Domain, which simply ate the Clear-Clear Fruit for breakfast.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Kamai suddenly roared, giving Lord Lord Sima Di a fright.
"You’re so cute! If Master Absalom sees you, he’ll definitely snatch you away! Kamai absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen!"
Lord Lord Sima Di broke into a cold sweat. "The only one who thinks I’m cute is you, right? Others won't think so; after all, aesthetics are different. Um, Tuka, you don't think so, right?"
Unexpectedly, when Lord Lord Sima Di asked this, Tuka actually shifted his gaze away from Lord Lord Sima Di and said in a muffled voice.
"I agree with Kamai."
Lord Lord Sima Di was helpless. So he was very popular among zombies? But he didn't feel happy at all.
"See! Tuka thinks so too! So you can't go to the wedding! It’s a dangerous place! You just go back to that building from before! That’s where I live! If anyone gives you trouble, just report my name, Kamai! They won't touch you!" Kamai said.
"Then... fine." Lord Lord Sima Di could only compromise.
Subsequently, Kamai and Tuka left. Lord Lord Sima Di watched them leave and disappear from sight, then continued forward.
"As if I’d listen to you," Lord Lord Sima Di muttered.
Sunny.
At this time, Usopp and Chopper had already joined up with Robin and the others. The five had just arrived at the Sunny, and the Sunny had become very chaotic because of those zombies.
