Chapter 439

So... he is not a vice-captain who lost his memory, but merely... merely that person's shadow?

"I... I understand. So, if I eat salt, the ability will be lifted. And the shadow will return to him, right?" Lina said.

Brook was slightly surprised. "That is true, but this is the first time I have seen a zombie who voluntarily returns his shadow."

"Probably because I have not been fully controlled yet. While I still haven't caused everyone greater trouble, I should eat the salt sooner rather than later to lift the ability."

Lina tried her best to smile, but her smile was bitter.

"Mr. Brook, please give me the salt."

"... I understand." Brook fell silent for a moment, then took out a bag of salt.

Lina extended her hand, waiting for the salt to be placed in her palm.

He was so weak.

Unable to help in any way.

Could only watch helplessly as one by one they were taken away.

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 get up again and again.

That Sima Di must be very strong, right?

If he could help them, that would be wonderful.

This feeling of powerlessness.

Is truly terrible.

Lina took the small bag of salt, lifted the bag, and slowly raised it.

If I just put this thing in my mouth.

He will... die, right?

"Wait!"

Just as the bag of salt was about to go into her mouth, Franky's voice came to her ear. At the same time, a hand bloomed like a flower at Lina's wrist, took the bag of salt, and threw it to the ground.

"Eh? You two?" Lina looked at the two in surprise.

"Even if you were knocked away seven or eight times just now, your heart wanting to save us was real, right?" Franky said.

Lina paused for a moment, but still nodded.

"As I thought, I still cannot bear to watch someone who is desperately trying to save us commit suicide right before our eyes," Robin said with a smile.

"That's right!" Franky nodded and said, "Anyway, you don't seem very strong. Even if you were controlled, we could expel you immediately. So... waiting until that time is not too late."

Lina suddenly felt like crying, but no tears flowed out.

"Mm, thank you."

On the other side.

Law raised an eyebrow, looking at the three people in front of him who had been messed up by the Negative Ghosts.

"Straw Hat Luffy, Swordsman Zoro, and... this one should be Black Leg Sanji, right?" Law couldn't help but laugh. "So besides Ma Di, the three high-bounty pirates in this pirate crew have already gloriously sacrificed themselves?"

"Gloriously... sacrificed themselves!!!" Merry's small face turned pale in shock.

Speaking of which, after Law and Merry planned to return, they came again to the place where the Mini Merry was moored.

Although Law intended to set sail again to search for Sima Di, Merry said he could only feel at ease after finding Sunny first.

Sunny? Law did not remember such a person in the Straw Hat Pirates.

Then Merry gave a look as if looking at a Bai Chi.

"Sunny is a ship, old man! It's a nickname! Do you understand nickname?"

Fine, fine, a nickname is a nickname. Law did not want to argue with a kid at all.

So the two searched along the coast, and finally found the moored Sunny at the back door of the Thriller Bark.

As soon as they boarded the ship, Law saw the ship in a complete mess.

No need to think to know that this ship had already been ransacked by Perona's subordinates.

After searching a little, Law saw the three of them placed in the kitchen, arranged in such a ridiculous manner.

"Not sacrificed, they are just unconscious. It seems their shadows were just extracted by the ability," Law said.

"Eh? Shadows extracted? Then it's the same as Brook?" Merry was surprised.

"Brook... it seems you have already met that funny skeleton," Law said.

"Old man, have you also seen that skeleton who loves watching people's pants?"

"... I did not know that the head of the Brook family had such a magical hobby."

While the two were talking, they heard noisy sounds approaching here.

"Someone is coming." Law took the Onigiri from his shoulder into his hand.

On the side of Sima Di.....

Kamai was holding Sima Di and running madly at the fastest speed.

Should we say that Sima Di finally experienced the feeling of sitting outside a special express train?

Because Kamai was holding Sima Di horizontally, more than eighty percent of the wind force was borne by Sima Di.

The whistling wind scraped Sima Di's face until it stung; this was probably a skincare treatment that even dozens of face masks could not buy.

Sima Di suddenly felt that a person... or rather a zombie had appeared within the modeling domain. He seemed to be chasing Kamai, but because Kamai's speed was too fast, that zombie was gradually left behind.

"Hey hey hey, wait, Kamai, stop!" Sima Di patted Kamai's shoulder. "Look quickly! It seems one of your kind is catching up."

"One of my kind?" Kamai braked at high speed, leaving a deep trench on the ground.

Taking this opportunity, Sima Di quickly jumped off Kamai.

This zombie is simply a madman! After finding Luffy and the others, I must stay far away from him! Or just let him go play with Zoro!

Before long, the zombie Sima Di had sensed caught up with them.

Sima Di squinted and said, "Eh? Isn't this the masked zombie I saw earlier through the telescope? The big guy with the long blade on his back?"

"Oh, it's Tuka," Kamaei said, hands on her hips. "What's up? You're chasing pretty hard."

"Lord Absalom's wedding is about to begin. All General Zombies must assemble to attend the wedding."

Tuka's voice was deep and magnetic, instantly making Sima Di like him.

Although Sima Di was not a voice-fetishist, he still could not resist a voice similar to Law's.

"Eh? It's a wedding? That lecherous guy..." Kamaei made a disgusted expression. "But I have no choice but to go."

Speaking of Absalom's wedding, Sima Di remembered that the bride was Nami. Moreover, this guy had gathered most of the General Zombies in the hall to hold the wedding, which is why Luffy and the others' second attack lacked sufficient military strength.

Later, to stop Luffy's shadow zombie Oars, they mobilized in full force, and in the blink of an eye, these General Zombies were wiped out completely.

Poor General Zombies. Each one was not lacking in strength, but they met the wrong person at the wrong time, becoming cannon fodder A, B, C, and D in the truest sense.

"Then I'll go with you," Sima Di said after thinking for a moment.

Saving Nami on the way to the hall should be no problem; after all, his Advanced Observation Haki perfectly counters the ability of the Transparent Fruit, especially in the modeling domain, where it utterly dominates the Transparent Fruit.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Kamaei suddenly shouted, startling Sima Di.

"You're so cute! If Lord Absalom sees you, he will definitely snatch you away! Kamaei absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!"

Sima Di broke out in cold sweat. "Only you would think I'm cute, right? Others wouldn't feel that way, since our standards of beauty differ. Uh, Tuka, you don't feel that way either, do you?"

Unexpectedly, when Sima Di asked this, Tuka shifted his gaze away from Sima Di and said in a muffled voice.

"I agree with Kamaei."

Sima Di was helpless. So he was popular among zombies? But he didn't feel happy at all.

"See! Tuka thinks so too! So you cannot go to the wedding! That is a dangerous place! Go back to the building we were just at! 14 That is where I live! If anyone tries to trouble you, just give my name, Kamaei! They won't touch you!" Kamaei said.

"Then... alright," Sima Di could only compromise.

Afterwards, Kamaei and Tuka left. Sima Di watched them depart until they disappeared from sight, then continued forward.

"Only a ghost would listen to you," Sima Di muttered.

Sunny.

At this moment, Usopp and Chopper had already reunited with Robin and the others. The five had just arrived at the Sunny, which had become extremely chaotic due to those zombies.
