Chapter 53

Look closely, this zombie is wriggling.

Just now he was cut in two by Karl's flying slash, and now he could only crawl on the ground, crawling toward his own legs.

Suddenly, Adjutant Nelson stepped on his back and forcibly twisted his neck, a look of fear and disgust appearing in his eyes.

"Ugh! So smelly! I hope Colonel Karl is telling the truth!"

"What do you want to do?"

Nelson didn't answer, directly sprinkling a pinch of sea salt into the zombie's mouth.

"Ah, ah, ah~" While making a sound, the zombie's face also became ferocious.

Soon, a black substance emerged from its mouth, and the zombie completely lost its vitality, becoming a pile of rotten, smelly meat.

Nelson shouted happily: "Sir, it really works!"

Other navy soldiers saw this and overcame the fear in their hearts, one after another finding zombies to feed them salt.

In just a few minutes, the graveyard really became a graveyard.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Karl clapped with satisfaction. "You did very well. Do you still think these zombies are terrifying?"

All the navy soldiers shook their heads and shouted excitedly: "Not terrifying!"

"Very good, then we..." "Ah, ah, ah! Charge! Kill them!!!"

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound. A pile of freaks of various shapes rushed out of the forest in front of the graveyard—there were zombies, animals, white ghosts, and even things Move Move Like knights.

Nelson's pupils shrank, and he roared: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All hands on alert!"

The navy soldiers hurriedly raised their rifles and aimed at the menacing monster army.

"Fire!!!"

Bang, bang, bang~ Bullets shot out, but they had little effect on these freaks, or rather, they weren't afraid of bullets at all.

Karl looked at the tall, thin zombie holding a sword in the monster army and showed a smile. It was so thoughtful, they actually delivered themselves to his door!

This guy Moria is very sensible!

"Colonel, they are about to charge over, bullets don't work on them!"

Nelson looked anxious, and felt a bit helpless in his heart. Their strength was too poor. From setting sail until now, everything had been solved by Colonel Karl alone, and they were completely unable to help Colonel Karl share the pressure.

If Karl knew Nelson's inner thoughts, although he would be very gratified, it was unnecessary.

Giving them a Holy Light BUFF to let them fight was a waste of time and energy, a waste of his time for slacking off; it was better for him to take action directly and solve the battle quickly.

Efficiency is the kingly way.

"Everyone get out of the way!"

After speaking, Karl gripped Raven tightly in his right hand, and Armament Haki instantly covered the blade. After a short charge, he slashed forward suddenly.

A golden crescent-shaped flying slash slashed diagonally toward the monster army; wherever it went, not a blade of grass grew.

Those monsters, which were not very sturdy, were naturally no exception.

"Ah, ah, ah!" "It hurts!" "My head!"

After screams, there were few monsters charging at Karl who could stand. Almost all of them were cut off by Karl's blade, and severed limbs fell all over the ground.

"Such strong swordsmanship! He's actually a master swordsman!"

The swordsman Ryuma zombie looked at Karl with a heavy gaze. Although his current shadow was not Brook, but just an ordinary swordsman, he could still feel Karl's strength.

But as a general zombie, his strength was a big cut above other monsters. Even so, he only barely resisted Karl's flying slash by relying on the sturdiness of the Great Grade sword, Black Blade Shusui.

"Ah! Kumacy!"

A scream came, and a pink-haired Gothic lolita flew out of the woods nearby, heartbrokenly picking up the half-body of the bear-type zombie.

"Perona! Are you crazy? You'll be killed by that navy!"

Absalom's voice came from the woods, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

Perona seemed to be ignited by this sentence, and shouted at Karl: "Damn navy, how dare you hurt Kumacy! I will definitely make you pay the price!"

"Go! Negative Hollow!"

Perona released multiple spiritual clones from her body—white ghosts with sausage mouths—and they rushed toward Karl all at once.

"Negative~ Negative~"

Karl's expression was a bit heavy. Perona's Negative Hollow was that kind of unsolvable control skill. In his heart, it was on the same level as Sugar's Hobby-Hobby Fruit, making him have to take it seriously.

There were so many navy soldiers here; if they were hit, how would he lead the team in the future?

"One-Sword Style: Gold-Destroying Jade-Breaking!"

With two slashes, he drew a cross in the air.

"It's useless! My princess's Negative Hollow is in... vincible, in, eh!!!!"

Looking at the Negative Hollows cut into pieces by Karl, Perona's eyes almost popped out; she had such good facial expressions at a young age.

She really couldn't believe that the Negative Hollows, which even Master Moria couldn't block, were wiped out by Karl in two slashes!

Karl also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Armament Haki was really too useful.

"Ho, how is it possible? My Negative Hollow..."

A flash of light passed through Karl's eyes, and he immediately stepped on the ground, using the Soru technique to approach Perona, preparing to control her.

A black blade stabbed at Karl. Karl's eyes condensed, and he used Raven to flick it away, making a crisp clinking sound.

"Ghost Princess, it's dangerous here, you should leave quickly!"

Perona looked at the General Ryuma zombie, nodded blankly, took a fearful look at Karl, and fled quickly.

"Your swordsmanship is exquisite. I may not be your opponent, but I will definitely go all out."

Karl looked greedily at the Shusui in Ryuma's hand and showed a smile: "How much strength can the corpse of the swordsman Ryuma exert?"

An ordinary shadow, a corpse that wasn't very strong—how strong could it be?

The answer was being killed by Karl in two slashes.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The national treasure of Wano, the Black Blade Shusui of the 21 Great Grade swords—Moria, this guy is really wasting things!"

Karl was very satisfied with this sword; he didn't even need to forge a black blade himself, how convenient!

With the item in hand, Karl immediately prepared to leave.

"Nelson, the escaped pirate is nowhere to be found, we're withdrawing!"

Nelson was stunned, then nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir! Let's go!"

If nothing unexpected happened, the unexpected still happened.

"Heh-hiss-hiss-hiss~ Navy, you destroyed the zombie army I worked so hard to create and still want to leave? Do you really think I, Moria, don't exist?"

A huge bowling ball appeared in front of Karl, and his eyes greedily scanned Karl's body.

He had a purple scallion hairstyle, horns on his head, a tail behind him, a shirt with bat-shaped collars, and Gothic clothing; his legs were short, especially short.

"Th, that face, he is Gecko Moria!"

"Ano, another Warlord of the Sea!
