Chapter 86

"Master! It's bad, Master! That Navy man is too strong; in the blink of an eye, he killed all our prey!"

Moria, who was dozing on his seat, opened his eyes abruptly: "What? What is that Navy man's name? Is he a Vice Admiral?"

"No, I heard them say he seems to be a Colonel."

Moria grinned: "Heh-hiss-hiss-hiss~ Great, great! I didn't expect a Navy Colonel to be able to easily wipe out a pirate crew with a total bounty of over 100 million. How strong must his shadow be!"

"With him, my plan can finally be realized!"

Absalom scratched his head with lingering fear: "But, Master, that Navy man is really amazing. Why don't we stop bothering him! After all, you are also a Warlord of the Sea, Master!"

This did remind Moria. According to his agreement with the World Government, he couldn't make a move against the Navy, but it wasn't a big problem.

After all, this was the Florian Triangle! Accidents happen... it's normal. As long as he turned all these Navy soldiers into zombies, it would be fine!

How could he let the materials delivered to his door run away!

"Absa, go notify Hogback to get ready. You and Perona take the zombies and deal with the other Navy soldiers immediately. As for that Navy Colonel, I will handle him personally!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Wait a minute!"

Absalom hurriedly turned back to look at Moria: "Master, is there anything else?"

"Absa, how amazing is that Colonel?"

"I don't know. I only saw a flash of blade light, and then those pirates died in a pile. Yes, that Navy man's swordsmanship is very strong; he can release that thing called..."

"Flying slash?"

Absa nodded repeatedly: "Ah yes, yes, yes, that's the thing. It's too terrifying! It can even cut through steel. Luckily I dodged fast, otherwise I would have been cut in two as well."

"Alright, I know. Go quickly!" "Oh, oh!"

After Absalom left, Moria touched his 'neck' (forgive him for not having a chin): "Flying slash, swordsman? That's a bit tricky!"

"But in front of my invincible ability, he is still no match for me, heh-hiss-hiss-hiss!"

The terrifying laughter startled a group of bats, and the empty castle gradually returned to silence.

"His shadow is also quite suitable for the swordsman Ryuma zombie. Sigh~ what a pity, let's give it to Oars instead! Such a powerful shadow cannot be wasted."

"Colonel, this place is too eerie! There wouldn't really be ghosts, would there!"

Nelson gripped his saber tightly, his voice trembling slightly. After walking in from the main gate, there was only a one-way path leading downward. The front was gloomy and invisible, and the ground was covered with bones.

Who wouldn't shiver at the sight?

"Relax! Just some remains, what's there to be afraid of? Look at me, have I ever been afraid?"

"Besides, there are so many of us, could we really be afraid of some ghosts? Are you afraid?"

Nelson shook his head, pretending to be calm: "I'm not afraid!"

Karl patted his adjutant's shoulder with satisfaction. I just love this 'saving face at the cost of suffering' look of yours.

"Roar~"

From the darkness ahead came a faint, low roar, which seemed particularly creepy in the gloomy environment.

Nelson hurriedly raised his gun and aimed it forward: "Co, Colonel, there seems to be some monster calling ahead!"

"Raven, go take a look!"

The Raven on Karl's shoulder flapped its wings and flew forward. After a while...

"Roar oh!! Woof woof woof! Howl!"

A loud roar came from the passage, sounding like a wolf's howl and also like a dog's bark, and there was also the sound of running.

Raven flew toward Karl from the passage ahead, followed by a huge monster.

"Th, three heads! It's the legendary gatekeeper of hell, Cerberus!"

Karl laughed dumbly when he saw the fox head among them. It was just as he had imagined.

Raven transformed directly into a long sword in the air, landing right in Karl's hand. Karl also took the opportunity to slash forward.

"One-Sword Style: Jade Breaker!"

"Howl!!!"

The three-headed dog in front hit the ground with its head with a thud, and its body was split in two. The Navy soldiers behind Karl were also plunged into shock.

"Did you see that? There is nothing to be afraid of! Don't scare yourselves; we are the Navy, and the Navy is fearless!"

"Colonel Karl is right! We are the Navy! We are fearless!"

With this, the fear in the hearts of the Navy soldiers dissipated for the most part. With Colonel Karl here, what else did they have to fear?

"Continue forward!"

Soon, the team walked out of the passage, and what came into view was a cemetery, messy tombstones, and mounds of graves protruding everywhere. It had a bit of that horror movie vibe.

"Oh ah~"

Boom~ Plop!

One pale arm after another crawled out of the graveyard, followed by gaunt heads and bodies, until they completely crawled out, looking at Karl and the others with lifeless eyes.

"Are these zombies? Nelson, shoot one!"

"Yes!"

Nelson suppressed the fear in his heart, aimed at the head of one of the zombies, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet sank directly into the zombie's head, and that zombie let out a howl: "Ah ah ah! So painful!!!"

"Eh! They can talk?" Nelson was stunned!

"Haven't you realized it yet? These aren't zombies; they are just products of a Devil Fruit ability."

Nelson frowned: "Devil Fruit?"

Karl nodded: "That's right! They are all man-made results, so don't be afraid of them. We just need to find the pirate who sneaked in here! If he dares to move against us, heh..."

Nelson immediately understood Karl's meaning and shouted at the soldiers behind him: "Fire! Kill them!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Round after round of musket fire riddled these zombies with holes, but their actions didn't seem to be affected.

Karl scratched his head. The weakness of this thing seemed to be seawater and salt? Forget it, I'd better do it myself.
