Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 285 The Ghost Ship in the Mysterious Sea

The Thousand Suns, which escaped the storm, came to a dark sea area, where there was thick fog covering the sea water, heavy dark clouds covering the sky and the sun, and the darkness where the exit could not be seen.It was clear that the sky was sunny a few minutes ago, but it seemed to be a dark night when we arrived here.The thick fog and dark clouds make it impossible to see the surrounding scenery, and can barely make out the outlines of objects tens of meters away.

"Although we passed through the storm, what's going on with this sea?" Sauron looked at the gloomy sea area around him, "It's obviously not dark yet, but it's eeriely dark because of the thick fog."

"Ah, I quite like this kind of atmosphere~~", Anke smiled and hugged Luffy's neck, saying that this kind of environment is pretty good~
Thinking of something, Nami walked to the crowded place with a little fear, "Could it be that we have entered that sea area? I'm not ready yet~"

Because Nami's vibrato was due to excitement, Usopp said with a smile: "Have you arrived at Murloc Island so soon?"

"No, before that, we have to go through a haunted sea~~~", Luffy suddenly lowered his head and let the straw hat cover his eyes, smiling strangely.Encore on the side cooperatively cut the ability to the first one, and then a bunch of will-o'-the-wisps were floating.

"That's right, don't take it lightly~~~ After all, this sea area is the famous one~~", Franky also had a gloomy face telling ghost stories, and said word by word: "Magic, magic, three, horn, The land, the belt~~ No matter what, it is a mysteriously missing sea area..."

"Ghost...Ghost...Ghost...", Usopp, who was so frightened that his heartbeat was about to stop, turned his head stiffly not to look at Franky's sinister face, but when he turned his head, he saw the ghost fire that was almost stuck in front of him .

"Ah! Ghost!!!!", the sniper was so frightened that he hugged his head and fled everywhere. The repeated screams made Chopper, who was trembling with fear while hugging Sauron's legs, almost go into shock.

"Hahaha, this is Encore's illusion, Usopp~~", the laughing captain grabbed the will-o'-the-wisps with one paw, and the strange sparks disappeared immediately.

Encore, who succeeded in pranking, changed the number in his left eye back to the habitual word 'six', and said with a smile: "Usopp, you are still as timid as ever~~"

"That's not your fault for scaring me!!", the sniper who regained his composure immediately roared, "What's more, I've never heard of this before!!"

"Grandma Ke Keluo told us~~, I heard that there are still living skeletons~~", Luffy, who has always believed in this, looked at the person he was holding with a smile, "Right? Encore~~"

"Yeah." After nodding, the young mate began to grab her short hair and start to stare blankly.

"Live... living bones...", the sniper, who was frightened out of his body again, looked at the few bold people around him and began to blow.

"Look at you, don't scare him." The cook said soft words, but he lit a match with a bad temper, put it in front of him, and after creating a ghost effect, he began to frighten others in a gloomy way: "It is said Every year, more than 100 ships mysteriously disappear here, and there are ghost ships carrying the dead wandering around~~”

"Ah!! Tell me about this kind of thing earlier!!!" Usopp covered his head in fright and rushed into the room directly, "I want to arm myself with monster-killing props!!"

"Usopp, lend me some use!!" Chopper, who had been so frightened for a long time, immediately followed him into the room.

"It's a nice atmosphere, why are they so scared?" Encore, who couldn't understand, looked at their door, pouted and was about to sleep in the captain's comfortable arms.But suddenly he straightened his body, and quickly looked to the corner of the right side of the ship, "Who?!"

Hearing her voice, the people on the deck immediately became vigilant.Luffy stepped back a few steps away from the man in his arms, while Zoro and Sanji quickly blocked them behind, while Franky, Robin, and Nami carefully stepped back behind Luffy and them.

After staring at the corner with nothing there for a while, I still didn't see anything strange.Sauron asked in a low voice while guarding the other side: "Is there anything, Encore?"

"I felt a very annoying sight, but it's gone now. We were indeed being watched." Anke glanced at the corner, and then looked towards the stern of the Qianyang, "and, since just now, it has been We can faintly hear singing, and it's getting closer to us."

"Singing??", the few people who obviously didn't hear any singing didn't doubt Anke's words, but listened attentively with their ears up, and then...

'Yohoho~~~yoohoo~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

"..." After a collective silence for a while, everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

"Look, there is indeed a sound, right?" Encore calmly
"Hmm, maybe it's a living skeleton~~" Luffy was excited

, the calm Anke tilted his head and looked back, and said calmly: "There is a boat coming."

The group tilted their heads and looked back. Except for Encore and Robin who were calmer, everyone else had expressions of horror, including Usopp and Chopper who poked their heads out of the room when they heard the singing.

A ship several times the size of the Qianyang is slowly approaching. The dilapidated hull, torn canvas, and dead moss seem to blend into this dense fog. It is hard to believe that this is normal. ships used by people.From the Qianyang, it can be seen that on the ship string 8 or 9 meters higher than the Qianyang, a slender white skeleton is leaning on a steaming teacup, wearing a dark purple suit and a blue bow tie The exploding skull faces them, as if watching them.

"Ah!!! Ghost ship!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Immediately there were screams on the Thousand Suns, among which Usopp and Chopper were the most.Except for Anke and Robin, who showed slightly surprised expressions, everyone else looked stunned and opened their mouths wide.

And that series of low-pitched singing voices are still faintly ringing
'Yo hoo hoo~~~yo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~~~~'

"Ah!! What kind of singing is this!!!", Nami, who was frightened and crying, covered her ears in fear, trying to avoid those weird singing.

"It's the boat song of the evil spirits! Don't listen, plug your ears!!" Usopp, who was so frightened that he was out of his mind, covered his ears tightly, and shouted with cold sweat on his face: "You will be cursed! The ghosts talk to you Don’t bother, you’ll be dragged into the sea if you answer!!”

"No!!!", Chopper decisively tightened the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, preventing himself from seeing the ghost ship.

The huge ship has come to the right side of Qianyang, and the tatters of the hull can be seen more clearly when it is closer.It's just that the movement of the skeleton has already placed the teacup in front of the gloomy white teeth, and the singing continued after a pause, 'yo ho ho ho ~~~ yo ho ho ho ho~~~~~~~~~~~~ '

"Who's on the boat?" Robin frowned slightly, unable to hide his nervousness.

"Hmph, if it's an enemy, kill him." Sauron regained his composure and pulled out the knife a little bit, and a gleam of cold light flashed across the cold knife.

The unusually calm Encore stared at the skeleton and moved the teacup from his gums super slowly. The corner of his mouth twitched and he whispered, "The great route is really omnipresent..."

The singing stopped suddenly, facing their skeletons, the white gums suddenly opened and closed, as if human beings were speaking, and the singing sounded again, and this time I heard the lyrics:

'Pinx's fine wine~ I'll send it here~~~~'

After a pause in the singing, the skeleton took a sip from the teacup under everyone's incredulous gazes, and then continued to sing the melody that appeared at the beginning, 'yo ho ho ho ~~~ yo ho ho ho ho ho~~~~~~~~~~~ ~'

The giant ship passed Qianyang along the current and continued to sail forward, and the misty singing continued.

Luffy immediately came back to his senses and said excitedly, "Did you see that? The skeleton is singing~~"

Usopp and Chopper, who were immediately startled, desperately shook their heads in denial, and shouted in unison: "Idiot! How can a skeleton sing?! It's an auditory hallucination!! Or it's an illusion!!"

"It's not an illusion~~ Hey, you saw Encore Encore too, right??" Luffy, with adventure stars shining all over his body, looked at the child in his arms excitedly, "Let's go, let's go~~~ It looks so fun~~"

"Well, okay. I'm also very interested in that skeleton~~" Anke nodded in agreement, and then held the crystal lottery made with his ability in his right hand, "However, the Qianyang needs people to stay behind, so we will draw lots to decide Let's see who goes on that ship~~"

"Why is there a lottery?? Whoever wants to go can go..." Nami obviously didn't want to go to that ship, after all, she was so scared that she couldn't shed tears.Usopp, who was also terrified, nodded desperately
"Do you really think so?" Sauron turned his head and motioned them to look at the side of the giant ship. There were already other people standing on it besides the four of them.

"Ah, are you three going to stay here?" Encore leaned on Luffy's shoulder and looked back at them, shaking the crystal in his hand with a sly smile, "You have great courage~~"

"Indeed." Sauron nodded in agreement, raised his legs and walked towards the side of the ship.

Chopper, who was afraid of being left here by them, immediately flew up, grabbed Sauron's scabbard and gave in tearfully, "Please let us draw lots!!"

Usopp, who climbed down and grabbed Chopper, also looked tearfully at Zoro, who dragged the three of them away and could move forward with ease, "Everyone wants to keep the three of us, should we all go??"

"I draw, I draw lots..." Nami, who was lying on the ground holding Usopp, shed two wide tears and nodded resignedly.

结果
Except for Luffy, who couldn't be persuaded, everyone else drew lots, and Sanji, Nami, and Chopper decisively won the bid.

".", Anke silently hooked Luffy's neck with one hand, and held the short crystal stick with the other hand, and lengthened it openly under the eyes of everyone.

"It's too obvious that you cheated..." Sauron looked at Encore proudly holding the crystal pick with a little shame. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his legs feel heavy, and then the navigator and the ship doctor came. The cry for help: "Zoro, help me! I don't want to go there!!"

"Who told you to be so lucky?" Sauron
"No! I don't want this kind of luck!!", Nami
"Yeah yeah!! Go instead of me!!", Chopper
Just as the sky and the ground are screaming here, there are already discussions on how to get there.

"Should it be a matter of course to row a boat?", Frankie

"It's so troublesome, can't we just build a bridge over there?" An Ke raised his right hand that had turned into a crystal and shook it.

"I can just jump over with Encore~~", Lu Fei, who jumped on the spot, smiled and hugged the person in his arms tightly, without the feeling that he had hugged her for a long time.

"Idiot, what shall we do after you and the cutie pass by?" Sanji bit his cigarette and gave him a white look, then looked at the distance between the two boats and the steady water flow and agreed to Encore's suggestion, " It's better to let the little cutie build a bridge to go across."

"Very good! Come on!" The sniper was extremely brave because he didn't have to go there by himself and there were powerful people on board.

"Hehe," Robin who had been paying attention to the top suddenly smiled, and then pointed to the ship, "I don't know why, the skeleton just now disappeared~~"

Hearing this, Sanji also looked up, but he really didn't see the skeleton just now, "Could it be because of the angle?"

"Disappeared, disappeared..." Usopp shivered back, then rushed into the room screaming with his hands up, "Ah! Ghost!!"

Completely ignoring the terrified sniper, Luffy turned around excitedly and couldn't wait to say: "It's definitely a living skeleton!! Encore Encore Encore, hurry up, hurry up~~~"

"Okay~~", Anke leaned down and put his hands on the ship's side. The crystal that surged out in the next second was quickly connected to the giant ship opposite, and then the steps slowly appeared.After forming a two-meter-wide staircase, Anke withdrew his right hand, "It's fine."

"Oh! Adventure~~~", the guy who couldn't wait for a long time hugged his deputy captain excitedly and ran down the crystal stairs, even though he almost fell down because of the slippery way, it didn't affect his interest.

"Oops, if Luffy does something on it, cutie won't stop him." Seeing the two people who were about to go to the giant ship, Sanji gritted his teeth and rushed up, and by the way greeted the two people behind. Two people who still don't want to accept their fate, "Miss Nami, Chopper! Hurry up! We need to watch Luffy so that he doesn't do anything messy!"

"Oh...", the two people who had nowhere to ask for help came slowly to the crystal staircase, and then slowly climbed up, mourning their miserable fate helplessly.

Zoro and the others watched Nami and Chopper walking up the stairs in a super funny posture, perhaps it should be said that they were half lying on the stairs and rubbing up step by step.

"It's almost there~~", Luffy at the front has almost reached the side of the giant ship, his smiling face is full of eager excitement and adventure.Enke, who didn't have to walk during the whole process, yawned lazily, and then went into a daze with a blank mind. .

Then at this moment, the unseen skeleton suddenly appeared at the end of the crystal stairs, and stared closely at the few people who were climbing up the stairs with the two black holes that were originally eyes.

Lu Fei stopped abruptly, with a smile on his face, and he looked at the skeleton a few meters away without blinking.Encore, who was used to corpse skeletons for a long time, just glanced at the afro skull calmly, and then yawned lazily, expressing that he just wanted to sleep now.

Sanji also stopped on the smooth crystal, clenched the cigarette butt in his mouth and looked at the skeleton, a few drops of cold sweat could not help but flow down his face.

Nami and Chopper, who were already lying on the stairs, kept trembling and slid down trembling, trying to stay away from there.

As if disturbed by the breath of a stranger, the skeleton slowly opened its white teeth, and then a burst of singing came out of its 'mouth', "yohohoho~~yohooo~~~~~~~ "

Nami and Chopper, whose psychological defense line collapsed again, screamed, "Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compared to the surprised and frightened people, Anke looked at the skeleton blocking the way super calmly and said, "If you don't mind, can you let me go? Mr. Bones. We are about to go up."

As if it understood her words, the skeleton did not continue humming, but retreated until the side of the ship covered its figure.

"Okay, let's continue~~", Anke said to the person who was hugging her with a smile, and then turned to look at Nami and Chopper who were completely lying on the stairs, "Hurry up, both of you, after going up, I will You have to untie the crystal, otherwise it will be troublesome if the two ships collide."

Different from the extremely calm vice-captain, Nami and Chopper nodded stiffly, and then climbed up like snails with a heroic mood, climbing up in the real sense...
