Arkham in the pirate world

The flickering lamps spread all the way to the depths of Pluto's cabin, and the sound of Liszt's footsteps was particularly loud in this empty space.

He walked slowly and leisurely. In addition to the previous nine paintings, the other paintings in the corridor also had very distinct characteristics of the times. They described some of the things Pluto experienced and showed some characteristics of the times.

Among them, there are scenes of Pluto docking at Shantora, scenes of Pluto sailing in the deep sea, etc.

Finally, the light of the lamp reached the end, and Liszt's footsteps stopped. Right opposite him, there was a throne made of twisted branches.

At this time, on the throne, there was a skeleton wearing a royal robe and a crown.

The skeleton was leaning forward, holding his chin with one hand and supporting the throne with his elbow, making a posture of gazing forward. Even though he was dead, he still gave Liszt a look of a king without mercy, and he still sat high like a king. Standing, the momentum is overwhelming.

This skeleton must have been a very powerful person during his lifetime, no less powerful than the Four Emperors.

Right in front of the skeleton's feet, there was a shield, which was a rhombus-shaped silver shield with an extremely ancient style. In the center of the shield, there was a red rhombus-shaped gemstone inlaid.

Following Liszt's gaze, the rhombus-shaped gem suddenly flashed a strange red color, and then, a red circular light mask stretched out, instantly covering the entire space, forming a barrier filled with strange red light.

Then, the skeleton on the throne suddenly moved.

Yes, it moved a bit

Liszt was not mistaken. The skeleton sat upright. The skeleton's eyes glowed red and looked at Liszt.

If this kind of super supernatural event appeared in the eyes of ordinary people, they would have been frightened and screamed.

Liszt is very calm, very supernatural?

He has also seen the talking skeleton Brook, Charlotte Lingling who can play with souls and create various special lives, sugar that can turn people into toys, and the extremely evil Seven-Star Sword. Compared with these, ancient people like Pluto Weapons, if nothing unusual happens, that’s the most abnormal thing, right?

"Thousands of years have passed, and someone has come here again. I am the great king of Alabasta, Emperor Neferutali I. Kneel down to me and I will give you wealth, strength, fame and everything you want. Kneel down.”

A misty voice sounded as the skull's mouth opened and closed.

"Haha, you're crazy," Liszt said speechlessly.

"Ah, who are you scolding? How dare you scold me? Do you know who I am? I am the owner of this land. I will call an army of ten million to destroy you in every minute." The skeleton said angrily.

"Oh, you mean the Kingdom of Alabasta seems to have been destroyed?" Liszt said.

"what"

The skeleton's jaw dropped to the ground.

"I'm curious about your relationship with the Seven Star Sword," Liszt asked.

The chinless skeleton was stunned for a moment.

"What the Seven Star Sword?"

"In the ancient legend of Arcas Island, the gods gave shields and swords, but now on Arcas Island, only the swords are left. So, where did the shield go?"

"There are records on Akas Island that the ancestors of the Neferutali family once went to Akas Island, and such a shield appeared in such a place, and he claimed to be Emperor Nefertari I."

Liszt shrugged slightly and said, "It's hard not to make people think."

The surroundings became quiet, and Liszt was not in a hurry. He waited quietly. After a while, the chinless skeleton sat down.

"Young man, it seems that you know a lot. Yes, I was given the divine shield of King Arcas by the gods. Are you afraid?"

"Since you and the Seven-Star Sword were both given by the gods, then why was the Seven-Star Sword sealed by Arcas Island, but you were taken away by the ancestors of the Neferutali family?" Liszt asked doubtfully.

"Of course I am better than him, hahaha. Needless to say, I am the only shield of God in the world that can withstand Pluto's bombardment. It is much more useful than that broken sword, hahaha."

Liszt suddenly asked, "Are you the devil fruit activated, or are you another life form?"

"What is a devil fruit?"

"Just like this" Liszt's body shape changed and he said, "I am a human. After eating the Devil Fruit, I have the ability to transform into other life forms. According to our scientists' inference, the Seven-Star Sword of Arcas Island is also a fusion A special weapon awakened after possessing the Devil Fruit."

"Vampire? Hehehehe, do you call him a devil fruit?"

"Oh it has another name"

"Sacred fruits and divine fruits are names from ancient times. Those who gain life from them will gain incredible power and are revered as gods. Weapons that incorporate this power are called artifacts."

Liszt raised his eyebrows and said, "So, devil fruits, no, holy fruits, have appeared in ancient times. How did they come into being?"

The skeleton glanced at Liszt and said, "I'm just a shield. Even if I generate wisdom, I'm just a shield. I can't answer questions like yours. However, according to legend, it is related to a sacred tree."

sacred tree

Liszt immediately thought of the giant tree in the portrait in the corridor outside.

"There is another question. Why does the sealed Seven-Star Sword become particularly evil, but you have reason?"

"Idiot, of course it's because we fused different magical fruits."

The shield leaning against the throne twisted, and soon turned into a dark cat. It spoke human words, "That broken sword is fused with the fruit of desire. The life affected by it will be... Infinitely amplified. Because of its characteristics, it caused several wars, and was finally incorporated into the sword by the gods."

"That sword, like this broken ship, is a symbol of disaster and will bring disaster and misfortune to the world."

"Is this ship also a devil fruit?"

"That's not true. It's just that this is a ship of betrayers. According to legend, the betrayal started when it first set sail, so it was cursed by all the races. Anyway, those who get it will not end well in the end. Look at this Neferutari I, who was once the overlord of one party, and didn’t he die here in the end.”

"I don't think it's that scary. What's really scary is the human heart, those who control it."

Liszt smiled faintly, not to mention that he didn't trust this shield cat that much.

At least, it is not a wise move to jump to conclusions when the situation is unclear.
