The Pirate: Throne of Bones

With an idea in mind, Villeless took action decisively.

Empty your mind and get rid of all distracting thoughts in your mind.

At the same time, Velez activated his Devil Fruit ability to the maximum.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

After a while, with Villes as the center, circles of gray ripples visible to the naked eye spread towards the surroundings.

Feeling the current aura on Viles' body, Milena frowned subconsciously.

"What a strong dead air!"

"Villes..."

"...Are you okay?"

Milena, who frowned, focused all her attention on Villes.

At the same time, Milena also secretly mobilized her Devil Fruit ability to prevent Veles from entering any bad state, so that she could wake up Veles as soon as possible.

Velez didn't notice Milena's little movement at all.

At this time, Villeless had fallen into an extremely "mysterious" state.

Well…

In fact, using the word "weird" to describe Villes' current state may be more appropriate.

【This is where? 】

In a daze, Villes felt as if he was in another world.

Desolate, dead, cold, and dark.

Looking around, there are decaying skeletons all around.

"Listen" carefully, there are cries of the dead everywhere.

[Did I travel through time again? 】

When he "saw" the scene "in front of him", Velez's first reaction was that he had traveled through time again.

But soon, Villes dismissed this idea.

Because the world in front of him was like a restricted area of ​​life, Velez felt that with just a little effort, he could collapse the scene in front of him and return to his own body.

[If I hadn’t traveled through time again, then the current situation should be related to my Devil Fruit ability. 】

【Skeletons...Death...】

【Well--】

[Isn’t this special thing about my buddy’s Devil Fruit ability awakening? 】

Thinking of this, Velez suddenly felt a deep stomachache.

What about "being upright and showing holiness in front of others" as promised?

Why are my moves and abilities becoming more and more like a "big villain"?

Tired of heart!

But no matter what the "picture" in front of him is, it is enough to help him transport the gold and silver jewelry in the underground space back to the Warspite.

So, facing the desolate scene in front of him, Villeless shouted deep in his heart - "I'm thinking... I can control the undead!"

boom--! ! !

When Velez's Devil Fruit ability was activated to a certain critical point, a colder, colder, and more evil aura erupted from Velez's body.

"stand up-!"

A low voice, almost word for word, came from Villes's mouth.

Following Verles's "order", the ability of the Bone Fruit increased instantly. With the sufficient physical support that Verles could provide, the surfaces of nearly a thousand corpses in the underground space were covered with a layer of gray.

After a few breaths, on the surface, everything in the underground space returned to normal.

The only thing that was different from before was that Villes was sweating profusely and looked like he was exhausted.

"Villes," seeing what Villes looked like now, Milena came to Villes's side in a flash, supported Villes who was exhausted, her eyes were full of worry, "How do you feel now?" How's it going? Are you okay?"

Faced with Milena's concern, before Villes had time to reply, bursts of heart-wrenching sounds rang out throughout the underground space.

The sound was like scratching glass with fingernails, making people's skin crawl.

Creak, creak, creak...

In the midst of these heart-breaking sounds, stiff figures stood up from the ground.

His eyes were closed, his face was expressionless, and his movements were stiff.

Under the influence of Verles' Devil Fruit ability, all the gang members that Milena had killed before were turned into zombies, waiting for orders from the master of Verles.

"Get all those things and follow me."

With Milena's support, Villes, who had regained some strength, pointed at the pile of gold and silver treasures inside the underground space, and gave instructions to the zombies in front of him to work quickly.

"Villes, your Devil Fruit power has awakened?"

Looking at the vast group of working zombies in front of her, Milena looked at Villes with some surprise.

Milena knew that Veles had been studying the issue of Devil Fruit awakening.

just now…

"No, this is not a devil fruit power awakening."

Before Milena could be happy for a few minutes, Villes took the initiative to explain the current situation.

"Although I don't know what my Devil Fruit abilities will look like after awakening, it certainly won't be what it is now."

Raising his hand and pointing at the zombies who were carrying gold and silver treasures, Verles continued to explain to Milena, "These so-called zombies are just forced to move under the influence of my Devil Fruit ability."

"No IQ, slow in action."

"To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of movable skeletons with meat hanging on them."

"It's not even worth being used as cannon fodder, so it's just used as a free coolie to transport some things."

After finishing his words, looking at Milena's somewhat confused eyes, Villes thought for a while and continued, "Don't worry, Milena."

"Although this move is of little use and cannot play a decisive role in the battle."

"However, after developing this move, I was on the verge of awakening the Bone Fruit."

"I believe that when I develop the Bone Fruit to the point of awakening, the zombies who stand up again can become qualified high-level cannon fodder!"

For Velez, if the scene he just "saw" was really related to the awakening of the Bone Fruit.

So, on the road to realizing the awakening of the Bone Fruit, Verless is now [-]% sure that he can successfully awaken his Devil Fruit ability.

After resting for a short while, feeling that his physical strength was almost restored and enough to cope with various emergencies, Villes and Milena, together with a group of zombies who could only serve as coolies, headed towards the city under the cover of night. Rush to the location of the Warspite.

Perhaps it was because of the night, or perhaps because of the path Milena chose, but nothing unexpected happened during the return to the Warspite.

At most, you will encounter some blind guys who want to take advantage of the situation.

This little miscellaneous fish can be easily crushed to death.

After transporting all the money in the underground space to the Warspite, Villes controlled the zombies and returned to New Ross Island, heading to the manor where the nobleman Villes wanted to deal with lived.

At the gate of the noble's manor, Verles removed his Devil Fruit ability.

In an instant, nearly a thousand zombies turned into corpses, blocking the entrance to the noble manor.
