Pirates: I, who cultivated phantom beasts, made myself emperor

"My name is Cheng Cheng. I am the captain of the Black Justice Pirates."

After Cheng Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the castle. In addition to taking Sauron back this time, he also had to complete a sign-in task in the castle.

Perona was shocked and turned pale. She sat on the ground and looked at Cheng Cheng like she was petrified. She finally remembered and said in shock: "You are the fifth emperor, Cheng Cheng?"

After Sauron recovered, he followed Cheng Cheng towards the castle without saying a word.

Perona quickly got up and followed him. She didn't dare to stay alone in the dark forest any longer. If the baboon king came back later, she wouldn't be able to defeat him.

After a while, the three of them arrived in front of the castle.

The castle is a typical Gothic building. Its towering spire and slender tree columns give the entire building a straight line. It is full of mysterious atmosphere under the moonlight.

This reminded Cheng Cheng of the temples in movies and TV shows in his previous life that were full of lonely souls and ghosts at night. It was similar to this scene, and he also had a Devil Fruit user here who could truly control ghosts.

Zoro looked up, frowned slightly, and asked, "Isn't this the castle we just left? Why are we back here?"

Perona secretly glanced at Cheng Cheng. Ever since she knew Cheng Cheng's identity, she didn't dare to speak during the whole journey. She only dared to carefully look at Cheng Cheng from a distance.

Her face turned red and she couldn't help but become obsessed with it. Why could a man be so handsome and so powerful?How happy would it be to marry him?

Cheng Cheng continued to walk forward slowly and pushed open the tall wooden door of the castle. The dim light shone through the cracks in the door. He said softly: "I have something else to do. Let's go in first and have a glass of wine and rest."

After knowing that Luffy was fine, Zoro was no longer so anxious. He nodded and followed indifferently. For him, drinking and practicing swordsmanship were two things that he could not refuse and should not refuse.

In the hall at the entrance of the castle, there is a long rectangular dining table and chairs with red satin-covered backrests, all inlaid with gold patterned silk edges. They are extremely luxurious and definitely not furniture that ordinary nobles can use.

The wine cabinets on both sides of the hall were filled with neat bottles of red wine. Even though Zoro was seriously injured in the past two days, he drank a lot.

Cheng Cheng walked over slowly, picked up a bottle of dark red wine, and poured a glass with Zoro and Perona each.

Perona originally wanted to say that she didn't know how to drink, but when she saw Cheng Cheng's gentle movements when pouring the wine, she swallowed her rejection instantly.

"You two sit down and take a rest. I'll go walk around first and I'll be back in a while."

Cheng Cheng took a sip of wine, turned around and walked up the stairs slowly.

If he remembered correctly, Sauron met Hawkeye in this castle, and then in order to improve his strength, he chose to kneel down to Hawkeye and beg him to teach him the art of swordsmanship.

But in this life, since he is here, he will not let Sauron do this kind of thing like kneeling to the enemy. This is the ultimate insult to a swordsman.

Hawkeye is recognized as the world's greatest swordsman, and he is the man Zoro has aspired to surpass since he was a child. If he kneels down to Hawkeye, he becomes his master.

Then no matter what achievements Sauron achieves in the future and how many times he defeats Hawkeye, others will only remember Sauron as Hawkeye's apprentice.

Therefore, Cheng Cheng would never allow this to happen.

At worst, after taking Zoro back this time, he would call the red hair over, and the two of them would guide Zoro together, not to mention that there was also Pluto Rayleigh on the island with superb swordsmanship.

dong dong dong.

There was a dull sound of footsteps. It seemed that because of the age, some of the wooden boards on the stairs had begun to loosen.

After walking up to the second floor, there is obviously more dust here, spider webs are densely covered in the corners, and the stained glass on some doors is slightly broken, but it does not affect the usual protection from wind and rain.

After Cheng Cheng walked along the corridor, he didn't gain much. He didn't hear the familiar system sound.

He continued to the third floor and was in the center of the corridor overlooking the entire hall.

Zoro was drinking leisurely, while Perona was holding the wine glass with both hands. When she saw Cheng Cheng's eyes sweeping over, she immediately lowered her head and stirred her pink twin ponytails back and forth with two fingers.

Cheng Cheng's eyes changed, he squinted slightly, and felt a powerful aura appear at the door of the castle, like a peerless sword hidden in a sheath, extremely sharp.

Noticing the change in Cheng Cheng's eyes, Sauron also looked at the door with confusion. At the same time, he took out two swords, Hedao Yiwen and Qiu Shui, and held them tightly in his hands.

Perona looked alert, staring ahead, ready to activate her ghost fruit ability at any time.

creak.

There was a scraping sound on the ground, and Hawkeye walked in from the door.

The hawk-eyed Mihawk, who was carrying the night on his back, simply ignored the two uninvited guests at the table in the hall. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Cheng Cheng. His eyes were extremely sharp, and there was no trace of surprise.

It seems that he has always been so calm, calm and calm, as if there is nothing in this world that can surprise this Hawkeye who has always lived alone.

He frowned slightly and asked: "Counting the time, why are you here now? Are you here to hunt me down?"

Zoro clenched his hands tighter. The man in front of him was the goal he wanted to surpass day and night.

Cheng Cheng, who was sitting on the railing on the third floor, chuckled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to fight. There is no enmity between the two of us, and I also respect you, the world's greatest swordsman." Not interested, I’m just here to pick up Sauron.”

"To be honest, I'm not interested either. This is all imposed by outsiders."

Hawkeye raised his head and continued: "Then since you saw someone, why don't you leave now?"

Seeing that Cheng Cheng had no intention of sword fighting, he casually took off the night, laid it across the table, took off his coat, and sat on the main seat wearing only a white shirt.

He was minding his own business while pouring himself a drink and issuing orders to expel guests.

He has lived alone for so many years and really doesn't like other people to disturb him.

Cheng Cheng smiled and said: "No rush, no rush, we can be considered friends who don't know each other. You and Hongfa are friends, and Hongfa and I are brothers. Maybe our relationship will be even better in the future."

Now that you're here and you've drunk your wine, it would be rude to leave without saying hello to the host. "

Eagle Eye sat on the chair, raised his glass but did not drink, and said calmly:

"Red Hair said before that he would come to participate in the war on the top. As a result, I left early and couldn't wait for him. However, in the end, I didn't see the news of Hong Hair's participation in the war in the newspaper. He is not someone who will easily break the agreement."

Cheng Cheng smiled slightly and explained: "Of course, to be precise, he joined the war earlier, but he was on another battlefield with Kaido."

Hawkeye narrowed his eyes instantly, and the temperature dropped sharply.
