Chapter 408: The Ghost Ship in the Black Mist
hiss!
"What?!"
Robin's introduction immediately put everyone on deck on edge. They had heard about the infamous Devil's Triangle in detail just days before, not to mention they already knew about the situation there.
"Phew! Boss Mumu! Should we continue forward now, or wait for the captain to finish his training?"
Moriarty stared at the black mist before him, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes. Although he had already consumed a Devil Fruit, he still lacked the composure of a true powerhouse.
"Meow! No need to wait for my brother! With the strength of his Observation Haki, he knows what's going on outside! The Freedom just needs to keep going. I'm also very curious to see if this place is really as terrifying as you all say!"
When the white cat Mumu heard Moriarty's question, it decisively shook its head, its eyes showing no fear, only intense curiosity.
"Okay! Boss Mumu!"
And so, under the arrangement of White Cat Mumu, the Freedom smoothly sailed into the Devil's Triangle, disappearing into the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Guaou! Guaou!
However, just as the Liberty disappeared into the black fog, a newspaper gull appeared at the edge of the fog. Having spotted the Liberty from afar, it wanted to sell it a newspaper, but it was too late. So, after calling out a few times to the fog, it left.
Because of this near miss, the people on the Freedom missed an important message.
"Phew! It's so cold here! Why do I suddenly feel like there's something around me?"
As soon as the Freedom entered the black fog, Old Dog and the others on the deck immediately shuddered, their faces filled with vigilance as they watched their surroundings.
"Heh! No ship that enters this place has ever survived. It's said that countless wronged souls sleep here!"
Nicole Robin surveyed her surroundings indifferently, not forgetting to further intensify the fear in the crowd.
"hiss!!"
Sure enough, after Robin finished speaking, Old Dog and the others gasped in shock. Even Moriarty and Laura the Mermaid involuntarily moved closer to the crowd.
"Meow! Is it really that bad, Robin? If this place is that terrifying, why is Moria able to survive here?"
White Cat Mumu frowned slightly as he stood on the deck, observing his surroundings. The thick black fog obscured his vision, making him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hmm? Who knows?"
Nico Robin turned to look at the white cat Mumu, a faint smile appearing on her face. After giving a simple reply, she fell silent, her eyes scanning her surroundings.
call!
Suddenly, a chilling wind swept across the deck of the Liberty, accompanied by faint, mournful murmurs, amplifying the surrounding terror to its extreme.
However, as the Liberty ventured deeper into the area, it remained completely dark, and nothing unexpected happened; they only saw the wreckage of a few pirate ships.
"Hey! Look! What's that up ahead?"
Just then, Moriarty suddenly pointed to a huge shadow that had appeared to his left and shouted.
His voice drew everyone's attention, and they all turned to look. A huge black shadow stood on the sea to their left. As the Freedom approached, they could finally make out its features.
"Wow! What a huge pirate ship! It's even several times bigger than the Liberty!"
What appeared before them was an enormous pirate ship, but the entire vessel was now in ruins; the masts were broken, the sails were reduced to mere scraps of cloth, and the hull was riddled with holes and damage.
It's truly remarkable that this ship didn't sink after such extensive damage.
"Hiss! A ghost ship..."
Snapped!
A handyman standing nearby, upon seeing the ship, instinctively called it a ghost ship, only to be slapped on the back of the head by the old dog standing next to him.
"Shut up! Where did this ghost ship come from? This is just a damaged pirate ship..."
boom!
However, just as the old dog was reprimanding the people, a sound like a cannonball exploding suddenly came from the depths of the black mist, immediately putting everyone on alert.
"Meow? Is there a fight on the island?"
The white cat Mumu frowned slightly, its eyes gleaming with excited light; it looked as if it couldn't wait to rush over.
"Lord Mumu! Should we notify the captain...?"
creak!
Just as Moriarty was speaking, the door to the Liberty training room was pushed open, and Mu Chong, dressed in a white robe, slowly walked out of the training room.
"elder brother!"
"captain!"
When everyone saw Mu Chong, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if as long as this man was there, all the dangers before them could be averted.
"Hey! How are you all? Hmm! You've all arrived! That's great!"
Mu Chong first greeted everyone, then surveyed his surroundings. When he saw the massive pirate ship ahead, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm? Captain! You know the origin of this ship?"
Nicole Robin keenly noticed the look that flashed in Mu Chong's eyes, and then asked softly.
"Hmm! If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ship I remember! But why can't my Observation Haki detect any living things?"
Mu Chong's eyes were fixed on the pirate ship ahead. As he spoke, he frowned slightly, because he couldn't sense the skeleton in his Observation Haki.
"Hmm? Could it be that guy went out for a stroll and isn't on the ship? Or is the skeleton itself able to evade the detection of Observation Haki? That shouldn't be the case!"
Mu Chong rested his chin on his hand, talking to himself about his conjectures, completely unaware that he had been surrounded by people.
"Brother! Are you alright?"
"Captain! Are you alright?"
When everyone saw their captain muttering to himself as soon as he stepped out of the training room, they all looked worried, thinking that Mu Chong had been possessed.
"Hmm? Hahaha! It's nothing, nothing! I just suddenly thought of something! Come on! Let's go aboard the ship and take a look!"
Hearing everyone's questions, Mu Chong finally came to his senses and quickly laughed to cover up his embarrassment. Then, as he spoke, he walked towards the bow of the ship.
Seeing that their captain was alright, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Nico Robin's eyes flashed with curiosity, and a thought began to sprout wildly in her mind.
hum!
The next second, Mu Chong, standing at the bow, activated the Power-Power Fruit ability within him. A white energy wave burst forth from his body, enveloping all the crew members except for Lao Gou and the others.
Swish!
With a wave of Mu Chong's arm, the group enveloped in energy waves were propelled into the air, flying directly towards the wrecked pirate ship.
pat!
Mu Chong and his group encountered no obstacles and landed on the deck of the pirate ship in just a few breaths. At that moment, the scene on the pirate ship came into view.
"What?! Bones? So many bones!"
When Moriarty saw the skeletons on the deck, he couldn't help but shout, and the others also showed expressions of surprise; there were just too many.
"Meow! Judging from this, it looks like a huge battle took place here, and all the pirates on the ship are dead on the deck!"
White Cat Mumu took a few steps forward, surveyed the scene on the deck, and softly uttered her conjecture.
Meanwhile, Nico Robin and the mermaid Laura were huddled together, or rather, Laura was leaning against Robin. The surrounding scene was terrifying.
"Hmm? That's not right! Why isn't it there?"
