Chapter 86 Fire Release: The Nemesis of Zombies!
"It really flew quite far."
Standing on the deck, Zoro squinted at the distance and said, "That direction... seems to be the direction Nami and the others left in."
If he remembered correctly, Nami and the others did leave from that direction.
"Yes, that's definitely the direction." Nico Robin smiled, then looked at the two people who had returned to the ship and said, "You just killed him like that?"
"I'm not going to try to get any intelligence or anything."
"You'll have to ask this guy." west Yan glanced at Sanji with annoyance and said, "I was originally planning to knock him down first before controlling him, but I didn't expect Sanji to hit so hard and send him flying with one kick."
That terrible attack probably killed them.
At that moment, west Yan felt like he could smell the meat being roasted, but he didn't know if it was just his imagination.
"sorry....
Sanji, feeling relieved, offered a very sincere apology.
There was no way around it; the feeling of having his dream taken away was just too awful, and he couldn't bear it any longer.
So the moment the opponent broke free of control, Sanji began to charge up his Diable Jambe.
"Feeling better now?"
"Yeah, that feels better."
"That's fine too."
west Yan nodded without saying anything. Anyway, he was going in that direction to find Nami and the others, and he would check if this guy had been killed while he was there.
If I'm not killed, I'll use my Sharingan to gather some information.
"What happened to your foot?" Zoro pointed at Sanji's foot, which was gradually cooling down, and said, "You were really on fire just now, weren't you?"
That temperature wasn't some kind of imposing force; it was a real, tangible temperature!
"Yes, this is my special move, Diable Jambe," Sanji said. "By spinning at high speed, I heat up my legs, which not only increases the speed of my attacks but also multiplies their power."
This was the move he had previously mastered, and it was precisely by relying on this move that he was able to defeat CP9 head-on at Enies Lobby.
"You ate a Devil Fruit?" west Yan asked.
No.
"Then why can you heat up your own legs?" west Yan retorted, "You kid, you don't actually have some kind of special bloodline or something, do you?"
"The temperature there is quite high; the meat is already cooked through."
He was just about to say that when Sanji was about to explode with anger, it felt like his body was on fire.
Is he really an ordinary person?
Sanji blinked, unconsciously thinking about his origins, specifically the so-called genetic modification.
After a moment of silence, Sanji shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind, and said, "Don't overthink it. It's probably because I'm stronger."
In the end, Sanji grinned and gave Xiyan a thumbs up.
west Yan rolled his eyes. If you don't want to talk, then don't. Why use this kind of excuse to shut him up?
"Hey, you two," west Yan said, glancing at Luffy and Franky who were still lying on the ground. "Shouldn't you be done by now?"
"ah!!"
Upon hearing west Yan's words, both of them raised their hands and stood up with a shout.
"That bastard!!"
Franky was furious. He was such a superhuman person, yet he was so negative and didn't want to be human because of the other person's Devil Fruit ability... He really wanted to punch him!
"Hmm, looks like you're recovering well." west Yan nodded, then said, "I'll leave the ship to you guys. I need to go find Nami and the others."
So much time has passed, and there has been no other movement from over there. At the same time, Mei Li has not used reverse summoning magic to summon him over, so west Yan figured that there should be no danger for the time being.
"profound!"
"It's up to you now," Luffy nodded.
With west Yan around, Nami and the others will be safe.
After watching west Yan leave on the sea, Sanji turned to Luffy and the others and said, "Now it's our turn."
"Let's get to shore quickly, we don't have west Yan's ability to tread water."
The Mini Merry 2 was taken away by Nami and the others. The small boat below was also damaged by his attack, leaving a hole in it and rendering it unusable.
If they want to go ashore, the only option is for the Thousand Sunny to dock.
"I'm so envious..." Luffy said, watching Xiyan's departing figure with longing eyes.
"Is this the time to worry about this?!" Zoro said irritably. "You better get serious!"
"oh....
Luffy nodded with a pitiful look, but his eyes were still fixed on west Yan's departing figure, as if he were imagining that he could be like that one day.
Zoro: ...:
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sea began to churn, causing the Thousand Sunny to sway wildly and become completely uncontrollable.
"Is it because of the anchor?" Nico Robin asked, frowning.
"Damn it, the rudder isn't obeying my commands!"
"We're going to get ashore anyway, so it doesn't matter if we get washed ashore," Luffy grinned.
Even if the pirate ship does land, they don't need to worry about the ship being unable to sail, because west Yan's water escape technique can easily lift the Fangli Sunshine!
"That's true..." Before Franky could finish speaking, he noticed a huge spider web in front of him.
"Look, there's a spider web!"
"Everyone, prepare for the impact!!"
On the other side, the four people who had been chased by the modified zombie dogs managed to escape by hiding in a tree.
"I finally dodged it..." Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so scared when he saw that three-headed hellhound that he almost peed his pants.
Once she realized what was happening, she immediately picked up Mary and ran wildly into the distance, terrified that the terrifying guy would catch her.
"Is that guy really the Cerberus you were talking about?" Merry whispered from behind Usopp.
"Um, I guess so," Usopp said uncertainly.
"Then why is one of the heads a fox's head?"
Usopp fell silent. How could he possibly know such a thing? It looked like Cerberus, but it had a fox's head.
"Maybe... this is what Cerberus looks like?" Nami guessed.
Ultimately, they had never seen that thing before, so who knew what it really looked like?
"I don't know if that guy is the so-called Cerberus, but... I have a feeling something's not right," Chopper said.
Normally, even if an organism undergoes a genetic mutation and grows multiple heads, it shouldn't develop the heads of other organisms.
Unless it was sewn on later, but how could that be?
A head transplant is absolutely impossible because a person will die after their head is removed!
"Oh ho ho, it seems you guys are quite curious about that guy~"
"Who?!"
Hearing the sounds coming from behind, goosebumps instantly appeared on the skin of the group, and a feeling of fear began to spread through their hearts.
Turning their heads, they saw a toy that looked like a bat hanging from a tree, grinning at them.
"ah!!"
"A ghost!!"
"Everyone, please don't get so agitated," Hilton said with a smile. "I'm not some kind of ghost. My name is Hilton, and I'm a native of this island."
"I saw you being chased by wild dogs, so I quietly followed you to take a look."
"Wild dog...:.:" Usopp glanced in the direction they were being chased and said, "So it wasn't Cerberus after all?"
That's true. If they were really the kind of creature from mythology, the four of them would have been killed long ago.
"Quietly?" Nami's eyes immediately became wary as she said, "You're not some kind of bad guy, are you?"
'
"Oh ho ho ho, how could that be?" Hilton laughed. "Ladies and gentlemen, if you don't mind, please take my carriage and come with me to the castle to hide for a while."
"This forest is very dangerous at night; only the castle is safe."
"A castle?" Usopp asked doubtfully. "Do people actually live in a place like this?"
This place doesn't look like a human habitation spot.
"That's right, Dr. Hogback's residence is just ahead!"
"Hogback?!"
Chopper immediately showed an excited expression, as if he had heard the name of his idol.
"Chopper?"
Do you know this person?
"That's right!" Chopper exclaimed excitedly, "Hogback is the most famous doctor in the world! Doctors all over the world admire him!"
"So, we can see Hogback here?"
A drop of water appeared on the back of Hilton's head; he really hadn't expected the other party to fall for it so easily.
Is this guy still a fan of Lord Hogback when it comes to matters of the heart?
"Hahaha, that's right. Just follow me to the manor, and you'll see Lord Hogback," Hilton laughed. "My carriage is here too. Please, everyone, dismount."
The group exchanged glances, their inner struggles beginning to fester.
"Well then, let's go take a look," Chopper said. "Anyway, Xiyan and the others won't be here for long, so let's go check it out."
He was really looking forward to meeting his idol, who was the most outstanding person in the medical field!
Seeing Chopper's expectant look, Nami paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go then."
There is no other way.
If we rush back, we might encounter that terrifying three-headed dog again. So we might as well follow this guy in front of us and take a carriage to the castle.
At least... that doctor Chopper knows shouldn't be a bad person... right?
After making their decision, the group stopped talking and quickly climbed down from the tree, then followed Hilton away in a carriage.
A moment later, a man peeked out and sighed, "Another group of people are going to suffer..."
What good could come of being taken to the castle by Moriah's men?
It's estimated that before long, their shadows will be mercilessly taken away by Moria, and they will eventually become like them, living in darkness like ghosts, unable to even touch the sunlight.
"Alright, stop looking. Captain Lola sent us out to see what caused that tremor."
"And these people—"
"They look weak and are unlikely to escape the fate of having their shadows taken away."
"That's right!" The other person nodded and said, "Going out now would easily expose our location. Let's wait until their shadows are taken away before rescuing them."
"All right--"
The group quickly left the area, silently bypassing some zombie trees and other such things, and stealthily made their way to the spot where the tremor had just occurred.
Looking at the large crater in the ground, the group asked in confusion, "There should have been something here, right? Where did it go?"
Logically speaking, something that flew in to create such a large crater must have been quite big, so the question is, where did it go?
"Could it be a zombie?!"
"You mean...?" Echo said, "Someone defeated the zombies?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
What did they risk their lives to come out for?
Naturally, it's to find those who can defeat the zombies... ...and even Gecko Moria!
So whenever someone comes to the island, they sneak out to take a look. If a strong person appears, they will not hesitate to win them over in order to defeat Moria.
Unfortunately, so much time has passed and no one has been able to pose a threat to Moria.
Even... very few people can defeat zombies.
If that's really the case, then we::
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the screams of zombies coming from afar.
"Monster...a monster!"
"Run, everyone! This human is a monster!"
"Don't go near him, he's terrifying!!!"
"He's a demon, a demon!!"
A group of zombie trees and strange zombie animals were running away in the distance, as if some incredibly terrifying beast was behind them.
Every zombie wished it could grow eight legs so it could run faster than the last.
Some residents passing by saw these people, but they didn't even stop and just ran away.
Clearly, they value their lives more than capturing humans.
This scene made Eko and the others shudder, their teeth chattering uncontrollably.
"What... happened over there?"
"I don't know, but there are two possibilities for what could cause this commotion among the zombies," Eiko said, swallowing hard. "Either a more powerful zombie has appeared here."
"Or... among those who came here this time, there's a powerful individual capable of instilling fear in even the zombies!!"
That next sentence acted like a shot of adrenaline, forcefully suppressing the fear in their hearts.
"Let's go take a look," one of them said cautiously.
If it's the former, they can only accept their bad luck and then see if they can escape from the zombie household.
But if it's the latter... then they have a chance to defeat Gecko Moria!
Once they defeat their opponent, they can return to the sunlight, a temptation they cannot resist.
In the end, their yearning for freedom triumphed over everything, and the group carefully disappeared into the distance.
At this moment, one could still hear the screams of zombies and the sound of sharp weapons cutting through flesh, which sounded like a skilled swordsman attacking the zombies.
"ah!!"
"Don't cut me! Please don't cut me!"
west Yan ignored him and raised his right hand to chop.
The grass sword, imbued with wind-attribute chakra, easily sliced the zombie tree in front of it in two.
But the other person was not dead; they were still screaming there.
"Pfft... What kind of trash are you guys?" west Yan frowned.
Even if you cut them into eight pieces, you still can't kill them... They do have a striking resemblance to zombies.
Could these guys be the reason this place is called Ghost Island?
After splitting the head of a zombie animal open with a backhand sword strike, the creature did not die; instead, it struggled even more violently.
"It's not a zombie...it looks like a ghoul."
The most effective way to deal with this type of creature is to use fire jutsu!
With that in mind, west Yan activated Fire Release without hesitation.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"boom!!"
"ah!!"
The terrifying fire attack swept towards the zombies, burning them to ashes in just a few breaths, creating a vacuum zone in the process.
After losing its fuel, the flame gradually shrank and eventually went out.
"It seems that fire is the weakness of these things," west Yan murmured.
To think we'd encountered zombies here... I wonder how Meryl and the others are doing. Could they have run into these things too?
Just as west Yan was pondering, several shadowy figures suddenly rushed out from the gray area and sped upwards at great speed to find their original master!
Looking at the departing shadows in the air, west Yan squinted and said, "What are those dark shadows?"
Could it be a shadow?
Could it be that the reason the enemies here stole the Shadow was to create these zombies that are not easy to kill?
It's not impossible.
"Click~"
The sound of footsteps on tree branches immediately caught west Yan's attention.
He turned to look into the distance, revealing a 'kind' smile, and said, "So there are still some that haven't run away... :::: Then let's kill them all together, save you the trouble of going after Nami and the others!"
Standing beside a rock, west Yan tilted his head slightly, looking into the distance. His blood-red eyes looked particularly eerie in the forest.
This scene almost scared the pants off Eko and the others.
"Evil... demon!!"
