Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Wow!"

"so cool!!"

Ten minutes later, Bartolomeo and Desire followed Luke back to the Thriller Bark.

Looking at the huge, exaggerated ships, as well as the legions of beasts and the pterosaurs patrolling back and forth, their eyes couldn't help but shine.

"These are all zombies made by using the Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability to plunder other people's shadows and implant them into human or animal corpses…"

Luke introduced there: "They feel neither pain nor fatigue!"

"Zombie?" Bartolomeo exclaimed: "It's amazing!"

"Incredible..."

After looking around, Desire couldn't help but feel inexplicable.

At this time, in the forest.

"Aha!!"

There was a deafening voice: "Is it dawn yet?"

It's not just Bartolomeo and Desire.

On Loguetown, the civilians, business travelers, and pirates who were secretly paying attention to the Thriller Bark, especially those Marines…

Every one of them couldn't help but open their mouths wide as they stared blankly at the exaggerated figure that suddenly stood up from the forest, yawning and stretching like a demon. 

It was unbelievably huge.

Cold sweat broke out immediately on their back, and they felt somewhat apprehensive.

"Wh… What is that!"

Bartolomeo's eyes widened.

He looked up at the huge figure, which was sixty or seventy meters tall.

"Ah? This...this is..."

Desire was a little stunned.

"Don't be nervous; it's Oars, an ancient giant. It's bigger than the average giant... it's the strongest zombie king!" Luke said with a smile.

"Wooo…!"

Bartolomeo and Desire both couldn't help but gasp.

Such a powerful monster is actually a zombie?

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~, the strength of the Netherworld Pirate is beyond your imagination!" Hogback, who had just returned from purchasing a large amount of medicinal materials, said with a strange smile.

It is unclear where Luke recruited these two people.

But he believed in Luke's vision.

"Let me ask one more question..." Looking at the shocked two people, Luke asked again: "Are you sure you want to join the Netherworld Pirate?"

Bartolomeo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Ever since he had seen Luke Conqueror's Haki in the bar, he had already become Luke's fanboy.

After following Luke to board the Thriller Bark to visit, he feels that the little fights he made in the past that were not on the stage are simply inferior.

"Then I… I'll join too!"

Looking at Luke's handsome face.

Desire's pretty face blushed slightly, and she also echoed.

"Then, you are welcome to join!"

Luke laughed; then he looked at the sky and said directly: "It's still early now; there's no rush. You go back and pack your luggage first and get ready... We will set off before evening tonight."

"Yes, boss!"

"No problem!"

And at this moment.

On Loguetown.

"Hiss!"

In a hidden high-rise building, with the help of a monocular telescope, Smoker observed the scene on the Thriller Bark.

Looking at the ridiculously huge figure that made people feel numb, he took a deep breath: "There is such a monster on that guy's ship?"

"Report the news immediately!"

"Yes, Captain Smoker!"

The marine next to him hesitated to speak: "It's just that the superiors asked us to investigate as much as possible whether Obask Luke and Nico Robin were on that ship..."

"Isn't there no trace of them inside or outside?" Smoker put out his cigar and said calmly: "Just report it truthfully…"

On the ground, there are an astonishing number of zombie legions on guard.

Even in the air, there is a large flying force patrolling back and forth.

With such a tight guard, not even a bird can get in, let alone send someone to lurk in to investigate.

Although he has an impulsive personality, often disobeys orders, and goes his own way without fear of authority, he takes the lives of his subordinates seriously.

"Monitor closely first!"

At dusk, Robin, Reiju, Perona, and others return.

Bartolomeo and Desire, who had packed their luggage, also came directly to the Thriller Bark.

In the relieved eyes of those Marines in Loguetown, the huge Thriller Bark sets sail again and goes slowly toward the depths of the sea.

"Eh?"

Inside the gorgeous castle, looking at Luke, who had returned to his original state, looking completely different from the original but more handsome, tall, and stalwart.

Desire and Bartolomeo opened their mouths in disbelief.

"Get to know me again... I, Obask Luke, am the boss behind the Netherworld Pirate!"

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that you, Boss Yasuo, are, in fact, the great pirate Obask Luke, who was offered a bounty of 500 million Belly by Marine some time ago..."

Bartolomeo looked at Luke in front of him and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Wow! Boss Yasuo... No, Boss Luke is more handsome than in the photo!"

Desire took out a stack of bounty lists from her pocket.

The bounty that belonged to Luke was quickly found.

She look at the ridiculously handsome young figure in front of her, and then couldn't help but compare it in the photo in bounty.

At this moment, she found herself… in love!

"Huh?" Bartolomeo, next to her, noticed that Desire was staring at Luke blankly.

He felt strange in his heart and also inexplicably a little disappointed.

It's like losing something.

For a moment, he was a little confused.

He scratched his head and thought no more.

"Welcome, both of you!" Robin took off her human skin mask and said with a smile: "I am the archaeologist of the Netherworld Pirate... Nico Robin!"

"Hello, Robin-senpai!"

Bartolomeo and Desire were busy responding.

"Don't be cautious; from now on, we are all companions..."

Luke said there.

Soon, everyone got to know each other and gradually became familiar with each other.

"Hehe~hehe~hehe~, are these the sword you bought today, Luke-sama?" Perona was filled with surprise when she noticed the two swords Luke put aside.

Robin, Reiju, and others on the side were also a little curious.

Of course, they noticed.

"Well, I'm lucky; I got it from the weapons shop..."

Luke shrugged and said with a smile: "One is a good sword, Yubashiri, and the other is a cursed sword, Sandai Kitetsu!"
