"Boss, we found it. What a big ship!"
The sailboat sailed in the thick fog for a while, and then a huge black shadow appeared in front of Dewey and his two companions.
The shadow was like an iceberg, blocking the way of the sailboat.
As the sailboat approached, the dark shadow under the thick fog revealed an enormous island ship.
When Nami and Kalina saw the island ship for the first time, they were amazed, just like they saw the huge fountain of the Seven Water City.
Different from the gorgeous Seven Water City, this island ship looked particularly eerie in the thick fog, especially the front door of the island ship, which looked like a huge mouth. It seemed to have discovered Dewey and the other two, and its mouth slowly opened, trying to swallow them in.
If other people saw this scene, they would be so scared that they would turn the ship and flee immediately.
Kalina and Nami were indeed frightened and subconsciously shrank into Dewey's arms.
"Nami, drive in."
Dewey put his arm around the two girls' shoulders and spoke softly.
"...yes."
Nami swallowed and took the initiative to drive the sailboat in.
When the sailboat entered the interior of the ship's wall, a dilapidated island that looked like ruins suddenly appeared in the eyes of Dewey and the other two.
Near this sea area, there are several dilapidated ghost ships, which seem to have been abandoned for many years.
When the sailboat docked at the shore and dropped anchor, Dewey took back his hands from the two women's shoulders and said, "Next, hold on to the corners of my clothes and don't let go."
"Uh-huh..."
Kalina and Nami nodded repeatedly.
The three of them came down from the boat ladder. Kalina and Nami were less than half a body length behind Dewey. They grabbed the corners of Dewey's clothes on the left and right and walked towards the center of the island.
Along the way, the barren ground, skeletons everywhere, and the gloomy scene of gray gas floating in the air made Nami tremble.
On the other hand, Karina, who had a strong mental state, had regained her composure after the initial discomfort.
Picking up the monocular hanging around her neck, Kalina looked at the huge mast standing in the center of the island.
The canvas that covered the sky was retracted, but a blurry pirate flag could still be seen fluttering in the wind.
"Nami, look at this."
Karina pulled Nami, handed her the monocular, and pointed it in the direction of the pirate flag.
Nami took the telescope and looked in the direction that Karina pointed. The fear on her face faded and she said in surprise: "That's… the Pirate Flag!"
"ah..."
Kalina nodded and smiled: "Oh, so don't be afraid. The things we saw are just psychological tactics specially prepared by the other party."
"Oh, smart woman…"
Almost at the moment when Kalina finished speaking, a low voice like that of a wild beast suddenly came into the ears of the three people.
Hearing this strange voice, Kalina and Nami's expressions changed slightly.
"Swish—torch!"
Before they could react, Dewey pulled out the Sandai Kitetsu from his waist, and a circle of fire emerged from under the feet of the three people, turning into a three or four meter high wall of fire that spread out in all directions.
"Ahhh…"
The flame wall appeared very suddenly, and the owner of the voice obviously did not expect it.
The wall of fire passed by the ground two meters to Kalina's left, creating a human-shaped fire man in the air.
However, this fire man seemed to be not very resistant to burning. He was knocked several meters away by the impact force of the flame wall. He fell to the ground and rolled over, trying to put out the flames on his body while letting out miserable screams.
His voice was filled with fear, and Absalom shouted in disbelief: "Yes, it's a natural ability user… Perona, please save me quickly…"
"Fire Fist—"
Seeing that he wanted to call for support, Dewey quickly delivered a fatal blow.
The huge arms of extremely hot fire submerged him like waves and burned the surrounding gray gas, making a sizzling sound.
"Ahhhhh…"
If a person has an extraordinary physique and has practiced physical skills, he will not be seriously injured even if he is hit by Dewey's fire fist head-on.
Or for someone who has mastered Armament Haki, if his fire fist cannot break through the opponent's invisible armor, he may not even be able to hurt a hair of the opponent.
But this does not include Absalom, who has a strong body through surgery.
Before reinforcements arrived, Absalom's voice became smaller and smaller in the sea of fire and gradually disappeared.
"Absalom, what's wrong with you!?"
At this time, a ball of almost transparent white gas fell from the sky.
It was a ghost with a creepy smiling face painted on it, but underneath the smiling face, there was an unbelievable sound that instantly dispelled most of people's fear of it.
"Dead, you actually killed Absalom!?"
Seeing Absalom buried in the sea of fire, the ghost cast his eyes on Dewey and the other two, and uttered a sinister voice like a baby: "Although I also hate that invisible guy, but you actually dared to attack the Moonlight Pirates. It is simply unforgivable. Let me capture you and bring you to Lord Moriah!"
"torch!"
Dewey swung the knife at the ghost.
The orange-red flames illuminated the dark place, and a five or six-meter-high fire tornado surrounded the ghost.
"Ha ha ha… It's no use. I'm not that guy Absalom!"
The ghost ignored the shrinking fire tornado and laughed triumphantly.
However, after more than 20 seconds, the ghost was stunned: "Huh!?"
After the tornado of fire dissipated, Dewey and the other two disappeared.
"Where did they go?"
Perona, who was far away in the castle, opened her unique eyes, then closed them again, and controlled the ghost to fly into the sky, preparing to search for Dewey and the other two from the air.
boom!
Almost at the moment the ghost ascended, a dazzling fire broke out in the distance.
The ghost had no time to look around and hurriedly chased after him.
After the ghost completely left, Nami and Kalina walked out from behind a huge rock not far away.
"That thing actually ignored the boss's fire attack. No wonder the boss asked us to stay here."
Kalina patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Kalina, what should we do next? Should we follow?"
Nami asked without any idea.
"No, we don't need to follow the boss anymore."
Kalina shook her head, walked to Absalom's body, pulled out the dagger she carried with her, and stabbed it into his heart.
"Kalina, what are you doing!?"
Nami was shocked by Kalina's behavior.
"Of course it's finishing off the enemy. Where was your brain when you were stealing?"
Kalina rolled her eyes at Nami and said speechlessly, "Why do you think the boss just told us not to leave his side and then immediately told us to hide and lure away the ghost fruit user? Isn't it because he's afraid that this invisible guy will catch us when he's not around?
Now that the invisible one is dead, we don't have to follow the boss anymore, otherwise we will only become a burden to the boss, do you understand?"
"Uh, uh hehe… So that's how it is."
Hearing this, Nami laughed awkwardly.
It's not that Nami didn't think of this, but her mental strength was not as good as Kalina's. Dewey's sudden departure made her feel uneasy. Her fear was greater than her reason, and she didn't have time to think.
After Kalina's reminder, she also reacted.
So the two of them hid back in the sailboat, weighed anchor and waited for Dewey's return, ready to escape at any time.
