These transparent figures had children, older people, women, and men. The faces of these transparent figures were all pale, their faces twisted, and their eyes flashed with scarlet light. Their bodies were all in tatters. Some had lost an arm, some had lost a leg, some had only the upper body, some had the lower body, and some had only one body without a head.
The same thing was that all of them were covered in blood. Locke and Barett felt their hairs stand on end as they looked at these ghosts. The sky had become completely dark, and lightning flashed occasionally. There was only a full moon hanging in the sky. This caused the entire ruined town to become even more sinister and terrifying.
"What the hell is this thing? It was completely unharmed under your attack!" Barett looked darkly at the completely unharmed ghosts after being attacked by Locke's fierce tiger. He said in a low voice. Locke was also puzzled by Barett's words.
"These things seem to be the residents of this town in the past. I don't know what happened, but they have all become like this. However, there is no doubt that they are enemies to us now!"
"Waaaa" Suddenly, one of the ghosts cried out. The highly unpleasant sound of iron nails digging into the ground like a fence immediately spread like a sound wave, stimulating Locke and Barett's ears and nerves.
"Hmph!" Locke and Barett let out a muffled groan. They immediately felt as if something had struck their brains, and they felt dizzy. When they heard this extremely unpleasant sound, the ghostly figures immediately charged toward Locke and Barett as if they had received some command.
"Damn it! Barett, be careful!" Locke couldn't care less about the dizziness in his mind as he watched the ghosts rushing towards him. He immediately brandished his sword and began to fight. "Ah! I know!" Barett responded loudly. Then, he waved his two fists and charged at the ghosts.
Whoosh! "En!" Locke's sword passed through the ghost's body but did not feel like it had hit a physical body. He was immediately shocked. "Bang!" While he was shocked, the ghost also punched Locke. Locke hurriedly held his sword before his chest and blocked the ghost's fist.
The powerful force immediately sent Locke flying. Barett swung his fist wrapped in Busoshoku and punched through the body of a ghost. He found that there was no sense of reality and was shocked. Then he saw the spirit reveal a terrifying smile. He stopped and punched Barett in the abdomen. The powerful force immediately made Barett bow.
The ghost shadow's attack succeeded. He grinned and began to pursue. For a time, Locke and Barett were entirely in a problematic situation. Baji and Shanks looked at the Skeleton Sea Bandits surrounding them with grave expressions. "Shanks, what the hell are these guys? They are dead and only skeletons are left. They can still move!"
Baji held several small throwing knives in his hands and asked Shanks as he looked at the skeleton soldiers. Shanks held the sword in his left hand and stared at the skeleton pirates. He blocked a skeleton pirate rushing over and forced him back. I don't know, but I think this might be some devil fruit ability.
Otherwise, It can't be said that these pirates who have been dead for a long time can survive and even fight with this posture. When he heard Shanks' reply, Baji immediately clicked his tongue in displeasure and threw out a few throwing knives, sending a Skeleton Sea Thief flying.
"Damn it; I encountered such a troublesome matter! I was going to find the treasure!" After saying that, Baji roared and rushed toward the Skeleton Sea Thief. Seeing Baji running out, Shanks laughed and rushed forward with his sword. Seeing that Shanks and Buggy had taken the initiative to attack, the red light in the eyes of the Skeleton Sea Bandits became even brighter.
"Ka!" A strange sound rang out. The Skeleton Sea Bandits charged toward Shanks and Buggy. For a moment, there were flashes of swords and sparkles of swords, and gunfire rang out. Unknowingly, an hour passed. The sky became darker, the scarlet moon was more dazzling, and the temperature was lower. The entire island became colder.
The members of Roger Pirates, who were stationed on the beach, looked at the rotten pirate ship that came out of nowhere and slowly floated over from the sea level. The terrible pirate ship was similar to the one on the island but more extensive and decayed. The black sails on the ship were tattered, and the hull was full of holes.
He had such a broken ship; it was hard to imagine how he didn't sink to the bottom of the sea while sailing on the sea. Looking at the pirate ship that was getting closer and closer, the crew of Roger Pirates suddenly became alert. "That thing, what is going on? Is it a ghost ship?" Carl looked at the pirate ship with a noble face, holding a weapon, and said in a low voice.
"Well, whether he is a ghost ship or not, as long as he dares to provoke our Roger Pirates, sink him!" CB Gelan said with disdain.
"Yes, no matter if he is a ghost ship or not, if he dares to provoke our Roger Pirates, sink him!" The other crew members of Roger Pirates shouted. Barker Jba picked up the two short axes behind him and held them in his hands.
"Alright, brothers, get ready to fight!"
"Oh"
Just as they were shouting, the ghost ship on the sea changed course. Its hull was aimed at the beach, and more than thirty cannons were opened and fired at the beach simultaneously. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Suddenly, the cannon roared.
At the same time, hundreds of Skeleton Sea Bandits, wearing tattered clothes and holding various weapons, came out of the sea and rushed towards the members of Roger Pirates on the beach. For a time, the entire beach was full of swords and knives.
The sounds of shouts and swords clashing became the central theme of the beach. Locke and Barett had no idea what had happened at the beach, but they had no time to understand it. The two people, surrounded by hundreds of ghosts, were now in a sorry state.
Locke and Barett were initially wearing tattered black military uniforms. Locke's black military hat had fallen off at some point, and no one knew where he was going. Even Barett's naked upper body was covered in tiny scars. The sudden sneak attack of the ghosts caused those wounds.
However, although there were many wounds, they were useless to Barett. "reading is challenging to deal with!" Barett spat out mouthfuls of water, and then a pitch-black domineering aura quickly covered his entire body, flashing with a pitch-black luster.
Locke turned over and dodged the ghost shadow's sneak attack. He stabbed the ghost shadow's body and found that it was the same as before, so he clicked his tongue unhappily. "It is indeed difficult to deal with. However, these ghost shadows must have a weakness, but we haven't found it yet."
Locke looked at the ghost shadow calmly, his mind replaying the battle scene. Suddenly, Locke seemed to have found something. Every time they attacked, the ghosts remained motionless. When they attacked, their bodies seemed to change at that moment. After understanding something, Locke immediately rushed towards a small ghost.
He deliberately stabbed out with his sword and then revealed a flaw. Seeing this, the little ghost shadow immediately took the axe in his hand and slashed at Locke. At that moment, Locke saw the ghost appear and quickly dodged the attack. With lightning speed, he stabbed into the little spirit.
"Sizzle---"
The sound of the sword piercing the body sounded. The little ghost looked at Locke in disbelief and then fell straight down. Locke looked at the little ghost that he had stabbed and fell to the ground. After not moving, he nodded.
"Barett, when they attack, they will appear. At that time, we will be able to attack them!" When he heard Locke's words, Barett immediately understood. Then, he grinned and laughed wildly. The fists that flashed with black light collided with each other. "Alright, the second round has begun!"
