Chapter 1139: The Ghost Ryoma on Ghost Island
The Reversal City incident ended with the failure of the human side, and the final mystery was not revealed. Brook, who took the initiative to interrupt the conversation in the sky, made some people feel very abrupt.
It seemed as if this skeleton man was deliberately hiding something and didn't want Zoro to tell the second half, so he deliberately avoided the topic after the City of Reversal.
The Beasts Pirates are not all animals with only muscles in their brains. Black Maria gently waved the flower fan in her hand and glanced at the skeleton man who was occasionally dozing off.
Ever since Brook completed the awakening of Hades on Onigashima, he didn't dare to communicate with the gate of Hell without permission, for fear that a great hollow would exploit the loophole and come into the human world.
The beast-shaped Hollow of the Achukas level has already caused devastating damage to Onigashima. The impact of a top-level Hollow like Navastrode will be even wider when it appears in the world.
It is even possible that the entire second half of the Grand Line will fall, and there may be some doubts as to whether Kaido the Beast can defeat Varstrode.
Today, we observed a flashback on the sky screen. Ulquiorra Cifer, who is capable of the Second Stage Return to Blade, has evolved from a false god to a true god in the minds of some members of the Beasts Pirates.
The king level is invincible unless it is a king level. This concept spread from Tianmu was just for fun in the beginning, but now it has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Even after being beheaded and dismembered, Ulquiorra Cifer was able to reverse the situation with his absolute strength. Against this king of the Hollows, any conspiracy or trick will be useless.
Absolute strength can break all laws and crush all living things. In the later period of the City of Reversal, there are still some people who can survive. It can only be said that they are blessed by God.
Gajeel, Rabbi, Bonnie, Zoro, Aramaki, etc., are all people with great luck. They have not been killed by the king-level and are destined to achieve something in the future.
The black humor is the City of Reversal incident, which is not a reversal on the human side, but a reversal on the side of the Hollow.
Brook now dares not call the gate of hell at will, for fear that Vastod is spying on the world from hell. He does not want to become a sinner in history, so he decides to live honestly on Ghost Island.
Making music with Gorillamon helps him dilute his helplessness towards reality. Brook himself doesn't have many ideals and is a skeleton who goes with the flow.
Traveling around the world or being a member of One Piece's crew is not necessary for Brook, the only thing he wants to see is that big whale.
Now he was forbidden to leave Onigashima and had no chance to go to the entrance to the first half of the Grand Line. The big whale had been waiting for him for a long time, but Brook believed he had plenty of time.
He felt that he could live for a long time, and the lifespan of whales was much longer than that of ordinary humans. Sooner or later, they would meet again, and Brooke would play music for Lab.
Brook, who was originally in low spirits, suddenly felt a chill all around him, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. At first he thought he was having a nightmare.
Until he saw the malicious gazes of the Beasts Pirates in a daze, which immediately woke Brook up from all sleepiness, "I definitely don't know what will happen in the future. The future me and the current me are two skeletons."
The members of the Beasts Pirates were obviously unhappy with Brook's perfunctory explanation, but on second thought they didn't make it too difficult for him.
The feelings within a team need to be cultivated. From a long-term perspective, Brook believes that the Skeleton himself has unlimited potential, and the Beasts Pirates can tolerate his minor quirks.
We must not let the Skeleton Man go to other places. If Brook becomes an enemy of the Beasts Pirates, it will bring heavy losses to Onigashima. This is the consensus reached by the Beasts Pirates.
"Instead of asking me, a newbie, why don't you ask him?" Brook pointed at the white soul above Perona's head. Although ordinary people cannot see the full picture of the soul with the naked eye, they can always feel a soul energy floating near the girl.
The white ghost was none other than Ryuma who had sneaked in from hell. After the gates of hell were closed and the Achukas Hollow was eliminated, he did not return to hell with them.
On the contrary, Ryoma Shimotsuki has always kept his memories and stayed by Perona's side. As a dead soul, he also has his own difficulties, and he cannot stay too far away from the user of the ghost fruit.
Ryuma has been dead for hundreds of years, and the surname Shimotsuki has become a big surname. No one knows how many descendants he has. His descendants are also present in Wano Country, which is ruled by Kurozumi Orochi.
Zoro, who performed brilliantly in the sky, still has half of Frost Moon's blood in his body. If it were only the blood of the mountain people, this monster would not have been raised.
After the Onigashima incident, Ryoma tried to return to his country, but soon discovered that if he was too far away from the user of the Ghost Fruit, his soul would become weaker and weaker, and he might even lose some of his memory.
If it weren't for Perona, Ryoma Shimotsuki would have escaped from hell and would have become a wandering ghost in a short period of time. After all his memories of his lifetime were worn out, he would have become the legendary earthbound spirit of Wano Country.
After becoming a ground-bound spirit, it will choose to stay in a specific area and never leave, and will persecute people in this area. Ryoma Shimotsuki, who has lived an upright life, does not want to be a ground-bound spirit.
Perona rubbed the little Impmon in her arms and tilted her head to look at Ryuma beside her. The girl could see the full appearance of the undead clearly. Ryuma was still dressed in the orthodox style of a samurai from Wano Country.
The last time Ryoma forcibly took over the girl's body and used it at will, Perona was already unhappy.
If Ryoma had been a woman when he was alive, Perona would not feel so disgusted when she was possessed by the ghost of a woman. But it was different if it was a man. The girl felt that she had become dirty and polluted by the stinky man.
Ryoma has already apologized to Perona. As an ancient warrior with excellent character, he will take the initiative to restrain himself and will not occupy the girl's body without her consent.
The famous sword Shusui, the national treasure of Wano Country in Perona's adoptive father's hands, has been handed over to her for safekeeping. Moria may have been interested in swordplay before, but now he is too lazy to use weapons and relies more on the power of the devil fruit.
Ryoma wants Perona to take him back to Wano Country to see his hometown. After suffering in hell for so long, the only reason that kept him going was his longing for his hometown.
"Ryoma, you know something about the underworld. Why do you think those humans were able to survive? Ulquiorra Cifer should have no reason not to kill them." Perona is a smart girl. She understood Brook's words immediately. Moria, her godfather beside her, was still confused.
The dragon horse floating in the air, just coming out of hell, brought with it a mixed breath of hell. Most people could sense it, and even hear his speech.
It has been some time since he left hell. The originally mixed aura of Longma's soul has been influenced by the life of living people in the mortal world. As a result, ordinary people cannot hear the sound of Longma's soul when he speaks now.
Ryoma's words are a form of communication on a spiritual level. Perhaps humans with strong Observation Haki can hear the voices of the dead. Most members of the Beasts Pirates do not have this ability.
Apart from Brook and Perona, only Kaido and Jin were present, and the faint voice of the ghost Ryoma was heard.
