"Hina! Hina!" Hogback screamed in panic, but with nowhere to escape, he could only hide on the operating table to avoid the attack.

Hina heard the sound, and the door on the side opened. She came out with a plate. Seeing this, she mechanically threw the plate at the divine soldiers.

However, as she was not a specially made combat zombie, the fragile plate had no effect at all.

Hogback died with a scream.

Hina also lost the shadow supporting her body under the effect of salt water.

At that moment, a sword energy suddenly flew over with great momentum.

"Yo ho ho ho~"

Brook stood in front of everyone and intercepted the sword energy coming toward them.

Looking at the Shimotsuki Ryoma zombie approaching, he put away his playful tone and said solemnly:

"My shadow is on him. I've fought him many times before, but I've been defeated without exception..."

"Then add the two of us!" Shura and Gedatsu stood on both sides of Brook, looking down on Shimotsuki Ryoma with a smirk.

"Don't waste time; find the right opportunity to get the salt water on his head," Ethan instructed and continued to walk toward the top of the Ghost Castle.

"Yes, Lord God!"

The divine soldiers continued to charge upward under the command of Shadley and Ohm.

Ethan walked leisurely behind the divine soldiers, his Observation Haki spreading across the terrifying three-masted sailboat as he searched for Perona's whereabouts.

This wasn't because he wanted to avoid fighting.

Think about it—if he had to do everything himself, why bother developing his power? Is he meant to raise giant babies?

What he desired was to enjoy the benefits brought by his power, not to be a slave who did everything on his own.

In the beginning, he invested effort into developing his power.

Later, once it was established, he would naturally rely on it when possible and save his strength for defeating only the strongest enemies.

As the density of zombies became less, the divine soldiers thought they had taken a wrong turn and came to a room with a hint of girlish charm.

The ground was covered with green grass, the four walls and ceiling were painted purple and pink, and colorful soft balls with five-pointed stars were scattered around, inviting people to kick them.

"Who are you? How did you invade this castle?"

An ethereal voice echoed, and everyone looked toward its source. A cute girl with pink twin ponytails, a princess dress, and a crown peeked out from the roof. It was Perona, the purpose of Ethan's mission.

Despite her harmless and petite appearance, she was actually a 23-year-old "legal loli."

"Little girl, don't you know that your captain has captured my people?"

Ethan looked at Perona's ghostly body with interest. His Observation Haki had already pinpointed her real body; she wouldn't escape his grasp.

"Ah? So it was those weirdos with small wings!" Perona was shocked; it was her first time seeing winged people.

"Really! Why would Lord Moriah cause trouble for you?" Perona pouted with dissatisfaction.

"Lord God, shall we..." Shadley asked tentatively, and upon receiving a look from Ethan, he immediately understood.

"Brothers, keep going up!"

With that, he led the divine soldiers toward the front gate.

"Damn it, how dare you ignore me! I won't let you disturb Lord Moriah so easily!"

Perona spread her fingers, and dozens of ghosts shot out from her crystal fingers.

"Negative Ghost!"

The Negative Ghosts passed through several divine soldiers, continuing on their path toward others.

"A person like me is even worthy of being Lord God's divine soldier?"

"In truth, I am but a lowly insect. I crawl~ I crawl~ I crawl~"

"I'm so sorry. Surviving another day has only wasted more food~"

"I..."

The divine soldiers struck by the Negative Ghosts became despondent, kneeling on the ground, muttering bizarre laments.

"Hehehehe~" Perona floated gleefully with her wine-red umbrella. "Submit to me!"

Ethan let her enjoy her triumph for a while before sending out a few bolts of lightning.

"Thunder Technique: Evil Breaker!"

The lightning raged, accurately striking the Negative Ghosts. The powerful thunder easily shattered them, leaving no trace.

"What!?" Perona was shocked, her eyes widening in disbelief.

"It's... lightning!"

She turned and fled, as if making a sudden decision.

She knew her ghost soul was vulnerable to energy attacks. If Ethan used lightning on her ghost form, it would be pure agony.

Ethan, however, had no intention of electrocuting her. It would be a shame if his beautiful ghost princess were left rolling her eyes from electrocution. He wanted her to become his divine concubine!

"I'll go find her. You all proceed slowly," Ethan said casually, then turned into a flash of lightning and followed her, phasing through all obstacles with ease.

"Why are you running? I won't electrocute you."

Perona saw the lightning figure chasing her and was terrified.

"Don't chase me! I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Then stop flying."

Realizing she couldn't shake off Ethan, Perona grew desperate. Was she really going to be electrocuted today...

No! I must not lead him to my real body. If he finds it, I'll be in even bigger trouble!

Determined, she flew in a different direction...

"Huh... Why is there no movement?" Perona glanced at the empty room behind her and smiled confidently.

"Hehehehe~ This princess knows the ghost castle's layout better than you!"

Just then, she felt a light pat on her shoulder.

"Umm~" Startled, Perona let out a soft gasp, noticing an odd sensation in her body. In shock, she muttered, "What's going on!?"

"Could it be... No way!!!" Her face fell, and she rushed back toward her original body, her face twisted in worry.

"Don't! I was wrong! Handsome brother, please don't do anything strange to my real body!"

Perona's path was clear, and she quickly reached her room, where her original body lay quietly on the princess bed.

However, a man was next to her body, holding her gently in his arms.

"Wow~ You came back pretty quickly~" Ethan calmly pinched Perona's little face.

"Ah!!!" Perona's scream echoed through the castle, so sharp that it made the glass tremble slightly.
