Chapter 64: Chapter 64 High-End Hunters Often Appear In The Form Of Prey
On the sea, many pirates use this method to hunt others.
Once the flare is triggered, it means their position is exposed.
It won't be long before deadly killing opportunities follow.
"Yeah, hahaha, is this treating us as prey?"
Enel sat on the mast, laughing.
Cavendish and Baby5 also showed playful smiles.
Only they, the Nether Pirates, have ever hunted and killed others, and this is the first time they have been hunted.
"High-end hunters often appear as prey."
"This is the highest form of hunting."
Lucifer drank the red wine in his hand, looking expectantly at the foggy sea ahead.
Moria didn't disappoint Lucifer, but after waiting for over an hour, the huge barque appeared.
"Hey, hey, isn't this too big?"
"Is this a pirate ship? It's practically a small island."
Cavendish stared dumbfounded at the bloody mouth that appeared in front of him.
It opened wide and "swallowed" the Nether into its belly.
Behind the bloody mouth was a pirate ship.
It was called a pirate ship, but its size rivaled that of an island.
There were forests on the island, shrouded in thick fog, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
From time to time, the hoarse cries of crows echoed in the forest, as if zombies or ghosts could appear at any moment.
"This is the Thriller Bark, the largest pirate ship in the world!"
Lucifer looked at the island ahead and said calmly.
"That monster named Moria lives on that island?"
Lightning flashed from Enel's body, and he couldn't wait to make a move.
"That's right. I just don't know how his strength is now, or how much of his peak remains."
After being defeated by Kaido, Moria fell into a bottomless path of depravity.
He drove the Thriller Bark into this foggy sea and established a zombie army. Since then, he had hidden deep within the fog and started his career as an otaku.
For so many years, Moria had neglected his training, slept most of the time, and occasionally bullied some newbie pirates. As a result, his strength had declined.
This led to his defeat by the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just debuted a few years later.
"Let's go in and have a look. Everyone invited us, so it would be impolite not to go."
Lucifer anchored the ship, and everyone prepared to land on the island.
Suddenly, Enel shot out a bolt of lightning at Baby5, who was standing on the deck.
Enel's sudden attack startled Cavendish and Baby5, but the thunderbolt didn't hit Baby5. Instead, it struck the air behind her.
What?!
There were screams in the air, and a figure slowly appeared from thin air.
The figure fell onto the deck, his body scorched black and twitching violently.
"Hey, who is this guy? Can he turn invisible?"
Cavendish was taken aback.
"Hmph, just a pervert!"
There was disgust in Baby5's eyes.
She understood what this man was trying to do, and she nodded to Enel in gratitude.
This person was one of the three monsters under Moria—Absalom, who had the ability of the Transparent-Transparent Fruit, a Paramecia-type.
He was a pervert through and through, often using his ability to spy on women.
It was a miracle that he had used the Transparent Fruit like this.
"Kill him. There's no point in keeping him alive."
With a swift motion, Lucifer shot a flying sword through Absalom's throat.
Ding, Host killed the pirate Absalom and gained 3500 kill points.
Very cheap. He was just trash.
Afterward, Lucifer used the power of the Word-Word Fruit to recover the Transparent-Transparent Fruit.
The ability of the Transparent-Transparent Fruit was powerful; making one's body transparent was just the most obvious way to use it.
A truly strong user of this fruit could eliminate their presence entirely, making them undetectable by Observation Haki.
It could be described as the strongest fruit for assassination and sneak attacks!
"Let's go. Let's explore the island."
Lucifer stored the Transparent-Transparent Fruit and led everyone to land on the island.
The island was dark and eerie.
There were sounds from the surrounding forest now and then, adding to the unsettling atmosphere.
"There are so many people on this island. Are they all enemies?"
Enel suddenly said.
Using Observation Haki, he sensed a large number of life forces in the forest—thousands of them.
"No. These are just a bunch of unfortunate souls captured by Moria. We don't need to worry about them."
In the world of One Piece, the weak are preyed upon by the strong. These people were captured by Moria, had their shadows taken, and lost their freedom. It's their own fault for being too weak.
Lucifer had no plans to rescue them.
And after defeating Moria, their shadows would naturally return to their original owners.
Lucifer and the others passed through the forest cemetery, defeating every zombie that appeared along the way.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to the central castle.
"Hahahahahahahahaha!"
Suddenly, a burst of manic laughter echoed.
A few white ghosts appeared above Lucifer's head, floating left and right, their cute faces staring at them.
"Oh, Captain, there really are ghosts!"
Cavendish was excited and intrigued by the ghosts.
"Hmph, if zombies have appeared, then why would ghosts be strange?"
Baby5 said, exhaling smoke rings.
"It's just a trick to pretend to be a ghost!"
Enel struck first, waving his palm to unleash a brontosaurus attack at the ghosts in the sky.
But unfortunately, the brontosaurus passed right through the ghosts, and they remained unharmed.
"It's useless. These are spirit bodies; physical attacks won't work!"
"You need to use Armament Haki!"
