Grand Line, Hasalik Island, the two ships, Oro Jackson and Parrot, slowly docked at the coast of the island.
The members of Roger's pirate group slowly walked down from the ship and stepped onto the beach.
Some members were excited. Some members were disappointed.
"Oh, I thought it was a prosperous island, but it turned out to be a deserted island. It's really disappointing."
"That's right, the wine, the food, and the girls are all gone."
"What are you talking about! Isn't it just right to take risks when encountering an island like this?"
The crew members expressed their opinions to each other.
"Alright! The expedition team is ready! Get ready to go!"
Bucky's energetic voice suddenly rang out.
I saw Bucky wearing a cute little hat and a funny red nose, with his right hand raised high, looking happy and excited.
"Yo! Go on an adventure!"
Shanks responded very cooperatively and followed Buggy to prepare to set off.
"Hey, Rocks, Barrett, hurry up and catch up, it's time to go on an adventure!"
Looking at Rocks and Barrett who were standing aside without any movement, Shanks suddenly shouted loudly.
Rocks glanced at Shanks and Buggy and didn't bother to pay attention.
"Let's go, Barrett."
After saying hello to Barrett, Rocks left with Barrett in different directions.
Looking at Rocks and Barrett leaving, Shanks scratched his head.
"It's really difficult to get along with Rocks and Barrett."
Afterwards, he ignored the two of them and happily went to explore the depths of the island with his arm around Buggy's shoulders.
"Hey, Rocks, where are we going?"
Barrett asked with a grin as he followed Rocks.
When Rocks heard Barrett's question, he gave a casual explanation.
"My observation Haki has detected that there are many powerful beasts on this island. I think we can use those beasts to test the new power we just realized not long ago."
"Oh, I see. As expected of you, Rocks!"
Barrett laughed when he heard this, clenched his fists, and looked eager to try.
Half a day later, Rocks and Barrett unknowingly walked to a valley on the island.
The valley was littered with broken buildings, splintered rocks and fallen trees.
Looking at the village that had been completely reduced to ruins, Rocks frowned.
Because in his perception, this dilapidated ruined town was filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
"Locks, do you feel a chilly aura?"
Barrett frowned sensitively, looked around, and spoke to Rocks in a slightly serious tone.
After hearing Barrett's words, Rocks seemed to understand something more clearly.
"You feel it too. My observation Haki tells me that we seem to be surrounded by something."
After saying that, Rocks drew out the long sword from his waist.
"Buzz"
The moment the sword was unsheathed, a purple halo instantly spread out from his body, covering a three-meter area around him and Barrett.
Looking at Rocks' actions, Barrett instantly clenched his fists, ready to fight at any time.
Elsewhere in the valley, the exploration team of Shanks and Buggy, after half a day's walking, unknowingly walked into a forest.
"Hey, Shanks, look, there's a pirate ship ahead!"
Buggy suddenly saw a shabby pirate ship and exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing Buggy's shout, Shanks looked over and immediately exclaimed.
"There's actually a pirate ship in the forest! What's going on?!"
The two of them ran quickly towards the pirate ship.
When the two came close to the pirate ship, they finally saw the entire picture of the pirate ship.
The hull was decayed and holes were everywhere.
The black sail that was originally hung was gnawed by something and was broken into pieces.
An unknown pirate flag was hung on the roof of the ship. The skull on the flag was dyed red, which was extremely bright and flickered with an eerie light in the sun.
Shanks and Buggy climbed onto the deck of the rotten pirate ship with difficulty.
When they came to the deck, they were immediately shocked by the scene on the ship.
Because the entire deck was covered with corpses covered in white skeletons, and they were wearing the clothes they wore when they were alive.
White skull with pistol holding various weapons.
There were spears, cannons, swords, and muskets, lying on the deck in various postures.
What was strange was that empty wine bottles discarded randomly and gnawed leg bones of unknown species could be seen everywhere on the deck.
It looked like a banquet had just taken place and it was a mess.
Looking at this strange scene, Shanks and Buggy both felt a chill.
"Shanks, I, let's go quickly. I, I feel something strange here, and I feel a little uneasy."
Buggy stuttered to Shanks.
Shanks felt nothing when he heard Buggy's words.
Although this scene does look a bit weird, it is nothing for him who is naturally optimistic, bold and adventurous.
Shanks waved at Buggy and walked straight towards the corpse of a skeleton pirate.
He squatted down, took the weapon from the skeleton pirate's corpse and looked at it.
"Hey, Buggy, what are you afraid of? You like treasures, right? This shabby pirate ship must have a lot of treasures. Let's go look for it."
Shanks picked up the weapon and looked at it, then called out to Buggy.
When he heard about treasure, Buggy immediately threw away his fear and ran towards Shanks with his hands rubbing together excitedly.
"What did you say? Treasure! That's awesome! Come on, Shanks, let's go find the treasure!"
"Haha, let's go, Bucky, let's go find the treasure..."
“BOOM!!!!”
Before Shanks could finish his words, a huge explosion sounded, interrupting his words.
Following the explosion, a huge air wave swept across the entire forest.
Shanks and Buggy both looked up in the direction where the explosion came from.
"What happened over there?"
This question rang in the minds of both of them at the same time.
"Crack"
Just as Shanks and Buggy were puzzled and were about to go and take a look, a strange noise was heard beside them.
Hearing the strange noise, Shanks and Buggy looked at the same time, and then a horrifying scene happened before their eyes.
I saw the skeleton pirates who were originally lying everywhere slowly stood up.
The strange sound was caused by their bones colliding with each other when they stood up.
At some point, the wind started to blow.
The originally bright sky had been covered by dark clouds at some point, blocking the sunlight from setting.
Looking at the skeleton pirates who slowly stood up, picked up their weapons, and slowly surrounded him with their scarlet eyes, Buggy screamed.
"Shanks! The skeletons are resurrected! We are surrounded by skeletons! What should we do?!"
Shanks looked solemnly at the skeleton pirates who were slowly surrounding him and Buggy, and drew the sword from his waist.
"Bucky, stop talking nonsense and get ready to fight!"
At this time, the other members of Roger's pirate group who were resting on the coast looked up at the sky in surprise.
"Hey, it was sunny just now, how come it got dark all of a sudden? Is it going to rain?"
A member of Roger's pirate group looked up at the sky and said with a little curiosity.
Roger, Rayleigh and Jabba looked at the sky that suddenly turned dark with serious expressions.
"I always have a bad feeling, brother."
Just as Roger finished speaking, a huge explosion sounded, resounding over the entire island.
"Huh?! What happened!?"
Hearing the explosion, everyone's eyes turned to the explosion site.
"It seems like something has happened on this island that we don't know about. Brother, our adventure has begun! Hehehe!"
Roger said with a grin, and walked towards Shanks and Buggy.
Rayleigh smiled and walked to the other side, in the direction of Rocks and Barrett.
At this time, Rocks and Barrett were looking solemnly at the monsters that were surrounding them tightly.
"What the hell is this?!"
