Special Case

The Grandline, Hadza Island, the Ol Jackson, and the parrot slowly docked at the island's coast. The members of the Roger Pirates slowly walked down from the ship and stepped on the beach. Some members were excited, and some members were disappointed.

"Ah, I thought it was a prosperous island, but it turned out to be deserted. It is disappointing."

"That's right, that's right. Wine, food, and girls are all gone."

"What are you talking about? Isn't it the right time to take risks on such an island?" The crew expressed their opinions to each other.

"Alright! The expedition team is ready! Prepare to set off!" Baji's lively voice suddenly rang out. Baji was wearing a cute little hat and a ridiculous red nose, and his right hand was raised high, looking happy and excited.

"Yo! Let's go, adventure!" Shanks responded very cooperatively, and he was ready to go with Baji.

"Hey, Locke, Barett, hurry up and catch up. Let's go take the risk!" Shanks immediately shouted when he saw Locke and Barett standing to the side without moving. He glanced at Shanks and Baji, who was too lazy to pay attention to them.

"Let's go, Barett."After greeting Barett, Locke and Barett left in different directions. As he watched Locke and Barett leave, Shanks scratched his head.

"It's tough to get along with Locke and Barett." Then, he ignored the two of them and happily explored the island's depths with Baji.

"Hey, Locke, where are we going?" Barett followed behind Locke and asked with a grin. Locke casually explained when he heard Barett's question.

"I can sense that this island has many powerful beast auras. We can use those beasts to test the new power we have just comprehended."

"Oh, so that's how it is. As expected of you, Locke!" Barett laughed when he heard this. He clenched his fists and looked eager to try. Half a day later, Locke and Barett unknowingly walked to a valley on the island.

Broken buildings, broken stones, and collapsed trees could be seen everywhere in the valley. Locke frowned as he looked at the ruined village. He sensed this ruined town was filled with a sinister and terrifying aura.

"Locke, do you feel a cold aura?" Barett sensitively frowned and looked around. He spoke to Locke in a severe tone. After hearing Barett's words, Locke seemed even more confident.

"Did you feel it too? The information I received from my Kenbunshoku is that we have been surrounded by something. After saying this, Locke drew the sword at his waist.

Buzz -

When the sword was unsheathed, a purple halo spread out from his body and covered a three-meter radius around him and Barett. Seeing Locke's actions, Barett clenched his fists and prepared to fight at any time.

Shanks and Buggy's exploration team walked on the other side of the valley for half a day and unconsciously arrived at a forest. "Hey, Shanks, look, there's a pirate ship in front!" Baji suddenly saw a tattered pirate ship and immediately cried out in alarm.

Hearing Baji's cry, Shanks looked over and immediately cried out in alarm. "There's a pirate ship in the forest! What's going on!" The two quickly ran towards the pirate ship. When the two people came close to the pirate ship, they finally saw the whole appearance of the pirate ship. The rotten hull and broken holes could be seen everywhere.

The originally hanging black sails were eaten by something. An unknown pirate flag was hanging on the ship's top, and the skull on the pirate flag was stained red. It was very bright, flashing with strange light under the sun. Shanks and Buggy climbed onto the deck of the rotten pirate ship with incredible difficulty.

When they arrived on the deck, they were immediately shocked by the scene on the ship. Because on the entire deck, corpses of white skeletons were lying everywhere. They were wearing the clothes they wore when they were alive. The white skeleton pistol held all kinds of weapons. There were spears, cannons, swords, and guns.

They were lying on the deck in all sorts of positions. Strangely, the empty wine bottles that had been casually discarded on the deck and the bones that had been eaten were everywhere. It looked like a banquet had just been held and was a mess. Looking at this strange scene, Shanks and Buggy felt a chill run down their spines.

"O-Shanks, I-we should leave quickly. This place is strange. I feel a little uneasy." Baji stuttered to Shanks. Shanks did not feel anything when he heard Baji's words. Although this scene looked a little strange, it was nothing to him, who was naturally optimistic and bold, full of adventurous spirit.

Shanks waved his hand at Baji and walked straight to the corpse of a Skeleton Sea Bandit. Squatting down, he took the weapon from the corpse of the Skeleton Sea Bandit and looked at it. "Hey, Baji, what are you afraid of? Don't you like treasures?

This tattered pirate ship must have a lot of treasures. Let's go and look for them." Shanks picked up the weapon and looked at it. Then he called Baji. Buggy immediately threw his fear away when he heard about the treasure and excitedly ran toward Shanks.

"What did you say? Treasure! That's great! Quick, Shanks, let's go find the treasure!"

"Haha, let's go, Buggy. We'll go find the treasure."

"Rumble!!"

Before Shanks could finish speaking, a loud explosion interrupted him. Following the explosion, a massive wave of air swept through the entire forest. Shanks and Buggy looked up in the direction of the blast at the same time.

"What happened over there?"

This question rang in their minds at the same time.

"Crack!"

Just as Shanks and Buggy were puzzled and prepared to take a look, a strange sound rang out beside them. Hearing the peculiar sound, Shanks and Buggy looked over simultaneously. Then, a terrifying scene happened before their eyes.

The Skeleton Sea Bandits, initially lying everywhere, slowly stood up. That strange sound was their bones colliding when they stood up. It was unknown when the wind had started.

The originally bright sky had been covered by dark clouds at some point, blocking the sunlight. As he watched the Skeleton Sea Bandits slowly get up, pick up their weapons, and slowly surround him with bloodshot eyes, Buggy immediately screamed.

"Xiang, Shanks! Skeleton, skeletons are resurrected! Skeletons surround us! What should we do?" Shanks looked at the Skeleton Sea Bandits, slowly surrounding him and Buggy with solemn expressions, and pulled out the long sword at his waist.

"Buggy, stop talking nonsense and prepare to fight!" At this time, the other Roger pirates resting on the coast looked up at the sky in surprise.

"Hey, it was the sun just now. Why is it suddenly dark? Is it going to rain?" A member of Roger Pirates looked up at the sky and said with a bit of curiosity.

Roger, Rayleigh, and Jia Ba looked at the sky that suddenly became dark. "There's always a bad feeling, brother." A massive explosion rang out as Roger finished speaking, resounding over the entire island. "Eh, What happened!" Hearing the explosion, everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the blast.

"It seems that something we don't know happened on this island. Brother, our adventure has begun! Hehehe!" Roger said with a smile and walked toward Shanks and Baji. Rayleigh smiled and walked to the other side where Locke and Barett were.

At this time, Locke and Barett looked at the monsters surrounding them with serious expressions. "What the hell is this thing?"
