Chapter 90
Splash... Splash...
The giant warship sailed forward. After an unknown amount of time...
"Hm? Found it."
On the deck, Rorschach, who had been chatting with Mikita, suddenly stood up after sensing something with his Observation Haki. The corners of his mouth curled up as he muttered.
"What’s wrong, Captain Rorschach?"
Mikita was caught off guard by his sudden excitement. They had been chatting normally just a second ago.
Was he planning to do something here? Mikita quickly shook her head. Why is my mind so dirty lately?
"Mikita, steer toward that direction."
Rorschach pointed in a certain direction.
"Got it."
In the thick fog where nothing was visible, Mikita had no idea what had excited Rorschach so much. However, trusting him completely, she didn’t ask any questions and adjusted the helm according to his instructions.
Rorschach’s Observation Haki had already covered a vast sea area. Just now, he had sensed a large concentration of life signatures in one particular direction. If he wasn’t mistaken, that should be the location of Thriller Bark.
During their earlier chat, he had sensed some life forms, but they were sparse and concentrated in small areas. He had assumed they were humans whose shadows had been stolen by Moria, wandering this sea region.
But the current detection covered a much larger range, so he was certain this was Thriller Bark.
Sure enough, not long after, a massive black shadow resembling a mountain appeared ahead.
"What is that? A Sea King? Or an island?"
At this moment, Nami walked out of the cabin, looking at the enormous black shadow with confusion.
She had just gone back for a nap and had woken up. The moment she activated her Observation Haki to check the surroundings, she picked up a large number of life signatures and immediately came to the deck.
She thought she had slept long enough to exit the Devil’s Triangle and reach the next island. She didn’t expect there to be an island in this area.
"No, that’s a giant ship — the main culprit behind the frequent disappearances in the Devil’s Triangle over the years. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, ’Moonlight’ Moria." freёwebnovel.com
The corners of Rorschach’s mouth lifted slightly. He didn’t keep them in suspense and directly revealed the truth along with Moria’s name.
"Another Warlord of the Sea?! Should we take a detour?"
"No, just sail straight over."
"Eh? This is also one of your targets? Don’t tell me you’re after his crew again? Like you did with Sister Robin and Mikita?"
Hearing this, Nami immediately understood Rorschach’s intention. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
He had come to this sea area and seemed very familiar with it. He was clearly here for the Warlord.
However, she wasn’t sure what his exact goal was. Thinking back to what happened to the previous Warlord, Crocodile, she casually asked about his intentions.
"Uh... well, not entirely."
Rorschach felt a little embarrassed. Nami really was like a worm in his stomach — one of the people who understood him best on the ship.
"Just as I thought." Nami facepalmed helplessly after seeing his reaction.
She had only asked casually, but Rorschach’s response confirmed her guess.
"Do you have a thing for stealing other people’s crew members? I’ve noticed most of our crew were taken from someone else."
Nami said somewhat speechlessly. It was a shame she didn’t have the concept of NTR, otherwise she would’ve roasted Rorschach hard for being such a "golden-haired homewrecker."
"Hehe." Rorschach simply chuckled.
"Well, whatever. With your current strength, even a Warlord shouldn’t pose any threat. Do as you like."
Nami waved her hand casually, indicating she couldn’t be bothered to care anymore.
As they drew closer, the full appearance of the massive black shadow was finally revealed to Rorschach and the other two.
The rest of the crew in the cabins also sensed the commotion and came out one after another.
"What is this place? It’s like a massive castle in the middle of the sea."
Everyone asked curiously.
The giant black shadow was an enormous island ship. The place was filled with a sense of decay and eeriness. Rather than an island ship, it looked more like a haunted castle. Compared to it, Rorschach’s giant warship was like an ant next to an elephant.
The outer perimeter of the island ship was surrounded by a huge wall, with four massive chains connecting to the giant mast in the center of the island.
The front gate of the castle was shaped like a giant mouth. Thriller Bark seemed to have detected Rorschach’s ship. Its huge mouth slowly opened, seawater rushing in, creating a current that looked like it wanted to swallow the giant warship whole.
Rorschach, of course, knew this was Moonlight Moria’s method of capturing passing ships. However, he didn’t resist and slowly sailed into the mouth.
What appeared before everyone was an island enclosed by broken inner walls. In the center, the faint black shadow of a massive castle could be seen.
The place looked like it was inhabited by demons and monsters.
On the shore were several old, spiderweb-covered pirate ships — likely vessels that had been shipwrecked here. In the end, their crews had failed to escape and were mercilessly devoured by the island ship.
Rorschach’s warship docked at the shore. After dropping anchor, the group disembarked onto the island.
The moment they stepped ashore, Rorschach’s Observation Haki detected a life form rapidly approaching.
"Be careful. The owner of this place has noticed us. Someone is rushing toward us right now."
Before Rorschach could speak, Nami had already warned them. Her ability to sense brainwaves was more sensitive than Rorschach’s, so she had detected it from far away.
A few minutes later, everyone present showed strange expressions.
Nami even shivered and fearfully hugged Rorschach’s arm.
"R-Rorschach... Do you think ghosts really exist in this world? There aren’t any actual monsters here, right?"
In this eerie environment and spooky atmosphere, they could sense something in the empty air ahead, yet nothing was visible.
As a former member of the "Cowardly Trio," even though Nami had become much stronger, her personality hadn’t changed much in two years. She was still afraid of ghosts and hadn’t even considered the possibility of a Devil Fruit user.
"Well, they do exist. Ghosts and such — nothing in this world is too strange."
Rorschach found it quite amusing and replied.
Meanwhile, Absalom, standing in front of them, stared wide-eyed at the group of beautiful girls with completely different styles. Seeing Rorschach surrounded by them, jealousy burned fiercely in his heart. He completely ignored that Kaku, Lucci, and Bruno — three men — were also standing off to the side.
Especially Nami, who was hugging Rorschach’s arm. Feeling a surge of desire, Absalom began walking toward Rorschach.
"Waaaah! Don’t come over!!!"
After Rorschach’s words, Nami’s face turned green with fear.
The moment she sensed Absalom approaching, she raised her hand and fired a powerful electromagnetic cannon at him.
A massive surge of electricity engulfed the Clear-Clear Fruit user. A huge explosion erupted in the dark forest behind him.
Poor Absalom was eliminated without even getting a single line.
