One Piece: Arkham: Buggy the Clown

Chapter 42 Moonlight Moria

The moonlight on the sea is sometimes an intoxicating blush.

Reflected on the deep sea surface, it looked like a whole boat of red wine was suddenly poured out.

It's weird and yet extremely attractive.

Of course, there is also the possibility of dumping.
blood.

There was a pop.

On a red date colored pirate ship.

A tall man wearing a pirate captain's hat threw a noble dressed in luxurious silk into the sea like throwing a sack.

Bright red blood was oozing from the noble's body.

Like the red Phalaenopsis orchid that suddenly blooms on this intoxicating sea.

The pirate captain's eyes were a little dazed, but he couldn't help but take a sip of the tequila with precious carvings in his hand.

This was the nobleman's treasure and also their spoils of war.

Compared to this strong liquor, what he drank before could only be called wheat juice.

It doesn’t stop there either.

There were a few unrecognizable corpses thrown casually on the dirty and messy deck.

There are men and women.

These were all the spoils of their robbery.

The smelly pirates enjoyed wine and meat wantonly, killed several unarmed civilians to reward themselves, and burned a village that only knew how to beg for mercy to ashes.

Wine, meat and the cheers of companions can suppress all unnecessary emotions.

Only pleasure remains.

Someone couldn't wait to ask: "Captain, when are we going to the next village!"

"You son of a bitch, how long have you been out to sea and you're already thinking about the next village?!"

The captain licked the bottle and threw it away.

The gorgeous wine bottle hit the deck and shattered instantly.

"Wait!"

"I'd rather take a few more days to avoid that thick foggy sea."

"So are we going to the Sabaody Archipelago? I heard it's very chaotic there right now."

"Fuck off!" The pirate captain snatched another bottle of wine from his men and walked away staggeringly.

"I went to sea for money and women. Why would I bother to fight with those monsters?"

"Do you think I'm a lunatic like the Joker?"

"Yes, women and money!"

"And wine and meat!"

"Hahahaha!"

The crew members kept echoing.

The unbridled laughter immediately heated up the atmosphere on the boat.

The pirate captain took another gulp and the taste was incomparable to the bottle of tequila.

But he enjoyed this half-drunk, half-awake feeling.

Looking at the light white mist covering the surging sea under the crimson moonlight.

"Compared to those monsters, I would rather run into a ghost, hehe."

The pirate captain couldn't help but laugh at his own thoughts.

The smile continues.

A surging wave hit the ship under the cover of white fog.

The violent shaking and increasingly thick fog instantly sobered up the pirate group that had been wandering in the paradise section.

“…What is it?!”

"Something is moving underwater!"

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

The pirate captain threw the bottle away in disbelief, drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Bai Wu.

"I am the sea——"

The pirate captain paused.

He saw.
Suddenly, a terrifying gecko head as big as a sea king emerged from the white fog.

Then another turbulent current hit.

The gecko dragged its frog-like hands and swooped over. The pirate captain saw it more clearly.

But this scene is even clearer.

The courage inspired by the strong liquor disappeared in an instant!

This is a giant gecko that has been dead for who knows how long but is still swimming on the sea.

Half of its head was covered in erosion.

The other half of his face was terribly swollen, as if he had been soaked in water for who knows how many years.

Even the skin is pale.

The occasional moving, lonely eyeball is even more chilling.

"Sail, there is a sail!"

The crew pointed to the night sky with trepidation.

A completely black skeleton sail emerged from the white mist, with a circle of swaying dark flames on both sides of the white skeleton head.

Under the black sail is an island standing on the back of a dead gecko.

The pirate captain seemed to remember something, staring at the black sail and muttering:
"Moonlight Moriah."

The former Seven Warlords of the Sea
The silence of nearly ten years has made people forget that this terrifying ghost ship of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, which only sails at night, once caused countless terrifying legends on the sea.

The gecko's terrifying head swam slowly past their pirate ship.

The only remaining pale pupil didn't seem to even look at them.

The geckos moved very gently, and if it weren't for the turbulent currents beneath the fog, they wouldn't have discovered it so early.

It let us go!

The pirate captain was about to burst into tears, and his heart, which had been in his throat, suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, we are just insignificant little pirates.

He turned his back, and his originally rosy face had turned pale.

"leave here"

The pirate captain hadn't finished his words when he felt a chill running from his coccyx to the top of his head.

The gecko turned its head quietly.

It opened its mouth, and its long, rotten tongue rolled up the entire pirate ship.

There was a bang.

Swallowed the pirate ship whole.

Standing on the black sail, Bucky took everything in.

He had always wondered what powered Moria's ship.

Now the answer to the question is clear.

A dead gecko, or rather a gecko-shaped sea monster that has been dead for a long time.

The skin was similar in paleness to Moria's, with a faint layer of smooth mucous membrane on it.

This method is probably used to avoid the weakness of Moria's shadow control becoming ineffective when encountering sea water.

As for why this gecko can float on the sea surface and even support the weight of an island.
Bucky remembered the foul smell that came out of the gecko's intestines when it opened its mouth.

This is the same reason why dead people float.

The body of this giant gecko has long been corrupted, and the various gases produced from it actually support its huge body.

Moria controls the gecko through shadow control.

However, what Buggy was not sure about was whether the gecko's corpse appeared first, and then Moria built the island on the back of the corpse, or whether the gecko had already carried the island on its back.

After all, building an island is far more difficult than building a pirate ship.

"Hehehehe!"

"Go ahead, Ship of Terror! I will make sure the World Government knows the horror of Master Moria!"

not far away.

Moria rarely picked up his long sword again, pointing it at the empty night sky and shouting continuously.

I don’t know if it’s because he lost too much blood, but Moria’s body has shrunk by two sizes, but the long sword he used when he was young still looks a little small in his hand.

He looked very passionate.

It seems that I still have a little too much black.

Bucky stroked his chin and bit the corner of his mouth.

He thought of a more interesting question.

I wonder if this gecko can climb onto the red soil continent?
After all, being able to appear on the Grand Line means that the other party has successfully passed the Upside-Down Mountain...
