Three-eyed evil king of the pirate king

"He's awake."

"Boss, this kid is awake."

"She looks quite young. Tsk, it's a pity that I have to live in this dark corner for the rest of my life..."

The chaotic sounds in his ears made Karl suddenly open his eyes.

Barely pushing himself up, Karl looked around and found that he was surrounded by a group of beings who looked neither human nor ghosts.

These people look just like zombies outside, but they don't behave like zombies.

Of course, the most important thing is that Karl found that there were no shadows behind this group of people.

Karl put his hand next to the candlelight and sighed, because his shadow did not appear under the candlelight.

Karl knew that he failed in the battle with Moria. Although he did not lose his life, he lost his shadow. If he could not get his shadow back from Moria, he might not be able to touch the sun for the rest of his life.

"Where is this?" Karl asked the people on one side. After all, everyone was in the same boat now.

"This is the hollow of a big banyan tree in the forest. It's our base. It's pretty safe here. At least we've been able to live here for two years without any problems." One of the burly, leader-like men stood up and said.

In fact, this person is indeed the boss of everyone present. Compared with most people, this person looks much more normal.

There are many scars on this person's face, a thick brown beard covering the entire chin, curly hair hanging down to his shoulders, a broad chest, dark skin, muscular muscles, and an angular face.

The key is that Karl felt a unique aura belonging to the swordsman on the other party, and this aura seemed somewhat familiar.

"Who are you?" Karl looked confused, "I always feel like I've seen you somewhere."

"My name is Joe Dorman. I am one of the first people whose shadows were cut off by Moriah. Currently, my shadow is on Captain John. Of course, I am also the boss elected by the current victims." Named Joe Dorman The strong man explained.

Karl suddenly realized that when he fought against Moria before, Karl also fought against a group of general zombies, and was deeply impressed by Captain John among them. After all, the other party caused him a lot of trouble. No wonder he felt that Joe The swordsman aura on Daoman was so familiar.

"My name is Karl..." Karl finally introduced himself reluctantly.

For some reason, everyone suddenly fell silent.

Finally, it was Qiao Daoman who said: "Brother Carl, we have all seen your battle with Moria. You are very strong, stronger than me, so you should be our boss."

"I'm not interested." Karl said, and stood up to leave, but because the movement was too big, there were bursts of pain from the wound, so he had to sit back down.

"Little brother Carl, with his own strength, he will definitely not be able to regain his shadow. I have been waiting on this terrifying three-masted sailing ship for several years and tried many methods, but in the end they all ended in failure... Of course, I did not gain nothing. , because I know the weaknesses of these zombies." Joe Dorman said.

"It's salt," Karl said suddenly.

Joe Dorman: "..."

"So, I only need to regain some strength, then find the zombie hosting my shadow, purify it with salt, take back my own shadow, and then I can escape. As for your life and death, what does it have to do with me?" Karl A scoff.

"What you said makes sense." Qiao Daoman sighed, but said, "However, you may not be able to defeat the zombie in your shadow."

"Oh?" Karl raised his eyebrows, "It seems you know something."

"Yes, if I guess correctly, your shadow was probably stuffed into the body of the legendary dragon-slaying warrior by Moriah, that is, the swordsman named Ryoma!"

"The swordsman Ryoma, even among us swordsmen, is a big figure like a legend. Such a big man may not be able to exert his full strength because of your shadow, but he must be under your control in all aspects. Above... How can you win against an opponent whose moves are the same as yours, but whose qualities are better than yours in all aspects?" Qiao Daoman shook his head, looking like he was thinking about you.

Karl carefully estimated the timeline, and his expression turned ugly.

Because according to the timeline, it will be about next year when Brook comes here. In other words, at this time, Ryoma has indeed not inserted anyone's shadow, so it is really possible that Ryoma will be inserted into his own body. shadow.

As Oz is Moria's ace zombie, Carl does not think he is qualified to be included. Furthermore, he uses a sword and has not shown strong physical skills in front of Moria, so it is unlikely that he will be included. Give it to Oz.

"How long have I been unconscious?" Karl suddenly asked.

"You fought with Moriah before and were pushed to the limit. Later, your shadow was cut off by Moriah, so you were unconscious for a long time. It has been a day." Qiao Daoman answered truthfully.

"So, my shadow has been away from me for a day?" Karl looked ugly again.

"So you'd better think about it again. Cooperation is a win-win situation." Qiao Daoman said, and was about to leave. "Remember to have a good rest, we need your strength."

"Wait!" Karl suddenly stopped Joe Dorman.

"Is there anything else?" Qiao Daoman turned around and asked.

"...Do you have any clothes here?" Karl coughed twice.

"You're too short. Don't tell me we don't have extra clothes. Even if we do, you probably won't be able to wear them. And aren't your clothes quite cute?" Qiao Daoman looked at them and said.

Karl: "...shut up."

……

It took about a week for Carl to fully recover from his injury.

"Uncle Qiao Daoman, prepare some salt for me. I'm going to meet the dragon-slaying swordsman Ryoma for a while." Karl picked up the black cutter with a serious and serious expression.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Qiao Daoman threw a small bag of salt to Karl and asked.

Karl shook his head, "I'm really not sure I can defeat the opponent, but the opponent probably doesn't dare to kill me. After all, if I die, the shadow will dissipate and Ryoma will turn into a corpse again."

"That will help you have good luck." Qiao Daoman said, and continued to chat and brag with the others. After all, this was their only way to spend time.

After walking out of the forest, Karl did not hide his whereabouts and walked directly to the zombie cemetery.

Karl knew that his fighting power must have been seen by many zombies in the last battle with Beria. Ordinary zombies would not dare to provoke Karl. In addition, Karl's shadow is of great use to Ryoma. , so his life is protected to a certain extent.

Arriving at the zombie cemetery, Carl deliberately made some noises, but strangely, the zombies buried underground had no intention of emerging from the ground.

Karl's intelligence and domination can sense that there are many zombies in the mud, and they all have signs of activity, but they just can't come out dead or alive.

"Someone can talk." Karl said.

It's good now, the zombie noodle bar in the mud shows no signs of activity, and it's like a real dead body, motionless.

Some blue veins popped up on Carl's forehead. He held the "Black Cut" and slashed a sword beam at the land in front of him. A large area of ​​land was turned up by the blade beam, revealing the zombies hiding underneath.

Seeing the ferocious Carl, the exposed zombies panicked and tried to burrow underground one by one.

But Karl stepped forward and grabbed one, and said to the zombies, "Whoever runs away again will end up like this!"

As he spoke, Karl took out a piece of salt and flicked it into the zombie's mouth.

The effect of salt is really good. Seeing their zombie companions who were directly purified, the zombies no longer dare to make any big moves.

"Do you know where my shadow has gone?" Karl looked at a round-headed zombie.

"This...I don't know!" The zombie was about to cry without tears.

Karl thought for a while and felt that the other party might really not know, so he changed the question.

"Then do you know where Absalom is?" Karl continued to ask.

"Master Abu should be reading in the study at this time." Another zombie answered without hesitation.

"Reading? I didn't expect this half-orc to be a cultural person." Karl touched his chin, and after learning the location of Absalom, he walked towards the palace.
