Roux looked at the group of zombies that had been dealt with, then quickly turned his gaze to the only pig head remaining on the wall.
He walked over, rubbing his hands together, and without hesitation, yanked the pig head shield from the wall, urgently demanding to know the whereabouts of Nami, Chopper, and Usopp.
The pig head tried to maintain a smile: "Ah... those three are sleeping soundly in the dormitory right now! It's wonderful, they are very safe."
However, Franky looked at the pig head with suspicion, saying disdainfully, "How is that possible?"
The pig head seemed a little flustered, and he quickly pointed to the stairs leading upstairs, saying, "It's true, you'll know if you go up and see.
Just follow that staircase all the way in, and you'll find them."
Franky began to look around the environment, suddenly feeling something was amiss.
At this moment, both the pig and the hanging scroll zombies lying on the ground revealed sinister smiles.
Roux asked, puzzled, "What are they laughing at?"
Orochimaru looked at the still relatively clean castle, poked his head out, resting his snake head on Robin's shoulder, and reminded her, "Don't you think someone is missing? Where did Sanji go?"
Zoro glanced at the pig head. "As expected, you played some tricks when we weren't paying attention... Too bad, someone's missing."
After looking around, Roux looked at Robin and was silent for a moment, then directly pulled Orochimaru off Robin and placed him on his own shoulder.
Only then did he nod with satisfaction: "Hmm... this is indeed more suitable.
Never mind Sanji for now."
Robin crossed her arms, her gaze leisurely falling on Orochimaru on Roux's shoulder, and she said thoughtfully, "In any case, we have no other clues now, we can only rely on our instincts to move forward.
Even if we threaten these guys, they might not tell us the truth.
Let's find Nami, Chopper, and Usopp first."
Zoro glanced at the pig, a slight smile playing on his lips: "However, we can take this pig to lead the way for us.
It should know a lot about this island."
The zombies on the ground laughed eerily, like demons from hell.
They made sharp sounds: "Our true boss is Gekko Moriah of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Ah~ just mentioning that name makes us feel fear~ Your Companions in the real world will not be safe, they will disappear one by one.
Go ahead and regret it, fall into despair that no one can save!"
Roux's expression became serious, he clenched his fists tightly, and walked step by step in front of a group of zombies.
He lifted his foot and forcefully crushed the bothersome photo frame underfoot, his eyes flashing with firm light.
"...You're so noisy, you're killing me.
Then go tell that idiot named Moriah that if anything happens to my Companions, I'll send him and this island flying."
Roux, who couldn't be serious for more than three seconds, picked his nose. "Besides, Sanji won't die even if we don't bother with him.
Alright, let's go... Achoo! Orochimaru, what are you doing!"
Roux, who was picking his nose, suddenly had his wrist swatted away by Orochimaru's tail.
Roux uncontrollably sneezed, and the shark-faced man looked at the snake on his shoulder.
Then he reacted, tilted his head, whistled, and took the wet wipe Robin handed him, wiping his hands while muttering to himself, 'What a hassle.'
Franky, ignoring the pig's resistance and roars, carried the pig upstairs.
In the narrow corridor, Zoro also disappeared unknowingly.
Robin expressionlessly covered her face. "Incredible, not a sound.
Was he strangled to death?"
"Why are your and Orochimaru's thoughts always so ominous!" Franky complained speechlessly to Robin, then reacted... Where's Orochimaru... Why didn't he hear Orochimaru's complaints?
Roux turned his head to look at his shoulder and suddenly realized.
"Shimabatta!!!!! I lost Orochimaru again!"
On the other side, when Orochimaru discovered the rats, he curiously scurried onto Zoro and was taken away with him.
Placed in a sealed coffin, the lid was soon opened, and Zoro was grabbed by a large hand.
Zoro struggled, suspended in the air, a flash of light passed, and Zoro's Shadow was projected, as the scissors approached.
In Orochimaru's eyes, Moriah cut Zoro's Shadow across space, then he fainted and was piled up with Sanji.
Orochimaru hid in Zoro's previous coffin, pondering.
He hadn't figured it out yet, so he would observe again.
Zoro shouldn't mind |°з°|.
The next one should be enough for him to figure it out... Orochimaru thought so, assuming that the wriggling armored thing wasn't Roux.
Orochimaru was a bit silent (●─●).
To save or not to save, that is a deeply considered question.
Perhaps confirm first?
As Orochimaru was thinking, the door of the room opened, and three people entered, instantly brightening the entire room.
Gekko Moriah looked at his three subordinates and laughed loudly.
"Have you all come... Hehehehehehe, make me the Pirate King."
"What Pirate King!! The man who will become the Pirate King is me!!!" The armored figure in the cage, bundled like a silkworm cocoon, suddenly spoke.
Alright, no need to confirm, it's Roux.
"Hey!!! Untie the ropes! You big guy! Usopp! Nami! Chopper! Sanji! Zoro! Orochimaru! Give everyone back to me! Where did you hide them all!! You garlic head!"
The surgeon Hogback looked at Roux. "What great spirit! Is this Straw Hat Luffy!"
Ghost Princess Perona, with her princess umbrella draped over her shoulder, said in a languid tone, "He doesn't look like a Pirate who would challenge the World Government at all."
The invisible man Absalom looked at Roux strangely. "Why is he wearing the Zombie General's armor?"
Roux flailed and sat up. "Even you don't understand! This is a man's romance!" Roux, who had finally managed to sit up, saw Hogback and looked at him angrily.
"Hey!!! Why are you wearing Orochimaru's clothes!!! What did you do to him!!!"
...Orochimaru in the coffin was silent, looked at the chainmail on him... and then looked at the fishnet top on the fat Hogback, comforting himself... It's okay... wearing the same outfit isn't scary, whoever is uglier is more embarrassed, but that idiot Roux...
Gekko Moriah looked at the bounty poster in his hand with a solemn expression. "You mean your first mate Orochimaru... You said he was captured by our people?"
"That's right!!" Roux flailed and bit the cage, directly biting through it and wriggling out.
Fearing that the idiot would say anything more, Orochimaru's Shadow Clone emerged from the corner, holding his forehead. "So... Roux... I'm just saying, how about you use your brain a little?"
Moriah looked at Orochimaru, who had walked out, and was silent.
Perona and Absalom were also silent, glancing at Hogback, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Finally, Moriah couldn't hold back.
"My dear subordinate... the genius surgeon... Hogback... How about... we don't wear this fishnet outfit anymore?"
