One Piece: Lord Of Shadows

"Luke-sama… We are arriving on Jaya Island soon!"

While Luke, Perona, and other cadres were enjoying the delicious breakfast, a zombie hurried over and reported the situation.

"Oh?"

Spitting out a bone, Luke stood up and chuckled: "Is it finally here?"

The next moment, he looked sharply.

All the muscles in his body were tense, and he activated the Life Return.

"Brush..." Because a large amount of food was consumed, the slightly bulging belly shook slightly and instantly became as flat as usual.

A vague island grew larger on the sea ahead and became clearly visible.

"That is…"

"It's a giant ship!"

"Gulu! That's too big!"

Now, on Jaya Island.

There are a large number of pirate ships docked on the coast.

Groups of fierce-looking pirates gathered there.

Noticing the huge ship coming slowly on the sea, they all couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

They have obviously never seen such a big ship before.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~, Luke, this island is a lawless zone that is not under the jurisdiction of the world government. A large number of pirates gather all year round..."

Dr. Hogback didn't bother to wipe the grease in his mouth and excitedly said: "Now I don't have to worry about materials!"

He clearly did his homework and learned the situation on Jaya Island.

This town called the Town of Ridicule, is mostly inhabited by pirates despite the fact that it looks like a resort.

"Well, apart from some aborigines, there are indeed many pirates..."

Luke nodded with satisfaction: "If we sew their shadows together, it should be almost enough to resurrect the remaining zombie generals!"

He is not a good person.

He doesn't care whether these pirates have offended him or not.

There is no psychological burden at all on using the shadows of these pirates to create a zombie army.

However, in order to prevent accidents, it is too troublesome to imprison so many pirates in the dungeon at once.

Still have to filter them.

It is better to be deficient than excessive.

"It would be great if I could get the ability of Paramecia: Book-Book Fruit or Paramecia: Hobby-Hobby Fruit..." Luke touched his chin and thought secretly.

The Book-Book Fruit can lock the target into the picture books and maintain the locked state for a long time without hunger or aging…

There is no need to waste food and worry about them escaping.

Directly saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

As for the Hobby-Hobby Fruit, he can turn these guys into toys after stripping them of their shadows, then make a rule to make them work day and night.

Even if their shadow is taken away, and they cannot appear in the sun.

It can also allow these tool-people to work for themselves in the dark underground.

Implanting their shadows into corpses can also create a zombie army.

It has to be said that the Hobby-Hobby Fruit matches the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit quite well.

It can bring the value of a captive to the ultimate level.

Capitalists are not that even vicious.

He glanced at the white clouds and the blue sky, and then he directly ordered: "Then, I'll leave this place to you!"

Some smelly fish and rotten shrimp.

The strongest pirate on this island is estimated to have a bounty of no more than 50 million Belly.

There is no need for him to take action personally.

"Luke, I wanted to ask you a question..." Brook asked curiously: "Is it just for these guys that you came here specifically?"

Based on what he knew about Luke these days, the other party's purpose was unlikely to be this.

If he just wants the shadows of those powerful pirates.

Even if they don't go to the New World, wouldn't it be better to go directly to the Sabaody Archipelago?

Being the last stop before going to the New World, there is bound to be a large number of powerful pirates gathered there.

With Luke's own strength alone, it doesn't take much effort to deal with the pirates who haven't been to the New World yet.

Especially with the privileges of Seven Warlords of the Sea, Marine will probably not interfere.

"Of course not; they just happened to be on the way..."

Luke chuckled, then he pointed to the sky: "My goal is up there!"

"Up there?"

Looking at the sky, Hogback on the side thought of something.

He opened his mouth wide and looked at Luke in disbelief and excitement: "Luke, is the legend of the City of Gold true?"

They had followed Gecko Moria and had been in the first half of the Grand Line for so long. 

Naturally, they had heard the legend about the City of Gold.

"The legendary City of Gold?"

Brook was full of astonishment and said there: 

"Back then, our Rumbar Pirates also thought about searching for it, but in the end, we gave up..."

"Luke-sama, could it be that... the City of Gold is up there?"

Perona stared blankly at the sky above with her big round eyes: "How is this possible?"

"It's hard to say whether the City of Gold is up there..."

Luke shrugged and said nonchalantly: "But Sky Island does exist!"

"I'll go up and investigate first. You guys wait for me here and get rid of the pirates in the town..."

"If everything goes well, I will take you up there to open your eyes and see the legendary Sky Island!"

A man of great skill is bold; he is not worried about Enel's threat.

At least, with the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, if he wanted to leave, few people in this sea could stop him.

What's more, although Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability is indeed very powerful, Luke didn't feel that Enel, who was arrogant and settled in a corner and could only rely on his devil fruit abilities to dominate Sky Island, could threaten him.

This is confidence in one's own strength.

Moreover, he was not without other preparations.

"Understood!"

Hearing Luke's words, the three were all excited.

Although they were a little shocked, they certainly had no doubts about Luke's words.

You know, this man is an elite member of Cipher Pol Number 9, which is directly under the World Government. 

It is not surprising that he knows some unknown secrets.

For a moment, they were full of longing for the legendary Sky Island.
