Thriller Bark, the half-collapsed main mansion castle.
Zombies crawled out of the ruins, grumbling.
One of the headless zombies fumbled around with its hands, picking up a charred head and gesturing with it.
Just then.
"Ah."
"Ah, ah, ah."
Other nearby zombies suddenly let out terrified screams.
"Lord Absalom!"
"That's Lord Absalom's head!"
"Lord Absalom is dead, dead, dead… dead!"
"How could this be… That's Lord Absalom, one of the Three Strange People!"
The zombies cried out in panic, digging out piece after piece of Absalom from the ruins.
Thud!
A loud sound.
A huge figure leaped down from the upper level of the castle.
"Mo-Mo… Lord Moria."
The zombies tremblingly held up Absalom's body parts, too scared to even speak a complete sentence.
Even as zombies, they could feel the volcanic rage erupting within Moria's heart at that moment.
"Absalom!!!"
Shichibukai Moria's shrill, owl-like scream echoed under the gloomy sky.
Looking at his scattered subordinate, his mind couldn't help but recall the painful memory from twenty years ago.
In Wano Country of the New World, his companions died tragically one after another in front of him, using their lives to buy him time to escape.
Since that time, a thought had formed in Moria's mind—because you live, you will lose!!!
He began to vigorously develop a zombie army; only undead zombies would prevent him from enduring the pain of loss again.
Yet now...
He tasted the pain of losing a companion once more.
One of his only three companions was dead, with no complete corpse.
How could this not leave Moria heartbroken and furious?
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn you, Air Force! To… to dare to kill Absalom, to kill my important subordinate, I will absolutely not forgive you!!!"
Moria roared furiously, looking up at the sky.
"Zombies, all hands assemble!!!"
...
...
Forest, graveyard.
"Haunted house~ Haunted house~ An interesting haunted house~"
Bonney, wearing a classic bug catcher girl outfit, walked excitedly at the forefront.
Rustle~
Snap~
In the gloomy forest, strange noises occasionally came.
"Nami, something seems wrong here, it just doesn't look right!"
Vivi clutched Nami's arm, looking around in a panic.
"Don't worry, all fear comes from insufficient firepower!"
Nami comforted her calmly, not flustered in the slightest.
"Vivi, don't be scared, I'll protect you too~"
Ulti patted her chest, promising with full vigor.
"Hmm? Something's coming!"
Robin raised an eyebrow.
No sooner had she spoken.
With a soft 'pop' sound.
From the graveyard not far ahead, a withered hand broke through the earth.
"I hate it so much~ I hate it so much~"
"Humans! Why disturb our slumber?"
"Do you also wish to sleep eternally in a grave?"
One by one, the haunted house staff broke through the earth, emitting professional, eerie whispers.
"Aah… Aaaah!"
A girl's scream pierced the sky.
Vivi immediately buried her head between Nami's assets.
Nami, who prided herself on ample firepower, also turned a little pale after seeing actual zombies.
"Hmph, what a bunch of tricksters!"
Karifa simply didn't believe these were real zombies.
Her thorny whip lashed out like a snake, effortlessly decapitating several nearby zombies.
"Eh? Why are they still… moving?"
Karifa was stunned, watching the headless zombies still moving.
"They're still alive even like this, these truly are immortal zombies!"
Robin activated her Flower-Flower Fruit and Wood Release, twisting the zombies' bodies into pretzels, arranging them in various poses.
"Don't come any closer, aaaaah!!!"
Kuina closed her eyes, wildly swinging White Oar & Black Oar (Swords), chopping the zombies' bodies into pieces as if cutting vegetables.
"Wah-yah-yah, they're really zombies! Everyone, let's catch a few to keep as pets!"
Bonney was even more ferocious.
"Absolutely not!!!"
Nami, Vivi, and the other girls rejected in unison.
"Hehehe, let this great one have a taste…Pooh, a rotten smell, not tasty!"
Teapot Shukaku spat wildly in disgust.
The zombies: "???"
Not good!
This is a tough crowd!
Retreat quickly!
However...
It was too late to run now.
In just a short minute.
All the scary zombies were packed into cages by Robin.
"Quickly, honestly confess! What kind of ghostly things are you exactly!"
