Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

Three days later, on the Calm Belt.

A large Sea King, hundreds of meters long, had just emerged from the sea.

Then, it was directly struck by a flying slash, and its head was cut off mercilessly.

"Boom...!" 

The sea surface became turbulent, and blood dyed the sea red.

The bloody, exaggeratedly large corpse of Sea Kings lay across the sea.

It's really shocking.

"Oars, it's up to you, pull it up…

Ryuma put away his sword and stood up, then he turned around and left: "I still have to teach others swordsmanship and physical skills!"

Adhering to the principle of free labor, and don't let it be in vain.

These days, this special zombie, who is as powerful as Oars, is thrown into the training field by Luke to serve as a coach.

He's responsible for teaching physical skills and swordsmanship to Wyper, Robin, Brook, Lafitte, and others.

From time to time, he has to act as a sparring partner.

"Hey, you guy, don't order me!"

On the side, Oars said unhappily.

But the movements of his hands were very fast.

He threw out two huge iron ropes with hooks.

"Clang..." 

It accurately hooked the body of the large Sea Kings.

Showing quite exaggerated strength, he pulled it up easily.

"Don't be stunned!"

"Quick, take care of it..."

Then, those zombies who were already on standby started handling the Sea Kings.

They cut it into pieces and send it to cold storage as a food reserve.

"Roar!" 

At this moment, the strong smell of blood quickly attracted other Sea Kings.

An even larger Sea King, no less than a kilometer in length, opened its huge bloody mouth and was about to bite the body of the Sea King.

"Want to seize food from the tiger's mouth?"

Oars looked sharply.

His right foot was like lightning, and he swept out: "Tempest Kick: Line!"

"Whoosh!" accompanied by fierce wind pressure.

A huge wind blade shot out of the air in an instant and directly cut this huge and ferocious Sea king in half.

A huge bloody head rolled down, creating a big splash.

"Hey, today's mission is almost completed!"

"Tsk, tsk, what a monster!"

On the No. 1 training ground, Lafitte, who was training hard, couldn't help feeling a little inexplicable when he witnessed this scene.

This is not the first time he has seen it, but he still feels shocked every time he sees it.

In the past, he still felt that he was strong.

But after boarding this ship, his proud heart was quickly hit.

Needless to say, the two great zombie kings, Oars and Ryuma.

But forget about those zombie generals.

He couldn't even defeat a zombie captain.

But he feels more and more that he made the right choice.

Whether it's the six superhuman fighting skills, swordsmanship, or Haki's training methods... Luke opened it to all cadres.

There is also Ryuma, who personally taught him.

It was an eye-opener for Lafitte, and he benefited a lot.

He has to say that Luke's courage is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people.

It's true that when you doubt people, you don't use them, and when you employ people, you don't doubt them.

Even though he was a newcomer who had just joined, Luke had no intention of setting up a defense.

It seems that he is not afraid that he will leave after learning. 

"Of course…"

Following Luke's example, Wyper wears a Sea Prism Stone, lifts a heavy dumbbell while gritting his teeth, and says in a deep voice: "After all, they are monsters created by Luke-sama's own shadow, and before they were reborn, they were famous and powerful men on the sea!"

"This is also a test for us... What we have to do is to keep working hard, catch up, and surpass them!"

His eyes were full of determination.

This is the goal Wyper has set for himself.

He must surpass these zombie kings as soon as possible.

After all, if these zombies created by Luke cannot be surpassed by him, how can he become Luke's right-hand man in the future?

"You have said so, then I can't give in easily!" Looking blankly at Wyper, whose face was resolute, unswerving, and completely unwavering, Lafitte couldn't help but laugh.

Then he kept waving his sword and practicing the swordsmanship taught him by Ryuma for the past three days.

Although it is a bit difficult to directly surpass Ryuma, a special zombie with the strength of a great swordsman.

But he can't be too far behind.

"Yo ho ho ho, Lafitte..."

Brook came over and said with a smile: "Want to spar together?"

As a swordsman who also uses a cane's sword, he couldn't help but feel a little bit happy and wanted to compete with Lafitte.

Luke walked too fast if they didn't try to keep up.

Sooner or later, they will be left behind.

"Haha, I couldn't have wished for it!"

Lafitte's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.

In fact, he has long wanted to compete with Brook.

But because he just joined the Netherworld Pirate, he's not familiar with others yet, so it's too presumptuous.

The sun was shining brightly.

The sea breeze blows gently.

With this announcement, the Thriller Bark passed through the Calm Belt and officially entered the East Blue.

After practicing all morning, everyone was tired and hungry.

They went to have lunch in a restaurant that had just been built not far from the training ground.

A group of people gathered there to rest and chat.

"Luke, if nothing else happens, we should have arrived at East Blue!"

Looking at a chart of East Blue.

Lafitte took a piece of paper, wrote and drew there, and made some calculations.

Then he said directly to Luke: "According to this chart, it will take three days to reach Loguetown!"

As an excellent navigator, Lafitte had just left West Blue and entered the Grand Line not long ago, although his sailing skills still needed to be improved.

But naturally, they far exceeded those half-baked zombie navigators on the Thriller Bark.

He quickly determined the approximate location of the ship.

At this time, Luke just nodded and was about to say something.

The flying troops patrolling the surrounding sea areas in the sky issued an early warning.

A falcon flew down and landed in front of everyone.

"What's the matter?" Luke raised his eyebrows.

"Luke-sama..." Zombie Falcon reported there: "About ten nautical miles away, a large number of strange snails carrying houses on their backs are crawling on the sea!"
