Chapter 96: Song in the Fog
Tony looked at his gun in Nicholas's hand. Nicholas looked at the bleeding wound on Tony's arm. Both fell into silence at the same time.
"Forget it, let's just leave it at that."
Looking at the exquisitely crafted Pistol in his hand, Nicholas directly threw it onto the table. Obviously, he had checked that the Gun was fine before he shot, and with his Strength, it was impossible for him to even hold the Gun unsteadily. The only explanation was that the Gambling Luck of the guy named Tony opposite him was indeed a bit outrageous.
Hearing Nicholas's words, Tony also closed his eyes in pain. What was coming was finally here. He didn't expect that he would have to explain himself here before even entering the New World. There were still many Islands in the New World that he hadn't visited yet.
Mink Tribe, Longarm Tribe, Longleg Tribe, Mermaid, Fish-man, and Giant Race ladies... he hadn't even experienced them yet. He heard that the anatomy of Fish-man and Mermaid females was different, and he didn't know if it was true. And there were also the Beast-Ear Girl of the Mink Tribe...
His title as the God of Gamblers had not yet resounded throughout this world. He was really unwilling.
After waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come.
"Could I already be dead? He killed me unknowingly. Nicholas's Strength is truly terrifying."
Just as Tony was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt someone's hand touching his body, and something soft was constantly rubbing against his Arm, and anxious voices came from beside him.
"Lord Tony, are you alright? That guy just now was so scary."
"Oh my, didn't you see Lord Tony was injured?"
"Quickly get Disinfectant and Bandage, and then find a Doctor to come over."
"Why don't you go?"
"I want to stay with Lord Tony."
When Tony opened his eyes, he realized that Nicholas's figure had already disappeared. Only the group of beauties from before remained in the Room.
Hoo~
Tony, relieved that he had escaped a disaster, leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, Tony decided to hell with the New World. He, Tony, would stay in Shambles.
At worst, he would spend a lot of Money to find a Broker to handle those Race beauties that are only found in the New World.
One day later.
A Warship arrived at the Port of Shambles.
As soon as the Warship docked, a gust of wind swept across the Port, and then a figure appeared on the Port in front of the Warship.
Seeing the figure that suddenly appeared, the Navy stationed at Shambles immediately stepped forward and saluted.
That figure was none other than Vice Admiral Dorag of the Headquarters.
"Vice Admiral Dorag."
"Have you confirmed the identities of those people?"
Dorag first glanced around at some guys wandering in the Port District who didn't look like good people at first glance. He even saw some Ships loaded with Slaves parked not far away. A group of Slaves chained with iron chains were being driven onto vehicles and sent to different places.
Dorag turned his gaze to the Marine in front of him, frowning slightly.
Obviously, the Complex situation of Shambles made him somewhat dissatisfied.
"Confirmed. It is indeed four of the five Supernova of this year, and the Wanted Poster for these four people has been revoked."
The Marine replied. As for Dorag's previous dissatisfaction with Shambles, he didn't really care. When he first came to Shambles, he was more hot-blooded than Dorag, but as time went by and he saw more, he understood his own powerlessness.
All he could do was to ensure the safety of Ordinary People who came to Shambles in the prosperous areas as much as possible.
"Then you will be responsible for the Supplies issue. We will set sail in half a day."
After speaking, Dorag's figure disappeared directly.
Watching Dorag disappear, the Marine couldn't help but scratch his head.
Then he called out to the surrounding Navy and began to replenish the Warship.
"Sir, the Devil's Triangle is ahead. We can't go any further."
On a Ship, the Captain said to Nicholas, who was standing on the Deck.
The Devil's Triangle is a Sea Area within the Grand Line that is shrouded in Fog all year round.
Here, more than a hundred Ships disappear here every year.
It can be said that if there were no Log Pose, no one would be willing to approach the Devil's Triangle Sea Area at all.
Even if there is, no one is willing to enter, because sailing in a Sea Area wrapped in Fog, it can be said that any small Threat will be infinitely magnified.
Most of the Ships that disappeared in the Devil Sea Area were either accidentally intruded, or were swept in by suddenly expanding Fog while sailing nearby, thus losing direction and being trapped to death in the Devil's Triangle.
For Ships swallowed by the Fog of the Devil's Triangle, the best way to deal with it is to anchor in place. If Luck is good, when the Fog fades again, they can leave.
If Luck is bad, the Fog may not recede for a month or two, and eventually they can only exhaust all Supplies and eventually be swallowed by the Devil's Triangle.
Moreover, the danger of the Devil's Triangle at this time is only the Fog and the Complex Sea Area situation. Decades later, in this extremely dangerous Sea Area, there will be an even more dangerous Island Ship.
That Island Ship is Gekko Moria's Pirate Ship - Thriller Bark, known as the largest Ship in the world.
That thing is more like an Island than a Ship.
And it is also with the existence of Gekko Moria that the danger of the Devil's Triangle has skyrocketed. In the past, Ships might have been able to leave, but after Moria occupied this place, any Ship entering this place would be captured by Thriller Bark, and the Crew member would also be made into Zombie after Moria took their Shadow.
Nicholas stood on the Deck, looking ahead.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the gloomy Fog, seeing inside the already dilapidated Ships that had been drifting in this Devil Sea Area for who knows how many years.
"Let's go in."
Nicholas said lightly.
"Huh?"
The Captain was completely dumbfounded, seemingly unable to believe Nicholas's words.
"Sir, although you hired us at a high price, the Devil's Triangle is ahead. Going in is certain death, and there are terrifying Ghost Ship inside!"
The Captain showed particular resistance. After all, Nicholas hired them only to go to the East Blue, but did not say anything about entering the Devil's Triangle.
For entering such a dangerous area as the Devil's Triangle, they would rather bump into Pirates.
"Double the Commission."
Hearing Nicholas's words, the Captain's face began to be uncertain, and his attitude began to waver.
"Triple the Commission."
"Alrighty, lads, hoist the sails and weigh anchor! Target the Devil's Triangle ahead!"
Following the Captain's words, the Ship began to sail towards the interior of the Devil's Triangle shrouded in Fog.
It can be said that no Crew member raised any objection. After all, at sea, the Captain's most fundamental requirement is to have sole authority on the Ship!
"Yo-ho."
"Yo-ho."
"What's that sound!"
"It's not a ghost, is it!"
Not long after sailing into the Devil's Triangle, as a burst of music came from the Fog, many people on the Ship suddenly began to panic. After all, music suddenly appearing in this ghostly place, and with the Legend of the Ghost Ship, it was easy to make people think of it.
