* *: Narrator/Voice-off

Your POV:

"Please Luffy, could you stop asking any weirdo you encounter to join the crew ? We already have a reindeer and robot... Among other things..."

Franky: hey, I'm not a robot, I'm a cyborg, you dork ! I'm based on a human !

"Nothing about you could ever be considered human or even normal."

Franky: Eh... Well, if you understand that much...

"Don't mention it."

Sanji: What the hell is that conversation ?!

Luffy: What's gonna come out next~. How fun~.

Robin: Like the "tree man" and that "unicorn" that we just saw...

Zoro: What is it ?

Robin: The common denominator for the odd creatures in this forest, are bandages, scars from stitches, and number engraved on their bodies.

"... So you think someone is monitoring them ? Or at least they've been 'Created' by someone..."

Robin: That's what it means.

Luffy: Hm ? I can hear something.

Ghost: Negatiiiiive... Negatiiiiive...

Luffy: There !! It's a ghost !!

"... That looks just like the ghost on the ship... I'd advise not to touch it."

Ghosts: Negatiiiiive.. Negatiiive...

Luffy: They're multiplying while dancing ?! How funny !

Sanji: What a disturbing call...

Luffy: I'LL CATCH AND RAISE THEM !! DAAH !!

Franky: Can't catch them... So they're totally spirits, all right..

Franky: No good, it didn't work...

Ghost: Horororororororo...

Franky: ... It's useless. I'm totally not super this week... Everything I do is no good. I have no confidence to live... I should die. Ugh...

Sanji: How depressed are you getting ?!!

"That really sounds familiar..."

Luffy: You bastard ! Get back here !!

*Vioooo*

Luffy: If I'm going to be reborn... I want to be a shell.

Franky: I'm the worst... I should die...

Sanji: Like I said, WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TOGETHER ?!!

Ghost: Negatiiiive... Negatiiiive...

"Negative..."

Robin: Maybe when you touch these ghosts, your will becomes weak...

"That sounds about right."

Sanji: That's silly.

Zoro: ... Hmph, they're pathetic. It's because they don't usually prepare their spirits, that they get their minds played with by some weird ghosts !!

"... 3, 2, 1..."

*Vioooo*

Zoro: I'm sorry I was born...

Sanji: THAT'S ENOUGH !!

"So on top of not having bodies, you lose all your willpower just by touching them. As enemies, they'll be a real pain in the ass to deal with."

Robin: That's true. What an odd island..."

Ghost: Horororororororo.

Luffy: IF THOSE GHOSTS COME AGAIN, I WON'T FORGIVE THEM !! I'M NOT GONNA RAISE THEM, EITHER !! I DON'T NEED THEM !!

Franky: THEY MUST HAVE A WEAKNESS !! I'LL ERADICATE THEM !!

Sanji: Wahaha ! I saw something amusing !

Zoro: SHUT UP !!

"So we've got the 'Broken swordsman' and 'Hogeeeh'..."

Sanji: SHUT UP !!

Robin: The put-together creatures with numbers seem to be in a category of their own, but... those ghosts are a different kind of creature.

"So back on the ship, they were on the lookout for us, were they not ? The real question here is rather 'Who's behind this' ?"

Luffy: Hey, it's a huge graveyard ! It really sets the mood. Let's eat our lunch here !!

Sanji: idiot. It'll make the food taste bad. On top of that, we're in a hurry.

"... A barbecue would be nice though..."

???: Aaaah... Aaaaa... !!

Zombie: I'M NOT GOING BACK JUST LIKE THAT, YOU FOOL !!

Luffy: ... An old person with major injuries ?!

All: It's a zombie any way you look at it !!

Zombies: HOW DARE YOU LOOK DOWN ON ZOMBIES !! DON'T UNDERESTIMATE US !! UOACHAH !! URUA !! HOACHOH !!

Sanji: I didn't know that zombies are this lively.

Zombies: SHOW THEM HOW DANGEROUS ZOMBIES ARE !! WUOOOOH !!

Luffy: I see, so they want to fight.

"I guess we can show them how dangerous we are... They just got the..."

All: 850 MILLION BERRY JACKPOT !!

Luffy: So what are you guys doing here ?

Zombies: Umm ? ... we're zombies, so... We were buried, or more like, we were rotting... I was rotting.

Zombie: me, too.

"You joking around ?"

Zombies: We're sorry !! For real !

Luffy: A guy with a long nose, a girl with orange hair, and a raccoon-dog that looks like a reindeer. Did they pass through here ?

Zombies: Ahh ! Aaaah, yes, yes, yes... But we can't say !! We're not supposed to say anything to anyone about information such as that.

"... Are you sure you won't talk ?"

*THWACK*

Zombies: ... Three of them passed.

Luffy: They're friends of ours. You didn't mess with them, did you ?

Zombies: Eh... ?! N- No, I didn't ! I didn't, either... I didn't.

"I smell lies."

Zombie: ... This guy did.

Guilty: EH ?! Hey, don't sell our your friends !! And, you bit them too !! We all attacked them !

Zombie: Fool !! Don't say that !

"So apparently they're safe... For now. That's good to hear."

Luffy: They didn't know about Brook...

Sanji: It's okay if he isn't around.

???: Hey !! ... H- Hey, you guys... ! Wait a moment ! I... was watching. You're horrendously strong. Will you let me talk a little ?!

Luffy: An old guy with major injuries ?!

All: LIKE WE SAID, IT'S A ZOMBIE !!

Ogwmi: I'm actually an old guy with major injuries.

"THAT'S JUST CONFUSING !!"

Sanji: You can just be a zombie !

Ogwmi: There's a guy I want you guys to beat... !! You guys will be able to do it ! There were a whole bunch of victims, but... if you beat him, they'll all be saved. Once my "Shadow" returns, I'll thank you as much as you want.

Luffy: That's true, you don't have a shadow either. Just like brook... !

"But whose work is this anyway ? Who's on this island ?

Ogwmi: A man called Moria.

Robin: Moria ? Do you mean... You don't mean Gecko Moria... ?!

Ogwmi: Yeah... that's right... That Moria !!

Luffy: You know of him ?

Robin: ... I know his name well. Even his original bounty surpasses yours, Luffy.. ! Gecko Moria... is one of the Shichibukai !

Luffy: Shichibukai... ?! Gecko Moria ?! For real ?!

Robin: He's a mysterious man...

Zoro: ... Speaking of mysterious, wasn't Y/n right behind a few seconds ago ? Where'd he go ?

Franky: I think I saw him fly to the mansion right after hearing the man's name. You know, with the kind of grin saying "It's ass-whooping time".

Sanji: ... he's a Revolutionist, after all... It'd make sense that he'd go after Shichibukai, since they're at the world government's orders... Maybe some epic battle is unfolding right as we're speakin-

"Hey, I'm right here."

Sanji: JESUS !!

"No, that's just me."

Franky: Thought you were gone to wreak some havoc...

"That was the plan. But then there was that giant monkey spider, and I just decided to go back."

Zoro: Giant...

"I have a bad history with giant spiders. But anyways, what's a man like Moria doing here ?"

Ogwmi: I don't really know, but there are many victims that wander around this forest just like me...

Franky: There are more... ?!

Ogwmi: Since you were led here already... You should assume that Moria has his eye on you. Some stay behind in this land and crawl around this dark forest while fearing for zombies... others sail out to the sea, but live in fear of the sun... !! Either way, we don't feel truly alive with this kind of body... For once before I die... I'd like to walk under the sun again... !!

Franky: T- That's how it is... ?! That's tough... !! All right !! I'll be your help, don't worry !! No, idiot, I ain't crying !

Zoro: You evoked too much feeling from him ! Don't feel responsible for it.

Sanji: He's right. Hey geezer ! Only beautiful ladies can make tearful entreaties !! You don't make my heart skip !!

"Meh. From the moment I heard 'Gecko Moria', kicking his ass all the way back to Marine HQ became my number 3 priority."

Luffy: Well, but then, we are looking for the guy who steals shadows. If he's after us, we'll just kick his ass and you will be saved, too !

Ogwmi: Wh- What kind words... !! Now I have hope, even if you're doing it for your own reason !!

???: I'm counting on you ! Good luck ! Just kick Moria's ass ! Sorry that we can't make your heart skip !

Sanji: The rest of you victims were listening, too ?!

Zoro: it's starting to rain pretty heavily.

Franky: Should we run for the mansion ?

"They're waiting for us anyways..."

Luffy: Wait a sec ! I see a mark, behind the mansion ! I can see something huge !

Zoro: the fog is a little thin... What is it, a flag ?

"No... That's a sail ! A huge sail !"

Ogwmi: That's right !

Sanji: You're still following us ?!

Ogwmi: It's so large that you can't see the big picture. This Thriller Bark... is a whole town being carried by the world's largest pirate ship !! Under the main mast which you can see behind the mansion... is where Gecko Moria resides.

"Well... I think we know everything we need to. Shall we ?"

Luffy: All right, let's go !! To the haunted house !! Please excuse us, we need to interrupt !!

All: Hurry up !!

Luffy: Hmm ? The lock on the door... It... It's open ! It's open !

"We can see that... It's not even open anymore, it's just gone..."

Luffy: hey, isn't there anyone here ?! Gecko Moria !!

Zoro: In such a big mansion... There isn't a single servant ?

Sanji: What's this, it looks like a room after a fray. I hope they didn't hurt Nami-San... !!

Pig: Buhihihihi !! You know the name of the master. You are quite courageous to enter this place !

Luffy: Huh ?! There's a pig growing on the wall.

Zombies: LET US WELCOME THE GUESTS !!! KEKYAKYAKYAKYA !!

"Makes sense that the mansion would be filled with zombies as well. There really are all kinds of creature on this island."

Sanji: Where did you... HIDE NAMI-SAN ?!

Zombie: BEGUAAAAA !!

Robin: It's unladylike to open your mouth so wide, even if you are quite pretty.

Portrait: Huh ? Really ?

Robin: But you already spoiled it by coming out of the picture frame.

Zombie: Huuuuuh ?! The spear was broken !! What's with his body ?! Is it steel ?! Stop, stop, stop ! Stop it ! What's with you guys ?! Are you those weaklings' friends... ?!

Franky: Yes.

*BONK*

Zoro: Nitouryuu... Nigiri.

Zombie: Jelly-filled Donu- Onigiri ? Sounds tasty.

Zoro: ...Hirameki !!

Zombie: DAD DAZDET VAAAAD !! (That tasted baaaad)

Luffy: Shishishishi !! This island is really interesting !!

"In a way, it is... If you don't mind, this bear rug is troubling."

Rug: You... !! Brats !!

"Gaster... HOME RUN !!"

Rug; BEOO !!

Pig: Ru... Rug bear. Ah !

Franky: All right, we took care of them.

Pig: Ah... Ah !! That trio ! They're fast asleep in the bedroom. That's good ! They're safe !!

"I don't believe a single word of what you're saying."

Pig: It's the truth, buhi ! You can go and check !! Just go up those stairs inside... !! Buhi, buhi...

Franky: Hm ? Hey, wait a minute... That curly brow cook is gone.

"Huh ? He was with us until a little while ago... Where did he go ?"

Zombies: 'Fufufufu... !! Hey, don't laugh !! They can hear you.'

Zoro: ... they've been planning something for a long while. We've lost a dear man.

"Okay, first, don't act as if he's dead. Second, you don't even seem to care... Forgot who I was talking to for a sec."

Luffy: Well, he's right. Sanji will be okay !

Robin: My concern is, in this zombie mansion, it might be that we're racing against time with the rescue of those three.

Pig: Buhi buhi... You guys, don't get so cocky just because you're a little strong...

"Our priority now is both to save these three, and now also to locate Sanji. Even torture won't work on zombies, so it's pointless to ask them..."

Pig: Hey, you guys !

Zoro: We could still take that pig as a guide.

Pig: HUUUH ?!

Zombies: He... hehe... Go, go... !! it's good for you to learn the dreadfulness of our master. Our... real boss is the Shichibukai Gecko Mori... Oh !! I can't say it !! My body's freezing up !! Hoooo, just putting that word in my mouth, it feels like my body is freezing... !! It won't end safely... For your missing friends. One after another, you'll lose them... You shall regret it... !! the fear that can't save anyone in front of Shichibukai Gecko... No, Master's real power... !!

"You guys are really noisy. But if you really want to talk that much, you can go tell that necky fatass that if anything happens to any of them, he's the one that'll never see the light of day ever again."

Zombies: WHA... !!

Luffy: even if we leave Sanji for the time being, he won't die. Let's go.

*Greetings, master. Some dreadful people just entered the mansion. From: The Surprise Zombies (We got surprised)*
