Five days later.

In the first half of the Grand Line, the Thriller Bark region.

In this dense demonic fog, a gigantic battleship silently descended, steadily landing on the water surface.

In front was a massive "ship," or rather, a complete island.

"I'll go up myself!"

A blood-red figure instantly teleported to the center of the island.

"Swish—" A faint gaze suddenly swept across. An incomparable Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire terrifying island!

On the entire island, countless somewhat startling zombies, or those whose shadows were extracted by Gecko Moria, and figures hiding in corners of the forest, all instantly lost consciousness, falling down with thuds.

"Looks like Gecko Moria hasn't returned yet..."

Looking towards the somewhat gloomy, but silent, ancient castle, Iji's gaze was calm.

From the moment he first landed on the island, his Observation Haki had basically locked onto the "voices" with relatively strong presences on the island. His black-covered wings suddenly flapped, and his whole body floated in place like a demon.

"Thriller Bark, huff huff... It's truly astonishingly huge..."

He himself floated directly in the air, like a lion-demon, surveying the "fangs" in front of him, or perhaps it was the entrance to Thriller Bark as some said.

"Compared to your abilities with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, this is nothing!" Law shrugged slightly.

He had to admit, after witnessing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's exaggerated ability to instantly levitate several islands into the sky, his psychological endurance had been trained. He would no longer be easily startled.

If it were before, looking at such a huge island ship, he would have been unable to stop himself from being shocked.

"Thriller Bark, will there be ghosts, boss?" Bepo's voice trembled slightly. Even though he had been with Jerma for so long, looking at the gloomy giant island ship still made his heart tremble a little.

"You don't need to go up there, what are you afraid of?"

Isabelle, beside him, gave him a speechless glance.

"Sorry!"

A certain pathetic little bear said with a weak voice.

Everyone was already too powerless to complain, directly ignoring the psychologically fragile Bepo.

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~"

From time to time, a snorting sound came.

They saw Edward Weevil's bloated body lying directly on the floor not far away, sleeping soundly without a care in the world. There was even some drool at the corner of his mouth.

This left several people present speechless, but no one went to disturb this guy. After all, Iji didn't need him for now.

This guy was "pure" in his purity, but he wasn't a good-tempered fellow. His entire being was filled with violent tendencies.

Even with Miss Bakkin's repeated strict orders, on the entire battleship, he was only somewhat wary of Iji. Usually, he acted as he pleased. Two days ago, he clashed with the naturally arrogant Shiki the Golden Lion and almost directly sent him flying in a fit of rage.

Not long after, the blood-red figure flew back from Thriller Bark, carrying two other figures.

"Your Highness..."

"Hmph! Hmph!"

The two figures were directly tossed onto the floor by him.

One was a middle-aged man in a swallowtail coat, and the other was a young girl in a dress.

"Ze ha ha ha, Your Highness, that sword at your waist, it wouldn't be Ryuma, the legendary swordsman of Wano Country's famous blade, 'Shusui', would it?" Iji's waist, at some unknown point, had an extra sword. Just by its appearance, it revealed itself to be an extraordinary famous blade, immediately attracting Shiki the Golden Lion's gaze.

The man was dressed very tastefully, but his face looked exactly like it had been directly sliced off a lion and grafted on, making people's scalps tingle.

The girl had a cute face, wore a crown, and had pink-and-white twin pigtails. She was exactly the physique of a medical girl.

"If you want to see it, then take it and look your fill. I picked it up casually inside. That Gecko Moria guy has the audacity to directly steal Swordsman Ryuma's grave..."

He glanced at Edward Weevil, who was still lying not far away, snoring loudly. He casually tossed the black blade Shusui to Shiki the Golden Lion. Iji said playfully, "If news reaches Wano Country, he'll probably be peeled half-naked. That reclusive, xenophobic country, even the Marines don't want to easily provoke them. Swordsman Ryuma's status in Wano Country is quite high. Even his famous blade 'Shusui' during his lifetime is treated like a national treasure in Wano Country."

Currently, the strong swordsmen in Germa all have famous blades.

But after all, it was one of the 21 Great Grade Swords. It was acceptable to collect it and later give it to a capable subordinate.

"Your Highness, she is..."

Looking at the still-unconscious Perona, Isabelle looked towards Iji, a smile in her emerald eyes.

"She is a user of the Hollow-Hollow Fruit..."

Iji casually explained, then directly instructed: "Arrange a room for this girl, but first, put a Seastone bracelet on her. If she accidentally unleashes her strange abilities, it could directly cause an overseas incident..."

"Hollow-Hollow Fruit?"

Carrot and Law, among others, were all slightly surprised.

"There really is such a thing as a hollow spirit?" Bepo's voice trembled slightly.

"It's just a type of Devil Fruit ability. There are many incredible Devil Fruit abilities in this world, but unfortunately, I haven't encountered that guy. Otherwise, you might have seen something more interesting..."

If Bepo, Carrot, and others were to see "Soul King" Brook, that guy who was just bones because he ate the Revive-Revive Fruit, they would probably be scared half to death.

However, unfortunately, after entering the Thriller Bark waters, they did not find that guy Brook.

What made Iji somewhat curious was whether Law's ability was useful against that guy, after all, that guy's Revive-Revive Fruit ability directly affected the soul, and Law's "Spatial Manipulation" couldn't directly transfer Devil Fruit abilities.

He kicked him, but he still didn't wake up. Absalom, with a terrifying face indistinguishable from a beast's, said with a cold laugh: "But relatively speaking, this guy is the one most men are jealous of. He modified himself to be neither human nor ghost, yet he possesses the ability of the Clear-Clear Fruit!"

"Clear-Clear Fruit? This guy really is..."

While surprised, looking at that beast-like face, Law couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Take him down and lock him up..."

They directly took Absalom to the underground prison and locked him up.

Iji did not immediately let Shiki the Golden Lion use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's ability to leave this demon-infested sea area covered in dense fog. Instead, he directly "swam" in this misty sea area.

This left everyone somewhat puzzled. Hadn't the goal already been achieved? But Iji didn't intend to explain much.

The Revive-Revive Fruit, which could revive a person once after death, its value, in his opinion, if it could be used by a truly strong person, could be said to be immeasurable.

Even if he couldn't directly extract the abilities of Devil Fruit users at present, it didn't stop him from first locking this guy up.

He would wait until he transferred him from the Soul-Soul realm and directly locked him up in the Sky Island's Marelle, where he would obtain the method to seize Devil Fruit users' abilities, or further develop the Dark-Dark Fruit to the extent of being able to directly seize abilities, saving him the time of having to continue searching for this guy.
