One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Eight [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight-

"What a pain...looks like Robin's theory looked to be spot on" Sanji frowned.

"None of our attacks can harm them, but if they pass through our bodies, we'll be rendered helpless" Robin said. "They might prove troublesome if we have to fight them."

"No kidding" Sanji and I said as we stared at our depressed crewmates.

"What a strange island..." Robin muttered as I softly smiled at the adorable laugh the ghosts gave off before they finally left, leaving us alone once more as our moping crewmates slowly picked themselves back up and we started back on our journey through the forest once more.

"You know what? Screw you, ghost!" Luffy angrily shouted. "I don't want to have you as a pet anymore—I want to crush you!"

"Whatever their weak point is, I'll find it! Just you wait!" Franky growled as he cracked his knuckles.

"I should call you dog food!" Sanji laughed from his spot on Cerberus next to Robin.

"Shut up!" Zoro embarrassingly snapped as I covered my mouth to try and hold back my laughter.

"No, wait, sorry" Sanji suddenly apologized as he shook his head. "You said you're not fit to be dog food" he snickered as Zoro continued to seethe, grumbling as both the blond and Cerberus now laughed at him.

"If you're dog food, does that make Skylar the dog? I'm sure she wouldn't mind taking a bite out of you" Robin chuckled, causing me to choke as all laughter died out in my chest and my cheeks exploded with color.

"Robin!" I cried.

"Nah, it would be the other way around then if that were the case" Zoro grinned as I harshly smacked his arm, my face only getting redder.

"Zoro!"

"The patchwork creatures made with the numbers on them may look frightening, but they seem easy enough to defeat" Robin remarked after a moment's thought. "But the ghost, on the other hand, seemed to be the exact opposite" she said.

"There was one of them on the ship earlier—they showed up then vanished, seems to me like they're watching us" Sanji said. "If that's the case, then who's pulling the strings?" he asked.

It wasn't long before all our walking eventually led us out of the forest and into a graveyard.

"Hey, check it out! It's a giant graveyard—cool!" Luffy grinned as my gaze wandered over the passing tombstones, trying to read the names carved onto them with little luck as many of them seemed faded and on the verge of deteriorating. "Perfect place for a picnic, don't you think?" he asked.

"Great idea, captain" I giggled.

"No way! This atmosphere will ruin the taste!" Sanji snapped.

"What? Are you crazy?" Luffy frowned. "Food is awesome, it never tastes bad anyway!" he argued.

"Yeah, maybe not for you—anyways, let's get moving..." Sanji grumbled, ready to start walking again before stopping the moment we heard a loud groan. I watched with curious eyes as one of the dead bodies suddenly started to claw his way out of his own grave—trying his best to look intimidating as he did so. Luffy was the first one to react as he calmly walked over to the dead body and gently pushed him back into his grave.

"Hey! Don't put me back in the ground, jackass!" the zombie snapped.

"It's an old man with serious injuries!" Luffy gasped.

"Are you nuts?! It's a zombie!" Zoro, Sanji, Franky, and I snapped.

"Don't make fun of me!" the zombie snarled as even more of them started to claw their way out of their graves.
