Captain Ghost of Pirate

Chapter 9 Contract
Ethan didn't know what was going on now, and the constant explosions and smoke and lights around him reminded him that the fire was still burning.

But for Ethan, he has no extra energy to care about this, and now he only has that scroll in his eyes!Ethan knew in his heart now that if he got it, everything would be easy to talk about, but if he didn't get it, he didn't have the confidence to escape from the fire.

Followed the induction Ethan to find it all the way, but found Ace and Sabo who were surrounded by several pirates with grinning smiles.

And Bruggem looked at them cruelly: "Now it seems that I am too kind to you!" He drew out his pistol, let the others hold Sabo down, and walked towards Ace Go, "Don't think that I care about those treasures." He showed his yellowed teeth, put the muzzle of a gun against Ace's head, and smiled cruelly: "I will soon become a nobleman, that little treasure is not worth mentioning !"

On the other side, the bearded man grabbed Sabo's shoulder and pushed him to the ground. Sabo's hat fell off and he rolled far away.At this moment, Ethan saw the golden corner of the bearded buttocks protruding from the back pocket, and couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart anymore, and rushed out!While no one noticed him, he snatched the scroll into his hands!

But the imaginary system prompts, item descriptions, etc., were all gone the moment the scroll was picked up.The scroll was quietly held in his hand like an ordinary object, and even the original light disappeared.

"Smelly brat! It's you!" The pirate, who felt the thing behind his butt being pulled away, looked back, recognized Ethan, and slashed at him angrily!

Ethan repeated his old trick and rolled to the side with his head in his arms, dodging the knife.I just wanted to put oil on the soles of my feet, so I found a place to sign it first.But there was only a "bang" gunshot, and blood splattered all over the place in an instant!

Ethan only felt that his back was suddenly pushed by someone. He tried to stand up, but found that all the strength in his body was draining rapidly, followed by a sharp pain, a burning pain in his back.

"I...was I shot?" Ethan only had this thought in his mind, and then he felt his neck being pinched.It turned out to be the bearded man in the spotted shirt. He pinched Ethan's neck with one hand and lifted him up. Bruggem looked at him from a distance, and his gun was still emitting smoke.

"You brat, how dare you steal from me?" The bearded man grinned grimly. He pulled the scroll back from Ethan's hand, and the original golden color on it had been stained red by Ethan's blood. Bad luck, what should I do if this thing gets dirty and can’t be sold at a good price?”

Ethan could feel that the vitality in his thin body, which was not considered exuberant, was also rapidly draining at this moment. He felt that everything in front of him had become blurred, and his limbs were beginning to turn cold.

Is this...is this what it feels like to be shot?I... can I save it again?He watched the scroll in his hand being snatched away, and clenched his fists weakly.

It's almost... Is this the end?

"Ethan!" Sabo struggled, and only then did he see clearly who the bearded man was holding, and he also saw the blood gurgling from the wound on Ethan's back.

The bearded man cursed, and threw Ethan's body into the trash when he threw it casually. At this moment, Bruggem also asked quietly, "Why, are you hiding a treasure that I don't know about?"

The bearded man froze, turned around and put on a flattering expression: "How is that possible, Captain! I picked this up on the way I just came, and I haven't had time to dedicate it to you!" His heart was dripping Blood, still handed the scroll to Blugem.

At this time, everyone discovered that the scroll that was originally stained with blood suddenly released a golden light, and the blood disappeared bit by bit, as if it had been absorbed by the scroll.

Blugem was amazed, but just as he took the scroll, the scroll suddenly burst into flames!
"What the hell!" Bruggem threw the burning scroll aside with a flick of his hand, "You fucking..." He was about to reprimand the bearded man, but he was attracted by the sudden flames on the garbage pile behind him , "You guys, did anyone light the fire over there?"

Ethan only felt that he had sunk into a darkness, falling slowly.Just when his consciousness was about to fall into an eternal deep sleep, a group of flames suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then suddenly spread out!The flames seemed to be conscious, tumbling and changing at will, and finally formed a hollow skull shape.

"From your side, I smell the scent of sin." The skeleton's mouth opened and closed, and a hoarse and playful voice came out, "This smell is really nostalgic..."

Ethan was scorched by the flames, and his cold body began to heat up rapidly at this moment, and even small pieces of skin were carbonized, chapped, and even peeled off.But all this didn't make him feel pain, instead his consciousness gradually came to him.Hearing the voice of the skeleton, Ethan said weakly: "Is this the world after death? Are you the god of death in this world? It's so hot..."

The skeleton didn't expect Ethan to say such a thing, he was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he was thinking about how to continue what he was going to say just now...

"Cough... since you have signed a contract with me, you should take over my will. I, 'Lee Newx', the vengeful spirit detested by God, now declare that you will gain my power and do not need Acting as a priest!"

"Contract?" Ethan understood, "But I haven't signed it yet, I haven't even seen the content of the contract..."

"Your blood has dripped on the contract. According to the rules, the contract has come into effect." Li Niux explained, "This is also the reason why you didn't die after being shot through the heart. Hellfire prevented your death."

Hearing this, Ethan remembered that he had been shot, and his life was at stake. He couldn't help but feel like he was alive after a catastrophe. After hearing what Linux said, he asked belatedly: " Wait a minute, let me ask a question first... You said you are the Spirit of Vengeance, and I want to take over your will? What do I need to do after signing the contract?"

Li Niux smiled: "The Spirit of Vengeance is an angel created by God to judge the world. The will to succeed the Spirit of Vengeance is naturally to carry out God's will and punish the sins of the world. But you are different. It is I who signed the contract with you. , I have been rejected by God for thousands of years, God's will... I don't care at all."

The flames suddenly became agitated, and the skull made of flames suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a cluster of flames shining with blue light burst out from it, and plunged into Ethan's chest.

All this happened in an instant. Ethan touched his chest subconsciously, but did not feel any temperature or change.But he recalled Linux's words in his mind, and felt that these settings were somewhat familiar, and there was no such thing as "God" in the world of One Piece...

Ok?
Ghost Rider?Isn't the Spirit of Vengeance the source of Ghost Rider's power?Ethan thought about it suddenly, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt it fit. Hellfire, skull, these are the symbols of Ghost Rider.

Thinking of this, Ethan asked: "So, after signing the contract with you, I will also become a Ghost Rider?"

This time, Li Niux put on a surprised tone: "I never thought that in this world, there would still be people who would know about 'Ghost Rider'." He paused and explained: "But it's not right, Ghost Rider A human possessed by a spirit of vengeance, and you..."

But as soon as Linux's words fell, the flame skull suddenly opened its mouth again and swallowed Ethan in!

Here, Bruggem and the pirates looked in surprise at the raging flames suddenly burning in the garbage dump, and the figure who stood up slowly, his whole body was also burning.

Is it that kid from just now?

"That, that... what kind of monster is that!" the pirates shouted in panic.

"Now...I want to use your body." Ethan murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself, "Finally, I can act according to my own will before disappearing!"

At this time, Ethan's body has been controlled by Linux's consciousness!

Ethan's first reaction after discovering this situation was to struggle, but he found that there was nothing he could do. He felt that he had returned to the state where he couldn't feel anything before he woke up from this body.

"Don't resist me, I'm about to dissipate, just use your body to do what you want to do according to your own will, this request is actually written in the contract." At this time, Li Niux When the voice came, he comforted: "Don't worry, after today, my consciousness will completely dissipate, and my fire will completely become your own."

Ethan hesitated for a moment, but still believed what he said.In fact, even if he didn't believe it, there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, in the eyes of others, Ethan's whole body was covered with burning and churning flames, but the flames had no effect on his clothes, but began to burn his skin.Soon, he stretched out his hands with only bone claws left, and the flames gathered in his palms tamely.

boom!
Blugem's face was full of fear, he raised his hand and shot Ethan again.This time he aimed at Ethan's head.But Ethan didn't dodge it, opened his mouth suddenly, and spewed out a mouthful of blazing flames!

Before the bullet touched Ethan, it was turned into fly ash.

With this fire, the flesh and blood on Ethan's entire head had been burned away, leaving only a hollow skull, grinning sinisterly and silently, the skull was swaying around in flames, looking very strange.

"Hmph." Li Niux laughed sinisterly, and his voice changed from Ethan's original voice to a playful and hoarse voice.

The pirates panicked. Although they had seen the rubber man Luffy before, the burning skeleton must be more terrifying than the rubber body.They retreated in the direction of Bruggem, and Ace and Sabo also took the opportunity to escape from the restraint and ran towards Linux.

"Ethan?" Sabo looked at Li Niux in surprise, "You...have you eaten a devil fruit before?" He laughed and wanted to punch Ethan, but seeing the flames on his body and this thin skeleton , After thinking about it, he retracted his hand.

Ace looked at the flames on Ethan's body and sighed: "Compared to him... I feel that Luffy is so weak..."

Although Ethan couldn't control his body, he could see everything that Linux could see. He glanced at Ace, who was a little envious, and chuckled in his heart. It seemed that Ace liked this kind of burning body very much. It feels like... But seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, now is definitely not the time for chatting, so he subconsciously asked Li Niux to drive the two of them away first.

"...you say it yourself."

Then Ethan suddenly found himself regaining some control over his body, and he was able to speak.

"Sabo, Ace, you two get out of here first! Before the fire is completely burned, run to the central forest." Ethan looked around the fire and said to Sabo and Ace.

"No! What do you do when we leave?" Sabo flatly refused.

"Yes, you are Sabo's friend, we don't have the habit of abandoning friends." Ace also smiled, but his face also showed determination.

Rolling up their arms and sleeves, the two of them stood next to Ethan eagerly, staring at the group of Bruggem, ready to give it a go.

Ethan felt a little overwhelmed, these two brothers are really interesting... But the timing is a bit wrong.

"Don't be stupid, you two!" Ethan said with a serious attitude, "I'm playing with fire, the flames can't hurt me at all, and I can handle this group of trash fish in front of me alone, but You are different, if you stay here, I really can't protect you from the fire!"

"Although that is what we say, but we really don't avoid fire... At most, it can only be said that you will not die for a while before the hellfire goes out." Linux added in his heart, and Ethan couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching. Get up, but it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't even have a skin now.

Sabo looked at Ethan, and suddenly remembered that when he was in front of the gate of Gaozhen and the border town was separated, he was always as serious as he is now. Every time he felt that he was trying to be brave, but he could always do what he said. thing.

Thinking of this, Sabo gritted his teeth: "Ace, listen to him."

"But..." Ace wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sabo.

"It's okay, this guy...maybe it's okay." Sabo still patted Ethan's shoulder, but it didn't feel as hot as imagined, but it just felt a little warm.He approached Ethan and told him the location of Dadan's House.Then he dragged Ace out of here.

"You must come to us!" Sabo and Ace shouted before leaving.

All of this was seen by Blue Jem, and his face was gloomy.The angry kid in front of him made him dare not act rashly. Unlike the "rubber boy", this kid really gave him a feeling of fear.But even so, a group of adults on my side were actually frightened by a child?

He gritted his teeth and ordered: "Why are you standing there? Get rid of him quickly!"

"But boss..." the subordinate hesitated.

"Shut up! He's just a kid, so what if he ate a devil fruit! He's just bluffing! Come on! Kill him and we'll become nobles in the city!" Bruggem threatened and lured his opponent, The sense of uneasiness in his heart has been increasing, and out of prudent considerations, he wants his subordinates to explore first.

The pirates didn't have such a keen sense as Bruggem. After hearing what he said, they felt overwhelmed and rushed towards Ethan.The bearded man wanted to restore his image in the boss's heart, so he rushed to the front and slashed at Ethan's head!

This shot is swift and fierce, and this head slash is the proud move of the bearded man, for which he has practiced countless times.But even so, in Linux's eyes, this knife was still as slow as a turtle crawling.He stretched out his bone claws casually, and grabbed the blade that was coming at him!
The scene of the bearded man hitting the ground did not appear. In his opinion, Ethan was just a thin skeleton at this time. He never expected that Linux could catch him with only a bone claw. the blade.

Under the blessing of hellfire, Ethan's body was almost immortal, although it was just a skeleton, it was extremely hard.

The bearded man was horrified to find that the blade was held by Ethan, and the flames on his body also crawled along the blade, and the blazing temperature scared him to let go of his hand.

Li Niux took the knife from the bearded man.This was originally an ordinary samurai sword, but when the flames crawled across the spine, blood-red flame patterns appeared on it. Not only that, the blade part was also extended and deformed into the shape of a skull, the skull The mouth of the head is wide open, and the blade seems to protrude from its mouth.

"Sure enough, just like in the movie, Hellfire will change the appearance and structure of objects, that's the aesthetic..." Ethan complained about Li Niux's taste in his mind.

Seeing that Li Niux didn't delay in his hand, he slashed obliquely from the left shoulder of the bearded man with one knife, killing him with one knife!Blood splattered all over his body, and was evaporated before touching his body.Li Niux laughed ho ho, and greeted the rushing pirates.

Ethan found himself a bit strange. Although he didn't kill the man himself, he still experienced the scene of blood splattered as No.1, and the pungent smell of blood was still lingering on the tip of his nose. .But this did not arouse any psychological fluctuations in him. On the contrary, at this moment, a kind of pleasure of "judgment of evil" inexplicably surged in his heart?

The Spirit of Vengeance was originally a strange life created by God to judge the sins of mankind.And the gang of pirates in front of them can indeed be said to be doing all kinds of evil.

"So I've been... affected?" Ethan pondered.

It didn't take long for Li Niux to chop all the pirates to the ground, but it could be seen that he didn't take it seriously, or he didn't know how to use a knife at all.Because he was completely hacking with a knife, and the samurai sword transformed by Hellfire had far exceeded the toughness and sharpness of the things in the hands of these pirates.This gave the group of pirates a psychological hint, making them think that Linux was just relying on the power of weapons, so they all rushed forward without thinking of running away.

"Huh... the knife is still not suitable for me. I used to use chains."

After a while, Li Niux stuck the knife on the ground casually and said with a smile.He was standing in the center of a group of corpses, blood had already flowed out, soaking the ground around him, at this moment, in the eyes of Bruggem, Linux was as terrifying as a demon god descending into the world.

So Bruggem turned around and ran away without any hesitation.

"He ran away!" Ethan reminded.

"It's okay, he ran just right." Li Niux waved his hand, and asked in the direction where Bruggem was escaping, "Who are those people over there?"

"Over there?" Ethan looked in the direction he was pointing, and suddenly understood, "That's the gate of the border town, Bruggem wants them to open the gate and let him in... this idiot, he doesn't know I am just an abandoned child who is being used."

"Ho ho... the city gate? It seems that the people in the city are also a group of interesting souls..."

When Ethan heard Linux's words, a thrill flashed in his heart: "You... don't you want to..."

"Hey..." Li Niux smiled without saying a word, just about to chase after Bruggem, Ethan suddenly shouted: "Wait...put on the hat, there is something I need you to help me with." I will."

"Hat?" Li Niux looked around and found a round hat that was stained red with blood on the ground, which was exactly the one that Sabo left here just now.He hesitated, but picked it up and put it on his head.At the same time, the flames on his body also climbed up the entire hat, and the flames swayed and flickered on the top of the hat, which always seemed to have an indescribably funny feeling, even though no one would dare to laugh when they saw it.

Unknowingly at this time, the sun has gradually set to the west, and the entire garbage mountain is still as bright as day.

Residents in the rubbish mountain fled to the city gate in panic when they discovered that the fire had just started.However, they found that the gate was closed tightly, and no matter how they shouted, there was no response from inside. Under their resentment, they found that the road to the forest and the coast had also become a sea of ​​flames.As the fire spread, there were fewer and fewer places for them to stay, thick smoke billowed, crying and coughing were everywhere.An emotion called "despair" enveloped everyone.

"Wow... Dad, it's so hot!" A child lying on his father's back cried.

"Sorry son, don't be afraid, Dad will definitely take you out later!" The father's vicissitudes face is full of unwillingness, he is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want his own child to die here too.

At this moment, only a huge explosion sound was heard, and the invisible air wave forcibly tore a crack in the sea of ​​flames.The desperate people were pleasantly surprised to find that a fire-free passage appeared in front of them!
This passage leads directly to the coast, and people can see a big ship with a dragon head docked on the shore from a distance.

"Look! This road leads to the coast!!" The father shouted in surprise, and rushed over with his son on his back.

"There's a boat there!"

"Thank goodness!"

Seeing this scene, everyone who was in despair shouted in surprise, and rushed after the father one after another.

"I didn't expect that even a border country like the East China Sea has your intelligence network. Is there anything you care about here?" On the dragon head boat, a man with a black hood and a cloak looked big. asked the person next to him.

And the person beside him was Monkey D. Long, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, whom Ethan met when he left the city today.

"This country is the epitome of the future of the world... One day I will change the world, but in this world, happiness does not fall from the sky, but is spelled out with your own hands..." He did not answer directly The question raised by that person came to the bow and raised his right hand high, "Those who are willing to fight for this happiness, get on this boat!"

He silently looked under the boat, and the people he aroused the desire to resist suddenly remembered the child he saw today.

Even in this kind of country, there will be such children born... He smiled knowingly, and suddenly felt something, and looked into the sea of ​​fire in astonishment: "Over there... How could such a person appear here?"
