Chapter 98: Land of the Dead

Kin'emon stood up, behind Sanji (Nami). "Could I borrow it, too?"

(Y/N) hovered behind Brook's shoulder. "When we get back to the Sunny, you're going to give me that book, or I will burn you to ashes along with it." The three perverts screamed in terror from the burning death aura surrounding (Y/N).

"Would you shut up? Just look." Zoro spoke, taking his group's attention. (Y/N) hovered back towards Zoro, following his gaze to lake before them as he continued. "If that thing touches you, it's gonna do a lot worse than just melt your clothes. The fish are dying from the little pieces of itself that dropped in the lake. The thing's made of poison. It only takes a drop to kill and it looks like it's spreading."

"It's poison?" Sanji (Nami) questioned as he walked up, closer to the lake.

"Wait, but the samurai's torso is in that lake." Brook spoke up in slight desperation.

(Y/N) looked over at Sanji (Nami) beginning to take of Nami's gloves. When the left glove hit the ground, it popped into a rock. (Y/N) landed her feet back on the ground, tilting her head in confusion. 'Is that the samurai's devil fruit? He can turn rocks into clothes?' She turned around when she heard something moving behind her. "Looks like there's more of them." (Y/N) softly spoke at the sight of multiple globs of slime.

Brook gasped. "Surely not! You're diving in? Sanji!" (Y/N) tilted her head back at Sanji (Nami) behind her.

"I brought him with us, so I can't let him die here." Sanji boldly spoke, throwing Nami's coat behind. "I may be a woman right now, but it's time to man up!"

"I'm proud of you." Brook cheered his chef on with admiration.

"Handle the ones behind you. I won't be too long." Sanji (Nami) replied to Brook.

"Huh? Behind me?" Brook innocently questioned before turning around. He yelped in absolute shocked fear when he saw the slime globs with yellow glowing eyes. "A veritable bevy of mini slimes! When did they get here?"

"Nami. I'm sorry. But still, I'm the strongest swimmer on the crew. I swear, I'll be done before anything happens to your gorgeous body!" Sanji shouted with determination.

(Y/N) turned with tears in her eyes as she yelled out. "Please be careful! It's my head, too, if anything happens with her body!" Sanji (Nami) nodded back just before he dove into the lake.

"Careful! Good luck down there!" Brook shouted out.

(Y/N) turned back around, slouching over a bit. "I really hope he doesn't get Nami sick or something. I'm too young to die..."

"We have more pressing matters, right now. If you're really concerned about death, then quit sulking and look up." Zoro sternly spoke. (Y/N) side-eyed him, pouting as she stood upright.

"They, ah, seem to be coming right for us." Brook spoke up as the slimes crawled closer.

"Yeah, what are we gonna do about it?" Zoro questioned back.

"Excellent question." Brook calmly replied.

"So, uh, did that perverted book explain how to kill the slime?" (Y/N) questioned up to Brook.

"Not necessarily." Brook awkwardly looked away from (Y/N). "I'm not sure if you want to know the ending."

(Y/N) wore a bored expression. "I think I caught the gist. Let's just say, be glad you're already bones." Brook gulped from her words. (Y/N) glared back at the giant slime, raining smaller globs of itself on the other side of the lake. She looked back at the slime balls in front of her, now forming together and growing larger. 'Hm... is that what it's trying to do? Simply cross the lake. I have a strange feeling Gas Guy has something to do with all do this.'
