In the silent night, in the deserted desert, the sudden sound of the Den Den Mushi was harsh. Crocodile took out the snail-like Den Den Mushi from his arms.
Connect …
His voice, which was deliberately lowered, was trembling slightly. It sounded hurried and panicked. There were also strange noises around him, which sounded like a pile of broken bones and muscles being pulled and ground.
There was the sound of uneven breathing, followed by a sentence that came out of nowhere. "… The dead, the dead have come back to life!"
"Mr. 2 Von Kray!"
Although the voice was a little distorted, Crocodile still recognized the identity of the speaker. His pupils shrank sharply. "What did you say?"
The trembling breathing was adjusted, and the voice seemed to be trying to calm down. The sound of swallowing and the sound of muscles and bones grinding became clearer and stranger.
"Coffin, a strange coffin, there is a crushed body lying in it, and then …" The voice paused, breathing, and then there was a "click" sound.
It seemed to be some kind of pushing sound, combined with the incoherent content of the phone, Crocodile involuntarily outlined a strange picture in his mind. The lid of the coffin was pushed open.
After a while …
The intermittent Den Den Mushi came back again. Von Kray's voice couldn't hide the fear. It was hard to imagine what kind of horrible scene was happening on the other side of the phone.
"Body, broken pieces of body …" Von Kray seemed to be racking his brain and didn't know what adjectives to use to describe it.
On the other side, Crocodile and the man with the goat horns looked at each other. Their pupils were flashing, and they couldn't help but hold their breath.
"… The pieces of body stuck together and healed!" Von Kray's teeth chattered, and he was horrified. "The body came back to life and crawled out of the coffin."
Body!
Coffin!
Crawled out!
Several keywords were connected together, and Crocodile's mind suddenly thought of Yarlin, and the body cut into pieces by Doflamingo appeared in his mind.
"Where are you?" Crocodile asked.
On the other end of the phone, the expressionless Von Kray stood beside a 'coffin'. The door of the coffin was pushed open from the inside, and a freshly made transformed body crawled out.
Feng Kray's eyelids didn't even twitch. He held a piece of white paper steadily with one hand and read the script with a trembling voice, as if he was reading from a script.
Even though it wasn't Daz Bonis' first time witnessing the transformation, his face still twitched. Behind him, Nicole Robin, who was wearing a pair of pitch-black sunglasses, was indeed witnessing such a strange scene for the first time. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.
This underground lair was even more bizarre and terrifying than she had imagined. She was glad that she had made the right choice.
"I saw Daz Bonis. Then, I followed him and snuck into a base. There was a strange coffin in the base …" Von Kray glanced at the last two lines on the paper and answered.
"Exact location?" Crocodile suppressed his inner emotions. He felt that Von Kray might have seen the secret of Yarlin's resurrection.
Feng Kray reported a rough location. On the other end of the phone, Crocodile's eyes lit up and he said, "Wait for me there!"
The Den Den Mushi was hung up.
"Got it!"
Von Kray looked at the hung up Den Den Mushi and read the last line meticulously. Then he moved the Den Den Mushi and the lines on the table next to him.
"Almost word for word, he almost guessed Crocodile's reaction." Although he didn't say the name, Nicole Robin knew who Daz Bonis was talking about.
She glanced around and didn't see Yarlin's shadow. Obviously, Yarlin should have arrived at the designated location one step ahead of them. In the distance, there was an empty pool with a lonely body soaking in it.
On the other side was the main area of the laboratory. Several scientific research lunatics in white coats were busy. They didn't seem to be very interested in the scene that was happening here. Or rather, they had already determined the outcome of everything, so they were still carrying out their work in an orderly manner.
"That, where is the location?" Nicole Robin asked Daz Bonis. She asked this question out of curiosity, or to cover up the fear and shock in her heart. She was just trying to find a topic to talk about.
"Not far from Eruma's location!" Crocodile looked at the map he carried with him and found the approximate location and vague coordinates reported by Von Kray. He said to the man with the goat horn, "I'll go there!"
"It involves the secret of resurrection, I have to see it with my own eyes …" The man with the goat horn made a strange laugh. His face was full of curiosity and madness. He licked his lips and said, "But, it's almost time. What if Yarlin arrived early?"
Crocodile didn't say anything. He put away the map and looked at the man.
"Let me take a look for you. This kind of strange thing, my eyes can see more details and truth." As a top scientist, he felt that he was more suitable than Crocodile to take a look at the coffin. After all, ordinary people can only see strange things, but he may be able to see the truth behind the strange things.
"My eyes are just as sharp!"
Crocodile replied coldly. He glanced at the silent Eruma. He didn't see anyone for the time being. He said without hesitation, "You stay here and see Yarlin for me. For you, killing him and taking his body, won't you still be able to decipher the secret?"
"That coffin, I'm also curious —" The man with the goat horn on his head shook. His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
"It's not too late to see it after that!" Sand began to swirl around Crocodile. The wind wrapped around the yellow sand wrapped him in it. His body gradually faded into the sand.
"Well, it's your territory. You have the final say!" The man with the goat helplessly spread his hands. He looked at the sandstorm in the distance and slowly retracted his gaze. He stared at the moon hanging in the sky and calculated the time until the agreed time.
"It's been a long wait …"
In the sky, a black cloud drifted over and covered the moon. A whirlpool suddenly appeared in the center of the dried-up Aluma. Two hooded figures covered in black cloaks floated out from the whirlpool …
The man with the goat horn looked up at the black cloud, then retracted his gaze and casually glanced at the location of Eruma. His face suddenly changed and he said, "When did they appear?"
