At Sea: Building a Mysterious and Terrifying Funeral

Year 1520 of the Sea Circle Calendar.

The Pirate King Roger ushered in the Great Age of Piracy. The Four Emperors dominated the New World, while the Seven Warlords watched as eleven super rookies emerged.

Just as heroes were rising on all sides, Zoro received devastating news.

Qiang Ni had died.

Who was Qiang Ni? He and Joseph were both bounty hunters, and the two had once followed Zoro.

But neither Luffy nor Nami could tell the two apart.

That was because they were just so ordinary!

The funeral began.

The bounty hunters sat in the church, munching on sunflower seeds.

"Why should we attend the funeral of some nobody?"

Arlong: "Who was Qiang Ni? But thank goodness you died. Now I can take leave and get out of Impel Down!"

Arlong: "A guy who wastes air while alive and dirt while dead. His greatest contribution to the world is dying sooner rather than later!"

But just before Qiang Ni died, he met Qiao Yan!

Qiao Yan, who could fulfill his final wish and give him a proper funeral!

Qiao Yan: Yan, as in the King of Hell!
