Lin Qing stepped onto the land beyond the Gates of Hell. After looking around, he discovered that it was actually an island, with the sea visible in the distance.
"What's going on? Huangquan Township is an island? And where is this island located?" Lin Qing couldn't believe it.
"System, is this Huangquan Township? Why is it an island?" Lin Qing asked the system.
"This is the Land of the Dead, but as for why it's an island, I have no comment."
“”
Lin Qing had always thought that Huangquan Township should be a continent like the underworld, but he never expected that Huangquan Township in One Piece was actually an island.
However, Lin Qing felt relieved after thinking about it. After all, in this bizarre world of One Piece, it's not unacceptable that the Underworld, which is similar to the netherworld, is an island.
Seeing Lin Qing disappear into the gates of hell, Luffy immediately rushed in, eager to see Ace.
However, Luffy went through the gates of hell but came out from the other side and landed on the deck.
"Huh! Why am I still on the ship?" Luffy asked, a question mark appearing above his head.
Furthermore, Luffy kept darting through the gates of hell, but it was no use. He was just jumping around on the deck, and darting through the gates of hell was of no use.
Afterwards, Nami and the others tried, but none of them could get through the Gates of Hell.
"Hey! Where's Brook? He's disappeared!" Nami discovered that Brook had vanished.
“I saw Brook enter the Gates of Hell and then disappear. Could it be that he entered the Gates of Hell like Lin Qing?” Robin said, frowning.
"Is it because we are all living people that we can't enter the Land of the Dead?"
“But Brook is already dead, and I don’t know about Lin Qing,” Sanji said, exhaling a puff of smoke.
"What should I do? How can I see Ace if I can't get in?" Luffy was immediately disappointed.
"Ah, that's great! We don't have to see ghosts anymore. --Yeah, yeah!" Usopp and Chopper breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Qing waited for a long time but Luffy and the others didn't come in, so Lin Qing went back to see why they weren't coming.
"Yohohoho, Lin Qing and Luffy couldn't get in, but I actually got in!" Brook said, his skull mouth opening and closing.
"Huh? They can't get in?" Lin Qing didn't expect that Luffy and the others couldn't get in.
"Let's go, Brooke, let's go back and take a look." After saying that, Lin Qing strode through the gates of hell and back onto the Thousand Sunny, with Brooke following closely behind.
"Ah, Lin Qing, you're back! We can't get into Huangquan Township, what should we do?" Luffy was heartbroken.
Nami comforted Luffy, while Usopp and Chopper were having a great time.
"Perhaps we can't get in because we're still alive. Legend has it that only the dead can enter the Land of the Dead," Robin explained.
"That should be it, but the reason I was able to enter is probably because I was able to open the entrance to the Underworld!" Lin Qing said.
"Ugh, what should I do? I need to go to the Land of the Dead, I need to see Ace," Luffy said unwillingly.
"By the way, Brook, since you can have your soul leave your body, could you also have your soul leave your body and then enter the Land of the Dead?" Robin asked after thinking for a moment.
After all, Brook is a user of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), and he can also have his soul leave his body.
“Miss Robin, I’m sorry, although I can have my soul leave my body, I cannot make other people’s souls leave their bodies.”
"And also, yo ho ho ho, Miss Robin, may I see your underwear?" Brooke said in a serious but lewd tone.
"We're discussing how to get into the Underworld right now, can't you be serious for once?" Nami punched Brook on the head.
"I see. Don't worry, I can make your souls leave your bodies," Lin Qing said, patting his chest.
"Really? That's great! Let's get started!" Luffy urged Lin Qing eagerly.
"Truly mysterious, no wonder it's the legendary mythical creature 'Dragon'," Robin thought to himself.
With a wave of Lin Qing's hand, a white object was ejected from everyone's body by some kind of force.
This white thing was their soul, and their feet had become like a rope, connecting them to their bodies.
"Ah! A ghost!"
"A ghost! There's a ghost!"
Chopper and Usopp's souls were so frightened that they ran far, far away, but the white rope remained connected to their bodies.
"You two idiots, aren't you ghosts now?" Nami waved her fist in exasperation.
"That's right, we're both ghosts now. Haha! There's nothing to be afraid of." Chopper and Usopp, the two unfortunate brothers, laughed heartily.
"Oh my, how amazing!" Robin said with a grin.
"Huh? Where's my sword? Why didn't my sword become a spirit?" Zoro was very puzzled.
"You idiot, green-haired moss, can a sword have a soul?" Sanji mocked Zoro from the side.
"Shut up! My sword definitely has a soul, you damn perverted cook!" Zoro roared.
"This is amazing! Ah! My armor is gone!" Franky suddenly cried out in terror.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, let's hurry up and enter the Land of the Dead!"
"As for your bodies, it's not safe for you to stay on the ship, so I'll put you in my sleeve!" Lin Qing said.
Without waiting for their reply, he waved his hand again, and everyone except Brook disappeared, but their souls did not.
Only the white rope connecting them had disappeared.
Lin Qing had just started practicing the Sleeve Universe Technique, and it was incredibly easy for him, even though he had only just begun practicing it and the space he hadn't used was small.
However, it's more than enough to fit them all inside.

However, it's more than enough to fit them all inside.
"Oh my, Lin Qing, you're so mysterious. You're a fantasy creature, yet you can open the gates to the Underworld and even make our souls leave our bodies."
"Now you can even hide our bodies somewhere else, that's amazing." Robin, in his soul form, looked at Lin Qing seriously.
"Hahaha! I can fly! That's so cool!" Luffy continued to fly around.
"Stop playing around, Luffy, we're about to enter the Land of the Dead." Lin Qing looked at the group of people speechlessly.
"Ah, right, right, I'm going to find Ace." Luffy then rushed towards the gates of hell.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
One by one, everyone's souls entered the room, but Zoro came to Lin Qing's side.
"Lin Qing, give me my knife when we go inside. A swordsman can't be without a knife."
"Okay!" Lin Qing replied and then entered the Gates of Hell.
"Is this the Land of the Dead? I didn't expect it to be an island. Could it be that the Land of the Dead is somewhere in the world?" Robin said.
"Ah, I'm human again! I'm human again!" Usopp shouted, touching his face and stretching his long nose.
"Oops, I can't fly anymore." Luffy jumped into the sky and then crashed down.
“We’ve all become human, we can feel things when we touch them, but it’s such a strange feeling that we’re still souls.” Nami patted her front.
"Miss Nami, the way you pat your chest is so sexy!" Sanji almost had another nosebleed.
"Ah, where's my mech? Where's my armor? Why have I turned into a human?" Franky was utterly terrified.
"It must be the rule on this island, where a soul can transform into a human form." Lin Qing casually tossed three famous swords to Zoro.
However, the three swords passed right through Zoro's hands and fell to the ground.
"How is this possible? Why can't I get my sword?" Zoro couldn't find his sword.
"Hehehe, Zoro is in a spirit state, how could he possibly touch things in the real world?" Brook, having experienced astral projection, naturally understood these things.
"Oh, really? That's amazing." Luffy ran over and squatted down on the three famous swords, repeatedly passing his hands through the blades.
Suddenly, Luffy's hand turned black, and then he reached for the famous sword, which he then took in his hand.
"Wow, I got it! Haha, I got it!" Luffy shouted happily.
"What? How is this possible? You can use Haki even in a soul state." Robin was incredulous.
"I see, then I can get it too." Zoro immediately covered his palm with Haki and grabbed his famous sword.
"I only recently learned Haki, and it can't last long yet. Damn it." Zoro can't keep using Haki and wielding his sword forever.
Seeing Zoro's disappointment, Lin Qing remembered that he still had the Demon-Slaying Sword (Zhong Kui Sword) and the Kusanagi Sword. He waved his hand and threw the two swords at Zoro's feet.
"Try it and see if you can pick it up. Don't use your domineering manner."
"Hmm? These two swords?" Zoro instantly sensed the power of the two swords.
Although this is a sword, not a knife, the material is definitely superior to his famous swords.
Zoro grabbed the swords without using Haki, and managed to hold both swords in his hands.
"These are two swords, but you should be able to use your swordsmanship. Remember to return them to me when you leave Huangquan Township." Lin Qing wouldn't give these two swords away.
"Haha, great, these are truly beautiful and powerful weapons!" Zoro looked at the two swords as if they were his own wives.
“Let’s go, let’s figure out where we are first, then find the ghost,” Nami said.
Afterwards, the group headed towards the center of the island, and Lin Qing removed the Gate of Hell.
As the group walked, the path, which had been rugged and covered in gravel, suddenly led them to a road that was clearly man-made.
As soon as the group walked up, they saw dozens of people running quickly from a distance, each carrying a pickaxe.
Three enormous giants were pushing a huge cart with huge baskets and pickaxes on it.
"Hurry up, all of you! Don't skimp on the ore today, or you'll regret it!" Will said, sitting atop the giant's head.
He kept whipping the giant, but the giant, despite gritting his teeth in pain, dared not resist and quickly pushed the cart.
"Yes, yes, Lord Will, we will definitely work hard to mine!" the miners replied as they ran.
"Hey? Look, there's someone over there."
"I've never seen you before. Are you new here? But what would a newcomer be doing here?"
