Chapter Thirty-Four: A Touching Story
"Why did you come out of there?" Usopp looked at Luffy in surprise. "Shouldn't you be outside?"
If he remembered correctly, Luffy should be on top of that whale.
"Ah, I saw a door above the whale's head, and I came in." Luffy grinned, "I didn't expect to find you."
At this time, Luffy was still very happy, after all, the partners were all right.
Zoro sighed, what a worrying captain.
"Hey, you two." Zoro glanced at the two people squatting on the ground and said, "Although I also rescued you together, who are you?"
"mr·9, they are pirates!" mr·Wednesday said cautiously.
"I…I see, Mr. Wednesday."
"But explain it to them, it should be fine." Mr. 9 said uncertainly, "Probably?"
No one has a conflict of interest anyway, right?
"Are you guys still here?!" Crocus, who came back from work, looked at the two with a sullen face and said, "How many times do you have to tell me before you can give up!"
"As long as I'm still here, you'll never touch Laboon's hair!"
Chu Feng:…
Whales have hair on this thing?
"Hmph, it's not up to you, old man~" mr·9 and mr·Wednesday picked up the rocket launcher and pointed it at the far wall. "As long as we break the whale's stomach, he will be dead!"
Crocus's pupils shrank, did he plan to use a weapon this time?
"fire!"
"bump!"
"boom!"
The explosion sounded, but the imaginary artillery shell did not go out. Instead, the rocket launchers in the hands of the two people exploded.
"Huh?" Crocus wondered what was going on.
"It's not good for a child to play with such a dangerous weapon." Chu Feng said lightly, then looked at Crocus in the air, "Uncle, let's go out and have a good chat."
"Did you do it." Crocus nodded. "Okay."
At the same time, the goodwill towards this group of newcomers has risen to a new stage.
...….
After coming outside, Sanji skillfully prepared lunch.
Chu Feng and others were sitting next to Crocus and chatting with him.
"Uncle, why does Laboon keep hitting the Red Line?" Nami glanced at Laboon on the water in the distance, and the marks on his head were clearly visible.
"This is a long story." Crocus glanced at Laboon, his eyes full of distress. "This kid has actually been waiting here for fifty years."
"Fifty years?!"
"Yes." Crocus nodded, unconsciously recalling the first time he met the Lombard Pirates. "Fifty years ago, the Lombard Pirates came here with Laboon. It's only so small."
With a smile on his face, Crocus reached out and gestured at the size of Laboon at the time.
"But after all, the Grand Line is a particularly dangerous sea area. If they take this little guy, they can't guarantee the safety of this little guy." Crocus sighed, "So they put him with me."
"Why don't you take him." Usopp was a little puzzled. "Leave a partner or something…"
That's right, in his opinion, Laboon is the partner of the pirates!
"There is no way to do this. There are too many sea beasts in the Grand Line. After all, the ocean is not the world of human beings." Chu Feng said lightly, "In case of negligence, Laboon may be eaten by other sea beasts. of."
"So putting him here was the right choice."
but…
"Yes." Crocus nodded. "That's what Brook told me back then."
"They said they would definitely come back to see Laboon after they left."
"But this leaving…"
"It's fifty years and never came back."
Crocus took a sip from the bottle, his face full of melancholy. "When I came back here, this little guy had grown very big."
"And hitting the Red Line every day because he feels it's the continent that's preventing him from reuniting with his mates."
"Why, did they abandon their partners?!" Usopp's face was full of anger, if that was the case, he would despise that group of people!
To be able to abandon his partner is not something that a man can do!
"I don't know." Crocus shook his head. "But they never came back."
"Is there a possibility…" Chu Feng looked up at Laboon in the distance and said, "They are already dead."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Being able to carry this little guy around all the time is proof that they like it very much."
"But he had to be put down when he was here, and it was also for his safety."
"Do you think such a person would give up his partner?"
Chu Feng thought of the Brook who had been floating in the dark sea for fifty years, and he was in great pain!
"Why are you…" Crocus looked at Chu Feng at a loss for words. Why was he so sure?
"Are you curious why I say this?" Chu Feng pushed his glasses and said with a serious face, "In a certain area of the Grand Line, it is called the Devil's Triangle."
"And there, there is a ghost ship that has been floating for decades, with a living skull on it."
"His name is Brook!"
"Crack." Crocus widened his eyes excitedly, and smashed the wine bottle in his hand.
But he didn't notice it at all, instead he stood up and said seriously, "What are you talking about?!"
"Yeah." Chu Feng nodded, looking very serious.
Crocus sat down again, muttering to himself, "Yes, it must be."
That bastard, Brook, was eating a yellow spring fruit, a terrifying power that could bring people back to life.
Then it's possible that Brook is still alive.
Although it is unclear why it is in the state of a skeleton, it is good news to be alive!
"Laboon, did you hear that!" Crocus stood up and ran to the beach shouting, "Brook is alive, alive!"
"Ow!" Laboon screamed in the sky, his voice extremely complicated.
There is relief, excitement, grievance, and fear.
but…
Finally there is news!
