In order to celebrate Brooke's joining, Robin had to remake a good dish on the table.

At the huge round table, three people sit next to each other.

Luffy and Brooke frequently toasted and toasted each other.

"Goo knock goo ... Yes~! Like an old man drinking a cold beer in the summer, Brooke blew and drank a glass of fine milk that Robin had specially selected for Luffy in the Chambord Islands.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Luffy to have the same hobby as me~" Brooke said as he "snapped" the empty cup that was not left, put it on the table, and said.

"Aha, after all, you can only grow up by drinking milk..."Luffy drank milk, ate vegetables, and talked at the same time, but he didn't feel busy at all.

Turning his head and complimenting Robin, he said, "Robin's cooking is really getting better and better!" ”

Robin smiled, and instantly felt that so many days of hard work were really not in vain.

"By the way, you said Moria wasn't dead yet?" Luffy was eating, and suddenly thought of what Robin had just said to him.

Speaking of this, Robin immediately said: "Yes, when I used my ability to investigate before, I found that Moria was dying, but his subordinates didn't seem to give up, and they were still treating him, and now he is out of danger." ”

Even now, Robin couldn't believe that the subtle operation of Hogubak that day was simply the ultimate in surgery.

"Hmm... Is that so..."Luffy munched on something.

"What do we do now, Mr. Luffy?" Brooke said, stroking the handle of his cane.

Psychologically, he refuses to commit murder, and running away is more in line with his psychology.

But Moria's strength makes him feel extremely frightened, and he doesn't know how Mr. Luffy will choose...

"Huh?" Luffy looked up at him in surprise, and then said, "Wait a few days, and I'll look for him when he comes to his senses." ”

"Qing... Awake? Who are we going to?" Brooke said with a slight tremor in his hands, especially hoping that Luffy would be able to say an answer other than Moria.

"Of course it's Moria." Luffy stuffed his mouth with something and said vaguely.

Brooke's nervous hand shook slightly, then he exhaled, and thought to himself, "Yes, this man in front of me is also a monster of the same level as Moria... It seems that when you get on this boat, your mentality needs to change..."

"By the way, Brooke, why are you a pirate?"

The meal is almost over, Luffy thinks it's okay tonight anyway, there is one more partner on the ship, and everyone can just relax and get to know each other tonight.

Brooke suddenly calmed down and seemed to sink into deep memories.

Slowly, he spoke, "Mr. Luffy, actually, there is one thing I haven't told you. ”

Brooke picked up the empty cup on the table, looked at his reflection from the cup, and continued: "I made a pact with a companion that if I can't keep my promise, I'm not worthy of being a man..."

The atmosphere seemed to be a little sad.

"I used to be a crew member of the Rumba Pirates.

We set sail from the West Sea, with music and dreams, determined to be a group of pirates who can make crying children laugh.

When we were still in the West Sea, a juvenile whale who had been separated from the colony followed us, and we took him across many seas with us, and the crew loved him.

What I didn't expect was that he would follow us all the way through the entrance of the Great Voyage, the Upside-Down Mountain, and enter the Great Passage. ”

Tears from the soul slowly flowed from Brooke's eyes.

"But the Great Voyage is too dangerous, and Rab is still a child, and we can't let it venture with us.

So we made a pact with it.

We will cross the Great Voyage straight and meet Him again.

It's a pity ......"

Brooke's tears flowed more and more, and Luffy and Robin listened quietly to his story.

Suddenly, Brooke stood up from his chair, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said solemnly, "Mr. Luffy, please allow me to introduce myself again." ”

"I'm Brooke, who is dead and only has skeletons left, and I'm also bounty!

Known as [Nose Hum] Brooke, the bounty is 33 million!

He used to be the head of a country's escort regiment, and later joined the Rumba Pirates as an acting captain, musician, and swordsman!

From today onwards, he will be under the orders of Captain Route.

I hope to rely on Mr. Luffy's great power.

To be able to go back to Upside Down Mountain again, no matter what Rab is like now, I want to go to the place we agreed to be.

Mr. Luffy! Miss Robin!

Please be perfect! ”

Looking at Brooke, who suddenly knelt on the ground, Luffy and Robin looked at each other.

Then Luffy said softly, "Get up."

Maybe it won't be that long, and in two years I will need to return to the East China Sea to attend my brother's departure ceremony.

After that, we will go from the Upside Down Mountain to the Great Voyage.

You'll also have a chance to go there and have a look. ”

Luffy, who remembered the plot, of course knew that Rab was still there, just enough to reunite Brooke with him.

After speaking, Luffy focused on the Poké Ball in his backpack and began to ponder.

“......

Be! Mr. Luffy! ”

Hearing Luffy's plan, he slowly stood up, looking at Luffy and Robin who were smiling and white-toothed, Brooke's hand holding the cane was clenched tightly, and he felt that there was new hope in life.

"That's right~" Robin, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I have heard rumors before.

It is said that at the entrance to the Great Passage, there was a huge whale that often crashed into the Upside Down Mountain, and many ships that entered the Great Voyage were damaged. ”

"The old man who was guarding the lighthouse there seemed to have said that the whale's name was Rab."

Robin finished speaking, smiling at the black hole in Brooke's eyes.

Brooke shuddered, and said slowly, "He... Still waiting for us there!?

Rabtha ......

Are you sure......

He's okay... I should have grown up..."

"Yes, I've heard more than once from a pirate who has just entered the Great Voyage about it, and he's a very sturdy fellow." Robin replied lightly.

Brooke lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down his bones.

"Really... He's fine..."

"Uh-huh..."

Rejoicing, sad, missing...

Fifty years of squeezed emotions have finally been released.

Opening the skull, Brooke magically pulls out a purple conch from the skull.

Looking at the Yinbei in his hand, Brooke slowly explained: "This is something that was bought on a merchant ship before, called Yinbei.

This amazing thing can store sound and leave it for later playback. ”

"Here are the voices of the dead companions.

They wanted to tell Rab that we had [a happy end to the journey]..."

I pressed the switch of the sound bei, and a beautiful melody was released from it.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho ~ Yo Ho Ho ~ Ho Ho ~ Ho ~"

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho ~ Yo Ho Ho ~ Ho Ho ~ Ho ~"

"Binks' Wine ~Delivered to You~"

“...................................................”

"It's nice to be alive..."
