Chapter Seventy-Two: Dance of the Dead, Fifty Years of Promise

"Nose Brother Sanding ······"

Like a meteor flashing in the starry sky, an incomparably sharp cane sword instantly pierced through the steel-clad ship that more than a dozen big men had hurriedly hidden, and then passed by the hull, Brooke, who slowly put the cane sword into its sheath, and slowly said the unspoken half-sentence.

"-Arrowtail Slash!"

Creak!

The pierced steel ship made a piercing sound, and the narrow crack that was pierced suddenly burst out of a dozen cracks, and the cracks continued to crack, and the cracks did not end after they appeared, but continued to spread in all directions, and soon spread throughout the entire hull, and before the pirates hiding in the ship could figure out the situation, the entire hull suddenly cracked, and the iron filings flew everywhere, revealing the hull that had been turned into countless pieces of fine wood.

"The 'Bru Robinson' with its steel shell was reduced to ruins with only one blow!!"

"Damn skull shelf, is this really something a Devil Fruit can do?"

For a while, there were countless shouts, and after the "Bru Robinson" disintegrated, the dozen or so pirates who were originally hiding in the cabin suddenly had no place to stay, and could only helplessly fall into the icy sea.

"Binks' wine, delivered to you······"

With a low whisper, Brooke walked to the sea that had been frozen into an ice road, looking at the sea that had been frozen into ice within ten meters of the surrounding area, as well as the pirates whose bodies were frozen so that they couldn't move, Brooke's mood gradually calmed down, and he felt the fluctuating blue-purple cold air around the skeleton, but there was an indescribable discomfort.

No one knows that the true ability of the Yellow Spring Fruit, even Brooke, in the past fifty years, is unaware of it,—— forcibly bring the originally dead life back to the present world, and since then he has become a Yellow Spring Walker who runs through the two worlds of life and death, the soul is immortal and immortal, as long as he finds a suitable carrier for the soul, Brooke can be resurrected again and again!

No, it is not accurate to say that it is "resurrected", Brooke has long since died, it can only be said that his "time" is frozen at the moment of death, and he is "alive" with the posture of "death"!

That's it, Brooke can use a special ability to ,—— death qi from the Netherworld Yellow Spring, which is also known as "ghost energy"!

In other words, Brooke has now become the third powerhouse after Ace and Lilith to possess this power that does not belong in the human world!

And the nature of ghost qi is to be static and lingering, and it can freeze everything that is alive.

"I really······ I miss you all so much, and Rab! ”

The pirates, who were originally terrified, were quietly waiting for the skeleton demon to come, and then end their lives with a sword, but they were surprised to find that the other party's flesh and blood eyes were constantly flowing with tears, muttering something in a low voice, but finally put the sword back into its sheath, never looked at this side again, and left silently alone.

"Did he let us go?"

There is nothing more exciting than the redemption of life! The pirates howled in oblivion, even though they were still half frozen in ice.

The sweat splashed everywhere, the forgetful shouts, this hearty battle, constantly evokes Brooke's memories of being in the Rumba Pirates in the past, at that time, he seems to be fighting with his companions like this, although they have all left him, but this memory is the only pillar that supports Brooke through the fifty years of helplessness.

Fifty years of bitterness, fifty years of loneliness, fifty years of regret······ Fifty years, too many, can drive a person crazy! The same was true of Brooke, who remembered that Captain York, who was critically ill, made a desperate decision to keep more people alive.

That is, healthy people, continue to sail; And the sick stay.

Stay······ Wait for death.

It was the last conversation between Brooke and Captain York: before leaving, they pulled him to his side and quietly told him what to do after he died. Of course, it is said that it is to tell everything after death, but in fact, it is nothing, from beginning to end, Captain York only said one sentence, "Live well, see Rab in the future, tell it for me, I like it very much, and the whole Rumba Pirates are." ”

Brooke kept his promise and left the pirate ship they had been with for many years with his other companions, who had not yet fallen ill, and as he was separated from Captain York for more and more time, Brooke always felt that he was going to die······ Like Captain York, but after waking up from his dreams countless times, the cold sweat on his palms and forehead reminded him that he was still alive ,——.

This is obviously more unacceptable than death! But Brooke couldn't give up yet, because he had an agreement with Captain York, and he had an agreement with Rab.

That's something you can't forget!

In the end, he died.

But he came back to life from Yellow Springs, because he had an agreement with Captain York, and he had an agreement with Rab.

Because that's something you can't even forget when you die!

"Yo, Brooke, would you like to join us?" The man who brought himself to the sun again, every time he saw him, it was like seeing Captain York again, the figure in his memory gradually coincided with the boy in front of him, Brooke suddenly felt unreal, as if Captain York had never left, so kind, so sunny, and only such a person is worthy of believing in his life.

"Wait a little longer, Rab, and when I reach Ralphdrew, I'll go to the East China Sea to find you, and we'll never be separated again."

Thinking of this, Brooke stepped up again and walked towards the center of the island, where a beluga whale-like sound sounded,—— which was the signal that Conise used to gather his companions.

······

"So, the guy named Arkham did all this?" Anilu had stopped killing, and with Conis, he listened quietly to the returning Yuna tell them what was going on behind the scenes.

"What about Ace?" As if sensing the eagerness in her tone, Conise explained with some embarrassment, "I mean, Captain, he's still alone underground?" ”

Comforting the little Lota who had woken up, Yuna nodded solemnly, although she had told herself countless times in her heart that the more severe the situation, the more she had to be calm, but after Conys mentioned this, the worry in her heart increased again.

"I see······ Grace brushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and his heart had already flashed the cause and effect of all this, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Conis, use your harp to gather your companions immediately, and leave the other hostile pirates alone, if I guessed correctly······"

"Hey, what the hell are you talking about, if we stop at this time, those bunnies won't let go of this good opportunity!" Anilu was obviously very dissatisfied with the other party's proposal, he was also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, and he knew very well that if he withdrew from the battle at this time, he would be completely attacked by the other party.

"No, Grace is right, our primary enemy is not them, and we must retain our combat power until Ace returns." Yuna doesn't have any hope that the so-called "truth" and "trap" will convince the respective pirates. The guy whose blood has already rushed to his head can't stop him for any reason, because the killing can only end with blood.

"I see." Coness chipped her head slightly, and gently pulled the strings with her bare hands, and the beluga whale fruit "Louis" suddenly let out a burst of clear sounds, and drove a certain frequency to spread around.

It's just that it's too late!

The next moment when Conyce gave the signal, the "island within an island" suddenly shook, and the sand and gravel and dust flew up, rolling up the sky full of smoke and dust, stirring up the nearby sea water wave after wave, not to mention the people standing on the island!

"Kerakala ······"

With the sound of the earth's crust breaking, the majestic mountain range, which stretched for nearly a hundred miles, was uprooted, boulders the size of pirate ships flew all over the sky, and from time to time people were smashed into meat sauce, and the screams and wails suddenly resounded, and from a distance, it seemed as if the entire island was about to collapse.

"Whew——!"

At this moment, an earth-shattering dragon roar came from the highest mountain range on the entire island, and reverberated in layers of deafening echoes across the entire sky, dispersing the thick dark clouds above the island.
