Chapter 31: Funny Man
"Kurokas, how did you know I was here?"
Seeing the terrifying three-masted galleon that had bound him for many years collapse and sink into the sea, Brooke, dressed in a shabby black suit, pressed the yarke hat on his explosive head, and his flesh had been eaten away by the years, and only a strong hair remained, which may be the last stubbornness of his body.
Kulokas looked at the shadows that had scattered after being liberated, and sighed: "Actually, it was a coincidence that I found you......"
When he told Brooke about the ins and outs of the future and what had happened over the years, Kurokas laughed, "I really have to thank Zoro, otherwise we might never see each other again in our lives." ”
Brooke fell silent as he listened to Kulokas's words, he didn't expect so much to happen after he left, and he didn't know that Rab was still waiting for him to return after all these years.
Seeing him stunned on crutches, Kulokas patted him on the shoulder and explained, "Don't feel sad, because our wait is worth it." ”
It's worth it, and it's not for Brooke.
After several years of wandering with his soul after death, he finally found his body and companion that had long since turned into dry bones, and then wandered alone in this devil's triangle for decades, never giving up looking for a way out.
After so many years of waiting for Kulokas and Rab, so many years of searching for Brooke, no one can say how many more years they will have to hold on without news of Zoro, but now that all the fantasies have become reality, the years of hard work have always been worth it.
Tears welled up in his empty eyes, and Brooke choked up as he covered his face and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. ”
It's been too long......
Reilly watched the touching reunion without speaking, he had experienced too much parting and would not express his inner feelings on his face, although he was excited about the reunion of his old friend and old friend, but to be honest, he was still a little curious about how Brooke's tears came about.
After his emotions stabilized, Brooke also told the story of his situation over the years, the fall of the Rumba Pirates, the wonder of the Yellow Springs Fruit bringing him back from the dead, helping those lost in the Devil's Triangle, and his grudge with Moria......
As for the "friend" in Zoro's mouth, in fact, Brooke doesn't know which one it is, after all, he has helped a lot of people over the years.
None of that mattered, though, Brooke only knew that he owed Sauron and his friends a great favor, even if it was the blessing he had ever been for helping others.
"I don't know where that little brother Sauron is now, I want to thank him and his friends in person." Brooke was eager to see Rab right away, and his heart had already flown over the obstacles by the time he heard Kulokas tell him about Rab's current condition, to the scarred island whale at Twin Heads.
But after all, Brooke is an old-timer who has chased his dreams in the sea, so he naturally knows that the pirates will not turn back easily after setting off, and the best way to return is to return to the starting point after going around the sea.
He knew that when he went back this time, he would basically not set foot in the great sea area he longed for again. Maybe in the distant future, if I can walk behind Rab and Kulokas, then maybe there will be a chance to challenge the infinite sea again. But now, Brooke just wants to go back with his old friend for a few drinks, and then return the companionship and love owed to Rab.
"He should have arrived in Alabastan by now." Kurokas didn't know that Brooke had mistaken Zoro for a pirate junior, and he remembered that Sauron had said that he was going to Alabastan to trouble Klokdal, and the time should have been almost up by now.
When Reilly heard this, he chuckled: "Hehe, that's just right, we can stop by to see him when we go back." ”
As early as when Kurokas contacted him, Reilly learned about Sauron's situation, and he was still very interested in this little guy who wiped out the tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea, such a fierce little guy is not common recently, and he can also stop by to ask about Hachi's news......
"Haha, I don't know if he will make a mess of Alabastan, after all, he is going to beat up the 'hero of the nation' Klockdahl." Kurokas touched his pale beard and imagined the battle between Sauron and Klokdal, which should have been an earth-shattering scene.
Reilly raised an eyebrow, his words a hint of disappointment, "Crocodall, hey, that kid is still hanging out there playing his big hero game." ”
After all, he was a superboy who fought with Dalglas Barrett back then, and Reilly was naturally impressed by him, and news of him would come from time to time in the newspapers, in the image of a national hero.
In their time, Darglas Barrett was second only to Captain Roger in the Roger Pirates, and even he could only fight with him in a draw. Although he later became independent from the Pirates, he still never slackened his training, so you can imagine how powerful Klockdal was back then.
Unfortunately, he, like Moonlight Moria, left the New World after failing to challenge the Four Emperors and returned to the Great Passage to make waves. Although none of them gave up on their dream of One Piece and tried to achieve their ambitions through other means, they neglected to exercise, hoping that the method of borrowing foreign objects would only make their strength continue to regress.
It's like Moria, who is much weaker, and he is not a rival to Reilly.
Brooke didn't know what Reilly was talking about, after all, he had been out of touch with modern society for too long, and even the well-known One Piece Roger was still in his impression of a newcomer who had just debuted and was a little famous.
But that's nothing, these things that you missed can be said slowly, and the opportunity to thank Sauron in person may be just that.
The sea is changing rapidly, and no one knows if a separation is a farewell, and Brooke, who has experienced death, is particularly sensitive to this.
And Zoro naturally didn't know that Moonlight Moria, who was far away in the Devil's Triangle, had been demolished by Kulokas and Reilly at this time, and was thrown into the sea to fend for himself, and he didn't know that his partner Brooke in his previous life was preparing to meet him in Alabastan.
He is now saying goodbye to Chopper and Dr. Kureha.
"Sauron Sauron, when I succeed in my studies in the future, can I really go on an adventure with you?" Chopper maintains a human form, with muscular muscles and lush fur that makes him look a bit like a gorilla, far less than a tanuki...... Human-animal form is cute.
But fortunately, Robin still thinks Chopper is cute. After all, she is a woman who likes ugly and cute things, and her aesthetic is unique.
Zoro patted Chopper's shoulder, feeling the powerful muscles and smiled, "Of course, I never lie to you. ”
Dr. Kureha and Robin looked at Sauron in amazement.
It seemed like a promise, but it sounded more like a fact to the two of them.
Dr. Kureha didn't know what Sauron was going to do with his precious apprentice, but thought that the stupid reindeer had abandoned the Sakura Pirate Banner and found a new target.
Robin, on the other hand, glanced at Chopper thoughtfully, then looked at Zoro with a smile, wondering when he would be able to dig out this guy's secret.
She didn't really like to find out other people's secrets, but Sauron obviously had too many more secrets than others, and he was obviously a newcomer who had just ventured into the sea, but he ......
"Hehe, what an interesting man."
