Kurokas asked Rab the question he wanted to know most: "What happened to the rest of the Rumba Pirates?" ”

In fact, when he saw Brooke's current appearance, Kulokas already had a bad guess, and after thinking about it carefully, it was not the Rumba Pirates who came this time, but the amber tour group that was very famous in the East China Sea recently...... I'm afraid the Rumba Pirates have long ceased to exist, right?

Faced with this question, Brooke silently lifted his skull, took out his treasured sound, and gently pressed the play button.

The little Tone Berry heard the last ensemble and chorus of the Rumba Pirates, and Rab, who heard the music, jumped up and carefully swam on the surface of the sea like a child, and followed the rhythm with the chorus of "woo~woo~".

Brooke watched this scene with mixed feelings and couldn't help but pick up his beloved violin.

The sound of the piano followed the melody of the sound shell, and the scene before Brooke's eyes kept changing, and the departed companions stood beside him again, playing their instruments, and the four-hundred-meter-long Rab reverted back to the small whale the size of one or two people, swimming and churning in the waves with their music......

"Yo roar roar, yo roar roar ......"

Rab leaned against the shore, and the captain and Brooke stroked Rab's head together: "No matter how many times you look at it, you think Brooke's hairstyle is exactly the same as Rab's head!" ”

Brooke scratched at his hair: "Isn't that great?" Yo roar roar roar roar ~ "

"Binks Wine Toast"

The crew clinked glasses to each other: "Cheers to Brooke for eating the landlubber fruit!" ”

Brooke subconsciously clinked his glasses, and then immediately shouted, "What kind of reason is that toasting!" And that's the Yellow Spring Fruit! ”

"Against the Wind and the Waves"

The Rumba Pirates held a swimming competition, and a mischievous crew rode on Rab: "Rush, Rab! Don't lose to those guys! ”

Brooke, who couldn't participate, stood on the boat and raised his fist: "Give me a good game, don't use Rab to cheat!" ”

"My favorite flag is flying under the clear sky"

After the twin capes were repaired, the Rumba Pirates set sail again: "Rab, in two or three years, we will complete our journey around the world, and then climb the Upside Down Mountain again, and return to this place, by then your body should have become huge and strong, and then we will go on an adventure together!" ”

"This sea is completely impossible to judge with common sense, I can't stand it! Sing a song, sing that song! ”

"I don't know how Captain Yuki's illness is, whether he has managed to cross the windless zone. But we will inherit his will and continue on this new ship until we see Rab! ”

"They have poison on their weapons...... Even the ship's doctor died...... Ha ha...... Are we going to be wiped out? ”

"I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to leave happily, how about it, do you want to come to the chorus? If I can really resurrect it, I will definitely bring this sound shell back to Twin Heads! ”

……

In the second half of the music, the number of players decreased one by one, and Rab whined anxiously, as if he saw the phantoms around Brooke disappear one by one, saw the adventure of the Rumba Pirates, and saw the scene of his companions falling one by one during the performance forty years ago.

He sadly tried to hold on, but could not do anything.

Rab was a very clever island whale, and he had already guessed what Brooke was trying to tell him by listening to such a change in music, but he would rather not be so clever himself, and the joy just now was like a dream bubble, drowning in the sadness that came from the mountains and the tsunami.

Familiar figures, interesting memories, kept appearing and disappearing in Rab's mind, and all the members of the Rumba Pirates waved goodbye to Rab with smiles, and Rab tried to swim forward, but could not touch them anyway.

Swimming, swimming, Rab's scarred head against the shore, the cold and hard touch of the rocks on the red earth continent pulling him back to reality, Rab's big eyes filled with confusion and sadness.

He habitually stepped back, his huge tail wagging his tail, wanting to hit the Red Earth Continent as before, but this time it was not to crash through the Red Earth Continent to the other side to find a partner, but just to vent after grief, and wanted to numb himself with pain.

Brooke is still playing the violin, and only the sound of Brooke's piano accompaniment is left in the sound, and Brooke forty years ago and Brooke today seem to be face-to-face in an ensemble across time and space, using this piece to transmit all his feelings from the past and present to Rab.

Rab was stunned, he read Brooke's feelings, the joy of reunion after a long absence, the sadness of losing his companion, the regret of not being able to complete the agreement, and the worry about him all these years......

But most of all, Rab understood the last message left by the Lomba Pirates in the song - "We ended the trip cheerfully and happily. ”

This is the meaning of this recording left by the Rumba Pirates, as pirates, they have long been prepared to die in battle one day, everyone will have this day, and there is nothing to be afraid of dying.

The only thing they were worried about was that they wouldn't be able to fulfill their agreement with Rab, and they would be sad to learn of their deaths, right?

How can they make crying children laugh when they die, so how can they make their companions cry after they die?

So they exhausted the last of their vitality and left Rab this 'unprecedented' chorus of the Rumba Pirates, telling him:

"Although we are gone, we are smiling, and I ask you to ......continue to live with a smile in the future."

Brooke knew the meaning of the song, so for the past forty years, he would listen to it every time he felt lonely, and this 'song of life' would make him feel the presence of his companions, both as a gift to Rab and as a gift to him.

Pepper the Shark was the first to understand the song, so for the first time on the Terror Trimas, he listened to a full song without running away, and he could feel the joy of the singer to the others, and this kind of performance and singing was difficult for Tom to copy.

Rab, as a partner of the Rumba Pirates, now understands the song, so he didn't hit the rock wall in the end, he won't deliberately hurt himself anymore, and he will try to fulfill the last wish of his companions - to live well and live well with a smile...... With Brooke.

Rab listened to the last note in silence and stared silently at Brooke, who had put down his violin.

Finally, Rab opened his mouth slightly: "Woo~~~"

"I understand, Rab! I understand! Brooke's tears welled up again, and he raised his hand holding the bow and wiped it with his sleeve:

"You still have me! Speaking of which, I'm really useless, and I still need you to comfort me at this time. But it's not just you and I'm here, I'm still there! ”

"Woo~~~" Rab flattened his body and leaned against the shore, as if inviting Brooke to go up.

"Yes, this is the last time I shed tears." Brooke wiped away his tears and lightly jumped onto Rab's back, "So, let me play a song for you, sing your favorite song!" ”

"Woo~Woo~" Rab carried Brooke as steadily as before, swimming on the surface of the sea.

The sound of violins, singing, and whale chirping resounded through the Twin Capes.

……

While Brooke and Rab were in the sea, Kurokas asked about Brooke's experience and told the Amber Tours about Rab's past.

Among them, of course, is the origin of those scars on Rab's head.

"Huh? Were those scars from the impact on the Red Earth? Wendy touched her head and said sympathetically, "It must hurt, right?" ”

"His body is too big to go back to the West Sea on the other side of the Red Earth Continent through the canal, and he can only hit his head against the mountain wall day after day." "Rab fears more than pain that his waiting is meaningless. ”

Rui Mengmeng said: "But he has been waiting for so many years, since he believes that his companion will come back, is it really good to hurt himself?" ”

"This ...... Actually, it's my responsibility. Kulokas said with some guilt, "I have confirmed through 'reliable sources' that the Rumba Pirates have escaped the Great Voyage. After telling Rab about this, he didn't want to believe it, so he became irritable and wanted to go to the other side of the Red Earth Continent to confirm it for himself......"

"Reliable conduit" refers to the fact that he once boarded Roger's ship as a ship doctor, and during several years of sailing, he heard the news of the Rumba Pirates escaping the Great Voyage.

Perona said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of reliable channel is that, it's obviously fake news." ”

"Probably, I hurt Rab." Kulokas himself was not convinced.

"That's not right." Zhang Da also interjected: "That news should be true." ”

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and Zhang Da also explained: "Brooke once said that because the captain of the original Rumba Pirates, 'Plain White Cloth' Yuki, and a dozen other crew members were infected with infectious diseases, they took the original pirate ship to force their way into the windless zone and prepare to leave the great voyage. ”

"The rest of the crew, led by Brooke, continued their adventures on a new ship, and then disappeared in the Devil's Triangle, where their total annihilation was unknown to the outside world."

"So the news that Mr. Kulokas got should be referring to Yuki and their departure from the Great Voyage on the ship of the Rumba Pirates, and it can't be considered fake news. Mr. Kulokas didn't cheat on Rab, so he shouldn't be too guilty. ”

"Thank you for your comfort." Kurokas smiled at Zhang Da and said, "But having said that, Rab did suffer for a long, long time because of my information. ”

"Yo roar roar ~ Please don't care, Mr. Kulokas!" Brooke rode Rab back to the shore, "Rab doesn't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you for taking care of Rab for so long, and thank you for taking the trouble to gather news about us for Rab. ”

Brooke jumped onto the shore and took off his top hat and bowed gently: "Thank you very much!" ”

"Woo~woo~" Rab replied in a brisk voice.

"Really?" Kurokas smiled, "It's great that you can say that. And, congratulations on seeing you again after a long absence! ”

"Woo~Woo~"

"Thank you!" After Brooke thanked him again, he looked at Zhang Daye and them, "Thank you for taking care of Zai Xia along the way, if it weren't for you, Zai Xia wouldn't know when he would be able to see Rab, such kindness, I am really grateful!" ”

Sorry for keeping you waiting, but the matter is over, but unfortunately it happened to be an uncomfortable chapter. I'll get the unpleasant chapters over as soon as possible, in every sense of the word
