Chapter 44: Brooke's Past and Binks' Wine
"Ah, Brooke, I didn't expect you to cook well." Saitama sat on a shabby chair, forked a piece of fried meat and stuffed it into his mouth, the rich delicacy spread between his tongue, and Saitama instantly felt happy and full of food, and kept praising him.
"Yo ho ho, thank you for the compliment, in fact, I haven't made anything to eat for many years, and this is the first time to treat the sea kings as ingredients, this feeling is really amazing."
Brooke said as he tied himself up with a napkin, picked up the knives and forks on either side of the worn-out dinner plate, and prepared for his meal.
But when he looked at Saitama who was gobbling up in front of him, he suddenly felt a little in a trance, as if he saw all the crew members singing here, drinking and dining, talking about dreams and freedom, how lively it used to be here, and how bleak it is now.
Seeing Brooke holding a knife and fork in his hand, Saitama asked vaguely while chewing the food, "By the way, Brooke has only bones left, can you eat?" ”
"If you can eat, you will also feel hungry, not to mention that I haven't eaten food for many years, and I have long been hungry with my heart close to my back, although I have only bones left, no front heart and back."
"It's amazing, what the hell is going on with your body?" Saitama asked.
When Brooke heard this, he fell into a memory: "I used to be a pirate, and I went out to sea with my friends on this ship, and ten years ago, we came to this devil's sea, and unfortunately, we met very powerful pirates, and finally we were all wiped out. ”
Speaking of this, Brooke let out a long sigh: "Of course, in fact, I also died, but because I ate the devil fruit that can be resurrected before I was born, the power of the fruit came into play when I died, and my soul returned to the world from the underworld, originally I only needed to find my body and possess it immediately to come back to life, but as you can see, the sea where I died was covered with thick fog all year round, so I got lost......"
Saitama is embarrassed, and he is almost the same as he is now, and he is also lost.
"No wonder, this Devil's Triangle is so weird, even I got lost." Saitama comforted herself.
"Yo ho ho ho, it turns out that Saitama you got lost and got here, what a coincidence."
Saitama laughed, picked up another piece of meat steak and ate it: "And then? How did you end up like this? ”
"My soul has been wandering in the fog for a whole year, and by the time I found my body, he had turned to bones, and I was stunned! I don't have eyeballs though! ”
"Hahaha, so you're what you are, a talking skeleton? It's really funny. Saitama still had a meat steak in his mouth, and he choked himself when he laughed.
"Ahem, water, water!"
Brooke hurriedly poured a large glass of red wine for Saitama.
Saitama doesn't matter what it is, drink it with a bang, and it's a lot better.
"Well, this wine tastes great." Saitama took a few more sips.
"Please feel free to use it, there is still a lot of fine wine stored in the bottom compartment of this ship, which has been stored for more than ten years, and it tastes very mellow, although the bones will not taste good."
Saitama laughed, "You're so funny. ”
"Ah, I'm very happy to meet you Saitama, it's been a long time since I've talked so much to a living person, it's really lonely, my companions are dead, leaving only Brooke with bones after death, although life is very miserable, but I'm still trying to live with only bones left! Yo ho ho ho ”
"Haha, you're really optimistic, but Brooke, what exactly are the Devil Fruits you are talking about? It sounds amazing to be able to bring the dead back to life. Saitama asked.
"Ah, that thing is really powerful, people who eat devil fruits will have superpowers, but there are also side effects, that is, they will be disgusted by the sea, they can't swim, and if they fall into the sea, they will instantly lose their strength, and finally be drowned alive."
"Is this fruit very rare in this world?"
"It should be very rare, but when I was alive, I set out from the West Sea to the Great Passage with my friends on the ship, and I met many powerful guys who were Devil Fruit abilities, most of them were sea pirates, and people from the navy."
"It's not very rare to say that." Saitama nodded thoughtfully: "Are there a lot of pirates in this world?" When I first arrived at this place, I came across a group of guys who claimed to be the Rocks Pirates, who were fighting with a group of navy. ”
"Luo ...... Rocks Pirates? Saitama, it's really amazing that you met them and were able to leave unharmed. Brooke said in surprise.
Saitama was slightly stunned: "What?" Are they awesome? ”
Hearing Saitama's evaluation, Brooke's mouth opened wide, and his mandibles almost fell off: "It's not just powerful, the Rocks Pirates are the most terrifying pirates in the world, the power is very huge, and there are many powerful pirates under them, even the navy can't do anything about them." ”
"Ah, actually, we're old rivals with the Rocks Pirates, but unfortunately, our partners were all dead by the time they reached the Great Passage, so we didn't have a chance to fight those guys......"
"Forget it, let's not talk about those sad things, let's sing, in order to celebrate today's encounter! I almost forgot to mention that I used to be a musician on this pirate ship. ”
"Hahaha, Brooke, you're really good, if I can introduce you to my friends, those guys will be very interested in you." Saitama laughed.
"Really? Hahaha, by the way, Saitama, where did you come here? ”
Saitama looked a little annoyed and helpless when she heard this question, and then told Brooke about her experience.
"Yo ho ho ho, it's a very amazing experience, what is the five-color magatama you are talking about? Can I take a look? Brooke asked.
"Ah, it was originally embedded in my suit, but now it can't be unfolded, so I can't take it out."
"It's a shame."
"So I'm going to find a way to solve this problem and go back to my own world, by the way, Brooke, do you know a better mechanic?" Saitama suddenly asked, now he is counting on meeting these people to see if he can solve the problem of his battle suit, as long as he can re-urge the five-color magatama, he can go back again.
"Awesome mechanic? I do know a very good boatsmith named Tom, a horned fishman, but he lives on the seven islands of water. Brooke thought for a moment and said.
"The Seven Islands of Water? What is this place? ”
At this time, Brooke took out a very strangely shaped pointer from the box behind him and handed it to Saitama: "This thing is called the eternal pointer, only this pointer can find its way in the great route, and the reason why you are lost should be that your compass has failed." ”
Saitama took the Eternal Pointer and frowned, "What do you want to think of this thing?" ”
"Yo ho ho ho ho Brooke then taught Saitama how to use the Eternal Pointer, marking the location of the Water City on his sailing route.
After a short break, the two finally said goodbye.
"By the way, Brooke, are you really not going to come with me?"
Brooke shook his head in frustration and rejected Saitama's proposal: "If I leave like this, I should be regarded as an anomaly, not to mention that I have another very important agreement to complete, right Saitama!" If you can see a whale passing by Twin Heads, remember to help me tell that guy that the Rumba Pirates are still sailing on the Great Voyage, and the partners are very nice, so don't worry about it, remember to laugh happily every day! ”
"Don't worry, Brooke, if I can meet it, I will definitely convey it." Saitama stood on the boat and waved goodbye to Brooke.
"At the end of that separation, I'll send you a beautiful bar from Binks! Saitama"
Brooke picked up the worn-out violin and set it up, gently pulling the strings, and the joyful music began to play.
Yo ho ho
Yo ho ho
Deliver Binks to you
Like the sea breeze, ride the wind and waves as you like
On the other side of the sea
The sunset is also noisy
The song of the birds
Draw circles in the air
Goodbye to the land of the Silk of the Harbor
Let's sing a song, the song of sailing
The golden and silver waves also turned into splashes
We are leaving only because of the ocean
Deliver Binks to you......
Saitama's figure had disappeared into the vast sea mist, and Brooke sang and sang, suddenly raising his head and crying.
