Pirate madman Luffy

Chapter 155 The Unfulfilled Agreement

With the strange "Death Song" from light to heavy, in the dark sea of ​​mist, the huge black shadow gradually became clear under the dim light of the ship.

Soon, a dilapidated ship that seemed to belong to a ghost appeared in front of everyone from the black mist.

It seemed aimless, drifting uncontrollably with the current in the Devil's Delta, even now that it is about to hit the Silver Moon Dragon, there is still no sign of stopping, only the cue from the ghost The Song of Destiny' kept echoing in everyone's ears, getting closer and closer.

"Yo ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

"yo~hohoho~"

"Yo ha ha ha ha..."

"yo~hoho~ho~"

It is much larger than the hull of the Silver Moon Dragon, and under its huge shadow, the low visibility of everyone is reduced a lot, and it is extremely narrow.

"What the hell!!"

Nami yelled: "If this continues, there will be a collision accident!! Stop it!!"

Bang~bang~bang~bang~
bang ~ bang ~
squeak~ squeak~ squeak~
After the words fell, Zoro and Sanji jumped up almost at the same time, and kicked fiercely on the dilapidated ghost ship with several feet. The ghost ship also stopped as Nami wished.

What stopped at the same time... and that weird singing voice!
"Good job!"

Nami happily looked towards Zoro and Sanji, but found that the expressions of the two were the same, and they both showed solemn expressions. She couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Zoro, Sanji, what are you two doing?" gone?"

Robin stared intently at the dilapidated ship, and said slowly, "Nami...they should have found something on this ship!"

Chopper: (°д°)
Hearing this, Chopper stiffened his body and did not dare to make any sound. A penetrating chill instantly rushed into his heart, and the unusually cold sea breeze gently caressed his skin along the crevices of his hair, causing his pupils to froze instantly. Losing focus, the color of the beautiful eyeballs gradually faded, and the whites of the eyes almost covered all parts.

"Knock~Knock~"

The teeth collided involuntarily due to panic, and the extra loud and thin voice spread outwards. The civet cat pressed the brim of the hat tightly, and its two short legs uncontrollably stuck to Usopp who was the closest, trying to seek some relief.

However, Usopp's condition is not much better than that of the little civet cat. While the hair is matted, dense goosebumps are crawling all over Usopp's exposed skin. Nothing moved on the deck.

The scene fell into an eerie silence for a while, only the lingering sound of waves crashing against the hull, and the sound of rotten boards falling into the sea from time to time on the ghost ship could be clearly heard.

slap~
After such a short while, Sanji exhaled a foul breath and lit a cigarette, and Zoro beside him stretched his eyebrows, and then said, "It seems that someone is on this ship!"

"cough……"

Sanji was choked by the smoke immediately, and then growled: "Idiot Chlorella, is that calling people? Can it call people?"

"Okay, you two bastards!"

Seeing that the two were about to start the laning mode again, Nami, who had shrunk her body behind Luffy who was still eating, couldn't help complaining: "What did you see up there? Don't quarrel at a time like this. !!"

At this point, Luffy temporarily stopped relying on eating to heal his injuries and relieve internal fatigue, and slowly raised his eyes to look at the dilapidated ghost ship.

If what he expected is correct, this so-called ghost ship carries the skeleton man he originally planned to find first—musician Brooke!
In the original book, it was because of his own shadow cut off by Moonlight Moriah that Brook couldn’t leave this dark sea. Take back the chance to see your own shadow again.

That was the first encounter with the Straw Hat Pirates!

But because Luffy's knowledgeable arrogance is inconvenient to use easily, and he can't confirm whether this ship is Brook's ship under the condition of limited vision. After all, there are indeed many strange things in this sea area. Well, Brooke is indeed a ghost, but ghosts... don't just refer to Brooke.

"Know it at a glance!"

Lu Fei stopped everyone's words, and then slowly stretched out his right hand, pulling the little energy in his body, a dazzling white light gradually gathered on the tip of his right finger.

The light became more and more dazzling, dispelling all the darkness on the Silver Moon Dragon, and then Luffy raised his hand upwards.

brush~
In the twinkling of streamers, it blooms from the sky!

The relatively small light couldn't last long in this huge darkness, and it was swallowed up by the seemingly endless black mist in a short while.

But the fleeting brilliance has already played its due role, allowing Sauron, Sanji, Robin and Nami who have been paying attention to see the true face of the ghost ship.

The so-called ghost ship is full of scars, the remaining canvas is erratic in the black mist with the sea breeze, the mottled exterior paint can't withstand the erosion of the years, and it is corroded by the sea water, but it can still be seen. A once luxurious and spectacular corner.

According to the uneven nails on the surface of the ghost ship, the remnants of the traces of repairs can be vaguely seen, but it seems that the final result is... a failure, and it will never return to the magnificent appearance at the beginning of the long voyage.

Dozens of rusty old-fashioned forts are exposed at the gun slots. It seems that at the last moment of the ship, they were pushed out to start the roar of war, but...

The roar of gunfire and the smoke of flames played the triumphant song of the bloody battle as scheduled, but they failed to usher in the dawn of victory as expected, just like the gloomy night covering everything, completely killing the hope of survival in the black mist.

In the end...but no one could put those turrets back into the hull!

And on the railing of this ghost ship that seems to be telling everything about the past without words, there is a 'thin' figure in the shape of a human.

He was wearing a black tuxedo, with a black and fluffy afro, pale and piercing 'skin color', holding a cane in his left hand and a teacup in his right hand. His slightly opened and closed teeth proved that he was singing loudly just now!

Skeleton, he's a skeleton!
A skeleton man with an afro head and wearing a black tuxedo is exactly—musician Brooke!

Lu Fei's eyes flashed, and then he said slowly: "Zoro, go and invite this 'Mr. Ghost' to come down on the Silver Moon Dragon as a guest!"

"learn!"

Amidst Sauron's calm and light response, Usopp and Chopper, who were less courageous, suddenly exploded.

"What if you provoke ghosts, skeletons, ghosts and the like, and you get cursed!"

"Don't stop, we will be assimilated by ghosts!!"

"Whoa, we will be eaten by ghosts!!"

At this time, Brooke finally recovered from the sudden white light, as if he had just discovered Luffy and the others, he said in surprise:
"Hehehe, there are still outsiders, did they come here by mistake?"

"Hehehe, I'm sorry I seemed to scare you earlier, but if there's nothing wrong, I hope you get out of here quickly!"

……

……

"Hi everyone!! Yohohohoho!!"

"I'm Brooke, who died with nothing but a skeleton left, please take care of me!"

Under the "willingness" of captain Luffy and deputy captain Sauron, the objections of Usopp and Chopper were insignificant after all. Gentlemanly, he introduced himself to everyone.

Then he said: "I haven't met a living person for decades. The ships I met here are all ghost ships. Your sudden appearance is really scary!"

"Although I'm already dead, yo ho ho ho ho ho!"

"Obviously you are more scary, okay!?"

Usopp shouted excitedly: "Chopper, look, he's talking! The Afro is talking!"

"Sure enough, it's a ghost..." Chopper held a cross in his hand at some point, which was given to him by Usopp.

"How could the skeleton move, talk, and have an exploding head?! This is a dream! Yes, this is definitely a dream!!"

Usopp, who was also fully armed, still had a ring of garlic around his neck, and he yelled loudly unacceptably.

"really?"

Qiaoba breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "That's great, it turned out to be a dream!"

"The evil spirits disperse, the evil spirits disperse!!"

"Hehehe~ You're really unfriendly~"

Brook laughed indifferently, and then showed a very gentlemanly smile towards Nami and Robin, and bowed a few steps forward, saying, "Oh my! These two ladies are so beautiful!!"

"..."

Nami and Robin inexplicably smelled Sanji's exclusive attributes, and as expected, they only heard Brook say:

"When I see a beautiful woman, my eyeballs will fall out."

"Of course I'm a skeleton, I don't have eyeballs anymore!! Yohohoho..."

"So can I see your fat times?"

"You are dreaming!!"×2
Nami yelled angrily, and kicked Brook directly on the head, and then saw a few arms growing out of Brook's back...

click ~
There was a sound like a broken bone...

"Yo ho ho ho ho... Ouch, it hurts so much, it hurts to death...Although I am already dead!"

"To shut up!!"

Nami threw her foot directly on Brook's face, and then shouted angrily: "Stop being a hooligan, you pervert!!"

"I didn't expect it to be a lecherous skeleton, and it looks no less than a certain lecherous cook!" Sauron directly connoted someone.

Sanji yelled furiously: "Shut up Chlorella, don't compare me with him, even though I... I'm not that kind of person!"

Usopp immediately seized the opportunity and said to Luffy: "Luffy, Sanji is enough for us to have this kind of color embryo on board, hurry up and drive this skeleton away!!"

Chopper echoed: "That's it!"

Sanji: "..."

"No way~"

"Even if it's just for Rab's sake, right, the survivor of the Rumba Pirates, Brooke!"

Following the words, Luffy slapped a reward order that had expired for many years on the dinner table.

Luffy paused for a moment, and then said: "Brooke, you who have lost your own shadow, do you still remember the only remaining partner of the Rumba Pirates, the whale named Rab!"

Lu Fei's words directly stunned Brook, but he was soon relieved. After all, the deeds of the whale Rab and the Rumba Pirates in Gemini Cape happened 50 years ago. Word of mouth is not uncommon.

The shadow is something that everyone in the devil's delta hopes to regain.

He still laughed heartlessly and said: "Yo ho ho ho ho, you know these ancient things, I was so surprised that my eyeballs almost jumped out, yo ho ho ho ho ho, although I no longer have eyeballs! "

"..."

Luffy suddenly admired Brook a little bit, in this case, he can still be so funny.

But this does not prevent him from telling Rab's current situation: "Rab, because I firmly believe that you will fulfill the agreement you made with it, it has been growing vigorously after you left, and now it has grown larger than the average The islands must be huge, and even the body can hold an ocean."

"However, after waiting endlessly for decades, it has gradually lost its patience. Every day, it frantically uses its body to hit the red earth continent desperately, trying to guide the return of the Rumba Pirates through sound, and wants to return to the world again. Seeing the partners who made an appointment with it, if there is not a doctor who treats it every day, maybe it is already gone."

"It has always believed that you will go back!"

"After sailing the great route...but obviously you missed the appointment!"

"For these years, Rab has been hitting his head on the red earth continent that will never collapse, scarring himself, and making a sad neigh. This whale, which is as huge as an island, just lives a life of repeating sadness every day. Wait for the day."

"I promised Raab I wouldn't let it wait in vain!"

"You should get out of here, Brooke!"

Following Luffy's words, Brook gradually became silent, and long-lasting memories and unbearable memories emerged in his mind.

At the beginning, the Rumba Pirates had great ambitions. When they decided to enter the great route, because they had no time to take care of Rab, who was still a small whale, they could only leave it at Gemini Cape, where they waited for their triumphant return!
[Raab, we can meet again after we circle the great route! 】

[Raab, this is an agreement between us, you must wait for us to come back! 】

I vaguely remember that these were the words they left behind when they left Cape Twins. At that time... Rab stayed in Cape Twins peacefully with longing in his pupils, waiting for them to meet again when they returned.

however……

This is 50 years without a return date!
What it doesn't know is that the Rumba Pirates have already died in battle on the great route decades ago. Such waiting is meaningless and endless!

"Rabb... we missed the appointment..."

"I haven't been able to properly fulfill the agreement I made with you..."
