Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 319 New Partner, Brook the Hummer
After the sad story ended, Brooke stopped playing the piano, as if he was grateful for the sad and happy memories of the past, and was very happy that his story could be told to others.

Frankie, who noticed that the music had stopped, looked in his direction with dissatisfaction, and urged, "What's the matter, Brooke? Keep playing~ It's rare to talk in a good atmosphere!"

"Yes, yes! I still have chopsticks stuck in my nose. Hurry up and continue!" Chopper, who was holding a dustpan, said vaguely, his face with chopsticks stuck looked funny.

"Haha, wait a minute." After laughing, Brooke untied the bandage wrapped around his forehead, then tore open his skull, and took out a pink shell from inside.

"Alas?? Is this such a structure??" Sanji and Usopp's eyes protruded when they saw it.

"Amazing~~~~", Luffy's eyes sparkled with excitement immediately, watching Brook put his skull back and wrap the bandages up.

"This is a sound shell bought from a certain merchant ship," Brooke explained after placing it on the piano, "a rare shell that can preserve sound and play it back."

"Oh, is it something from Sky Island?" Luffy, who had seen these shellfish before, replied.

"You know? This is rare in the ocean," Brooke was a little surprised, but then continued the original topic, looking nostalgicly at the pink shell, and then at the photo on the piano stand, " I want to play it to Rab when I see him, so I always carry it with me, even though I'm a skeleton without a body..."

Usopp looked at the old shell curiously, and asked, "Did you record anything?"

"It's the song, the singing of the dead friends. This is the message to let Rab know that we have ended our happy trip." As he said, Brook looked up at Luffy who was lying on the piano cover, and asked, "Now can I Play it? I didn't expect to see Raab here, although there are only photos, but I want to play a song for him."

"Oh~", Luffy nodded without hesitation, and said with a happy smile, "Rabu will be very happy when he hears~~"

"Then, let's get started..." Brook stretched out his boneless hand and pressed the top of the shell, and a beautiful melody echoed in the room.

Knowing which song the prelude is from, Laura immediately greeted happily: "If you want to sing this song, you can sing it together~~~"

Recognizing what the song was, Robin chuckled and said, "Bingkesi's fine wine, no wonder the melody is so familiar, I miss it so much~~"

"Yes, yes! Let's sing together~~~~~", Usopp shouted loudly, taking the lead in jumping up and down there.Not long after, other pirates joined him, so the happy party turned into a state of demons dancing...

Frankie and Chopper were still bouncing on the original dining table, one was dancing his own dance, and the other was continuing to dance there with a dustpan and chopsticks...

Nami and Laura became very good friends without knowing when, they have been laughing and dancing hand in hand.
Encore, who was sitting in the distance, watched them happily preparing for a chorus, smiled and decided to listen attentively.After all, she has never heard a few of music or something~
"Hahaha~ Encore Encore, let's go dance~~~", Lu Fei, who had an intuition that it would be very lively, ran over excitedly, laughed and grabbed her hand and ran back into the crowd.

"Wait a minute, Luffy." Anke was brought to a trot and followed behind him, so he looked up at someone's head and said, "I can't dance!"

"It's okay, it's okay~~", completely ignoring the helplessness on the face of the deputy captain, a certain straw hat foodie pulled her over and began to stretch her hands to pull her around.

"Oh~~What a cute little girl~~", the pirates who started howling wolves surrounded her.

"Go away! How dare you harass the cutie?!" The cook who took the initiative to protect the flowers drove them away in a second, clearing a place for his captain and deputy captain.Then he immediately spun towards the two beauties with love, "Miss Nami, Miss Robin~~Let's dance together~~~~"

"Hahaha, dance, dance~~~", but the crazy people didn't care about this little episode, and all kinds of weird dances were staged in turn.

After the cheerful melody of the piano, the excited pirates began to sing. There are all kinds of rough and out-of-tune songs, but they are all very pleasant together:
'Hooooooh~~~yoohooohoo~~~~
yo ho ho ho ho ~~~ yo ho ho ho ho ho ~~~~
?The fine wine of Binkesi, delivered to your side, ride the wind and waves and let me swim,
?The tide is raging, and the setting sun is moving~~
?The singing of birds pierces the sky~~
?Farewell to the port, unforgettable nostalgia, singing a song to express feelings~~
?The waves are surging, the spray is splashing,
?A majestic man, crossing the ends of the earth~~
?The fine wine from Binkesi will be delivered to your side~~~
?Above the ocean, I wait for the pirates to dominate~~~
?The waves are like pillows, warships are nests, and skull flags flutter in the wind~~
?Thousands of miles in the sky, the wind thunders, the waves dance, and the war drums rumble~~
?Tomorrow when the rain passes and the clouds clear~~
?Hooooooh~~~yoohoooooh~~~~
?yohooooo~~~
?The fine wine of Binkesi will be delivered to your side, and you will find it in your dreams last night and tonight~~
?The person who sees you off gradually leaves, and we will meet again on the night of the full moon~~~
?The fine wine of Binkesi, delivered to your side, sing loudly, the song of the sea~~
?Life is short, the world is unpredictable, there is wine tonight and drunk tonight~~~
?Hooooooh~~~yoohoooooh~~~~
?Yo ho ho ho ~~~ Yo ho ho ho ho ho ~~~~??
The sound from the shell was not very obvious in everyone's harmony, but the sound of heavy objects falling could be faintly heard.The ensemble eventually became a trio, a duet, and a solo.In the end, the only sound left was the real Brook playing the piano.

The piano performance was still going on, and there was laughter in the hall, "Hahahahaha~~~",
While playing, Brook said to his partner who was still waiting in the distance in his heart: "Rabb, if you have been waiting there for 50 years, can you endure another year or two? I also have the will of a pirate. For you who are waiting on the mountain wall, I will keep my promise and meet you again from the front!!"

It vaguely ended in a few jumping notes, and a few people in the distance kept shouting, and then saw that they seemed to have something to say, so they started chatting with each other.

Brook picked up the sound shell and said softly: "This song that I sang with my friends with all my life, the last chorus of the Rumba Pirates. I have been wandering alone in this dark sea of ​​fog for 50 years. I don't know How many times have I listened to it... Alone on this big ship, only this song can make me feel a life other than myself, but today I have a new decision in my heart. I want to seal this sound shell .”

Hearing the solemnity in his words, Usopp nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Seal~~seal~~~~", before it was too late, Brook tore off the bandage on his forehead, broke off the skull and threw it directly into the skull.

"Oh??? Is that the structure??" Sanji and Usopp immediately stared dumbfounded at him as he wrapped the bandage on his head calmly (although there was only one bone).

"Hahahaha~~~", seeing this, Luffy laughed out loud, as expected, this skeleton is so interesting~~
Anke on the side just stared at the bone in silence, expressing that he was super curious about where the things he ate just now went.But when he was in a daze, someone hugged himself to sit on the piano, and that person also lay down on the side and continued to listen to the song.

"Knowing that Rab is waiting in good health, the shadow has also returned and escaped from the Devil's Sea. The songs of everyone stored in this sound shell are no longer the songs that I miss the past alone. This is for The song for Rab, waiting day after day, hoping for nothing..." Brook paused while he was playing, lowered his head and hesitated, and said, "But, Mr. Lu Fei ..."

"Huh?" Luffy looked at him suspiciously, and then stretched out his paws to rest on the person beside him.

"I...I...", after choking for a long time, Brook suddenly raised his head and cried with tears in his eyes: "It's great that I can live!!"

Brooke didn't know how many times he cried, and the hall became quiet again, but everyone still smiled kindly.

After howling for a few seconds, Brook suddenly calmed down, looked at Luffy above and said, "Can I be your partner?"

"Yes." Luffy replied with a smile without hesitation.

"Well ??? Enter so easily ???", Sanji, Usopp, Choba, and Frank are startled by this incredible speed, but then they all rushed up and carried them, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it, carrying it. Picking up Brooke, he tossed it up, laughing and welcoming as he tossed it back,

"But welcome, long live the musician~~~", Usopp

"Musician, dead musician with only bones left~~ long-awaited musician~~", Luffy ran up to join in the fun

"What a light musician~~", Chopper
"Your light body is also a bit~~", Usopp jumped up to catch him, and then threw it away.

"Yes, I only have bones~~~", Brooke, who was thrown up, still did not forget to pose, and put his bones and ten fingers in front of him like flowers.

"Hahahaha~~~ so interesting, so interesting~~~", Luffy laughed so hard that tears almost fell down, and kept clapping his hands.

Anke just shrugged and let them make trouble, yawned and jumped off the piano, intending to walk back to Sauron.

Over there, a bunch of people who made a fuss again were laughing and laughing around the skeleton. The lively atmosphere made Brook, who hadn't seen anyone for 50 years, go crazy.

"45 degrees~~~", the light and thin skeleton fell straight to the wall, forming an equilateral triangle between the body and the wall, exactly 45 degrees.

"Hahahahaha!!! What is that!!!", the audience around was amused to laugh again, applause and laughter continued.

Going back to the edge of the bed, Anke smiled and looked at them for a while, then tilted his head to look at the person who was still motionless, and couldn't help but sighed, "When will you wake up, Sauron..."

After a few minutes
At the request of Brooke, it was decided to hold a simple joining ceremony, although it was just for him to talk to the waking Straw Hat Pirates.

Kneeling on one knee, Brook took out an old reward order and placed it on the floor in front of him, and said in a serious tone, "Let me introduce it again!"

"Reward order? Are you a reward criminal?" Sanji looked at the reward order on the ground with a little surprise.

"I'm sorry for the lateness! I am Brooke, who only has bones left after death! I am wanted! Commonly known as Brooke the Hummer, the reward order is 3300 million Baileys. I used to be the head of the guard group in a certain kingdom, Afterwards, I acted as the agent of the captain of the Rumba Pirates, a musician and a swordsman. I will entrust my life to Captain Straw Hat Luffy from today! In order not to drag everyone down, I will work hard with all my strength!!!!"

Seeing the newly joined partners, everyone just smiled.I just don’t know why, but Enke’s smile, which was originally very happy, became more and more twitching. After looking at the large string of zeros on Brook’s reward order, and then looking at his height, his face turned black decisively.

Because of a certain skeleton plus that explosive head, the height exceeds [-] meters. [-] meters.
'3800 million Baileys...', Anke silently thought about his pitiful little bounty, then compared the long list of numbers of the newly joined partner, and then thought about his height, his face became even more serious. Worse……

Sure enough, her height and bounty order will always be the second last among the Straw Hat Pirates! !And because of the existence of the reindeer that can only change in seven stages, her originally short height occasionally becomes the last one...
