Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

On Upside Down Mountain, next to the lighthouse in Twin Gorge, an old man was lying on a chair and reading a newspaper leisurely.

It was Crocus, the ship doctor of One Piece, who had once met the Straw Hat Pirates.

"It seems like there are fewer and fewer pirates going out to sea recently."

This is the only entrance to the first half of the Grand Line.

In the past, on average, there would be pirate ships passing through here every day to enter the Grand Line.

This is the great pirate era opened by Roger.

But now it seems that this so-called Great Pirate Era has come to an end?

"Those Straw Hat guys really did an amazing thing."

Kurokas shook his head and sighed.

Just then, a huge monster suddenly came to his side.

It also made a sound similar to that of a child but extremely deafening.

"Okay, okay, I get it, Lab."

Hearing Rab's anxious voice, Kurokas quickly waved his hands to indicate that he understood.

Then he took out a bounty from his pocket.

The bounty poster shows a skull with an afro.

"I've seen it so many times, but you're not tired of it yet?"

The moment he saw the bounty order, Lab's huge tail slapped the sea, creating a huge wave of nearly ten meters.

Even though he has seen it many times, Lab still gets equally excited every time he sees a bounty.

"Don't worry, Lab, the newspaper has already said that he is Brook from the Rumba Pirates."

"He will definitely remember you. They must have encountered something before, so they didn't come to find you."

"Don't worry, Brook has joined the Straw Hat Pirates. Once they have circled the Grand Line, they will come back to find you."

"Of course it's true, and I have a feeling old man, you'll be seeing Brooke soon."

After being with Rab for so long, Kurokas has already been able to understand Rab's emotions.

In his eyes, the guy in front of him who has grown into a giant is still the little kid he was back then.

After hearing what Kurokas said, Lab felt a little relieved and hoped to see Brook earlier.

It would be best if you could see it now.

However, the next moment, Kurokas and Lab turned their heads at the same time and looked at a place not far away.

There, an air door was slowly opening.

And from the other side of the door, a laugh that sounded familiar to both of them was heard.

"Yohoho! Have we finally reached the Twin Gorges? I'm really looking forward to meeting Mr. Lab and Mr. Crocus. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat faster."

"Ah, even though I'm a skeleton and don't have a heart, yohohoho~"

Along with this classic witticism, Brook, dressed in a handsome suit and top hat, holding a cane and carrying a violin on his back, walked out from the other side of the air door.

And at the first moment, he saw two people not far away.

Time seems to have stopped at this moment!

But it exploded the next moment!

Rab!!!

Ah~! ! !

Brooke and Rab both cried out in surprise.

Then, the two rushed towards each other.

Labu swam with the momentum of hitting the Upside-Down Mountain, swinging his giant tail and creating huge waves.

Brooke held his top hat and ran quickly on the sea, creating countless small waves.

Finally, Brooke hit Lab hard on the head.

And there, was the pirate flag that Luffy had drawn.

The next second, the skeleton and the whale burst into tears.

This agreement, which spanned decades and neither side gave up, ultimately came to an end.

Although the agreement was fulfilled, only Brook was left.

the other side.

"Mr. Kulokas, long time no see. He is Merry, whom you have met before."

"But at that time, he still looked like a ship."

Bai Ye came to Kurokas and introduced Meli while greeting him.

Bai Ye had said before that he wanted to take Brook to meet an old friend, namely Lab.

Even though the original agreement between Brook and Laboon was to sail around the Grand Line, for Laboon and Brook now, being able to meet each other is probably the greatest happiness.

The reason why I came so late is because the distance is too far.

Even with the blessing of the spiritual energy from the Bai Ye Taoist Collection, the three of them opened the door dozens of times and it took several days to get here.

"Oh? The ship spirit that ate the devil fruit?"

Even without Bai Ye's introduction, Kurokas recognized Meli at a glance.

After all, he had sailed with Roger in the past, and had never seen such a magical creature.

Then, Kurokas looked at Bai Ye and said, "Boy Bai Ye, you and your companions have done an amazing thing."

"Without reaching the final island prepared by Roger, the world has become what it is now."

"If Roger's pirate group was still there, Rayleigh and the others would definitely make fun of Roger."

Crocus' tone was full of teasing towards Roger, but also full of admiration for the Straw Hat Pirates.

Even if he once approved of Roger's choice, he had to admit that the current situation was obviously better.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Kurokas. I came here this time because I have something to ask of you, Senior."

"Is it for that little ship doctor of yours?"

"Yes, if I may."

"No problem," Kulokas turned and walked into the house. After a while, he came out with a thick stack of notes. "This is my medical experience and knowledge over the years. I'm giving it to that little reindeer."

"Speaking of which, I have a good relationship with his master, so there's no need to be polite."

"Come, have some food and drinks with the old man."

After hearing what Kurokas said, Bai Ye didn't say anything more.

At this moment, Brooke and Rab slowly stopped crying.

Lab was spinning wildly on the sea with Brook on his back, looking very happy.

He kept making noises from his mouth, as if he was saying something.

"Yo ho ho, how could we forget you, Lab!"

Brook laughed and stroked Lab's little head: "You have always been a member of our Rumba Pirates."

Lab listened to Brooke's words, felt the touch on his head, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

It was as if I was back in the days when I was traveling with the Rumbar Pirates.

Thinking of this, Lab opened his eyes again and let out a more excited and eager cry.

"Yohoho! You haven't changed at all, Lab."

When he heard the first word, Brooke understood what Lab meant.

He reached down behind his back, took the violin, and clamped it between his bones.
