Chapter 135 Brooke
Chapter 135 Brooke
Although because of Brooke's arrogance, Profik cleaned him up. However, this was not a big deal originally. Matifa herself was not very angry.
Therefore, Profic did not do anything to Brooke. On the contrary, he enthusiastically invited Brooke to be a guest on the ship.
Brooke naturally agreed happily. After all, he had been drifting in the Magic Triangle area for too long, and he was very excited to finally see a living person. At the same time, he also had the idea of taking the Bifur and leaving this area.
Thinking that Brooke might not have had a good meal in a long time, Profic took him to the Beaver's dining room and asked Fuentes to prepare some food for him.
At this time, what was placed in front of Brooke were several dishes from the town of Zamblon that Fuentes had learned. Although he has just learned it for a short time, Fuentes's craftsmanship is still very trustworthy. The taste and color of the dishes he makes are not much different from the original ones.
Brooke, who had not eaten such delicious food for a long time, seemed very moved. He tasted the food on the table happily: "Ah! Your cooking skills are really good. I haven't eaten such delicious food in decades." It’s so delicious that I want to swallow it with my tongue, ah, even though I don’t have a tongue anymore, yohohoho~”
"How many, how many, decades!" Danjuma jumped up in shock, "How many decades have you been trapped here?"
Others were not too surprised. They had all heard the story of the Lombard Pirates told by Kurokas and Plofic, so they knew that the Lombard Pirates were completely annihilated on the Grand Line more than thirty years ago. .
Only Profik smiled slightly. It seemed that Brooke's personality at this time was roughly the same as when he met Luffy more than ten years later.
"Yes," Brooke sighed while swallowing the food. "I never thought that I would be trapped in this fog for so long, but it's no wonder. After all, only one person can't sail the boat and can only drift. Woolen cloth!"
"Is this the price of your resurrection?" Morana thought Brooke looked very strange. She had been thinking before that Brooke had lost all his organs, so where would the food he ate go? But even after careful observation, nothing was found.
She could only think that this was the effect of the underworld fruit's ability. After all, resurrection is so unbelievable that even if it means turning your whole body into bones, it seems reasonable.
"Ah! The lady wearing a veil!" Brooke seemed to realize that Morana was also a girl at this moment, and then he immediately returned to his old ways, "Can you please let me see your..."
Before Brooke could finish speaking, Morana's arms and legs had quietly wrapped around his neck.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Brooke gave up the unrealistic thoughts very sincerely and began to explain his situation.
"It's not what you guessed. The price of the devil fruit is just not being able to swim. The reason why I became like this is because after my soul returned from the underworld, I got lost in this sea and spent a whole year. It took me a long time to find my body, and by that time, all that was left of my body was bones."
Morana didn't make things too difficult for Brooke. Instead, he praised Brooke's magical ability: "You can resurrect with only the bones left, and you can even eat and drink normally. The ability of the devil fruit is really incredible."
"Ho ho ho ho, it doesn't matter. At least I still have a chance to survive and realize my dreams on behalf of my deceased friends." Brooke did not feel distressed by his body. On the contrary, he was very optimistic, "And, one day We must complete...a certain agreement!"
When Brooke said this, no one except Danjuma was surprised. They had all heard Kurokas tell the story of Rab and Brooke. Since Rab is still waiting for the return of the Lombard Pirates, it is only natural that the survivors of the Lombard Pirates continue to stick to their agreement.
"Is it Rab?"
"You...have you met Rab?" Hearing Profik say the name Rab, Brooke's eyes burst into tears. He almost trembled and asked, "Rabu, are you okay?"
Profik said easily: "It's not bad. It has been waiting for you at the entrance of the Grand Route. Now it has grown into a big whale. By the way, Mr. Koulokas is still there, too." It was he who took care of the cloth.”
Hearing what Profic said, Brooke knelt down heavily on the ground and requested very solemnly: "We, the Lumba Pirates, once made an agreement with Labu, and we will meet again when we circle the world! Although the Lumba Pirates have been destroyed, I will never break the oath I made back then!”
"Please allow me to join you in completing a journey around the Grand Route, fulfilling the agreement with my companions, and meeting again under the Twin Capes!"
"Hey!" The sudden request left everyone at a loss.
Only Profik remained calm, and Brooke's request was basically expected by him. After all, he couldn't escape from this strange water by his own strength. However, what surprised him was that Brooke still wanted to complete the Grand Line expedition.
"You can join us temporarily," Profik did not refuse Brook's request. Profik had a very good impression of this important character in the original work. Partners whose strength and character are trustworthy are indeed worthy of their acceptance.
"However, there are some things that need to be made clear." Profic helped Brooke up and asked him to find a chair and sit down. "I'm afraid you can't continue to use the title of 'Rumba Pirates'."
"That's natural!" Brooke didn't hesitate. He was very satisfied to continue taking risks and fulfill his original agreement. Of course the Lombard Pirates and his previous companions were important, but as long as he could finally return to Twin Capes, "being inferior to others" was no big deal.
What's more, in Brooke's view, if others help him, they must repay him. He believes that his musical level and strength are not bad, and he will definitely be able to help in the new team.
Profik didn't know what Brooke was thinking. In fact, he made this request simply because if Brooke continued to adopt the identity of the Lumba Pirates, it might cause some problems. Let him become a member of Daybreak directly in name, so that he can be protected by the privilege of the King's Shichibukai.
"In addition, our sailing may not be that fast, and we may not be able to circumnavigate the Grand Line in the end." Profik continued, "When we leave Mariejoia,"
"Is it still too late to quit now?" Although Brooke is an antique from the previous era, he also knows that for pirates, Mary Joa can be described as a "dragon pool and tiger's den". "When I think of that place, my heart becomes nervous. My heart is pounding, even though I have no heart!"
"Stop telling this bad joke," Profic interrupted Brooke, "We are the 'Shichibukai' under the World Government, a legal big pirate, and we are going to Mariejoia for a meeting. You should also come with us, so that you can get rid of your identity as a bounty prisoner!"
Shichibukai? Legal big pirate?
Brooke was stunned by what Profik said, when will pirates be legal?
After finally explaining to Brooke what was going on in the Shichibukai, this old pirate who had been "out of touch with the times" for decades lamented the changes in the times.
"I really didn't expect that the World Government would actually join forces with the pirates now..."
