133: Chapter 132 Brooksea Travels, the once-retired "Binx's Wine"As the saying goes, there is nothing that cannot be solved at the dinner table.So at this moment, Brook and the Straw Hat Pirates were already sitting in the luxurious restaurant of the Sunny Merry.
Brooke couldn't help but exclaim when he saw such a luxurious restaurant:
"Wow, this restaurant is truly luxurious!It's sure to be a unique banquet venue!"
When Mary heard this, she straightened her back proudly.
Luffy's leisure time:
"It's time for the party!But there are still two crew members—Usopp and Franky—still undergoing modification work at the [Mechanical Workshop].You'll see them later, Brook!"
Brooke accepted this with pleasure.
Sanji also presented a table of delicious food:
"Brook, try it!It's been a while since you've had something truly delicious!"
Brooke was delighted:
"Wow, thank you so much, Mr.Chef!I haven't tasted delicious food in decades!"
Luffy clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, let's eat!But before that, let me introduce myself!Brook, I'm Luffy, the captain of the [Sunny Merry], and also the captain of the [Straw Hat Adventure Group]!My full name is Monkey D.Luffy!"
Zoro raised his hand and said, "Roronoa Zoro is a swordsman."
"I, I, I!Sorry for calling you a skeleton before.I'm Nami!I'm the navigator here!"
Nami introduced herself cheerfully.
Sanji nodded in agreement, "Cook and combatant, Sanji."
"Combatant, Ajin." Ajin bowed and introduced.
Chopper took a sip of milk and said:
"Aha!Chopper, it's a doctor.Full name Tony Tony Chopper."
Robin chuckled and said, "Nicole Robin, just call me Robin.I'm a historian."
Weiwei sat upright and said:
"I'm Vivi, just call me Vivi!My full name is Nefertari Vivi."
Luffy introduced:
"The other two are Sniper Usopp and Cyborg Franky.Let them introduce themselves later!"
Brooke was a little excited to see so many of his companions were willing to accept him:
"Yo hoo hoo hoo hoo, that's so rude of me!It really makes me cry, but I don't have eyes and only bones left, so I can't cry, yo hoo hoo hoo.
I'm Brook.As I said, I'm a user of the [Metahuman Yomizu Fruit].I died in an accident, and my soul has been wandering around for a long time since leaving my body.As a result, when I returned to my body after activating the Yomizu Fruit, only bones remained!
Sanji raised his eyebrows and said:
"What a magical fruit ability!I've seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia before, but it doesn't explain this Yomizu Fruit in detail."
Luffy explained:
"The user of the Yomizu Fruit is immortal.This is one of the few Devil Fruits that is rarely passed down.The Yomizu Fruit only works after death, making the eater immortal.Because this fruit can only return the soul to the body after death, the user can become immortal and their soul can leave the body."
"This fruit's capabilities are yet to be fully explored, but what I do know is that the Yomizu Fruit may even have a certain degree of suppressive power over the Soul Fruit of the Four Emperors (Big Mom).To some extent, the Yomizu Fruit can even be said to be superior to the Soul Fruit."
Zoro's eyes widened when he heard this:
"To think there's such a magical and bizarre fruit ability!This fruit definitely has more than just the effect of turning the eater into a landlubber.Its full function can only be fully revealed after the user is resurrected!"
Brook looked at Luffy in great surprise:
"Yohoo, Luffy-san is truly knowledgeable!That's right!It's a shame I've never been able to discover the true power of the Yomi Nomi Fruit!"
Luffy couldn't help but think: Even in the later stages of the original story, Brook's Yomiuri Fruit never awakened, and was only developed to a certain extent.Now, this can't be the case!
Weiwei asked aloud:
"Mr.Brook, how on earth did you end up like this?"
Brooke recalled:
"Yohohohohohoho, that's a long story!It's like this."
"Fifty-two years ago, at the age of 38, I set out from the West Sea.I abandoned my stable life as captain of the Kingdom Guard and embarked on an adventure around the world with the Rumbar Pirates."
"[Let even crying children smile], we have never been serious pirates.Our passion for music and sailing brings us together, and we sing with tenderness for the world."
"Actually, the song 'Binx's Wine' that everyone knows is Captain Yuki's favorite.And it has become the representative song of the 'Rumba Pirates'."
"Because of the distance, there is an unknown; because of the unknown, there is anticipation.In my eyes, every seemingly ordinary day we spend together is a miracle happening!"
"Even if we encounter an island whale that has unexpectedly strayed from its pod, the power of music is enough to convey our thoughts and feelings.We use our optimistic and positive emotions to soothe the island whale's panicked heart."
"And it was because of that performance that the Rumbar Pirates and that young whale formed an indissoluble bond."
"Following the melodious music, the calf found us again a few days later and followed us until dusk, unwilling to leave."
"After everyone got to know the baby whale, they named it [Labo]."
The Straw Hat Pirates were immersed in Brook's story, and were startled when they heard a familiar name.Sanji asked:
"Labu?Is that the whale Labu from Twin Capes?"
Brook was suddenly interrupted, but he also explained:
"Um, yeah…wait, you've seen it?Is it okay?"
"No!It turns out itThe person it has been waiting for is you!It has been looking forward to meeting you again!"
Nami said unhappily.
Brook scratched his head awkwardly:
"Uh.there's a reason for this!"
Luffy chuckled:
"That's why Lab was willing to listen to us when I mentioned Brooke at Twin Capes!"
Brook continued to narrate helplessly:
"In the days that followed, we gradually got used to its presence.Because of my whale-like afro, I became the person closest to Rab."
"My companions always tease me with envy: Only Brook and Lab will never admit their mistakes!"
"We laughed together with Rab, fought together, and reveled in the beauty of music together."
"Until the ship crossed countless storms from the West Sea and finally arrived at the starting point of the Grand Route."
"Having come this far, we and Lab have reached the point where we must part ways.We are far from being strong, and we simply don't have the confidence to protect Lab on the perilous Grand Line."
"At that time, the crew members all looked reluctant, but as the captain, Youqi had to remain rational."
"After I failed to persuade Rab, Yuchi had everyone deliberately ignore Rab to sever their ties.No one wanted Rab to be in danger."
"But even though I valued our promise and friendship above all else, I was still tormented by the cries of the baby whale."
"But I also know that this is indeed the case.Just as Yuqi said, the road ahead is bumpy and full of difficulties and obstacles, but each one is the best outcome."
"But when the ship sailed away, I looked back and still shed tears."
"You didn't even say a proper goodbye!How could we do that?This is definitely not the way pirates should behave."
"With a hint of regret, we, the Rumbar Pirates, are attacking Upside-Down Mountain under the guidance of the lighthouse."
"[To reach the greatest seas], [to complete the feat of sailing around the world], this is our ambition as pirates."
"On the other side of Upside Down Mountain, we met the lighthouse keeper, Kurokas.It was thanks to his reminder that we were surprised to find that the clever Lab had also followed us."
"When I unfortunately fell into the water, Lab quickly rescued me.I touched the wounded Lab beneath me, and while I felt heartache, I couldn't hide my surprise."
"The equally happy captain asked everyone to play the pirate song once again - Binx's wine."
"That's also Rab's favorite song.Here's to it—Binx's fine wine."
"Even if [the waves are rough and the foam is splashing], a man of honor should travel the world, [riding the wind and waves and letting me swim]."
"While the ship was being repaired, I tried to make Lab understand the horrors of the Grand Line."
"But how could a naive island whale possibly understand everything?At Yuchi's suggestion, we made an agreement with Lab to reunite at Twin Capes."
"[Such a day won't be far off!]" That's what we initially believed.Full of ambition, we figured circumnavigating the Grand Line would take two or three years at most.
"By then, we'll have someone who can handle Lab's strength.The weather was beautiful that day, and we waved goodbye to Lab and Kulokas.I cried again in the crowd, as I always do with my emotional nature."
"I would laugh at my friends' playfulness, but I would also miss Lab and look up at the stars with sadness."
"Since leaving Twin Capes, our journey has been quite smooth.As we repeatedly escape the navy's pursuit, our reputation has grown."
"But soon after, disaster struck.Yuki and more than a dozen crew members were infected with an unknown plague from the primitive island."
"Yuki has to bid a sad farewell to his crew.They will remain with the old ship, and I will serve as acting captain, leading the remaining crew on the journey."
"Parting is always painful.The haggard Captain Yuchi was still calm.But after everyone left, he held my hand tightly, his eyes blurred with tears, and he no longer had the dignity of a captain."
"[Really.I'm so unwilling to accept this], the pain of his shattered dreams made Captain Yuchi wish he could die immediately.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I swore to bear this unwillingness."
"Even if our ships separate, we will still be together again alive!This is our promise."
"I think the news of the Rumbar Pirates quickly spread back to Gemini Cape.Even just a few months of getting along couldn't convince Crocus of the importance pirates place on their promises."
"Stubborn Lab would never have believed it, because it had always believed that we would be reunited with it!"
"After we lost our captain and a large number of experts, the pirate group, which existed in name only, barely made it to the Devil's Triangle."
"Here, we suffered a more terrible and complete destruction than during our [Escape]."
"All I saw were my companions on the verge of death.Seriously injured, I whispered to those who were still alive."
"But the enemy's weapons are coated with poison, and the ship's doctor is dead.We are doomed to perish here."
"When we became pirates, we were prepared to die at any time, but before we go to the underworld, everyone has an unfulfilled wish."
"My companions have placed all their hopes on me - if the Yomiuri Fruit can truly bring me back to life, I can fulfill the promise I made to Lab on their behalf."
"But at that time, I didn't know what effect that devil fruit, which had never been used, would have."
"I just struggled to get up and encouraged everyone to play the ensemble one last time.Even if the future is destruction, we must face it with a smile."
"I carry a sound shell I bought from a merchant ship.'If I can be resurrected, I will definitely convey everyone's voices to Yuki, Lab and the others.'" I said.
"But what song is better than the one that everyone likes,Is "The Wine of Cox" more suitable for the curtain call?
"This is the last beautiful thing we can leave behind.Refusing to die, everyone is racing against death amidst the music, mocking the god of death's incompetence."
"We are born in the sea and we shall die in the sea.As countless people fall, countless more are about to set sail.Only the dream of freedom is passed down from generation to generation."
"Through this ancient pirate song, all the joy is passed on.A lively ensemble, and in the end, only I am left playing the lonely piano."
"The piano sound rises and falls quietly, and then everything returns to silence."
Brooke hummed "Binks' Wine" and everyone couldn't calm down for a long time.
