Chapter 111

Well,

just a moment ago she called him "Di," and now it’s "Di-chan"?

Lord Lord Sima Di didn't mind, and materialized "Telepathy" to transmit the "Golden Buddha Indestructible Body" technique to Facing Facing Nami.

Everyone also gathered around in anticipation.

Is it really feasible?

Crocus was also very curious; primary Armament Haki projection?

This kid...

really dares to think!

4800+ words! There will be another chapter later!.

42. Finally seeing Brook! Can I see your panties?

Can the "Golden Buddha Indestructible Body" allow Facing Facing Nami, who has primary Haki, to achieve Haki projection?

This wasn't a simple breakthrough, but a revolution in attack methods!

So everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for Facing Facing Nami to digest the technique knowledge.

As a result, when Facing Facing Nami opened her eyes,

she saw eyes of all sizes, scaring her into activating her elemental form immediately!

"What are you doing? You'll scare people to death!" Facing Facing Nami said angrily.

No one cared about these details.

"How is it? Can you condense Haki lightning?" Crocus asked.

Speaking of this, Facing Facing Nami was immediately excited again!

"I'll try!"

She opened her hand and condensed a bolt of black lightning; although the process was slow and took over ten seconds, being able to perform it upon first attempt was already a sign of extraordinary talent.

Then...

Facing Facing Nami raised her hand and struck at Luffy!

Luffy was immune to the power of lightning, so if she failed, it wouldn't hurt him.

Just see...

The green halo under everyone’s feet flashed, and everyone felt a "muffled punch" in their chests.

"Yeah—success! Hahaha—" Facing Facing Nami was ecstatic.

Crocus also stared at Lord Lord Sima Di with the eyes of someone looking at a monster; it actually worked?

The monstrous level of this kid was really refreshing his worldview every time!

The others were also quite pleasantly surprised; after all, with Lord Lord Sima Di’s monstrous talent, they would also be beneficiaries in the future.

Only Usopp, rubbing his reddened chest, looked at Chopper, who had been prepared and used Armament Haki—the Super God Water had allowed him to awaken primary Armament Haki.

"Why is it always me who gets hurt!" Usopp complained.

Seeing that the partners on the ship had all awakened Haki, even with the petrification beam, he was still a bit panicked.

There was a sense of crisis that he was about to be left behind...

This had made his mood somewhat negative recently.

"Eh? What’s that big patch of black fog ahead, what’s going on?" Chopper suddenly said.

Everyone looked over,

and saw that the front was completely shrouded in black fog, with no end in sight.

Going around it was obviously unrealistic.

"This is intelligence that Granny Kokoro specifically told me about." Facing Facing Nami smiled eerily: "Before going to the next stop, Fish-Man Island, we will pass through a terrifying Devil’s Triangle, where countless ships are buried; it’s a netherworld woven from vengeful spirits~"

Chopper: ?っQ?;)っ

Laboon: ?っQ?;)っ

Usopp: ?っQ?;)っ

Good heavens!

Facing Facing Nami’s "ghost story" scared the three of them until they were shivering.

The others didn't believe this stuff at all.

Kureha even asked Crocus: "Crocus-senpai, when you first came to this sea area, was there this black fog?"

"Who knows." Crocus said calmly: "Perhaps... there really are ghosts?"

Now even Facing Facing Nami’s expression became tense!

Could it be...

that there really are?

Just at this moment,

the Going Merry sailed into the black fog, and the previously sunny deck instantly turned into a horror scene; the darkness multiplied the power of the "ghost story" from just a moment ago!

Only Lord Lord Sima Di’s Observation Haki discovered the upturned corner of Crocus’s mouth.

Didn't expect this old man to have such a nasty sense of humor?

But speaking of Granny Kokoro...

Her "Mermaid Entering the Sea" must be a classic scene, but he had never thought about checking in for that reward.

Just thinking about it made his eyes burn!

He’d rather not have that classic scene reward.

Shaking his head,

he threw the strange images out of his mind; this stuff was bad luck.

"What’s wrong? Are you scared too?" Robin teased.

Lord Lord Sima Di was just about to reply...

"Yohohoho—"

A sharp and long eerie laughter came, and against the backdrop of this black fog, it sounded like the horn of a ghost attack, scaring most people until their limbs stiffened!

"Wh... what?"

"There wouldn't really be ghosts, would there?"

"I don't want to die here!"

Lord Lord Sima Di, however, looked into the black fog with bright eyes, full of radiance!

Brook, you’re finally coming!

Just see a dilapidated "ghost ship" about the same size as the Going Merry emerge from the black fog, silently brushing past the Going Merry. Everyone could clearly see an afro-wearing skeleton in a tuxedo standing on the edge of the "ghost ship," its hollow skull eyes staring at them as if they had eyeballs.

Suddenly!

The skeleton opened its mouth and let out a string of "Yohohoho—", scaring Chopper’s fur until it stood on end!

"Hey hey hey! Full speed ahead, Merry! Escape this skeleton!" Usopp was somewhat incoherent.

Laboon, who had also been shivering, suddenly froze as if fixed in place, staring dead at the skeleton’s afro!

This hairstyle...

This tuxedo...

And this ship...

"Finally found you!" Crocus said pleasantly: "Laboon! Let's go!"

Crocus grabbed Laboon and leaped up, charging straight toward the "ghost ship" opposite.

Lord Lord Sima Di also soared into the sky; this touching reunion scene couldn't be missed.

"Eh? Wait for me!" Luffy followed closely behind.

"I want to go see too." Franky activated his energy thrusters.

"Interesting, take me with you." Robin spread her angel wings.

Most of the Straw Hat Pirates showed great interest in this "ghost ship" and Crocus, who had suddenly revealed a bit of his strength.

Even...

they vaguely guessed something!

In a few blinks,

only Facing Facing Nami, Chopper, and Usopp were left on the deck, shivering as they watched the "ghost ship" drift into the darkness from beside the Going Merry.

"Wh... what do we do?" Usopp asked.

"I’m definitely not going!" Chopper refused.

"But the main force is all over there..." Facing Facing Nami reminded.

The three were silent for a few seconds,

and Facing Facing Nami was the first to turn into lightning, shooting toward the "ghost ship" that was about to disappear.

What could the remaining Chopper and Usopp do?

"Wait for me!"

The two hurriedly took out their Mk-5s, suited up, and followed.

Landing on the deck with trepidation,

they saw the Straw Hat Pirates all standing on the edge of the ship, while in the middle of the deck, that afro-wearing skeleton stood there leaning on a cane, and Laboon and Crocus were staring at him with intense emotions.

"Yohohoho—you two give me a very familiar feeling at first glance, but staring at me like this, I’ll still blush." The afro-wearing skeleton waved his hand: "Although as a skeleton, I have no skin! Yohohoho—"

This cold skeleton joke was definitely Brook, no doubt about it.

Crocus also finally confirmed his guess from this familiar, off-beat voice.

"Didn't expect... you guys have been buried in this Devil’s Triangle all along, and we just missed each other like this... It was my judgment that was wrong." Crocus looked at Lord Lord Sima Di.

If it weren't for this kid convincing him...

The promise between Laboon and the Rumbar Pirates might never have been fulfilled in this lifetime.

"Yohohoho—you... who are you?" Brook suddenly said sternly.

He seemed to have guessed something too!

"Did you guess it?" Crocus said in a deep voice: "You’re Brook, right? This iconic afro, I’m Crocus!"

Brook: ?っQ?;)っ

Straw Hat Pirates: "Eh?"

Everyone knew about "Laboon’s promise."

But they never expected that they would meet in such a situation!

After the initial shock, Brook was actually in tears.

"Crocus... if you’re here, then Laboon... it... it..."

Obviously, he had misunderstood something.

Crocus didn't explain much, but looked at Laboon.

The person you’ve been thinking about for 50 years is right in front of you, why are you afraid to speak?

Laboon was indeed very nervous.

And very hesitant.

She looked at Brook, who had turned into a skeleton; although that iconic afro couldn't be wrong, but...

Could this be a dream?

If it were a dream, she wouldn't want to wake up.

Just like the feeling of returning home, Laboon was now a bit afraid.

"This beautiful young lady, please don't be afraid, I don't eat people." Brook adjusted his bowtie like a gentleman and bowed: "May I... may I see your panties?"

Oh my!

It appeared!!!

Brook’s classic perverted scene!

【Ding! Congratulations on checking in at the classic scene "The afro-wearing skeleton who loves to see panties!", obtained check-in reward "Soul Fire of the Super Skeleton Soldier"!】

——————————

"Soul Fire of the Super Skeleton Soldier": A flame condensing the skeleton’s soul, which can strengthen itself by devouring other souls, or be devoured by other souls!;

——————————

Lord Lord Sima Di, who was watching the show from the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was clearly a touching reunion of partners, and Brook had turned it into a pervert harassing a young girl.

Laboon had also learned about "propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame" while spending time with people during this period.

Being asked this by Brook, she was immediately furious!

A black punch landed directly on Brook’s bowing skull!

"Boom!"

Brook was smashed onto the deck, and a bump actually grew on his skull in a weird way, and he was sucking in cold air while baring his teeth.

Even for a skeleton, Armament Haki could cause real damage!

Crocus had a weird expression; was this the thing Laboon had been waiting for for 50 years?

Hmm...

It was somewhat not worth it.

With Brook’s interference, Laboon’s timidity was gone—what was there to be afraid of with this thing?

She immediately revealed her identity!

And then...

Lord Lord Sima Di looked at the classic scene scrolling by, and he was hyped too!

Didn't expect that just a small effort to make up for regrets would yield such a rich reward?

And...

"The wind is so strong, it blew sand into my eyes..."

Debt repayment progress: [21500 words/103500 words] Country!

Author Xian Youren, because I was busy as a volunteer from morning to afternoon due to the pandemic, please forgive the late update!

43. The final chorus! Lord Lord Sima Di’s vow!

With Brook’s interference, Laboon’s timidity was gone.

She took half a step forward,

and the girl’s height of 1.6 meters was just right for her to look Brook, who was sitting on the ground, in the eye.

"Brook, besides you, what about the others in the Rumbar Pirates?" Laboon asked.

She looked at the dilapidated environment around her, and actually already had a rough guess...

Brook’s emotions changed significantly upon hearing this; he touched his skull as if recalling something, and didn't speak for a long time.

"I’m asking you, Brook, why are you dawdling?" Crocus said impatiently.

Only then did Brook come back to his senses.

He looked up at the sky and sighed: "The Rumbar Pirates... only I am left..."

Everyone was silent, looking at Laboon nervously.

Laboon, who had waited for 50 years only to receive this news, had tears streaming from her eyes; the sound of the teardrops hitting the deck was particularly harsh in this dark black fog.

Everyone understood Laboon’s mood, but all they could do was remain silent.

Only Brook was very strange.

"This beautiful young lady..." Brook turned to look at Crocus: "Is she a descendant of one of the crew members? Why is she crying so sadly?"

Crocus didn't answer, but asked back: "You’ve been drifting in this black fog for 50 years? For the sake of the promise?"

The promise?

Brook stood up, tidied his clothes meticulously, rested his bone hand on his cane, and looked ahead.

"Has it already been 50 years?"

"In this sunless black fog, I really didn't know that so much time had passed."

"Back then, our pirate crew left Laboon at Twin Capes, promising that we would definitely return to pick it up... now everyone else is dead, and I have an obligation to tell it everything."

Even though they already knew Laboon’s story,

but when it was truly confirmed that the skeleton in front of them was the one they were looking for, everyone was still filled with emotion.
