Chapter 93

"I’m going to go kill it right now!"

Having regained her confidence, Miss Valentine let go of Lin Yu, put on her scientific combat suit, and flew into the black mist, preparing to take revenge for being scared silly just now.

The scientific combat suit Reiju made had a pathfinding function and could locate other scientific combat suits, so Miss Valentine wasn't afraid of not finding her way back.

"That silly girl."

Seeing Miss Valentine run off, Lin Yu muttered, turned the ship around, and jumped into the air to follow behind her, just in case she ran into any trouble.

Seeing Lin Yu’s actions, Reiju, Robin, and Tashigi looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

They were already long used to Lin Yu’s considerate behavior.

After a short flight, Miss Valentine and Lin Yu soon arrived at the ship where Brook was.

Lin Yu didn't have much of a feeling toward Brook; the only thing he wanted to do was send him on his way, end his suffering, and then get his hands on the Revive-Revive Fruit.

Brook was originally a pirate of the Rumbar Pirates, so Lin Yu had no burden in killing him.

Moreover, the Revive-Revive Fruit possessed the ability to resurrect, which could give him an extra life; he had to get his hands on it no matter what.

At most, out of consideration for Brook wandering for many years in desperate days just to see Laboon, he would take him to see Laboon once.

"Ya-ha-ha-ha, you dead skeleton, you scared me just now, watch how I deal with you!"

Seeing Brook, the skeleton in a suit, Miss Valentine once again let out her signature demonic laugh, making people want to beat her up.

"A... a living person?"

"Yo-ho-ho-ho, I’ve finally seen a living person!!!"

Recovering from his shock, Brook the skeleton, seeing Miss Valentine and Lin Yu appear before him, excitedly circled the two of them, looking them over.

Seeing Brook the skeleton acting as if he had some serious illness, Miss Valentine felt a chill.

Lin Yu, seeing Brook’s appearance, couldn't help but smile; he felt inexplicably familiar.

Then, Brook stood in front of Lin Yu and Miss Valentine and said solemnly:

"I am Brook, who is nothing but bones, please treat me well."

Afterward, Brook looked at Miss Valentine and smiled:

"Ah, this beautiful lady, may I see your panties?"

"You’re looking for death!"

Miss Valentine, hearing this, looked shy and angry; with a fist imbued with Armament Haki, she punched Brook, embedding him into the wall of the broken ship’s cabin.

"Such... such a powerful punch..."

Brook, whose bones were already cracked, was embedded in the wall and unable to move; he tremblingly reached out a hand to give Miss Valentine a thumbs up.

"I’m so angry!"

Miss Valentine, seeing Brook’s sleazy behavior, was instantly furious and prepared to continue teaching him a lesson.

"Hahaha, you really are yourself, Brook."

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh again at Brook’s behavior, patted Miss Valentine on the shoulder, and told her to calm down.

Afterward, Lin Yu came before Brook and smiled:

"Brook, I will take you to see Laboon."

"In exchange, please offer your life."

"Laboon..."

Brook was stunned on the spot upon hearing Lin Yu’s words, looking at him in disbelief.

Even though Brook was now just a skeleton, Lin Yu and Miss Valentine could tell from his skull how shocked he was.

"You... you actually know about Laboon..."

"That really almost scared my eyeballs out, yo-ho-ho-ho, although I don't have eyeballs."

Brook recovered from his shock and told a skeleton cold joke.

Then, he looked at Lin Yu and said earnestly:

"Sir, if you can really take me to see Laboon once."

"Brook’s skull is yours."

Going to see Laboon and fulfilling the promise.

This was the belief and hope that Brook had been able to hold onto during those desperate days in the Florian Triangle.

If the person in front of him could really take him to see Laboon once, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Anyway, he had long been a man who should have died.

Meeting his former companions in the afterlife was, in Brook’s view, better than these desperate days.

He had had enough of the long and lonely despair.

"It’s a deal."

Lin Yu smiled, took out a pair of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs from thin air, and told Brook to put them on himself.

Brook did not resist and, as instructed, voluntarily put on the Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs.

In his view, Lin Yu knew about the connection between him and Laboon, so he must have come prepared.

Moreover, based on the attack he had just received, he was afraid he couldn't even beat that beautiful lady, so there was naturally no need to resist.

This was also the reason why Brook would agree to Lin Yu.

Survival of the fittest, respect for strength.

As a veteran pirate, Brook knew the rules of this sea very well.

"Take him."

Lin Yu dropped a Little Pepper on the broken ship, gave the order, and flew back to the Shennu.

"If you dare to move, watch out, I’ll deal with you."

Miss Valentine carried Brook and warned him unhappily.

"Beautiful lady, I..."

"Thump!"

Brook had just started to speak when Miss Valentine punched him on the skull, and he instantly wilted.

However, when the three of them returned to the Shennu and saw Reiju, Robin, and Tashigi, Brook instantly came back to life.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho, there are so many beautiful ladies, I, Brook, am really lucky today."

Brook was tossed onto the deck by Miss Valentine and kept laughing as he looked at the beautiful women in front of him.

"It really is a skeleton that can move." Tashigi walked up to Brook, kicked him with her foot, and looked amazed.

Even she was seeing such a rare creature for the first time.

"He just ate a Devil Fruit."

Sitting back in his chair, Lin Yu explained, "Miss Valentine, have Makino prepare some food for him; he hasn't eaten in a long time."

"I understand." Miss Valentine nodded and ran into the cabin.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho, there’s actually food to eat, Brook is very grateful."

"However, Brook cannot be exposed to the sun; I wonder if I may enter the cabin?"

Brook was very happy to be able to eat real food, but he hadn't forgotten that his shadow had been stolen.

Hearing this, Lin Yu snapped his fingers.

Afterward, a rope dropped from the Shennu, and Brook was carried toward the brig.

"Why did you capture him?"

After Brook left, Reiju took the deck of cards and asked while shuffling and dealing.

They were playing a new game Lin Yu had taught them called 'Run Fast'.

"He has a very special Devil Fruit, and I want to obtain it."

Lin Yu took the cards Reiju dealt and frowned.

These cards were terrible!

"He’s a pirate, right? Why didn't you just kill him? Tashigi doesn't understand." Tashigi threw down a pair of 3s and looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu never showed mercy to those pirates who committed evil.

And Tashigi also knew very well that Lin Yu could plunder the Devil Fruit abilities of others by killing them.

"He has a story, a very touching one, so I plan to help him fulfill his wish before sending him on his way."
