"An island whale named Laboon. If I remember correctly, it seems to be the pet of the Rumba Pirates. Is it the one in front of you? After so many years, I didn't expect him to grow so big."

Sig raised his foot and stomped on the back of the whale Laboon, making a look of lamenting the passage of time.

"What? You know the Rumba Pirates." Crocus screamed with his eyes wide open, with an unbelievable look on his face. At this moment, he was really surprised.

Crocus once thought that in this world, he was the only one who knew that there was once a Rumba Pirates. Although he wanted to tell this story to those pirates who came and went, it was a pity that those who came and went Pirates are generally unwilling to listen to his stories.

Even if there are a few who stop occasionally, it is for the purpose of robbing him.

Unexpectedly, today he met another person who knew about the Rumba Pirates, and this person just put a sword around his neck.

Looking at Sig at this time, Crocus's mood can be described as mixed.

"What? Is it strange to know the Rumba Pirates at my age?" Sig asked back.

"Of course it's strange, the Rumba Pirates were more than 40 years ago..."

Just in the middle of speaking, Crocus stopped abruptly. He looked at the beard growing on Sig's chin and was speechless.

Although I just called Sig a young man, but a closer look shows that this person should be in his 40s, almost 50. Although he is still much younger than himself, he knows the Rumba Pirates at his age, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with him. Strange.

‘Maybe he met the Rumba Pirates when he was young. After all, those guys left a deep impression on people. ’ At this moment, Crocus remembered how he was when he met the Rumba Pirates when he was young.

"It's been more than 40 years. It's been more than 40 years since they left. For more than 40 years, there has been no news at sea. Laboon has also been waiting for them here on the reverse mountain for more than 40 years."

Crocus was sad.

"Yes, it has been more than 40 years, and the Rumba Pirates are almost dead now." Sig also pretended to be emotional.

"Well, who said otherwise, after more than 40 years, the crew of the Rumba Pirates must have died..." Speaking of this, what did Crocus suddenly realize?

Almost dead, doesn't that mean there are still people alive?

He turned to look at Sig in surprise, and asked uncertainly: "You just said that the Rumba Pirates are almost dead? More than 40 years have passed, and there are still people alive?"

"That's right, there was indeed a man named Brook who survived."

"Back then, the Rumba Pirates were plotted against by the enemy, and some of the crew members were poisoned and infected with the plague. In order to protect the other part of the uninfected crew, and not to bring the plague to other people on the sea, the captain of the Rumba Pirates ordered to let the infected The plague crew sailed to the Calm Belt in the same old ship, while the rest of the healthy crew departed in small rescue boats with record pointers."

Sig explains to Crocus how most of the Rumba Pirates died.

"Brook was one of those healthy crew members who left in the small lifeboat?" Crocus asked hastily.

"No, he was one of those infected crew members who later died on the Calm Belt along with those infected crew members."

Crocus: ...

Looking at Sig in front of him, Crocus just couldn't beat him, otherwise he would have taken the knife.

Is this teasing him? Earlier it was said that Brook alone survived, but now it is said that Brook died with them.

Even if it was to tease him, there was no need to make fun of the dead. At this moment, Crocus was a little angry.

But just when Crocus was angry, but not completely angry, Sig's voice continued to sound.

"However, compared to the others, Brook's luck is much better. He once ate a Devil Fruit, but he didn't gain any fruit ability."

"However, the name of the Devil Fruit is the fruit of the underworld. Its real ability is to give the dead ability users a chance to live again. Brook has become the only survivor through this ability."

Crocus opened his mouth in amazement and came back from the dead. What a miraculous and weird thing, but if it is Devil Fruit's ability, it seems understandable.

After all, Devil Fruit has all kinds of strange abilities, and it can revive a person with abilities once. Although it is shocking, it is not unacceptable.

However, Crocus had another question in mind.

"In this case, according to what you said, since Brook has been resurrected from the dead, more than 40 years have passed, even if he has not reached Raftel and completed his ideal of circling the Grand Line, he should have left his name on the sea. right."

"For 40 years, I have never heard Brook's name on the sea." Crocus stared at Sig with burning eyes, wanting to get an answer from him.

And Sig did not disappoint him, and only heard Sig slowly say the final content: "That's because he lost his way. After Brook's death, his soul entered the underworld, and the activation of the fruit ability pulled his soul back."

"But when Brook came back, their boat had dragged Brook's body and drifted somewhere? And when Brook's soul retrieved his body and revived, his body had already turned into a bone."

"Until now, the skeleton named Brook still wanders alone in the sea."

"This is really..." Crocus sighed, but in the face of this situation, he didn't know what to say. He was glad that Brook was alive, but also felt sad for what happened to him.

After a long time, Crocus turned to Sig and asked, "Where is Brook now?"

Sig's eyes flickered, and he said in his heart: 'I'm waiting for this sentence from you. '

Immediately, he replied in a deep voice, "Why should I tell you?"

Crocus: ...

He glanced at Sig with resentful eyes, as if to say: Is it okay for young people to tease a retired old man like me like this? this is not good.

'That is to say, I am old now, if I were a few decades younger. '

When thinking of this, Crocus's mind suddenly flashed the Conqueror's Haki full of domineering will of Sig just now.

'Well, even if you are a few decades younger, you are no match for this kind of monster. Only monsters can defeat monsters. If you want to defeat this young man in front of you, the only way out is... reincarnation. '

Glancing at the blade in Sig's hand, Crocus shivered uncontrollably.
