After the transportation was completed, without the threat of Tyrant Bear, everyone could finally relax and hold a celebration banquet.

The damp smell of decaying trees was immediately dispersed by the aroma of barbecue,

The dilapidated horror sailboat was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

“It’s delicious!!”

“It’s the first time I’ve eaten such delicious food!”

The people of the Tumbling Pirates praised Chef Sanji generously.

Brook drank the milk in his hand,

The cracks on his bones gradually recovered under the effect of milk,

This is the strange way of blood recovery of the Yomiuri Fruit.

The flames in the skeleton’s eyes trembled, and he saw a piano that was moved out of the castle.

In his original pirate group, everyone could play a musical instrument,

and he was proficient in all the instruments.

The Straw Hats gathered around Brook when they saw him sitting in front of the piano.

“I have something to ask you,”

Franky scratched his sunglasses,

“How did you survive all these years?”

“You are a skeleton, a skeleton that has been dead for many years,”

“You can speak and think,”

“All your companions left you decades ago,”

“These lonely decades, without company,”

“Why haven’t you become depressed and wanted to commit suicide yet?”

Brook’s finger bones gently stroked the piano keys,

“A long time ago, we left a companion somewhere,”

“We had agreed to return there,”

“But not long after, we were completely wiped out and failed to fulfill our agreement with it.”

“I have an obligation to go back and tell it about this,”

“Now that I think about it, it’s been fifty years.”

Shocked by Brook’s answer, Franky asked again,

“Fifty years have passed. How do you know if the other party is still waiting for you?”

Fifty years is particularly long in this chaotic world.

Brook’s voice was solemn and serious.

“What right do I have to judge?”

“Will my companion really be waiting for me?”

“What if he really believed us?”

“How lonely he must be now?”

The eyes of the people who were listening to the story were a little moist.

Brook let out a long breath.

“The companion’s name is Laboo.”

“It’s a whale.”

Luffy and the others were stunned.

“How big is the whale you are talking about?”

Brook touched his chin and thought.

“When we left, Laboo had a boat. Big,”

Luffy grinned,

“We’ve seen that whale”

“If Lab knew, he would be very happy, hehe.”

Brook’s voice trembled,

“Really?”

“Is it okay?”

Sanji and Usopp talked at the same time,

“It’s fine.”

“It’s full of energy every day.”

“Now it’s as big as a mountain.”

Brook covered his eyes with his hands, trying to hold back the tears,

but because there were only skeletons in his hands, all the tears still flowed down.

“Really…”

“It’s good…”

Brooke recalled everything in the past fifty years in his mind.

Every day he woke up alone on the pirate ship,

Walking across the empty deck,

Putting the bodies of his companions in the coffin one by one,

Sometimes he would tell a few skeleton jokes in loneliness,

Then he fell asleep again at night,

Repeatedly,

Every day when he dreamed, he would dream back to when everyone was still there,

At that time they went on adventures together,

They loved music together,

When they opened their eyes again, everyone turned into bones again,

And he was the only one who could move,

Because of a promise that lasted for fifty years,

Now he heard that the companions who had made the promise were alive and waiting for him,

Perhaps only he understood the bitterness and sweetness in it.

He opened his skull,

Took out a shell under the horrified expressions of the crowd.

“This is a sound shell.”

“It can store sound.”

This is the product of Sky Island drifting on the sea.

In order to match his own, Brook put the shell on the piano,

“It contains the voices of the dead companions,”

“They want to tell Lab that they have ended their adventure happily.”

That day, all the companions were injured in the battle,

and the enemy smeared poison on their weapons,

The dying people decided to sing a cheerful song before they died.

Brook took a deep breath, released the shell, and played the piano.

The younger brothers of the Tumbling Pirates also danced happily when they heard the cheerful music,

“We can sing this song too!!”

Brook shouted,

“Then let’s sing together!”Luffy and others also joined the carnival,

drinking wine, dancing and singing songs,

“Yo-ho-ho, Yo-ho-ho~”

“Yo-ho-ho, Yo-ho-ho~”

“Binx wine for you~”

“Floating in the wind, swaying with the waves~”

“The tide rises and falls, the sun sets~”

“Seabirds hover, singing loudly~”

“Goodbye, hometown, the home of spotted thrush~”

“The waves sparkle, the water splashes~”

The joyful atmosphere seems to never stop,

Unlike Luffy and others who joined the carnival,

Lin En stood by the piano and listened carefully to the sound of Brookinberry,

It was a different sound from the excited and cheerful voice on the field.

The dying people in Yinberg sang cheerful songs with all their might.

At first, they were very loud.

As the poison took effect,

the sounds of instruments disappeared one after another.

First, the cello,

then the drummer,

then the accordion,

the types of music became fewer and fewer,

the singing became quieter, and the music became more and more monotonous,

until finally only a piano completed the entire performance alone.

That was probably Brook’s piano.

The music ended.

Lin picked up a glass of wine and walked to Brook.

“Have a drink.”

Brook picked up the glass of wine.

Lin said again.

“Although pirates don’t need a reason to drink.”

“But use this glass of wine to toast,”

Brook asked doubtfully.

“What to toast?”

Lin raised the glass.

“Just toast those,”

“Those who got lost on the way home.”

“This glass of wine,”

“To those who haven’t returned yet.”

Brook smiled and drank the wine mixed with tears.

“To those who haven’t returned yet!!”
