Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

"That's pretty much it, so you can be considered a prisoner on our ship for the time being. But we won't abuse you, we will just provide you with a period of compulsory education, and we can release you after a period of time when you pass the inspection.

leave."

Zhang Da also sat across from Perona, telling her the truth that was somewhat difficult to accept. Now there were only two of them in the small bar.

The flag demons were blasted away by Zhang Daye to study how to repair the deck, which was the hole that Absalom had made with the anchor.

Ye Yan went back to his room to take a nap. He had to keep vigil at night and needed to refresh himself during the day.

Brooke planned to bury his former companions here. Their bones had been collected by Brooke a long time ago and had been drifting with him on the sea for forty years. Now he finally found an 'island' where they could be buried.

Shark Pepper expressed that he admired Brook's approach, so he decided to help. Artoria also went with him. She wanted to bury the four knights who defeated yesterday.

Rui Mengmeng went to her room to find a few sets of clothes for Tom to change and give to Perona. Although she could easily change the clothes, she couldn't scale them down without any trace of modification like Tom.

Tom went to the kitchen to help Perona make some food.

"Lord Moria is dead?" Perona sobbed in a low voice, holding the lollipop given to her by Artoria in her mouth, and huddled on the sofa in the small bar, "You have obviously agreed to help me build a

From the Kingdom of Dreams.”

"Dream Kingdom? What is that?" Zhang Da didn't remember this setting either. Is it the same as the Utopia that Crocodile described to his men?

Perona explained in a low voice: "It means capturing all the cutest animals in the world and making them into zombies to obey me."

What on earth do you want to do to these cute little animals?

Zhang Da also secretly scolded Moria for being unreliable, and that a good child would be spoiled by him. It seems that Perona's education has a long way to go.

At this time, Tom brought over a plate of fragrant fried rice and a small bowl of hot soup, placed them on the table in front of Perona, and made a gesture of invitation.

This action, this demeanor, this etiquette, even in a top hotel, he would definitely be the best among many waiters.

However, Perona didn't appreciate it very much. She bent her legs and buried her face in her knees: "I don't want to eat! I want Kumasi, I want Lord Moria, wuwu..."

As she said this, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily. She hadn't eaten anything from yesterday evening to today's noon.

Secretly looking up at Zhang Daye who was holding back a smile, Perona blushed: "I'm not hungry at all!"

Zhang Da also leaned over and said something in Tom's ear. Tom nodded, took out a small fan, and fanned the fried rice.

The aroma of fried rice seemed to come alive, gathering into a stream that snaked into Perona's nostrils.

Within a few seconds, Zhang Da heard two swallowing sounds.

Zhang Da also hugged Tom and pulled his cat face: "Why are you greedy yourself? Didn't you do your part?"

Tom grinned, he didn't feel hungry when he was cooking, and he had just eaten so he didn't expect it.

"Let's go, take you to the kitchen to make another one." Zhang Da also hugged Tom and left the bar.

Children sometimes care about face in strange ways, and it doesn't matter if they are arrogant. At this time, you need to give her a little space.

When she heard the footsteps disappear, Perona raised her head and looked around at no one, then carefully picked up the spoon: "You can't tell if you only take a bite, right?"

"Delicious!"

"One more bite..."

“One last bite!”

A cat's head poked out of the door, and a human head poked out above the cat's head. They looked at Perona devouring the food and smiled at each other.

…

On the other side, with the help of Shark Pepper and Artoria, Brooke moved dozens of coffins from his original ship, found a suitable place in the woods, dug a grave, and erected a tombstone.

"Everyone, please forgive me for leaving you here without authorization. Next, I will take everyone's thoughts on Mr. Tatsuya's ship and bring everyone's thoughts back to Twin Capes."

"Actually, our agreement is to travel around the world for a week, and then return to Twin Capes to meet Rab from the other side of the Red Continent. But I'm afraid I can't do this alone, and I can't ask Mr. Tatsuya and the others to change the course for me. And

…”

"And Rab has been waiting for us for forty years. I...can't let him wait any longer. The most important thing now is for him to know everyone's news. Please forgive me as the acting captain of the Lombard Pirates.

Ordered to return halfway!"

Brooke lay on the ground and burst into tears. It took a long time before he straightened up: "Before we say goodbye, let's listen to our chorus for the last time."

Brooke opened his skull, took out a music shell, placed it in front of the tombstone, and pressed the play button.

When the music started playing, Shark Chili hadn't realized what was going to happen next. He looked at the conch-like Yinbei and said, "That's Yinbei. It's said to be a specialty from Sky Island. This is the first time I've seen it."

"Yes, I used it to record the last ensemble and chorus with my friends before they died. This was the last thing everyone left to Raab, and it was also the most precious thing that supported me in living alone for forty years."

"Great ensemble," Shark Pepper praised as he listened to the intro to "Binx's Wine."

"Shark Pepper, is it okay if you keep listening like this?" Artoria reminded, after the intro was the chorus. She remembered that Shark Pepper hated singing.

Shark Chili's expression changed... well, his expression didn't change. As soon as his eyes changed, he wanted to leave immediately, but it was too late.

'Young ho ho ho ho, you ho ho ho ho...'

When the singing started, Shark Pepper covered his head, closed his eyes and squatted on the ground shivering: "Don't sing, I hate singing!"

Arturia thought for a moment, and decided that she couldn't turn off the sound at this time, so she had no choice but to drag the shark away by its tail.

When he was dragged to a place where he could no longer hear the singing, Shark Pepper suddenly called to Artoria to stop: "Singing like this doesn't seem so scary."

Artoria asked: "Huh? Are you not afraid of singing anymore?"

"No." Shark Chili shook his head, "I still feel a little scared when it comes to singing, but their chorus seems to be different."

Shark Chili tried to take a few steps forward: "Look, there are fewer and fewer instruments playing, and so do the people singing."

Arturia nodded. In addition, if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of someone or an instrument falling to the ground: "Brooke said that they were all poisoned at that time, and those who stopped singing may not be able to hold on anymore.

."

"But there is no despair or sadness in their singing. When you hear such singing, you can see their smiling faces. This is what they want to leave to Rab." Shark Pepper's eyes softened.

The two of them stood not far away and listened to the chorus gradually coming to an end, seemingly witnessing the end of the Lumba Pirates.

Until the end, the chorus became a five-person chorus, a four-person chorus... a solo...

The ensemble became a quintet, a quartet... a solo...

The partners fell down one after another, leaving Brooke crying while trying to maintain a smile to complete this gift to Rab.

After his death, with only his bones left, Brooke put away the precious music shell again and stared at the sky with his empty eyes. The thick fog quietly dispersed at some point, letting a ray of sunshine shine on Brooke and the Lombard Sea.

On the tombstone where the thieves were buried together——

This is the Lumba Pirates who are always full of laughter, the Lumba Pirates who can make crying children laugh out loud.
