Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Kurokas asked Rab the question he wanted to know most: "How are the other members of the Lumba Pirates?"

In fact, when he saw Brook's current appearance, Kurokas already had a bad guess. After thinking carefully, it was not the Lombard Pirates who came this time, but the recently famous Amber Tour Group from the East China Sea... I'm afraid the Lombard Sea

The thieves no longer exist, right?

Faced with this problem, Brooke silently opened his skull, took out his treasured music shell, and gently pressed the play button.

The last ensemble and chorus of the Rumba Pirates came out from the little sound. When Labu heard the music, he jumped up and cautiously swam on the sea surface like he did when he was a child, making "woo-woo" sounds in response to the rhythm.

Brooke watched this scene with mixed emotions and couldn't help but pick up his beloved violin.

The sound of the piano kept up with the melody in the bass, and the scene in front of Brooke kept changing. His departed companions stood beside him again, playing their respective instruments, and the four-hundred-meter-long Lab changed back to the one with only one at the end.

The two-sized baby whales swam and tumbled in the waves to their music...

"Young ho ho ho ho, you ho ho ho ho...?"

Rab leaned against the shore, and the captain and Brooke stroked Rab's head together: "No matter how many times I look at it, I still feel that Brooke's hairstyle is exactly the same as Rab's head!"

Brooke scratched his hair: "Isn't that great? Young ho ho ho ho"

"A toast with wine from Binx?"

The crew clinked glasses to each other: "Cheers to Brooke for eating the landlubber fruit!"

Brooke clinked his glasses subconsciously, and then immediately shouted: "What kind of reason is that for a toast! And that's the underworld fruit!"

"Facing wind, rain and huge waves?"

The Lombard Pirates held a swimming competition, and a naughty crew member rode on Labu: "Go ahead, Labu! Don't lose to those guys!"

Brooke, who was unable to compete, stood on the boat and raised his fist: "Play well for me, don't use filibuster to cheat!"

"My favorite flag is flying under the clear sky?"

After repairing at Twin Capes, the Lombard Pirates set sail again: "Rabu, in two or three years we will complete a trip around the world, and then climb over the Upside Down Mountain again and return to this place. By then, your body should have changed.

Get big and strong, and then let’s go on adventures together!”

"This sea is really impossible to judge by common sense. It's really unbearable! Come and sing a song, just sing that song!"

"I don't know how Captain Youqi's illness is, and whether he has successfully crossed the windless zone. But we will inherit his will and continue to move forward on this new ship until we see Rab!"

"Their weapons are poisonous... Even the ship's doctor is dead... Haha... Are we going to be completely annihilated?"

"I'm going to die anyway, so why not leave happily? How about joining in the chorus? If I can really be resurrected, I will definitely bring this voice back to Twin Capes!"

…

In the second half of the music, the number of players decreased one by one, and Rab whined anxiously. He seemed to see the phantoms around Brooke disappearing one by one, and saw the adventurous journey of the Lumba Pirates, and the four of them.

Ten years ago, the scene where my teammates fell down one by one while playing.

He sadly tried to save her, but was unable to do anything.

Rab is a very smart island whale. Listening to the changes in the music, he has already guessed what Brooke wants to tell him, but he would rather not be so smart. The joy just now was like a dream, and was surging like a tsunami.

The sadness that came was drowned out.

Familiar figures and interesting memories kept appearing and disappearing in Labu's mind. All the members of the Lombard Pirates waved goodbye to Labu with smiles. Labu tried hard to swim forward, but he couldn't do it anyway.

Their figures cannot be touched.

Swimming, swimming, Labu's scarred head pressed against the shore. The cold and hard touch of the rocks on the red earth continent brought him back to reality. Labu's big eyes were full of confusion and sadness.

He retreated habitually, his huge tail swinging, wanting to hit the Red Earth Continent as before, but this time it was not to crash through the Red Earth Continent to find a partner on the other side, but just to vent his sadness and want to

Use pain to numb yourself.

Brooke is still playing the violin, and only the sound of Brooke's piano accompaniment is left in the sound. The Brooke of forty years ago and the Brooke of now seem to be facing each other in an ensemble that spans time and space. Using this piece of music, he transforms himself from

All past and present feelings are conveyed to Rab.

Rab was stunned. He understood Brooke's feelings, including the joy of meeting again after a long separation, the sadness of losing his companion, the regret of not being able to complete the agreement, and the worry about him over the years...

But the most important thing is that Rab understood the last message left to him by the Lombard Pirates in the song - "We ended this trip cheerfully and happily."

This is the meaning of this recording left by the Lombard Pirates. As pirates, they have long been prepared to die in battle one day. This day will happen to everyone, and there is nothing to fear about death.

The only thing they were worried about was that they would not be able to fulfill their agreement with Rab, and they would definitely be sad after learning about their deaths, right?

They are the Rumba Pirates who can make even crying children laugh. How can they make their companions who have been waiting for them cry after death?

So they exhausted their last vitality and left this "unprecedented" chorus of the Rumba Pirates for Rab, telling him:

'Although we left, we left with a smile. Please continue to live with a smile in the future...'

Brooke knew the meaning of this song, so in the past forty years, every time he felt lonely, he would take out his guitar and listen to it. Such a 'song of life' could make him feel the presence of his companions.

The gift given to Rab is also a gift left to him.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! Shark Chili was the first to understand this song, so he listened to a complete song for the first time on the Terror Barque without running away. He could feel it.

Even Tom would be hard-pressed to replicate the performance and singing that conveys happiness to others.

As a partner of the Lumba Pirates, Rab now understands this song, so he did not hit the rock wall in the end. He will no longer intentionally hurt himself. He will work hard to fulfill the last wish of his companions - live a good life.

Go down and live well with a smile...with Brooke.

Rab listened to the last note quietly, and looked at each other in silence with Brooke who put down his violin.

Finally, Labu opened his mouth slightly: "Woo"

"I understand, Rab! I understand!" Brooke's tears welled up again. He raised the hand holding the bow and wiped it with his sleeve:

"You still have me here! Speaking of which, I really have no future, and I still need you to comfort me at this time. However, not only do you have me here, I also have you!"

"Woo" Rab flattened his body and leaned against the shore, as if inviting Brooke to come up.

"Yes, this is the last time I cry." Brooke wiped away her tears and jumped lightly on Rab's back, "Then, let me play a song for you, sing your favorite song!"

"Woooo" Rab carried Brooke as steadily as before and swam on the sea.

The sound of violins, singing, and whale calls resounded throughout Twin Headlands.

…

While Brooke and Rab were playing in the sea, Kurokas asked about Brooke's experience and told everyone in the Amber Tour Group about Rab's past.

Naturally, this includes the origin of the scars on Rab’s head.

"Hey? Are those scars caused by the impact on the red earth continent?" Wendy touched her head and said sympathetically, "It must be painful, right?"

"His body is too big to flow back through the canal back to the West Sea on the other side of the Red Continent. He can only bang his head against the mountain wall day after day." Kurokas said while looking at the towering Upside Down Mountain.

Rather than pain, Rab is more afraid that his waiting will lose its meaning."

Rui Mengmeng said: "But he has been waiting for so many years. Since he believes that his companion will come back, is it really okay to hurt himself?"

"This... is actually my responsibility." Kurokas said with some guilt, "I have confirmed through 'reliable channels' that the Lombard Pirates have escaped from the Grand Line. After telling Rab about this

, he didn’t want to believe it, so he became irritable and wanted to go to the other side of the Red Earth Continent to confirm for himself..."

"Reliable channel" means that he once boarded Roger's ship as a ship's doctor, and learned about the Lombard Pirates' escape from the Grand Line during several years of sailing.

Perona said dissatisfied: "What kind of reliable channel is that? It's obviously fake news."

"Probably, it was me who harmed Rab." Kurokas himself was not convinced.

"No." Zhang Daye interjected: "That news should be true."

Everyone looked at him in confusion, and Zhang Daye explained: "Brook once said that because the original captain of the Lombard Pirates, 'Plain White Cloth' Youqi, and a dozen other crew members were infected with infectious diseases, they took the original pirate ship.

The ship forced its way into the windless zone and prepared to leave the Grand Line."

"The other crew members were led by Brooke and continued their adventures on the new ship. Later, they lost their traces in the Devil's Triangle. The fact that their entire army was annihilated was not known to the outside world."

"So the news that Mr. Kulokas received should refer to the fact that Yuchi and the others left the Grand Line on the Lombard Pirates' ship. It cannot be regarded as false news. Mr. Kulokas did not deceive Rab, so there is no need to

Too guilty."

"Thank you for your comfort." Kurokas smiled at Zhang Daye and said, "But having said that, Rab has indeed suffered for a long, long time because of my information."

"Hohoho, please don't worry about it, Mr. Kurokas!" Brooke rode Labu back to the shore. "Rabu didn't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you for taking care of Labu for so long on behalf of my companions."

, and thank you for going out of your way to collect our information for Raab."

Brooke jumped to the shore, took off his little hat and bowed gently: "Thank you very much!"

"Woo," Rab responded in a brisk voice.

"Really?" Kurokas smiled, "It's great that you can say that. Also, congratulations on meeting you again after a long separation!"

"Woo"

"Thank you!" Brooke thanked him again and looked at Zhang Daye and the others, "Thank you all for taking care of me along the way. Without you, I don't know when I would be able to see Rab. Such kindness is really appreciated.

Grateful!"
