Looking Forward To Experience The Story of The King That Brings Liberation

About 5 years ago.

"Mr Ephon, can I ask a favor of you." Brook asked respectfully as he approached Ephon.

"What's the matter, Brook?" Ephon said curiously.

Brook hesitated but still managed to speak saying "I… my crew made a promise to our Whale friend Laboon that we would come back after we traveled through the entire Grand Line and when he grew strong enough to follow us, we would come back and bring him on our adventures, but…"

Hearing Brook's explanation, Ephon immediately understood, "so what do you plan to do?"

"Since we will be going to the Calm Belts, I was wondering if you could sail by toward the Twin Cape of Reverse Mountain so that I can bring Laboon along with me to the Calm Belts."

"That's not a problem, we can take a shortcut through the Calm Belts to get to the Twin Cape faster, we'll probably get there in a day." Ephon answered.

"Thank you, Mr…"

"Call me Elder Ephon, everyone in the Triangle calls me that, we're like family now anyways."

"Yes, thank you Elder Ephon." Brook muttered emotionally.

When he died along with his crew and came back as a skeleton, he thought he had lost everything.

But who knew someone like Ephon existed, who accepted him so easily, not to mention giving him hope that his dead crew's dreams could still be completed

Diana and the freed slaves did not object when Ephon informed them of the change in route, some of them were even curious about what the Reverse Mountain looked like.

One Day Later.

As the vast expanse of the sea stretches out endlessly before them, Ephon's NF ship emerges from the mist, its sails billowing in the ocean breeze as it navigates the treacherous waters surrounding Reverse Mountain.

Towering cliffs rise on either side, their sheer faces weathered by centuries of wind and wave, creating a natural gateway to the enigmatic world beyond.

At the heart of Reverse Mountain, stands as a formidable gateway to the mysteries of the Grand Line in the world of One Piece. Rising majestically from the tumultuous sea, Twin Cape consists of two towering cliffs that flank either side of the narrow passage, forming a natural archway that frames the entrance to the treacherous waters beyond.

Atop each cliff, rugged terrain gives way to dense vegetation, with towering trees and lush foliage clinging tenaciously to the rocky outcroppings.

Seabirds wheel and cry overhead, their calls echoing off the sheer faces of the cliffs as they survey the churning waters below.

Arriving on top of the Twin Cape, Brook called out loud "Crocus! Crocus!"

It was only he and Ephon who came here, as Diana found it unnecessary when they were just coming to collect a whale.

"Who is it!?" Crocus said curiously as he exited his small shack.

"A Skelton." Brook said jokingly, much to Crocus's dismay.

"Who… are you Brook?" Crocus asked in disbelief.

"I'm surprised that you recognized me so quickly Crocus, yes it's me." Brook replied.

"How did you become like this? Where are the others?"

"Sigh…it's a long story… Yohoho, actually it's a short story." Brook joked.

"I'm all ears."

A few moments later…

"I'm sorry that you had to experience such a thing, Brook." Crocus said emotionally.

"The seas are cruel, but thanks to Mr. E… Elder Ephon, it wouldn't be as bad as it could have been."

Hearing Brook's words, Crocus turned his gaze towards Ephon,"Elder… this young man?" he muttered out loud as he stared at Ephon's young figure.

"Don't judge a book by its cover Crocus, you should take a look at what story it entails." Ephon uttered playfully.

"What does that mean?" Crocus asked, confused by Ephon's words.

"You should have heard of him before Crocus, he is Ephon Jarilo, 'The Wrath of Nature', the leader of Nature's Family." Brook introduced animately.

But he got no response as Crocus was completely silent, with his gaze stuck on Ephon.

'What the hell, is this guy lucky or unlucky to come in contact with such a monster.' Crocus thought eyeing Brook.

"Ahem… Nice to meet you Mr Ephon." Crocus said with a smile. Completely suppressing the numerous questions that appeared in his head.

He had heard many rumors about Nature's Triangle, which people refer to as paradise, and its deterrence power, so he indeed knew a little about NF

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Crocus, an interesting Journey awaits you." Ephon muttered meaningfully, much to Crocus's confusion, and although Brook didn't understand, he could guess what Ephon did.

"Alright so where is Laboon, I want to bring him to the Calm Belt with me."

"He's in the Sea below us, he should appear at any moment now, 'Spew!' speak of the devil."

As Crocus was explaining Laboon's location to Brook, they all heard the sound of a Whale breathing out water from its blowhole.

'It's still small, that's good I guess.' Ephon thought as he observed Laboon's current appearance, the current Laboon was about half the size of a ship.

"Laboon!" Brook called out loud.

…

PRESENT-DAY, Black Bay- Beach.

"Soul King Brook" "Soul King Brook" "Soul King Brook"

Underneath the canvas of a sky painted with hues of orange and pink as the sun begins its descent, Brooke stands alone on a giant whale, Laboon, that is afloat on the glistening surface of the calm waters of the Calm Belt'.

With the gentle lapping of waves as his rhythm section, he cradles his guitar, his skeletal fingers dancing over the strings with practiced precision, weaving a melody that seems to rise and fall with the ebb and flow of the artificial tide.

"WoW!" "You ROCK!"

The vibration from his music seemed to hold some type of mythical power as everyone listening to him from the sandy beach seemed to be experiencing an out-of-body state.

The salty breeze carries the strains of his music across the water, mingling with the soft murmurs of the ocean and the distant cries of seabirds wheeling overhead. The setting sun casts a golden glow upon the scene, illuminating Brook's skeleton figure in a warm, ethereal light as he serenades his audience.

But instead of feeling a positive and divine aura from Brook's figure, the fans felt like they were staring at a demon from hell. They felt no warmness from him, but a chill, but this chill somehow felt good to them.

" 🎵Nature's Triangle! 🎵" Brook sang into the mike, causing the crowd to go wild, his skeletal eyes seemingly looking forward to a time in the future as he gazed into the crowd.

"Brook I love you!" a fan screamed from the crowd.

" 🎵Oh Yeah! 🎵

🎵I will witness the story of a King! 🎵

🎵Not from the end, but from the beginning… 🎵

🎵He will bring Liberation🎵

🎵So that the next Generation wouldn't have to suffer🎵 

🎵From Discrimination🎵"

Hearing Brook's singing, one of the fans in the audience turned to his friend with crazed eyes screaming in ecstasy "This is the feeling that I told you about!"

"I feel so detached, so free, how can music do this?" another fan muttered out loud.

Although the audience didn't understand Brook's words, they somehow understood the emotions he was conveying, and that was Longing.

On the sandy shores that fringe the sea, that huge crowd that gathered to listen to Brook's faces was upturned towards the giant whale Laboon on which was Brook's figure.

As they soak in the soul-like melodies that drift across the water. They were truly feeling grateful to be born in such a place and live in a territory like Nature's Triangle, where they can experience the joy of living in Paradise

But not everyone were paying attention to Brook's performance, a lot of families came here just to enjoy the beach vibes.

Families sit together on blankets spread out upon the sand, children laugh and play in the water, while couples stroll hand in hand along the water's edge, their footsteps leaving fleeting impressions in the wet sand.

This was Brook's third concert since he came to Nature's Triangle. After taking Ephon's advice, he decided that this is what he was gonna do during his time here. And with the promotion of Nature's News, Brook became an instant celebrity.

This was one of the parts of entertainment Ephon wanted for his territory, but it was very hard to get a good musician, so having Brook was just perfect.
