Chapter 164

After a brief shock, Brook suddenly laughed!

He shook his head: "Stop joking!! My Laboon can't be that small"

"No! That's just what the Little cards do."

Nami immediately explained, but suddenly thought about what else to explain, so he said, "Go, go out with us and have a look and you will understand!!!"

"That's right! Come with me! Laboon misses you so much!"

Luffy grabbed Brook and ran outside.

Seeing this, the others quickly followed out.

When everyone is on deck...

Brook was shock!!

He saw a huge island whale that was many times bigger than the Going Merry in the sea~~

"La...Laboon!!—"

The legs with only bones left trembled involuntarily, and Brook staggered to the edge of the railing, crying loudly!!!

Even though there are no tears, the sadness cannot be faked

Laboon seemed to sense something, and blinked his huge eyes, looking at Brook.

However.....

Chopper translated Laboon's words: "Laboon says he doesn't know this person~~"

!!!

"Bastard!! You liar!!" Sanji was furious.

Zoro also put his hands on the handle of the sword: "Fortunately, Laboon is here, otherwise I would have been fooled by you!!"

Nami was even more shocked and furious: "Damn it!! I was so moved that I was about to cry just now, it turned out to be a lie!!"

"Luffy, this skeleton must not be kept!"

Usopp was also immediately wary of holding the cross.

"Hey~?"

Luffy also looked at Brook with a confused face, he tilted his head: "Do you know Laboon?"

"ah!!--"

Suddenly, Brook slapped his head and shouted suddenly: "I understand!! I'm dead, only the skeleton is left, of course Laboon doesn't recognize me!!"

When hearing this word, everyone around jumped eight feet away...

"Hey hey hey! You finally admit that you are not human!!?"

Usopp held up the cross and shouted.

"No no no!! I'm still human, just a little different."

Brook quickly waved his hand, and then told what happened to the Rumbar Pirates and his Devil Fruit Yomi Yomi no Mi .

They all look at Brook

Although they couldn't find anything wrong with Brook's words, they didn't fully believe Brook's words either.

At this moment, Logan jumped back onto the deck from Laboon's body.

Nami took Logan's arm and said: "He said he was Laboon's crewmate, but just now Chopper translated what Laboon said, and Laboon said he didn't recognize him."

"Logan, if this skeleton is lying, you must firmly persuade Luffy to drive him away." Zoro stared at Brook warily.

Sanji gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! He lied to all of us as soon as we boarded the ship. If he was allowed to stay for a few days, he wouldn't have stolen Merry!!"

"Hey, hey, even though I'm a skeleton, I'm not lying"

Brook protested. He looked at Logan and shouted, "You must believe me!!"

Of course Logan believed him...

However, the crewmates must be convinced.

So, Logan said: "A person's words may be able to deceive others, but the heart can't!! Let Laboon feel your emotion!"

With that said, Logan communicated the magic power of Clow Card.

The gigantic Laboon suddenly turned into a small whale that was only one meter long.

As soon as Logan stretched out his hand, the rubber arm made a circle on Laboon's body, pulling it back from the sea.

Brook was shocked: "Ah!! Laboon!!!"

"Don't worry, I'll use my abilities to make it smaller temporarily."

With that said, Logan threw Laboon directly at Brook, "Use your own method to let him know that you are his former partner."

Seeing that Laboon was thrown, Brook quickly caught it, fearing that Laboon would break.

But after being hugged by Brook, Laboon swayed nervously to the left and right, desperately trying to break free from Brook's arms.

"Ah! Let go of Laboon!!"

"Logan, this is not fair to Laboon!"

"His bones hurt Laboon!"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates shouted.

"Don't be impatient, I think he should be given a chance. If he can't prove it, it's not too late to drive him away

Logan's words made the crewmates quiet for a while.

"Use my own method...."

Brook looked at Laboon who was struggling in his arms, and he also understood that his current appearance was too scary, so he didn't blame Laboon.

After thinking for a while, Brook suddenly opened his mouth, and started singing

Yo ho ho ho ho... Yo ho ho ho ho

The moment this melody sounded from Brook's mouth, Laboon, who had been struggling wildly, suddenly settled down!!!

"Not good! Laboon was strangled by him!"

Usopp yelled.

Nami gave Usopp a punch in the head: "Idiot, can you stop talking nonsense!! Laboon has obviously quieted down!!"

Yo ho ho ho ho... Yo ho ho ho ho o .....

The melody continued, Laboon became restless again from being quiet!!!

He rocked up again!!!

It's just....., this time it's not a struggle, but an excitement!!

Usopp yelled again: "Hey Hey Hey!!! Laboon is fighting again!!!"

"No! That's not a struggle!!"

Zoro's eyes were sharp, he watched Laboon's state carefully, and didn't feel afraid from Laboon.

At this time, Chopper translated and said: "Laboon is very excited now, he feels a familiar feeling."

"So...is he really Laboon's partner?"

Franky rubbed his chin, analyzing excitedly.

Yo ho ho ho ho... Yo ho ho ho ho...

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Gather up all of the crew!

Could be today, could be tomorrow. Twilight dreaming.

No longer can we now see, shadow hands still waving free.

Endless aimless, this story on the uproarious seas!

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho

When the familiar singing sounded in Laboon's ears, the tears of whales flowed out of those black pupils...

"It's him! It's him!!!" Chopper yelled in surprise, Laboon is sure!! It is Brook's famous song!!!"

This time...

Even if they had doubts about Brook before, now they completely believe in Brook!!

Laboon called out Brook's name directly.....

Obviously, they knew each other before!!!

At least..., in Laboon's memory, there must be a crewmate named Brook!

"Laboon!!——'

Seeing that Laboon finally recognized him, Brook broke down in tears, hugged Laboon tightly, and pressed his bony cheeks that could no longer be warm to Laboon's face.

"Woooooooooooh..."

Laboon whined, and responded vigorously to Brook.

"OMG!!! THIS IS AMAZING...." Nami covered her cheeks, her heart was surging, she murmured, "When Logan decided to take Laboon away , none of us thought we could find Laboon's crewmate..."

Zoro nodded: "Yes! I was actually against it at the time."

"I think the same way..."

Sanji took a deep breath of the cigarette, filled with emotion

Watching Laboon and Brook recognize each other at this time, Sanji's eyes are also flushed...

Chopper cried and said, "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow , pitiful laboon, pitiful Brook"

"this is really..., ahhh, it's so touching!!! Hmm..., super!!"

Franky burst into tears, still doing his signature moves.

Luffy laughed happily: "Wow ha ha ha!!! This is the meaning of adventure!!!"

yo~~

Logan looked sideways...

He nodded: "That's right!! It is because of adventurers like our Straw Hat Pirates that we are able to realize other people's dreams again and again!!"

"etc!!!"

Suddenly, Nami shouted in horror, "I seem to have discovered something terrible!!!"

"What's wrong?"

Everyone looked at Nami.

Nami pushed the mirror in his hand forward, and said in horror: "Look, there is no reflection of him in the mirror...!!!"

Everyone subconsciously looked in the mirror~~

They saw Laboon suspended in the air upright...

As for Brook holding him...the skeleton is not even visible!!

"Ah! Look carefully, he doesn't even have a shadow!!"

Usopp also found problems.

"Ah! There is really no shadow!!!"

"Ghost....It must be a ghost!!"

Although I was moved by the things about Brook and Laboon, it doesn't mean that everyone is not afraid of ghosts

Brook also heard everyone's terrified words, he sighed, and then said slowly: "It's hard to say. I've been wandering in this sea for too long. Being a skeleton and having no shadow are two different things."

"My shadow was taken away by a man a few years ago..."

Brook started to talk about the shadow

When he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was not able to see the light, and suddenly felt sad~~

But he danced with a smile on his face.

"Today is really a good day, I met so many people."

"In this gloomy sea that knows no day and night..., the decades of drifting with the wind alone on this ship that doesn't even work with the rudder~

"I'm really lonely..., lonely and scared!! Sometimes I really want to die!!"

"Life is long, but please be happy! To me, you are happiness!!"

Saying so, Brook walked up to Luffy, said with a wry smile:

"Thank you for inviting me to join you, it's really a pleasure..."

"But I still have to decline!!"

Luffy was shocked: "Huh!? Why!?"

Brook said helplessly: "As I said just now, my shadow was taken away. I have to stay in this florian triangle to survive. I have to stay here to get my shadow back, waiting for the miracle one day!!"

"Hey! What are you talking about? It's too strange!!"

Hearing this, Luffy showed a sudden look, and shouted sonorously, "Who took your shadow? Let us help you get it back!!"
