Chapter 186 Brook: Even though I am a pirate, I will not attack you
Because Brooke had a bad mouth, he gave him a little lesson, but he didn't have to do anything to him. In the end, he invited him to sit in the bar.
The small bar was built on the top floor of the Amber. It was smaller than the pub he opened on the island. In addition to various types of wine, it also had black tea, green tea, juice and soda.
Zhang Da also specially brought the tavern's sign on board and hung it in the bar. It was made by Uncle Goodman when the tavern first opened, so it was quite commemorative.
In front of Brook at this moment was a cup of black tea and some imitation Fishman Island snacks.
The real snacks from Fishman Island had been eaten long ago, and these were specially made by Tom for Brook as an apology gift - Tom just took advantage of the chaos to stuff two cloves of garlic into Brook's mouth.
Being a polite cat, Tom confirmed that Brooke was a human and said he wanted to make something of his specialty to apologize to him.
Brooke, who got beaten, didn't seem angry at all. He happily tasted the food that Tom made specially for him: " Mr. Tom's cooking skills are really great. I haven't eaten such delicious food in decades. It's so delicious that I almost swallowed my tongue. Ah, although I don't have a tongue anymore, yo roo roo roo~"
Hearing Brook's unique skeleton jokes, Zhang Da also smiled knowingly, as this was a style he was familiar with.
"Oh hahahahaha~" Tom's sense of humor is a little low, and he laughed so hard that he fell to the ground and pounded the floor.
Of course, not everyone can find his sense of humor funny. For example, Rui Mengmeng finds it quite creepy. It is not easy to get used to skeletons that can talk.
Altria was not in the mood to pay attention for the moment. She was busy finishing her own snack. When it came to food, Tom would never forget Altria.
In contrast, whenever Altria used her pocket money to buy delicious food, she would often share it with Tom.
"Being able to share food with each other" is probably proof that they have a good relationship.
Shark Chili has already hidden away, not because he is afraid of the skeleton, but because he is worried about Brooke's singing. In order not to be so rude, he even made up an excuse that he needed to watch the course.
"How can you be so optimistic even though you've become like this? Is it a side effect of resurrection?" Ye Yan held his chin. According to common sense, resurrection is simply impossible. Even if it can be done, there should be some price.
Everyone drank their favorite drinks while asking Brooke their curious questions.
"No, the side effect of the devil fruit is just turning into a landlubber. I became like this because after my soul returned from Hades, I thought I just had to float back to my body, but I got lost in this sea. It took me a full year to find my body, and by that time, only bones were left."
"It's amazing that only bones are left and he can be resurrected, and he can even drink water and eat food." Rui Mengmeng was curious to see if the tea that Brook drank would leak out.
"Yohoho, it's good enough to be alive. At least I still have a chance to fulfill the dreams of my lost companions, and... a certain promise." Brook finished the last bit of black tea, stood up and bowed:
"Thank you all for your hospitality. Today is the happiest day of my forty years since my resurrection. It is so great to meet you all here. But please forgive me for being so presumptuous. Before I say goodbye, I would like to borrow some tools from you to repair the rudder. Please!"
"Repair the rudder?" Zhang Da was also a little confused. Shouldn't he request to join the group and leave together?
"In the battle more than forty years ago, not only did all the members of our Rumbar Pirates die, but our ship was also severely damaged, even the rudder was broken. Because we couldn't turn the rudder and could only drift with the current, we were trapped in this sea for forty years." Brook explained the reason for borrowing tools. If he hadn't met anyone for all these years, he would have wanted to leave here early to fulfill his companions' last wish.
It was only then that Zhang Daye noticed that there was a shadow under Brook's feet. This meant that he couldn't leave not because his shadow was taken away, but because the boat was broken?
In the original timeline, Brook's shadow was taken away five years later, and the incident was caused by his boarding Moria's Thriller Bark in order to find tools and materials to repair the rudder.
But this is not very important. Anyway, they have decided to confront Moria. Zhang Da also said: "If you just want to leave here, we can give you a ride."
Brooke was pleasantly surprised: "Really? Thank you so much!"
"Tatsuya, he just said he's a pirate." Altria had just heard the words Rumba Pirates. Thinking about it carefully, although the sail of the ship that Brook was on was tattered, you could still vaguely see a skull painted on it.
"I am indeed a pirate. I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I am Brook, the acting captain of the Rumbar Pirates, and the bounty is 33 million berries." Brook even took out the bounty order he had during his lifetime and continued, "Although I am a pirate, I have my own persistence. I will never attack ordinary people and benefactors. Since you are in trouble, I will leave immediately."
This was a powerful statement, but there might be some misunderstanding about the strength of both sides. Zhang Da also said: "Well, we are from a small tavern in the Sabaody Archipelago. We are part-time bounty hunters. We have caught pirates worth 30 or 50 million. You have seen the group of monsters just now. What you should worry about is whether we will attack you."
“Hey? Hey???!!!”
Brook reacted all at once, because at first he saw that this ship was not a pirate ship, and then the atmosphere of drinking tea and chatting was so good, plus he had been alone for decades and was so eager to communicate with others, that he accidentally mistook this group of people for ordinary people.
Now think about it carefully, among the eight monsters that pinned him down before, he was confident that he could defeat only two or three of them at most.
"So, it was actually me who was in danger?" Brook fell to his knees and said dejectedly, "If there is an afterlife, I hope to become a lapdog..."
Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Ye Yan said, "You don't have to be so depressed. Is this depression or abnormality?"
Zhang Da also felt that this line sounded familiar: "Something's wrong..."
The next second, a small white translucent ghost passed through Zhang Daye's body.
Zhang Da also squatted in the corner: "I am obviously regarded as the master by Tom, but in fact I have always been dependent on Tom for support. What's the use of me..."
Tom was frightened the moment he saw the ghost. When the ghost flew towards him, he was even scared to death. A soul numbered 1 hugged Tom's waist tremblingly. Then a soul numbered 2 appeared, and then a soul numbered 3, and so on, all the way up to number 9, trembling in an orderly manner behind Tom.
When the little white ghost defeated ten people at once and nine souls returned instantly, Tom pounded the floor and cried. Although no one could understand his crying, Tom was probably saying that a cat that was kicked out of the house because it "couldn't catch mice" was really unqualified.
Things are not over yet, three more little ghosts flew towards Altria, Rui Mengmeng and Ye Yan respectively...
