Chapter 351 The Most Important Thing
As the whale being visited, Lab also found it very strange. A group of friends suddenly saying they wanted to take a tour in your stomach is like suddenly telling you that your blood vessels can accommodate a bunch of handsome men, beautiful women and little girls. It is too weird.
Lab only knew that Kurokas had made some changes to him, but he had no idea what exactly happened, and he had no idea that there was something else going on in his stomach.
Now he could only float on the sea obediently with his eyes wide open innocently, not daring to move or shout, for fear that he would accidentally digest all his friends.
After waiting for them to come out, Lab carefully counted and found that no one was missing, especially Brooke was completely fine, so he was relieved. He stared at them curiously, wanting to know what his stomach looked like.
"Yohoho~ Do you know, Lab?" Brooke excitedly talked about what he saw, "Your stomach is very big, like a sea..."
Laboo hummed in response. So this is what a whale's stomach looks like. After Brooke's introduction, Laboo's erroneous knowledge increased.
…
A few days passed, the interesting places were visited, everyone had a great time and rested enough, Shark Chili checked the Amber inside and out and found no problems, so the Amber Tour Group prepared to set off again.
But before that, there is one more important thing.
"The original agreement was to send you to the Twin Capes, and now it has been completed." Zhang Da also said to Brooke: "So what are your plans next? How about taking Rab with us on the trip?"
Not far away, Tom was having fun with Lab. Lab took a deep breath and dived slightly underwater, then spurted out with force. Immediately, a fountain appeared on the sea surface. Tom was pushed up into the sky by the fountain and kept spinning in the air.
After eight o'clock, the water column disappeared, and Tom fell from the air to the sea. He broke into seventeen or eighteen pieces and sank down, then was picked up by Rab.
Then Tom bounced back to life, patting Rab on the back and urging him to do it again.
Generally speaking, what whales spray out is actually the waste gas from their bodies, not a column of water, and it may even be dangerous for people to get too close.
But under Lab's intentional control, it was still possible to blow up the sea water above the blowhole to use it as a fountain for Tom to play with.
Having not had a companion for forty years, he never gets tired of playing this little game.
Brooke watched Rab and Tom play and asked unconsciously, "Is this OK?"
Zhang Da also nodded: "Of course, Tom likes Lab very much, and everyone likes him too. And everyone hopes to continue traveling with you, wake up to your music every day, exercise to your music, and ask you to play lullabies when you can't sleep. If you want to see panties, we can also help you wake up your brain..."
“Yohohoho~” Brooke laughed happily but sadly. He finally stopped talking and said solemnly, “Thank you very much for your care. I have caused you a lot of trouble during this period…”
Perona heard Brook's tone and said in panic, "What? Skull! Are you leaving? I won't put salt in your teacup or throw banana peels at the door of your room. Even if you want to see your panties, I won't..."
I can also hit you a little less... Of course, it's not that I can't bear to part with you, it's that everyone wants you to think about it carefully!"
"Ah...it seems like I know something incredible." Brooke had an expression as if he had solved a case. No wonder the black tea tasted so bad a few times, and no wonder he almost broke his old bones when he returned to the room once. It turned out that the culprit was here.
Zhang Daye bent his fingers and tapped Perona on the head. This girl actually did so many good things.
Perona looked at Brook with her hands on her head and tears in her eyes. Although she always called him a pervert and a pervert, he actually didn't do anything excessive. She was still sad to see him leave so suddenly.
Wendy held Xia Lulu in her arms and looked at Brooke expectantly. How could they be separated after being together for several months? Both Wendy and Xia Lulu found it hard to accept.
"It's sad to say this, but I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on the rest of the journey." Brook looked at Rab. He had already thought about what he should do in the past few days. This was very important to him:
"Next, I will stay at the Twin Capes and accompany Mr. Kulokas with Laboo for a while. Then we will go to the South Sea and the East Sea to take a look. We promised to take Laboo on an adventure when he grows up. Now it's time for me to fulfill my promise on behalf of my friends."
Wendy couldn't help but say: "Such a thing, even with us..."
Zhang Da also reached out and held Wendy's head, and said softly: "Okay Wendy, the next journey belongs to Brook and Lab, or in other words, to the Rumba Pirates, not our Amber Tour Group."
"But..." Wendy pouted, not knowing what to say.
"What weird things are you talking about!" Perona hit Zhang Daye's waist with her head in dissatisfaction, "Why don't we just go together? What does this have to do with some group?"
"Brooke has his own plans, and we just need to support him."
"Huh, you're saying these inexplicable things. I plan to not do my homework and eat three desserts every day. Will you support me?"
"Yes, but if you do that then I intend to pin you to the ground and spank you."
"I'm not going to pay attention to you!" Perona's face turned red with anger, and she ran back to the boat sulking.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Tatsuya," Brook said. "Although we will be separated for a while, if there is any place where Lab and I are needed, we will definitely be there."
"I also want to say this to you. If you encounter any problems, remember to contact us." Zhang Da also said, "You know our strength. Even if you are caught by Big Mom to sleep with her, we can still find a way to save you."
Brook held his face with his hands and made an exaggerated expression: "Don't say such terrible things, Mr. Tatsuya!"
In fact, Brooke slightly concealed his true purpose.
He then went to the East China Sea and the South China Sea to look for Captain Yuchi and his companions who had forced their way into the Calm Belt. They had forced their way into the Calm Belt from the Paradise and could only reach the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Brook had been to the East China Sea once and had not heard any useful news. This time he planned to go to the South China Sea to look for them.
Since there has been no news, it means that they are very likely still alive. Maybe they are lost somewhere like him, or maybe they have encountered some trouble, so they haven't come to Twin Cape for so many years. Brooke will not be satisfied if he doesn't go to confirm it himself.
The reason why he didn't say it directly was because Brook knew that Zhang Daye and the others also had their own goals, which was to go to Alabasta to find someone. However, a lot of time had already been wasted in sending him back, and Brook didn't want to cause them any more trouble for the next thing.
In addition, as Zhang Da also said, the next journey should belong to the Rumbar Pirates, although the current members are only Brook and Lab, a pet, lifeguard, and occasionally the ship's captain, although they may not continue to travel as pirates.
…
Parting is always sad. There is a widely circulated saying in this world: "A man's parting does not require tears."
However, the first person to say this sentence in the comics should be Usopp when he was bidding farewell to the Merry. As a result, not only did he cry uncontrollably, but countless people in front of the screen also cried.
And now, girls like Rui Mengmeng, Wendy and Xia Lulu were waving and crying loudly. Perona, who had been hiding in the room and making a fuss, finally ran out and joined them.
Even Tom kept wiping his tears with his white handkerchief, waving his hand around after wiping, and then wiping again after waving for a while.
"Take care, Brooke and Lab!" Shark Chili shouted loudly, and let everyone know that the B series robots actually have the ability to shed tears.
"Everyone take care of yourselves!" Brooke stood on Rab's head and waved his arms, trying hard to hold back his tears. He had promised Rab that he would not cry anymore.
“Woo-ah~~~~~”
"By the way, Mr. Tatsuya, and everyone else!" Before leaving, Brook seemed to suddenly think of something and took out a flag he carried with him. It was the token that Zhang Tatsuya suggested he take with him when leaving the horror barque to recognize Lab. It was no longer needed now.
Brook shouted, "Forty years ago, the Rumba Pirates were annihilated. From now on, Lab and I will no longer fly the pirate flag!"
The tattered pirate flag burned up in the flames and fell into the sea.
Laboo chirped softly, but there was not much sadness in his voice.
It doesn't matter whether there is that black pirate flag or not. The real flag of the Rumba Pirates is in their hearts, in their memories, and in that little sound shell.
And after experiencing the separation of life and death - the separation of life and death in the true sense, Brooke figured out a lot of things.
For him and Lab, the most important thing is not the identity of pirates nor the flag, but simply being able to reach each other.
Zhang Daye looked at the small fire in the distance and smiled with relief. "Return to Lab" was Brook's promise to his former companions, and "Don't be a pirate anymore" was Brook's promise to Zhang Daye.
Brooke has done both of these things very well. He really values his promises more than anything else, and people like him more and more.
…
Watching the shadow of the Amber gradually disappear, Brooke turned to Kulokas and said, "Well, for the next period of time, Lab and I may have to continue to disturb you, Mr. Kulokas."
"Woo~Woo~" Lab called affectionately.
Kurokas folded his arms and smiled, "I couldn't ask for more. If I were to take Lab away all at once, I would feel lonely too."
