The lonely and desolate song sounded, which was particularly clear in this quiet dark purple sea and mist.
Various expressions appeared on the faces of the monster family members.
Feng Clay, Bellamy, Monet, Robin, Akin, and Tiga all looked in the direction of the sound with expressionless faces.
Perona threw herself into Kazan's arms, burying her head tightly and refusing to raise her head.
Reiju and Sugar frowned and followed the gazes of their brothers and sisters in a certain direction in the fog.
Kella clung to Shantang's side, holding her and shivering, her face turned pale, her lips were tight and she didn't dare to breathe out.
Willump and Ramos were lying on the deck, sleeping soundly, with no idea what was happening.
Caruso didn't show any signs of it, and seemed to be still dozing off.
As for Kazan, when I heard this voice and the melody of the song, I started to feel a little subtle.
There must be no other guy in the world who would appear in such a ghost place and sing "Binx's Wine".
Crunch...
The sound of the squeezing of wooden boards was getting closer and closer, and gradually, one could see a shadow approaching in the mist.
From the shape of the shadow, you can probably tell that it is a rather small ship.
How big is it?
It is almost comparable to Caruso's current physique, and is as big as an average naval warship.
It is a big guy among medium-sized ships and is close to the boundary of medium-sized and large ships.
"Yohohoho~ Today is a good day... I can actually see a living person."
Before I saw the person, I heard his voice first.
All members of the monster family frowned when they heard those words.
Living person?
Could it be that the person speaking is still a dead person?
"Interesting, what kind of monster is it? Can you imitate it..."
Feng Clay took a few steps forward, approached the railing, and looked at the position in front of him.
At this moment, Caruso had already passed by the ship, and he could cross over to the other ship by stepping over the railing.
As for the other ship... it was an abandoned ship that was dilapidated and could sink at any time, and it didn't look like there were people living on it.
"Eh? Monsters and ghosts?! Hey, I'm most afraid of those things."
"You just belong to that kind of thing, hey."
Kazan had already seen the talking thing. Well, as he expected, it was a skeleton.
Acting captain of the Lombard Pirates, fencer and musician, with a bounty of 33 million Baileys, "Nose Song" Brooke.
"This is so rude!"
As if being stimulated, the skeleton on the opposite side ran to the railing of the hulk with his leather boots, and officially appeared in the sight of everyone in the monster family.
"Would you like some bone broth Nissan?"
Monet looked at Brooke who suddenly appeared, and there seemed to be inexplicable excitement deep in his eyes.
It's like trying to use Brooke to research new dishes.
This look made Brooke shiver all over. He didn't expect such a beautiful young lady to have such cruel thoughts.
"Interesting, this world is really full of wonders."
Bellamy glanced up and down at Brooke, this magical creature.
Before meeting Brooke, who would have thought that there are still people who can survive with only a skeleton?
Akin looked at Brooke with a look similar to Bellamy's, both looking very interested.
Tiga didn't care about Brooke's appearance, as long as he made sure he had no ill intentions towards the monster family. The child didn't care about these things anymore. He only cared about the monster family.
"Hey, Bones over there, come and play on our boat. Just in time, I have a story to tell you."
"Eh? Can I come over as a guest? Then...I'm sorry."
Brooke didn't pay much attention to the various looks from other people except Monet. He took his purple crutch and stepped on the worn-out railing, then jumped up to the higher Caroso.
Snap.
The sound of Brook falling to the ground was subtle and crisp, and this alone could tell that he was not very heavy.
"Mina-san, Brooke, please give me some advice. This lady, can you show me your..."
"Mr. Bones, can you break a piece of your rib for me?"
While Brooke was still introducing himself and bowing to Robin to make a request, he was suddenly interrupted by Monet.
Brooke turned his head and saw that it was Monet, and his face suddenly turned pale, if he had a face at all.
Monet's burning eyes made him feel very uncomfortable. He suspected that... Monet wanted to cook himself.
"If possible, I would also like to study your body structure and do a few small experiments."
Not only Monet, but Reiju next to her also came forward, holding four tubes containing different solutions between the fingers of one hand.
Brooke:...
The style of this pirate group is a little strange.
Some people obviously have "unreasonable thoughts" about him, some people don't care about his existence, and some people obviously care more.
"Okay, although you can't see the sky, but counting the time, it should be evening now. Let's stay and eat. Can you eat?"
Kazan glanced at the younger brothers and sisters with different attitudes, then looked at Brooke and said softly.
"Of course, I still have a sense of taste, even though I'm just a skeleton, yo ho ho..."
Eating is not necessary for Brooke, otherwise he would have stopped eating in the thirty years since his resurrection.
"Nana, go cook first."
"Um."
Monet quietly glanced at Brooke's ribs, then turned and walked towards the dark building hidden in the mist behind the deck.
Even if you stand on the deck of Caruso, you can't see the appearance of the cabin unless you get closer.
"Let's go, Bones."
"Um...my name is Brooke."
"Call Bones Simple."
"...Okay, but are the two little girls okay?"
Brooke glanced at Perona, who was huddled tightly in Kazan's arms and did not dare to look at Brooke, and Kella, who was holding Sugar, with tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
"Don't worry, they are too timid. It just so happens that your presence can help them develop their courage."
"...This sentence...is inexplicably hurtful."
"Ah, by the way, I haven't said it yet, my name is Kazan."
Gu: "Okay, Mr. Kazan, by the way, your eyes are so scary. They scared me at first."
"There is a mirror in the restaurant. You can take a look at yourself later. Pepe will be scared when you look at me."
Kazan first rubbed Perona's little head in his arms, and then gently tugged on Perona's black princess dress.
The little girl shook her head, not wanting to come out at all, or in other words, she didn't want to see Brooke when she came out.
Kazan could only stretch out his arms to wrap his arms around the little girl, and walked towards the restaurant with Perona in his arms.
Thanks to Kazan's big size and Perona's small size, he could hold her like a child without feeling out of place at all.
Brooke followed Kazan, looked at Kazan's back, and glanced at the other people calmly, letting go of all his guard.
Brooke had never heard of Kazan, let alone the monster family, so he was unable to learn any information related to Kazan from the outside world.
But Brooke believes that Kazan is certainly not a bad person.
There are two reasons for this. One is that the other person has a persuasive spirit that makes it easy to fall in love with him. Brooke doesn't think that such a person would be willing to compromise with him.
Second, the people around him all respect or admire the man named Kazan in front of them, without exception.
If you don't have a certain degree of personality charm, you definitely won't be able to do this.
These two points made Brooke let down his guard against Kazan, and Kazan's current performance is obviously the boss of the ship, that is, the captain.
If Kazan had no thoughts about him, the crew members probably wouldn't touch him.
Although the green-haired woman and the pink-haired woman are really scary...
Brooke felt a hot gaze on his right rear, which was as hot as the green-haired woman just now.
Brooke could guess who it was without looking back. It was the pink-haired woman holding the medicine bottle in her hand.
certainly.
He didn't dare to look back.
After following Kazan's footsteps and approaching the cabin of the ship, Brooke was stunned for a moment, and then his upper eye sockets slightly pressed down, making an expression similar to a frown and a stare.
"This ship of yours is... incredible."
Brooke looked at the towering, strange-style, oppressive black building in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
Now, Brooke is sure.
These people around me are definitely not ordinary pirates.
The average pirate group does not have the financial resources to build such a ship, let alone the courage to drive such a ship.
Also, how could there be just a dozen people manning such a large ketch?!
Brooke carefully looked up at the building in front of him. There was a flag at the top of the building. It was the pirate flag that he had not noticed just now on the mast.
Now he could see clearly.
The eyes of the blood-eyed skull are like burning bloody flames. Two knives, one black and one red, are crossed behind the skull, and there are patterns dotted around the skull.
There are swans, snowflakes, fists, petals...
The blood-eyed skull plus these patterns happened to be exactly the same as the number of people he just observed. It seemed that each pattern represented a crew member.
He seems to be a good captain who cares about his crew.
Brooke glanced at Kazan's tall back again, and felt a little admiration for Kazan's move of adding everyone's logo to the pirate flag, from the bottom of his heart.
This kind of move would obviously make the pirate flag look nondescript, but the captain did it anyway and did not pull down any of it.
Brooke had never heard of a captain who could do this.
"Mr. Kazan, aren't you curious why I remain in this state? I see that your crew members are all very curious."
Brooke first glanced at Kazan, then tilted his head left and right to look at the members of the monster family who looked at him with different eyes.
Although the main meanings in the eyes are different, they all have varying degrees of curiosity.
"Huh? I'm not curious, it's just the power of the Devil Fruit."
Kazan turned his head and glanced at Brooke's exposed frame, then withdrew his gaze.
Although this skeleton body has many inconveniences, it also has advantages.
It's one thing to have a light body, but the body's force-bearing area is also small, and...
Without being able to see through the eyes, Brooke couldn't express what he was thinking in his heart.
Even... others don't know if Brooke is looking at him at this moment, or whether he is looking at his eyes or heart.
That is to say, Kazan still knows a little bit about what kind of person Brook is, otherwise he would not let such a guy on board.
"Oh? Then Mr. Kazan, can you guess what devil fruit it is?"
"There are quite a few Devil Fruits in this world that can bring the dead back to life, such as Shadow Fruit, Soul Fruit, Underworld Fruit..."
When he said this, a normal person would definitely have some expression on his face, but Kazan looked at Brooke.
As he thought, there was no expression on his face at all.
After all, there are nothing on the face except bones. Even if you make expressions, what you can do is limited.
"Although the Shadow Fruit and the Soul Fruit can resurrect people, they are not themselves, but you still remember the memories of your life, so... it must be the Underworld Fruit. This fruit has never really resurrected people.
If I guess correctly, you are the first known example."
Kazan was talking nonsense seriously, and began to make up reasons based on what he knew. He also looked at the expressions of the people around him, and then nodded.
Very good, everyone believes it, I must look very smart at this moment.
"Yes, Mr. Kazan guessed it right. I was resurrected with the help of the underworld fruit. It was really... a very strange experience."
Brooke nodded, confirming Kazan's guess, and Kazan's image suddenly became taller among the younger brothers and sisters.
Kazan also cooperated very well by holding up his chest and raising his head, showing that he was confident and under control.
As for the 'strange experience' that Brooke mentioned, Kazan saw that Brooke did not speak about it himself, so he did not ask.
Although Kazan felt a certain degree of curiosity about the "underworld" that Brooke might reach after his death, he still did not ask.
After all, it was someone's privacy, and his level of curiosity was limited.
Brooke followed Kazan all the way to the restaurant.
He expected that the dining place would be as huge and strange as the ship and the building, but the result was beyond his expectation.
This was a slightly lively small room, not crowded, but it was completely different from the ones he had seen before.
This warm atmosphere and environment made Brooke feel like he was in another place.
Brooke sat down at the dining table in a daze, looking at the hot dishes on the table and the monster family members who were tossing around the dining table, and felt a little overwhelmed for a while.
Is this the scene that should appear in the Terror Triangle?
You have to give this notoriously ferocious sea some respect.
"Let's eat. Do you want to go out?"
Kazan, who was sitting next to Brooke, glanced at Brooke next to him, especially at the afro on his head.
