Pirates: The first companion is Tom Cat

Kurokas asked Raab the question he wanted to know the most: "How are the rest of the Rumba Pirates?"

In fact, seeing Brook's current appearance, Kulocas already had a bad guess. After thinking about it carefully, it is not the Rumba Pirates who came this time, but the recently famous Amber Tour Group in the East China Sea... I am afraid that the Rumba Sea Thieves have long since ceased to exist, have they?

Facing this question, Brook opened his skull in silence, took out his treasured sound shell, and lightly pressed the play button.

The last ensemble and chorus of the Rumba Pirates came from the small soundbar. Rab jumped up when he heard the sound of the music, and carefully swam on the sea like he was a child, and followed the rhythm with a "woo~woo~" response Voice.

Brook watched this scene with mixed feelings, and couldn't help picking up his beloved violin.

The sound of the piano kept up with the melody in the tones, and the scene in front of Brook kept changing. The dead companions stood beside him again and played their respective instruments. Small whales the size of two people, swimming and churning in the waves with their music...

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho, Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho..."

Rab leaned against the shore, and the captain and Brook stroked Raab's head together: "No matter how many times I look at it, I think Brooke's hairstyle is exactly the same as Rab's head!"

Brook scratched his hair: "Isn't that great? Yohohoho~"

"Binks Wines"

The crew clinked glasses with each other: "Cheers to Brook for eating the landlubber fruit!"

Brook subconsciously clinked his glasses, and then immediately shouted: "That's no reason to toast! And it's the fruit of the underworld!"

"Facing the wind and the storm"

The Rumba Pirates held a swimming competition, and a mischievous crew member rode on Rab: "Come on, Rab! Don't lose to those guys!"

Brooke, who was unable to compete, stood on the boat and raised his fist: "Give me a good game, don't use Rab to cheat!"

"Under the clear sky my favorite flag is flying"

After repairing at Gemini Cape, the Rumba Pirates set sail again: "Rab, in two or three years, we will complete a round of travel around the world, and then climb over the Upside Down Mountain again, and return to this place. By then, your body should have changed. Get big and strong, and then let's go on an adventure together!"

"This sea really can't be judged by common sense at all, I can't bear it! Come and sing a song, just sing that song!"

"I don't know how Captain Yuqi's illness is, whether he has successfully crossed the windless zone. But we will inherit his will and continue on this new ship until we see Rab!"

"There's poison on their weapons...even the ship's doctor is dead...haha...are we going to wipe out the whole army?"

"I'm going to die anyway, so why not leave happily? How about it? Do you want to come and sing? If I can really be resurrected, I will definitely bring this sound shell back to Twin Cape!"

...

In the second half of the music, the number of players decreased one by one, and Rab made an anxious sound. He seemed to see the phantoms around Brook disappearing one by one, saw the adventure journey of the Rumba Pirates, and also saw the four The scene where the companions fell one by one during the performance ten years ago.

He tried sadly to stay, but there was nothing he could do.

Rab is a very smart island whale. Listening to the changes in the music, he already guessed what Brook wanted to tell him, but he would rather not be so smart. The grief that came was drowned out.

Familiar figures and interesting memories kept appearing and disappearing in Rab's mind. All the members of the Rumba Pirates waved goodbye to Rab with smiles. Rab tried to swim forward, but no matter what Can't touch them.

Swimming, swimming, Rab's scarred head touched the shore, the cold and hard touch of the rocks on the red earth continent pulled him back to reality, Rab's big eyes were full of confusion and sadness.

He retreated habitually, with his huge tail swinging, wanting to hit the red earth continent as before, but this time it was not to crash through the red earth continent to find a partner on the other side, but just to vent after being sad, to Numb yourself with pain.

Brooke is still playing the violin, and only Brooke's piano accompaniment is left in the soundtrack. Brooke forty years ago and Brooke now seem to be performing an ensemble across time and space face to face. All past and present feelings are passed on to Raab.

Rab was stunned. He understood Brook's feelings, the joy of reuniting after a long absence, the sadness of losing his companion, the regret of not being able to fulfill the agreement, and the worry about him over the years...

But the most important thing is that Raab understood the last message left by the Rumba Pirates in the song-"We ended this trip cheerfully and happily."

This is the meaning of this recording left by the Rumba Pirates. As pirates, they have long been prepared to die in battle one day. Everyone will have this day, and there is nothing terrible about dying.

The only thing they worry about is that they can't fulfill the agreement with Rab, and they must be very sad when they learn of their deaths, right?

They are the Rumba Pirates who can make crying children laugh. How can they make their companions who are waiting for them cry after death?

So they exhausted their last vitality and left Raab this "unprecedented and unprecedented" chorus of the Rumba Pirates, telling him:

"Although we left, we walked away with a smile, and please continue to live with a smile in the future..."

Brooke knew the meaning of this song, so in the past forty years, every time he felt lonely, he would take out the sound shell and listen to it. A gift for Rab, a gift for him.

Shark Pepper was the first to understand this song, so he listened to a complete song for the first time on the horror three-masted sailing ship without running away. Playing and singing, even Tom is difficult to replicate.

As a partner of the Rumba Pirates, Rab also understands this song now, so he did not hit the rock wall in the end, he will not intentionally hurt himself again, and he will try his best to fulfill the last wish of his companions - to live well Go down and live with a smile on your face...with Brooke.

Raab listened to the last note quietly, and stared at Brooke who put down his violin in silence.

Finally Rab opened his mouth slightly: "Woo~~~"

"I understand, Rab! I understand!" Brooke's tears welled up again, and he raised his hand holding the bow and wiped it with his sleeve:

"You still have me here! Speaking of which, I'm really worthless, and I need you to comfort me at this time. However, not only you have me here, but I also have you here!"

"Woo~~~" Rab laid his body flat and leaned against the shore, as if inviting Brooke to go up.

"Yes, this is the last time I cry." Brooke wiped away the tears, and hopped lightly onto Rab's back, "Then, let me play a song for you, and sing your favorite song!"

"Woo~woo~" Rab carried Brook steadily as before, swimming on the sea.

The sound of violins, singing, and whales resounded through Cape Twins.

...

When Brook and Rab were playing in the sea, Kulokas asked about Brook's experience, and also told everyone in the amber tour group about Rab's past.

Among them, of course, is the origin of those scars on Raab's head.

"Huh? Were those scars left by the impact on the red earth continent?" Wendy touched her head and said sympathetically, "It must be very painful, right?"

"His body is too big, and he can't go back to the west sea on the other side of the red earth continent through the canal. He can only hit the mountain wall with his head day after day." Kurokas said, looking at the towering upside-down mountain, " Raab is more afraid of the meaninglessness of his waiting than the pain."

Rui Mengmeng said: "But he has been waiting for so many years, since he believes that his companion will come back, is it really okay to hurt himself?"

"This... is actually my responsibility." Kulocas said with some guilt, "I have confirmed through 'reliable channels' that the Rumba Pirates have escaped from the Great Route. After telling Rab about this , he didn't want to believe it, so he became irritable, and wanted to go to the opposite side of the Red Earth Continent to confirm it for himself..."

"Reliable channels" means that he once boarded Roger's ship as a ship doctor, and during several years of voyage, he inquired about the news that the Rumba Pirates had escaped from the great route.

Perona said dissatisfied: "What kind of reliable channel is that, it is obviously fake news."

"Probably, I killed Raab." Kulocas himself was not sure.

"No." Zhang Da also interjected, "That news should be true."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and Zhang Da also explained: "Brook once said that because the original captain of the Rumba Pirates, 'Plain White Cloth' Yuki, and a dozen other crew members were infected with infectious diseases, so the original pirate The ship forcibly breaks through the windless zone, ready to leave the great route."

"The rest of the crew, led by Brook, continued to take risks in the new ship, and later disappeared in the Devil's Triangle waters. The fact that their entire army was wiped out is unknown to the outside world."

"So the news that Mr. Kulocas received refers to the fact that Yuki and the others left the great route on the ship of the Rumba Pirates. It cannot be regarded as false news. Mr. Kulocas did not deceive Rab, so there is no need Too guilty."

"Thank you for your comfort." Kurokas also smiled at Zhang Da, and said, "But having said that, Raab has indeed suffered for a long, long time because of my information."

"Yohohoho~ Please don't worry about it, Mr. Kulocas!" Brook returned to the shore in Rab, "Rab didn't blame you. On the contrary, I want to thank you for taking care of Rab on behalf of my companions." For a long time, thank you for collecting information about us for Rabette."

Brooke jumped onto the shore, took off his top hat and bowed softly: "Thank you very much!"

"Woo~woo~" Rab responded with a brisk voice.

"Really?" Kulokas smiled, "It's very kind of you to say that. Also, congratulations on your reunion after a long absence!"

"Woo~ woo~"

"Thank you!" Brooke thanked Zhang Daye and the others again, "Thank you for taking care of me all the way. Without you, I don't know when I will be able to see Rab. This kind of kindness is really great. Grateful!"

I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting for a long time. The matter is considered to have come to an end. Unfortunately, it happened to be an uncomfortable chapter. I will turn over the unpleasant chapter as soon as possible, in every sense
