Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

"Ahhh…!"

On the Thriller Bark.

A scream came from Luke's exclusive training ground.

A human-shaped black shadow was struggling there, and large parts of its body were like smoke, constantly disintegrating and dispersing.

"Failed again?"

Looking at the shadows flying out immediately after disintegrating.

Luke, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, caught it easily and didn't let it return to its owner.

"It looks like it's still a little bit worse..."

Robin, who had just finished training and was sweating profusely, came over.

She looked at Luke's handsome face and said with a smile: "However, it has been able to exist independently for three minutes, which shows that the effect is remarkable!'

"It shouldn't take long for you to succeed!"

Luke shrugged noncommittally.

"Luke-sama, we have arrived at Twin Capes..."

A zombie navigator ran over and reported there.

In fact, they don't need it to remind them.

Luke and Robin, as well as Wyper, Perona, Brook, and others, have all seen the majestic and steep Red Line.

There is also a huge, turbulent river that seems to fall from the sky.

And on the cliff on the side, there's a towering lighthouse.

In the distance, they can still see a parasol standing beside the coast.

A figure wearing a floral shirt was lying leisurely on a beach chair.

He covered his head with a newspaper and seemed to be asleep.

"Forty-five years later, I finally came back here..."

Brook burst into tears, then he shouted excitedly: "Laboon!"

"Um?"

The next second, the figure on the shore was awakened.

As a lighthouse keeper, Crocus looked at the giant ship coming slowly and was a little shocked: "What a huge ship!"

"But did someone just call Laboon just now?"

With surprise, Crocus scratched his head and stood up, looking at the Thriller Bark in front of him: "Moreover, the voice is a bit familiar... Could it be that I'm too old and started hallucinating?"

At this time, Brook jumped into the sea.

With his light body, he ran wildly on the sea surface, splashing a large amount of water.

"Yo ho ho ho, are you… Mr. Crocus?" He shouted towards Crocus, full of surprise.

"Is not this guy a little too excited?"

On the Thriller Bark.

Perona, who was a little disapproving, couldn't help but complain.

"After all, it is a wish that has lasted for decades, and the entrustment given by his companion before their death..."

Luke walked over, folded his arms, and said calmly: "Anyone will inevitably be a little excited!"

Wyper nodded; he felt the same way about this.

This is similar to when Luke directly returns to the Island of Gods, Upper Yard, and asks him to ring the golden bell to fulfill the agreement between the ancestors, the great warrior Kalgara and Noland.

Were he not like this at that time?

"Skeleton? You…"

On Twin Cape.

Watching the skeletons running at the sea surface, Crocus was startled at first, then stunned.

Thinking of something, his eyes suddenly widened: "Could it be..."

"I'm Brook! Mr. Crocus..."

Soon, he came to the coast.

Brook waved to Crocus and yelled: "Don't you recognize me?"

"What!?"

Crocus froze in place, then he looked at Brook in disbelief: "How did you become like this?"

"It's a long story. We failed. The Rumbar Pirates encountered an enemy who used poison and were completely wiped out..."

Brook sighed and said with a wry smile: "Because I'm the user of the Revive-Revive Fruit, I was able to come back from death. However, I was trapped in the Devil's Protagonist Sea for dozens of years!"

"Thanks to... Lord Yasuo, I was able to get what I wanted: leave that sea area and return to Twin Capes!"

"So that's what it is..."

Crocus shook his head and sighed a little: "No wonder, when I went to sea with the Roger Pirates and searched everywhere for information about you, I couldn't find it!"

This was actually within his expectations.

He have asked pirates, mercants, and adventurers who broke into the Grand Line countless times to inquire about the Rumbar Pirates, but he have not found their whereabouts.

Many years ago, he followed the Roger Pirates and searched Grand Line in person.

But there has been no news about the Rumbar Pirates.

He had already guessed that something had probably happened to the Rumbar Pirates.

But Laboon is more stubborn.

He just doesn't want to believe it.

"I just don't know if Laboon can still recognize you..."

Seeing Brook's appearance, Crocus said helplessly.

He didn't expect Brook to be resurrected in such a posture.

Devil Fruit, these secret treasures of the sea, are indeed the most magical things in the world.

"Ang~~~Ang~~~"

At this time, on the sea, waves surged.

A huge whale emerged from the bottom of the sea.

But its head was covered with shocking and ugly scars that made people's scalp numb.

Then, it opened its mouth wide and let out a deafening roar.

"Laboon!" Brook cried with tears streaming down his face.

The skull was also opened directly, and a sound shell was taken out.

"I'm Brook, I'm back, don't you recognize me?"

He was full of excitement and sobbed: "I'm very sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I will complete the agreement with you on behalf of everyone!"

"Ang~~~Ang~~~"

“Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho,

Gather up all of the crew!

It's time to ship out Binks' Brew!

The wind blows to where, who knows?

The waves will be our guide!"

As Brook pressed the play button on the shell.

After decades, the chorus of the Rumbar Pirates echoed in this sea area again.

"Ang~~~Ang~~~"

Laboon's cry echo.

But inexplicably, people can feel it is both happy and sad.

Obviously, it really recognized Brook even after he turned into a skeleton.

"Laboon, do you really recognize me?" Brook yelled loudly.

"Ang~~~Ang~~~"

The sea surges as Laboon responds.

The huge whale eyes seemed to shed tears.

Luke, Robin, Wyper, and others who stayed on the Thriller Bark and watched this scene from a distance without disturbing them couldn't help but feel a little incomprehensible.

"Woooo, I'm so happy; I thought you couldn't recognize me..."

Brook fell to his knees and cried bitterly there: "I'm sorry! You have been waiting for us to come back for so long, but we failed to fulfill our agreement!"

"Ang~~~Ang~~~"
