Seat of the Void

Chapter 123 The Man Cursed by the Sea

After a noisy night, everyone in the Rocks Pirates finally regained their tranquility.

There were snores from every corner of the ship.

Rocks was sitting in a corner of the banquet hall, eating breakfast quietly, listening to Brook's lyrical piano music.

"Hey, Brooke, you went to sea a long time ago. Have you ever heard of the name Rocks D. Gibeck?"

Rocks suddenly asked Brooks

"Yo Ho Ho Ho, Rocks."

"That was the overlord of all the pirates in the sea at that time. With his own strength and charm, he gathered a group of terrifying monsters by his side."

"At the beginning, almost all the pirates on the great route were under his name, and they were trembling."

Brooke recalled some things about Lockes D. Gibeck at that time, and slowly told Lockes.

"Ah, by the way, speaking of which, you have the same name as that Rocks. Do you have any relationship?"

Brook seemed to have finally reacted, and looked at Lockes curiously.

"Heh, I have nothing to do with that Rocks. However, we all have the same goal."

Lockes chuckled and answered Brook's doubts.

"Yo Ho Ho, the same goal. That's really a great ideal."

"Speaking of which, it has passed, so many years have passed, has that Rocks achieved his goal?"

"Hmph, he was too hasty. He wanted to challenge the world government with a group of guys who were at odds with each other, and who refused to obey each other. He was defeated as a matter of course. He also joined hands with Garp and Roger, and ended up in a situation where his life and death were unknown. end."

Lockes snorted coldly, expressing his disdain to the other Lockes.

Although the other Lockes is powerful and has outstanding personal charm, Lockes still looks down on him.

"Yohohoho! That's such a pity. Obviously a super interesting guy. But, Roger? I remember when I went to sea, he seemed to be a newcomer. Did he become so strong later?"

Brook felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that a rookie at the beginning would be able to join forces with others to defeat the invincible super pirate at that time.

And as a senior, he was actually wiped out by others in the first half of the great route.

"Hahaha, rookie."

Hearing Brook's evaluation of Roger, Rocks laughed happily.

"Yes, compared to you, he was indeed just a newcomer at that time."

"Last night, we were attacked by a pirate named Davy Jones, have you heard of him?"

"Davy Jones?!"

"The captain of the Flying Dutchman!"

"How is it possible! That guy should have been buried in the sea long ago!"

Hearing Davy Jones' name, Brook cried out in surprise, and the piano music in his hand changed its tone for a moment.

"Ah, it's indeed Davy Jones. That's what Jhin called him when he fought against him."

Lockes didn't care about Brook's shock, and simply talked about the match between Jhin and Davy Jones last night, and at the same time informed Brook of the opponent's appearance.

After listening, Brook fell silent.

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a great pirate named Davy Jones. He took his men and drove the Flying Dutchman to the end of the first half of the great voyage. underfoot."

"And when he got there, Davy Jones suddenly went crazy."

"One stormy night, he killed all his men and threw them into the sea."

"After killing all his subordinates, he blew up his ship and sank into the depths of the sea together with the ship."

"Some people say that because he killed his partner, he was cursed by the sea and lost the right to die. He can only live in the sea forever and endure the punishment of the sea that he can never go ashore."

"According to legend, the only way to kill him is to find the undead chest where his heart is buried and pierce his heart."

"However, since his heart is the cursed punishment of the sea, no one can find the dead chest."

Brooke told Lockes all the legends about Davy Jones he knew.

"Furthermore, Davy Jones' men also own a huge sea monster. Therefore, almost all the ships he targets are pulled into the bottom of the sea."

It's okay not to mention the Kraken, the giant monster of the deep sea. When it is mentioned, Lockes wants to laugh.

That big octopus provided a rich supply of meat for the Lockes Pirates.

His long tentacle of hundreds of meters is enough to feed the whole group for several days.

Not to mention, all its tentacles?
"Don't worry, its deep sea monster has been beaten to death by Jhin."

Now that he knew some information about Davy Jones, Lockes stopped paying attention to him.

After all, he is just a mere Davy Jones, and he doesn't deserve too much attention from Rocks.

Lockes was interested in him because he felt that he was very similar to the characters in the movie called Pirates of the Caribbean that he had watched.

After finishing all the breakfast in front of him, Lockes looked at Brook.

"Do you want to join my pirate team?"

Facing Lockes' sudden invitation, Brook visibly trembled.

"Yo, yo ho ho ho, I, can I join your pirate group, I'm just a worthless skeleton"

Brook lowered his head in frustration, looked at his bony palm, and tears flowed out of his empty bony eye sockets unconsciously.

"I am useless, my strength is low, and I look scary, can I still be eligible to join!"

Rox walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Brooke, no one in this world is useless."

"Besides, when I invite a partner, I don't only care about his strength. I only invite the guy I'm interested in."

"Besides, you have a wealth of knowledge and know many stories that I don't know. Besides, your music performance is very good! I hope that every banquet I have in the future can have such a good music from you." The musicians come to play."

Brooke was even more excited when he heard Lockes' words of approval.

In this sea area, he has been drifting alone for so many years, and he is extremely eager for companions.

But because of his appearance, he felt deeply inferior.

Now, he has met a man who recognizes him and is willing to invite him to be his partner.

Brook got up slowly, then faced Lockes, and half-kneeled directly on the ground.

"In Lower Brook, I used to be the acting captain of the Rumba Pirates. At that time, I was offered a reward of 3000 million Baileys. He has the title of Nasal Brook!"

"Now, thanks to Captain Lockes' invitation to join the Lockes Pirates."

"From now on, I, Brooke, will definitely sacrifice my life for Captain Lockes, to help the captain realize his dream!"

As he spoke, Brook took out a piece of his previous reward order from his pocket and handed it to Lockes.

Lockes took the reward order, glanced at it, and then solemnly put him away.

"Ah, welcome to join us, Brooke."

With that said, Rocks helped him up.

"From now on, we will be partners."

　Brooke: Yohoho, everyone, can I see your fat times?
