Comic series: Starting from Pirates to Cultivate the True Self

In order to divert Brook's attention as quickly as possible and make him forget that he had abandoned him, Mo Xingchen shouted towards the sea:

"Lab! Brooke is here!"

An extremely huge humpback whale floated out of the sea, and with eyes larger than a warship, it stared at the people on the boat.

"Woo~~"

Brooke also saw the grown-up Rab at this time, and tears immediately filled her eyes. She danced and shouted excitedly,

"Lab! I'm Brooke! It's so great to see you again!"

However, Lab did not show much excitement, and another whale roar was heard.

"Woo~~"

Mo Xingchen looked at the communication between the man and the whale, which seemed like a chicken talking to a duck, and sighed, and explained to Brooke:

"You are in such a terrible state now that Lab can't recognize you. It's asking me where Brook is! Can you do something to make it remember you?"

Brooke pondered for a long time, then punched himself on the head and pulled out a shell from the lining pocket on his chest.

"I almost forgot, this is a sealed sound shell! There is a song stored in it, a song that my companions and I sang with our lives!

The Rumba Pirates' final chorus! It will surely remind Lab of us!"

After Brook finished speaking excitedly, he pressed the button on the sealed sound shell, and melodious music floated over the boundless ocean.

……

"Yo-ho-ho~ Yo-ho-ho

Yo ho ho ~ Yo ho ho

Bring Binx's wine to you.

Like the sea breeze, it follows its will and rides the waves.

On the other side of the sea,

The sunset is noisy,

The singing of birds,

Draw a circle in the air.

Goodbye Harbor, the land of silk.

Let’s sing a song, a sailing song.

The golden and silver waves also turned into splashing water.

We left because of the ocean.

Yo ho ho ho…"

As the familiar song sounded, Laboo recalled the time when he sailed with the Rumbar Pirates as a child, and Brook's figure at this moment gradually overlapped with the one in his memory.

Tears began to flow from the huge eyes.

"Woo~"

"Woo~~"

Brooke looked at the tearful Lab and remembered his companions singing loudly when they were about to die.

He tilted his head back and covered his eyes with one hand, but he couldn't hold back the tears that were bursting out and slowly flowed down through his fingers.

"I have listened to this song countless times during the 40 years I have been drifting alone on the dark, foggy sea!

I was the only one on the empty ship.

To be honest…

There isn't a day that I don't spend in pain...

There is no hope for the future...

That feeling of despair drives me crazy... Crazy enough to want to die

But I know Rab is waiting for us,

Waiting for us to fulfill the original agreement...

And today it finally heard this last song again.

Me! It’s great to be alive! Really! It’s so great to be alive!

Lieutenant General Mo, Arigato!!!"

The friendship between Brooke and Lab, which transcended race, and the true emotions expressed by them, deeply moved everyone present.

The soldiers with low tear points hugged each other and cried loudly, sincerely admiring the agreement between them that transcended life and death.

William also walked to Brooke's side, smiled with red eyes, and patted his shoulder to express his comfort and approval.

Mo Xingchen closed his eyes and listened to this song that he had played many times when watching anime before.

He exhaled a puff of cigar smoke and said with a smile:

"Ah, then you can stay on my warship and be a musician!"

"Arigato!!!"

"But you can play songs praising pirates on the Vice Admiral's ship!"

"Shhhh!!!"

"Forget it. I'll let you go this time for Lab's sake. But it's only this time. Don't do it again!"

“Hahahahahaha~~”

The soldiers were also amused by their superior's words, but they thought that with a musician on the warship, the subsequent voyage would not be so boring!

Mo Xingchen waved his hand.

"Destination: Sabaody Archipelago, let's go!"

This time, in addition to the sound of the engine starting, Brooke also cooperated by taking out his violin and playing a short piece of magnificent march.

Lab also sprayed a stream of water in response to the situation.

"Woo~~"

……

……

After leaving the Devil's Triangle, Mo Xingchen also thought of arranging a regular position for Brooke. He wouldn't let him be a temporary worker forever. He couldn't let his subordinates suffer any loss.

As a dignified vice admiral, I cannot afford to lose face like this.

I was planning to call Vice Admiral Tsuru to discuss this, but then I realized that the Sabaody Archipelago is quite close to the Navy Headquarters.

Since the New Year is coming soon, I might as well go back and bring gifts to Vice Admiral He. It would be better to do this in person.

Although Vice Admiral He certainly didn't care about his gift and would help, he still had to show proper etiquette when interacting with people.

...

As for the fact that Dragon, the leader of the revolutionary army, appeared on the warship in a dignified manner, no one cared at all. After all, Dragon followed Mo Xingchen when he went to the Sabaody Archipelago for the first time.

Most of the people on Mo Xingchen's warship were soldiers seconded by Garp from that mission.

These soldiers all knew that Dorag was the son of their old boss and the younger brother of their new boss.

The leader of the Revolutionary Army? What does that have to do with our navy! Our navy is here to capture and arrest pirates, okay?

Even many veterans respectfully called Dorag "Major General" when they saw him!

……

Near noon the next day, Mo Xingchen woke up from his meditation.

As I walked out of the captain's room, I saw William on the deck. He was sitting on a small stool and writing furiously at the table in his usual rest area.

Dorag sat in his usual seat, tilting his head and looking at the table with interest.

Mo Xingchen was confused and wanted to see what these two were doing, so he tiptoed and sneaked behind them.

Could it be that William is writing a love letter to a girl?

Just as Mo Xingchen was about to bend down and put his head closer to watch the fun, William's sharp eyes spotted a new figure appearing on the table. He covered what he was writing and turned around abruptly to look.

"Lieutenant General Mo!"

"Ahem~ Well, I just want to see what you are writing."

"Oh, I'm writing in my log."

Mo Xingchen looked at William with an indifferent expression, curled his lips with a look of disbelief, then turned his head to look at the serious Dorag and asked:

"journal?"

Dorag nodded affirmatively.

"Ok!"

When Mo Xingchen heard this, his desire to gossip was immediately extinguished, and he sneered.

"Who writes a diary if they are serious? Do you write a diary, Dorag?"

"I won't write, brother, will you write?"

"I definitely won't write it. Who can write their true feelings in a diary?"

"Can what is written still be called what is in your heart?"

"Despicable!" X2

Then Mo Xingchen and Dorag laughed without any sense of guilt, completely ignoring William who was blushing like a monkey's butt.

Good, good, good! You, a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters and a former commodore and leader of the Revolutionary Army, teamed up to bully a mere colonel like me. You have no shame at all!

"Aren't you bullying an honest person?"

William left a sad accusation, grabbed the diary on the table, covered his face and ran away crying.

"Drago, I saw that you were watching very enthusiastically just now, weren't you?"

"I just want to see how devious he is!"

"Hahahahahahahaha~" X2
