Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Because this person is unpredictable."

Just by hearing the words of the bald five elders, the other four knew who was in the information in front of them.

"That [Tianshi]?"

The bald Five Elders placed the sword in his hand on his leg and said:

"After searching for so long, we still can't find any clues about that guy. I think those guys from CP0 are starting to slack off."

"No matter who he is, at least we know that he is not on the side of God." The blond Five Elders also sounded a little annoyed: "Following a kid who wants to be the Pirate King and has connections with the Revolutionary Army, he has such a fast progress."

“It’s just terrible to feel like you don’t have control.”

On the other side, seeing that everyone knew who he was talking about, the bald Five Elders also spoke directly:

"It's not just him who is able to grow rapidly. From the time they set out to the sea until now, not even half a year has passed, and everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates seems to be getting stronger without regard for time."

"At the beginning, even Kake was able to corner the Straw Hats, but it's only been a short time. They only need four people to hold off Kuzan for a while."

"And so much time has passed since the Judicial Island incident. Who knows how big they will grow and what kind of people they will find to join them."

The bald Five Elders threw the latest information of the Straw Hat Pirates on the table, looked around at everyone and said, "Besides, our goal is far more than just killing them."

"Our goal has never been to eliminate pirates."

"What we want to destroy is always freedom."

"And nowadays, even among pirates, there are a bit too many."

Hearing this, the other people also became serious. It was obvious that they all knew what the bald five elders meant.

"The Age of Pirates began, and more and more people went out to sea."

“Even the well-kept pigs in the pen are beginning to understand the meaning of the word ‘freedom’.”

The bearded Five Elders sighed and said, "Gol D. Roger is such a lunatic!"

"I've said it before, watching the pirates grow might be good, but sooner or later, you'll regret this stupid decision."

"At that time, the adults gave the entire sea..."

The bald Five Elders shook his head, as if he wanted to say something, but finally held back.

"It's not that serious. As long as most people are still afraid of pirates, the flame of freedom will never be lit."

The fat Five Elders took control of the situation again: "The World Government is the ruler of this ocean. Letting pirates grow bigger is just to save some effort."

"For the past eight hundred years since the Celestial Dragons conquered the world, they have been able to dominate this sea without relying on any schemes."

"So, even if things really get out of control, it's just..."

At this moment, a terrifying aura emanated from the chubby and naive Five Elders:

"It's nothing more than killing all those restless guys."

"There is no shortage of people on this ocean who are willing to give up everything for their lives."

"So next, let's get back to the topic we were talking about."

"About -- a proposal to send more troops to fight against the Straw Hat Pirates."

As soon as the words fell, this supreme hall of power fell into silence again, as if the quarrel just now had never happened.

After a while, a series of voices sounded:

"Second." X4

Just like that, when everyone was looking forward to the showdown with Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, the five men who ruled the entire ocean made an important decision for another pirate group.

-

In the sky above the Grand Line, a bear paw-like bubble was wrapping a large ship and moving rapidly forward.

In one of the rooms on the ship, Bai Ye had just come out of the interior when he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door.

"Bai Ye, come out quickly, it's about to start!"

Bai Ye opened the door when he heard the sound, and when he looked down he saw Meli's figure.

When Meli saw Bai Ye coming out, he pulled Bai Ye upstairs and soon arrived at the banquet hall.

"Hey Bai Ye, you are too unreliable. How can you be late for something like this?"

After seeing Bai Ye coming, Luffy actually showed a disgusted expression and said: "It seems that more training is needed."

Looking at Luffy's expression, Usopp said to Merry beside him:

"That's absolutely right. Luffy is just imitating the way Byakuya usually trains everyone."

Meli nodded frantically in agreement with this statement, but he did not dare to laugh, because he had clearly seen the black lines on Bai Ye's head.

...

Bai Ye didn't take action in the end. After all, he was indeed late this time.

What happens next should be considered one of the most important things on this ship.

"Hey! Everyone, let's have a toast together!"

"For our new friend Brook! Let's have a party!!!"

Luffy raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted loudly to everyone.

"Eh?! Was it specially prepared for me?!!!"

Hearing this, Brook's mouth opened wide. He never thought that under such circumstances, Luffy would still prepare a welcome ceremony for him.

This is simply——

"It's so touching!!! My heart is melting!!!"

Brook once again performed the magical performance of a skeleton shedding tears.

Then, everyone expressed their welcome to Brook:

Bai Ye: "Speaking of which, do you mind if I use some magic on you? You know, as a Taoist priest, I am quite interested in guys like you."

Zoro: "You are really unlucky. We are a group of people who are quite good at causing trouble."

Sanji: "Absolutely! No! You can't even think about targeting Robin-chan and Nami-san! Panties! Not even that!"

Nami: "From now on, any treasures you rob must be handed over to me for safekeeping."

Usopp: "Your boarding is all part of my plan!"

Merry: "It's great to have another companion to take with me on the voyage!"

Robin: "Welcome, Mr. Skull."

Chopper: "Please give me some time for the treatment of your injury."

Franky: "Ouch! Being my partner is the best thing ever! Su~per~"

Faced with everyone's strange but enthusiastic greetings, Brook seemed to have returned to his former pirate group.

At this moment, Luffy shouted again:

"Hey, Brooke, you're a musician, right?"

"Then let's play music!"

"That song you sang when we first met, I've also heard Shanks and the others sing it before."

Hearing this, Brooke seemed to have returned to several decades ago.

At that time, their captain would ask himself to play that song every morning when he got up and brushed his teeth.

Brook slowly stood up, bowed gracefully to Luffy and said:

"Yohoho! It's such an honor, Captain Luffy!"
