Chapter 583
Time slowly pa.s.sed like this, the people who had experienced the series of battles, slept in the middle court for a whole day.
Moria had been dealt with, all the shadows returned to the side of the crowd, and the zombies had dissipated. With Lin Tian, even if k.u.ma appeared, everyone would not be afraid.
“Sanji, I am hungry, I want to eat, I only ate cheese, I’m not full at all.”
With two large pieces of cheese in his hands, Luffy gnawed crazily, but even so, the hunger from his stomach did not disappear, but became stronger.
Sanji, who was carrying a large pile of kitchen utensils, stopped and said, “In that case, don’t stand here. Hurry up and help me move these things to the middle court. Those guys don’t want to leave, so I have no choice but to cook there.”
Charlotte Lola, who came over to help, apologized, “I’m sorry, they haven’t touched the sun for too long. How could they leave there?”
Usopp crossed his arms and looked at the energetic Luffy. He asked curiously, “How can you be so energetic? It’s really strange. There must be a problem.”
In a broken room in the middle court, Chopper was carefully treating Zoro’s injured body. He looked at the injuries all over his body.
Chopper was puzzled. “It’s really strange. Up until now, Zoro has never suffered such a serious injury. When we were unconscious, something must have happened.”
Robin walked over and added, “That’s right. It’s hard to imagine that man actually went back at the last moment.”
“Isn’t it Lin Tian who appeared to force the Seven Warlords of the Sea’s k.u.ma to leave?” Usopp, who was moving things from the boat, said.
“Well, speaking of this, when we woke up, Lin Tian appeared near the unconscious Zoro, and at the same time, Nami was helping Zoro bandage the wound.” Chopper nodded.
Speaking of this, the eyes of the three people could not help but move to the silent Nami on the side, except Lin Tian, only Nami who knew what happened behind.
However, at this moment, Nami seemed to be thinking about something. She did not immediately notice that Robin and the others were looking at her with puzzled gazes.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, Nami finally reacted to what had happened. She raised her head to face the gazes of the three and replied absent-mindedly, “That’s right, is it like that?”
“But, we haven’t said anything yet!” Usopp added.
Everyone looked at Nami doubtfully. Why did it feel like it wasn’t just Luffy? Even Nami and Zoro looked so strange. What exactly happened when they were unconscious?
Sensing that she had said something wrong, Nami thought for a moment and quickly explained, “Oh, I mean, the reason why k.u.ma retreated was that because of Lin Tian.”
“Is that so?” Robin stared at Nami and asked suspiciously.
Just as Nami was being doubted by Robin and felt guilty, not knowing how to answer, Lin Tian came over.
Chopper quickly asked, “Lin Tian, what happened after we were unconscious?”
“Nothing happened, just like what Nami said.” Lin Tian waved his hand and explained, “You also know that I was a Commodre in the past. I greeted Seven Warlords of the Sea a lot. Whether it was Moria or k.u.ma, they knew me.”
“When you pa.s.sed out, Zoro resisted the attack and tried to block k.u.ma, but he was injured by k.u.ma. Luckily, I arrived in time and saved Zoro, and k.u.ma went away.”
“It’s that simple?” Usopp asked suspiciously.
Lin Tiand replied, “Of course it’s that simple. What else do you want? Do we have a big battle on the island?”
Hearing this, Usopp was suddenly stuffed. Lin Tian and k.u.ma, this level of expert, how could they fight randomly, even if the two of them really had a big fight, they could still lie here intact.
Sanji who followed behind entered the room and heard everyone talking. His eyes flashed and he did not say anything.
At the last moment, he was awake, and he knew a lot of things. Zoro had long given up on resistance, and was ready to use his head in exchange for Luffy’s life.
How could he still fight with k.u.ma? What Lin Tian said was not completely correct. There was something hidden behind it, but Lin Tian did not say it. Sanji could only bury the doubts in his heart.
Walking to Lin Tian, Robin leaned close to Lin Tian and whispered in his ear, “Tell me, what happened before? Don’t try to deceive me. I am different from Luffy.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian, who was ready to speak, showed a bitter smile on his face, “Is it really good to be so smart as a woman?”
Gently pushing aside the hair beside her ear, Robin did not answer. Instead, she smiled and asked, “That depends on whether you want me to be smart or…”
Without waiting for Robin to finish, Lin Tian’s right hand had climbed up Robin’s waist at some point and said with an evil smile, “As my woman, of course, I want you to be smart.”
There was laughter. The people who found their shadows again ate the food in front of them. Their faces were full of joy. At the beginning, and the place had become a banquet.
Nami, who was guarding Zoro, turned around and looked at the people laughing behind her. She sighed helplessly, “It’s true. These guys are too excited.”
“For so many years, they can only hide in the dark forest, like a stray dog living. It’s hard to find the shadow. so it’s normal for them to be so excited.”
Lin Tian came from behind and sat next to Nami. He looked at the unconscious Zoro and asked, “How is he? How long will it take for Zoro to wake up?”
Tilting her head and leaning against Lin Tian’s shoulder, Nami was somewhat confused, “Chopper said that Zoro will wake up in a day at the fastest. Lin Tian, you say, we will not tell everyone the truth like this, is it really okay?”
His right hand slipped through Nami’s soft orange-yellow hair, his fingertips wrapped around a touch of incense, persuaded, “This kind of thing is better to be kept as a secret. Zoro didn’t do it to make everyone feel grateful to him.”
“Don’t think about it. Since everyone is safe, let this matter go with the wind.”
“Yes.” Nami, who was leaning on his shoulder, nodded slightly.
“Going to deliver Binks’ Sake! Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves! Far across the salty depths! The merry evening sun! The birds sing as they draw circles in the sky! Farewell to the harbor, To my old hometown Let’s all sing out with a Don! As the ship sets sail….”
The beautiful song accompanied by the beautiful piano sound fluttered in the ruined castle, the excited people listened to the singing in the air, and could not help but dance with the beautiful song.
“It is really a familiar song.” Calmly enjoying the song floating in the air, Lin Tian smiled.
“En?” Nami uttered a doubt, looked up at Lin Tian and asked, “Lin Tian, aren’t you a marine? How can you be so familiar with this pirate’s song [Bink’s Sake]?”
Lin Tian looked down at Nami and explained, “I am indeed a marine, but the person who understands pirates the most in the world is not a pirate, but his enemy marine. Of course I have heard a lot of this song.”
As the saying goes, the person who understands you the most in the world is not yourself, but your enemy.
Luffy jumped onto the piano and said with a smile, “Hey, Brook, I’ve heard this song before, Shanks and the others sang it.”
“Oh, hehe… The pirates in the past all sing this song.” When he played the song again, Brook couldn’t help but think of the days when he was on the pirate ship.
Luffy lay on the piano, shaking his legs and sending an invitation to Brook again, “Hey, Brook, you will join us, right? Now that your shadow is back, you are no longer afraid of the sun and can sail.”
Facing Luffy’s invitation, Brook said apologetically, “But I have one more thing to do. It is an important agreement about my companions. If I don’t complete this agreement first, I can’t be considered a man.”
Luffy said, “Laboon, I know, Franky told us. We saw Laboon, before.”
“That whale has been waiting for fifty years, and is still waiting for you to come back.” Lin Tian and Nami walked over.
He said in a surprised tone, “Back then, I accepted the agreement and checked the marine records 50 years ago before finally finding the record of your entire army being destroyed. But when I told it, that whale hated me.”
“Yes, when I learned that you were the pirates that Laboon was waiting for, I was very surprised.” Luffy waved his hands as if this was the only way to express his surprise.
“And it still remembers the agreement between you two. It has been waiting for you to return. If it knew, it would be very happy.”
Hearing their words, Brook became excited. He couldn’t believe it. He asked again, “Wait… wait a minute, is this true? Have you really seen Laboon? For 50 years, he is still waiting for us there?”
Nami replied, “Of course, we also promised Laboon to wait there for us to travel the world.”
Suddenly, Brook stopped his hands, leaving only empty eyes, but there were tears of excitement.
“50 years, is it still waiting for us there?”
50 years was equivalent to a person’s life, but Laboon still persisted there, waiting for them for 50 years, and still did not give up their arrival.
If Brook knew that in order to wait for them to come back, Laboon had been using his body to hit the Reverse Mountain, he would probably be in pain.
Seeing Brook stop playing, Sanji shouted, “Hey, why did Brook stop playing the songs?”
In everyone’s shocked eyes, Brook took out a familiar voice from the skull bag.
“This is the chorus everyone gathered before our death. Let us listen to this song.”
The beautiful song came back to them. It was like a drizzle that wet everyone’s hearts. After a short pause, the happy laughter and the singing and dancing sounds rang again.
Listening to the song that represented the agreement of partners, Brook whispered, “Laboon, since you have waited for us for 50 years, can you endure for one or two years? I also have the determination to become a pirate. Wait for us on the other side of the Reverse Mountain, just like I am waiting for you here.”
Tick…tick…
