99: Chapter 99 Leaving the Devil's Triangle and Arriving in the Kingdom of ElesOn the open ground, the awakened crew stared silently at Luffy, his body wrapped in bandages.Since their battle with Aokiji, everyone had realized their own inadequacy and spent most of their time frantically training in the training space.They thought they had become quite strong, but today's clash with Kuma had shattered their confidence."I'm still too weak.I can't even protect my own captain.How can I ever become the world's greatest swordsman?" Zoro gripped his sword hilt tightly, his heart unable to calm down.Sanji was the same.This clash with Kuma.In the battle, no matter what moves the two unleashed, Kuma deflected them all.Had Kuma not left at the end, everyone would probably be dead.Just then, accompanied by a cough, Luffy awoke from his unconsciousness, feeling pain throughout his body.Remembering what Kuma had told him earlier, Luffy silently complained, "Uncle Kuma, Uncle Kuma, can't you be a little gentler next time?Don't you know that doing this can really kill people?" Kuma had told Luffy that he was about to be completely transformed and lose his sense of self, and that the World Government had decided to send an admiral to the next island.The order to attack the Straw Hat crew was given, and Kuma would find an opportunity to send them away.Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Luffy woke up.After Chopper gave Luffy a thorough check-up, the Straw Hat crew held a banquet on the spot.Lola and the others sang and danced in the sunshine, celebrating their long-awaited sunbathing.Luffy took this opportunity to formally invite Brook.Brook played the piano, tears of emotion welling up in his empty eyes.Brook couldn't remember how many years he had been adrift alone in the Devil's Triangle, how many days and nights he had spent facing the skulls of his former companions alone, playing the violin and singing the songs his departed companions loved most.Unconsciously, Brook seemed to see Laboon, the whale they had placed at the entrance to the Grand Line.To the accompaniment of the melodious piano music, Brook slowly told his story, "About Laboon, we also met him, right at the entrance to the Grand Line.He's in good spirits now!" After Brook finished his story, Uta was very moved and brought Brook this good news.Upon hearing this, Brooke felt an indescribable joy and excitement welling up inside him.His eyes widened, and although he had no eyeballs, his skeletal mouth was slightly open, as if he could not believe what he was hearing.
Without hesitation, Brooke jumped up from his seat and rushed towards Uta like an excited little bird.His steps were light and hurried, as if he couldn't wait to see Rab.Every step was filled with anticipation and longing, as if he were one step closer to Rab.
When Brooke approached Uta, a radiant smile spread across his face, and tears welled in his eyes.He was so overwhelmed with emotion that he could barely speak, but he managed to express his feelings in a trembling voice: "Re.really?You really met Laboon?Is.is it alright?"
Uta smiled and nodded, giving Brooke an affirmative answer.She understood Brooke's deep feelings for Laboon and was happy to bring him this good news.Brooke was overwhelmed with gratitude, clutching Uta's arm tightly, tears welling in his eyes.This news meant a great deal to Brooke, rekindling his hope and courage.
Brooke took a deep breath, snapped open the skull, and to everyone's astonishment, pulled out a detonator.As Brooke pressed the button on top, melodious music emanated from it: "Yo ho ho ho yo .ho yo ho ho ho ho yo ho ho ho ho yo ho ho ho ho yo ho ho ho ho yo ho ho
This was a song Brook's companion recorded for Laboon before his death.To the accompaniment of the melodious music, Brook pulled a wanted poster from his pocket, knelt on one knee, slammed it to the ground, and declared passionately, "Captain Luffy, not only did you not despise my terrifying appearance, but you also helped me reclaim my shadow and took me as your partner.From this day forward, I, Brook, the great pirate with a bounty of 33 million Berries, join your ranks.I hope Captain Luffy will not despise me!"
"Host has completed the main storyline.Brook has joined the Straw Hat Pirates.Host is rewarded with the Yomi Demon Sword."
The Demon Sword of the Underworld: A mysterious and powerful weapon, possessing boundless strength and profound magic.It resonates with and channels the power of the Underworld, unleashing unimaginable might.Through the Demon Sword, the wielder can gather the power of the Underworld into the blade and unleash astonishing attacks.Each swing of the Demon Sword is accompanied by a surge of Underworld power, forming powerful sword energy and shockwaves, enough to destroy any enemy or obstacle.Not only that, the Yellow Springs Demon Sword can also unleash the wielder's potential, enhancing their combat abilities and skills.Luffy chuckled and helped Brook up, granting his request.Although the crew was still a little scared, they were happy for the new addition to the pirate crew.Brook's arrival brought the banquet to a climax.Lola and her crew also gifted the Straw Hat crew with their accumulated wealth.On the eve of parting, Lola took out a Life Paper from her pocket, tore off a corner, and handed it to Nami."Nami, this is my mother's Life Paper.I believe this will definitely help you in the future," Lola said earnestly to Nami.Nami didn't understand, but still tucked the corner of the Life Paper into a ditch.After saying goodbye, the Thousand Sunny officially set sail for its next adventure.Lola stood on the shore, watching the Thousand Sunny gradually disappear into the distance, waving goodbye vigorously."Alright, brothers.""We're starting our adventure anew!" Lola shouted, raising her arms.They boarded the Music Adventure (Brook's former pirate ship, the author couldn't find the name and made it up) that Franky had repaired, and set sail.After several days of sailing, the Straw Hat crew finally left the Devil's Triangle.As Lis looked at her hometown getting closer on the chart, her heart tightened with anxiety.She was filled with longing for her parents and confusion about Prince Odbiao's rebellion.He used to be so gentle; why did he become such a different person after the Dark Orb appeared?"Perhaps it's a thirst for power.Every normal person has that desire," Luffy said calmly, noticing Lis's confusion.Like Blackbeard, killing his own crew for the Dark-Dark Fruit—Luffy despised people like that the most.Debiao was relatively unharmed; he only seriously injured Lis's father but didn't kill him.Lis nodded, knowing that everything would only be known upon meeting Prince Debiao.In the following days, everyone frantically trained in the training space, even Enel joined in, probably because he was discouraged.The proud god wouldn't allow anyone other than Luffy to defeat him.Anyway, Jarvis was controlling the ship, so no one was worried.Karu, who hadn't appeared in a while, yawned, inwardly complaining that his master rarely paid attention to him.Soon, the Sunny entered the waters of the Kingdom of Eles.Guided by Lis, the Sunny stopped at a secluded shore.After returning the ship to the system space, Lis, in disguise, led the group into a small town not far from the Kingdom of Eles.Upon entering the town, everyone was shocked by what they saw.
