"Yohohoho! They've entered the nest of the Sea Kings, what bad luck this is for Luffy and his buddies, I hope they get out with minimal damage."
"Oh! They came out like this... Oh my Gosh, is that a huge whale blocking the entrance to the Grand Line?! What's with all these scars on the poor whale's head?!"
Brook had a soft spot for whales because of Laboon, so he couldn't bear to see this whale suffer.
"I hope Luffy and his buddies don't hurt the whale... With its size, who could even hurt it? Yohohoho! Looks like the whale has been hurting itself."
When Brook was immersed in the reading of manga, Rob returned to his personal section to continue drawing the advanced chapters of One Piece manga and Solo Leveling manhwa, and he was also working on a new anime project to make up for the inevitable absence of HXH.
Regarding the new anime, Rob plans to put the trailer this week, and the show will officially start next week.
"Oh? Looks like he's arrived at the Laboon arc... He didn't even read the name of the arc before he started reading the events?"
Although he was in his personal section, he still kept an eye on Brook, everything he did was reflected in the system window.
At this moment, Brook suddenly fell silent and his body began to shiver.
His mood completely changed as he woke up to reality.
“Hmm, it looks like he discovered the truth about the whale that blocked the entrance to the Grand Line.”
...
In the art store tavern, the manga volumes he had finished piled up on the tavern table while on the other side there were a large number of volumes he hadn't even started yet, he bought all the volumes available and was ready to read them.
From the time he read the first chapter, he felt a kind of happiness and contentment he had never felt before... Just how cool would it be if he had One Piece manga to read in the past years when he lived in absolute loneliness.
One Piece manga now seemed like an oasis of clear water, delicious fruits, and grilled meat to someone who had been lost in the desert for a long time.
“Oh! Luffy is reckless, he caused everyone to be swallowed by the whale. I hope they are all right.”
“What is that?! A metal gate on the head of the whale?!”
"Wait...! An island and a blue sky in the whale's stomach?!"
"This is not a flower, Sanji, Yohohoho! This is...!!!! Crocus?!!!!"
"How...?! Ah! Yes, how could I forget that Crocus is the overseer of the twin cape lighthouse that guides ships coming down from Reverse Mountain into the Grand Line!"
"It's really Crocus, but... he's getting old, he's 71 years old already and he's still provoking anyone with his words..."
"If Crocus is still here, then how about...?!"
“Why would the whale use its head to hit the Red Line…?”
Brook felt such a bad omen, even his newly formed heart began to hurt for some unknown reason... For the first time, he was afraid of discovering something... Since his death, he had overcome the fear of death and since living alone for so many years, he had overcome his fear of loneliness. These are the peak of the fear, but Brook overcame them.
But now... Why does he feel afraid?! And from what?!
Brook continued reading the manga with trembling eyes.
"No, Nami, you misunderstood him... I know Crocus well... He's a great doctor, not a whaler... Who are these Mr. 9 and Miss. Wednesday?! Huh! They are the real whalers?! Damn to them!"
"Yohohoho! Luffy is still swinging inside the metal corridors in the whale's stomach, will he meet these scoundrels who want to hurt the whale and teach them a lesson?!
"..."
When Crocus swam toward the portal in the whale's stomach and Luffy and the two secret agents fell into a sea of stomach acid, came a scene that Brook will never forget.
"Did he just say... 'Laboon, stop hurting yourself'... L-Laboon?!"
"Impossible...?!"
The strength vanished from Brook's body, and he felt extremely helpless after realizing something.
The light in his eyes dimmed, but he still turned the pages of the manga and read everything, not wanting to miss a single word.
The more he reads, the more he sank into the quagmire of despair, frustration, and self-blame.
Why was Laboon hitting his head with the red line in an attempt to break it?... He knew the answer to this question even before it was answered in the manga.
When Crocus started telling Laboon's story to Luffy and his buddies, Brook's body began to shiver and tears streamed from his dim eyes... It really was Laboon and the pirates who left him were his crew!
Rumbar Pirates!
"50 years ago...?! Impossible! It's only been 27 years since I last saw Laboon."
“So how…? It couldn’t be wrong, right?! No, Crocus’s age couldn’t be too big also?!
"Does this story show the future????"
When Crocus has said that Laboon still believes in his friends' return, the thoughts have vanished from Brook's mind and the fountain of tears is revived once more.
"No, no, no, no, it's not that at all, we didn't betray the promise, we didn't betray Laboon's trust... It's just that we... We... We died!"
“We are already dead! How can the dead do anything?!”
"I'm sorry, Laboon! I'm... Sorry!"
Brook left the manga book and stood up from his seat wanting to leave... He had to get out of the Florian Triangle at all costs... He had to cross the Calm Belt and back to the Grand Line from the Reverse Mountain in any way possible!
Only in this way can he reunite with Laboon faster.
He was sure that now the story had not yet reached the stage where Crocus told Laboon it was pointless to wait.
Before he left, his attention drew by something in the manga.
Luffy broke the ship's mast and ran along Laboon's head.
“This… What does he want to do?!”
"Damn you, Luffy!"
“Why do you hurt Laboon after all you heard about it, don’t you feel an ounce of pity?!”
"No, that's unreasonable! Why is he trying to fight Laboon? What does he want to achieve with that?"
He's read the One Piece manga since its beginning and gets to know a lot of the real Luffy.
Although he is a real idiot and acts stupid all the time, he is a very responsible person and one of the kindest people he has ever seen.
Someone like him wouldn't have hurt Laboon for no reason.
"Huh?!"
==============================
...
..
Luffy: Your friends are already dead, but I'm still alive.
Luffy: We'll take a trip around the Grand Line, and we'll be back to see you again.
Luffy: Let's fight next time.
Laboon: Booooh!
...
..
==============================
This scene caused a big smile to form on Brook's face, which made his previously gloomy face disappear.
All his frustrations and sorrows that had accumulated over the decades had vanished in smoke because of what Luffy had done at this moment.
"This boy..."
Brook wiped a small tear at the end of his eye and returned to his seat, wanting to finish reading the manga before doing anything else.
"He had draw his own pirate flag on Laboon's forehead to prevent it from hurting itself again... What a genius idea from an idiot, Yohohohoho!"
...
In Rob's personal section;
"He seems to have accepted the situation, that's good."
Rob said with a smile.
He didn't want to go out to stop Brook from leaving, he wanted him to heal his own remorse... This remorse can't be cured by trying to kill himself on his way out of the Grand Line.
...
The next day,
Rob exited his personal section to find Brook asleep with a satisfied smile on his face after he had finished reading all the available chapters from One Piece manga until the last chapter of the G-8 arc.
Since the other party's remorse had been greatly reduced, he thought that he would not refuse to join his guild.
Rob put all this effort because two reasons, the first being that he really felt pity for the Brook and Laboon story and wanted a happy ending to them.
The second is Brook's inclusion in his guild.
This guy is somewhat immortal, has great potential, and is a great musician and comedian of the highest order.
Since he's going to be a star in the future because of the manga, he'll be getting a lot of talent because of him.
So, once he was offered to take him to Laboon, Rob didn't think that Brook would reject his offer.
