Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain
Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Time passed slowly like this, and everyone who had experienced repeated battles slept in the atrium for a whole day.

Moria has been eliminated, and all the shadows have returned to everyone, so the zombies have dissipated. With Lin Tian present, even if Kuma appears, everyone won’t need to be afraid.

“Sanji, I’m hungry. I want to eat. Cheese alone won’t fill me up at all.”

Holding two huge pieces of cheese in both hands, Luffy gnawed frantically, but even so, the hunger in his stomach not only did not disappear, but became even stronger.

Sanji, who was carrying a lot of kitchen utensils, stopped and said, “In that case, don’t stand here, come quickly and help me move these things to the atrium, those guys don’t want to leave there, so there is no choice but cook there.”

Lola, who came to help on the deck, apologized: “I’m sorry, they haven’t touched the sun for too long, how could they leave?”

Usopp crossed his arms, looked at the energetic Luffy, and said strangely, “How can you be so energetic? It’s really strange. There must be something wrong.”

In a broken room in the atrium, Chopper was carefully handling the injured body for Zoro, looking at the injuries all over his body.

Chopper wondered: “It’s really strange. So far, Zoro has never been injured so seriously. Something must have happened when we were unconscious.”

Robin came over and echoed, “That’s right, it’s hard to imagine that man would just go back at the last moment.”

“Didn’t Lin Tian appear to force Kuma to leave?” said Usopp, who was carrying things from the boat.

“Well, speaking of which, when we woke up, Lin Tian appeared on the unconscious Zoro, and Nami was helping Zoro bandage the wound.” Chopper nodded and said.

Speaking of this, the eyes of the three of them could not help but move to the silent Nami beside them, knowing what happened behind the scenes, apart from Lin Tian, only Nami was there.

It’s just that Nami at this time seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn’t immediately notice that the three of Robin were looking at him asking for help.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, Nami finally realized what happened. She raised her head to meet the gazes of the three people, and replied absent-mindedly, “That’s right, that’s true?”

“But, we haven’t asked anything yet.” Usopp added.

Everyone looked at Nami with puzzled faces. They felt that not only Luffy, but also Nami and Zoro were a little strange about what happened when they were unconscious.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, Nami thought for a while, and quickly explained: “Oh, I mean, the main reason why Kuma stopped moving was because Lin Tian happened to appear, so he had to retreat.”

“Really?” Robin stared at Nami closely and asked suspiciously.

Just when Nami felt guilty and didn’t know how to answer Robin’s suspicious gaze, Lin Tian walked over.

Chopper quickly asked, “Lin Tian, what happened after we fell into a coma?”

“Nothing happened, just like what Nami said.” Lin Tian waved his hand and explained: “You also know that I was a Vice Admiral in the marine back then, I’ve met Kuma and Moria a couple times before. After you passed out, Zoro resisted the impact and blocked Kuma, but was injured by Kuma. Fortunately, I arrived in time and saved Zoro, while Kuma teleported away.”

“It’s that simple?” Usopp asked suspiciously.

Lin Tian: “Of course it’s that simple. What else do you want? Could it be that the two of us have a war on this island?”

Hearing this, Usopp froze immediately. How could masters like Lin Tian and Kuma fight casually? If there was a real battle between the two, would they still be lying here intact?

Sanji, who was walking behind him, entered the room and heard everyone talking, his eyes flickered for a while, but he didn’t say much.

At the last moment, he woke up and knew a lot more. That guy Zoro had given up resistance long ago, and was planning to exchange his head for Luffy’s life.

How could he still be fighting Kuma and get injured a lot more? What Lin Tian said was not entirely correct, and there was something hidden behind it, but Lin Tian didn’t say anything, and Sanji could only bury his doubts in his heart.

Stepping up to Lin Tian’s side, Robin leaned close to Lin Tian, her red lips approaching his ear and whispered, “Tell me, what happened before, don’t try to deceive me, I’m different from those guys like Luffy.”

Hearing this, Lin Tian, who was about to speak, had a wry smile on his face, “…Is it really good to be a woman?”

Gently brushing away the hair beside her ear, Robin didn’t answer, but asked with a smile, “That depends on whether you want me to be smart or…”

Before Robin finished speaking, Lin Tian’s right hand had climbed up to Robin’s waist at some point, and said with a wicked smile: “As my woman, of course I hope you to be smarter.”

There was a sound of laughter. The people who had regained their shadows ate the food in front of them, their faces were full of joy. At the beginning, the meal that was supposed to be good had already turned into a banquet.

Nami, who was standing by Zoro’s side, turned around and looked at the laughing crowd behind her, and sighed helplessly, “Really, these guys are too excited…”

“They can only hide in the dark forest for so many years, living like a lost dog, and now they have finally found their shadow. It’s normal to be so excited.”

Lin Tian came from behind, approached Nami, looked at the unconscious Zoro, and asked, “How is it? How long will it take for Zoro to wake up?”

Turning her head and leaning against Lin Tian’s shoulder, Nami said in a little confusion: “Chopper said that Zoro will wake up in a day at the earliest, Lin Tian, tell me, we don’t tell everyone the truth- is it really okay?”

His right hand slid through Nami’s smooth orange-yellow hair, with a touch of incense wrapped around his fingertips, persuading him, “It’s better to keep this kind of thing a secret. Zoro didn’t do that to make everyone thank him. In your little mind, it’s better not to think about this matter. Since everyone is safe, let this matter go with the wind.”

“En.” Nami, leaning on her shoulder, nodded slightly.

“Yo-hohoho, Yo-hoho-ho! Gather up all of the crew! It’s time to ship out Binks’ Brew! The wind it blows, to where who knows? The waves will be our guide! O’er across the ocean’s tide, rays of sunshine far and wide! The birds, they sing, of cheerful things in circles passing by! Bid farewell to weaver’s town! Say so long to port renowned! Sing a song, it won’t be long before we’re casting off! Cross the gold and silver waves, Changin’ into water sprays! Sailing out on our journey to the ends of the sea! Gather up all of the crew! Time to ship out Binks’s brew! Pirates we, we’ll divide and conquer all the seas! With the waves to rest our heads, ship beneath us as our bed! Hoisted high up on the mast our jolly roger flies! Somewhere in the endless sky, a storm has started comin’ by! Waves are dancing having fun, it’s time to sound the drums! If we let blow winds of fear then the end of us is near! Even so, tomor-row the sun will rise again!…”

The beautiful singing accompanied by the sound of the piano fluttered in the ruined castle, and the excited crowd listened to the singing in the air, and couldn’t help but dance along with the beautiful singing.

“It’s really a familiar singing voice.” Lin Tian smiled slightly as he calmly enjoyed the singing voice floating in the air.

“En?” Nami asked in confusion, looked up at Lin Tian, and asked, “Lin Tian, weren’t you a marine? How come you’re so familiar with the pirate’s ‘Binks’ Sake.’?”

Lin Tian looked down at Nami and explained: “I was indeed a marine, but the person who knows pirates best in the world is not a pirate, but his enemy, the marine. Of course, I have heard a lot of this song.”

As the saying goes, the person who understands you best in the world is not yourself, but your enemy.

Luffy jumped onto the piano at some point, and said with a smile, “Hey, Brook, I’ve heard this song before, and Shanks and the others have sung it.”

“Yohoho… Pirates in the past would sing this song.” Playing this song again, Brook can’t help but think of the days on the pirate ship.

Luffy lay on the piano, shaking his legs, and invited Brook again, “Hey, Brook, you will join us, right? Now your shadow has returned, and you can sail without fear of the sun.”

Facing Luffy’s invitation, Brook said slightly apologetically, “But I still have one thing to do, which is an important agreement with my partners. If I don’t complete this agreement first, I can’t be considered a man.”

Luffy said: “Laboon, I know, Franky told us, we met Laboon in Reverse Mountain, really.”

“That whale has been waiting for fifty years and is still waiting for your return.” Lin Tian and Nami walked over. “Back then, I accepted Laboon’s agreement and searched through the marine records fifty years ago, and finally found the record of the entire crew being wiped out, but when I told it, the whale hated me.”

“That’s right, I was very surprised when I learned that you were the pirates that Laboon was waiting for.” Luffy waved his hands as if he could express his surprise in this way.

“And it still remembers the agreement between you, and has been waiting for you to go back there. If it knows, it will be very happy.”

Hearing what the two said, Brook became excited immediately, a little unbelievable, and asked again to confirm: “Wait…wait a minute, is this true? Have you really met Laboon? Is he still there after 50 years waiting for us?”

Nami replied: “Of course, we also promised Laboon. It will wait for us to return from our round the world.”

Suddenly, Brook stopped his hands, leaving only empty eyes with tears of excitement.

“50 years later, is it still waiting for us there?”

Fifty years, that is already equivalent to a person’s lifetime, but Laboon still persisted there, waiting for them for 50 years, and still did not give up on their arrival. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

If Brook knew that in order to wait for them to come back, Laboon kept hitting the red soil continent with his body, he might not know what the pain would be like.

Seeing that Brook stopped playing, Sanji shouted: “Hey, why did Brook stop, play more songs.”

Under everyone’s surprised eyes, Brook took out a familiar Tone Dial from the skull.

“This is the moment before we die, the chorus of everyone gathered, please listen to this song.”

The wonderful singing came back to mind, like drizzle moistening everyone’s hearts. After a short pause, the joyful laughter and singing and dancing sounded again.

Listening to this song that represents the promise of partners, Brook said softly: “Laboon, since you have waited for us for 50 years, can you endure it for a year or two? I also have the determination to become a pirate again. You have been waiting in the Reverse Mountain? I can’t wait for reunion.”

Tick… tick…
