"Poetry and the Distant Sea" sailed smoothly on the Boundless Sea, with the sea breeze blowing gently and the sails rustling.
Allen stood on the deck, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
However, one day later, everything changed.
The ship slowly sailed into a sunless Sea Area. There was a lack of light all year round, and the sea was filled with thick fog, making visibility pitifully low.
Allen looked at the fog as thick as ink in front of him and murmured to himself, "Could it be...Florian Triangle?"
As the big ship continued to move forward, Yamato suddenly shouted from the bow, "Hey, look, there seems to be a ship ahead!"
Allen's heart tightened. He seemed to have guessed the origin of the ship, and whispered, "Let's get closer and take a look."
As the distance got closer, the outline of the mysterious ship gradually appeared.
The hull of the ship was in tatters and riddled with holes, as if it had experienced countless strong winds and waves.
There was no light in the cabin, and there was no sign of human activity. It was obviously a long-abandoned ship.
At this time, Yamato's eyes flashed with excitement and he shouted, "I want to go up and have a look!"
Allen and Tom looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Nana timidly hugged Robin's arm, with a trembling voice. "Sister Yamato, this ship looks so scary, should we not get on it?"
Yamato immediately retorted, "What are you afraid of? There are no ghosts!"
After a pause, he continued, "If you're afraid, just stay here. I won't laugh at you for being a coward!"
At this time, Nana placed her hope on Robin, gently swayed Robin's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister Robin, you will stay with me here, right?"
Looking at Nana's wet eyes, Robin smiled and refused, "But I also want to go up and have a look."
Nana's last hope was shattered, and he could only reluctantly follow everyone on board the hulk. During the walk, he kept holding Robin's arm tightly and never let go.
There was an aura of decay permeating the hulk, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
After boarding the ship, everyone looked around curiously to see if there was any treasure or other things on the ship.
Suddenly, a strange and unfamiliar man's voice sounded from the deck, "Are you pirates?"
This sudden sound frightened Nana, and his whole body was buried in Robin's arms.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a figure with only a skeleton lying on the floor not far from Robin and Nana.
Tom and Iceberg were so frightened that they backed away. Flam said with disbelief, "These bones seem to be talking!"
Hearing this, Nana, who is both good and fun-loving, showed his little head out of curiosity and almost fainted from fright. "Ah, there is a ghost!"
Allen smiled and reassured, "It's not a ghost, he is the half of the person I mentioned before, the bone man named Brook!"
Brook heard Allen's introduction, pushed hard against the fence, used his back as a skateboard, and slid in the direction of Nana.
Nana was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Robin.
After sliding to the feet of the two women, Brook stood up, gracefully waved the crutch in his hand, then put one hand on his chest, bent over, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Two beautiful ladies, my name is Brook, and I am Ability User who ate Revive-Revive Fruit."
Then the style of painting suddenly changed. "Can you please let me see your underwear? Yo ho ho~"
"Can't"
Nana was so angry that her face turned red. She stamped her feet and clenched her hands into fists, looking furious.
Before Allen could take action, Yamato's figure was like lightning, and he rushed towards Brook in an instant, raised his fist high, and punched out fiercely.
With a "bang" sound, Brook's skull flew straight out like a discharged cannonball, drawing a strange arc in mid-air.
Yamato roared at the flying skull, "Do you need to put underwear in your urn?!"
Brook's body swayed on the spot, and then he stretched out his bony hand, ran slowly to pick up his skull, put it back on his neck, and let out a weird laugh, "Oh, hehe, you are such a scary lady, but I was just kidding."
Allen looked at Brook, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to let him live.
He knew that his woman would definitely not let Brook see her underwear, and if Brook dared to mention it again, she would definitely get beaten.
What's more, Brook's potential is pretty good. Maybe he can be adopted as his younger brother and let him serve as a musician on the ship.
Thinking of this, Allen said seriously, "Brook, do you want to hang out with us?"
Brook agreed without thinking, "Okay, Captain, yo ho ho~"
Regarding the joining of Brook, most people present had no objections.
After all, there are quite a lot of talents in this team, including perverts and scumbags, so it doesn't hurt to have one more person with interesting bones.
One of the few people who had an opinion was Nana. After she approached Allen, she held his arm and begged, "Brother Allen, I'm afraid."
Allen touched her head and comforted, "It's okay, just treat him as nothing. If he dares to say anything shameless again, just teach him a lesson! You can even beat him to death!"
Hearing this, Brook broke out in a cold sweat. He originally wanted to say a few words of joy, but ended up saying that he wanted to beat himself to death. Now he was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word.
Then everyone started asking Brook why he could still speak with only bones left.
Brook didn't hold back at all. He told everything about the time when he was at Rumbar Pirates decades ago and what happened when he ate Revive-Revive Fruit.
When it came time to introduce each other, Brook fell into memories when he heard the name of Gol D·Allen.
"I remember that there was a very famous rookie pirate named Gol D! What was his name?"
Brook held his chin and thought for a moment, "It seems to be called Roger!"
At this time, Yamato stood on tiptoes and came closer.
Allen was a little confused, but still cooperated with him, and then Yamato whispered with his mouth close to Allen's ear, "He may have educated you Father before!"
Allen rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "If you don't know how to speak, just say less."
Then, Robin asked doubtfully, "Have you been here alone for so many years?"
Brook nodded. "Yes, in this dead silence Sea Area, the only thing that accompanies me is the loneliness of Endless."
"Sometimes, I even doubt whether I still really exist. I wander in this vast mist, longing for a sound from the outside world, longing to meet people like you."
Nana asked cautiously from a few meters away, "Why don't you leave here and go for a walk, let more people know that bones can also talk."
