Chapter 288 Banquet
At night, a banquet was held at Twin Gorge.
As the bonfire crackled, the tempting aroma spread throughout the space.
"Brooke, aren't you a skeleton? Why are you eating?"
Seeing Brook pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, Dekar's eyes were full of confusion.
"Yo ho ho ho, skeletons get hungry too."
"Can you go to the toilet?"
“Yes!”
"Hey, what about drinking water?"
"Don't drink."
Dekar's expression paused, and then he saw Brook holding up a glass of milk.
"I drink milk!"
Looking at Dekal's weird expression, Brook made a "Yo-ho-ho-ho" sound again.
While the two were chatting, Nako, wearing a pink dress, found Brooke.
"Brooke, want to play music with me?"
After listening to Brook's story during the day, he suddenly wanted to play a complete music for Laboon, just like the Rumba Pirates before.
She likes music because it can bring people happiness and make up for regrets.
"Yohohoho, beautiful lady, it's my honor."
"Oh, I don't know..."
Brook was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him, as if he would die if he spoke out.
"Don't know what?"
Brook wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his face and changed the subject, "Do you think I need to prepare some musical instruments for you?"
"No need, I'm the user of the Musical Instrument Fruit!"
As Nako spoke, a guitar tied with a pink bow suddenly appeared in her hand.
“So reliable!”
The two of them got ready and walked out to the clearing.
"I have some band members I want to introduce to you."
Seeing Brook looking at her, Nako threw out a row of Poké Balls from her waist.
Several red lights fell on the ground, revealing the figures of the Pokémon.
A large bird with a blue body covered in white feathers, the Tanabata Bluebird.
A red-bodied speaker cricket with a black mustache and a built-in violin.
A giant gorilla with forest-like hair and a drum hammer in his hand.
A sea lion with long navy hair, a slender body, and a blue shawl draped over her body.
A pair of Trembling Salamander twins, one with yellow markings and the other with blue markings.
“These are my bandmates, they’re really solid.”
“What a reliable band!”
Nako and Brooke introduced the band members and discussed their respective positions, and the performance was about to begin.
Nako waved her hand and many musical instruments suddenly appeared. Even Brook got a pink violin.
"Everyone, the music begins!"
Nako, who was sitting on the piano chair, gave a signal, and the melodious piano sound came out. The other members also began to play their own instruments, and a grand symphony began.
"Yo ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho!"
"Yo ho ho ho, yo ho ho ho!"
"Bringing you Binx's wine!"
........................
"Facing the wind, rain and huge waves!"
"My favorite flag is flying under the clear sky!"
........................
"Birds in the sky circle in pursuit of the setting sun!"
"Leaving the familiar port and missing my hometown!"
........................
The music immediately attracted everyone's attention as it started, and many people started singing along.
“Let’s dance!”
Decar put his hands on Carmen's shoulders and started dancing with him.
"That's childish."
Carmen complained, but her body still swayed with Dekal.
"Yo~"
Abu also shook his body happily and made happy sounds.
The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax. The children were all young and loved this cheerful atmosphere the most.
Even Enel, Kuma, Henry and others were dragged to dance.
Zel, Yixiao and Kurokas did not move, drinking and watching everyone dancing.
Of course, Yixiao can't see, he is blind.
"It's been a while since I've attended such a joyful party. I really miss it."
There was a flicker of fire in Crocus' eyes, as if he saw the members of Roger's former pirate group.
It was a pirate group that came together because of Roger, and they held a party basically every day.
"Why, do you miss your old friends?"
"Yes!"
"Didn't Jabba come to see you? I saw him a few years ago."
Jabba once appeared on Batalila Island and helped Zell hold back Kong, providing a lot of help.
"Jabba? He's probably wandering around. Even though he's retired, it's not easy for him to stay in one place."
"What about you? Do you plan to stay in Twin Gorges forever?"
"Why, do you want me to join you?"
"It's not impossible."
Upon hearing this, Kurokas raised his bowl, took a sip of wine, and spoke.
"Forget it. I'll just stay here with my old bones. It's a good opportunity for me to watch those passionate young people enter the Grand Line."
Seeing that Kurokas had no intention of leaving, Zel wasn't surprised, as he had only mentioned it casually anyway.
Whether it's Jabba, Crocus, or Rayleigh, they have all been to Raftel and have their own persistence.
Zell knew that they were waiting for someone, waiting for Joyboy.
In fact, Zel should be able to eat another devil fruit and become Joyboy. After all, the bloodline fruit is given by the system and has no side effects.
But he didn't do that, because that would have been too boring, and he didn't like fatalism.
………………
The next day, everyone who had a great day did not sleep in.
Exercising every morning has become their instinct. Even Zel has to do it, so they can't be lazy.
Of course, these are all lessons learned from Descartes' blood.
"You're so hardworking! I wonder how Shanks and Buggy are doing?"
Kulokas is considered an elderly person and gets up early every day.
Looking at a group of children who started exercising at a young age, Crocus couldn't help but think of the two little trainees in their Roger Pirates.
Time passed as everyone exercised, and as the sun rose to its highest point in the sky, it was time to leave.
"Abu, I'm leaving!"
"Brooke, goodbye!"
"By the way, your bone jokes aren't funny at all!"
Amidst the farewells of the crowd, the Watcher began to sail away and gradually disappeared on the sea.
………………
Naval Headquarters, Marinevandor.
"The Zell Pirates have returned to the Grand Line, and the battle between the Four Emperors is likely about to begin."
The high-ranking officers of the navy sat in the conference room and began to discuss Zell and his men's return to the Grand Line.
"These bastards have already caused chaos in the Four Seas, and now they are trying to wreak havoc on the Grand Line."
"I suggest launching a demon-slaying order to destroy the Zel Pirates!"
"You go if you want to go. I've failed before, so I still have to ask you to go."
Seeing that the marines were discussing nothing but nonsense, Sengoku looked towards Tsuru.
He frowned, she was thinking about something.
"Are the Zel Pirates really just traveling around the world?"
