Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Is it really a moving skeleton?"

Despite her earlier embarrassment, Nami remained calm in front of Brook, who sported an afro and a skull, and tried to save face: "You must be Brook, right?"

"Hey, do you guys recognize me?"

Brooke was surprised that someone recognized him since he hadn't introduced himself.

"Yo ho ho ho, am I, Skeleton Brook, really that famous?"

Then Brooke started jokingly saying, "Are you saying I'm handsome? Even though I have no flesh and blood, just a skeleton, hehehe~~"

Nami: "..."

What an abstract skeleton!

Robin watched Brook with great interest; living skeletons were extremely rare, almost like "rare beasts"...

Xiao Yi was equally curious; it was the first time she had ever seen a moving skeleton.

Wapa and Lachi exchanged glances, both seeing the same message in each other's eyes—Qinghai is truly amazing, even this kind of "creature" exists there...

“Of course I know you, Mr. Brooke.”

Lockes was familiar with Brook and didn't mind his rambling. He said to Brook, "One of the reasons we came here is to find you."

Hearing that they were looking for him, Brooke became more serious, though it wasn't outwardly apparent: "Looking for me? I don't think I know you."

“We passed by Reverse Mountain before, and met Mr. Crocus and Laboon at Twin Capes. We learned some things about you from Crocus…”

Lockes briefly explained the whole story: "So Mr. Crocus entrusted us to come to the Devil's Triangle to find you, hoping that you could return and reunite with Laboon."

"Mr. Crocus and Raab?"

These two familiar names made Brooke feel as if she had traveled back nearly fifty years.

Hearing Lox say that Laboon was still waiting for them, he felt a pang of sadness and murmured, "Really? Does Laboon still remember our promise?"

"Even though we broke our promise, even though it didn't need to wait for us, it still waited for us patiently for nearly fifty years..."

"It's our fault. We let it down and abandoned it..."

"How...how...can I still face it?"

A sense of sadness settled over Brooke. They had let Rab down; how could they possibly face each other?

No, we need to go back.

Even if he's the only one left, he still needs to fulfill his promise!

Taking a deep breath, Brooke removed his top hat and bowed to Rocks and the others...

He said with a sincere tone, "Thank you so much. You came all the way here specifically for this matter. I will never forget this kindness."

The other party went to such a dangerous place to find him for this very reason; what an immense favor that is!

It also deeply moved him!

Although he is now a skeleton without a heart, his heart is burning with passion.

It was gratitude, and also the excitement of hearing news of a comrade...

"Waaaaah, a fifty-year promise! Such a long time, and we're still waiting?"

Lola was so moved that she burst into tears, wiping them away with a handkerchief: "Waaah, that whale named Laboon, and Mr. Brooke, what you did was so touching!"

Lola's other companions were also deeply moved, constantly wiping away tears...

Locus: "..."

Are you guys so easily moved to tears?

Rocks disliked such sentimental scenes and said to Brooke, "No need for that. I've already been paid by Mr. Crocus."

"If you want to thank me, go and meet up with Raab as soon as possible. I am also very moved by your story with Raab."

"Oh ho ho ho, I'm really embarrassed..."

Brooke smiled.

Then, looking towards the distant castle, he said earnestly, "I will retrieve the shadow as soon as possible, then leave this place and head to Twin Capes to meet up with Laboon..."

They heard that Raab had waited for them for nearly fifty years.

He naturally wanted to go to Twin Capes immediately to meet Laboon and fulfill their promise.

Although this promise was made many years late, he was the only one left.

However, he needs to fulfill his promise to Laboon on behalf of the rest of the Rumbar Pirates!

The only thing limiting him now is his shadow still clinging to that zombie swordsman.

A person who has lost their shadow cannot live in the sunlight!

"Lord Blackwing Demon, you've come for Mr. Brook, and also to hunt down Moonlight Moria, haven't you?"

Lola also composed herself and solemnly said to Lox, "If possible, we are willing to contribute our strength."

"May your fame surpass even the past, and may the name of the 'Five Emperors' resound throughout the entire world!"

She was naturally aware of the existence of "Blackwing Demon" Lox.

The newspaper I received not long ago contained relevant information about the other party.

She was also quite shocked when she saw the story of the fifth Sea Emperor.

As a member of the Charlotte family, she naturally knew just how terrifying the "Emperor of the Sea" was.

And she was even more startled after seeing the members of the Blackwing Demon Pirates.

A thought popped into his mind—could the other party be here to hunt down Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Why do you see it?

Because the other side has already killed two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

"Ok?"

Rocks looked at Lola in surprise and asked, "When did I say I was going to hunt down Moonlight Moria?"

"Huh? Isn't that right? I thought you were doing this to solidify your title as the 'Fifth Emperor of the Sea'..."

Lola gave an awkward smile: "After all, two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea have already died at your hands..."

That's exactly what she thought.

No, I would say many people think that way, right?

"Although I'm not here to hunt Moria, I do want to have a chat with him."

Lockes counted on his fingers: "Well, a fight is inevitable. Mr. Brook's shadow is still under his control, isn't it?"

“Now that I have accepted the commission, I will naturally make sure that Mr. Brook can go to Twin Capes to find Laboon. This is also included in the commission.”

"As for help, there's no need. I can handle him on my own. No, I should say I wish he were even stronger..."

Judging from the portrayal in the original work.

Rocks didn't really take Moria's strength seriously.

Even if Moria's final "Shadow Gathering Place" gathered the power of a thousand people, it wouldn't be worth Rocks' attention.

Unless the other party can control and utilize that power.

Otherwise... he wouldn't pose a threat to Rocks!

"This……"

Laura wanted to say something more.

Rocks, however, looked toward a spot and smirked: "Looks like he wasn't crippled by Kaido, Gecko Moria."

"No, did he regain some of his former willpower after being beaten up?"

They sensed a powerful aura rushing towards them.

That figure was none other than Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, also known as the "Shadow Mage"!

"Hehehe, you've got some nerve, 'Black Winged Demon' Lox, daring to come to my territory!"

Before the person arrived, the sound preceded them. With a loud 'boom,' a pitch-black shadow descended from the sky, smashing a crater into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow in the pit faded from black.

Gradually, he took on the appearance of a burly man with a massive build, fiery purple hair, and a disproportionately large body...

"Hehehehe..."

Moonlight Moria's gaze swept over everyone present.

Finally, the attack landed on Rocks, who opened his mouth to reveal sharp fangs: "What? Trying to show off like that damned Kaido in front of me?"

"Or do you still want to use me as a stepping stone for you? To make your title of 'Fifth Sea Emperor' even more resounding?"

"But that's not enough. You're not capable of bearing that title right now!"

In his perception, "Black Winged Demon" Rocks was far inferior to "Beasts" Kaido.

The two are not even in the same league!

The other party is completely unworthy of being called the "Emperor of the Sea"!

Chapter 169 Join Us, Moria! Nami (Negative): What kind of Thor am I...?

"Don't get so worked up. I didn't come here to beat you up."

Upon hearing Moria's aggressive words, Rocks remained calm and composed, grinning as he said, "I'm here to recruit you. Interested in working for me?"

I've met the person in question.

Moreover, not only was the opponent not crippled by Kaido, but it seemed that he had regained his will.

Lox believed the other party had great potential!

"Huh? I'll work with you?"

Moriah paused for a moment.
