Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Then a black blade was placed against Lola's neck...

"Uh? Ah... well, well, I was just... I was just kidding!"

Feeling the chilling coldness against his neck, and looking at the aloof young woman holding a knife in front of him...

Laura broke out in a cold sweat and quickly changed her tune: "Please...please don't take my words seriously!"

"..."

Kuina silently withdrew the Wado Ichimonji that covered her Armament Haki.

After sheathing her sword, she calmly said, "Please don't mind, anyone who shows malice towards our captain will be someone I need to eliminate..."

Laura: "..."

That's probably not the reason, is it?

Where did she show any malice?

However, she didn't dare say it aloud, and could only nod hurriedly: "I...I understand..."

"Wow, what an amazing swordsman! Such sharp swordsmanship!"

That signature laugh naturally belonged to Brook, who was surprised by Guina's actions.

This female swordsman is so fast, her swordsmanship is so sharp...

Given that she was a woman of exceptional beauty and poise, Brook instinctively blurted out, "So, this beautiful lady, could I..."

Then Brook was stared at by Kuina's sharp gaze, and dared not say anything more, only managing a dry laugh: "Yohohoho~~"

"Humph!"

Seeing that Brooks didn't continue, Guina let out a soft hum.

Although she didn't know what Brook was going to say next, Kuina thought it must have been something rude.

If the other party dares to continue, her sheathed Wado Ichimonji will be drawn again...

"Is it really a moving skeleton?"

Nami, still embarrassed from her earlier embarrassment, remained calm in front of Brook with his afro and skull-like hair, determined to save face: "You must be Brook, right?"

"Hey, do you guys recognize me?"

Brook hadn't introduced himself and was surprised that someone knew him.

"Hehehe, am I, Skull Brook, really that famous?"

Then Brook started jokingly saying, "Are you saying I'm handsome? Even though I don't have 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 looked at each other, and both could see 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. Brook.”

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

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

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

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

"Mr. Crocus and Raab?"

These two familiar names made Brook feel as if he 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..."

"Do we...do I...have the face to see it again?"

A wave of sadness washed over him. They had betrayed Raab; how could they possibly face him?

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, Brook removed his top hat and bowed to Rocks and the others...

He said with a sincere tone, "Thank you so much. You came all this way to find me for this. I will never forget this kindness."

The other party went to such a dangerous place to look for him for this matter. What a great favor this is!

It also deeply moved him!

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

It was gratitude, and also the excitement of hearing news of their comrades...

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

Lola was so moved that she burst into tears, wiping them away with a handkerchief: "Waaah, that whale named Laboon, and Mr. Brook, your story is so touching!"

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

Locus: "..."

Are you all so easily moved to tears?

Rocks disliked this sentimental scene and said to Brook, "No need for that. I've already received payment from Mr. Crocus."

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

"Hehehe, I'm really embarrassed..."

Brook 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 to keep it.

However, he needs to represent the rest of the Lombard Express team to fulfill his promise to Raab!

Now, the only thing limiting him is his shadow, which still lingers on that zombie swordsman's body.

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

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

Laura also composed herself and solemnly said to Lox, "If it's possible, we are willing to contribute our strength."

"May your fame surpass even that of 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 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 "Sea Emperor" was.

And she was even more startled when she saw the members of the Blackwing Demon Lord's F.

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

How do we know this?

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

"Ok?"

Lox 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 did it to solidify your title as the ‘Fifth Sea Emperor’…”

Lola chuckled awkwardly, "After all, two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea have already died at your hands..."

That's definitely 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. Brooks' shadow is still under his control, isn't it?"

“Now that I have accepted the commission, I will naturally make sure Mr. Brooks goes to Twin Capes to find Laboon, which is also included in the commission.”

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

Judging from the performance in the original work.

Moria's strength was not taken seriously by Rocks.

Even if Moria's last "shadow gathering place" gathered the power of a thousand people, it was not worth Rocks' attention.

Unless the other party can control and flatter the lack of N power.

Otherwise... they wouldn't be able to threaten Lox!

"This……"

Laura wanted to say something more.

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

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

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 Wizard"!

"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 'bang,' 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 the form of a burly man with a muscular 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 act like that damned Kaido and swagger around here?"

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

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

In his perception, "Blackwing Demon" Rocks was far inferior to "Beast" Kaido.

The two are not even in the same league!

The other party is not qualified to be called the "Emperor of the Sea" at all!!

Chapter 169 Join us, Moria! Negative Nami: 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 imposing words, Locke remained calm and composed, grinning as he said, "I'm here to recruit you. Interested in working for me?"

We've met the person in question.

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

Lox thought the other party had great potential!

"Huh? I'll do it with you?"

Moria paused for a moment.
