Chapter 157 Binx Wine

"Hey, what is this?"

Luffy casually caught the letter thrown by Kuma, and read it while stuffing food into his mouth.

The others also stood up and gathered behind him, except for Zoro and Robin who had already eavesdropped.

Both of them looked solemn and as if they were thinking about something.

They all knew that Luffy's father was Dragon, the number one criminal of the World Government. With this relationship, he should not be regarded as a Shichibukai.

But what they didn't know was that Bartholomew Xiong in front of them was once a revolutionary cadre.

For the Five Elder Stars, what they care more about is the benefits that can be brought. As for their identities, no one would know as long as they don’t announce them.

At worst, you can just secretly erase it after you’ve used it.

"An invitation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Luffy read the contents of the letter.

"Nani!!"

Upon hearing this, Franky and others behind him widened their eyes on the spot!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are known as the three major forces on the ocean along with the Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors!
This dreaded title, the Seven Warlords of the Sea that once stood high above them, is now about to fall on their heads?

And the person invited was actually this silly captain in front of him?
"Hey, hey, is it true?!"

"These are the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Usopp's eyes widened, and he looked back and forth at the letter. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't believe that the World Government would invite Luffy.

"Do you know what this means, Luffy?"

Usopp was very excited and he kept shaking Luffy by the shoulders.

"This is an invitation that only pirates who can dominate the world can receive. If you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the navy will no longer hunt us down, and you will also gain a powerful reputation and status!"

"Only the most powerful pirates can receive an invitation. It sounds so impressive." Luffy grinned.

"But correspondingly, you also have to bear some responsibilities. This fame and status are granted by the World Government, and sometimes you need to act according to their instructions."

On the sofa nearby, Robin put down the book and said calmly: "So in the sea, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are called the running dogs of the World Government by many people."

"What? Then I don't want it." Luffy looked at the letter in his hand with disgust.

"Is this a rejection?!"

"So fast!"

"Wait a minute, Luffy, there's no need to be so decisive. Why don't you reconsider it? After all, you are a Shichibukai."

Everyone spoke up, saying that being a Shichibukai has many advantages, as one doesn't have to face the navy, which is like a dog-skin plaster, everywhere.

Moreover, many pirate activities can be legalized, which can provide them with a lot of convenience.

"Hehehe, forget it. That stinky crocodile and the big flaming onion are both Shichibukai, right? I don't want to become like them."

Luffy bared his teeth and showed an innocent smile, turned his head to look at the few people, and said: "Besides, what I want to be is the Pirate King. If I become a Shichibukai, I can't be the Pirate King."

"That's true."

Sanji raised his hand to support his chin and looked at him in disbelief, "I didn't expect you to be so smart."

"How can you be sure that Luffy will refuse?"

On the Merry, Nami looked at Reiner. She was shocked when she heard the news.

"As for the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Luffy wants to be the king, not the underlord."

Reiner said nonchalantly that he had thought about suggesting Luffy to accept it first, and then stab him in the back!
As for the so-called obedience to the instructions of the world government
Don't be ridiculous. Which of the serious Seven Warlords of the Sea would listen to those clowns?

But that is his style. Luffy obviously won't think about these things. As long as he knows that he has to be restricted by others, he will never agree to it because he is so stubborn.

"Too."

Nami smiled slightly, went to the second floor balcony and opened the dormitory door, turned back and took his hand, "It's Luffy after all, come in with me."

"Wait a minute, this isn't good."

Reiner pulled back and waved his hand, smiling, "It's not appropriate to do this in the girls' dormitory."

"You hypocrite! I see you've been itching for a long time. What are you thinking about? I just asked you to come in and sleep with me for a while." Nami rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

"Oh, okay." Reiner followed in without much interest.

Nami's bed was next to the window, with a blue water mattress covered with a white bedspread.

Robin's bed was next to them, and the two girls probably had many late night talks there.

The male and female dormitories are the same size. Although there are only two people here, the extensive furnishings make it feel cozy.

Nami changed into a cute set of pajamas and returned to bed, hugging Reiner and falling asleep peacefully.

After tossing and turning for a day and a night, she was already exhausted both physically and mentally. She didn't have the physique of a monster.

Nami rested her forehead on his chest, closed her eyes peacefully, and slowly fell asleep in the warmth.

Reiner didn't get up until her breathing gradually calmed down. He covered Nami with the quilt and went to the deck.

He left the wizard's undead ghost and the green and red ghosts to guard the island, while he flew back to the island with the falcon.

Kuma was no longer there at this time, and he simply ignored the Five Elders' order to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates. He just took Moria away.

Originally, he wanted to test Luffy's companions, but gave up after seeing their strength. If a real fight broke out, he would probably be left behind.

Unknowingly, the Straw Hat Pirates have grown to this level.

He once went to the Windmill Village in the East China Sea, hid in the woods, and secretly observed Luffy.

At that time, Luffy was just a young boy, but now he has become a captain of a pirate group that cannot be underestimated, supported by a group of powerful and famous subordinates.

"You are my son, Drago. He will surely become a great pirate in the future."

Xiong muttered to himself, holding two bounty warrants in his hands.

One is a grinning Luffy, the other is a girl with long pink hair and gold rings in the corners of her eyes. The captain of the Bonney Pirates, the glutton Bonney, bounty, 140 million Baileys!

"You have become a great pirate too."

The corners of the bear's mouth slowly curved up, and a gentle smile appeared on his rough face.

Haw!

The next moment, a crisp sound was heard, and the bear and Moria disappeared instantly.

"Yoshi! Let's get ready for the party!"

In the restaurant, beside the messy dining table, Luffy raised his fists and shouted excitedly.

Sanji smoked a cigarette, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and shook his head helplessly, "You just finished eating, I really wonder if there is a bottomless pit in your stomach."

"Hehehe, what's the big deal? Everyone is so happy, and we have to celebrate the addition of new partners. You will join us, right?"

Luffy looked at Brook with a smile.

"Yohohoho~~, thank you very much for inviting me, Captain Luffy. I am also looking forward to continuing my adventure with everyone. However, before that, I need to fulfill a promise between me and my friends."

Brooke smiled and said calmly, "He is a whale. We were unable to take him through the dangerous Great Passage when he was still young, so we had to leave him in the Twin Straits.

“We made a pact at that time that after sailing around the world, we would go back to find him;
"However, the dangers of the Grand Line were far beyond our imagination. Along the way, our companions left one by one. Now, fifty years have passed, and only a skeleton of me is left of the former Rumbar Pirates. But I have never forgotten for a moment, wondering if he is still waiting for me."

"He is still waiting for you."

The sudden words interrupted him, and Luffy smiled calmly: "You are talking about Lab."

Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp also looked over.

".No. That's right..How did you know that? Could it be that..."

Brook stared at Luffy blankly, his tone gradually becoming excited: "Have you seen Laboon? How is he? Is he doing well now? You said he is still waiting for us?!"

"Ah, we've met Laboon, he's doing well. And Uncle Broomhead, Laboon hasn't forgotten his promise to you, he's still waiting for you." Luffy said with a grin.

"Swoosh."

Hot tears flowed uncontrollably from Brook's hollow skull pupils.

This half-century-long agreement
Even though they don't know whether the other party still remembers it or has given up, they are silently holding on to each other.

Halfway across the world, this connection remains as strong as gold.

“Yohohohoho~~”

Brooke's teeth chattered as he laughed, but his eyes were filled with tears.
".Lab, I'm so glad to hear that you're safe. My tightly clenched heart finally seems to start beating, even though I'm a skeleton without a heart! Woo woo~~"

"Woooooaaaa! That's so touching, asshole!!"

Franky burst into tears, "You're just a skeleton, but you look so flesh and blood! You're so super!!"

Brooke was alone on a ghost ship filled with the corpses of his former companions, experiencing the double impact of happy and sad memories every day, and endured this for fifty years.

How lonely he must be, Chopper Usopp burst into tears.

"Hehehe, come with me, Brook. We'll circle the Grand Line and then go back to meet Laboon. Didn't you guys agree on this?" Luffy smiled and invited him again.

"yes."

Brooke covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her slender finger bones, dripping onto the ground.

At night, the banquet arrived as scheduled. In addition to the Straw Hat Pirates, Lola and everyone in the forest also attended the party.

"Let's toast to our new friend, Brooke!"

"cheers!!!"

The entire ghost castle was no longer gloomy, but filled with clinking glasses and laughter.

"Move aside, the food is served!!"

"Wow! The eyebrow curling guy's skills are really amazing!"

“I’ve never eaten such delicious food in my life!”

"Where's the wine? Where's the wine? Hurry up and serve it!"

Zoro yelled at Sanji, only to receive a rude response from the latter.

"Go get the green algae head yourself! I have no obligation to serve you!"

"Everyone is so happy."

Looking at the three funny people dancing on the table with chopsticks in their mouths, Nami couldn't help but feel happy. She turned her head and asked, "Speaking of which, where did you go later?"

"I went to find the corpse of a giant named Oz." Reiner took a sip of wine, put the glass down on the table and responded, his eyes fell on Brook not far away.

Next to a piano, slender fingertips jumped quickly on the keys.

A sound shell that recorded the Rumba Pirates' members singing at the top of their lungs before their death was placed on the piano and was singing loudly.

“Yo-ho-ho-ho~~, yo-ho-ho-ho~~.”

"I offer you Binx's fine wine~~, floating in the wind, swaying with the waves~~"

The singing is melodious, the chorus sounds, and the interweaving instruments are becoming fewer and fewer.

Quintet.Trio.Piano Solo
Yin Bei's voice gradually became smaller, and it seemed as if one could see the figures of those who were seriously injured and fell down while singing loudly.

The excited and high-spirited singing of his companions before their death was recorded with this sound shell and entrusted to him who possessed the Yomiuri Fruit, waiting for the day when he could bring everyone's voices back to Lab.

Yin Bei's voice gradually faded away, but the singing in the living room became louder and louder.

As times change and the old and the new alternate, it seems as if the scenes of the past are being reenacted before our eyes.

Brooke's hands kept jumping and he looked at the lively crowd around him, just like he used to be with his friends.

The inheritance of will will never be extinguished from generation to generation.
