Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 166 Nose-Gorge Brook! (First update, please subscribe!)

Dragon wings parted the mist, and the blue-eyed white dragon traversed the deep fog of the Devil's Triangle.

The thick fog that blotted out the sky did not affect the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's flight in any way.

Before long, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon flew to the front of an old, dilapidated antique sailboat.

On the damaged deck of this historic antique sailing ship.

A white skeleton is leisurely playing a piano piece, the melodious music of "Binks' Wine" surrounding it and drifting away into the distance with the mist.

This skeleton playing the piano is none other than the future musician of the Straw Hat crew—

Nose Song Brook!

Ding ding ding—dong!

Brook, who was playing the piano, was suddenly startled to see a terrifying dragon peeking out from the mist.

"Dragon! Are my eyes broken? Even though I don't have eyes... Yohohoho!"

The blue-eyed white dragon flapped its wings, stirring up a gust of wind that dispersed the dust and miasma on the deck of the antique sailboat.

Even the nimble Brooke was nearly blown off the deck by the sudden gust of wind.

"No! No! Stop! I'm going to be blown away!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Brooke."

Storm's figure appeared atop the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head, looking down at the skeleton on the deck below.

"I am Vongola Storm. Would you like to come up for a chat?"

"Huh? A person? A human!"

Brooke was startled and let out a strange laugh.

"Wow! It really is a human!"

Brook bent his knees slightly, leaped, and jumped directly from the deck of the antique sailboat onto the body of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Storm observed the skeleton up close and had to admit the extraordinary power of the [Yomi-Yum no Mi].

It has no effect while alive; it only has an effect when dead.

Write the title: "The Fruit of the Underworld".

It is read as "the fruit of resurrection".

"Hello, Mr. Vongola."

Brook stood on the back of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, straightened his back, and solemnly introduced it.

"I am Brook, the musician of the Rumbar Pirates and their last captain!"

"Mr. Brooke, to make a long story short..."

Storm got straight to the point.

Have you spotted any giant ships lately?

Storm arrived in the Devil's Triangle.

On one hand, he wanted to meet the gloomy, fat otaku "Magic Duck" who had been living here all along;

On the other hand, he heard from Crocodile that the Red Oni Brogy and the Blue Oni Dorry had disappeared in the Devil's Triangle.

Although Storm believed that with the strength of the Red Oni Brogy and the Blue Oni Dorry, they were fully capable of dealing with Gecko Moria.

However, it must be admitted that the Devil Fruits possessed by Gecko Moria and his subordinates are Devil Fruits that are very likely to cause "first-time kills".

If there is insufficient intelligence.

It's not impossible that the Red Demon Brogy and the Blue Demon Dorry will capsize in the gutter...

Storm had just sensed Brook's presence and discovered this "old-timer" who had lived in the Devil's Triangle for decades, so he came over specifically to inquire about the situation.

"Giant ships? I'm sorry, I've never seen them before."

Brooke first gave an honest answer, then let loose and started telling corny jokes to himself.

"Although I don't have eyes, I can still see things... Yohohoho!"

Brook did not encounter the ships of the Red Oni Brogy and the Blue Oni Dorry...

The Devil's Triangle is quite large, and it's covered in thick fog, resulting in extremely low visibility, so it's normal not to encounter it...

Storm nodded, accepting Brooke's explanation.

Immediately, Storm looked at Brooke and suddenly extended an invitation.

"Mr. Brooke, I'm going to the Thriller Bark now. Would you like to come with me?"

"Huh? Me?"

Brooke extended his long, thin fingers and pointed backwards at himself.

"Mr. Vongola, are you inviting me to join your team?"

"That's right!"

Storm said frankly and generously.

"Although Mr. Brook is not a highly skilled swordsman, his musical skills are superb, which is a special talent."

Sailing on the boundless sea, sometimes you really need music to brighten up your life.

"Ugh... I think I've been looked down upon... My face feels like it's burning, even though I'm shameless... Yohohoho!"

Brooke took off his tattered black bowler hat and scratched his thick, fluffy afro.

"However, please allow me to refuse, Mr. Vongola."

"My shadow has been taken away, and now I can no longer live in the sunlight."

"If I leave the Devil's Triangle, I'll die... although I've already died once, yohohoho!"

Brooke was laughing when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Vongola! You said you're going to Thriller Bark?"

"yes."

Storm nodded calmly.

"I came here specifically to find that guy, Gecko Moria."

"However, now, because of my two Titan friends, I have one more thing to 'communicate' with Gecko Moria."

"Gecko Moria..."

Brook remembered the "Shadow Ruler" who had so easily stolen his shadow, and the entire skeleton trembled with fear, the bones clanging against each other with a crisp "clattering" sound.

"That's a terrifying man; he's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, recognized by the World Government..."

"Who isn't?"

Storm shrugged and asked one last time.

"Mr. Brooke, I have just located the location of the Thriller Bark and am ready to set off immediately."

What is your decision?

Who isn't...? What does that mean?

I just discovered... what does that mean?

Brooke was completely bewildered.

The human he unexpectedly encountered today seems to be a very important person as well...

But regardless, he didn't want to see a stranger go to his death on the Thriller Bark.

"Although I'm not very strong, I've been working out hard to improve my physical condition over the past year."

Brooke mustered his courage and spoke earnestly.

"Please allow me to accompany you to Thriller Bark! At least I'll hold off the next enemy for you!"

"Although I don't think it's necessary, but... whatever makes you happy."

Storm extended his right hand to welcome Brooke.

"Mr. Brook, welcome to the Storm Pirates."

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Vongola Storm, captain of the Storm Pirates and a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"oh oh???"

Amid Brooke's scream, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon flapped its wings and took flight.

When he met Brook, Storm was still spreading his Observation Haki and had already located the Thriller Bark.

……

The terrifying three-masted sailing ship.

This enormous ship, adrift in the Devil's Triangle, could almost be a contender for the title of "world's largest ship."

Even describing it as a "sailboat" seems somewhat disrespectful.

This is a tiny island adrift on the sea!

"This is Thriller Bark, Mr. Vongola."

Brook traveled with Storm, but he still did not accept the other's invitation to join the crew, so at this time he was addressed as "sir" rather than "captain".

"Although it looks like a ship, it is actually an island that drifted over from the Western Sea."

"How much do you know about this?"

Storm looked at Brooke with a hint of curiosity.

"I mean, about the island."

"This island, its original name should be 'Valley of God', was once a non-World Government member state of the West Blue."

Brooke looked at the Thriller Bark not far ahead and told him everything he knew.

"In my memory, this island wasn't originally this small, and there weren't so many corpses or zombies on it."

"This place must have once been a resource-rich and beautiful island..."

"However, I don't know why it would appear here from the West Sea."

"It probably flew here, right? Hehehe!"

Brook, born in the West Sea, was originally the captain of the guard of a certain kingdom.

It's not surprising that he knew the general situation of God Valley.

"Perhaps this island really did 'drift' from the Western Sea."

Storm nodded, agreeing with Brooke's statement.

"From the Western Sea, across the Red Earth Continent, and then thrown into the Devil's Triangle..."

"Huh? Mr. Vongola, what did you say?"

Brooke was taken aback, and he waved his hands repeatedly.

"I was just joking!"

"But I'm not joking."

"Stromb said seriously."

"Brook, have you ever heard of the name Rocks D. Giebeck?"

"Rocks D. Giebeck..."

Brooke scratched his afro and recalled for a moment.

"I think there used to be a newcomer with this name..."

Newcomer...

Storm's lips twitched slightly.

Brook entered the Grand Line around 1472 in the Sea Calendar.

What does this mean?

Let me put it this way.

Fujitora Issho, who will become the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters in the future, was actually born in 1470 of the Sea Calendar...

From a "human" perspective, Brook is an absolute "veteran pirate"!

"In short, the Rocks Pirates caused the 'God Valley Incident,' after which God Valley completely disappeared in the West Blue."

Storm gave a brief overview of the God Valley incident, and then continued...

"This 'terror three-masted ship' should be the remnant of the Valley of the Gods from back then."

"If it really did 'drift' from the West Sea, the only one capable of doing that would probably be Shiki the Golden Lion and his 'Float-Float Fruit'."

"Shiki the Golden Lion..."

Brooke was once again lost in memories.

"It seems to be the name of some newcomer?"
