Chapter 265 The Newly Opened [Shawn's Bamboo Bargain Bra]
Several days later, a giant golden eyeball floated above the Sabaody Archipelago amidst a strange laugh, disappearing behind the clouds.
"That golden spaceship is so cool!"
"However, going to the toilet is a bit of a hassle. Oh, I almost forgot, I'm a skeleton, so I don't need to go to the toilet~"
"Yoho~ Yohohoho~~~"
Loki lay sprawled at the end of the platform extending from the golden sphere, vomiting rainbow-colored liquid from his wide-open mouth.
"B-Big brother, we absolutely can't let that skeleton sail the ship anymore, ugh—"
"That guy shook out everything I ate this morning!"
Bazel's complexion wasn't much better. Although he didn't vomit, his throat felt itchy, as if something was about to come out.
"Shut up, Loki, go downwind and throw up, I can't take it anymore."
"No, brother, the Shandians have taken over the downwind platform. I was driven here by them."
Bazel's nose twitched slightly, and an extremely strong sour smell rushed into her nasal cavity.
She covered her mouth, quickly ran to Loki's side, and joined the vomiting army.
"I swear, I will never, ever let Brook touch the Golden Eye again."
"Loki, you'll keep an eye on me. If I ever make a mistake, don't hesitate to slap me to wake my lost soul!"
"No, no problem."
Looking at the two people vomiting side by side, Brooke scratched his head.
"That's strange, your physical condition is quite poor, you only turned a few times."
Bazel and Loki, transformed into burning, triangular-eyed demons, shouted in unison, "You skeleton bastard, get out of the driver's seat!" *2
"How did you manage to drift eighteen times in a row over a distance of only a few hundred meters!?"
"Get out of here!"
Loki, ignoring the mosaic on his lips, used his hammer to shoo Brook away from the driver's seat.
"From now on, this spot is my exclusive seat!"
I tried to grab the gear shift lever, but found that both the button and the gear shift lever had disappeared.
Bazel stood up again, expressionless: "From now on, neither of you will be allowed to touch the Golden Eye. I will control it myself."
"Big brother!!"
"Bazelsan!!"
Seeing the giants and skeletons clinging to his body and legs, Bazel quickly killed them, though he hesitated.
Before he could say anything, a figure sped down from below.
"Brook!!"
Baroric rushed towards the Golden Eyes, his expression excited as he walked towards Brook.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Brooke. The last time I saw you was when I was very young."
"What about the rest of the Rumbar Pirates? I still remember the song you all played that day!"
"Everyone is dead, Barolorik."
Brooke adjusted the top hat he was wearing.
"Because I ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Fruit of the Underworld), my soul was separated from the Yomi Yomi after I died."
"When I find my own body."
Brooke spun around in front of Barlowic, a smile spreading across his skeletal face.
"It's turned into this skeleton now, yo ho ho ho~"
"You're still the same cheerful person you always were."
After giving Brooke a light hug, Barolorick remarked, "Back then, I was inspired by your dream and always wanted to travel the world and see all the sights."
"After finally getting to sea as an adult, I couldn't find your Rumbar Pirates no matter what I did, so I ended up sailing the ocean all by myself."
"Alone~"
When he saw Brooke reach out and gently stroke Baloric's head, Bazel's expression turned strange.
When did Barolorick become so well-behaved?
"You're still the same as when you were a child. Do you hate other people's ugly hearts?"
Barolorik was completely devoid of the arrogance he displayed when he met Bazel, and instead grinned like a young boy.
"I rarely use Observation Haki to read their minds anymore; I only use it during battle."
"But you, even without using my domineering aura to sense your heart, I can still feel freedom from your laughter."
"Then let's play a song, it's been a long time, Barolorik, do you still remember the melody?"
Seeing Brooke take out his violin, Barolok nodded vigorously.
"Of course, Mr. Brooke!!"
Hmph hmph hmph♪~~
A song that Bazel had never heard before came from the two of them.
Only after the song ended did Barolorik have time to greet Bazel.
"Thank you so much for finding Mr. Brooke. I've been searching for them at sea for decades."
"Although I couldn't see the rest of the Rumbar Pirates, being able to reunite with Mr. Brook is the best thing for me."
"I will keep my promise and fight against the Knights of God together."
"That matter isn't urgent; let that bullet fly for a few more days."
The image of Stussy's voice and smile flashed through Bazel's mind.
"Baroric, has the slave auction started yet?"
"Just this afternoon."
Barolorik pulled an invitation from his crimson tuxedo.
"This is the entrance—"
"You don't think I'm going to an auction, do you?"
Bazel grinned, but his smile was devoid of any warmth, filled entirely with murderous intent.
"The Fish-Men and the Beast Pirates are strategic allies, as I have said before."
"I'll kill anyone who dares to auction off the merman."
"Only when the source of evil is completely eliminated, only when slave traders no longer dare to take chances, will the slave trade truly disappear."
"Today is the day I fulfill my promise. No one can stop me, not even the Five Elders or the Knights of God."
"Since those slave traders enjoy the exorbitant profits from the slave trade, I'll turn them into precious gold!"
Shaki's Bamboo-Pounding Bra
"Phew~~ It's finally reopened. It really wasn't easy."
Xia Qi stood at the door with a cigarette dangling from her lips, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Although it was still spring, this sexy woman in her thirties was already wearing a light-colored shirt.
Her sleeves were rolled up, and the hem was tied up, revealing a waist that could be encircled with one hand.
"Hey, Xiaqi, I'm here to patronize your business."
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Xia Qi's smile froze.
"Please look after other people's businesses; my bar is closed today."
"As long as the Beasts Pirates show up, Shakky's 'knock-off bra' will absolutely not be open for business!"
"Don't be so heartless. I was the matchmaker who brought you and Rayleigh together."
As he walked past Shakky, the overly friendly Bazel pushed open the door and led the skeleton, the nobleman, and the bear into the bar.
"Miss, may I see how fat you are?"
"I advise you not to do this, Brook. Shakky is Rayleigh's girlfriend."
He walked into the bar, squatted down as if he knew his way around, took out a bottle of wine from the safe, and then took out three wine glasses.
After some ice was poured in, the scarlet liquid gushed out of the bottle.
"Barolorik, have a drink, we have something big to do this afternoon."
Barolorick picked up the glass, sniffed it lightly, and then looked disgusted.
"Rubbish."
Shakky's lips twitched: "Baroric, if you don't like garbage, don't drink it. Get out of here. And Bazel, you and that skeleton mascot too."
"Get out of my shop right now, you bastard! You never bring anything good when you show up!"
"After drinking too much high-end stuff, you have to try the taste of lower-end liquor."
Barrolick sat at the bar, completely ignoring Shakky's bulging veins on her forehead, and slowly commented on the drink in his hand.
"No fruity aroma, no aftertaste, ugh."
Bazel left the bar area, handing a drink to Bear as he went.
"Hey bear, it's rare for us to be out having fun, don't be so serious~ Before the really big event happens, sit down and have a drink."
Xiong took the wine glass and smiled, "I have to go back to Golden Eyes later. Those kids keep asking me to tell them more stories."
Shakky, who had been staring at the bear, looked away. "So, Bazel, when did you and Lone Red become so close? And who is that skeleton?"
My name is Brooke.
Brook, who was still admiring the decor, teleported over and sat on a chair not far from Shakky.
"Oh, here's a rather silly question."
"May I ask what color you're wearing today?"
"Shut up, Brooke!"
Bazel slapped Brook on the head with a chop to the head, clearly annoyed.
"Didn't I say this guy has a girlfriend?"
At the same time, Xia Qi lowered her head.
"Today? I think today is...~~"
Brooke was stunned when she heard Shakky mention a color.
His bones turned red at a visible speed.
The skull opened, spewing out a plume of hot mist.
"You, you're such a kind person!!!"
"So blunt! I'm about to have a nosebleed! Oh no, I'm a skeleton without a nose!"
Yohohoho~~
Hahaha~~
Barrorick, standing nearby, grinned and said, "Mr. Brooke is as funny as ever."
"What's so funny about this?!"
Bazel sighed, "Shakky, we'll only stay here for one noon."
"I plan to go to the slave auction house this afternoon."
Slave auction?
Shakky seemed to suddenly remember something and said in surprise, "So you came here for that matter? I thought your Beast Pirates had stopped caring about these things after you went into hiding."
"This auction is a secret, how did you know? -- Oh, it was you."
Shaki, who had stopped abruptly, looked at Baroric.
"I'm not surprised you were invited to this kind of auction. What benefits did those slave traders promise you?"
"It seems they were planning to send me a slave, but I didn't take it."
He picked up his glass and took a sip, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face as he faced Shaki.
"I'm used to sailing alone; any extra people would just be a burden to me."
"I just came here to join in the fun and see if I can have a fight with Roger."
"It's too late if you want to fight Roger and the others."
Xia Qi flicked the cigarette butt out of the bar.
"Shortly after Bazel's battle with the water gods, Roger and his crew coated themselves and went to the seabed, intending to travel from there to the New World."
"Right now...they're probably sailing somewhere in the New World, aren't they?"
"Is that so? That's a real shame."
It was a pity, but there was not a trace of regret on Baloric's face.
"Then we'll have to experience the power of the Knights of God firsthand. Bazel, are you sure they're coming back?"
"It wasn't them, it was her."
Under Shakky's gaze, a hint of amusement crept into Bazel's smile.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm very interested in that woman who never ages, and she seems to be from Brooke's hometown."
"People from my hometown?" Brooke was stunned, and a picture suddenly popped into his mind.
That was when he was still alive.
A scene of singing and dancing with a little girl —
Is that her?
That's impossible!
She should be dead by now.
"Did you remember anything?"
When asked by Bazel, Brooke shook his head.
"Before I set sail and became a pirate, I was the captain of a guard regiment of a certain kingdom in the West Blue."
"Besides His Majesty the King, I am often the personal bodyguard of the Princess."
"But those are all—"
"That happened a long time ago. Even if Her Highness were still alive, she would definitely be an old woman."
"Besides, she was just an ordinary princess and didn't eat a Devil Fruit."
"And she's not the immortal woman that Bazel mentioned."
Barzel did not argue.
Whether Brooke actually knew Junzi is still in doubt.
He was also taking a gamble; it would be best if the two parties knew each other.
There's no loss in not knowing him; in fact, it adds another asset to our side.
"You'll probably remember each other once you meet, but for now..."
"Let's look forward to the auction."
