"Dry rice, dry rice!"
At the dining table, everyone devoured the food in front of them as quickly as possible, as if something terrible would happen if they were slow.
"Yohohoho, this is so exciting!"
"What's wrong with you?" Usopp asked Brook. "You've been super excited since this morning."
"What exactly happened?"
As he spoke, Usopp glanced at Xiyan. If he remembered correctly, Xiyan was always the first one to wake up every day. Did the other party know something?
"I know!" Mary said, holding out her little hand. "Brook said he looked at the nautical log yesterday."
"That's right!"
Brooke exclaimed excitedly, "I've read everyone's adventure logs, and they're so exciting!"
"For you all, the Thriller Bark incident is utterly insignificant!"
"The Alabasta rebellion has been quelled!"
"We went to the legendary Sky Island!"
"You even clashed with the World Government in Water Seven and Enies Lobby, and even the Buster Call was no match for you..."
"Seeing all this, I was so shocked my heart almost jumped out of my chest!"
"Ah, even though I don't have a heart, yo-ho-ho-ho!"
The contents recorded in the diary filled Brook with immense excitement. How wonderful it would be if he could participate in those operations with his companions!
"Without realizing it, we've already been through so much, hahaha!" Usopp laughed loudly.
"That's true. I wonder what else we'll experience in the future."
Nami looked down at her chin and began to dream about the future.
"From today onwards, you will also be written into the nautical logbook, Brooke."
"That's exactly what I wanted to say!" Brooke slammed his hand on the table, excitedly declaring, "Now that I've become everyone's partner, I must make some contributions!"
Seeing Brooke's excitement, the others laughed. Clearly, they understood Brooke's thoughts.
"Hey, Brook~" west Yan grinned and said, "I have a suggestion for you."
"Mr. Xiyan, I am all ears."
"Here, you absolutely cannot relax while eating!"
"Yes, I will be fully prepared!" Brooke waved his hand and said, "If any enemy tries to attack us at this time, I will..."
Just then, Luffy, who was eating nearby, suddenly said, "That dish of food looks good, it's mine!"
"Huh?!"
Brook was dumbfounded when he saw Luffy take away his plate of food.
"So that's what 'don't loosen' meant."
He thought enemies might take advantage of this moment to attack the Straw Hat Pirates, but... it turns out... it's because Mr. Luffy eats too wildly, and the food might run out at any moment?
Brook glanced at Luffy, who was happily eating, and suddenly laughed.
Although the food was taken away, it means that Mr. Luffy did not discriminate, but treated everyone equally.
Brook glanced at Luffy, who was being fed chili peppers for stealing Usopp's meat, and laughed even harder.
"Yohohoho~"
"I will work even harder so that I can become everyone's partner as soon as possible!!"
"Don't be so tense, relax."
Sanji patted Brook on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down and eat, and then handed him a plate of food.
Obviously, Sanji knew Luffy's nature, so he always prepared a very large amount of food for him, without worrying that anyone would go hungry.
As for not being able to eat?
With Luffy around, we can eat anything!
"Yes, I will try my best to eat!"
"Yohohoho!"
Watching Brook quickly devour the food, Sanji smiled and said, "That's more like it."
We're already partners, why say such formal things? Let's just eat.
Soon, thanks to Luffy's efforts, not a single grain of rice was left; he devoured it all.
"Mr. Luffy really can eat a lot..." Brook remarked.
It's fair to say that most of the food ended up in Mr. Luffy's stomach, while the others only ate a small portion.
"Hahaha, is it because Sanji's cooking is so delicious!" Luffy said with a loud laugh.
After saying that, Luffy ran off.
Seeing this, the others also left the restaurant one after another to do their own things.
"Mr. Sanji, let me help you wash the dishes!" Brook volunteered.
"Oh, that's a huge help!"
Sanji gave Brook a thumbs-up, showing his appreciation.
"Meili, let's go too," west Yan said to Meili. "I'll teach you something."
"Also, let's test how well you've learned what you've learned before."
"The ones from before..."
Little Mei's eyes became somewhat unfocused; she was clearly not a good student.
Seeing this, west Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems our little Mei Li hasn't been studying hard enough."
"Come on, come out with me, I'm going to test you."
Watching west Yan walk away, Mei Li sighed resignedly.
She knew she couldn't escape this test.
Left with no other choice, Meili could only follow Xiyan onto the deck.
After skillfully taking out a small scroll from his ninja tool bag, he clapped his hands together and turned it into a large scroll.
west Yan spread it out on the ground and sat down on it as well.
"Come on, little one."
"I have taught you how to make the scroll of the psychic technique. Now draw it for me in the way you know."
10. "After that, we will study other sealing techniques."
This little guy can't learn ninjutsu; he can only work on sealing techniques.
However... if one can master sealing techniques, they can be extremely useful.
"Okay, I understand..."
Mei Li pouted and obediently sat on the ground to start drawing. It was just that her drawing skills... made west Yan's eyelids twitch.
It seems the time was still too short.
But it's okay, it's better to start learning now than not to learn at all. He believed that the little guy would be able to learn it sooner or later.
As for the wasted reels?
He can make as much of this as he wants as long as he has enough materials, so he doesn't care about the cost.
"The ability to enlarge the scroll with a simple clap of both hands is truly enviable," Chopper remarked.
Seeing Chopper approaching, west Yan asked, "Are you planning to dry these herbs?"
"Hmm, it's rare to find some decent herbs."
Although the environment around the sails in the Devil's Triangle isn't great, some rather unique herbs still grow there.
"Let me help you."
"OK!"
Seeing Chopper walk to the side to dry herbs, Merry's little eyes immediately darted around.
"No slacking off, do you hear me!"
Mary:
"understood."
Looking at the now obedient Meili, west Yan snorted. He knew all too well what the little one was thinking.
You could say that this is something he's already done before.
Back when he was forced to learn things by Tsunade, he slacked off quite a bit.
Of course, he also got beaten up quite a bit.
"Hey, west Yan."
"What's wrong?"
"Speaking of which, what's the deal with that bear?" Chopper asked, fiddling with the herbs. "He could have just killed us, but he chose to ask those questions twice..."
""
Is it a perverse sense of humor?
"To be honest, I don't know either," west Yan said, shaking his head.
He couldn't understand Xiong's purpose in doing this. It gave him the feeling that... it seemed like the other party didn't really want to kill them, but in reality, they didn't hold back when they attacked them.
Could it really be, as Chopper said, a twisted sense of humor?
"Hey, Xiyan, Chopper, look! Franky seems to have a new weapon to test!" Luffy said.
After he finished speaking, he ran over and began to observe closely.
"Um?"
The two men who had placed the herbs turned to look at Franky and Usopp standing at the bow of the ship, and found that the two were fiddling with a strange-looking... cannon?
"What is this?"
"oh!"
"This is a special cannon I made!" Franky exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up. "Both accuracy and power have been significantly improved!"
"That's right!" Usopp laughed, "With my superior sniping skills, this cannon will unleash even greater power!!"
"Hahaha!"
Watching the two people fiddling with the cannon, west Yan couldn't help but recall the events before Luffy and his crew came to the Grand Line.
If I remember correctly... Usopp also used a cannon to bombard a small island reef, right?
Let's hope two more people don't get blown out.
Thinking of this, west Yan's expression became somewhat subtle.
"Hey everyone, is there anything I can help you with?" Brooke ran over and asked.
"Oh, we're missing a can of Coke. Could you go and get me some?"
"good!"
Brooke, overjoyed at receiving the task, went and retrieved a large barrel.
"Just pour it in directly," Franky pointed to the entrance.
"Here...?"

After pouring the liquid from the bucket into the container, Brooke walked away and said, "Is it ready now?"
"That's right, let me show you my cannon!"
"Usopp, fire!"
"profound!"
Wolf stepped on the accelerator, immediately increasing the pressure of the cannon and causing a large amount of steam to billow out.
"fire!"
A gust of wind blew by, but no shells flew out; only the vibration of the pressure cannon was heard.
Usopp: ? ? ?
"What's going on?"
"Maybe the pressure isn't enough?" Franky pushed up his sunglasses and said, "Try pushing the pressure to the limit."
"good!"
As Usopp manipulated the cannon, the pressure began to rise sharply, eventually causing it to vibrate violently.
The next moment...
"boom!!"
The cannon exploded, spewing out a large amount of cola mixture, staining everyone present with its color.
west Yan: ...
west Yan, who had been sprayed with cola, twitched at the corner of his mouth. What on earth was going on?
"It doesn't seem to be cola..." Chopper licked his lips and said, "It's salty."
"Salty?!"
Franky paused for a moment, then glared at him and said, "Brook, you didn't bring soy sauce instead of cola, did you?!"
"It really is soy sauce..."
"Damn it, what exactly do you mean by this?!"
"I'm so sorry!!"
Watching Franky chase after Brook, Luffy laughed loudly, "This guy is really interesting."
"Is it interesting...?"
west Yan sighed helplessly, then glanced at Chopper and said, "Your herbs need to be washed again."
"Instead of this, I think you should look at Merry."
"Um?"
As if remembering something, west Yan turned to look at Mei Li and immediately noticed the little guy's miserable state.
The once clean dress was now stained with other colors, and her face looked like a little kitten.
The roll on the ground was also contaminated with a mixture of cola and soy sauce.
"puff....:
7
"Ha ha ha ha."
Seeing Mei Li's expression, west Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hmph, you stinky Xiyan," Mei Li said angrily.
She's already in this state, and instead of comforting her, they're just laughing at her.
"Well, what can I do? You look so funny." After saying that, Xi Yan glanced at Nico Robin, who was holding a watering can, and said, "Robin, go and take Merry to wash up."
"Um?"
Nico Robin couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Mary's miserable state.
"How did this happen?"
"Brook just delivered a bucket of soy sauce to Franky, which caused Franky's cannon to explode," Chopper said.
"I see...."
"
Nico Robin nodded, feeling as if she had discovered something.
After signaling to Merry to follow her, Nico Robin handed the watering can to west Yan, indicating that he should help her water the flowers.
"Leave it to me!" Brooke suddenly ran over and said, "I can help!"
Looking at the big bump on Brook's head, west Yan's lips twitched. Was this from being beaten up by Franky?
But... what's wrong with that old guy Brook?
Why did he sense that this guy was so unsettling?
It's as if... ...something is on my mind.
Nico Robin, who also noticed something was wrong, asked directly, "Brook, why... do you look so uneasy?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Upon hearing this, Brooke fell silent, and the optimistic expression on his face vanished instantly.
This scene also made Nico Robin realize that he was not wrong.
"Fear?"
Chopper glanced at Brook, not understanding what the other was afraid of. Hadn't the shadow already been retrieved?
"Yes, I am indeed very scared right now..." Brook said with his head down, "I was very happy when Mr. Luffy asked me to join you."
"But...can I really do it?"
"In the process of embracing the new world, we will surely encounter unimaginable enemies and difficulties. If I not only fail to be everyone's help but also become a burden to everyone..."
5. "Will we be forced off the ship then?"
"I'm going to lose my companions again... and go back to those lonely days... I'm terrified of that day coming."
Seeing Brooke's dejected state, everyone present understood why Brooke had been exhibiting all sorts of strange reactions since the morning.
So... he was worried that he wouldn't fit in and would eventually be kicked out?
"Brook..." Nico Robin began, "I used to be just like you."
"Huh?!"
"Miss Robin also..."
"Hmm." Nico Robin glanced at the distant sky and said in a complicated tone, "I used to be afraid that I wasn't worthy of being their partner, so I thought about giving up my life for them to protect them."
"At the time, I thought that was what a qualified partner would do."
"But they showed me with their own experiences that this is wrong." As Nico Robin spoke, she glanced at Chopper and Xiyan, who were smiling at her, and the corners of her mouth gradually turned up.
"We even defeated the Demon Slayer Order to save this awkward guy," west Yan laughed.
When Nico Robin heard Xi Yan say that she was an awkward guy, she wasn't angry. Instead, she laughed even more happily.
She was indeed very awkward at the time, but... this also made her realize what kind of people her companions were.
"An awkward... guy?"
"Brook, true friends don't need to worry like that," Nico Robin said. "If you still can't find the answer, just go ask Luffy."
"Good luck, Brooke!" Mary waved her little hand.
Nico Robin smiled, turned around, and left with Merry.
"Should I just ask Mr. Luffy...?"
"Yeah, I agree," Chopper said. "When we meet Luffy, we all have all sorts of questions, but in the end... Luffy always gives us the answers."
Although he didn't know what was going on with Luffy's amazing intuition, every word he said was spot on.
Therefore, I completely agree with Robin's words.
"Asking about Mr. Luffy or anything like that... I..."
"Hey Luffy, Brook's looking for you!"
"Huh?!"
"Mr. Xiyan, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Luffy ran up with a curious look on his face and asked Xiyan, "What do you want?"
As he spoke, Luffy took a bite of the meat in his hand and ate it with great relish.
"Brook has something to ask you," west Yan said, pointing at Brook.
It's best to address Brooke's psychological issue as soon as possible, otherwise... he'll suffer a lot.
Now that they've become partners, Xi Yan doesn't want the other party to act this way.
Luffy blinked, looking at Brook curiously, and asked, "What is it?"
Looking at Luffy's unpretentious demeanor, Brook paused for a moment before saying, "Mr. Luffy... is it really okay for me to join the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"Um!"
"Huh?!"
"You answered so readily?" Brook stared blankly at Luffy and said, "But I..."
"I've already approved of you, so of course you can join!"
"Brook, you're my partner!"
Brook was stunned as he stared at Luffy, who was grinning with his teeth showing.
For some reason, he felt very at ease by that smile, and gradually relaxed without realizing it.
"Because... I was recognized...?"
"Now you can rest assured, Brooke," west Yan said with a smile.
Hearing west Yan's words, Brooke subconsciously looked at Xi Yan, and then looked at the other companions on the deck, only to find that everyone was smiling and looking at him.
At this moment... Brooke's heart was completely at peace.
"Um!"
"Everyone, please take care of me from now on!"
"profound!"
west Yan suddenly jumped up, grabbed Luffy and Brook, and jumped to Franky and Brook's side with Chopper.
"Huh?!"
"west Yan, what are you doing?"
"To celebrate Brooke letting go of her past, let's take a shower together!"
"Hahaha, okay, let's go right now..."
Before Usopp could finish speaking, he noticed a swirling pool of water suddenly appearing on the deck not far away.
Seeing this, Usopp's heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be...?"
"boom!!"
A water dragon suddenly shot out, rushing directly towards west Yan's head before transforming into a waterfall and cascading down.
"Splash!"
The massive flow of water forced all six people to the ground.
"Damn you, Xiyan! Who uses water magic to shower?!" Usopp roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "Are you trying to kill us?!"
Usopp looked up, about to continue his tirade, when a mouthful of water was poured into his mouth, nearly choking him.
"This is so much fun, hahaha!"
"Yoohoo!" Brooke laughed loudly, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of interacting with his friends.
This made him feel incredibly safe and relaxed.
"Xiyan, make the water flow bigger!" Luffy shouted.
"That's right!" Franky shouted, "Today, Super me isn't afraid of a mere stream of water!"
"Bigger! Bigger!"
"clear!"
"boom!!"
"Damn Xiyan, I... glug glug."
"Hahaha."
