"This guy is looking at my breasts???"
Perona started to make up her mind again, and her heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Mode never thought that Perona's mind-filling skills were so exaggerated. After looking at it twice, she focused on Brooke.
Anyway, with the heart in hand, Perona can be dealt with at any time.
"Oh, oh, oh, how rude."
Facing Maud's gaze, Brooke, who was covered in hair and had deformed bones, felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
It was not his original intention to face his benefactor in such a posture.
Although it was his own fault that he became like this...
Maude looked at Brooke and chuckled: "Luo, help him recover."
“…”
Luo Qian wiped away the strange color in his eyes and said nothing, but directly opened the surgical fruit space to include Brooke.
Relying on the scheduling ability of the surgical fruit, Brooke was restored to his original state in a few clicks.
"Oh ho ho, what a magical ability."
Once his body recovered, Brooke happily spun around in circles several times.
After finishing the circle, Brooke looked at Luo and slowly suppressed his slightly frivolous laughter.
The pale skull face had no flesh or skin, and seemed a bit hollow, but it made several people present feel the change in Brooke's attitude.
"First time meeting me, I'm Brooke. I came here specifically to express my gratitude..."
"If you thank me, you can skip it and come to my place."
"Eh?"
Looking at Maude's stretched out hand, Brooke was slightly startled and said in surprise: "What... did you just say?"
Maud smiled and said: "How about coming to my ship?"
"ah?"
Brooke looked at Maud in surprise, who extended an olive branch to him, and hesitated: "But, as you can see, I am like this..."
"We don't care about such a trivial thing, so, come?"
Maude once again interrupted Brooke's words and stretched her right hand directly in front of Brooke's eyes.
Such a sudden invitation made Brooke a little flustered, but when he thought of the agreement with Rab, his wavering heart suddenly calmed down.
"Thank you for the invitation, but I'm sorry, I have an appointment that I must fulfill."
"Promise? Do you mind telling me about it?"
Maude knew very well what Brooke's so-called agreement was, but he couldn't reveal it on the spot.
Brooke was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Faced with the benefactor who allowed his shadow to return, he did not hesitate for long before telling the agreement between him and Rab.
Listening to Brooke's narration, Maud looked calm.
Lafayette and Jim looked astonished, and couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful their fate was.
After nearly fifty years of separation, they unexpectedly met the person Rab had been waiting for here.
After Brooke finished narrating, Maud then revealed Rab's current situation.
Brooke was stunned when he heard that Rab had been waiting for him and his companions to return at Twin Capes.
His mouth was open, and tears welled up in vain from his empty eyes.
"Yo ho ho..."
He couldn't suppress his emotions. He didn't know whether he was happy or heartbroken, so he was laughing and crying at the same time.
Maude and others silently looked at Brooke who was venting his emotions.
"Wow, wow... What a pitiful little whale. In order to abide by the agreement with a pervert, he actually hit his head on the red earth continent... Wuwu... How pitiful..."
Perona burst into tears and felt extremely sad for the little whale that had been waiting for fifty years at Twin Points.
She cried out of control.
"Whoa whoa!!!"
The crying was heartbreaking.
Most likely, he was not just heartbroken about what happened to the little whale, but added the feeling of being captured, which is why he cried so sadly.
As Perona's cry became the loudest sound in the entire hall, a bunch of question marks floated in the air.
"???"
Brooke opened her mouth and looked at Perona who was crying more sadly than herself with a complicated expression.
Maude ignored Perona, but looked at Brooke and said seriously: "Brooke, if you want to go back to Twin Capes, we can help you now."
“…”
Brooke slowly closed her mouth, facing Maud with a serious look on her face with empty, dark eyes, and immediately shook her head.
"If a man never goes back, I will... meet Rab from the 'front' as promised!"
"Then come to my ship." Maud smiled.
"Yo ho ho, then let me introduce myself again."
The implication is that he agreed to Maude's invitation to join the team.
After saying that, Brooke knelt down on one knee, took out a tattered reward order from his arms, and slapped it on the ground.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Brooke was about to fulfill the unspoken rules among pirates and solemnly introduce himself to the gang, but suddenly he thought of something important.
"ah."
Brooke looked up at Mod and the others and said, "Well, I don't know your names yet."
"Ha ha."
Maud couldn't help laughing.
Beside, Perona's crying stopped suddenly.
What the hell
Inviting others on board without even telling each other their names
What kind of guys are these
Chapter 136: Trophies
Since the Age of Pirates kicked off, countless people have rushed to go to sea for their dreams.
The number of pirates increased dramatically.
Among them, many pirates are really going for the big secret treasure, but more of them are pirates who take advantage of the situation to do evil.
They burned, killed and looted, not for their dreams, but just to make their own lives better.
Affected by this, many traditions and rituals among pirates gradually disappeared.
The solemnity and sense of ceremony that Brooke showed before joining the group are rare in this era.
At least in Brooke's day, such behavior was necessary and, in a sense, sacred.
That's right.
To say it is holy is not an exaggeration.
Because, from Brooke's point of view, this is undoubtedly an oath.
"I am Brook who died with only bones left. My head is worth a small price. I am known as Brook the Nose Singer. I have a bounty of 30 million Baileys."
"He used to be the leader of a certain country's guard group. Later he joined the Lombard Pirates. His identity is the captain's agent, a part-time musician and swordsman, and he is proficient in the speed sword style."
"From today on, my life will be handed over to the captain of the Mord Pirates, Mord, and I will not hesitate to break my body into pieces, yo ho ho."
After completing the oath of joining the group in a very formal manner, Brooke let out his signature laugh.
Such a serious and solemn attitude made Maude feel a little uncomfortable, but she also saw the unique flavor from Brooke that belonged to the previous era.
"welcome."
Maud helped Brooke up.
At this point, the Mord Pirates have welcomed a new member.
"Hey, my current bounty is only 30 million, but I will never hold you back!"
Brooke picked up the hat and put it on his head, with a solemn look on his face.
Before Moder invited him, he didn't know the names of Moder's people, let alone the bounty.
Now, he already knows that his captain is a big pirate with a bounty of 360 million.
In comparison, his 30 million bounty seems a bit pitiful.
Maud smiled when he heard this and didn't pay much attention.
Lafayette, Jim, Philo, and even Bailey who had returned to his original form all present welcomed the newly joined Brooke.
It was their actions that allowed Brooke to instantly distinguish the identity difference between Luo and Lafayette.
Originally, Brooke thought Luo and Bebo were also members of the team.
Now it seems that is not the case.
After solving the problem of Brooke joining the group, Maud finally focused on Perona.
Because of Rab's story, Perona cried until her eyes were red and swollen, looking quite pitiful.
At this time, Perona trembled slightly when she saw Maud's gaze coming over her, and fear appeared on her face again.
Maud looked at Perona expressionlessly, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Do not kill me!"
Perona, who was kneeling on the ground, felt the crisis coming towards her, and said timidly: "I, I am very useful. I can sweep the floor, cook, wash clothes, and many more things..."
In front of Maude, she held on tightly to her tsundere attribute, fearing that any trace of it would leak out and lead to catastrophe.
“…”
Maud said nothing.
Next to him, Brooke, who had just joined the pirate group, hesitated to speak. Although he was beaten all over the head by Perona just now, his impression of Perona was not bad.
Of course it's not because of Perona's gender or appearance, but because of Perona's heartbroken Rab performance just now.
He wanted to say a few words to Perona, but since he was a newcomer to the pirate group, there were some things that he couldn't overcome.
Compared to Brooke's worries, Lafayette and Jim's attitudes are relatively cold. In their view, as long as Perona is still an enemy, there is no need for mercy.
Philo quietly came behind Maude, then stretched out his hand and pulled the hem of Maude's clothes with a small force.
Maude looked back at Philo, and was shocked to find that Philo had his eyes lowered, habitually looking at the floor, and the crow anti-epidemic mask he had previously worn on his face was missing.
Looking again, it turned out that the crow mask had been snatched away by Bailey, who had returned to his original form.
Among the entire team, Bailey is the only one who likes to tease Philo, and occasionally snatches Philo's crow mask away on a whim.
There were a few times that went too far. This guy held a crow mask and used it on Philo's face to perform a smart operation - put on the mask, take off the mask, put on the mask, take off the mask.
"This guy Bailey..."
Maude first glared at Bailey, who was playing with the crow mask, and then looked at Philo behind him, who was lowering his head and squirming.
Perhaps sensing the sight, Philo slowly raised his head, met Maud's gaze, and whispered: "Brother Maud, can you... spare her..."
Philo, who is wearing a mask, will address Maud by his first name, while Philo, who takes off his mask, will add the word "big brother" after his name.
"Uh, give me a reason."
Maude looked at Philo in surprise, whose face turned slightly rosy. She did not expect that Philo would plead for Perona.
"I think... she's not a bad person."
