Chapter 34: The Qilin Lion and Parrot Assistant Join the Crew
Seeing that the Qilin Lion still refused to submit, Redfield stepped forward once more to fight it. Before long, he defeated the beast.
"Look at all those rare creatures you tried to protect. Every single one ran away—none of them came back for you, except for this parrot! How about it? Come with me and see the wonders of the world beyond this island!"
Despite being gravely injured, the Qilin Lion turned its head away, ignoring Brook completely.
"No choice then. Redfield, record its inner memories! Memory Seahorse, swallow its memories—I'm starting over with a fresh recruit!"
As Parrot Assistant tried to intervene, Brook knocked him out cold.
"Memory Seahorse, take this parrot's memories too—but make sure to keep its ability to talk. From now on, it's our ship's translator and lookout."
The Memory Seahorse eagerly dashed forward, relishing the feast of memories. Following Brook's instructions, it consumed the recent memories of both creatures, erasing everything past a certain point in their lives.
"Captain Brook, are you sure this is okay?"
Fisherman Tom hesitated, his people despised oppression and deceit.
"We didn't harm them, and now they're valuable crewmates!"
The Memory Seahorse let out a satisfied belch, signaling its task was complete. Meanwhile, Shakky and Antonio hurried to stop the Qilin Lion's and Parrot Assistant's bleeding and bandage their wounds.
