Chapter 98: Pirates, Promises, and Proposals
"Hahaha... Don't get me wrong, we are not here to cause trouble for you." Coulson thought that Crocus was scared by his identity, so he quickly comforted him.
"Although he was on the Roger Pirates' ship before, according to our investigations, they only captured him to treat Roger's illness. Even Tom, the carpenter who built the Oro Jackson for them, has not faced any retaliation."
"Um?" Crocus was surprised and thought: 'Looks like it's not because of what happened last night.' At this time, his body and mood relaxed.
"Then what are you doing here, and who is that person?" He raised his finger and pointed at the man in black below.
Coulson kept a smile and explained: "That person is Mr. Brook, a former crew member of the Rumbar Pirates. We brought him here to reunite with the Island Whale named Laboon."
"What?!" Hearing this, Crocus's eyes almost popped out of his head, his heart beating fast. Everything he encountered in the past two days was really scary.
"Didn't their group disband long ago?"
"That's just a rumor." Coulson shook his head, pointing at Brook, who was chatting with Laboon. "Our men found him in the Florian Triangle earlier."
"Through communication, we learned that shortly after entering the Grand Line twenty-eight years ago, they encountered a powerful band of pirates and were annihilated near the Florian Triangle."
"At that time, his pirate ship was swept by the currents towards the Florian Triangle, and because Brook had eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit, his soul returned from the afterlife to the real world, but his body was reduced to bones."
"He lost his bearings in the Florian Triangle and has been wandering there ever since."
