Night and early morning.
A full moon hangs high in the sky.
Not a single dark cloud in the sky.
Under the moonlight, a silvery light appeared on the calm sea surface, lying there quietly like a mirror.
Upside Down Mountain is located near a passage of the Grand Line called Twin Gap.
Winter~
Winter~
Winter~
The dull impact sounds a bit depressing.
If you look closely, you can see that it is a huge whale, constantly hitting the bottom of Upside Down Mountain with its head.
It seemed that he wanted to use his head to smash this towering mountain into the sky.
But……
Even though this whale is several hundred meters long, it is as small as an ant compared to this upside-down mountain, whose peak cannot be seen at a glance.
The two are not on the same level at all.
Faced with the constant pounding of whales, Upside Down Mountain stood still and unchanged.
But the whale left scars on its head, covering the entire brain like a dotted pattern. Many of the scars have turned into thick gray-brown scabs. It is obvious at a glance that they were not caused in a short period of time.
Maybe it was from a few years ago, maybe it was left over from decades ago.
Even so.
The whale's eyes remained firm, without any wavering or regret.
He swung his huge body, swung his tail, adjusted his posture, and slammed into the Upside Down Mountain again.
At this time.
A warship sailed over slowly.
The whale looked at it expectantly and found that it was not the target he was waiting for. Finally, he showed a trace of regret.
Then he ignored the strange warship and prepared to start a new round of collision.
But the warship stopped at this time.
Sudden.
A melodious violin sound crossed the sky and echoed on the calm sea.
Hear this sound.
A little familiar...and a little strange at the same time!
The whale's movements suddenly stopped.
The sound of the violin is such a nostalgic sound!
Slowly, the violin prelude is coming to an end...
A familiar voice appeared along with piano and violin accompaniment!
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"

The first two sentences were the familiar humming of a man.
Later, girly voices, lolita voices, royal sister voices, male voices, etc. were added.
In the blink of an eye, it went from a solo to a large chorus.
at the same time.
Organ and orchestral music also join the mix.
On this strange warship, a symphony concert suddenly appeared!
"Binx's wine will be delivered to you."
“Like the sea breeze, you can ride the waves as you please.”
"On the other side of the sea, the sunset is also noisy."
“The songs of birds draw circles in the sky.”
"Goodbye Harbor, the Land of Silk."
"Come and sing a song, a sailing song."
"The waves of gold and silver also turned into splashes of water."
"We set out for the ocean."
In the light singing, there is the dream of a singer on a warship, the reluctance to leave home, and the love and passion for the sea!
Under the moonlight.
Looking at Brooke playing the violin intoxicatedly, Robin playing the piano elegantly, Shirley playing the organ staring at herself...
As well as all the crew members of the Boulder who participated in the concert, even the somewhat aloof Mihawk was singing softly.
The corner of Lukar's mouth raised slightly, and he also sang along softly, joining the large group.
this moment.
He joined the 166th Naval Branch...and left the Naval Branch...to go to Marinevando, the holy place of all navies...
All kinds of memories came to mind.
The passion he once had made Lukar's voice grow louder.
The first singing section ended.
Brooke hummed alone again.
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
~

"Woo~"
The whale Rab groaned lowly at this moment, and tears spurted out from his eyes like a waterfall.
Then it joined the concert with its own unique whale call!
"Binx's wine will be delivered to you."
"We, the navy (pirates), cut through the waves."
"Back on the waves, home is on the boat."
"The sails and flags are flying in the wind."
"Thousands of miles in the sky, the wind howls and thunder rises."
"The waves dance and the drums rumble."
"Tomorrow, when the rain has passed and the clouds have dispersed."
"It's not like there's no such thing as tomorrow's rising sun."
Only Mihawk and Brooke insisted on using the word "pirate" here, but they were easily covered by the voices of the entire navy.
The sea breeze roared and the war drums thundered.
On the solemn battlefield, Kola Island, Etwall Sea Area, Arad, Fuji Island, Headquarters Base, Gravel Island...
Lukar's figure can be seen on every battlefield.
Every battle is fought with all your strength.
Use his hands to defeat each enemy...
At the same time...some of my former companions fell...
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"

The melodious singing continues.
In a corner of Twin Gorges, inside a lonely lighthouse.
An old man who looked a bit serious came out. He had pale hair and beard, but he was very energetic.
This old man, who was usually stern and unsmiling, showed a smile while choking.
I watched with joy as this whale, Labu, who was as happy as a child, kept spraying water on the sea.
Immediately afterwards.
He also opened his mouth and started chanting alone with the large army.
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
"Binx's wine will be delivered to you."
"Day after day, in the dusk of dreams."
"I will never see that figure waving goodbye again."
"Why are you frowning? The moonlight will still be bright tomorrow night."
"Binx's wine will be delivered to you."
"Come and sing a song, the song of the sea."
"No matter who it is, it will eventually become a withered skeleton."
"No end, just a joke."
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
~~
In the last paragraph, there is nostalgia and sadness in the singing, as if it is mourning the passing of comrades.
But in the end, there was only relief!
What is gone will eventually pass away, and the sea will smooth away the pain.
No matter who it is, the end result is the same...
Those who are still alive must continue to tell their legends on this sea with the faith of their deceased comrades.
It’s endless, just a joke.
This Binns wine is for Rabu the Whale, for his comrades in arms, and even more for himself.
As Brooke continues to play the violin.
The song that had just ended sounded again.
"Young ho ho ho ho! Young ho ho ho ho!"
Just once, but this concert that belongs to everyone cannot end.
Continue until the tenth time.
Many crew members had roared until their throats were hoarse before the concert officially came to an end.
However, Brooke still played the violin tirelessly, staring at the whale Rabu on the sea with his tearful skull eyes.
Bang bang bang!
Lukar clapped his palms several times, then raised his hands and made a gesture to everyone.
"It's over, let's go back and rest!"
"Brooke, I'll give you one night off today. I don't care what you want to do."
"Robin, Lucci, you are responsible for clearing the deck!"
"Mihawk, are you interested in having a few drinks with me?"
Hearing the invitation, Mihawk smiled and nodded.
"Obligated!"
"Okay, let's go!"
It feels like tonight is coming, it would be a real regret not to have a drink.
As for the protagonist of this concert, Brooke.
Then let him handle his own affairs.
tonight.
Many people on the Boulder were so excited that they stayed up all night.
Anyway, Lukar and Mihawk didn't sleep, and they didn't know if Mihawk was in the right state. No matter how much wine he drank, he didn't get drunk like before.
It even made Lukar feel a little suspicious.
I wonder if this guy usually pretends to be drunk!
Hearing the faint sound of violins outside, both Lukar and Mihawk were drinking very happily.
The full moon on the sea witnessed the reunion below.
The next day.
The full moon sets and the red sun rises slowly.
The warship Boulder sets sail again.
Listen to the happy spray of the whale behind you, and the sound of a violin that seems to never stop.
Lukar hesitated for a moment, but decided to wait until the farewell was over and he passed through Upside Down Mountain before telling Brooke the good news that he was going to practice more.
But what happened next surprised him.
"What? You have to train so early?"
Lukar couldn't help but look up at Chaoyang.
That’s right!
It rises in the east!
"Director Lukar, I don't want to waste any more time. I want to complete your standards as soon as possible and advance to the city... It's not my dream. The free sea is not my dream. I can tell more stories about sea adventures to Rab. my goal!"
Looking at the determined Brooke.
Lukar blinked, and then agreed unceremoniously.
Even a skeleton can be so passionate, how can he not satisfy the other person!
In this case, let's give him a more passionate training!
Then....
Brooke's expression changed in a series of excitement...shock...horror...regret.
Lucar himself comes into play!
Let Brooke experience for himself the joy of scraping!
"Gulu gulu..."
In the heat of the moment, Lukar accidentally threw a punch.
Looking at Brooke who is about to sink to the bottom of the sea.
"...."
He was silent for a while.
It seems...as if...he himself is also a person with fruit abilities!
Entering the sea to fish for people seems not something he can accomplish!
A few minutes later.
Under the strange gaze of Shiliu.
Lukar's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Xiliu, let Brooke be trained by you next. His slashes are too weak. My body alone cannot cut them. I am not suitable for Brooke." Sparring partner.”
"It's...Director."
Xiliu didn't dare to complain in person, so she could only complain a few words secretly in her heart, and then agreed obediently.
kindness....
Lukar said that he hadn’t had breakfast yet, so his perception was lost and he didn’t hear Shiliu’s inner voice at all!
He just clenched his fists and walked into the cabin indifferently.
Brooke, who was lying dead on the deck with seawater constantly seeping out, and Shiliu, who was trying to hold back his laughter, were left behind.
"Damn it!"
"How could I forget such a thing!"
winter!
Enter the captain's cabin.
Lukar lightly smashed the door in anger.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Squeezed dry.
The lyrics are copied directly from encyclopedia.
I don’t know if this is water, but I really enjoyed writing this chapter.
I feel very happy after writing this.
Other than that, my biggest regret among Pirates is that I made up for it myself.
Compared to the dreams of other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Brooke's is the simplest and easiest to achieve.
I have never understood that other people’s dreams of being the number one swordsman, the pirate king, the text of history, etc. are all goals that seem out of reach.
But Brooke is so simple, but he just doesn't finish it.
Puzzling.
Brooke, who would be holding concerts everywhere in the next two years, had the opportunity to go back to Twin Gorges during this time, but he refused to go.
Since the old thief Oda continues to delay, then I will satisfy myself!
