Having just returned to the vivid real world from that chaotic different dimension, he was surrounded by a pair of living eyes that he had not seen for so long. Brooke, who was in a state of soul, was quite flattered and said with tears in his eyes, "It's really surprising! I'm so moved.
I'm about to cry - even though I no longer have eyes! Yo ho, yo ho ho ho ho ho... But how did everyone know that I would appear here at this time?"
The giantess-like commoner squatted in the back row of the crowd, touched their fingertips, and explained softly: "It was Mr. Lynch who went to Fish-Man Island to ask Mrs. Charlie to deal with this after Mr. Brooke disappeared for a year without any news.
The divination result of Mrs. Charlie predicts that today, five years later, we will get a result..."
"Six years ago, when Chopper, Sister Nami and Franky started researching how to re-create a physical body for Brooke..." Link picked up a piece of fruit from nowhere and gnawed on it, then he went to his sister Finch and whispered.
He muttered, "The power of Brooke's Underworld Fruit seems to have gone further. His soul accidentally opened a certain portal and disappeared from this world!"
Finch recalled what he said six years ago...
"Is it about the time when Sanji, Nami, Chopper and the others quarreled?" Finch had some impression of this. At that time, when Sanji heard that Chopper and others used the blood factors from Brook's bones to cultivate Brook's clone,
He was very dissatisfied with this act of desecrating life, and he also rarely got angry with his companions who had adventured together on the Grand Line. Finch did not know how they talked afterward, and she also never heard it.
I said that it was at that time that Brooke's soul disappeared from this world, and what strange "portal" was opened?
Finch glanced at his younger brother, "Do you like to use your fancy abilities to eavesdrop and peep everywhere?"
"I accidentally heard it!" Link quickly explained, "I was only a few years old at the time. I was just playing around with my abilities. I accidentally heard them arguing..."
"You said 'portal'... just like the feeling when Brooke appeared out of thin air just now?" Finch said to herself. She glanced at Chopper among the people who were warmly welcoming Brooke's soul back, especially on Chopper's shoulder.
Meili, the ship spirit, said, "Mirror power can open the door to the mirror world. If the Underworld Fruit can also open any door, it can only be..."
"Oh ho ho ho, it's been five years, has it been six years since I left this world?" Brooke's pale green soul smiled unaware, "But in my feeling...how should I say, it seems like it's just
Six minutes have passed, and it seems like sixty years! In that other world, it seems that the concept of time does not exist..." He said quietly, "In other words, we who are accustomed to the existence of 'time' come from this world
, it’s very easy to lose yourself there... I almost felt like I could never come back, I was assimilated there and became a part of it..."
Bai Xing seemed to be frightened by the scene described by Brooke, and wiped the corners of his eyes sadly.
Nami patted Shirahoshi's skirt and asked Brooke: "But you still came back successfully, Brooke."
"Is it because Brooke has the ability of the Underworld Fruit?" Usopp analyzed.
Sanji mused: "He is the only one among us who has not 'fused' the Devil Fruit ability..."
Brooke laughed and said: "Yo ho ho ho! Of course it's because I still want to see my friends. How can I be trapped in that place? Fifty years of life as a lonely ghost is enough.
, I don’t want another fifty or five hundred years! Yo ho, yo ho ho ho ho ho..."
"Oh, Brooke, you are really good~~" Luffy, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp waved their hands triumphantly, "You are really good at talking!"
Robin asked: "Have you found your former partners there? Captain Yankee, and others..."
Brooke was slightly silent and said in a low voice: "No...I didn't find them. But I have a feeling, at least when I was still wandering in that world..."
"Feeling?" Zoro murmured.
"That's right! It's like intuition!" Brooke suddenly seemed happy again, "Has Mr. Sauron ever had such an experience? The person you miss has obviously passed away, but you can still feel that the person you miss is still around you from time to time.
Same!—as Mr. Lynch once said, gravity!”
"..." Zoro was silent, probably thinking of someone.
"I think...as long as I still remember Captain Yankee and the others, I can follow this gravitational pull and see them again in that world!" Brooke smiled heartily, and his ghost-like soul turned around, facing Lynch, "Next
If we go there again, I think maybe we can bring Rab with us. Rab must also remember Captain Yankee and everyone, so it would be great to have his help!"
"Yes. Let Rab choose any of the abilities of Renren Fruit." Lynch nodded, stared at Brooke, and confirmed, "In other words, there are several pieces of information you brought back..." He raised his fingers one after another.
, "First, the underworld does exist, and it is a different time and space similar to the mirror world; second, the underworld has no concept of time, so a firm will is needed to keep oneself from getting lost; third, if the undead wandering in the underworld are still there...
There is no loss. If the person who enters the underworld still remembers those undead souls, it is possible to find them in that world. Is that so?"
Brooke said seriously: "That's right."
A stone fell from his heart. Robin's tense body suddenly relaxed and he supported Lin Qi next to him.
Hancock came over and took Robin's other hand. The expression on the empress's face was very gentle.
Lin Qi and the two women looked at each other, nodded, and looked around at the people present with different expressions, "Now the result is here. Huang Quan, the undead... If you have lost someone and can't forget it, now you have a chance to personally
Bring them back from hell..."
"I must go." Ace blurted out. Yamato next to him grabbed his hand and gave him a supportive smile.
"..." Zoro remained expressionless as he tightened his grip on the handle of Wado Ichimonji's sword at his waist.
"But Brooke also said that in another world, there is no concept of time." Sanji took out a cigarette and lit it.
"Even Brooke was lost for six years in a daze..." Franky rubbed his fists.
Confused?! Brooke is very concerned about this evaluation.
Chopper and Usopp each quietly clenched their fists.
Only Smoker and others are outside the situation, and they are a little confused. Are these people getting together to brag, or... is it real? Underworld? The world after death? Is it real?
Lin Qi said: "Everyone can decide for themselves whether they want to go on this trip to Huangquan or not."
"Do you even need to ask? Lynch!" Luffy chuckled, his whole body shaking with excitement, "A big adventure in another world... I can't wait any longer!!!"
Nami sighed and held her forehead, shaking her head. What's going on with this long-lost feeling of weakness?
She smiled and struck Luffy with a lightning fist, "Is there anyone in that world you want to find back?"
Luffy rolled over and said blankly: "It seems not! But what the hell, this is an adventure!" He said angrily, "Nami, you really don't understand anything!"
Lin Qi smiled and snapped his fingers in Chopper's direction, "Meili."
Meili floated from Chopper's shoulder to Lynch, took out a mirror from her small bag, expanded it at will, then reached into another mirror world inside the mirror, and took out a square glass
Cover - Inside the cover is a strange green solution, and in the center of the solution, there is a living heart floating.
Mellie held it and handed it to Brooke.
Brooke laughed, turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp, rushed into the glass cover without any hindrance, and merged with the heart.
Under everyone's gaze, the heart beat "thumping".
At the same time, a gray phantom appeared on Lynch's body, and the substitute "G.F.H" punched the glass cover shell and hit the heart.
As if some kind of power has been injected into it, the heart is beating hard, and suddenly it explodes and grows densely packed blood vessels, meridians, muscles, blood and even bones, intertwined with each other, filling each other up, under the gaze of everyone.
, grew wildly and rapidly, forming a red body of a human male more than two meters high, followed by the outermost skin...
Lynch grabbed a large cloak and threw it over, wrapping Brooke's fully grown body.
When the eye-catching afro emerged from the cloak, Brooke burst into tears. This was the first time in many years that he really used his own flesh and blood to fight.
Breathe the air greedily!
"..." Sanji sighed with a smile.
The Kingdom of Germa, where he was born, had evil research on artificially cultivating artificial humans. This was why he was so angry six years ago when he heard that Chopper and the others were planning to clone Brook's body - the cloned body was very
Apparently there would have been a budding consciousness based on this living body.
What next? In order to wait for Brooke's "return", are the clone's original consciousness, personality, and soul all cruelly obliterated?
Sanji will never accept his partner doing this.
He rolled up his sleeves and went to prepare the food. He couldn't help but smile. Regarding his concerns, Chopper and Miss Nami chose a compromise plan - not to clone the complete body, not even to clone the head.
Instead of trying to clone his heart or brain, he just used the blood factors from Brook's bones to clone his heart.
If it were just a heart, it would not sprout a new consciousness, or "soul", and there would be no moral dilemma of killing another "Brooke" for the sake of Brooke's "resurrection".
Just leave the rest to Lynch.
Letting a heart "repair" itself back to a complete body shouldn't be difficult for the eight-armed sage Lynch, right?
Now it seems that it is indeed not difficult.
"Mom..." Sanji murmured to himself with a smile and finished handling the food. He went back with a huge dinner plate in one hand. He caught a glimpse of Garp, Rayleigh and Shanks also appearing at some point. They seemed to be there too.
After hearing the conversation just now, Garp waved his hands to Smoker and others, seeming to refuse their dissuasion, and laughed nonchalantly and said: "Hahaha, Cyborg, Warring States, Sakaski,
There are too many old acquaintances in that world...it’s no big deal if you can find them, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t find them. I’m an old person, and I never thought I’d come back!”
"As you know, it was that bastard Roger who found me on the dock and asked me to join him as a pirate." Reilly said with a smile, "We were talking about overturning the world together, but he himself was the first to die." He looked at Ace.
.
Ace said with a stinking face: "I didn't go to find that bastard. I went to the underworld just to find my mother."
"Then I will be responsible for helping Mr. Rayleigh find Captain Roger." Shanks smiled, "But this Brooke just now seemed to say that people who enter the underworld will form some kind of gravitational pull with the undead soul that they can't forget...
"
"There is no gravity between me and that person!" Ace emphasized, then turned back and took out the communicator, "Dad..." He called Marco, Jozi, Bista and other members of the White Group without hesitation.
"Mr. Sanji! This is my first time to really taste your food!"
While Brooke was eating Hessian without any image, he was so moved that he burst into tears, "Yo ho, yo ho ho, oooooooooooo, it's so delicious! It's so good to be alive!!!"
…
In a laboratory, the principal of Ranger University, Bega Punk, was busy. He didn't even look up when Lynch came in.
Lynch looked at the corner of the laboratory. Spencer, with his white hair, looked at the glass cover full of green solution in front of him.
"I can just go by myself," Lynch said, crossing his arms.
"..." Spencer smiled, "With one more person, doesn't it mean there is more 'gravity'?"
He looked at the living heart floating quietly in the green solution of the glass cover, "We must find her, we will definitely find her..." He smiled, "A ranger like your mother, no matter what kind of sea it is.
Whether it is the world of thieves or the world of underworld, there must be no problem. If anyone is lost, she will not be lost. She must still be somewhere, in that world..."
…
the next day.
Brooke prepares to open the portal to the underworld.
Xiang Lian, who has been guarding the tomb on Rath Gap Island for these years, also came.
Lin Qi went to Lily's tomb to obtain her blood factor, so naturally he couldn't hide this from Xianglian.
"No need to persuade me," Xianglian waved her hand and said, "Believe me, I feel very good now..."
In addition, there is another person who many people did not expect to come.
Kuzan has gray-white hair with naturally curly hair. He was once a navy admiral. In the past twenty years, the navy has declined, and he has been wandering around the world without a trace. He didn't expect to appear today.
Kuzan still wore the small round sunglasses, raised his chin to Lynch, took out a coat from his backpack, threw it on his body, and it turned out to be a navy coat with "Justice" written on it. It was already very old.
Cap laughed loudly, hooked Kuzan's shoulder and gave a thumbs up.
Lin Qi suddenly noticed his daughter's gaze, "What's wrong?"
Finch lowered his eyes, then raised them again, "You will come back, right?"
"..." Robin held Finch's cheek and kissed her gently on the forehead, "Good boy, of course." She smiled again, "Don't forget your mother's substitute ability. No matter what, we will As long as you want to come back, it's easy."
Finch couldn't help but laugh, sniffed, and hugged Robin gently. After letting go, he went over and hugged his mother Hancock tightly.
Hancock stroked his daughter's back, then waved his hand, and separate black and white snake-like phantoms appeared on her body, condensing in place like a tide to form a strange "ghost" half a person tall. This is her stand-in - "Dirty Little Animals". It is a remotely controlled stand, but if Hancock is willing, he can also let go of the control and give the stand a certain degree of autonomy.
With just a thought, Hancock can switch places with his stand-in...
Lin Qi reached out and rubbed his daughter's head, smiling: "Take good care of your brother."
"Yeah." Finch threw herself into his arms and nodded.
Over there, Zelda held the hand of her mother, Yamato, and said goodbye to her father, Ace. Link, the kid, was leaning over there. He also strolled back and gave Linky and the others a pitiful hug, "Dad , Mom, Mom, I will miss you too..."
Brooke opened the door to the underworld, Lynch and others looked back and looked around, nodding to Sanda and Mary who were sitting on the two fire clouds. Everyone jumped into another world one after another amid Luffy's excited laughter.
The gate to hell slowly closes...
Smoker and the others couldn't come to their senses for a long time. They just wanted to ask Empress Nine Snakes to remove the petrification of their fellow marines, but they didn't expect to encounter such a bizarre thing...Lin Qi, Luffy, Mr. Karp, so many important people in this world, they just... went to another world of the dead? Will they come back?
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the side, "Okay!!!!", which startled everyone. It turned out to be Link who jumped up excitedly.
Finch shook his head, and Ah Qing pointed to the half-human tall "Dirty Little Animals" next to him. The latter was turning his head and squinting to look at Link - obviously, he was not a stand-in at this moment, but the Empress Hanku. Ke was controlling the stand-in. Link landed, patted his clothes, and said sadly: "Oh, when will mom and dad come back? I'm already thinking about them... wu wu wu..."
"Hehehe." Nami couldn't help laughing.
Bellemere was not dead, and Nami didn't remember who her biological parents were at all... She looked at Yamato next to her, and her eyes fell on her daughter Zelda, who was holding Yamato's hand.
"I thought Xiaoda would go to Huangquan for adventure with your father." Nami asked with a smile, "Don't you like your grandma Lujiu very much?"
"Dad can definitely find grandma...and grandpa."
As Zelda spoke, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "And I still have exams..."
Nami was stunned. Link over there couldn't help laughing, and Zelda's face suddenly turned red.
