"Good, good, good. It's good that Laboon is alright. Crocus is truly a trustworthy person. We owe him a lot."
Brook was very grateful that Crocus had taken care of Laboon for so many years. He didn't expect Crocus to still be keeping that promise and helping them take care of Laboon for all these years.
"How did you come here? You didn't come here specifically to find me, did you? If so, that's troublesome."
After a moment of reflection, Brook thought of Buggy and his crew's current situation. They had come here. That was very dangerous. If they couldn't find a way out, they might be trapped in the Devil's Triangle like him. That was something he didn't want to see.
"That's right. I once received news about you. I knew that your Rumbar Pirates entered the Devil's Triangle in the end. I came here this time to find your tracks. Seeing your appearance, I guessed that you were Brook."
This was a perfect explanation that Buggy had thought of just now. His answer explained the cause and effect and how he knew that the other party was Brook.
"What should I do? Why did you enter here? This is troublesome for you."
Brook anxiously paced back and forth on the ship. His hands were constantly waving. He was trying to figure out how to find a way out for Buggy and his crew.
"Captain, he's Brook. Laboon is waiting for them. How did he become like this?"
Brook, pacing back and forth, also heard Jessica's words. He said under Jessica's curious gaze, "Actually, I died once, about ten years ago. I ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi. This fruit's ability can bring people back to life. It's a resurrection fruit. It has the incredible ability to give the user a second life."
Hearing the Yomi Yomi no Mi, everyone was first relieved. Their guess was right. The other party was indeed a Devil Fruit user. Then, they were surprised. They didn't expect that a Devil Fruit could bring people back to life. The Yomi Yomi no Mi's ability was truly incredible.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Brook also told them his story. Brook and his crew had entered this place ten years ago and got lost in this sea. While searching for a way out, they encountered powerful rivals in this sea. They fought, and their Rumbar Pirates were wiped out. After he died, the Yomi Yomi no Mi activated its ability. Brook's soul returned to the world from the underworld. He returned to this sea. Brook immediately went to find his body, ready to be resurrected. But because he was in the fog, Brook got lost. He wandered around in the fog as a soul for a year. When he found his body, it had turned to bones. Brook became what he is now.
After listening to Brook's story, the fear on Jessica and Kuro's faces disappeared. They had looks of sympathy. They also felt sad for his experience.
After saying this, Brook stopped pacing. He couldn't think of a good way to get Buggy and his crew out. He looked at Buggy and his crew, hesitant to speak.
Seeing Brook like this, Buggy knew what he was worried about. Buggy directly told Brook about Enel being outside the fog as a point of reference.
"Yo ho ho ho, that's great. I don't want to implicate you because of me."
Hearing Buggy's answer, Brook danced around with a smile. He was truly happy that Buggy and his crew could get out.
Seeing his expression, everyone had a strange look on their faces at first. Then, they also smiled. At the same time, everyone accepted Brook. A person like him could be accepted as their crew member.
After he calmed down, Buggy said again, "Brook, after you get out, are you going to go directly to Laboon, or do you have other plans?"
Hearing Buggy's words, a look of struggle appeared on Brook's skull-like face. He said hesitantly, "I haven't fulfilled my promise to Laboon. And I haven't fulfilled the wishes of my old friends who died. I can't face Laboon if I go back now."
After saying these words, Brook lowered his head and fell into a long silence.
"Join our pirate crew. Anything you haven't achieved, we'll go with you to complete it. I will also keep my promise to Laboon and take you back to meet him."
Hearing this, Buggy knew what he was concerned about. These promises and wishes were very important to the people in One Piece. If Brook hadn't fulfilled his promise to Laboon, he might not have gone back.
Buggy also knew Brook's promise to Laboon, which was to reach Laugh Tale. This was the same as their goal. He originally wanted to let him join his pirate crew. This wouldn't conflict.
Hearing Buggy say this, Brook nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, I'll join you."
Since Buggy had invited him, Brook had no reason to refuse. Buggy not only helped him leave this ghost place, but they also entered the Devil's Triangle at the risk of their lives to help Laboon find him. This kindness made Brook accept Buggy's invitation without hesitation.
He also guessed that Buggy definitely had the same goal as him. His promise to Laboon was also to find Laugh Tale. Joining him wouldn't violate his promise. This made him even more hesitant. Brook immediately agreed to join.
"Welcome aboard."
Hearing the other party's immediate answer, a smile appeared on Buggy's face. He also guessed why the other party had chosen to join without even thinking.
Since Brook had chosen to join, everyone didn't stay on Brook's ship. Brook also followed Buggy and his crew back to the Glory.
Back on the Glory, Buggy didn't choose to return immediately. He prepared a lavish meal for Brook. He knew that the other party had hardly eaten anything in the past ten years. He also knew that although the other party was a skeleton, he could still eat. He prepared these foods to welcome Brook's joining.
The atmosphere at the table was very good. Brook kept smiling and talking. He quickly became friends with everyone. This delicious meal ended with everyone laughing and chatting.
After dinner, the Glory returned along the same straight line it had come. This was the route the Glory had preset. It had come in a straight line, and it was naturally going out in a straight line. This was done through intelligent driving. This was to avoid getting lost and to increase the chances of finding Enel's direction.
Another half day passed. They could vaguely hear the sound of thunder in the air. Everyone had smiles on their faces. They knew they were about to leave the Devil's Triangle.
