After two hours of chatting on the airship, everyone arrived at Long Ring Long Land. Lan Luo immediately activated his Observation Haki, then, with a flash, appeared next to Fawkes. With a burst of Conqueror's Haki, everyone present fainted. Lan Luo then brought Fawkes back to the airship, had Chopper draw a few cans of his blood, and then returned him to his original spot.
Two days later, with the Log Pose fully charged, they set off again. Soon after, the group finally arrived at Water 7.
"This island will take seven days to fully charge the Log Pose. Nami, you and Mi Gongta go buy a new Log Pose, so we can reach the next island faster. Kuina, Robin, and Chopper, if anyone approaches Robin, you can directly attack." Lan Luo made these arrangements before they went ashore.
"Dr. Chopper, our beautiful archaeology doctor is entrusted to your protection." Lan Luo also teased Chopper.
"Yes, Captain." Chopper was still very excited, even though he knew he hadn't truly piloted the airship, he had sat in the pilot's seat, hadn't he?
A short while later, the airship landed directly in the harbor. Due to the Muggle-Repelling Charm and the Invisibility Charm, no one noticed it.
Everyone quickly split up to procure supplies. Lan Luo wanted to buy some Water Water Meat, and also the sea salt from the rooftops after the Aqua Laguna, which was said to be a rare seasoning.
Before long, Lan Luo arrived at the outer city of Water 7. Along the way, Lan Luo packed up all the Water Water Meat and also bought the sea salt after the Aqua Laguna at an inflated price. Soon, a rumor spread through the outer city: there was a very rich sucker who loved Water Water Meat and sea salt, almost as if saying, 'He's foolish and rich, come quickly.'
Not long after, Lan Luo, having swept through the outer city, once again swept through the inner city, finally completing his sweep of the recent Water Water Meat and sea salt in Water 7. Next, he was to go to Blueno's Bar.
Through Lan Luo's Observation Haki, he soon discovered a bar near the outer city's shipyard, with "Blueno's Bar" written on the sign.
Lan Luo stepped inside and heard the boss say, "Welcome, esteemed guest, what can I get for you?" It was a man wearing a yellow T-shirt with purple spots, with the familiar horns on his head, and a sky-blue apron.
Without saying much, Lan Luo silently walked to the bar. When Blueno saw the visitor's appearance, he felt something was off. Before he could react, Lan Luo released a burst of Conqueror's Haki aimed only at Blueno, and Blueno fainted.
Carrying Blueno, Lan Luo opened a rune wormhole, and in the next instant, he appeared directly on the future whale.
Not long after, Lan Luo's collection gained another Paramecia Door-Door Fruit.
After obtaining the Devil Fruit he wanted, Lan Luo went to Franky House. A bolt of lightning directly struck the entire house from the sky. Soon after, Lan Luo sensed that everyone inside the room had fainted. Entering the room, Lan Luo saw Franky, as well as Kiwi, Mozu, Zambai, and Egghead.
Lan Luo did not harm them. He retrieved the Pluton blueprint from Franky's belly space. Seeing the people on the ground, Lan Luo once again cast 'Restore to Original Condition'; not only was the house restored, but their injuries were also healing. Without waiting for them to recover, Lan Luo once again transformed into lightning and disappeared from Franky House.
When Lan Luo returned to the airship, he saw that everyone had returned. Seeing Kuina's appearance, it was clear she had been in a fight.
"Kuina, was the fight challenging?" Lan Luo asked curiously.
Kuina pondered for a moment and said, "Lan Luo, the Paradise you spoke of might truly no longer have opponents suitable for me."
"Then let's go to the Florian Triangle and see if that great swordsman from back then can force you to grow." It was time for Lan Luo to fulfill the promise he made to Crocus.
Nami also remembered Lan Luo's promise to Crocus when they left East Blue and said, "Are we going to find that skeleton?" After speaking, she shivered. At some point, Chopper also huddled with Nami, shivering.
"Alright, that's a Devil Fruit ability. You don't need to be so scared." Lan Luo was a bit speechless at the cowardly duo. He had told them that most of the strangeness in the Pirate World was due to Devil Fruit abilities.
"Hehe, Captain is truly a cool person." Robin also sympathized with Nami and Chopper.
Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Lan Luo: ....
At the same time, at Marineford, Marine Headquarters: "Are you sure it's Lan Luo's group?" A voice from the other end of the Den Den Mushi said, "Confirmed. The information came from the World Government's CP9. Rob Lucci, a spy agent of the World Government's direct secret intelligence agency CP9, known as a 'killing machine' and the strongest of 'CP9' in 800 years. He adheres to 'Dark Justice' and is a Zoan-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Leopard Model user. And Kaku, a spy agent of the World Government's direct secret intelligence agency CP9, a swordsman who uses Four-Sword Style, and a Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe Model user, was defeated and severely wounded by Lan Luo's group's swordsman, Kuina." Having received the confirmed news, Marine Headquarters once again submitted the intelligence to the current Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Looking at the report in his hand, he muttered, "Disappeared for over three months and reappeared again. What exactly is your objective?"
The direction indicated by the Log Pose was the Sabaody Archipelago, so Lan Luo didn't know the exact location of the Florian Triangle. However, they continuously searched back and forth with the airship, and finally, three days later, they reached this dark, sunless sea.
"This time, we are looking for a dilapidated pirate ship to complete the task entrusted by Crocus." Lan Luo encouraged his crew.
At the same time, he activated his extremely wide-ranging Observation Haki. Finally, after half a day, Lan Luo saw that dilapidated pirate ship: a broken pirate flag, a shattered deck. If it hadn't been for it not sinking into the sea, Lan Luo would have found it hard to believe it was a ship that had sailed for fifty years.
Lan Luo had no interest in playing around at the moment and directly spoke loudly: "Brook, we were sent by Laboon to find you. If you can hear us, please reply."
Soon after he finished speaking, Lan Luo and his group saw a skeleton with an afro, dressed in a suit, on the deck, looking at them and weeping.
Seeing this scene, Nami and Chopper instantly hugged each other, screaming "Ghost!" then shivered.
Lan Luo stepped forward and extended his hand: "Hello, my name is Lan Luo, Sivslie Lan Luo. You can call me Lan Luo."
The skeleton, like a gentleman, extended a white, slender hand bone, somewhat unnaturally, and said, "I am Soul King Brook. You really saw Laboon, didn't you?" He hadn't seen anyone in so long, so his communication was a bit rusty.
Everyone had heard Lan Luo and his group tell Laboon's story. Although Lan Luo had told them it was a skeleton, seeing it themselves still made them a bit uneasy.
At this moment, Kuina stepped forward and said, "Laboon is a very good companion. We made a promise to bring you back to fulfill its promise with you. This is something that hasn't been forgotten for fifty years." She couldn't help but feel a little moved; in a Pirate World, such warmth was rare.
Nami also remembered Laboon then and said, "To find you, Laboon has been crashing into the Red Line every day and is covered in wounds. Our purpose in coming here is to find you."
Brook shed tears again and bowed, saying, "Thank you all very much for doing so much for Laboon." For a story, they came to find him, who had been missing for fifty years. How could this not be a romantic thing?
