I Have No Interest In Devil Fruit

"Yohohoho, are you all waiting for me here?"

Just after returning to the living real world from that chaotic different dimension, Brooke, who was in a soul state, was quite flattered to be surrounded by pairs of living eyes that he had not seen for so long, and tearfully said, "It's really surprising! I'm so moved I'm about to cry—although I don't have eyes anymore! Yoho, yohohohoho... But how do you know I'm going to be here at this time?"

The giantess-like Bai Xing squatted in the back row of everyone, touched his fingertips, and explained softly: "It was Mr. Lynch who went to Fishman Island to ask Mrs. Sharley to investigate after Mr. Brook disappeared for a year. Divination. Mrs. Xiali's divination indicates that today, five years later, we will get a result..."

"Six years ago, when Chopper, Sister Nami, and Franky started to study the re-cultivation of Brook's body..." Link found a piece of fruit from somewhere and gnawed it, and whispered next to his sister Finch. He muttered, "The power of Brook's Underworld Fruit seems to have gone one step further. His soul—accidentally opened a certain portal and disappeared from this world!"

Finch recalled what he said six years ago...

"Is it the time when Sanji quarreled with Nami and Chopper?" Finch had a little impression of this. When Sanji heard that Chopper and others used the blood factors in Brook's bones to breed Brook's clones, He was very dissatisfied with this blasphemy of life, and it was also rare that he had a fire with his companions who had ventured on the great route together. Finch didn't understand how they talked afterwards, and she had never heard of it. At that time, Brooke's soul disappeared in this world, and what strange "portal" was opened?

Finch glanced at his younger brother, "You like to use Huahua's ability to eavesdrop and peek around?"

"I heard it by accident!" Link quickly explained, "How old was I at that time, I was just playing around with my abilities, and I accidentally heard them arguing..."

"You said 'portal'... just like when Brook appeared out of thin air just now?" Finch said to herself, and she glanced at Chopper among the crowd who was warmly welcoming the returning Brook's soul, especially on Chopper's shoulder. Mei Li, the ship elf, said, "Mirror ability can open the door to the mirror world. If the fruit of the underworld can also open any door, it can only be..."

"Yohohohoho, it's been five years, has it been six years since I left this world?" Brooke's miserable soul smiled unconsciously, "But in my feeling... how should I put it, it seems to be just Six minutes have passed, and it seems to be 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 used to the existence of 'time' from this world , It's very easy to lose yourself there... I almost felt that I couldn't come back at all, and I was assimilated there and became a part of it..."

Shirahoshi seemed to be frightened by the scene Brook described, and wiped the corners of his eyes sadly.

Nami patted Shirahoshi's skirt and asked Brook, "But you came back successfully, Brook."

"Is it because Brook is the ability user of Huangquan fruit?" Usopp analyzed.

Sanji pondered: "He is the only one among us who has not 'fused' the devil fruit ability..."

Brooke laughed and said, "Yo ho ho ho ho! Of course it's because I still want to see my friends, how can I be trapped in that kind of place? Fifty years of life as a lonely ghost is enough for people , don't come another fifty years, five hundred years! Yoho, yohohoho..."

"Oh, Brook, you are really good~~" Luffy, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp waved their hands triumphantly, "You really can talk!"

Robin asked: "There, have you found your former partner? Captain Yankee, and others..."

Brook was silent for a while, 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?" Sauron murmured.

"That's right! It's like intuition!" Brook suddenly became happy again, "Has Mr. Sauron ever had such an experience? The person he misses has already passed away, but he can still feel from time to time that the other person seems to be still by his side." Same!—Gravity, as Mr. Lynch once said!"

"..." Sauron was silent, probably thinking of someone.

"I think... as long as I still remember Captain Yankee and the others, I can follow this gravitational force and see them again in that world!" Brooke smiled heartily, and the ghost-like soul turned around and faced Lynch, "Next Next time I go, I think maybe I can take Raab with me. Raab must also remember Captain Yankee and everyone, and it would be best to have him to help!"

"Yes. Let Rab choose one of the abilities of the fruit of everyone." Lynch nodded, stared at Brook, and confirmed, "That is to say, 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 still There is no loss, if the people who enter the world of the underworld still remember the undead, it is possible to find them in that world. Is that so?"

Brook said seriously: "That's right."

A stone in his heart fell to the ground, and Robin's tense body suddenly loosened, and he supported Lynch next to him.

Hancock came and held Robin's other hand, the empress had a gentle expression on her face.

Lynch and the two women looked at each other, nodded, and looked around at the people present with different expressions, "Now we have the result. Huang Quan, the undead... If you have lost someone and you can't forget it, now you have a chance to personally Bring them back from the underworld..."

"I have to go." Ace blurted out. Yamato next to him grabbed his hand and gave a supportive smile.

"..." Sauron was expressionless, and he clenched the handle of the Hedao Yiwen knife at his waist.

"But Brook also said that in another world, there is no concept of time." Sanji shook out a cigarette and lit it.

"Even Brooke has been lost for six years in a daze..." Frankie rubbed his fists.

Confused? ! Brooke cares about this assessment.

Chopper and Usopp quietly clenched their fists.

Only Smoker and the others were out of the situation, and they couldn't figure out whether these people got together to brag, or... is it true? Underworld? The afterlife? Is it real?

Lynch said, "Everyone decides whether or not to go on this trip to the Underworld."

"Do you need to ask? Lynch!" Lu Fei giggled, his whole body trembling with excitement, "A big adventure in another world...I can't wait!!!"

Nami sighed and supported her forehead, and shook her head. What's the matter with this long-lost feeling of powerlessness?

She smiled, and punched Luffy with a lightning fist, "Is there anyone in that world you want to find back?"

Luffy turned his head and said blankly, "It doesn't seem to be there! But whatever, it's an adventure!" He said angrily, "Nami, you really don't understand at all!"

Lynch smiled and snapped his fingers towards Chopper, "Merry."

Meili floated to Lynch from Chopper's shoulder, took out a mirror from her small bag, enlarged it casually, 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 this solution, there is a living heart floating.

Meili held it to Brooke.

Brook laughed, turned into a green will-o'-the-wisp, rushed into the glass cover without hindrance, and merged with the heart.

Under everyone's gaze, the heart beat "poundingly".

At the same time, a cloud of gray phantom appeared on Lynch's body, and the stand-in "G.F.H" smashed the glass shell with a punch and hit the heart.

As if being injected with some kind of power, the heart was pounding, and suddenly burst out like a dense blood vessel, meridians, muscles, blood and even bones, intertwined and filled with each other, under the gaze of everyone , grew wildly and rapidly, forming a glowing red body of a human male over two meters tall, 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 wrapped cloak, what followed was Brooke crying loudly. For many years, this was the first time he really, with his own flesh and blood, Breathing the air greedily!

"..." Sanji smiled and sighed.

The Kingdom of Germa, where he was born, had evil research on artificially bred artificial humans, which is why he was so angry six years ago when he heard that Chopper and the others were planning to clone Brooke's body—the cloned body, very soon Apparently there would have been born a new budding consciousness based on this living body.

and then? In order to wait for the "returned" Brooke, do you want to brutally obliterate the original consciousness, personality, and soul of the clone?

Sanji would never accept his partner doing this.

He rolled up his sleeves and went to prepare food, he couldn't help smiling, Chopper and Miss Nami chose a compromise solution for his scruples - not to clone the complete body, not even to clone the head or brain, but just cloned his heart using the blood factors from Brook's skeleton.

If it is just a heart, it will not germinate a new consciousness, or "soul", and there will be no moral dilemma of obliterating another "Brooke" for Brook's "resurrection".

Just leave the rest to Lynch.

It should not be difficult for the eight-armed saint Lynch to "repair" a heart into a complete body, right?

Now it seems that it is really not difficult.

"Mom..." Sanji muttered to himself with a smile after finishing the food, and went back with a huge dinner plate in one hand. He caught a glimpse of Garp, Rayleigh, and Shanks appearing at some time. I heard the conversation of the people just now. Karp was waving his hands at Smoker and the others, as if refusing their dissuasion, he laughed indifferently and said, "Hahaha, Cyborg, Warring States, Sakaski, too many old acquaintances I'm in that world... It's not a loss if you can find it, and it doesn't matter if you can't find it. My old bones, I don't think I can come back after I go!"

"You know, that bastard Roger found me on the pier and recruited me to become a pirate." Reilly said with a smile, "What did you say to overthrow the world, but he himself died the first." He looked at Ace .

Ace said with a bad face: "I didn't go to find that bastard. I went to Huangquan just to find my mother."

"Then I'll be responsible for helping Mr. Raleigh find Captain Roger." Shanks smiled, "But just now, Brook seemed to say that the person who enters the underworld will form a certain gravitational force with the undead who never forgets... "

"There is no gravity between me and that person!" Ace emphasized, and then he turned back and took out the communicator, "Father..." He called Marco, Joz, Vista and other members of the white group without hesitation.

"Sanji-san! This is the first time I've really tasted your food!"

布鲁克一边毫无形象地狂吃海塞，一边感动得痛哭流涕，“哟嚯，哟嚯嚯，呜呜呜呜呜呜呜，实在是太美味了！活着真好啊！！！”

...

In a laboratory, Vegapunk, the principal of Ranger University, is busy. He didn't look up when Lynch came in.

Lynch looked towards the corner of the laboratory. The white-haired Spencer looked at the glass dome full of green solution in front of him.

"I'll just go by myself." Lynch said with folded arms.

"..." Spencer smiled, "One more person, isn't it just an extra 'gravity'?"

He looked at the living heart floating quietly in the green solution of the glass cover, "I must find her, I can definitely find her..." He smiled, "A ranger like your mother, no matter what kind of sea it is." Whether it's the world of thieves or the world of Huangquan, there must be no problem. If anyone gets lost, she won't get lost, she must still be somewhere, in that world..."

...

the next day.

Brook prepares to open the portal to the Underworld.

All gathered around. Lynch, Robin, Hancock, Chopper, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Franky, Ace, Marko, Jozy, Vista, Garp, Rayleigh, Shannon Alex, Spencer...

Xiang Lian, who has been guarding the tomb on Las Gap Island all these years, also came.

Lynch went to Lily's tomb to obtain her blood factor, so naturally he couldn't hide this matter from Xianglian.

"Don't persuade me," Xianglian waved her hand and said, "Believe me, I feel fine now..."

In addition, there is another person that many people did not expect.

Kuzan with gray and white natural curly hair. Former Admiral Aokiji. For twenty years, the navy has been in decline, and he has also wandered around the world without a trace, but he did not expect to appear today.

Still wearing the small round sunglasses, Kuzan raised his chin to Lynch, took out a coat from his backpack, and put it on with a splash. It turned out to be a navy coat with "Justice" written on it. It is very old.

Karp laughed, hooked Kuzan's shoulder, and gave a thumbs up.

Lynch suddenly noticed his daughter's gaze, "What's wrong?"

Finch lowered his eyes, then raised them again, "Are you guys coming back?"

"..." Robin held Finch's cheek and kissed her forehead lightly, "Good boy, of course." She smiled again, "Don't forget your mother's substitute ability. No matter what, we As long as you want to come back, it is still very easy.”

Finch couldn't help laughing, sniffed the tip of his nose, hugged Robin gently, and after letting go, went to hug his mother Hancock tightly.

Hancock caressed his daughter's back, and then waved his hand casually. On her body, separate black and white snake-like phantoms emerged, condensing into a strange "ghost" half a person's height like a tide, This is her stand-in—"Dirty Little Animals", which is a remote-controlled stand-in, but Hancock can let go of the control if he wants to, so that the stand-in has a certain degree of autonomy.

With a single thought, Hancock can exchange places with his substitute...

Lynch reached out and rubbed the top of his daughter's head, and said with a smile, "Take care of your brother."

"Yeah." Finch threw himself into his arms and nodded.

Over there, Zelda held his mother Yamato's hand and said goodbye to his father Ace. That kid Link was over there, and now he came back from a stroll, hugging Lynch and the others pitifully, "Dad, Mom, Mom, I will miss you too..."

Brook opened the gate of the underworld, Lynch and the others looked back, and nodded with Sanda and Mary who were sitting on the two fire clouds. Amidst Luffy's excited laughter, everyone dived into another world one after another.

The gate of the underworld is slowly closing...

Smoker and the others failed to recover for a long time. Their trip was just to ask the Queen of Nine Snakes to lift the petrification of those navy comrades, but they did not expect to encounter such a bizarre thing... Lynch, Luffy, Mr. Garp, 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, "Yeah!!!!", which startled everyone. It turned out that Link jumped up excitedly on the spot.

Finch shook his head, and Ah Qing pointed to the half-person-high "Dirty Little Animals" next to him, who was turning his head and squinting at Link - obviously, it was not a substitute who was in charge at the moment, but Empress Hanku K is manipulating the double. Link landed on the ground, patted his clothes, and said sadly, "Oh, when will mom and dad come back? I'm already thinking about them... woo woo woo..."

"Hehehe." Nami couldn't help laughing.

Bermel is not dead, and Nami doesn't remember who her biological parents are at all... She looked at Yamato beside her, and her eyes fell on the daughter Zelda who was holding Yamato.

"I thought Xiao Da would go to the Underworld with your father to take risks." Nami asked with a smile, "Don't you like your grandma Lu Jiu very much?"

"Daddy can definitely find grandma...and grandpa."

Zelda was talking, suddenly a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "And I still have exams..."

Nami was taken aback, Link over there couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Zelda's face turned red all of a sudden.
