Amidst the euphoria of reading the last chapters following Moria's defeat, the sound of a piano playing emanated from the art store, catching everyone's attention.
🎶 🎶 🎶 〰️
"What's that sound?" someone asked. "Is someone playing the piano?"
"Could it be the song that Brook playing right now in the manga?" another person speculated excitedly.
"Oh, I recognize this melody," exclaimed a third. "It's the Bink's Sake! That's a pirate song!"
"Definitely a pirate song," someone agreed.
...
At that moment, inside the Ohara art store, Brook heard the familiar piano playing and tears began to enfold down his face involuntarily.
The intensity of his emotions increased as he reminisced about the events of the manga.
"No... Please... Don't remember me..."

"One Piece" Events:

"Oi, aren't you a violinist?" asked Sanji curiously upon seeing Brook seated near the piano.
"Yohohoho, I can play any instrument. But let's get back to that topic. I also saw what happened earlier by accident, and I'm deeply touched by the actions of you two," replied Brook.
He added, "Comrades, isn't it such a wonderful thing?"
"Don't put me and him on the same topic. I'm not an idiot like him," Sanji replied, feeling somewhat ashamed of what had happened earlier.
"No, you had the same resolution as him. Let me play a song. Is there one on your mind?" Brook asked Sanji if he had a favorite tune.
"Hmm, you can play anything, right? How about...?"
Before Sanji could finish, Brook interrupted with a suggestion: "Ah, 'Bink's Sake'..."
"Damn it! Weren't you asking me to pick?!?" Sanji exploded in anger.
But he soon calmed down as Brook began to play. The soft sound of the piano spread through the hall and caressed everyone's ears.
"I think I've heard 'Bink's Sake' somewhere before. It's quite nostalgic," Robin commented with a smile.
🎶 🎶 🎶 〰️
Brook continued to play elegantly until he was surprised by the appearance of Luffy on the piano cover. "Oi! Brook! I know this song!!! Shanks and his crew sing it!"
"The pirates from the olden days all know this song. No matter when they're in times of sorrow or times of joy... Yohohoho!"
Enjoying playing, Luffy said, "Let's be comrades, alright? Now that you've reclaimed your shadow, you don't have to worry about sailing in the sun, right?"
"About that... there's actually one thing that I haven't told you yet," Brook said.
"What?" Luffy asked, surprised.
"I made a promise... with a comrade. If I don't fulfill it first, then I'm not fit to be a man," replied Brook.
"Ha ha! You're talking about Laboon, huh? I know about it!"
"Eh... Yohoho, so Laboon is the name of the whale at Twin Cape..."
Luffy interrupted him, "Like I said, Brook, we met Laboon at Reverse Mountain! Really!"
...
...
"Is he... still doing fine?" Brook asked.
"He's doing great!" Luffy replied.
"Did he... grow big?"
"As big as a mountain..."
"Yohoho... I really want to see him because, at the time we parted, he was only the size of a small ship. He was so adorable! Although he isn't well-tamed, he really loves music! He's a good boy..."
"Even now, as soon as I close my eyes, his face would appear right before me. OOOH! I don't have eyes!!!" Brook said while joking.
"His look would appear and linger in anyone's mind..." He added.
🎶 🎶 🎶 〰️
"THIS IS REALLY AWESOME!!!! SO HE'S ACTUALLY LIVING, AND WELL!!! WUUUUUAHA "SOB"," Brook exclaimed emotionally.

🎶 🎶 🎶 〰️
When Brook heard the sound of his friends from the Rumbar Pirates playing in the art store, he couldn't hold back his emotions anymore.
He remembered that moment!
It was the first time they met Laboon, who was small and lost in the middle of the sea.
"Sigh..."
Clover, Vegapunk, Olvia, and the others stared at Brook with deep sadness in their eyes, having already read his tragic backstory.
"Do they deserve a fate like this?" Rosinante asked, his voice cracking.
Olvia and Matriarch secretly wiped their tears...
Even though Olvia knew the story of Brook and Laboon, she didn't know the subtleties as detailed in the manga.
As expected, after just a few moments, most of the readers in the art store began to cry heartily.
Who could remain unaffected by Brook's backstory, which most critics think is sadder and more tragic than Robin's backstory?
At that moment, Rob came out of his personal section, carrying Little Yamato with him.
She was enjoying the song "Bink's Sake."
The arrival of Rob, who was carrying a little girl in his arms, caught the attention of his wives, who felt the danger.
They wondered if Yamato was his child, and if so, who her mother was.
Even Olvia thought about it before shaking her head, banishing these disgraceful thoughts, and walking towards him with a smile on her face.
"This is Yamato. She's our new daughter. I told you about her. Take care of her. I'll talk to Brook a little," Rob said.
When Olvia heard that it was Yamato, all her fears disappeared, as did Sora's and the others'. "Okay. Come with me, my little."
"You're Olvia, Robin's mother! Yay!" Yamato exclaimed, more than happy to catch the eye of one of her favorite characters from the manga.
