Returning to the island where Roger's Pirates were currently resting, the sound of Roger and his crew echoed all over the beach as everyone sang along to the music coming from the art store on Oro Jackson.
"Yohohoho, Yohohoho!"
"Yohohoho, Yohohoho!"
"Yohohoho, Yohohoho!"
"Yohohoho, Yohohoho!"
"Binksu no sake wo, todokeni yuku yo!"
"Umikaze kimakase namimakase~!"
"Shio no mulou de, yuhi wo sawagu!"
"Sora nya wao kaku to uta!"
The crew chanted their favorite song, "Binks' Sake," and as the song went on, Roger's singing voice got louder and louder, while Rouge supported them by clapping with a wonderful smile on her face.
This was the most enjoyable day Rouge had, and the rest of the crew felt the same way.
"Sayonara minato, tsumugi ni sata yo!"
"DON to ichou utao, funade no uta!"
"Kinpa-ginpa mo, shibuki ni kaete!"
"Oretachu yuku do, umi no kagiri!"
As the song came to an end, the Roger Pirates enjoyed chanting it until the last note.
...
..
"Oh, it seems that the fun arc ended in the best possible way! Wahahaha!" exclaimed Roger.
Gaban added, "Look at this, Crocus, you've appeared twice in this arc! In the unfortunate flashback of Rumbar Pirates, when you were very young, and here you are again, appearing old in the company of the huge Laboon, Hahahaha! You're so lucky, man."
Roger and the rest of the crew looked on enviously at Crocus, who had appeared again in the manga.

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
At the entrance to the Grand Line, the excited voice of a whale echoed and conquered everything on the horizon: "UUUUUUUEEEH!!!".
Crocus, who was sitting on his outdoor chair and reading a newspaper, was caught by the commotion. He asked, "What's up, Laboon...?"
Laboon's eyes seemed to reflect a happy memory from a distant past, undoubtedly related to the captains of the Rumbar, York, and Brook, and the rest of the crew.
Crocus noticed Laboon's joyful mood and smiled in response, saying, "You certainly seem to be in an awfully good mood today."
Laboon's eyes formed a triangle-shaped curve as he responded with a cheerful "UUUUUUUEEH!!".
It appeared that Laboon was laughing as if the voices of the Rumbar crew had reached him once again from a very distant place.
It could be that they were finally able to rest after their remains were buried and commemorated.
•———•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"This manga is truly indescribable in its amazingness," Crocus said as he wiped a small tear from the corner of his eye.
While there were not many things that could influence his mood, One Piece manga was one of the few things in this world that could.
"The story of Brook, Laboon, and the Rumbar Pirates is one of the greatest stories I have ever known in my life. There is no doubt that this story will teach people in this world a lot of values and principles, and most importantly, patience," Roger said with a smile.
"Yes, dear, and the unfortunate fate of the Rumbar Pirates and what happened to them on the Grand Line will deter many from trying to enter the Grand Line in search of One Piece," Rouge added, her words sounding logical.
"Hmm... a great pirate? I don't remember many female pirates who have the ability to earn that nickname at such era except Linlin... Could Lola be Linlin's daughter?" Roger pondered.
Gaban interjected, "We all know that Big Mom has a great interest in having children. It's not unlikely that Charlotte Linlin is Lola's mother... Wait... it seems like Ace's life is in real danger since his life card is burning this way."
Gaban and the rest of the crew turned around to stare at Roger and Rouge, who froze after seeing the last scene in the volume.
"That's where the volume ended," Young Shanks said.
...
A few minutes ago،
"Hello, Rob," Rouge said calmly, "why is Ace in Impel Down?"
Rouge had already understood that the events in the manga would not affect reality, but that didn't mean she wouldn't feel sad about her son's fate in the manga story.
"Well, Rouge," Rob's voice came from the smartphone he had given her as part of her duties at the art store, "are you sure you want to know about the upcoming events?"
"Yes, you may speak."
"The upcoming events will revolve around Ace being in danger...I can't say anymore. You'll find out for yourself later. Please give my regards to Captain Roger. Good evening."
As soon as he finished speaking, he promptly ended the call to avoid any further questions from Rouge.
"This is..."
...
Returning to the present time:
"That's why Rob said that the upcoming events will center around Ace... Does this mean that the Straw Hat Pirates are going to Impel Down to save Ace?" wondered Rouge.
"Maybe... But with their current strength, going there is tantamount to suicide. I don't think they can even reach Fish-Man island safely... they will undoubtedly collide with the Navy in the Sabaody Archipelago." Roger said.
"Of course, the current Sabaody Archipelago does not belong to the World Government, but in the manga, it still is," Gaban added.
...
Fish-Man Island:
"Wow, this is amazing! Suuuper! Let's dance, Ice-chan! The music is so great, it's moving my emotions!" Little Franky exclaimed with excitement, forgetting his previous grievances with Iceburg.
He invited Iceburg to dance with some merfolk and mermaids children, but Iceburg, usually not shy, turned red and felt uncomfortable.
Tom joked, "Tahahaha! What's up, Iceburg? Are you still shy because of that poster where the sexy secretary flirted with you?"
"Teacher, please don't mention it!" Iceburg felt embarrassed and wished he could hide.
"Tahahahaha! No need to be shy with don! Just accept it and enjoy it, in the future you have to get this sexy secretary, that would be great!" Tom continued to tease him but...
"Tahahaha- Ouch!"Tom laughed so hard, but he was pinched hard by a beautiful nymph, Kokoro, who became a cute store goddess after Rob gifted her his diluted immortality potion intended for restoring youth.
"Stop teasing the child, don't you see that his face is burning!?" She said angrily.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Tom apologized before opening his mouth in shock because he saw something unfamiliar on the last pages of the manga and exclaimed in shock, "What are these extremely voluminous shadows!? Are they monsters!?"
...
"Oh my god!? What the hell are these!?"
"Puff! That's... what's this!?"
"I suddenly remembered the shadows of the sky Islanders that terrified the crew at that time before they went to Skypiea!"
"The mysterious Florian Triangle monsters are even more terrifying!!"
The fish-men who were reading the manga felt their scalps go numb as they saw the terrifying shadows in the mist of the devil sea.
This was unexpected and they didn't know what to make of it.
...
Marigoa:
•———•———•———•———•———•———•
[What's going to happen now? No one knows about it, the Florian Triangle is a really strange area...!!! Every year hundreds of ships are lost, and there is no trace of them left in this dark fog... it is a very ancient phenomenon that dates back more than 10 years before the present day... and exactly when the Thriller Bark followed its travelers in the middle of this sea.]
[It's good that the fog is thick on this day and more opaque than ever... lucky this mystery is hidden forever in this dark sea...]
•———•———•———•———•———•———•
"Fufu~ why are you continuing to interest me so much, Rob-chan!?"
"Won't you stop spreading the mystery in this world?"
"Would you like to make the world enter an era of chaos and fear of the unknown!? Fufu, I like it."
Imu's breath increased when she put her hand down, her excitement was reaching the maximum cheek at this moment.
...
Ohara:
"Congratulations on joining Straw Hat Pirates in the manga..."
Rob greeted Brook with a smile and congratulated him on joining the Straw Hat Pirates in the manga.
He was pleased to see how happy Brook was when he saw the small-sized Laboon, whom he hugged and laughed with joy.
"How... how did Laboon turn into such a small size?"
However, despite his momentary happiness, Brook did not forget to ask how Laboon had turned into such a small size.
"It's the Mini Mini Fruit ability," Rob explained. "After awakening its power, I discovered that I could shrink the size of any living being I wanted. A whale like Laboon can now accompany you anywhere, without any problem even outside the water."
Upon hearing this, Brook's eyes filled with tears. He was grateful for the ability to accompany his last companion from his previous crew anywhere and anytime.
It was the best gift he could receive, after the great gift that One Piece had given him, and the memorialization of the Rumbar crew in the manga.
"Thank you, Rob-sama," Brook said gratefully. "I will not forget today's good, no matter how long I live. Until the era of the Luffy straw hat comes, I will serve you and the Hunters' Guild sincerely!"
...
..
Brook's attention was then drawn to the grave that Franky had made for the Rumbar Pirates. Laboon also let out a sad voice after seeing it, There is no doubt that the real tomb of the Rumbar Pirates was in Ohara... But seeing another one in Thriller Bark made the last two members of the Rumbar Pirates feel very complicated emotions.
"So, by saying that, you're joining Luffy in the future, even if you know it doesn't make sense, Brook?" Rob asked.
"Yes," Brook replied firmly, showing his determination. Rob smiled and turned around to leave, knowing that Brook was a man with strong principles.
...
"Well then, today's volume is over," Rob announced to his customers. "Come back again a month later, a more interesting volume awaits you."
The store owner pulled down the curtain on the volume "Thriller Bark," and cheers spread everywhere after hearing his announcement.
"Oohhhh!!!"
...
Returning to the Fish-Man Island:
"So, Fish-Man Island is next?" asked Iceburg.
"No, the Sabaody Archipelago is next," replied his teacher Tom.
"But the story of Brook and the Pirates of Rumbar is truly epic," continued Tom.
As Tom told the story of Brook, Laboon, York, and others, he was moved to tears. However, the kid Franky beside them cried the most, exclaiming, "Wooooaahhhh!!! Woaaaahh!!"
Tom, Iceberg, and Kokoro all sighed after hearing this. They were touched by the story.
Franky, in particular, was deeply affected. Since Brook's legendary flashback started, he couldn't hold back his tears no matter how hard he tried. "Woaaaahh!! I'm suuuuper sad~" he exclaimed.
"Enough, stop crying, Franky," Tom told Franky. "You will go blind if the river of your tears dries up!"
Despite Franky's emotional display, many Fishmen were sympathetic to the Rumbar pirates who unconditionally loved Laboon. Even Arlong and the Fishmen of the Fishmen district felt the same way.
