"Ah, old man, do you know this whale? I'm sorry, I attacked him in a hurry just now."
Kurocus waved his hand and didn't blame Luffy.
"It's okay. After all, in that situation just now, you would be troubled if you didn't do that."
"Then old man, can you tell us what happened to this whale? It looks like he has a serious injury on his head."
Lin Lai led the topic to this aspect.
Kurocus stood on the shore, reached out and touched Laboo's head, and then couldn't help sighing.
"This child is called Laboo. As you can see, it is the largest whale in the world, an island whale."
"50 years ago..." (In order to prevent you from saying that I'm wasting words, I won't write it. Everyone should know it.)
He slowly told us about Laboo, and finally spoke helplessly.
"After I told Laboo about the destruction of the pirate group, it started to hit the Red Earth Continent, trying to find the Rumba Pirates."
"Although the Red Earth Continent is very strong and its body is already scarred, it has never given up and just keeps hitting it stupidly."
After listening to Crocus's story, everyone was very silent. Is this the case with this whale? No wonder there are so many wounds.
People may not be able to wait for so long, let alone this is a whale.
On the side, Luffy suddenly came to Laboo after listening to Crocus's story.
Then, under the confused eyes of everyone, he punched the other party on the head.
Laboo felt pain, his huge eyes were full of anger, and he became violent all of a sudden, and his huge body rushed towards Luffy in an instant.
Luffy jumped and changed his position in an instant, avoiding the attack, and punched Laboo on the head again.
Next to him, Usopp and the others who had come to their senses stood there without saying a word, although they didn't understand what Luffy was doing.
However, as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, they still believed in Luffy, although he was sometimes unreliable.
Just like that, one whale and one man started fighting here.
After Laboo attacked again, Luffy suddenly stretched out his right hand.
"Pause."
Laboo also stopped in response, looking at Luffy with a puzzled look.
Next to him, Lin Lai couldn't help but sigh, my goodness, what kind of setting is this, you can call for a pause in a fight.
If those stupid netizens from my previous life came, they would probably have poked the other party in the eyes and kicked him in the crotch the moment he called for a pause.
In front, Luffy looked at Laboo, bent down and asked him to pick up the straw hat on the ground, put it on his head, and then looked serious.
"I can't beat you, and you can't hit me either. In that case, how about we call it a draw?"
As he spoke, his mouth was already curled up.
"We call it a draw this time, so let's make an appointment to continue fighting next time. However, that will have to wait until I become the Pirate King and return here after traveling around the world. During this period, you have to wait for us to come back."
At this moment, time seemed to stop. Laboo looked at Luffy's figure, as if he had returned to the time when he made the promise with that man 50 years ago.
Laboo's eyes were flashing with tears, looking at Luffy. At this moment, Laboo accepted Luffy's promise, and it had a new target to wait for.
"Luffy."
"Well done, Captain."
The people below couldn't help cheering for Luffy, and Crocus next to him was also relieved. It seemed that this straw hat had found someone who suited him.
Luffy looked at Laboo and laughed, but looking at the wound on Laboo's head, he was a little embarrassed.
What if this guy crashes into the Red Earth Continent again to find his people like before?
Just as he was thinking about this question, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, and there was a bucket of paint on it.
"Hey, Luffy, I have a good idea, how about painting our pirate flag pattern on Lab's head."
"Oh, Lin Lai, you came just in time."
A light flashed in Luffy's eyes, and he instantly understood Lin Lai's idea.
Then, Luffy called on everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates to start.
Others did not refuse, picked up the paint, and painted on Lab's head.
"Yoshi, it's done."
After more than ten minutes, Luffy stretched, wiped the paint on his face, and then spoke to Lab with a smile on his face.
"Labo, this is proof of our agreement. You can't let it disappear before we come back."
Labo looked at the pattern and let out a cry of joy. Then he wagged his tail happily and rubbed Luffy's body with his head, then rubbed LinCome, because just now, Lin Lai helped it heal the wound on its head.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, then it's agreed, Laboo, remember to wait for us to come back."
Luffy waved at Laboo, and then looked at Crocus next to him.
"Old man, we're leaving, you must take good care of Laboo."
"Is that even necessary for you to say."
Crocus nodded slowly, and then sent some medicine and an item to Luffy and the others.
"This is the medicine I usually researched. Although it is not very precious and can only treat a cold or something, these are indispensable items for sea adventures. Please accept them."
"And this, the record pointer. Without this thing, sailing is impossible."
As he said, without waiting for everyone to answer, he had already stuffed it into the hands of Usopp, who was closest to him.
"By the way, the sea is too dangerous, and the ship doctor is an indispensable role. If you have a chance, find a doctor to join you."
"I will."
Luffy nodded, and everyone returned to the Merry.
"Then we'll go. Bye."
The group waved their hands to Lab and Kulokas, saying their final goodbyes.
Lab stood in the back, watching the Merry getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but make a series of noises, saying goodbye to his friends.
Lab stopped roaring only when the Merry disappeared.
Seeing that Lab was in a bad mood, Kulokas couldn't help but patted his head.
"Okay Lab, they still have their journey, don't they? Don't be sad, you will definitely meet again in the end, let's go back."
Klokas said, and he had already entered Lab's body, where there was a small world, and where he usually lived.
Lab listened to Kulokas' words, put away his sadness, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, but the top of his head was exposed above the water.
"Lin Lai, do you think we can really meet Lab again?"
Nami looked at the sea level behind her, a little uncertain.
"I don't know about others, but I'm sure it's us."
As he said that, Lin Lai couldn't help but look up at the sun in the sky.
"Because, we are the Straw Hat Pirates."
