115. Farewell

  At the dock,

  Daigin could be seen commanding the marines for the journey preparation, after their stays for almost a month in Flevance.

  Tiana was busy assisted by Rome to decide which is the best route towards Twin Cape under Reverse Mountain. Their mission regarding sending Brook's back to fulfill his promise was still underway.

  Currently, Kimimaro and Enel were accompanying Brook on top of the "Sky Hill", A very beautiful hill with immersive looks toward Flevance capital city.

  Kimimaro and Enel standing besides the skeleton as the tter put down white flower under a rather massive grave with a tomb that looks like a huge cross.

  The tomb was carved from white marble, surrounding it was several sculpture of musical instuments such as piano in the middle, violin, bass, guitar, etc

  On the middle of the cross, there was a carving of ribbon with "Rumbar" written in the middle. Kimimaro ordered to ommit "Pirates" as to not gives any misgiving towards Flevance Royal family when he was asked about the carving.

  Thats right, The tomb was Kimimaro's reward for Brook!

  Kimimaro was feeling so grateful toward Brook, Because of him and his music, the sves mental health had been recovered completely.

  Conflicting about what reward he should grant the skeleton, Kimimaro remembered about the cofin Brook brought with him on the journey.

  He decided to ask for a pce with the best view from King Vaca to make a grave for Rumbar pirates remains.

  King Vaca immediately ordered his subject to assist Kimimaro when he heard it was a reward for Brook.

  Thanks to Brook, Flevanese people had finally noticed their talent on pying musical instruments, even some miners stop their job only to become a musician due to the skeleton influence! and that makes Flevance entertainment more flourishing. much to the King delight.

  "Thank you..." Brook suddenly broke into sobbing mess after he saw what surprise Kimimaro had for him.

  the two brothers look at each other first before they sits on each of Brook's side with wide grin.

  "Yahahhaha! Don't mention it Brook!" Enel patted the skeleton cheerfuly.

  "This is what you deserve Brook, though, I'm sorry i couldn't build it in West Blue." Kimimaro smiled as he took out a bottle of wine for them to share.

  "Yohohohoho! No, this much is enough Kimimaro-san! Even though this is not our homend, Having burried them in the most beautiful city in the world is so much honor!"

  Brook eye sockets were still flowing with tears as he ughed. it makes the two brothers wonders where does the tears came from.

  in the middle of his tears, Brook suddenly crack open his skull and took a recorder dial from it. next He put the snail remains on top of the tomb dais and soon cheerful melody of Bink's Sake coming from dial accompanied the trio who sit on top of the hill.

  While the recorder dial pying the music, Brook talked, "Yorki, are you still alive? here lies our comrades, Mizuta brothers, Jack, Hommer, Dr.Pet, Hanson. I'm so grateful that i'm still alive! Thanks to my new friends here, i can finally fulfill our promise to our old friend we left on Twin Cape years ago. Yorki, if you're still alive. I hope we can meet once again with Laboon there."

  ".....Rumbar is no more. my comrades, you can rest now..."

  Brook pressed his forehead down as the dials loosing its energy and stop pying music! Then he slumped forward and cried loudly!

  Kimimaro and Enel drink their wine calmly, patiently waiting on Brook who letting his past grief out from his being.

  Afternoon,

  after the crews had prepared enough on supplies, Kimimaro was having conversation with King Vaca and Dr.Smith on the dock.

  Wearing a rather casual clothes, the King and his daughter, together with Dr.Smith family said their farewell toward the young Marine.

  Kimimaro had decided that their visit had come to an end in Flevance. Besides, the sves had been granted new lives here thank to his majesty grace.

  all the while,

  "Whaaat?! You're the dwarf!"

  "Hmpff, look at your short height! Ugly!"

  "Ugly! How dare you! try this fist of mine!!!"

  "Oh yeah? Come! Do you think i'm afraid just because you're a princess? Brute!"

  "Huh?! Don't involve my identity! Are you afraid? Panda!"

  "Afraid? to a shrimp like you?"

  "You.....!!!"

  "You.....!!!"

  Under Kimimaro interesting gaze, Princess Fransisca and Trafalgar Law the two brats with the same age were arguing and about to get into brawl.

  The reason on why they hate each other were actually simple, Ever since Dr.Smith had frequent visit to Royal castle due to grey antidote, at some point, he brought his son Law to visit.

  Law and Fransisca inadvertently met each other as the princess had peculiar habit to stroll around the castle ground, when they meet, Fransisca were rather upset by the boy's nonchant atitude bordering on ignoring her the princess.

  Law doesn't have an interest toward Fransisca as he questioned the ter intelect. While Fransisca was fuming when he saw Law rude atitude towards her.

  Story short, whenever they meet, arguments would broke between them and sometimes even brawl.

  King Vaca shook his head as Dr.Smith hide his face feeling embarrassed.

  "Hahahhaa, well kids, i'm going now." Called Kimimaro prompting the two brats to immediately come to him and stop their arguments.

  "Dear se?or Kimimaro, will you come back?" Princess Fransisca fidgetting on her legs looking like a proper dy, showing hope on her flushed face much to her father displeasure.

  "Uncle, euh*, I mean, Brother. You will return right?" Asked Law as he felt rather lost when he knew that Kimimaro will leave soon.

  patting the two brats head, Kimimaro gently nodded, "Don't worry, If i'm on patrol around North Blue, i'll definitely visit you."

  Princess Fransisca nodded and soon pulled back by his fuming father, prompting confusion in her clear eyes.

  Law was also pulled back by Smith.

  "Well, thank you for your service Se?or Kimimaro, i hope for your next visit." King Vaca nodded at Kimimaro, his words contained myriad of meanings only both of them knew.

  "Thank you for your hospitality Your Majesty, i pray for Flevance rise in future under your kingship." Replied Kimimaro.

  "Thank you sir for everything, You saved me and my family lives. I as well waiting for your next visit." Dr.Smith shook Kimimaro's hand.

  "Good luck doctor, I hope your successful endeavour."

  Kimimaro looked towards Smith's wife Anna, the ter tried to hide her awkwardness, yet still said her farewell.

  "Wabuuu...Awashhhh, kyaaahahhaa." excimed Lami on her mothers arms, the baby seems noticed that Kimimaro's head and her skull toy had some simirities.

  Kimimaro smiled warmly towards the entourage, he looked behind them to see Flevance people had came as well, while mostly saying their goodbye towards Brook.

  Under Flevance people warm gaze, Kimimaro Warship finally disappear into the horizon, leaving them a story about skeleton musician to tell for their next generation.
