I Don’t Want to Be a General, I Choose Buddhism

"What?" Brooke's skeletonized mouth opened and he seemed a little puzzled.

"I need your strength, follow me and join the 'Virtual Circle' organization." Ion said straight to the point, but his gentle tone did not give any room for Brook to refuse.

"Are you inviting me to join the Pirates? Hohohoho..."

Brooke said with a weird laugh. "It's just that it's a little too abrupt."

"No, I'm no stranger to your past, Mr. Brooke, and in order to find you, Moriah has even been looking for you in the Devil's Triangle for nearly two years."

Ion spoke softly.

I have to say that the Devil's Triangle is too big, and it is shrouded in thick fog all year round. There are wrecks of ships floating on the sea, and there are countless corpses. I want to live in this environment. Finding a living skeleton rack in the middle of nowhere is almost as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

And, after Yon accumulated enough artificial devil fruits to awaken the "Void Soul Chopping Blade·Skull King" a few years ago, the ability of "Skull King" is aging, and even affects the user's body. The same will affect the ability.

This time, after Ion simply gave the "Skull King" ability through the death row inmates, he found that once the death row inmates used this ability, they would also age rapidly.

By the way, Ion specifically tested what would happen if he forcibly deprived the "Void Soul Chopping Knife" to those who were given the "Void Soul Chopping Knife".

The result is... an instant death!

In the end, after Yon's many experiments, he found that the only person who seemed to have the ability to use the "Skull King" was Brook, who had the ability to use the "Yellow Spring Fruit".

As a person with the ability of "Yellow Spring Fruit", Brook died as early as fifty years ago, and then his body can still be resurrected even when his body has been completely turned into a skeleton.

"In order to express my sincerity, this is the gift I brought to you when I first met."

Immediately, Ion took out a video phone bug from his arms and placed it in front of Brook.

"Phone bug? What do you mean?" Brooke asked.

However, as the video phone bug was opened and projected a whale, Brook was so excited that his bones were shaking.

"pull...pull?!"

And at the other end of the phone bug, there was a high-pitched voice from Rab, who was also staring at the phone bug's image.

Confirming that the whale in front of him was his former partner, Brook, who had spent fifty years alone in the Devil's Triangle, magically overflowed with tears in his eyes and said excitedly.

"It's really you, Rab, great, great..."

But soon, Brook noticed the scars on Rab's head and asked nervously. "Rabu, what's with the scar on your head? Is it hurt?"

It's just that Rab the whale doesn't speak, and just keeps making sounds that symbolize joy.

Ion, who was beside him, spoke up and said. "Rabu has been waiting for something for more than fifty years, and has been hitting the Upside Down Mountain with his head all year round."

"What?!"

Brooke was stunned for a moment, then realized why Raab did it.

When Brook and his gang first entered the Great Route, in order to protect Rab, they decided to part with Rab, and the two parties agreed to sail around the Great Route for a week, and then they would return to Upside Down Mountain to pick it up.

It's just... Brook's group failed to leave the "Devil's Triangle" in the end. They ran out of supplies and starved to death on the sea. Brook also relied on the ability of the "Yellow Spring Fruit" and finally died a day after death. It took years to recover smoothly.

At this moment, Brook's oozing bone and eyes welled up with tears as he cried. "I'm sorry Rab, I didn't keep my promise, sorry..."

Moria, who was also watching this scene, was inexplicably moved and said as if she felt the same way.

"It's so... so touching, Brooke, I didn't expect you to be so affectionate and righteous..."

And Brook communicated with Rab through the video phone bug for more than an hour, and then he hung up the phone bug reluctantly, and he still took the video phone bug that could talk to Rab. in hand.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Brook, this video phone bug was originally a gift for you, you can communicate with Rabu at any time through this video phone bug, and there is also a special person on Rab's side to maintain the normality of the phone bug, So you can rest assured..."

After a pause, Ion continued. "Of course, if you want to meet Rab, I can make arrangements for you as well."

"Thank you."

Brooke said respectfully. "This is my last buddy in the past, thank you for allowing me to communicate with Rab."

Immediately, Brooke spoke up. "If there is anything you need me to do for you, then please be sure to tell me that I still have a little confidence in swordsmanship and music."

"I've said it just now, I'm here to invite you this time, Mr. Brooke, what I hope is that you can join the 'Virtual Circle' organization." Ion said again.

This time, Brooke asked seriously instead of his previous funny look. "I take the liberty to ask, what is the purpose of your invitation to join the 'virtual circle' organization?"

"The sea is about to undergo drastic changes, and the times have reached the edge of change..."

Ion stated in a calm tone. "The 'virtual circle' organization has only one purpose, that is to completely erase the old era and prepare for the new generation of the new era."

"What... what?" Hearing Ion's astonishing words, Brook was stunned.

After all, even more than fifty years ago, Brook was not a pirate standing at the top of the sea, or even a loser who did not even reach the "New Era" waters.

Brooke said helplessly.

"This... Your Excellency, although my heart is boiling with enthusiasm, I clearly understand that my strength is far from being enough to help this kind of thing."

"Power will be granted to you by me, all you need to do is to use my power, carry my will, and start subverting the world..."

As Ion's voice fell, a ball of light appeared in Ion's palm.

Brook hesitated for a moment, then slowly extended his fingers that had turned into bones and touched the ball of light.

The next moment, a large amount of white substance seeped out from Brook's body, completely wrapping Brook in it.
