Chapter Four

This is ... the end of the Mugiwaras?


"Should not a meeting be done with all the members present?" Zoro was suspicious.

"Luffy is resting and empowered me to hold that meeting and resolve the situation as I see fit. But first, wait a little, "Sabo asked, looking around. Searching for something in the navigator's drawers, until her knees hit something strategically hidden and pinned under the table. "What is it?"

"It's a voice recorder dialer," Usopp explained.

"Turn it off, please." As soon as the sniper did, the blonde resumed. "This meeting is about the navigator."

"Sabo told me that he saw Nami stirring in some of my jars. He also found a strange blue powder with it. I analyzed with care and came to the conclusion that it was Kairoseki. "Chopper showed them the jar.

"What are you saying ?!" Usopp feared what he would see next.

"N-Nami-shwan" Sanji could not believe that his beloved Merolline was-

"Franky is SUPER disappointed" the robot was desolate.

"I told Chopper she was strange, but I never imagined it was so-" Robin had never felt anything like that, a big disappointment indeed, but she felt something else in her chest, a pain never felt.

"That damn witch!" Zoro cut the table with one of his swords.

"I quickly realized the difference of juice made by Sanji for her. Both taste and color. The mineral is basically the essence of the sea. Something that makes a bearer of Akuma no Mi go bad just to mention. Luffy did not realize that he had been ingesting all this time because of his illness. He was already weak. Kairoseki was slowly killing him. "

"B-But now he's fine, is not?" Usopp worried. "You found out in time. Chopper can create an antidote, can not? "

"I do not know, Usopp. Kairoseki is something that goes beyond my knowledge, "the little elk confessed, saddened to be aware of its limits.

"This is so sad, Yo ho ho ho." Brook heard everything outside, he was crying silently. "If I had a heart, he'd be broke now."

"In the face of all this, I can no longer jeopardize my brother's safety. It will be painful, both for you and for him. But it's the best, "Sabo began, watching everyone keep their eyes down. "We're going to find out why the navigator did what he did. Do what's best for Luffy's situation. When all this is settled, I will go to the headquarters of the revolutionaries and take him with me. "

"This ... is the end?" Usopp could not believe it.

"Luffy does not want this to be a farewell, or anything. He wants you to be there when he becomes the pirate king. So put it like a ... "

"It's just one goodbye. Do not be such whiners! The pack of straw hats is stronger than that! "Zoro shouted.

"Shut up, your marimo of shit! How can you even say that when you're crying ?! "Sanji grabbed his collar. "You want to fight, baka ?!"

Even with all the sadness of his old bones, Brook sang:

Binks No Sake

Yohohoho, yohohoho
Yohohoho, yohohoho
Yohohoho, yohohoho
Yohohoho, yohohoho

Binkusu no sake wo todoke ni yuku yo
Umikaze kimakase namimakase
Shio no mukou de yuuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa wo kaku tori no uta
Sayonara minato tsumugi no sato yo
Don to icchou utao funade no uta
Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete
Oretachya yuku zo umi no kagiri
