"Is this the thousand-year bone??"
Crocus took the bone from Reno's hand and adjusted his glasses.
"This old man has only read about its legends in books. I never expected it to be real."
He carefully examined it, then shook his head with a wry smile:
"Unfortunately, this old man doesn't know much about it."
"If you really want to know, this old man can recommend someone to you."
"She is someone whose medical skills and experience are far superior to mine."
"She should know about the thousand-year bone."
"She was active on Drum Island for a period of time. Now, this old man is not so clear."
"If you really want to investigate this thousand-year bone, you can go to Drum Island to find her."
As soon as Crocus finished speaking, Reno fell into deep thought.
Drum Island?
Witch?
Reno generally knew who he was talking about.
If he guessed correctly, it should be Chopper's Dr. Kureha.
A doctor with extremely high medical skills but an eccentric personality.
Although her age was almost twice that of Whitebeard, she was still full of vitality.
After everyone understood everything they wanted to know.
They decided to start the banquet.
However, just then, Laboon let out a roar.
The next second, he began to continuously ram the Red Line.
"What is Laboon doing??"
Looking at the injury on Laboon's forehead, Nami felt a pang of heartache.
Crocus quickly stepped forward and injected Laboon with a sedative. Only then did Laboon slowly calm down.
Although he no longer moved, he still let out long wails, and his voice sounded very sorrowful.
"Laboon is calling his companions."
Noticing everyone's confusion, Crocus explained.
So he then told everyone the story of Laboon and a former Pirate Crew.
"So that's how it is."
Everyone suddenly understood.
They hadn't expected such an unknown story to be behind Laboon.
"Those guys, I think they were called the Rumbar Pirates, right?"
Reno said, pretending not to be too sure.
"You know that too?"
Reno's words caught Crocus's attention.
Knowing his identity was already surprising enough, he didn't expect this young man to even know about the Rumbar Pirates.
"Roar—"
Not only him, but Laboon also looked at Reno when he heard that term.
Reno then recounted the information about the Rumbar Pirates to everyone.
After Laboon learned the whole story, he realized that his companions had not abandoned him, but had been unable to find him because they had met with disaster. He was immediately moved to tears.
"The truth of the matter is actually like this—"
Crocus exclaimed, as he himself didn't know these things.
"Don't worry, if we encounter other Rumbar Pirates members in the future, we will tell them about Laboon."
Reno said with a smile.
"Then... that would truly be too kind—"
"Ang."
Even Laboon let out low roars, expressing his gratitude.
