Unexpected Visit

Uzui swear that he could hear Suma screams at the top of her lungs about something. He ignores the scream. It doesn't sound too serious. She probably mess something up and right now is panicking. He's sure that if he approach her, she'll become more nervous.

He let her handle it by her own. She needs to learn on how to take care of the mess she'd made by herself. After all, Uzui is not always going to be there for her. Uzui is just chilling in the living room, all alone. 

He's enjoying his retirement after he survived the chaotic incident back in Entertainment District. He's grateful that his left arm is saved by Law. Because of Law did the impossible, and that is attaching his arm like it was nothing.

He also loses an eye, but Law took care of it. He didn't know how did Law do it, but he's thankful that he could use both of his hands and could see normally. Although his left eye is a bit different than before. 

He could actually see much better in his left eye when the night comes. He didn't understand how's that possible. In midnight, everything seems to be much clear. Even in complete darkness, he could still see clearly on his left eye. 

When he asked Law what did he do, Law said that his left eye almost cannot be saved. His eye's rod are damaged. Law explained that he uses tapetum lucidum from a wolf's eye to repair his. Surely he's kidding, right?

Uzui didn't know what he would do with his retirement. Maybe he would spend the rest of his lives with his wives until the day he die, probably. This is what he tried so hard to accomplish all of this time, and he finally reached it.

He never thought that he would make out of it with all of his limbs still attached. He watch the outside weather through the window. He'd reach the end of the line for him as a Hashira. Happy retirement for him. 

*Creak*

*Foosh*

A breeze flows through, Uzui could hear a footstep. It wasn't Hinatsuru, Makio or Suma. It's different. Uzui could feel that there's a familiar presence behind him. A tall skeletal figure stand right behind him, reaching the ceiling of the house.

"Took you long enough." Uzui smirks. He could recognize the figure without even needing to look at him. A good friend came in for unexpected visit.

"You were expecting Hinatsuru  but it was me, Brook!" Brooks smiled while pointing at himself. Uzui just shakes his head. Brook could be quite goofy sometimes.

"I'm sorry for this untold visit. I hope I don't bother you." Brook apologizes first for visiting without any consent.

"No, it's okay. You didn't bother anyone at all." Uzui insisted that it's okay. It's not that Brook is going to trouble anyone, right?

"Besides, we had a lot to catch up." They didn't have a chance to talk a lot last night because some guy asked a rather personal question that ruins the mood. Uzui is close with Rengoku, but Brook is also one of his close friends.

"Anyway, did you already have your lunch?" Brook ask if Uzui had eaten his lunch since it's afternoon. 

"Not yet. Why do you ask?" Uzui replied that he didn't have his lunch yet.

"I brought you something." Brook takes out a bento box. Uzui tilted his head. 

"What is it?" Uzui stated. Brook didn't say anything. He just gave the bento box to Uzui instead of answering his question. Uzui pry open the bento box. 

"It's your favorite, right?" Brook is guaranteed that Uzui will like it. Uzui smiled. It is one of his favorite dish, globefish sashimi. 

"Oh, thank you! I appreciate this flashy meal. Do you know how hard it is to find someone that make globefish sashimi? It's been a while since I ate it!" Uzui is happy that he gets to eat one of his favorite meal for lunch.

"You're welcome, Uzui-san. Please, help yourself." Brook offered. Without any hesitation, Uzui took a slice of sashimi and put it inside his mouth.

"You're not going to eat with me?" Uzui offered the sashimi to Brook.

"I'm afraid I'm not going to eat with you. You see, I have eaten already." Brook politely reject Uzui's offer. He brought this for Uzui. He does not want to bother Uzui.

"Then would you like some tea, perhaps?" Uzui offered Brook a tea. Uzui can't let his guest sit and watch him eat.

"Yes, I would like that." Brook accepted the offer. 

"Then, I'll inform Hinatsuru." Uzui wanted to inform his wives that they get a guest. 

"You don't have any maids taking care of the mansion?" Brook ask. Since he set foot in the mansion, he didn't see anyone else except Uzui and his wives.

"No, I prefer it to be like that." Uzui just wanted to enjoy his retirement with his wives and nothing more than that. It's his dream.

"Do yo-

"Tengen-sama!!!" A feminine voice shouted for Uzui. It seems that the voice is on the verge of crying. It immediately grabbed their attention.

*Fwoop*

"Tengen-sama!" Suma open the shoji and immediately cry as she sees Uzui. She was relieved. Uzui is seems to be used with Suma always crying, but what makes him more curious is why Suma is carrying Makio on her back her mouth is frothing with bubbles. She's unconscious. 

"What is it, Suma?" Uzui inquire on why are Suma is crying while carrying Makio on her back.

"Th-there's a ghost in this mansion!!" She claimed that there is a ghost living in this mansion and it is haunting them. They just recently moved here, and the ghost seems to not like them here!

"The ghost said it want to speak to you!" The ghost asked if he could meet Uzui earlier.

"Hurry Tengen-sama! Let's move out from here! Let's search for a better mansion instead! I don't want to get cursed by a ghost!!" Suma prompted her husband to move out as soon as possible.

Then, something else caught her eyes. She see a tall skeletal figure, sitting beside Uzui with its height reaching the ceiling. She is stunned. The ghost is sitting next to Uzui. The ghost waved at her.

"Ah, it seems you've met my friend. Meet Brook, a friend of mine." Uzui introduces Brook to Suma while she seems to be confused as hell.

"Yo-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!!"
