Let's go back one step in time.

The Straw Hat Pirates are now renowned within a certain area, openly challenging the World Government and defeating Sand Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai Crocodile.

His captain Monkey D. Luffy, has a bounty of over 100 million, which ranks among the top even among the Supernova.

Since entering the Grand Line, the group has experienced many adventures, but this morning they suddenly entered this place, the Florian Triangle, known as the Sea of Death.

"It was morning, but the thick fog gave it a chilling feel."

Onboard the Thousand Sunny, Zoro frowned as he looked at the fog over the surrounding sea.

"Have we entered that sea area? I'm not mentally prepared yet."

Feeling a little scared, Nami looked around and rubbed her arms.

"What sea area? Could it be Fish-Man Island?"

Usopp didn't realize what was happening and thought it was Fish-Man Island.

"No, before we pass Fish-Man Island, we have to pass through a ghostly realm."

Beside him, Franky's face was deathly pale, his expression one of horror.

"Gulp!"

Unable to contain themselves, Usopp and Chopper hugged each other, trembling.

"That's right, the mysterious sea area where everything mysteriously disappears, the Florian Triangle. It's said that this sea is full of ghosts, curses, and demons; any pirate who enters this sea area has vanished."

He moved closer menacingly, Franky's eyes widened suddenly, and he stuck out his tongue, which dangled out.

"Ah, a ghost!"

Two high-pitched screams rang out, and Usopp and Chopper were seen embracing each other, tears streaming down their faces, looking around in terror.

"Yo ho ho ho ho"

Just then, a song suddenly drifted from the silent sea, growing louder as it approached.

Amidst the surging waves, a massive shadowy vessel gradually drew near, shrouded in the thick fog.

Usopp

"Chopper!"

Upon hearing the song, Usopp and Chopper exchanged a glance, then looked in the same direction. Their eyes widened, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Hey! Hey! No way!"

Sanji lit a cigarette, his face trembling slightly as he watched the massive, dilapidated ship slowly approaching.

"It's a ghost ship! Luffy, let's run!"

Usopp and Chopper hugged Luffy, tears streaming down their faces.

Everyone gaped, their mouths agape.

What song is this?

"Don't listen, it's definitely a ghost's singing."

There are people on board.

"That is..."

"Skull!"

A chorus of screams pierced the sky, and what appeared before Nami and the others was an afro-haired skull staring at them in deathly silence.

A chill ran down Zoro's spine, and he instinctively gripped his weapon tighter.

"See that? See that? A singing skeleton."

With stars in his eyes, Luffy leaned on the railing, watching the ghost ship slowly disappear into the distance.

"I want to go to the ghost ship."

"Idiot, those are skeletons and ghosts."

Tears streamed down his face as Usopp slapped Luffy on Luffy head and pointed at him frantically.

"We'll draw lots to decide who Luffy."

However, Zoro, who was standing to the side, took out a lottery ticket, apparently having prepared it beforehand.

"Zoro, are you insane?!"

Chopper pulled the hat off his head, utterly terrified.

A few minutes later, in the restaurant of the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hat crew sat with their eyes all fixed on the skeleton at the head of the table, who was eating heartily.

"The skeleton really is a skeleton, a skeleton that eats!"

"The skull of the conversation."

"Why is a skeleton here?!"

Usopp and Chopper were sweating profusely, while Zoro's right hand remained on his weapon.

"I haven't had such delicious food in so long! Thank you so much!"

Tears streamed down his face as the skeleton ate and cried, deeply moved.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the skeleton stared at the others.

Suddenly, the skeleton stood up, alerting everyone.

"Two beautiful ladies, may I see your underwear?"

The skeleton walked up to Nami and Robin, its empty eyes staring intently at Nami Robin.

"Who wants to see you, you pervert!"

With each punch landing squarely, Nami suddenly erupted, slamming the skeleton to the ground with a single blow, leaving a steaming red bump on its head.

"Nana hit the skeleton."

"As expected, Nami is the most terrifying!"

The dramatic scene lightened the previously eerie atmosphere considerably.

"Hey! Be my partner, Skeleton!"

Luffy, who was chewing on a meat leg, extended an invitation without warning.

"Hehehe, good!"

The answer was straightforward; the skeleton stood up straight and decisively.

The entire restaurant fell silent instantly, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"No, Luffy, you idiot!"

Tears streamed down Nami's face as she kicked Luffy, feeling like her heart was about to stop.

"Cough cough"

Just then, the skeleton solemnly straightened his collar, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "Thank you all for your hospitality. My name is Brook. I apologize for my rudeness earlier. May I ask your honorable names?"

My name is Luffy.

"Franky."

"Usopp."

"Chopper."

"Zoro."

"Sanji."

"Robin."

"Nami."

"What exactly are you?" Sanji asked, smoking a cigarette as he circled Brook twice.

"Uh, I'm a skeleton, and I'm a user of the Revive-Revive Fruit)."

Brook took a sip of coffee and answered without hesitation.

"Devil Fruit?"

Robin closed the book, not particularly surprised; he had clearly already guessed it.

"Yes, beautiful lady, but may I admire your underwear?"

"No." With a slight smile, Robin politely declined.

That's a real shame.

Brook looked dejected, but quickly recovered and said, "Actually, I died decades ago. The so-called Revive-Revive Fruit (Revive-Revive Fruit) is about bringing the dead back to life; it has the incredible ability to give users a second life."

"A resurrected person?" Luffy's eyes sparkled.

"Does it mean you can bring someone back to life?"

"Yes, I was a pirate just like you when I was alive."

Usopp

Just as the two were talking, Chopper suddenly tugged at Usopp, looking utterly horrified.

"Chopper, what's wrong?" Usopp looked down at Chopper, puzzled.

He has no shadow.

With trembling hands, Chopper pointed to Brook's feet.

"Um, our shadows?"

Perhaps Chopper's voice was too loud and caught Brook's attention, who bluntly replied, "My shadow was taken by a man a few years ago."

"It was taken away?"

"A shadow?" Robin rested his chin on his hand, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, once the shadow is taken away, it means that one can no longer live in the sunlight."

"Why?"

"Without my shadow, my body would turn to ashes if the sunlight touched it."

With a broad smile, Brook smiled at everyone, and unconsciously, Luffy and the others fell silent, while the frightened Usopp and Chopper stopped trembling.

That smile is heartbreaking.

"Thank you for your hospitality, and thank you for your invitation, Luffy, but I still have to decline."

"Why?" Luffy was taken aback.

"Like mine just now, my shadow has been taken away. My body can no longer live in the sunlight. I can only live alone in this foggy sea forever. Perhaps I will commit suicide after being alone for too long!"

"A shadow, is it!"

Luffy slammed his hands on the table, Luffy up, and lowered his head.

"Luffy?"

Nami and the others had a bad feeling.

"I'll help you get your shadow back, then you can consider whether you want to be my partner!"

Luffy looked up, his face serious.

"Just as I thought."

Nami covered her forehead, looking utterly helpless.

"There's nothing we can do; he's our captain!"

Sanji sighed.
