In the steamy bathroom,

Moriah was enjoying a bath in the bathtub, with her face half covered with a towel and her head leaning on the pillow, thinking about life so as not to get lost on the road of life.

And on the other side,

The Straw Hat Pirates, led by Robin, returned to their pirate ship "Wanli Sunshine". At this time, the giant spider silk on the pirate ship had been untied by them, and even the door gate had automatically Open it, lest they destroy the ship's door with cannons and have to repair it again, which would be troublesome.

When the Straw Hats returned to the pirate ship, they found an afro-headed skeleton lying on the board of the ship, snoring and soundly sleeping with bubbles in the nose, leaving everyone watching with black lines on their foreheads.

Only Robin on the side was not too surprised. Instead, he seemed to have some realization. The corners of his mouth curved up into a smile, as if he had guessed the answer to a riddle and was naturally happy.

I'm fighting for you to death, but you're sleeping here?

what?

Maybe he was knocked unconscious?

I do not care!

boom~~

"Get up, why are you here?"

With fire in Usopp's eyes, he hit the afro-headed skeleton on the forehead with a mallet, bringing the two into close contact.

"Hey, is it you?"

The afro-headed skeleton Brook stood up straight with a big swollen bump on his upper body. His eyes were dark and hollow, with a horrifying skull face. He turned around and looked around as if he was still confused. When he saw the things around him clearly, It just dawned on me.

As for why skeletons can still have bumps on their heads?Who knows?Maybe there is a hole in his head?Hehehe~~But people really only have their imaginations left.

"Why are you here? Weren't you caught? And why is your shadow there? Did you take it back yourself?"

Nami was very doubtful about Brooke's presence here. According to what Moria told them, Brooke had been captured by him and was there as a prize.

"What? Shadow?"

As soon as Brooke heard "shadow", he jumped up instantly. After seeing the shadow of his body clearly, he bent his knees and raised his legs, lying on his back on the arch bridge, talking incoherently and shouting with joy.

"My shadow is back"

"This is my shadow, yes, it's exactly the same as my movements."

"Great, I finally got my shadow back."

"I can live under the sun"

"Rabu, I'm going to find you right now"

"Five years can end here."

"Rabu, our 50-year long agreement finally has the opportunity to come true."

"..."

When the Straw Hats heard Brook's incoherent words, they compared their feelings about his long, lonely and dry life of being trapped in the Devil's Sea for five years in the dark, wandering alone in the Devil's Triangle with only ghost ships around him. understanding and sympathetic.

After he finished venting his emotions and calmed down, Nami asked again, "Brooke, haven't you been arrested and taken back your shadow?"

"No, in fact, I don't know why the shadow came back automatically."

"I originally went to take back the shadow with the thought of death."

"The island is full of scary zombies and evil ghosts"

"I'm so scared"

"But you know, I'm a musician."

"Music can soothe the atmosphere. You can hum a song while walking among the zombies."

"at last,……"

"Please listen to the breakdown next time"

After the excitement calmed down, Brooke also recalled and recounted his previous "Operation to Recapture the Shadow" experience on the terrifying barque.

"Tell us clearly, you dead skeleton"

Everyone was listening to Brooke's reminiscences attentively, but when he said "Next time it will be decomposed", they choked on his conclusion and turned black. They all picked up weapons with blue veins and were ready to beat him up.

"Finally, I finally found my shadow host"

"That zombie, the dragon-slaying samurai of Wano - the swordsman Ryoma"

When Brooke saw the people surrounding him, holding all kinds of gleaming weapons and looking at him menacingly, his IQ immediately went up and he knew he had offended the public. He was afraid of being beaten, so he gave in instantly and continued.

"Dragon horse?"

When the Straw Hats heard the name "Ryoma", they couldn't help but look at Zoro among the sleeping three. Isn't this Zoro's opponent?

"Huh? Have you heard of this person too?"

"However, it's no wonder, this is a once very powerful samurai, a strong man who is regarded as the 'God of Swords' by the country of Wano."

"Such a strong man, although his soul is my shadow, his physical level and instincts are far above mine and cannot be compared to mine. There is no doubt that I was defeated again."

"I thought I was dead at the time, but I didn't expect that I was just knocked unconscious."

"I still don't understand how the shadow came back."

"Are you touched by my afro? That's great, yohohoho"

Brooke heard that the Straw Hats were surprised at the name "Ryuma" and didn't take it seriously. After all, this name was important enough to play an important role in the history of Haiyuan, so it was not surprising to know.

After he finished talking about his weird and bizarre experiences, he finally noticed the three "mummies" behind him, and he was shocked. "How did these three become like this? Did Mr. Luffy also become a 'zombie'?"

"Zombie you ghost, I think we know how your shadow came back"

Nami said with a sigh.

Everyone in the Straw Hats looked at me and I looked at you. They were also speechless about the outcome of the Brooke's Shadow incident. However, it was a good thing after all. In their opinion, Brooke's Shadow was taken back by accident.

"Eh? You know?"

"Well, of course, we had a 'Davy Back Fight' with the owner of this ship. Zoro defeated that samurai Ryoma, so your shadow returned to your feet," Usopp said proudly said.

"What? That's it. So the wounds all over Zoro's body are from the battle with the swordsman Ryoma. You are such a great benefactor. You are really unforgettable."

After hearing Usopp's explanation, Brooke understood who was responsible for his long-cherished wish. Although there was no gratitude on the skull's face, he shed tears for no reason and solemnly knelt down before them.

None of the Straw Hats are people who take advantage of favors, and Lian Lian waved his hands to show that he doesn't care about grudges. Even Nami, who loves money, doesn't feel comfortable seeing the skeletons in front of her whose clothes have not been changed after 50 years of wear. If the bones are squeezed dry, there will be oil and water.

After Brooke helped carry the injured into their dormitory, the group also went to the restaurant to gather and discuss. Brooke admired them very much because of the shadow incident and said,

"Faced with the extremely powerful Shichibukai, I didn't expect you to be able to win the 'Davy Back Fight' and escape unscathed. It's so strong!"

"No, the 'Davy Back Fight' actually meant that we lost, and we were able to come back because the other party let us go. As for the reason why you are here, I think..."

Robin was drinking coffee beside him, denying Brooke's conclusion, and combining his speculation with reality to explain the doubts that others had.
