Mumu fruit among pirates

Chapter 241 Chapter 240 The Stolen Shadow
240
Although he talked about the circumstances of his death at the beginning, it seems that this guy Brook doesn't feel sad about it at all.Maybe it was really because he had been dead for decades.

Ward is clear that this guy, Brook, doesn't seem to have much memory of his original partner, but in fact, this guy still can't forget the past time, and the friendship of the past partners is always unforgettable, but he is separated by life and death. That's all.

"... Normally speaking, in my situation, after death, as long as you return to your body in time, you should be able to revive immediately..." While eating and drinking, Brook analyzed his devil fruit ability in this way:

"However, it's a pity that, as you can see now, the area around here, that is, the sea area where we died was thick and foggy... It was the first time I awakened the Devil Fruit ability, and I was not familiar with it at all. It's time to find your body, and when you return to your ship, you will find that more than ten years have passed..."

"Beng Beng Beng..." Brook beat his own skeleton: "...When I find my body again, it will already look like this..."

"But your hair..." Although only the skeleton remains, Brook still has a thick afro at this time, and this is what he is most proud of.

"Hey, it's not bad...my hair is quite tenacious!" While saying this, Brook touched his afro with regret: "It's just because I'm dead... so these hairs should not Rebirth, every time I drop one, my heart will hurt for a long time!"

At this time, Nami, who had been sneaking around on tiptoe, suddenly took out a mirror and pointed it at Brooke: "Look at the trick!"

"Ah! Don't look in the mirror for me..." Brock really stretched out his hands to cover his face!Usopp and the others took the opportunity to look in front of the mirror: "What! This guy doesn't even have a shadow?! You still say you are not a ghost?!"

Brooke's image was not reflected in the mirror!This is not a phenomenon that can be explained by words like "skeleton"!
"Don't panic, don't panic... I said don't panic, don't panic!" At this time, Ward had to come out to save the scene: "But... Brook, you'd better explain why you don't have a shadow, right? !"

While saying this, Ward pointed to the shiny ground.

Not only is there no image left in the mirror, but now it seems that there are many secrets in Brooke's body! !
"Sucking..." Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Brook could still drink tea leisurely: "Let's talk about this...that's another story..."

Sure enough, it is indeed a skeleton that has lived for many, many years. This Brook speaks in a different way!Even Ward at this time gradually felt a little too procrastinated, and didn't really want to smooth things over for him here, and wished he could explain the cause and effect of the matter thoroughly.

However, although he has lived alone for decades, wandering alone on the sea for a long time, his own living conditions are different from normal people, and the pace is extremely slow... But it can still be seen that Brooke is trying his best to adapt to the new environment now. .

He finally explained: "...It's like this, I also forgot that it was the tenth year of wandering, about a few years ago, I encountered a huge ship that was too difficult to The imaginary ship...and my shadow is related to that ship—it was actually taken away!"

"What!?" Luffy became even more interested now, his eyes almost gleaming, wishing he could get down on the table when Brook applied and watched him finish the story.

Fortunately, Ward on one side shot in time, and the vines protruding from his hands and feet firmly fixed Luffy on his chair, and did not make his captain make any more outrageous actions.

"...That's right, it was taken away..." Speaking of this matter, Brook seemed to sigh sadly. "Because there is no shadow, as long as I am exposed to the sun for a short time, I will be wiped out..."

Shrugging his shoulders, Brooke continued: "That's why I continued to live in this sea of ​​mist as a last resort——I have seen it with my own eyes, the guy who was taken away from the shadow like me back then was wiped out by the sun." How long does it take to turn into dust that is hard to distinguish with the naked eye...Even if I have this devil fruit ability that can bring death back to life, if I really see the sun, I'm afraid I will die."

Shivering indistinctly, Brooke continued to pour tea on his body. "...That's why I can't leave the image in it, and why there is no shadow on my body."

"Huh-!" With a long breath, Brooke stretched his arms and stood up: "It's such a joy! It's been a long time since I've expressed my heart so directly, and I haven't been able to find someone to talk to like this before!! Don't look at me as such an existence ..."

Brook counted his ribs: "But I'm still afraid of death... Still, I'm afraid of being lonely."

"Hey hey hey..." Luffy laughed at this moment: "Isn't that why I invited you to join! You won't be lonely anymore!"

Ward and the others also nodded at the side, and Ward even said: "You can rest assured about our captain's promise, a devil fruit capable user like me, or..." Ward pointed to Franky who was sitting on the other side : "Or like this reformed person, our Pirates are always willing to come, and even the more the better!"

"Hahahaha..." After being stunned for a while, Brooke seemed to be amused by Ward's words: "Okay... Anyway, I should thank you for inviting me to join, I'm really happy... But, I'm afraid I still have to thank you for your kindness!"

"Anyway, actually having this encounter, I am very satisfied and happy! Now I don't dare to ask for more... I have already explained it just now, I have no way to continue On a normal sea surface, there is a way to survive in the sun—don’t look at me as a skeleton, I also love the sun before I lose my shadow, after all, my bones are strong!”

Brook would still make a small joke from time to time: "I can only continue to live in such a dark fog in this dense fog-this is also impossible, and you don't need such a partner!"

With a sound of "Slap!", Luffy slapped his palm on the table, causing the dishes and dishes next to him to fly wildly: "That's great!"
