Chapter 348 The terrifying three-masted sailboat

"The Skeleton still has an afro." Zoro complained.

"My hair roots are very strong." Brooke said, pulling his hair.

"Whatever." Zoro complained.

"So you're not a monster?" Usopp and Chopper approached Brook with a cross. "Then are you a human? No, you can't say you're a human either. Anyway, you're not a monster, right?"

"Oh, I'm most afraid of monsters." Brooke said, "If I see a monster, I will cry and scream."

"Are you most afraid of monsters? Have you ever looked in a mirror?" Nami held up a mirror in front of Brook.

"No." Brooke shouted in panic, "Please don't point the mirror at me."

"What, what happened?" Usopp leaned over to take a look and exclaimed, "Wait, wait..."

"You..." Chopper also looked at the mirror in surprise.

"Why can't I see you in the mirror?" Usopp shouted.

"Hey!!"

"Vampire?" Everyone on the boat became alert.

"Really? That's amazing." Luffy's eyes popped out.

"Look carefully, you don't even have a shadow." Usopp pointed at Brook.

"Wow, seriously, what are you actually?" Chopper exclaimed.

Brooke sat down gracefully, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea.

"Is this the time to calm down?" Sanji slammed the table and growled with his fangs.

"I, we were scared because of you." said Usopp.

"It's hard to describe everything in one sentence." Brooke said, "I have been drifting in this sea for too long. My transformation into a skeleton and my lack of a shadow are two completely different things... I will explain it next time."

"Go on now!" Sanji growled with his fangs.

"My shadow was taken away by a man a few years ago," Brooke said.

"Taken away?"

"shadow?"

Everyone looked at Brooke.

"Since you can telekinetically speak, nothing can surprise me now." Zoro said, "But can you really do such a thing?"

"Yes," Brooke said, "and once the shadow is taken away, it means you can no longer live in a place with light."

"But aren't you alive?" Luffy asked.

"No, I won't survive if I'm exposed to sunlight," Brooke said. "Now I'm in this foggy sea, and I'm finally alive by avoiding the sunlight."

"What would happen if the sun hit you?" Robin asked.

"Once exposed to direct sunlight, my body will turn into ashes," Brooke said.

"Reduced to ashes?" everyone was shocked.

Brook then recounted his experience and explained why he couldn't see himself in the mirror.

Those whose shadows are taken away are rejected by the light.

"Your life is so miserable." Sanji said.

"Even so, I still survived tenaciously." Brook said optimistically, "I am a pile of bones, but I am still alive tenaciously. I am dead, and only bones are left, Brook. Please give me more advice."

"Why are you so cheerful..." Sanji complained.

"Yo roo roo..." Brook laughed happily.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Usopp held up the cross, thinking Brook was having a seizure.

"Today is a good day. I met someone." Brooke had obviously been alone for too long. "In the dark sea shrouded by thick fog and unknown time..."

Brook can only live alone by recalling the past.

If it were an ordinary person, he would not be able to endure it.

"All my companions are dead. I am alone guarding a large ship with a broken rudder. It has been drifting like this for decades. I feel really lonely." Brooke stopped his excitement and said sadly, "I feel lonely and scared. I really want to die..."

"But longevity is good. People can bring joy. To me, you are my joy."

“Yo hoo hoo…”

"If I still had tears, I would definitely cry for joy right now."

Brook said and looked towards Luffy.

"You just invited me to join you, right? I'm really happy. Thank you very much."

Luffy smiled.

"But actually I have to refuse." Brooke said.

"Ah? Why?" Luffy shouted.

"Like I said just now, my shadow was taken away, and my body can't live in the sun. Here, the magic sea with thick fog blocking the sun protects me, but even if I leave this sea with you, my body will turn to ashes sooner or later." Brook said, "I decided to stay and wait for the miraculous day when I can get my shadow back, yohohoho..."

"What are you talking about? You're so polite." Luffy slammed the table and said, "If you need Shadow, I'll go get it back for you. Didn't you say someone took it away? Who was it and where is he?"

"You are such a nice person, I am really shocked." Brooke played a nice guy card on the spot, "But I can't tell you, how can I let you who I just met not long ago die for me?"

"Is the enemy too strong?" Franky asked. "It won't hurt to tell me the name, can you?"

"No, I can't tell you." Brooke said, "In fact, I don't know where he is. I don't know if I can see him again before my second life ends. If I can see him again, I have decided to fight to the death."

"By the way, let me sing a song for everyone," said Brooke.

As he said this, he took out a violin from the case on the side.

"I'm good at playing musical instruments. I used to be a musician on a pirate ship," said Brook.

"Ah? Really? Are you a musician? Please, just join us, bastard!" Luffy said with stars in his eyes. He had long wanted to find a musician as a companion.

"Haha, let's sing a happy barcarolle," said Brooke.

"We also have our own song, Farewell..." Hanhan interrupted, suddenly looking at Brooke.

"Crack, crack, no!" Brooke suddenly froze, screaming and falling to the ground in fear.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Sanji asked.

"You, you, ghost..." Brook said in panic.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a white ghost passing through the wall.

"What is that?!" Chopper shouted.

"Go away, evil spirits. Go away, evil spirits..." Usopp began to chant.

"How scary, is it a monster?" Chopper shouted.

"Great." Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, it ran away." Nami shouted.

"Wow..."

The whole ship shook.

"Why is it shaking?" Zoro asked puzzledly.

"Could it be..." Brooke ran out of the cabin, "How could this happen? Has this ship been monitored? Look, there is no way forward. The vibration just now was caused by this."

"What is this?" Everyone came out of the cabin and asked in shock.

"We won't be eaten by sea monsters, right?" Usopp asked.

"What's going on?" asked Zoro.

"This is inside the door," Brooke said.

"Door?" Luffy asked.

"So, let's go check out the back of the ship." Brooke ran to the stern.

"What's going on?" Nami asked as everyone followed.

"Did you pick up a streamer from the sea?" Brook looked at Luffy and asked.

"We picked it up." Luffy replied.

"Sure enough," Brooke said, "it was a trap. The ship has been targeted since then."

"What does it mean to be targeted?" Luffy asked, "This ship has been parked here safely."

Before he could finish his words, Luffy saw a piece of land that looked like a ruined town appear at the stern of the ship, shrouded in fog.

"Why is there an island there?" Luffy asked.

"This is the ghost island wandering on the sea, the terrifying three-masted sailing ship." Brook said.

Everyone looked serious.

"The Thriller Bark..." Luffy repeated.

"Wait a moment, the recording pointer has no response at all." Nami said, looking at the recording pointer on her wrist.

"Of course, because this island comes from the far west sea," said Brooke.

"West Sea?" Nami asked.

"Yeah." Brooke walked towards the cabin.

"Hey, where are you going?" Sanji asked.

"But today is such a lucky day." Brooke picked up his cane knife, "Not only did I meet someone, but even my long-cherished wish was fulfilled."

Luffy took the lead and chased after him, only to see Brook laugh and jump up.

"What a light body." Sanji said in surprise.

"That's right. It's very light because it's just a pile of bones." Brooke turned around at the bow and said, "You should destroy the door at the back and escape from here immediately. You must not drop anchor on the shore."

"I am very happy to meet you today. I will never forget such a delicious dinner. Let's meet again at sea."

Brooke said and jumped off the boat.
