Chapter 83 west Yan's Helplessness: Another Awkward Guy
Seeing Sanji get beaten up by Nami, everyone burst out laughing. This guy is still the same as ever.
"Hmph, just as I thought, a perverted kappa." Zoro said disdainfully.
"What do you know, you green algae-headed baboon?!"
"Anyway, I'm better than you, you perverted kappa."
"You bastard, do you want to fight?!"
Sanji, fully recovered, sprang up and head-on clashed with Zoro, starting a head-on bullfight.
"Hehehe, you two have such a good relationship," Brooke said with a chuckle.
"Who's close to him?!" X2
"Don't mimic me!" x2
"Hmph!" X2
"Don't worry about them," west Yan said with a smile. "This is their daily routine; you'll get used to it."
Ever since joining the Straw Hat Pirates, he's discovered that these two can't stand not fighting every day.
Although the reasons for fighting are varied and strange, they all eventually boil down to a few sentences.
"Yohohoho, that's really interesting."
"The powers of Devil Fruits are truly bizarre," Franky said, stroking his chin. "They can not only revive people, but also make skeletons grow hair."
"Ah, this hair isn't because of a Devil Fruit," Brook said, grabbing a handful of his hair. "It's just the afro I've always had."
"After death, the body turned into a skeleton, but the hair was preserved?"
"It's strange, but it's true," Brooke laughed. "It's probably because my hair roots are quite strong; even if I become a skeleton, my hair won't disappear."
"Yohohoho~"
"Is this something that can be explained by hair roots...?" Nami retorted.
Even if a normal person's hair is left after their body turns into a skeleton, it wouldn't be preserved so perfectly.
This guy is clearly not normal.
"At least my hair was saved," Brooke said. "That's something to be thankful for."
He's now a skeleton, and if he loses even his most iconic afro, he won't be able to recognize Laboon.
So he was very grateful that he was able to be resurrected with his hair.
"Your hair is quite unique."
"Yo ho ho ho, like hair that's been hit by a bomb, an afro!" Brooke stood up and raised his hands.
"oh!"
"Afro!"
Watching Luffy fooling around with Brook, Nami helplessly rubbed her forehead. He was acting just like a child.
"Haha, Brooke is really funny."
Sitting on the stool, Mary swung her legs, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at Brooke, finding him very interesting.
"Yohohoho, you're so cute too~"
After being praised by Brooke, Mary became a little embarrassed.
"Um?"
As west Yan leaned against the wall, he suddenly noticed a detail: why was there no reflection of Brooke on the restaurant's special glass water tank?
"Hey, Brooke."
"What's wrong?"
"Why don't you have a reflection?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Then, following west Yan's finger, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"Really, he really doesn't have a reflection!"
The glass reflected the images of all the Straw Hat Pirates, but Brook was not among them, as if he didn't exist at all.
This astonishing discovery startled Usopp so much that he jumped up.
"Hey, you're not a vampire, are you?!" Usopp exclaimed in horror. "If you look closely..."
You don't even have a shadow!
"What?"
"So it wasn't because of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), but because you turned into a vampire?!"
Usopp and Chopper immediately huddled together, trembling as they picked up an exorcism tool and aimed it at Brook.
"There's no shadow? That's amazing!" Luffy exclaimed in shock.
"Isn't there something wrong with what's making you so surprised...?"
"Everyone, please don't get agitated." Brooke pulled out a chair, sat down again, and said, "This is a long story."
As he spoke, Brooke picked up a glass of water from the table, took a sip, and his expression was... somewhat content?
Although I don't know why, that's just the feeling this skull face gives off.
"Hey, aren't you being a little too calm?!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "Give me a proper explanation, you bastard!"
If this bastard dares to deceive them, they wouldn't mind beating him up; after all, he's already had his fill.
"Yo ho ho ho, that's really strict."
After chuckling, Brooke said seriously, "Actually, turning into a skeleton and not having a shadow are two completely different things..."
Usopp watched Brook nervously, afraid that the guy would admit he was a vampire.
"To find out what happens next, please stay tuned for the next episode."
"Tell me now, you bastard!"
Nami slammed a wine glass at Brook's head, giving him another big bump.
"Oh ho ho ho, you're really feisty."
"Huh? How can this guy grow a lump?" Usopp exclaimed in shock.
"Really!"
Chopper was dumbfounded when he saw the huge bump growing on the other person's afro. Could a skeletal creature grow flesh?
At that moment, Chopper, as a doctor, felt his worldview being shaken.
"We'll talk about the long bag later. Tell me quickly how you lost your shadow," Sanji urged.
"Ah, it's all because of a man," Brooke said. "Years ago, he stole my shadow."
"Huh?!"
"Is this even possible?!"
"Even a skeleton like him can move, so it wouldn't surprise me if his shadow was stolen," Zoro said. "It's the power of a Devil Fruit, isn't it?" Nico Robin added.
Only Devil Fruit users can do something like that.
"Yes, it's the power of a Devil Fruit." Brook put down his tea and said in a heavy tone, "The other party used powerful Devil Fruit power to strip me of my shadow, which also deprived me of the ability to live in the sunlight."
"But you're still alive, aren't you?"
"That's because I haven't been exposed to sunlight," Brooke said seriously. "If I were exposed to sunlight, I would die."
"Sunshine..." west Yan thought for a moment and said, "I think I understand what you mean."
He knew several people who played with shadows, and having read some information about the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, he had some more guesses.
I wonder how this ability to manipulate shadows compares to the Shadow Imitation Technique.
"What do you mean?"
Luffy looked at Xiyan in confusion, wondering why he didn't understand at all.
"An object blocks the straight-line propagation of light, preventing it from reaching the target area, thus creating a shadow," west Yan explained. "And without a shadow, the light appears to pass directly through your body."
Simply put... it's like you don't exist!
"This rule could potentially lead to your disappearance, am I right?" west Yan said the last sentence while looking at Brooke.
"This gentleman is quite clever," Brooke said with a smile. "Indeed."
"Just as I cannot reflect my own image in glass, I cannot block out light."
"If I am exposed to direct sunlight, my body will be burned and eventually turn to ashes."
"This is the price of being rejected by the sun!"
"So now I've not only lost all my companions, but I'm also a skeleton rejected by the sunlight!!"
"You're so pitiful."
:
Even so, I survived! Hooray!
Brooke was laughing heartily, as if that could dispel the pain in his heart.
This scene made Little Mermaid's eyes redden with annoyance.
"Poor skeleton..."
"Oh ho ho ho, what a kind little girl," Brooke said with a gentlemanly bow.
"But don't worry, I'm really happy today!"
"Yohohoho!"
Looking at Brooke's overly optimistic demeanor, no one could manage a smile.
"For decades, I've drifted alone on the sea, reminiscing about the past in solitude." Brooke suddenly lowered his head and said, "Without sails and the cabin destroyed, I can only drift with the current."
"I...I'm so lonely!"
"If it weren't for my deep-seated obsession, I probably would have died long ago."
"But... it's truly amazing to have lived this long, and it's so wonderful to have met you all!"
"Yohohoho~"
"If I could still shed tears, I would definitely cry tears of joy!"
"Yohohoho~"
This time, although Brooke was laughing, everyone could tell that he was crying.
It's just that because the other party is just a skeleton, they can't shed a single tear.
"Please don't be sad, everyone. I'm already very happy to have met you all." After Brook finished speaking, he turned to Luffy and continued, "Mr. Luffy, you just invited me to join the Straw Hat Pirates, right?"
"yes."
"Thank you, I'm really happy, very happy!"
He was genuinely happy that Luffy treated him sincerely and didn't look at him, a moving skeleton, with strange eyes.
But precisely because of this, he cannot betray the other party.
Thinking this through, Brook said seriously, "Mr. Luffy, I'm glad you invited me, but... please forgive me for declining!"
"Huh?!"
"Why?"
Luffy was dumbfounded. Hadn't he just agreed? Why did he suddenly refuse?
"Didn't I just say that my shadow has already been taken away?" Brooke explained. "Even if I leave with you, I'll be killed by the sun sooner or later."
"So I plan to stay here, waiting for the day I meet that man again and reclaim my shadow!"
At this point, Brooke paused for a moment, then said, "If I could have met you back then..."
If you're willing to accept what I've said, then I'll join:
"
"What are you talking about?!" Luffy slammed his hand on the table and stood up, interrupting, "Why are you being so formal? Aren't we already comrades?!"
"Didn't you say someone stole your shadow? Tell me where it is, and I'll get it back for you!!"
Brook was stunned when he saw Luffy's serious expression. He hadn't expected the other man to say something like that.
They've only just met, and Mr. Luffy is already willing to pick out such a terrifying person for him.
At that moment, Brook felt Luffy's unique personal charm!
"Mr. Luffy, you really are a good person." Brook raised his hand and clutched his chest, saying, "If I still had a heart, it would be pounding wildly right now."
"But... Mr. Luffy, please forgive me for not being able to tell you, I cannot drag you into the abyss as well."
Someone like him is enough on his own; Mr. Luffy and his crew clearly deserve a brighter future.
He couldn't be so selfish as to ask his partner for help.
"Is it because you're good at using people?" west Yan raised an eyebrow.
From the moment Luffy uttered those words, he knew Luffy wouldn't give up. This guy is a stubborn mule; once he sets his mind on something, he'll never turn back.
Given the chance, he would definitely choose to help Brook reclaim his shadow!
Therefore, he needs to know more information, which will be beneficial for his next steps.
No, I can't say.
"Can't I even say my name?"
"Yo-ho-ho-ho, I know you guys are good people, please don't risk your lives for me," Brooke said. "Besides, I don't know where he is, and whether I'll ever meet Tanuki in my lifetime is a question."
"Why..
west Yan sighed, turned to look at Nico Robin beside him, and said, "Another awkward guy."
"
The mature woman simply smiled and didn't say anything.
Are there not enough awkward guys like them, Straw Hat Pirates?
"Hehehe, let's not talk about that anymore." Brooke smiled and said, "It's rare for us to be so happy today, so I'll sing a song for everyone."
"Wow, you can actually sing?"
"I'm a musician, you know, and I'm very good at playing island instruments~"
"What?! You're a musician?!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly. "Then you absolutely have to join us, you bastard!!"
He had wanted a musician as a partner for a long time, and now that he had finally found one, how could he let it go?
"Yohohoho, let's not talk about that. Let me play a piece for everyone first..."
Before Brooke could finish speaking, he froze on the spot, and then his body began to tremble.
It was as if I had seen something extremely terrifying.
"What's wrong with you?"
"A ghost...a phantom!!"
Brook was terrified when he saw the ghost emerge from the wall.
The ghost, controlled by Perona, grinned as it emerged from the wall and hovered in the air, staring down at the people below.
Now that this ship has already been swallowed up by their terrifying San Gui sailing ships, there's no need to keep eavesdropping. Just come out and scare them!
This is one of the things she enjoys doing!
"ah!!"
"A ghost!!"
"Wow...that's amazing!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.
"Is it a ship spirit?"
"This raccoon doesn't look like a ship spirit at all... ::::" west Yan said warily, looking up at the high place. "But do ghosts really exist in this world?"
"Could it be another Devil Fruit user?"
After hearing Brook's account of those events, west Yan felt that the existence of Devil Fruits like Ghost was not impossible.
After hearing west Yan's words, the ghost on the mountain gave him a distinct look, then left without saying a word.
This change startled west Yan for a moment, then he narrowed his eyes and said, "Such a humane look."
Could this really be a Devil Fruit user?
"Boom!"
As the voices parted, the Thousand Sunny suddenly shook, immediately eliciting gasps of alarm.
"What...what's wrong now?!"
"I don't know, could it be an earthquake?"
"Idiot, we're at sea, how could there be an earthquake!"
"Damn it, could it be...:"
Brooke's expression changed, and he immediately ran outside. When he saw clearly where he was...
The person was completely stunned.
The familiar sight immediately made Brook realize that he had once again arrived in Moonlight Moria's territory!
