Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

"Yohoho, ok."

Both parties had no objection and soon returned to the restaurant of the Kuroko Pirates together.

Deuce looked at Brooke in bewilderment, but seeing that they looked normal, he greeted them:

"Let's sit down and talk."

"Everyone, you're welcome. Are you having dinner? I want to eat with you too."

Seeing the dishes on the table that had not been cleared away, Brooke sat down and spoke.

"Meow~"

Kodaz ran up to him, sniffed, looked at Skarr, and ran back to Jerry's feet.

Seeing Kodaz running away, Brooke didn't care and found a napkin to wrap around his neck.

"I haven't seen a cat for a long time, but I still want to eat something first."

"You're really rude."

Kalina complained, but turned around and went to get some fresh food.

Looking down at the rice and other food in front of him, Brooke said with emotion:

"Rice! I haven't eaten such proper food in decades."

"I have been living a life of extreme hunger, and my stomach has become flat even though I don't have a belly, yo ho ho ho."

"Oh haha! Brooke you are so funny."

"How about you join us? Boss Jerry! Is that okay? Let him come with us."

Skar's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to make an invitation, but he knew that he had to ask Jerry's opinion on this matter.

Seeing Scar's eager eyes, Jerry did not object and nodded:

"That's fine with me, as long as Brooke agrees."

"Oh, I can."

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Brooke agreed without thinking.

"Great!"

"Eh!?"

"All right……"

Skarl and Jerry invited her so easily, and Brooke agreed so readily that Deuce and Kalina were surprised.

Seeing that Carrot had no objection, Ace didn't say anything either. After remembering Jerry's ability of observation, they didn't say anything more.

"By the way, Brooke, tell me about your situation? What's going on with you now?"

After the food was served again, Jerry started eating again and asked directly. Even though he had a general understanding, he still wanted to get clarification.

Ace rarely raised his head from the pile of food, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Hearing this, Brook, who was quickly finishing the food in front of him, started talking while eating.

"Me? It's because I ate the Yomiuri Fruit. Actually... I died once several decades ago."

"What about you now? Um...can you elaborate?"

At this time, Deus was no longer afraid. He took out a notebook and wanted Brook to tell him in detail.

"No problem. I used to be a pirate, and with my friends... this and that."

"Later, we came to this devilish sea area and encountered a powerful enemy, and our entire army was wiped out."

"Of course, I died too. After that, I felt the ability of the fruit which normally only prevented me from swimming but had no other effect."

"It allows my soul to be preserved and return to the world freely."

"Originally, I could have resurrected by returning and immediately attaching myself to my own body, but, because of the thick fog in this sea area, I got lost."

"After my soul had been wandering for a year, I finally found my body, which had decayed to the point where only bones remained."

"I was so scared that I got goosebumps, even though I had no skin, yohoho."

After so much time had passed, Brooke could now calmly talk about what had happened before.

"Yeah, then why do you have an afro? Bones are usually bald."

"I have thick hair and strong roots."

"All right……"

Deus, who had thought there might be some secret story, blinked and was a little speechless.

After listening to his story, Kalina breathed a sigh of relief and added:

"So you're not some ghost?"

"Of course not, I'm afraid of those things too, yohoho."

"Eh? Then, why don't you have a shadow?"

"Wow!"

After hearing Kalina's words, Deuce noticed these supernatural problems, and then found that Brook had no shadow. He and Kalina screamed again and took a few steps back.

Under the light in the house, Ace and the others saw that there was indeed no shadow under Brook, but they were just a little confused and still sat calmly in their seats.

Glancing at the skeleton's feet and under its arms, Jerry smiled but said nothing.

"Oh, no, that's something else."

Shaking her hands, Brooke hastily denied and began to explain.

"That was a few years ago. My rudder had been damaged, so I could only drift around on the sea as usual."

"Then, I accidentally entered the Ghost Island, where my shadow was taken away by a fat man."

"Take it away!?"

Deuce sat up straight, and he seemed to want to record more of this strange thing.

Skarr next to him seemed to be thinking about something. After all, his intelligence network was not fake. He asked tentatively:

"If it takes away the shadow, it seems there is such a devil fruit."

"Eh? Skeleton brother, do you know this too?"

Brook, who was still thinking about what to say, was attracted by Scar's words and said in surprise.

"Oh haha! Don't look at me like that, I'm an intelligence expert!"

Skarr put his hands on his hips and continued proudly:

"You must have met Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, right?"

"Ah, yes, that man can pull out other people's shadows and cut them off."

Nodding, Brook continued:

"Moreover, those whose shadows he has taken away cannot continue to live under the sunlight. If exposed to the sunlight, they will disappear without a trace."

"I have personally seen people get sunburned and disappear right before my eyes."

"It was horrible, and frightened me to the core, though I have no heart or flesh left."

Stopping his writing, Deus said solemnly:

"That is to say, even if you don't want to now, you still have to float in this foggy sea to avoid getting sunburned."

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, Brook looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Yes, so I am a lonely little bone that has been repelled by the sun and the sea, and has lost my companions."

"I am so happy today to meet so many people who I can talk to."

"Of course, there are also beauties. It would be even better if I could admire their underwear."

However, Kalina was not fooled and simply refused with a roar.

"Stop it! You filthy bastard!"

Everyone was still watching the two bickering with a smile, but suddenly they heard Brooke's turn of events.

"I have been drifting alone for decades in this sea where I don't know whether it is day or night. Ghost ships appear from time to time. I feel really lonely and scared."

“Sometimes, I really want to jump into the sea, but life is not just about the present, there is also poetry and the distance.”

"For me, I am very happy to meet you and talk so much with you."

"If I hadn't lost my eyeballs, I might have been crying for joy right now."

"Yohoho, I really want to accept your invitation, but I still have to reject it cruelly."

Upon hearing this, Scarl was the first to jump out and was the most excited. He didn't understand why he wanted to refuse again.

"Why? You clearly promised us."

"Ah, that's because I don't have a shadow and can't leave. Besides, I've been training and getting stronger in recent years, wanting to get my shadow back."

"Oh haha, then why don't we help you get it back?"

Looking around, seeing that everyone had no objection to Scarr's words and nodded with a smile, Brooke said slowly with gratitude:

"No, you are all good people, so I can't let you take risks for me."

"Since you know he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you should understand how powerful he is..."

But before he could finish, Skarr interrupted him and turned to look at Jerry.

"Boss Jerry, is this okay?"

"Haha, don't worry, Brooke, he's just a fat otaku. We'll help you."

Jerry and Ace smiled at each other and said that they did have some understanding of this seriously degraded Shichibukai.
