Pokemon Trainer of the Strawhats

Dead Bones Brook

"Yohohoho! How do you do, everyone? I'm afraid that, while travelling, my ship ran into quite a bit of trouble! I am 'Dead Bones' Brook! It's a pleasure to meet you!"

Apparently, the appearance of a talking skeleton was enough for even Zoro to put aside his suspicion.

"What the hell? What is this guy?" Franky, Zoro, Usopp and Chopper yelled, Usopp and Chopper holding up crosses in front of them.

Zoro growls at Nami and Sanji, “The point of you guys going with Luffy is so he doesn't do anything stupid!”

“We’re… ashamed,” Nami and Sanji admit in defeat as Luffy just laughs.

        Brook immediately asks Robin if he could see her panties only for him to get hit by Sanji and Nami. And when Brook spotted Yukiko, Nami hits him in the head.

"You don't want to ask her. She has powerful creatures protecting her." Nami said.

"Plus, she's the Captain's girl. Meaning she's off limits." Sanji added.

"Yohohoho! Got it!" Brook laughed.

“Come on Brook! Let’s go wait in the kitchen! Sanji is supposed to have food done soon! I’m starving!” I state as Luffy pulls Brook along to the kitchen.

All while Usopp tried to exercise the skeleton.

"I don't think you're supposed to exorcise ghosts that way, Usopp..." Yukiko said.

"Evil spirit?" Brook yelped, looking around. "Where? Where is it?"

"It's you!"

"Eh?"

All the while, Luffy was laughing his head off.

"Guys, although skeletons can't walk, talk or have afros, let's accept that Brook is the exception, and he has an explanation, ok?" Yukiko asked.

"This is a dream! Definitely, it's a dream!" Usopp declared, not listening.

"Really?" Chopper sighed in relief. "Good, it's only a dream..." He keeled over, already out.

"Hello? Please wake up," Brook spoke, leaning over Chopper. "Good morning!"

"Eh– AHHHHH!"

"STOP THAT!" Zoro began yelling before turning to the captain. "Oi, Luffy, what's with this guy?"

"Isn't he funny?" Luffy candidly replied. "He's part of our crew now."

"I don't care, I won't let him be!" Zoro shot back.

Brook began laughing again. "It's nothing to be laughing about. Let's go inside now! We can have dinner!"

"You can't decide that!" Zoro, Nami and Sanji yelled at him.

"Hahaha, he's so funny!" Luffy chuckled.

Yukiko shook her head, but smiled as she noticed Cheshire was getting along with Brook.

Usopp and Chopper kept directing their crosses at him even as Brook was impressed of the galley and kitchen and the ship in general, all the while laughing that odd, haunting laugh of his with occasional interjections from Luffy. But his got him into Franky's good books immediately as the cyborg with the cyan pompadour praised Brook's eye for quality work.

"Oi, Franky," Sanji warned as he did a fry-up of seafood. "Don't get attached to him."

Yukiko was also in the kitchen making her special Pokepuffs so she left Varian with Luffy who was sitting in the Captain's lap.

"But, what I'm looking forward to the most is the food..." Brook sighed. "I haven't had had good food for so many years... I've lived so long with these hunger pangs that I feared I was just skin and bones... Although I'm a skeleton an don't have any skin at all! Yohohoho! Skull joke!"
