After Brook successfully cut Tararan's back to face, he was screaming in pain with blood slowly dripped down his face. All the Spider Mice were shocked that they saw their boss got defeated. But Franky had to say something to warn Brook.
Franky: "The fights not over! Swords don't work on zombies! He's gonna pop back up!"
Tararan: "Curse you...! Wait a sec... I've seen you somewhere before!"
Brook: "Yohohohohoho! Not to worry! I've already dealt with that."
Franky: "How?" he tilt his head.
Brook: "Even zombies have weaknesses!"
The three turned to the giant spider monkey and his head facing upwards into the sky and a black substance floating out his mouth.
Franky: "What's that?!"
Brook: "It's the zombie's soul."
Franky: "His soul?! But I can see it leaving his body!"
Spider Mice: "C-CAPTAIN!"
Then the soul fully escaped the body and flew into the air.
Brook: "It's high time you returned... to your rightful master!"
Then soul flew into the clouds and Tararan's body fell down to the ground, lifeless. The spider mice started screaming about their captain being defeated.
(Y/N): "Like all spiders... they end up getting killed. All of them..." he turns to the remaining spiders.
Spider-Mice: "AAAHHHH! RETREAT! RETREAT!" they all scattered away.
(Y/N): "What did you do that made his soul get out?"
Brook: "I purified him." he answered.
Franky: "You what?!"
Brook: "That spider web is strong against physical attacks, but weak against fire."
With that being said, Franky used his Fresh Fire attack to melt the threads to escape. Then he used it to free Robin from the threads as (Y/N) gave a handshake to Brook for helping out.
(Y/N): "They got Luffy and the others. You seem to know quite a lot about this place..."
Brook: "I am, but I don't know where to begin. If they've been caught, we're probably too late."
Franky: "WHAT?! IT'S TOO LATE?!" he shouts make spit fly.
Brook: "P-Please don't yell at me! It makes me jump under my skin! But I'm a skeleton, so I don't have any skin! Yohohohohoho! It's my skull humor!" he laughs as the cyborg aim his Weapon Left at him.
Robin: "Bon't bother. He's already dead."
Brook: "Anyway, please put the joking aside and hear me out." he gets aimed at again by Franky.
(Y/N): "Stop, he's already dead."
Brook: "As I already told you, without a working rudder, I spent decades wandering these seas alone. Even if I wanted to escape from the Devil's Sea, I was at the mercy of the tide because of my broken rudder. Now let's go back to about five years ago.
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) & Brook telling stories-
After being told the story of his experience at Thriller Bark. They understand that the shadow went missing was because of Moria and Dr. Hogback. They understood that the zombies were weak with salt and fire, but salt is the key to saving the people who had their shadows missing. But there was one story that made (Y/N) in shock and had to tell the others.
(Y/N): "Franky... you've been crying ever since. Stop it."
Franky: "What are you talking about?! I'm not crying, you idiot! Don't look at me!"
Robin: "What compelled you... to ask him that?"
(Y/N): "I'm not an idiot... idiot..." he started that the cyborg still crying.
Robin: "You're my idiot."
(Y/N): "And you're my girlfriend."
Franky: "I love that skeleton guy! You'll never find a better guy! Darn it all!"
(Y/N): "From trying to kill him, to loving the guy... make up your mind. But I agree."
They soon stopped when they heard a voice of someone they know. But it was somehow a little different to them.
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) trying wine out-
Chopper and Usopp were in trouble. They were up beneath a pile of zombies screaming for help, they all stopped when they saw one zombie having his soul purified and letting the shadow go out the body.
(Y/N): "I had enough of you undead beings." he had one in his hand and throws a salt in the zombies mouth.
Zombie: "Our buddies are getting purified!"
Franky: "You'd better get your mitts... off my sworn little brothers, punk!"
They listened and let the two go as the two climbed out.
Chopper: "(Y/N)!" he jumped hugging his face.
Usopp: "Robin! Franky!" he cried in happiness seeing them.
(Y/N): "Sorry for the wait. We were stuck in a battle..." he apologized.
Robin: "Usopp, Chopper, are you two all right?" she asked.
The two pirates cried and hugged each other happy to see their friends were okay and saving their lives. Then they ran down the stairs as Usopp and Chopper explained that Nami was taken away by the person that became invisible which (Y/N) knew.
(Y/N): "All that animal want is a lady and not to kill. Nami will be fine, but I assume that Sanji would be pissed off."
Franky: "No there's more reason to hurry to Sunny! We'll wake up Straw Hat and the guys and recover their shadows!"
Chopper: "But the island is infested with zombies! That won't be easy!"
Usopp: "Speaking of zombies, how did you take them out?" he wondered.
(Y/N): "Brook gave us the secret to the zombies' weakness. *shows bag of salt* Take this." he throws the bag to him.
Usopp: "Salt? You're telling me that if we put the salt in their mouths, we can purify them?"
(Y/N): "You saw what happened."
Robin: "By the way, what exactly was that monstrous roar that came from upstairs?" she asked.
Franky: "Seriously! We followed that sound here."
Usopp: "That was Luffy's voice."
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) hugging Chopper in Guard Point-
They made it to the Sunny and started looking for the Monster Trio. They couldn't find them outside, so they had to check inside to find out if they're still alive. Robin told them that they'll be dead if exposed to sunlight meaning the zombies will die as well.
Usopp: "Gotcha. Chopper and Franky, you two search the first floor! Robin, (Y/N) and I will search the second floor. Zombies could still be hiding somewhere on board, so be careful!"
They went around searching in the rooms that was in the Sunny. Usopp went into the kitchen and made his eyes stretched out seeing what he saw.
Usopp: "Found them! Oi, I found them! They're in the dining room! All three are up here!" he shouted out.
By the time they got there, they couldn't believe what they saw like the sniper.
Chopper: "Luffy!"
Franky: "How... could they do such a thing...?"
(Y/N): "*containing laughter* Pfft-! Hehe.." he block his mouth.
Usopp: "The zombies had a blast "decorating" them..."
(Y/N): "Pfft... YAHAHAHAHA! This one, I have to draw this and save it."
Usopp: "Wake up, Luffy! Man, you can't sleep looking like this! Luffy! C'mon!" he shook him around."
Franky: "Leave it to me! *crack knuckles then punching* HEY! WAKE UP! THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO CATCH SOME Z'S! WE'VE GOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM!"
He left three bumps on each of their heads and made the Sunny wobble around. But they didn't wake up. (Y/N) tried slapping them seeing if it would work.
(Y/N): "Wake up, Zoro! It's me, (Y/N)."
Usopp: "Stop, I got this. At times like this..."
He takes a deep breath and yells out...
Usopp: "THERE'S A HOT MASTER SWORDSWOMAN WITH MEAT!"
The the three shiver hearing this. Then their arms started moving and got on their knees with their arms support them to show their faces.
Sanji: "Hot?"
Luffy: "Meat?"
Zoro: "Master swordswoman?!"
(Y/N) & Chopper: "These guys are hopeless!"
After they regain their consciousness, they went outside to clear their head. The three were confused how they ended up back on the Sunny.
Zoro: "Wait... None of that was a dream...! My shadow is missing! This feels so weird." looking down where he shadow was.
Luffy: "Oi, this is bad! We have a disaster on hand! We're all out of food!" he runs out with a giant piece of cheese and a can.
Sanji: "We had our galley packed nicely, but now it's empty. They took off with everything but some emergency rations."
Luffy: "I CAN'T LIBE OFF CHEESE AND DRIED BREAD! GIMME MEAT!" he yells in frustration.
(Y/N): "It's cheddar than nothing..."
Zoro: "But... *facepalm* This is really humiliating. I wasn't taking things seriously enough!"
Luffy: "I lost my pirate lunch... Cheese doesn't cut it! Cheese bites!" he cries.
Sanji: By the way, I don't see Nami-san."
(Y/N): "After this explanation... You're not gonna like this."
-Timeskip brought to you by Chibi (Y/N) pulling off petals-
Sanji: "Wha-? M-M-MARRIAGE?! DON'T BE STUPID! I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" he erupted in flames.
Luffy: "He's got guts to marry Nami..."
(Y/N): "I was wondering the same thing."
Luffy: "And there's a giant version of me? That's how you make zombie?"
Zoro: "So you've found Luffy's and the cook's zombies, Usopp?"
Chopper and Usopp were beside each other crying and fearing about Moria being one of the Seven Warlords.
(Y/N): "It makes sense why you fear a Warlord."
Usopp & Chopper: "EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!"
Luffy: "Thats right! If the zombies act just like us, then (Y/N) and I saw your zombie, Zoro."
Zoro: "What was he like?"
(Y/N): "Let's just say... His fashion taste is not the best. He had sandals, a floaty, and some weird duck hat."
Zoro: "Thanks for the info. So we need to find a zombie in sandals, Luffy's giant, and the cook's dogguin. Our shadows will come back if we throw salt in their mouths, right?" he asked.
Franky: "Yeah, that's how it works."
Zoro: "But honestly, I'm amazed you discovered that weakness."
(Y/N): "Brook told gave us all the details. From defeat zombies to saving you guys."
Hearing the skeleton's name made the rubber man smile.
Luffy: "Really?! You saw Brook?"
Franky: "Yeah, we did. And I asked him a stupid question when I saw him. See, I totally rejected his very existence when you first brought him aboard our ship to join our crew... He might be a flimsy skeleton, but when I talked to him, he had an iron backbone! One fitting for a skeleton... He... He... He's a real man! I had to ask him..."
The memory flashed to Brook and the three at the webs where the skeleton was leaving. But the cyborg stopped him. He asked about regular people laying their eyes upon a skeleton that's alive. Saying that no one would be friends with him due to him being a freak to people's eyes. If Franky was in Brook's situation, he would have ended his life. But he wanted to know, what was the promise that skeleton was keeping. He told them he left a crewmate behind and promised they would return, but they were killed in the seas, where they couldn't keep their promise. He believed that he died fifty years ago shocking the cyborg. (Y/N) was thinking of a person that could live that long, but couldn't. Brook told them to be quiet, he wonders if this member was still waiting. He ask how his crewmate would feel after all those promises and how he would feel betrayed. Brook and his crew swore to reunite with crewmate.
(Y/N): "Laboon..."
The name made Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, and (Y/N) remember.
Chopper: "(Y/N), isn't that the name of the whale you told to us."
Robin: "I believe I remember now."
(Y/N): "Yes... That Laboon... I can't believe it's him... He can finally be happy once more!"
