Nami : Why are we going!? We should turn back!!
Luffy : I told you I was fine by myself.
Sanji : No way, if you do something stupid and our ship gets crushed, then what?
(Y/N) : Why was I dragged here?
Currently, Luffy, Sanji, Nami and (Y/N) were climbing up the ghost ship. (Y/N), who was flying up, was carrying Nami because Sanji said so.
(Y/N) : You were looking forward to the "treasure ship", weren't you?
Nami : No way, this is the "treasure ship". You saw it didn't you the moving skeleton.
Luffy : That's the guardian of the treasure, let's search for him first!!
They look up and saw the skeleton peaking down from the ship.
Nami : GYAAAAAAAAH!!!
Back on Sunny, Usopp and Zoro heard the scream.
Usopp : Begone foul spirits, Begone foul spirits, rest in peace...
The four Straw hats were now on the deck of the ghost ship, infront of the skeleton. Nami was hiding behind all three of them.
(Y/N) : If you scream like that again... I'm dropping you right into the sea.
??? : How do you do!! Yohohohoho!! Pardon for my earlier behaviour!! I met eyes with you before, yet could give no greetings!!
??? : What a surprise!! It's been decades, perhaps, Since I've seen a living person!! All you see a ghost ship after ghost ship around these parts. So scary.
Luffy : Look, he's talking!!
(Y/N) : He also have an afro!!
??? : Now, now please come in.
He then looks at Nami.
??? : My, my!! What a lovely young woman over there!! Beautiful~!
Nami : Eh... No...that's...
??? : I've never set eyes on such a beauty!! 'Cause skeletons don't have eyes!! Yohohoho!!
He then puts his tea cup and his cane on a broken table and fix his clothing.
??? : ....
Straw hats : ....
??? : Perhapes you'd be so kind as to show your panties?
Nami kicks him on his head.
Nami : Like I'd show it to you!!
Luffy and (Y/N) burst laughing.
(Y/N) : That was a nice kick though.
Luffy : Oi, can you poop?
Sanji : THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK BEFORE THAT ONE!!
The skeleton walks up to the table and pick his things again.
??? : Yes, I do poop.
Sanji : DON'T ANSWER, WHATEVER!!
Sanji then starts asking him several questions until Luffy speaks up.
Luffy : Before that, become my nakama!!
??? : Yes, very well then.
Sanji & Nami : Uoooh, Oii!!
(Y/N) : He has an eye for quality crewmates.
Time skip brought to you by.... Idk think of something yourself...
??? : Yohohohoho!! A cheerful greeting!! Hello, everyone! I'm "Dead bones" Brook!! Nice to meet you!!
Franky, Zoro and Usopp : Are you joking!!? What the hell is this guy!!?
Brook : Yohohoho!! Don't be so harsh!
Chopper : It's a skeleton!!
Usopp : There's no reason for a skeleton to talk, walk or wear an afro!! This is a dream, just a dream!!
Chopper : Really!? I'm glad it's just a dream!
Usopp : Begone foul spirit, Begone foul spirit!!
Brook walks up to Robin who's as calm as always.
Brook : Oh, Hello, young lady! Could you let me see your panties?
Nami throws her boot at him.
Nami : STOP THAT, YOU PERVERTED SKELETON!!
Zoro : Oi, Luffy, what the hell is this guy!?
Luffy : He's funny so I made him our nakama!!
Zoro : I won't accept that!!
Zoro then turns towards Sanji, Nami, and (Y/N). Sanji and Nami were looking disappointed, while (Y/N) was cool as always.
Zoro : Why do you think you went with him!? You were supposed to stop Luffy from running wild!!
Sanji & Nami : We're ashamed.
Zoro looks at (Y/N).
(Y/N) : You know how hard it is to stop Luffy.
Brook : Yohohohoho!! Well it's not getting any warmer out here! Let's go inside the ship!! Let's have dinner!!
Sanji : Don't go deciding yourself!!
Brook and the Straw hats were now in the dining room. Brook and (Y/N) were sitting across at the end of the table. Brook and Luffy were having fun talking to each other. (Y/N) wasn't paying attention until Brook mentioned his devil's fruit.
(Y/N) : "Yomi Yomi No Mi"?
Brook : That's right! The truth is, I already died some decades ago!
He then started telling them about how he and his nakama came here and engaged some strong pirates and got annihilated. Usopp and Chopper ask him some questions about if he was a ghost or not. Suddenly, Nami shows him a mirror.
Brook : GYAAAAH!
Usopp : Eh? Wait a minute!!
He looks in the mirror.
Usopp : The mirror...!! You're not.. reflected in the mirror!!
Luffy : Eh? That's incredible!!
Usopp : HE'S A VAMPIRE!!
He then notice another thing.
Usopp : And look carefully. You don't have a shadow!!
The whole room was in panic only Robin and (Y/N) were calm.
(Y/N) : Why are you all hiding behind me?
He asks Chopper, Usopp and Nami but all of them were too sacred to answer, Nami and Chopper were almost going to cry.
(Y/N) : Okay, first of all, all of you calm down. Brook, tell us everything.
Brook : Very well, I'll tell you everything now. It has been a long time. Since I began drifting on this sea. Being a skeleton and not having a shadow are completely different things.
Brook : ....
Straw hats : ....
Brook : To be continued in the next chapter.
Sanji : TELL US EVERYTHING NOW!!
Brook began to tell them about how a certain man took his shadow. He wasn't able to go in sunlight or he'll start to disappear. He turns toward Luffy. (Y/N) was listening carefully, his eyes covered by his cap's shadow.
Brook : You invited me to be your Nakama. Thank you very much. But the truth is, I should decline.
Luffy : Oi, why!?
Brook : Right now, I'm being protected by the fog of this devil's sea. Even if I could leave with you, it would just be a matter of time before my body disappears. I have to get back my shadow which is still here.
Luffy : If it's the shadow that you want back, then we'll get it back!!
Brook : I only just met you. You shouldn't say that "you'll die for me".
Luffy ask him the name of the person who have his shadow but Brook declined to tell him.
Suddenly Brook screams.
Brook : GYAAAAAAH!!!
Sanji : Oi, what's happening!!?
He points at something above (Y/N). (Y/N) looks up and saw a white humanoid thing floating above his head.
(Y/N) : What the hell?
Brook : A-A Ghost!!
Suddenly Sunny starts to vibrate.
Zoro : What's that vibration!?
(Y/N) : I have a bad feeling about this.
(A/N) : I was actually planning to end the chapter on that part where Brook says "To be continued".
