I cried too cause I'm rereading the manga while I collect them and I cried when Luffy burned the Going Merry thinking "Why am I crying? This story has been going on for 20 years"
I like Brook, I'm surprised how he can be so cheerful and goofy after being stranded on a ship for 50 years. he has one of the saddest backstories next to Robin. His voice in the Funimation dub makes me think what if Whis from Dragon Ball was this wacky, perverted skeleton that's a musician.
Probably the effects of extreme isolation for 50 years. From what I remember of their meeting, he acted almost like he was in a dream or delusion. Nothing was entirely real, which is why he could so calmly accept the invite to the straw hats. Why get worked up when the illusion could pass at any moment? It wasn't until everything was over, the darkness he was forced to live in finally passed and he could walk under the sun again, and he could see a way forward that it really sunk in - he had friends again. Keeping the lighthearted goofiness he developed in isolation after that seemed like the intentional move of a professional entertainer.
Well usually things like that makes you a lot more cheerful and goofy. After all being alone for so long means you need to learn to entertain yourself.
Realistically Brooks backstory is 100× worse than robins and if a human IRL experienced this and could they'd 100% kill themself Robin is more of a toss up.
@@xtensioncordtv1969 I agree with you. With robin's backstory she was on the run for her whole life but at least she might have met someone who she could trust, if even for a short time, brook had no one. Also robin was suffering for 20 years whereas brook was for 50.
Mine too but mostly because I picture him coming up with them as a way to keep himself sinking into a pit of depression and loneliness during his 50 years alone
An amazing description as usual, well done. One of the best moments, at least for me, is when brook laughs because of sanji's encounter with the vivid image of his horrible wanted poster. I truly enjoy how joyful he is despite his sad backstory (one of the saddest in my opinion )
I really hope that Brook will become one of the legends of the world of One Piece. After all, he not only survived 50 years in The Florian Triangle, but also returned from it without losing himself as a person. Although after the resurrection he became a soul in a skeletal body, but in this soul there is more humanity than in anyone. Kindness, wisdom, caring, cheerfulness, optimism, loyalty honesty, politeness, sense of humor, the desire to keep promises no matter what. And his music, songs give warmth and comfort. Yeah, I wish Brook had more screen time for his art. And his works came out on discs.
Brook is probably my favorite character in all of One Piece. His speech to Franky and Robin about his promise to Laboon is probably one of my favorite speeches as well. I think the English dub did wonders with it 'Death is never an apology' makes me tear up every time. Brook makes me hope we get some sort of epilogue chapters for each of the Straw Hats after One Piece is finished him reuniting with Laboon is the number one thing I want/never want to see haha.
It's always been an idea in my mind that Brook would die in the final arc. My theory is that during the final battle with Blackbeard, Luffy's body would give out and die. During his time in the underworld he would meet up with all the dead allies he made along the way such as Pedro, Whitebeard, Ace, and finally talk with Roger himself. Before he could move on to the afterlife Brook would activate the ultimate ability of his devil fruit that being to bring one soul back from the dead. However in exchange Brook would have to take their place in the afterlife, and after a heart felt goodbye Brook would die again and bring Luffy back to life to fulfill his captains dream. After becoming pirate king Luffy would return the tone dial to Laboon and Crocus as Brooks final wish.
@@thecrimsonwrath1337 "Before Brook joined the Rumbar Pirates, he was the leader of a battle convoy in a "certain kingdom", where he learned his fencing and many of his attacks received their names. These nicknames of his fencing style were given to him by his previous crew, and nothing else has been spoken of his past, before he joined the Rumbar Pirates."
Brooke's crew's death is so much like how Wallace Hartley and his fellow musicians died on the Titanic. They died doing what they loved, playing music til the bitter end with their precious musical instruments in their cold, dead hands. But I feel the Titanic musicians were praying through music with that sad hymn 'Nearer My God to Thee.' While Brooke and crew died laughing to their favorite shanty (except Brooke who was crying at the end).

When Brook joined the Strawhats at the end of Thriller Bark Arc, Luffy's conversation with Zorro and Nami about recruiting a chef and a musician way back at the beginning of Syrup Village Arc finally came to pass. #OnePiece
Under my perspective 👀: Brook’s 💀 pre-timeskip 🎻 appearance remind me of the late José White, an Afro-Cuban violinist. While his post-timeskip 🎸 appearance remind me of Slash mixed with Jimi Hendrix. 🎵🎶
He was actually intended to look like a mixture of slash and jack skellington from the nightmare before christmas. This is because he wanted to base him off of a ledgendary muscian, and to add another the tim burton references found in thriller bark (e.g. hogback was inspired by finklestein, moria by oogie boogie, and cindry by sally)
Love Brook. He's my second favorite character in One piece because he's so fun, yet badass at the same time. His backstory is heart breaking, but he still is so full of life. Rock on Brook!!
Like Luffy, I had been waiting for a musician for a long time before Brook came along. In addition to being an interesting character with a truly tragic backstory (per regulation for all the Straw Hats it seems), his mannerisms and fighting style were entertaining and "Wooooow!" worthy to watch. I first saw him in Japanese clips of Thriller bark in 2008, i.e. when the Paramount War was being published in serial and I was 15 years old; as a fellow musician and someone who admires loyalty and integrity above other qualities, my heart resonated with Brook's promise to Laboon and his promise to the dying Rumbar pirates. And despite all the wonderful opening and closing songs for the 20 years One Piece has been in publication, it is "Bink's Sake" that is often called "the ultimate song for One Piece". Brook became my favorite Straw Hat just over ten years ago, and he is still my favorite now. Can I get a "Yo-ho-ho-ho!" in here for our favorite afro skeleton, and for his voice actors in both Japanese and in English? Seriously, they rule.
I remember the first time I saw him on the manga, I was like : A Skeleton! He has to be a Strawhat for sure! He was a wonderful gentleman with his Dr Slump Sembei Norimaki kind of comic sense to him. But like Franky he became a parody of himself, all his subtilities and his sensitivity were gone until Whole Cake Island were he shined as bright as ever. Recently when I saw him saving Carrot in the anime I was like : That's the sensitive kind hearted gentleman that I love! The guy ready to sacrifice his own life to protect people he loves! The one who saw his friends died and the one who wants to give back to other. Oda has redeem his character, the skull jokes and panty jokes were being used too often, Brook wasn't funny anymore neither able to touch our heart anymore and was portrayed as an awfully weak swordman who just use music to fight. After Whole Cake Island I feel like he is back as a strong character, I just hope that Oda will continue to develop that emotional and chivalrous side of his. But I would love to see him become a great sword man who can form a great Tandem with Zorro. That's what I was looking for when he first joined the crew. A guy who can push Zorro to be a better swordman by training with him everyday. We didn't see that and to me it's a waste of potential to portray him as a musician with no sword path driving force at all.
Christophe Maximin for me in the way you wanted him as a character for me it is completely different I love that he is a goof a pervert and a gentleman his fighting side is still cool but for me it is the thing I like the least about his character him training with zoro isn’t what brook is
Hey Grandlinereview could you do a series where you tell the history of islands or places that had an impact on the story or were visited in the series. There is a MASSIVE amount of content you can make and I think it would be nice because a lot of watchers/readers don't understand why some places are important.
Brook is one of my favourite anime characters, I love how he is kind of an underdog because he always behaves cowardly and reacts dramaticaly(Which annoys me a bit at times), but when he gets serious and fights properly; he is so damn badass.. I love his character design and fighting style. Also, he is MVP of Whole Cake, daaamn I cheered so hard for Brookeyy.
SOUL KING! And to think at first when he was introduced I wasn't sure that I was going to like him... Brook still is probably one of my least favourite straw hats, but he definitely adds something special. And the One Piece world would be definitely less epic without Bink's Sake (His Nekomamushi song is also a masterpiece).

this series could use a revisit, imo, as some of these videos would benefit from being brought up to current standards, as well as covering some more of the updates that have happened since their first videos.
Is he nearly invincible? Big moms fire and lightning hit him over and over, he acted like it was wearing him down, but seemed like no ill effects really…
I contest that Brook is, along with Chopper and Robin, an Awakened Devil Fruit User though not officially labelled as such as his devil fruit powers are clearly above what the fruit initially seemed to grant the user of. He can seemingly manipulate other souls as well though more through influence of music rather than full on take over like Big Mom can and can seemingly weaponize his own by channeling it through his sword. Chopper also may not have the same amount of control of his Monster Point (which is technically his Awakened form) given he requires a rumble ball to use it and can only properly control it for 3 minutes, but the fact he can access other forms beyond what other Zoan's have been able to demonstrate I think it's safe to say he qualifies. And when it comes to Robin, she can not just make giant versions of her limbs but even a full second body which, maybe if she could make even more doubles it might count more towards but I think this is a good sign that she has virtually awakened it as Paramecia's are rather strange in what awakened entails.
I honestly don't think he can die now. If he didn't get lost and found his body still freshly dead he probably could die again but I guess we don't know for sure.
Brook: Lost his crew. Got stuck in the Florian Triangle (WITH HIS CREW'S DEAD BODIES). Got his shadow stolen. Got separated with the strawhats. Being treated badly and forced to be a singer by the long arm tribe. what's next huh-
As much as I love Brooks character I wish he had a more serious nature, when he actually tries in his fights and really shows his sword and devil fruit prowess they're easily the most bad ass to watch.
Little fact: besides his sword, brook can also use his musical abilities to alter a person’s emotions, causing his allies to become more agressive or can reduce his enemies to tears. Also, being a skeleton, brook is unable to heal by normal means, and actually consumes milk to heal himself, because apparently calcium has healing properties for himself. Extra fact: brook is actually quite fearful of a lot of things and even gets scared of his own reflection. During his time on the haunted island, brook would hum to himself to keep calm while facing the hostile inhabitants, which in turn, scared the inhabitants and gave brook the nickname “the singing reaper” (i think i got that one wrong, Sorry)
I think we need to know more about Brook before he died. Why did he sail the Grand Line in those years before Roger? What was his dream before Laboon? He's the Straw Hat we know the least about.
Ok so I just wanna clear something up, brook has the saddest backstory, he lost his captain, lost his crew (also dying in the process), came back to life because of his devil fruit, floating across the florian triangle for more than 47 years!. While carrying the body’s of his dead crew members, losing his shadow at thriller bark. No doubt brook has the saddest backstory.
this dude is a whole menace and hes hight underrated, were talking about a guy who stole 3 poneglyphs, slept with one of the 4th emperors of the sea and he even said “roger?! i remember a rookie named that” and bro smokes with no lungs 😭
Dude.. watching/listening to Brook and his crew play their death song and hearing them drop one by one was haunting.. For such a goofy guy, he has a dark story!
Ha ha ha, I was waiting for a panties joke. And he always asks about it in such a polite way. Whenever I see Brook cosplayers at cons, I always say, "You may not see my panties, but they are (insert color here) today." (I am a woman who loves One Piece btw.) P.S. I am really worried about finding a fitting voice for Caesar Clown. In Japanese, it's the same actor with a whiny, yet intimidating, voice who did Frieza in DBZ. I don't know who they could possibly bring on for the Orochimaru Poseur in English.
happy birthday brook!!! :3 a strawhat that i loved immediately(being voiced by whis/dandy in english being a bonus.) for how he wears his heart on his sleeve(even though he has no organs.) and the mvp of whole cake along with my favorite costume in super grand battle x(marth with brooks mannerisms is hilarious to imagine and i'd love to see art of that.).
Okay, here's a question. The only known way to travel from the Grand Line into the Blues is either underwater like Law does or via the Calm Belt, in which no sailing ships can move without oars. So how did the Rumbar Pirates and Don Krieg escape the Grand Line?
How old is Brook actually not theoretically? I know he died and came back to life but his body seems to not have aged as it should. Wouldn't Brook actually be 38 prior post time then 40 after the time skip. I'm just saying since he actually came back to life.
I bet brook and laboon would be so happy to see each other again! When the whale hears the song I think he’s going be ok because he knew his friends are ok
i think one piece is getting wayyyyyyyyyyy moreee new watchers. i joined grandline review when this channel was about 2 or 300k. look at this now 775k subs. MashaAllah. 75k subs within 1 2 months. hardwork paying off.
The fact that the song was recorded on a tone dial means that there was a high chance they went to the sky islands, meaning they might’ve fought the “god” 50 years ago
@@caesarakagastinogangster9855 For me personally Nami's backstory is sad but not exactly a story to make me cry. She didn't lose everything seeing as her island and all the people she cared about are still there. She really only lost her childhood and her adoptive mother. Chopper's story made me extremely sad but I hadn't cried. He lost Dr. Hiruluk in a very tragic way but as with Nami, he still had Doctorine. Franky's story is sad? People think it's comparable to Brook's? Huh, go figure. Robin lost everyone yes, but since it's my personal opinion I didn't really grow attached to her. Even so she still had people to be around, she couldn't trust them but she had company. Brook lost everyone he cared about, couldn't keep his promise to laboon and because of his devil fruit he was left at sea with nothing and no one. Then again, it's my opinion so judging it or insinuating it's wrong is stupid.
@@tagshots9544 I'll explain what i did for me brook being alone is sad but at the same time it keep him safe from danger also brook was old enough and not a small kid . The thing hurts in nami backstory is the she is obliged to do robbery, living with pirates stealing from pirates ( the most dangerous people) . Also she take the blame for joining arlong crew and the people of her village started to hate her . So she barely talked to anyone of her village ( except that old man , and her adopted sister) And you're right about robin even if somr one like Robin or don't like it her tragic story can't be denied . For me franky backstory is extremely tragic because he has to deal with the scum spandam, the death of his teacher tom , until we see him trying to stop a train with his body because of this even the frog of water7 keeps attacking the train to stop him for almost 2 decades.
@@tagshots9544 so i think you're just related to Brook more than the rest . But for someone like me who has no deference between all one piece characters even going merry and vivi where able to make me cry .

I like Brook, I'm surprised how he can be so cheerful and goofy after being stranded on a ship for 50 years. he has one of the saddest backstories next to Robin. His voice in the Funimation dub makes me think what if Whis from Dragon Ball was this wacky, perverted skeleton that's a musician.
Probably the effects of extreme isolation for 50 years. From what I remember of their meeting, he acted almost like he was in a dream or delusion. Nothing was entirely real, which is why he could so calmly accept the invite to the straw hats. Why get worked up when the illusion could pass at any moment? It wasn't until everything was over, the darkness he was forced to live in finally passed and he could walk under the sun again, and he could see a way forward that it really sunk in - he had friends again. Keeping the lighthearted goofiness he developed in isolation after that seemed like the intentional move of a professional entertainer.
I love how when he first meets the crew they all verbally abuse him and he just laughs
Well usually things like that makes you a lot more cheerful and goofy. After all being alone for so long means you need to learn to entertain yourself.
Realistically Brooks backstory is 100× worse than robins and if a human IRL experienced this and could they'd 100% kill themself Robin is more of a toss up.

I love brooks back story. A second chance at life got him fame and possibly fortune
You mentioning my favorite book series, Skulduggery Pleasant, made my day. Didn't think anyone else knew about those books! 😍
Brook used to be npc character in rogar era and later became a main character.
It took him many years.
Now that I think about it, when Brook made the 45 degrees joke, could it be that because he drifted alone for 45 years?
His crews death is so sad and it hurts so much the entire thing hurts
Brook's Backstory to when he was a pirate was already super sad.
I honestly hope his childhood isn't sad like major characters in One Piece.
SOUL KING! And to think at first when he was introduced I wasn't sure that I was going to like him... Brook still is probably one of my least favourite straw hats, but he definitely adds something special. And the One Piece world would be definitely less epic without Bink's Sake (His Nekomamushi song is also a masterpiece).
From the start, Luffy already stated that he wants a musician as 1 of his crew mate. He got it, the best musician in the world
I was LITERALLY just reading Skulduggery pleasant early today. Such a great series but now I'm forever going to relate it to Brook
YES. Best crewmate and another reason why I love Thriller Bark. I don't know why I didn't expect this...

Wouldn't be heartbreaking seeing Brook playing Music in front of Strawhats Grave?
I Love Skulduggery Pleasant and I love Brook
why did I not seen this connection before :-0
Brook's final performance when he was still alive was the most saddest I've ever seen.
Looking back at this an sayin dam Liam you really improved with your story telling continue improving love your videos
this series could use a revisit, imo, as some of these videos would benefit from being brought up to current standards, as well as covering some more of the updates that have happened since their first videos.
I'm feeling a lack of 45 degree angles here.
Brook vs Big Mom was his finest moment. Mad respect
That's true. Especially when he called Big mummy "young lady" and told her a lot of things directly)).
Wonder who would win btwn Brook and Kaido ? Bc Brook is dead and Kaido wants to die.
Is he nearly invincible? Big moms fire and lightning hit him over and over, he acted like it was wearing him down, but seemed like no ill effects really…
Very Excellent Presentation of Brook!!! Thank you. :)
I contest that Brook is, along with Chopper and Robin, an Awakened Devil Fruit User though not officially labelled as such as his devil fruit powers are clearly above what the fruit initially seemed to grant the user of. He can seemingly manipulate other souls as well though more through influence of music rather than full on take over like Big Mom can and can seemingly weaponize his own by channeling it through his sword. Chopper also may not have the same amount of control of his Monster Point (which is technically his Awakened form) given he requires a rumble ball to use it and can only properly control it for 3 minutes, but the fact he can access other forms beyond what other Zoan's have been able to demonstrate I think it's safe to say he qualifies. And when it comes to Robin, she can not just make giant versions of her limbs but even a full second body which, maybe if she could make even more doubles it might count more towards but I think this is a good sign that she has virtually awakened it as Paramecia's are rather strange in what awakened entails.
I honestly don't think he can die now. If he didn't get lost and found his body still freshly dead he probably could die again but I guess we don't know for sure.
Brook:
Lost his crew.
Got stuck in the Florian Triangle (WITH HIS CREW'S DEAD BODIES).
Got his shadow stolen.
Got separated with the strawhats.
Being treated badly and forced to be a singer by the long arm tribe.
what's next huh-
As much as I love Brooks character I wish he had a more serious nature, when he actually tries in his fights and really shows his sword and devil fruit prowess they're easily the most bad ass to watch.
let's not forget that brook is the first of the straw hats to fight a yonko
This was a great video.
How ever the Skulduggery Pleasant refference made this PERFECT!
Little fact: besides his sword, brook can also use his musical abilities to alter a person’s emotions, causing his allies to become more agressive or can reduce his enemies to tears.
Also, being a skeleton, brook is unable to heal by normal means, and actually consumes milk to heal himself, because apparently calcium has healing properties for himself.
Extra fact: brook is actually quite fearful of a lot of things and even gets scared of his own reflection. During his time on the haunted island, brook would hum to himself to keep calm while facing the hostile inhabitants, which in turn, scared the inhabitants and gave brook the nickname “the singing reaper” (i think i got that one wrong, Sorry)
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AHHHHH
I think we need to know more about Brook before he died. Why did he sail the Grand Line in those years before Roger? What was his dream before Laboon? He's the Straw Hat we know the least about.
I feel like brook Kinda went insane in those 50 years of isolation leading to his jokes being mostly puns either way hes easily my favorite straw hat
I want brooks song to be just slowed and replayed one last time as the one piece ending
Ok so I just wanna clear something up, brook has the saddest backstory, he lost his captain, lost his crew (also dying in the process), came back to life because of his devil fruit, floating across the florian triangle for more than 47 years!. While carrying the body’s of his dead crew members, losing his shadow at thriller bark. No doubt brook has the saddest backstory.
Imaging being alone for all that time and you couldn’t even rob 1 out.
this dude is a whole menace and hes hight underrated, were talking about a guy who stole 3 poneglyphs, slept with one of the 4th emperors of the sea and he even said “roger?! i remember a rookie named that” and bro smokes with no lungs 😭
Yo Liam i suggest using the sad OST from one piece " mother sea"
When you talk about flashbacks or something sad like a characters death ...
*_Do a "One Piece 101" on (Mad Monk Orouge) please =)_*
I swear Brooke had the best introduction in the series! I always manage to bust a gut!
Dude.. watching/listening to Brook and his crew play their death song and hearing them drop one by one was haunting.. For such a goofy guy, he has a dark story!
Brook’s crying scene was so emotional for me
So no body gonna say:
Show me your *pantsu*
Yohohoho
I prefer shirororororo btw
Ha ha ha, I was waiting for a panties joke. And he always asks about it in such a polite way. Whenever I see Brook cosplayers at cons, I always say, "You may not see my panties, but they are (insert color here) today." (I am a woman who loves One Piece btw.)
P.S. I am really worried about finding a fitting voice for Caesar Clown. In Japanese, it's the same actor with a whiny, yet intimidating, voice who did Frieza in DBZ. I don't know who they could possibly bring on for the Orochimaru Poseur in English.
Shaki told Brook what kind Panties she was wearing lol 😂
I prepare mamamama btw
happy birthday brook!!! :3
a strawhat that i loved immediately(being voiced by whis/dandy in english being a bonus.) for how he wears his heart on his sleeve(even though he has no organs.) and the mvp of whole cake along with my favorite costume in super grand battle x(marth with brooks mannerisms is hilarious to imagine and i'd love to see art of that.).
Would of been better if you used the "Death isn't an apology" quote to start this video off
I hope we learn brook backstory someday, before he was with the rumbar pirates when he was a soldier in west blue which we know almost nothing about
Brook: The Straw Hat that treated Big Mom like somebody's bad ass kid.
Okay, here's a question. The only known way to travel from the Grand Line into the Blues is either underwater like Law does or via the Calm Belt, in which no sailing ships can move without oars. So how did the Rumbar Pirates and Don Krieg escape the Grand Line?
Franky and Brooke backstory always make me cry.
PLEASE do the Invincible Helmsman Jimbae** already!!!
You know you're cool when the marines have a unique bounty poster for you.
How old is Brook actually not theoretically? I know he died and came back to life but his body seems to not have aged as it should. Wouldn't Brook actually be 38 prior post time then 40 after the time skip. I'm just saying since he actually came back to life.
Brook certainly fit in perfectly with the rest of the straw hats and like the rest of them, shall have his dream come true one day.
His dream or wish isn’t a selfish desire like becoming the best or finding something, no he wants to fulfill a promise and reunite with laboon.
my fav character
of all times in one piece
long arm? music? wano? aww, this could be cool
i'm callin it brook vs apoo
I bet brook and laboon would be so happy to see each other again! When the whale hears the song I think he’s going be ok because he knew his friends are ok
i think one piece is getting wayyyyyyyyyyy moreee new watchers. i joined grandline review when this channel was about 2 or 300k. look at this now 775k subs. MashaAllah. 75k subs within 1 2 months. hardwork paying off.
This video CHILLS me to the BONE because of the SKELETON of SKELEPUNS I got
How can you not love a perverted skeleton
He wants to bone
@@Rockman9830 wtf
IF SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT WAS IN THE ONE PIECE UNIVERSE HE WOULD HAVE BY NOW FOUND A WAY TO DEFEAT KAIDO
The fact that the song was recorded on a tone dial means that there was a high chance they went to the sky islands, meaning they might’ve fought the “god” 50 years ago
Brook mentions that he bought it from a merchant during thriller bark so it more likely fell from the sky back into the sea without breaking
I love Brook he’s my favorite character.
Now that I think about it, why the Marines have never set a base at the end of reverse mountain?
Hey Grandline Review you have to make on zoro and Sanji
Your a underrated youtuber
I love your vids man
He did. th-cam.com/play/PLVekXtYST9TDks9H3pcMeXtqIXA6JIaCF.html
The rock n’ roll skeleton himself.
Yohohohohoho the first flashback that made me cry...a lot
Nami ??
Chopper ??
Franky ??
Even Robin ??
I cried in every falshback but sanji and luffy flashbacks made me in depression for Weeks.
@@caesarakagastinogangster9855 For me personally
Nami's backstory is sad but not exactly a story to make me cry. She didn't lose everything seeing as her island and all the people she cared about are still there. She really only lost her childhood and her adoptive mother.
Chopper's story made me extremely sad but I hadn't cried. He lost Dr. Hiruluk in a very tragic way but as with Nami, he still had Doctorine.
Franky's story is sad? People think it's comparable to Brook's? Huh, go figure.
Robin lost everyone yes, but since it's my personal opinion I didn't really grow attached to her. Even so she still had people to be around, she couldn't trust them but she had company.
Brook lost everyone he cared about, couldn't keep his promise to laboon and because of his devil fruit he was left at sea with nothing and no one.
Then again, it's my opinion so judging it or insinuating it's wrong is stupid.
@@tagshots9544 I'll explain what i did for me brook being alone is sad but at the same time it keep him safe from danger also brook was old enough and not a small kid .
The thing hurts in nami backstory is the she is obliged to do robbery, living with pirates stealing from pirates ( the most dangerous people) .
Also she take the blame for joining arlong crew and the people of her village started to hate her .
So she barely talked to anyone of her village ( except that old man , and her adopted sister)
And you're right about robin even if somr one like Robin or don't like it her tragic story can't be denied .
For me franky backstory is extremely tragic because he has to deal with the scum spandam, the death of his teacher tom , until we see him trying to stop a train with his body because of this even the frog of water7 keeps attacking the train to stop him for almost 2 decades.
@@tagshots9544 so i think you're just related to Brook more than the rest .
But for someone like me who has no deference between all one piece characters even going merry and vivi where able to make me cry .
So Jinbe is next right?
Who doesn’t love brook tho his songs are the best like brinks sake you know brings a lot of happy vibes and sad vibes it’s just that type of amazing song
Well, hair actually doesn’t stop growing for a while after you die
