Mirror, without the silly waiting and whatnot.
I have to say, this is BY FAR one of the weirdest chapters of One Piece. It surpasses even the exploding booger and the giraffe kung-fu…
Btw, you can see Brook's pirate flag in page 12. So he is a pirate.
Hmm, puts me thinking. Is he good guy after all?
Also, his flag have afro too!
Ha hahah haaa.
Whoever made the Brooke wiki page, I'm assuming he did it based on my translation, so I feel responsible to point out a few things:
Brooke and his ghost ship didn't appear right after the SHs triggered the flare signal, but after they got caught in the storm and managed to run away from it. Though it is highly probable these two events are linked.
Brooke said he "hasn't seen livings for more than ten years" or "tens of years", not exactly ten years.
Brooke didn't board the Thousand Sunny (yet), Luffy, Sanji and Nami went to his Ghost Ship to explore, and met/invited him there
That aside, here my thoughts on the chapter:
Thousand Sunny owns, absolutely loving this ship now
Page 13 top panel, everybody, including zoro, is shocked and has face faults, except Robin, who is still calm as always >.>
Same page, however, at the bottom, Zoro looks pure evil XD
now I want to see Brook fight….......... can't imagine how he is going to fight....
Maybe Brooke is gonna be like Johnney and Yosaku. He'll just guide them through the Dark Triangle.
or like someone else said, lead them into a trap…..
I will post it here again:

Nice flag. Skull with afro. This guy is definetely pirate.
i can honestly say i did not see that coming bwuahahahahhaha~!
awesome!

thanks BF and everyone!
That isn't a bear, it's some freakish thing with 4 eyes.
@AD-HD:
Btw, you can see Brook's pirate flag in page 12. So he is a pirate.
That's true. There is a pirate symbol painted on the sail. I wouldn't have noticed that, ever.
This may mean he was a pirate captain even before he died. On the other hand he instantly accepted Luffy's offer. Strange for a captain.
…and where is his crew?
something's wrong.
they send out a signal, and brooke immediately comes to pass by 'coincidentally'?
and he doesn't even mention a word like
'wow did u guys shoot out that flare?'
get my meaning? he's treating it like it never happened, plus he came by just after the flare burst
those are ghost ships, i'm thinking there's more than meets the eye, and they had their eyes on the mugiwaras the moment the flare was released
Thanks to those responsible for the HQ.
Good catch with with Brooke's flag, I couldn't find it.
So, the soldier dock system consist of a transformation from sail boat into a dual paddle wheel boat. I think we can assume that there is the ability to add a third wheel to underneath the bow of the ship and allow for over land travel. Seeing them tool around the redline on a giant three wheel buggy should be fun.
Also, who would have thought that when brooke asked to see nami's panties, she'd let him?
Nami gave Brooke a high roundhouse kick to the head while wearing a miniskirt. There is no way that he didn't get a full panty shot. This only goes to show that brooke is a strawhat as everyone else has already seen her naked except for franky (Alubasta Bath house.) But she's seen franky naked which ought to make up for it. Nami's such an exhibitionist.
:lol: @ Oda going through a fishnets stage.
Much better in HQ and thank fuck for that, Franky's got his pants on again.
Awesome chapter, thanks BF!
Still downloading, can't wait to see the skeleton that was in the spoilers [Internet screwed up from wednesday]. Plus it's a HQ!
I did my best to join the spread…hope u guys like it...
Thanks a lot. I've already got is has my current wallpaper.
The flag on his very massive ship seems to be of himself. - He's clearly a captain, either self-proclaimed or one in his past life. Judging by the size of the ship, swords and chests on it, Captain Brook must've been pretty big.
He's getting that tea from somewhere anyways.
Captain Brook, the Gentleman Pirate. It sounds nice.
…
The Afro Pirates?
Well, his skeliton is fairly tall. And I think he got the tea from the worship barrel.
he might have other members of his afro crew around….. you might never know....
I think that Brook will join for real actually, even though he will be the fourth black haired person to join… But why I think he will join is because of the way he joined, both Robin and Franky joinings were special, with Franky first we though he was a villain and then the other characetr Paulie who also seemed have alittle chance to join, and Robins chocking joining and then this guys comes up from nowhere and joins... And I think he will have a pretty deep character with a tragic past ofc.. and bit by bit he will remember different things during this arc when he travels with a happy crew and then at last he will remember his past and then remebering what he was strving for. And the cool part is how we will see how he looked when he was stil human.. :D
I rembering Oda said that magic will not be involved in OP.. so I wonder how did he turn into a living skeleton?..
His name also fits very well with the strawhats, since no other person has a similair name.
I'm not bored enough to read through 14 pages, so I'm gonna ask whether anyone has already theorized that Brook is Aokiji's ancestor. If not I get dibs on that one.
Maybe the tea is what keeps him alive.
Brooke looks like a combination of prince and slash from guns n roses.
Ooh, HQ is out.
I like Brooke. He seems like he'll be more of a temporary travelling companion like Johnny, Yosaku, or Vivi than a permanent member (the "can't leave the triangle" theory sounds plausible), but if he does join I won't complain. Sunny transforming was cool as well.
To It's a lion: are you going to add Brooke in you signature with necrophilia? cause that would be awesome
I have one question. After reading most of the posts I have gathered that most of you guys love Brooke. I am no exception to that, his boney charm has pulled me in and I love the damn guy. I mean he tipped his hat to them for god's sake! So here's my question.
Is there anyone who doesn't love this guy, and doesn't want him to join?
Ahhhh, where the hell did this come from? I love Oda.
And I would be pissed if such an awsome character doesn't join permanently.
This page will remain in history:

It is pure greatness. I seriously hope that Brook is here to stay.
Having a living skeleton will most certainly make One Piece even more interestign than it already is.
… This only goes to show that brooke is a strawhat as everyone else has already seen her naked except for franky (Alubasta Bath house.) But she's seen franky naked which ought to make up for it. Nami's such an exhibitionist.
Hey Boiga, I won't dispute that Nami's an exhibitionist – but when has Zoro ever seen her naked? ... wasn't it Eyelash ("the pervert camel") who got smacked by Nami's Happiness Punch -- not Zoro?
Since people seem so surprised whenever I mention this, I'll link the manga pics to prove it:
If you look closely at the pic where Zoro is washing Choppy, you can see Eyelash soaking in the water (in the distance near Usopp and Luffy) -- but because Eyelash looks like a statue, it's easy to overlook him and assume he isn't there :
http://groups.msn.com/OnePieceManga/onepiecechapter213.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=4132
ok, now check out the line-up on top of the wall :
http://groups.msn.com/OnePieceManga/onepiecechapter213.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=4134
As best I can tell, it goes like this :
Luffy, Ingram (curly hair), Sanji (heart smoke), Usopp (hair tied up on top of his head), Cobra (with hair flatened out slightly on top, or possibly a towel), Choppy ("hiding" sideways), and Eyelash (huge nose!).
The visual joke plays out the same way in the anime too – with Eyelash shown in the foreground when everyone collapses on the floor after feeling the effects of Nami's Happiness Punch. Steam partially obscures the bodies and faces, but there's no mistaking a camel for a camel! And Zoro looks nothing like a camel!
(As to WHY Zoro wouldn't be interested in seeing Nami and Vivi in the nude ... well ... everyone has their own theory, so there's no need to elaborate here).
Makes me laugh like crazy whenever I see that scene -- I wonder why Zoro's absence is so difficult for others to notice?
Anyways, back to the chapter discussion :
Wow, this thrilling and indepth analysis makes me thing that my friend may've been onto something when she said that Nami's personality eroded away and shes nothing but boobs now.
Aren't most of you jumping the gun a wee bit? We've seen a total of 5 pages of this guy and suddenly he's the new Paulie.
Excellent and Hilarious chapter, and the crew has found their musician I guess. Oda is a genius lol.
well, this leads nowhere but i see zoro near chopper, at his right. (left, in fact) at least this amount of ink is not chopper alone.

why do i already foresee the "i will stop reading one piece if brooks doesn't join!"?
I'm willing to bet that in the next chapter we find out Brooke is a big scaredy cat as well.
I don't think Brooke is responsible for the killing people who enters this area. He said he hasn't seen a live being for 10 years. If he does indeed kill them, then he should be seeing live people quite often.
.
Did Kokoro-san said that Floral Triangle is ascary place… and u know what.. every body know no one has return from the triangle..so, why should everybody still accross the triangle every years? more than 100 ship known to be missing there and maybe that scared people out and nobody trying to reach there for more than 10 years....
Of course roger has passed the triangle safely but it was 22 years ago.. and so far we know nobody hav reach raftel yet after that.
Am I the only one that thinks having Zoro as lookout seems like a bad idea? He'll take a power nap, then BAM! Iceberg. And there's probably only enough lifeboats for women and Usopps.
Also, I am dissapointed that all the male strawhats have changed back into their usual attire. Even Sanji.
I'm confuse is it Brooke or Burukku?
this guy isn't the new paulie,
paulie was far from joining to me..he's not mugiwara type

Anyways, back to the chapter discussion :
Okay, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?
But seriously, I just saw that Brooke now has his own Wiki, so everything's cool. But, I'm beginning to understand his design more. First off, the hair and hat is Slash, we all know that. One of Oda's fav movies was The Nightmare Before Christmas, so he could be like Jake Skelliton (he's the same height), and one of Oda's fav musicians is Brooke Benson.
haha brooke benton actually has a few good songs..
WE GOT TWO TICKETS TO PARADISE
@Pass:
If the skeleton is going to join the crew, what position would be have, hm? Think about that before exclaiming he's going to join.
No, the strawhats don't need a buttler. That would be useless. Sanji is pretty much a buttler to Nami and Robin, and the men are too yelling at each other for comic relief to have needs to be catered to.
Luffy actually asked the guy to join his crew. Nobody is a permanent member until he's done that and once he has there's no refusing him :)
Luffy still hasn't gotten the musician he's always wanted in his crew so I can imagine he'll be filling that part in. Just you wait till he whips out his whailing Guitar!
@Pass:
Someone posted this from an interview with Oda in another thread.
Q: Which Singers do you like?
A: Bryan Adams, Eminem…... Brooke Benson.BROOKE!
Do you mean Brooke Benton?
brooke = slash.
What I really can't wait for now is for the others to properly meet Brooke. When Brooke meets Franky, Robin, Zoro, Chopper, and Usopp it'll be a riot. It'll be even funnier when they realize that Brooke joined the crew. Then maybe we'll finally learn more about him and the Furian Triangle.
Also, is this thread deleting every single post that says they don't like Brooke? I haven't seen any yet.
At risk of incurring more of Impel Down's wrath for wandering further down this path … (Impel : the original topic was how Brooke is now an official Mugiwara because he's seen Nami's panties -- or something like that. Don't look at me, Boiga started it!)
well, this leads nowhere but i see zoro near chopper, at his right. (left, in fact) at least this amount of ink is not chopper alone.
Igalsfy – I once thought that too, until I bought the tanko. Here's a higher quality scan of the line-up where you can clearly see that it's Choppy's hip and not Zoro. Choppy is doing his "hiding the wrong way" thingy, but this time horizontally, not vertically.
As for commenting on the actual chapter – I'm still thinking about it. Also waiting for Stephen's translation.
@Impel:
One of Oda's fav movies was The Nightmare Before Christmas
I'm pretty unsure of that. If I remember correctly, Oda did see Nightmare Before Christmas and saw that there was already a character named Boogie, the original name he wanted for Buggy. However, he didn't even mention the title of the movie. Kinda odd if that was one of his favorite movies that he wouldn't even mention the name, huh?
@ultimateclima:

Usopp will wet his pants and Robin will have a funny face

no, its not possible : don't forget they must follow a log post, they have to pass through the florian triangle to travel between W7 and Mermen Island.
What I'm waiting for is another ghost ship. and every one is affraid, including Brooke " haaaa ghosts…. wait I'm a ghost too !" the same way chooper called for a doctor in alabasta.
