@God:
Wow, you guys really didn't get the question. I'm asking what do you think Law does to get Doflamingo to let him rejoin before he officially betrays them at Punk Hazard?
I don't think he rejoins the Dofla family, but just keeps their hopes up so they don't go after his ass

oh, I never said Brook was sane, just that considering the known effects of solitary confinement he's coping well. :D
His goals of playing for Laboon, standing at an angle and coming up with the shittiest bone jokes imaginable gave him focus enough but when he first encountered Moriah he was much further gone. Having the five years to process the encounter and add getting his shadow back to his goals are the only things that calmed him down enough to be able to interact with the Straw Hats at all.
If this were a more realistic manga I'd expect nights of PTSD so bad his crewmates have to hold him down while he screams "NONE OF THIS IS REAL!"
Moria might have helped him finding something to fill that void for the time being, but the guy wasted a LONG time on that ship doing pretty much nothing, and like you said, If this manga was realistic I would have expected him to commit suicide within a week or so
I'm guessing Moriah fell apart too, after the rout and it was only dull thoughts of vengeance and becoming the PK that kept him going. One of the OP stories I doubt we'll see is how he recovered enough to begin another crew. Possibly a desperate Hogbark chases down a rumour of a recluse guarded by the dead? His meeting the shattered man and awakens him to the possibilities of an all-star corpse crew. However the story went I'd love to read it.
My mind is a little fuzzy about Moria, but did he ever mentioned that he wants to become pirate king or was he doing everything in order to take revenge on Kaido?
