Brook (One Piece)
Brook (Japanese: ブルック, Hepburn: Burukku), widely known as "Soul King" Brook, is a fictional character in the manga series One Piece, created and written by artist Eiichiro Oda. The character made his first appearance in the 442nd chapter of the series, which was first published in Japan in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on January 29, 2007. He is the ninth member of the Straw Hat Pirates and the eighth to join, serving as their musician. "Soul King" Brook was brought back to life by the Revive Revive Fruit and is a world-renowned rock star who can play any instrument.
Seventy years before the present, Brook was the leader of a battle convoy in the kingdom of Esperia[ch. 1183] before becoming the musician swordsman and later captain of the Rumbar Pirates. Fifty-two years ago before the current story, the Rumbar Pirates left their pet the infant whale Laboon at Reverse Mountain and promised Laboon to return for him after they circumnavigated the world.[ch. 487]. The Rumbar Pirates were killed in the misty Florian Triangle but Brook was brought back to life by the Devil Fruit he previously ate. Decades later, Brook loses his shadow to the pirate Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, forcing Brook to stay out of the sunlight or face disintegration.
Five years later, Monkey D. Luffy recruits Brook to join the Straw Hats after restoring his shadow. Brook's goal is to circle the Grand Line and return to Reverse Mountain, reuniting with the whale, Laboon, and fulfilling the promise the Rumbar Pirates made. Within two years, "Soul King Brook" becomes a globally renowned rock star. Brook then returns to the Straw Hats, and steals a crucial piece of Big Mom's treasure which helps reveal the location of the One Piece. After Luffy becomes recognized as an Emperor of the Sea, Brook is named one of Luffy's nine commanders.
A living skeleton thanks to the Revive Revive Fruit, Brook "yearns to reunite with his long-lost crewmate, the whale Laboon. He is the oldest member of the crew and a skilled jokester." Brook's backstory and goal reflects the three main themes of One Piece: dreams, freedom, and friendship. Though Brook did not appear in the story until 2007, the idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in 2000, about the time of Laboon's introduction. This was seven years before the first appearance of Brook. Oda's concept art shows Brook originally had a western cowboy hat instead of an afro. This design was later incorporated as Yorki's cowboy hat instead.
Brook is a combination of a gentlemanly persona and a perverted sort. He speaks in a dignified, educated manner at most times, but has amazingly bad manners. He burps and farts at dinner, casually asks to see women's panties, and picks in other peoples' food, to name only a few. He takes being a skeleton lightly, using any chance he can to joke about it. However, his backstory from Thriller Bark became the most tragic moment for Brook when he lost his crewmate along the journey before being stranded at the Florian Triangle. Brook endure his time of loneliness for fifty years by expressing his passion of music, jokes, amorous habits, and his value of life. Brook expressing his remorse on abandoning Laboon at the Twin Capes and wishes to see him again believing he had failed to fulfill his promise. When Luffy offers him to join the crew, Brook accepts his offer with tearful relief and join the Strawhat for his dream of reuniting with Laboon after his adventure across the Grand Line. After the Thriller Bark Arc, Brook become loyal to the Straw Hats on accomplishing their dreams. Despite his eccentric behavior, Brook is shown to be extremely upright and compassionate person befitting of a true gentleman, as Brook utterly disdains wickedness and cruelty.
Brook ate the Revive-Revive Fruit, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which enhances the user's soul to the point where they resurrect after their first death. He can possess his own deceased body which allows him to animate his body which he cannot feel injuries or attacks. He even demonstrated a new form of Devil Fruit ability that allows his soul to leave the body, usually by exiting his mouth and move it everywhere he wants to. After his separation from the Straw Hats, Brook learns how to use his Devil Fruit ability to leave his skeleton body and explore his surroundings as a disembodied soul.[ch. 629]
He carries a shikomizue, a Japanese cane sword, and is skilled in its use. He can also combine his shikomizue and violin to create sound-based attacks. Seventy years ago, at the age of 20, he led the raider squad of the battle convoy in the kingdom of Esperia, famed for his "three-pace hum notch slash", whose speed leaves its victims unaware they have been cut.[ch. 1183] Brook claims he can heal from most fractures to his body by drinking milk. His head can also be opened up and used as a storage device. Brook uses an unnamed fencing sword style and is a skilled fencer who can use quick stabs because of his skeleton anatomy. In addition to his sword skill, Brook's lightweight skeleton body gives him great speed and the ability to jump extraordinarily high. His body is so light that he is even capable of running on water. However, Brook is still powerless if submerged in water, like all Devil Fruit users, and will sink if he stops running.
Brook is an excellent musician, displaying the ability to play any instrument at a highly skilled level. He is usually seen playing the violin.[ch. 486] Brook can even influence people with his music to the point of making them fall asleep.[ch. 454] While separated from the other Straw Hats, and incognito as "Soul King" Brook, he gains world fame, filling concert halls with fans.[ch. 600] He is also a skilled fencer who uses a shikomizue (a Japanese cane sword) in battle.[ch. 454] His reduced weight allows him to jump extraordinarily high and to run across water.[ch. 443, 493] Eventually, Brook learns how to use his Devil Fruit ability to leave his skeleton body and explore his surroundings as a disembodied soul.[ch. 629]
