## One Piece Chapter 722, pages 20-21: The Bloodline of Royalty - Chapter: 722 - Pages: 20-21 - Characters: Brook, Jora, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami ### Summary Page 20: Jora brings the threat to a deadline: "At which point your lives will end!!!" Brook suddenly asks with theatrical courtesy, "How truly magnificent!! Please allow me to provide some musical accompaniment!!" Jora, delighted, asks whether Soul King would really be so kind. Brook requests his violin and bow: "Could you please return my violin and bow to me!! I'd like my violin, Jora-san!" She gives them back and tells him, "Here you go! Show me what you've got, brotha!!" Chopper, near fainting, mutters, "Ahh I'm losing consciousness... I don't wanna die." The page keeps the trick hidden just long enough: Brook appears to be indulging Jora's art, but he has maneuvered her into returning his weapon. Page 21: Brook reveals the deception. After Jora returns the violin and bow, he says, "My violin bow is in fact a cane sword... Got it, got it. Now play something good." Jora asks whether he has already made the cut, and Brook answers, "Of course! I've already made the cut." He names the technique "Painter's Song... Hitoyogiri!!!" and slashes through Jora before she can react. She screams "Gyahhh!!" while the transformed ship and captives recoil. A note explains the pun in Hitoyogiri, but Brook's meaning is simple: he never lost control. He says, "Because my eyes... are just empty sockets!!! I'm sorry. I guess I don't really have an eye for art." Nami and Chopper cry, "Brook!!!"
