## One Piece Chapter 443, pages 12-13: Thriller Bark - Chapter: 443 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Brook, Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, Zoro ### Summary Page 12: Brook thanks Luffy directly: "YOU INVITED ME TO BE YOUR NAKAMA!" "I'M REALLY GLAD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH." In the dining room he lifts both arms and says, "IF I HAD TEARS, I COULD CRY WITH HAPPINESS!!" "I'VE LIVED A LONG TIME!! PEOPLE ARE A DELIGHT!!" "FOR ME, YOU'RE MY DELIGHT!! YOHOHO!!" Then he breaks the happy mood: "BUT THE TRUTH IS, I SHOULD DECLINE." Luffy yells, "HEY! WHY??" Brook reminds them, "EARLIER, I TOLD YOU THAT MY SHADOW WAS STOLEN. MY BODY CANNOT LIVE UNDER THE SUN." For now he is safe only because of the fog of this Devil's Sea. Even if he left with them, "IT WOULD BE JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE MY BODY DISAPPEARED." His duty is clear: "I HAVE TO GET BACK MY SHADOW, WHICH IS STILL HERE." Until then, "I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A MIRACLE DAY!! YOHOHO!!" Page 13: Luffy refuses to leave Brook's problem alone. "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!? WE'RE NOT STRANGERS!!" he shouts. "IF THAT'S THE CASE, WE'LL GET YOUR SHADOW BACK!!!" "TELL ME WHO STOLE IT!!" Brook is moved but firm: "YOU'RE REALLY A GOOD PERSON. I'M SURPRISED." "EVEN THEN, I CANNOT TELL YOU THAT." Luffy presses him, "WHERE IS IT??" Brook answers, "NO, I WON'T SAY IT! YOU CAN'T MAKE ME! YOHOHO." The others argue that "IT WON'T HURT IF YOU JUST TELL US HIS NAME" and ask, "IS THE ENEMY SO STRONG?" Brook's reason is not cowardice. "I ONLY JUST MET YOU," he says. "YOU SHOULDN'T SAY THAT 'YOU'LL DIE FOR ME'." He does not know whether he can meet the man before his second life ends, but, "IF I CAN DO THAT, I'VE DECIDED THAT I WILL FIGHT HIM."
