## One Piece Chapter 455, pages 5-6: Shichibukai Gecko Moria - Chapter: 455 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Brook, Franky, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 5: Brook tells them how he searched the island. "I, who wanted to get out of this 'Florian Triangle' at any cost, went around this island thinking that maybe they had... the parts to fix my rudder. But all I found were monsters and zombies." Eventually, he says, he was caught and brought to a building. Inside, he saw "the struggling dancer who had been caught before me," and "a patched corpse they called 'Mario.'" Brook remembers the moment the horror became clear: "When I looked up, a scary, big man appeared and... he pulled the man's shadow off of the floor!! And he cut it off!!!" Franky and Robin listen as Brook describes the impossible sight of a man's shadow being severed like a physical thing. Page 6: Franky struggles to understand what Brook saw. "He cut off... his shadow...!?" Brook says he would have doubted his own eyes too, but the truth followed quickly. He shouts, "Don't have eyes—!!!" and Franky yells, "Stop it or I'll hit you, you bastard!!!" Robin calmly notes, "You can hit him now." Brook continues: "I soon followed the same fate, but... the person whose shadow was taken fell, and his cut off shadow... was pushed into the motionless 'Mario.'" For some reason, that corpse that should have been dead began to move. The lesson is terrible and precise: the dead bodies are not alive, but they are animated by the stolen shadows of living people.
