## One Piece Chapter 443: Thriller Bark - Chapter: 443 - Pages: 0-17 - Characters: Enel, Brook, Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Robin ### Summary Page 0: Chapter 443: "Thriller Bark" opens with Enel's Great Space Mission Vol. 13, "Big Explosion." On the moon's barren surface, a tremendous blast erupts with the sound "DOKKAH-N!!" while Enel stands before the destruction, observing the aftermath of the explosion. Page 1: In the thick fog of the Devil's Sea, Brook's ruined ghost ship drifts beside the Thousand Sunny. From the darkness comes his singsong laugh: "YOHOHO HOHO!!!" He steps forward with a theatrical bow and announces, "A CHEERFUL GREETING!!!" Then the skeleton with an afro opens his mouth wide and introduces himself: "I'M 'DEAD-BONES' BROOK!! NICE TO MEET YOU!!" He politely adds, "HELLO, EVERYONE! HOW DO YOU DO? SEEMS LIKE MY SHIP AND I CAUSED SOME TROUBLE." The Straw Hats recoil in horror and confusion: "ARE YOU JOKING!!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY!!?" Brook only laughs back, "YOHOHO, DON'T BE SO HARSH!!" Page 2: The crew's panic bursts all at once. Chopper cries, "IT'S A SKELETON!!!" while Usopp and Chopper pray desperately, "BEGONE FOUL SPIRIT, BEGONE FOUL SPIRIT!!" Usopp tries to convince himself, "REALLY? I'M GLAD IT'S JUST A DREAM!" and insists, "THERE'S NO REASON FOR A SKELETON TO TALK, WALK, OR WEAR AN AFRO!! THIS IS A DREAM, IT'S JUST A DREAM!" Brook immediately turns to Nami and asks, "OH, HELLO, YOUNG LADY! COULD YOU LET ME SEE YOUR PANTIES?" Nami kicks him away: "STOP THAT, YOU PERVERTED SKELETON!" Luffy, meanwhile, has already decided, "HE'S FUNNY, SO I MADE HIM OUR NAKAMA." Sanji protests, "HEY, LUFFY!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY??" and Luffy snaps, "I WON'T ACCEPT THAT!!" As Brook cheerfully says, "YOHOHOHO! WELL, IT'S NOT GETTING ANY WARMER OUT HERE!" Luffy calls, "LET'S GO INSIDE THE SHIP!!!" and "LET'S HAVE DINNER!!!" while Nami shouts after him, "DON'T GO DECIDING BY YOURSELF!!!" Sanji and Nami are left embarrassed: "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO STOP LUFFY FROM RUNNING WILD!!" "WHY DO YOU THINK YOU WENT WITH HIM?" They bow their heads: "WE'RE ASHAMED." Page 3: Inside the Thousand Sunny, Brook marvels at the dining room with the wonder of a man who has not known a proper home in years. Franky beams, "YOU HAVE GOOD EYES, INDEED." Brook admires the ship: "THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SHIP, YOHOHO!" Franky proudly answers, "THAT'S RIGHT. 'SUPER' FRANKY MADE THIS SHIP!" Brook keeps praising it: "AND THE KITCHEN, TOO!" and "OH, SUCH A WONDERFUL DINING ROOM!" Sanji warns, "DON'T BE SO FRIENDLY WITH HIM, FRANKY." Brook says, "BUT IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD START EATING." He adds that it has been "DECADES SINCE I'VE HAD A PROPER MEAL..." and explains his hunger with a skull joke: "EVERY DAY I'VE BEEN LIVING WITH THIS PAIN, AS THOUGH THE SKIN OF MY BELLY AND MY BACK WERE STUCK TOGETHER." Then, cackling, he corrects himself: "BUT OF COURSE, I DON'T HAVE SKIN ON MY BELLY," and "OR ON MY BACK!! YOHOHO HO!!" "SKULL-JOKE!!" Robin quietly notes, "I LOVE HOW UNCONCERNED THAT SOUNDS..." Brook sits politely and says, "SINCE I'M A GENTLE-MAN, I'LL WAIT FOR THE MEAL!" Page 4: Brook and Luffy pound the table in perfect rhythm, chanting, "DINNE~~~~R" and "DINNE~~~~R" while Sanji roars, "SHUT UP AND WAIT QUIETLY!! I'M MAKING IT! PLEASE DRINK YOUR MILK IN THE MEANTIME." Even before introductions are settled, Brook asks Luffy, "BY THE WAY, WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU?" Luffy answers simply, "I'M LUFFY." Brook realizes, "I DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME YET..." Luffy struggles with Brook's name as "KOROPOK-KURU..." and Brook answers, "I'M BROOK. UMM..." with the footnote "MYTHICAL AINU DWARF GOD." Sanji fumes, "YOU TWO DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH OTHER!!!" Brook turns again to Nami with another indecent offer: "OH, YOUNG LADY, YOUR MEAT SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIGGER THAN MINE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE?" Nami snaps, "YOU CAN HAVE MORE, SO EAT YOUR OWN!!" Luffy happily urges him, "NMAHOOO! HEY, BROOK, EAT A LOT OF THIS; SANJI'S FOOD IS THE BEST!" Brook, moved by the feast, says, "I SHOULD WHAT...? INSTEAD OF MY STOMACH, MY HEART IS FULL..." The crew decides, "LET'S POSTPONE EVICTING THE SKELETON FOR A WHILE." Brook answers, "IT'S TIME TO EAT." Page 5: After the meal, the plates are empty and the crew begins to question Brook. Someone asks, "A DEVIL'S FRUIT, RIGHT?" Brook names it: "YOMI-YOMI NO MI"? A note explains, "YOMI-GAERU IS THE VERB FOR RESURRECT." Brook says, "THE TRUTH IS, I ALREADY DIED SOME DECADES AGO!" Nami confirms, "THAT'S RIGHT!" and Sanji scolds Luffy, "FIRST, CLEAN YOUR FACE. HOW CAN YOU BE SO DIRTY AFTER EATING?" Brook explains, "IN SHORT, THE YOMI-YOMI NO MI DEVIL FRUIT HAS THE POWER OF REVIVAL. I WAS PROMISED THAT I COULD LIVE A SECOND TIME AS A 'REVIVED HUMAN'." The idea sounds marvelous to Luffy: "OH, HOW WONDERFUL THAT ABILITY SEEMED!" Brook then reveals the cost of his past: "I WAS A PIRATE IN THOSE OLD TIMES." "ON THE SHIP YOU SAW EARLIER." "I CAME TO THIS 'DEVIL'S SEA' ALONG WITH MY NAKAMA." Sanji int...
