## One Piece Chapter 443, pages 8-9: Thriller Bark - Chapter: 443 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Brook, Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Robin, Franky ### Summary Page 8: The dining room erupts again. Someone cries, "HE'S... A VAM-PIRE??" while Usopp stammers, "!!?" and "AND..." But Brook tells them to look at the floor, not the mirror: "LOOK CAREFULLY, YOU DON'T HAVE A SHADOW!!" The crew sees that no shadow falls beneath him. Usopp shouts, "UWAH! IT'S TRUE!! WHAT ARE YOU??" Sanji snaps, "HOW CAN YOU BE THAT CALM?" and Usopp complains, "WE'RE MAKING ALL THIS RACKET BECAUSE OF YOU!!" Brook merely sits with tea, making a quiet "SLUUURP," while Zoro watches in silence: "..." Page 9: Brook finally says, "I'LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING NOW..." Since he began drifting on this sea, "IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME..." and he makes the point plainly: "BEING A SKELETON... AND NOT HAVING A SHADOW... ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS." Luffy listens in rare silence: "..." Brook reveals the truth in pieces: "SOME YEARS AGO..." "A MAN SNATCHED AWAY MY SHADOW..." Luffy explodes, "TELL US EVERYTHING NOW!!" Brook jokes, "TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER." Nami asks, "YOUR SHADOW...?" Brook says, "YOU'RE A TALKING SKELETON." Then he explains why this is more serious than it sounds: "BUT IT COULD. A SHADOW BEING STOLEN... IT MEANS THAT I CANNOT EXIST IN A WORLD WITH LIGHT." He adds, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY. IT WON'T SURPRISE US ANYMORE, RIGHT?"
