"One Piece" Events:
———————————
"You stopped him completely... What did you do!?" Franky was still trapped inside the dead giant gorilla's spiderweb, but he had already begun to try to escape.
Brook answered calmly: "I purified him."
Suddenly, one of the mouse spiders pointed to Brook and exclaimed in shock: "... Look!! It's definitely him... 'Humming'...!!! The man who messed up Thriller Bark five years ago!!!"
Brook: "..."
"We need to inform the master!!!"
Brook paid no attention to the spiders running away, but instead looked at Franky and weakly informed him of the weakness of the spiderweb: "HAAAAAAA, This spider web is strong against "Power" but weak against fire."
Following Brook's advice, Franky immediately began blowing fire from his mouth: "That's true. It loosens up."
After freeing himself from the spiderweb, Franky looked at Brook and asked him his questions: "Straw Hat and the others were kidnapped!! It seems that you know a lot about this island."
Brook nodded in agreement, he already knew a lot about this ship-island. "Yes, but... Where should I start?"
"If they have already been caught, there is a high chance that we're already too late."
Hearing this, Franky had an angry reaction, what does this skeleton mean that they're already too late? "WHAAT!!? Too late, you say!!?"
Brook quickly tried to calm Franky's violent mood, but quickly went south: "Pl-Please don't shout so much. My ears will start ringing!!"
"But wait. Since I'm a skeleton, I don't have ears!! YOHOHO!! Skull joke!!"
Franky's face shot his hand towards the skeleton, ready to smash him whith his silly jokes. "...!!!"
Robin: "Stop it, He's already dead."
Brook: "—— Anyways, Please listen without fooling around."
This time Franky's anger rose even more, who is fooling around at this moment !!? " ...!!! "
Robin also became more serious in preventing Fanky from exploding Brook: "Stop it. He's already dead."
Brook lifted his hat from his forehead before starting to talk: "As I said before, there was a time when my ship's rudder didn't work, and I drifted all alone in the sea for dozens of years..."
"As much as I wanted to escape from this "Devil Sea, the rudder was broken, so I was just drifting with the tides."
"Then, by chance... I arrived here five years ago."
"I was lured onto this Thriller Bark, just like you ladies and gentlemen..."
"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. —— In the end, I was caught and brought to that building."
Franky: "..."
Brook continued: "What I saw inside was... The struggling dancer who had been caught before me, and... A patched corpse they called Mario, —— 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!!!
Robin: "!?"
Franky: "He cut off... His shadow...!?"
Brook answered, regretting it: "I would have doubted my eyes too... But I... Don't HAVE EYES———!!! "
Franky exploded with anger: "Stop it or I'll hit you, you bastard!!! "
Even Robin gave him permission to hit him: "You can hit him now."

West Blue, Ohara:
Inside art store:
"HAHAHAHAHA!!"
"GHAHGHAHGHAH!!"
"KAHAHAHAHA!!!"
"Hahahah! I'm laughing so hard!! Skull jokes are funny! Hahahaha!!"
"Franky lost control! Hahahaha!"
"Even Robin, who is hard to get angry, is made to laugh by Brook's skull jokes! My stomach hurts! Hahahaha!!"
Everyone laughed hard inside the Ohara's art store, not just Ohara, similar scenes and conversations were repeated in all the art stores in the pirate world.
The lightness of the skeleton's blood caused many people to laugh.
This scene was reflected in Brook's eyes who was looking at many people who laughed because of the previous scene in the manga.
Complicated feelings were reflected on his face, but in the end, he smiled and started laughing hard until tears from laughing flowed freely.
"Yohohohoho! This time I already have tears."
...
West Blue, Thriller Bark Island:
After accepting the invitation of the World Government to become one of the Shichibukai in their ranks, Moria continued reading the manga with anxiety.
Accepting the invitation of the World Government means that he decided to consider Sky Sword Rob as an enemy, since he and the World Government are enemies.
Moria took this decision because of the deep hatred he had for Rob... He will never forget that day when Rob humiliated him and made him laugh in madness just for his own enjoyment.
Since that day Moria has strongly hated Rob as his greatest enemy, but he didn't dare to act against him.
Especially after getting one of his enemy's shops, Moria believed that Rob does not know about him yet, and if he does, he will definitely reclaim it.
Therefore Moria quickly came up with a plan to convert Thriller Bark into a ship as soon as possible and run away, so that Rob couldn't reclaim his shop at that time.
"I will never go to the Devil's Sea again! Keeeshishishi!"
"The world is vast, there are many mysterious places like Florian Triangle, this time all thanks to you, I will avoid all future accidents! I will quietly develop far away from the eyes using the great ideas you gave me from 'Solo Leveling'..."
"Then after many years when I become strong enough, I will come back to kill you! Keeeshishishishi~"
"But I will kill Kaido first! And that old hag Shiki who looks from his interactions with Kaido on the forum as if they formed an alliance..."
After acknowledging his plans and laughing at the content of his heart, Moria returned to reading the manga.
"You are the scary one here, you skeleton freak!"
After reading what Brook said about him, Moria almost flipped the table in anger, but he remembered that doing so would cost him safety points with the smart shop and enable him to control his anger.
"Do it! Hit him this time, Franky, I support you too!"
"Keshishishi~ I really hit him! I'm happy to see the skeleton freak suffer."
"Curse! My abilities have become a general encyclopedia… This is bad!"
Seeing Brook talking about the 'Kage Kage no Mi' and its ability to steal shadows of people and move dead bodies through it, in addition to exploiting the feature of the surgical companion to create perfect bodies, made Moria's face turn green from anger.
"I need that now… I must change the way I develop my fruit abilities to a completely different direction or else I won't be able to threaten anyone as long as all my secrets are now revealed in the manga."
"Damnit!"
...
West Blue, Ilka Island:
Jigoro glared at the events of the manga with eyes full of anger.
Is this his fate in the future!?
"Death after killing 7000 pirates to protect my family is a brave death, I would be happy to die that way… Until now, I've killed 1000 pirates only out of 7000 at the age of 56 years..."
"Or to put it more accurately, it was supposed to happen if it weren't for the existence of the shop."
Since Jigoro was able to deduce such scary facts, there is no shortage of smart people on Ilka Island... This is why many people breathed a sigh of relief after reaching the same conclusion.
Rob completely saved Ilka Island just as he did with Ohara (From Buster Call), and Wano (From the results of the battle with Imu).
