[@Teotimo3AuxteroDesik]

why hasn't anybody commented on this?

[@elenak.4281]

"I'll sing for you when the sun rises" this one quote has so many layers. Not just the conversation, not just the main team of Thriller bark arc, but for the global plotline... No wonder Oda wrote Bink's Sake even before One Piece and Romance dawn. In my personal opinion the Thriller bark arc is one big metaphor for One Piece as whole

[@coro4024]

This is in my humble opinion the saddest backstory of the Straw Hats. When he says duet and starts to break so do I and then the pain in his voice when he says solo.

[@gelusvenn5063]

The first time I saw this backstory, I ugly cried. Even now, after tens of times, a little still leaks out. It's just that well written. Also, the fact that the Rhumbar pirates took a standard phrase for someone awful "Enough to make a crying child go silent" and turned it into "Who make even crying children laugh", just goes to show you what kind of people they were. Also, Jack, your emotional reactions have my respect, mad respect. The honesty of 'em is refreshing.

[@y0sh_]

in relation to the beginning of the great pirate era, the rumbar pirates were active 30 years before Roger died. Brook even mentions later on that Roger was an up and coming rookie pirate during his time

[@jean-philippedoyon9904]

Brook's backstory is top 5 saddest one in all of One Piece. 50 years of loneliness on a ghost ship with the last piece of music played by his crew to keep him kinda sane...Luffy just have a crazy ability to found broken toys and lost souls for his crew...

[@doge_69]

it's top 1 for me

[@GrandlineClips]

definitely on top for me. i havent cried this hard on a characters backstory my whole life.

[@markjaysonmendoza473]

"Bink's Brew" evokes a unique mix of emotions for me, giving me goosebumps, as it blends happiness and sadness into one beautiful melody. It's like I'm listening to the joyful souls of the departed, the people of the sea, celebrating their lives with this hauntingly beautiful tune.

[@Ghazan_MonkeyKingLuffy]

THIS MAN REALLY KNOWS HOW TO CRY HIMSELF AND HOW TO MAKE US CRY :(

[@misteryio3990]

If the Strawhats really follow the log pose, it's definitely going to take about the same 3 years that Rumbar pirates did. It's just that they were on express ever since entering Grandline. Do remember that Little Garden takes 1 year to capture the next island. Thankfully they had eternal pose.

[@corvus6381]

This scene from Brook's story brought tears to my eyes. It's a poignant tale of the unwavering brotherhood that took a tragic turn during their journey without their captain by their side. I sincerely hope that in the final scene of One Piece, after they've accomplished their mission and Brook has reunited with Laboon, he won't have to face his demise after fulfilling his promise to his dear friend.

[@mimailnoanda]

I don't blame you, even watching it again made me WAY too emotional. It's a beautiful story.

[@IceAokiji303]

You asked about the timeline. Brook's flashback started 50 years back. Roger died and started the great pirate era 22 years ago, at the age of 53. When Brook was pirating with his old crew, Roger was still a 25-year old rookie pirate.

[@the_Nameless_One99]

IMO, of all the backstories we have seen (Usopp's, Nami's, Chopper's, Franky's, and Robin's) and of all we will see in the future, Brook's is the saddest by far!! Imagine, just IMAGINE staying alone for half a CENTURY, all for a promise you want to keep. Naruto was so thankful to Iruka and Team 7 for protecting him from the one thing he feared the most - loneliness!! Brook must have suffered sooo much, and for sooo long!!! Damn!

[@RutabegaNG]

Agree, I thought so too

[@AdmiralHawkes64]

they don't really say it in the anime, but I believe Oda "the creator" said that when you eat a devil fruit which only has to be a single bite you instantly learn its name and most basic ability. It's up to the eater to develop the techniques from there. For example, Chopper ate his fruit and learned it was the Human Human Fruit and that it transform to have the abilities of a human but he used his medical knowledge and intelligence to develop the rumble ball and other forms.

Yorki falling ill and having to leave the Grand Line is why Crocus thought the Rumbar Pirates abandonned their promise to Laboon and ran away. Brook was already an eccentric person when he was alive but 50 years of solitude and isolation with his only company being the bones of his former crew drove him mad. It's, in fact, a wonder, he isn't even more insane than he is when Luffy meets him.
