[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Florian Triangle, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Black continued to drive into the mist of Florian Triangle. While some were afraid of what Luffy had said, others didn't care.

Soon darkness began to take over everything, as the sun disappeared, leaving only darkness amid that mysterious sea.

"Ready, guys? Don't worry, this will be a great adventure," Luffy commented as he saw Nami clutching her sister, trembling with fear.

"Has it gotten dark already?" Lami stepped out onto the deck at that moment, looking around.

"How strange, it doesn't seem like night..." Reiju followed soon after, lighting a cigarette. They didn't seem as quarrelsome now as they were a few hours ago.

Meanwhile, the other members were yelling at Luffy, since their captain had said this madness seemed like a great adventure.

"A great adventure, Luffy? You said we're going to find a living skeleton. That's not funny," Usopp shouted, no longer appearing as the fearless pirate of the sea who could transform into a dragon that uses the element of light.

"Haha, don't worry. You'll like him," Luffy replied, still keeping the mystery, he didn't mind saying something like that, which others would question later why he knew this.

"What do you mean 'you'll like him'?" A part of his crew shouted at the same time with comic faces.

"Hey, those are parts of ships!" Nami pointed to the sea, and shipwrecks, like broken wood, masts, bows, and various other parts were floating in the sea at that moment, making her swallow hard.

"You're a woman who can create a typhoon that can devastate an island, I don't know why you're so afraid." Luffy observed with a raised eyebrow, believing Nami's fear was exaggerated.

"There are certain things a woman is afraid of!" She exclaimed to him.

"Haha. Don't worry, your husband will protect you," Luffy said with a smile.

Usopp had entered the kitchen with Chopper in the middle of that discussion and returned with a bunch of artifacts that would be used against any mystical and ghostly entity, using garlic, crosses, salt, and all sorts of things, even incense.

It wasn't just him, Chopper was almost dressed as a priest, making Luffy laugh. "Hahahahaha. What an exaggeration!" He didn't even notice when Franky and the animals used all kinds of items, wanting to protect themselves against any living skeleton that Luffy had talked about.

Luffy laughed, and Yamato joined in with him. "This is funny!"

"I also want to use something like that, it looks so fun!" Shirahoshi exclaimed, grabbing a garlic necklace.

"Stop it... This place is too scary..." Vivi trembled with fear in a corner.

"Another wind user afraid..." Luffy murmured, and when he was going to calm his wife, he saw something strange behind the last two women to come out of the ship. "Lami, Reiju, there's a ghost behind you!" Luffy pointed at the women who were a little surprised and a bit afraid.

"Stop it, Luffy!" Vivi exclaimed, making a face.

"This isn't funny," Lami said, making Luffy see that the woman was afraid, despite her strength, it seemed like she was afraid of ghosts.

"It's serious, there's a ghost behind you!" Luffy insisted.

"Who's the idiot who's going to look at that?" Reiju commented, lighting her cigarette.

"Well, it's serious. There's a ghost behind you, Fufufu." Robin commented approaching Luffy with a giggle.

"Is this a ghost?! It's so cute!" Shirahoshi approached him and commented.

"Really?! Let me see!" Yamato also got involved, looking at the ghost with admiration.

Hearing all those comments, Lami and Reiju began to believe in Luffy's words and being two curious ones, they turned around and really saw a small ghost there swinging its body, while looking at everyone with a smile.

"..." Lami.

"..." Reiju.

"Ghost!!" Both Lami and Reiju screamed.

Chouchou approached and began to bark at the ghost, and advanced against the ghostly intruder, passing through its body. Then everyone watched stunned, as Chouchou lowered its head in depression and began to speak something in the dog's language.

"Should I have been born a flea?!" Yamato understanding his language like Luffy, echoed his words bewildered.

"It seems that ghosts have a negative effect, don't touch it." Luffy spoke as everyone began to completely move away from that thing, while the swordsmen already grabbed their swords to fight.

"Neeee!!! So scary!" Hachi commented with his 6 swords in hand.

"Then this is one of Perona's ghosts...?" Luffy murmured without anyone hearing. The ghost looked at him and suddenly entered the deck, disappearing.

"What the hell is going on?" Usopp and Chopper were scared at that moment, starting to spread things around the ship to scare anything from the ship.

"I said this was a bad idea!" Nami started crying with Vivi.

"Luffy, are you sure we're okay here?" Nojiko spoke with a raised eyebrow.

"Don't worry about it... he's gone, but soon we'll see more." Luffy said with a confident smile.

"She didn't ask that!" Kuina complained.

"Let my husband handle everything, he always knows what he's doing!" Alvida spoke beside.

"And what do you mean 'soon we'll see more'? Who wants to see that?" everyone shouted together at Luffy.

"Look... there's something approaching, finally a ghost ship is coming!" Luffy changed the subject pointing to the fog in front of him, where a shadow began to form, soon seen in the shape of a ship, as big as the Blackberry from the movie.

"Why do you look so happy!" Uta shouted at the captain.

"Ghost ships!!" Usopp and Chopper screamed, running away, while the animals seemed to be afraid too.

"Is there a fighting ghost there?" Zoro spoke, hoping for a challenge.

"What kind of question is that?" Kuina complained.

"..." Hugo was silent the whole time, while crossing his arms looking at the ship.

The ship approached as the members who were more afraid prepared for all sorts of things while dressing up as priests. It didn't take long for the ship to finally emerge, with wood of tens of years, rotten and roaring with the sway of the sea. The ship continued to approach and stood beside the Black Pearl as everyone looked attentively here and suddenly, they saw that on the ship there was indeed a skeleton looking at them from the edge of the ship, while remaining still.

Everyone was stunned by that, except Luffy who already knew him, and Chouchou stood up and looked at the skeleton with shining eyes.

The skeleton noticed the dog's gaze and seemed to sweat with that. Luffy saw that there was silence and decided to break it.

"Hello, you skeleton," Luffy greeted while everyone looked stunned, thinking their captain lost his sanity talking to a skeleton planted next to the ship to scare those passing through all that fog.

The skeleton, surprising everyone, slowly moved his head towards Luffy, leaving everyone stunned at that moment. "Hello..." He greeted him dryly.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"There really is a talking skeleton!" Everyone exclaimed seeing that Luffy was right.

"What is that?"

"Please help me!"

"Bless me!"

"Deliver me from this evil!"

The pirates began to pray and make expressions trying to protect themselves from that evil.

"How can you be?" Luffy asked again.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking, and you?" The skeleton asked.

"That's good, I'm fine." Luffy spoke as if having a casual conversation from the prow where he was.

"Why is he also talking to the skeleton." Yamato asked.

"That is a skeleton... How can he find that normal!" Vivi exclaimed.

"Calm down, he must be a user who ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi." Luffy said.

"Yes, exactly." The skeleton commented and suddenly looked at Luffy again. "Hey, how do you know that?!" He exclaimed with admiration.

"I read the manual of akuma no mi, I know a lot about them." Luffy shrugged. Everyone swallowed that, except Robin, who knew her husband.

"Anyway..." Luffy began jumping from his ship to the ghost ship. "Why don't we start our introductions?" Luffy said with a smile while the skeleton was surprised with the approach, after so many years of not talking to anyone, it would be good to chat a little.

Reiju approached Luffy, and landed beside him, with Lami on the other using his Room. "We'll have to take care of this man, otherwise he might do some madness." Reiju spoke.

"I have to agree with you." Lami said swallowing her pride.

"Don't be like that, I won't do anything too much..." Luffy said approaching the skeleton.

"Hello, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, the future emperor of the 7 seas." He commented, extending his hand.

"I'm Brook!" The skeleton said as he shook his hand, but was surprised by Luffy's declaration. "Emperor of the 7 seas?!" He asked.

"That's right, do you want to join my crew? It would be good to have a skeleton with us, I'm all for diversity." Luffy said with a smile.

"Hm... Okay." The skeleton spoke.

Reiju and Lami were shocked by this development while they couldn't do anything to stop their captain.

"What are you doing?!" They exclaimed, but Luffy just shrugged.

"He's our new crew member, tell me, what are you good at, Brook?" He asked.

"I'm a musician." He said.

"See, we have a second musician!" Luffy celebrated.

"What do you mean!? We have a second Musician! You can't just invite people like that." The two exclaimed.

"Hm? What's that, you don't trust me?" Luffy looked at them with a small seductive smile.

Both blushed and nodded. "Yes, we trust you."

"Hm?" Brook approached Reiju. She looked confused and wary at the skeleton. "Excuse me, miss... Could you please show your..." Before he could finish, a fist collided against his skull, cracking it and sending him flying into the ship's cabin.

BOOOOM!!! The cabin of the ship exploded at that moment with Brook's body, leaving everyone on the other ship confused by this, while Reiju and Lami seemed shocked.

"How do you kill someone after inviting them to the crew!" Both grimaced.

Luffy didn't respond and disappeared, Brook seemed to have received the worst punch of his life, he was cracked wondering how that happened, while before reacting, Luffy appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the bone neck.

"What are you doing?!" He exclaimed, stunned.

"Listen to this, skeleton." Luffy began with a tone that made Brook shiver. "Try using that phrase again with any woman I know, and I will flay your skin, even though you don't have any." Luffy spoke.

"Yohohohoho!" Brook started to laugh finding Luffy's speech very funny, but then realized the man in front of him was serious. "No!! Help me! I swear I won't do it again!!" He exclaimed, scared in the end.

"That's good... now let's see the others." Luffy said with a more satisfied smile, while dropping Brook's neck to the ground again as he was all cracked, he didn't want to face this man's wrath again, swallowing hard, even though he didn't have a throat for that.
