Loot

Left alone on the upper deck, with only frozen statues of pirates and the familiar fog giving him company.

He decided to venture inside the cabin, entering through the hole led during his crash, he saw people, put in cages like animals.

Judging that most of the prisoners were either children or females, he guessed that they were probably captives who were going to be sold as slaves.

Looking at the group of shivering captives, he glanced at them and without doing anything, walked past them.

On another hand, feeling the gaze of the skeleton the captives lowered their gaze and held their breath.

Though, among the captives, a child of around 8-9 years old looked at him with fear evident in his eyes. Although the child was afraid and shivering like the rest of the captives. He was defiant or simply ignorant enough to make eye contact with Brook.

As Brook was entering the lower cabin, he used observation haki to search the cabins.

Finding nothing of significance in the cabinets except some weapons and firearms. He collected everything he wanted and moved on to the kitchen. There were mostly liquor, meat, and some dry foods for emergency rations.

Looking at the food he was a bit disappointed, as he didn't find any milk.

After that, he searched for other important things using his observation haki.

While using his observation haki, he found something interesting, in one of the dorm rooms there were around 30 men, huddled in a bundle. Who were most likely people of lower positions in the crew.

Ignoring them he took all the money, weapons gold, and liquor and stored them in a huge chest used to carry treasure.

He froze the outer surface of the chest along with other smaller chests and gathered them together turning it into a big block of ice.

Looking at the size of the ice block he was able to deduce that it would not pass through the door.

Sighing he looked towards the ceiling and punched a hole through it.

Jumping out of the ceiling through the hole, along with the block of ice. He gathered everything frozen in a location along with the crew and captain.

Standing on the deck of the ship he looked at a corner and noticed the brown-haired guy, lying on a crashed wall.

Due to his minuscule movements, he had observed using observation haki, he knew the guy was acting unconscious despite not being one.

He went to the guy, grabbed him by his neck, and held him up by his neck, bringing his head close to his skull he whispered menacingly 'How about we have a friendly talk, brat'.

The brown-haired guy opened his eyes feeling the cold touch on his neck.

As he opened his eyes, he was greeted with the cold whisper of the skeleton, staring at him with his hollow black sockets.

The pirate scared and breathless, begged in a choking voice" I will do as you say, just put me down first."

Despite his begging, the skeleton continued to stare at him, slowly tightening his grip around his throat.

As his body started to convulse, the pirate in a desperate attempt took out his sword and slashed at him. Despite that, there was no reaction from the skeleton.

Seeing that his attack had no effect, he started swinging his speed faster with more desperation to it.

Despite all his attempts, the skeleton did not bulge. As he was getting more desperate and about to pass out, he was thrown in the direction of the cage.

He spat out blood, as his body crashed on the cage breaking his bones.

As he barely opened his bloodshot eyes a skeleton slowly walked towards him with a steady step. There was a cold aura seeping out of the hollow bones.

Remembering the fates of his crew mates and captain who were toyed with, the realization dawned on him that, he was about to die, in a desperate attempt he held his sword high using both his hands.

Filled with a desperate attempt to live, he shouted with a voice filled with anger.

"Die you monster"

The moment he swung his sword a horizontal flying slash appeared and flew towards the skeleton.

The skeleton acting a bit surprised, simply raised his index finger and pointed it toward the slash.

As the slash strikes the finger. It stopped abruptly, slowly it started to diminish in size completely disappearing.
