Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 529

“Ah, why can’t you see it in the mirror?!”

Chopper and Usopp hugged Brook tightly, and looked up to see that Nami took out the mirror she carried with her. There were only two people in the mirror, not at all Brook in the middle.

Chopper and Usopp, two originally timid guys, jumped up in shock for a moment, and quickly hid behind their chairs.

Usopp, hiding behind the chair, couldn’t help seeing the ground, “Look, everyone, he doesn’t even have a shadow!”

Nami, who was holding the mirror, said nothing. She immediately hid behind Lin Tian. Zoro quickly pulled out his sword, Franky and Sanji all stood up, ready to do it at any time, even Robin.

They just thought that Brook had become like this because of Devil Fruit, but when they found that Brook couldn’t see it in the mirror.

The words that everyone believed in their minds were overturned in an instant. If it were Devil Fruit, how could it not even be reflected in the mirror, and there was still no shadow.

Only ghosts have these characteristics. In this case, Brook is likely to be a ghost in front of them, so everything he said before is wrong.

In the face of everyone’s surprise, Brook seemed very plain. He took the coffee in hand and drank it without any rush. After all, he possessed the characteristics that anyone would consider him a monster.

Wait for Brook’s gaze to sweep away and see Lin Tian who is directly opposite him, after eating the last octopus foot in the bowl very leisurely.

Brook was shocked, “How could it be that you are not afraid of me at all? I am a person without a shadow and a skeleton.”

“Hey, yeah, why are you not afraid, Lin Tian?” Upon hearing Brook’s reminder, Nami lifting looked towards Lin Tian and asked in confusion.

Everyone’s eyes moved Lin Tian involuntarily, putting down the knife and fork in his hand very calmly, Lin Tian raised his head and said: “The absence of a shadow does not mean that the person is a monster.”

Usopp was the first to disagree, holding the cross in his hand and said nervously: “How is it possible, Lin Tian, only monsters have no shadows, if they are really human, how can there be no shadows?”

Looking back towards Usopp, Lin Tian asked back: “If there is no shadow, it’s a monster? Then who is this guy who only has a skeleton and is still talking?”

“That’s…” Usopp immediately was speechless. The skeleton in front of him was able to speak and he was used to it. Why would they be afraid of a being without a shadow.

Da… Gently retracted sword and said a word, Zoro indifferently said: “Indeed, since even the skeleton can talk and jump, it’s not surprising that there is no shadow in comparison.”

After Lin Tian said this, the panic in everyone’s heart was immediately reduced a lot, it is indeed much better to have no shadow than to speak with a skeleton.

At this moment, Lin Tian continued to say: “However, I guess your shadow should have been taken away by some guy.”

Hearing this, Brook immediately showed panic on his face, then relaxed, with a trace of memory on his face.

“Wandering for decades in this devil sea, I don’t know what to do, until a few years ago, my shadow was taken away by that guy.”

“The shadow was taken away? Is that true?” Sanji asked incredibly.

Nodded, Brook said: “It’s true, once the shadow is taken away, you can’t touch the sun, you can only wander in this dark sea.”

Robin asked curiously: “If it were exposed to sunlight, what would happen?”

“If I was exposed to the sun, my body would disappear completely.” Brook said in an extremely gloomy tone. “I once saw a person whose shadow was taken away. When he was exposed to sunlight, his whole body seemed to be burned, and then his skin turned into ashes, then blood, bones, and the whole person.”

“Ah! Terrifying!”

Listening to what Brook said, Usopp and Chopper screamed out in shock, then hugged each other tightly, shaking uncontrollably all over stand up.

“It looks like that guy has arrived here, really disgusting guy.” Lin Tian muttered in a tone that only he could hear.

“The light hits the human body to form a shadow, just like I don’t have a shadow under the light, the light emitted by the mirror and the camera can’t capture me, that is, I am a person who is rejected by the light and has lost all my partners.”

After a long silence, Sanji lowered his head and exclaimed: “Your life is really a mess.”

En!

Everyone on the side nodded hard.

Waving his hands, Brook laughed excitedly, “However, I survived very tenaciously, a pile of bones that survived tenaciously, please take care of me.”

In the seemingly excited words, Lin Tian can feel the sadness in his heart. All the partners died in front of him one by one, but he survived in Underworld alone.

Feeling the passage of time, and the traces of his partner dissipating little by little in the long river of time, no one can understand the pain in Brooke’s heart. He seems excited because he doesn’t want to express his sad side in front of others.

This is why, when Luffy invites him to join, Brook will agree without the slightest hesitation because he really needs partners too much.

“Unfortunately, I agreed to join you without hesitation before, but please blame me for not being able to leave with you.” Brooke took off his hat and apologized sincerely to everyone.

Luffy immediately cried out in confusion: “Why?”

Brook slowly explained: “My shadow was taken away by others, and now I am protected by this sea of demons. If I leave, it is only a matter of time before I turn into ashes and disappear. I must take my shadow back.”

“We can help you regain the shadow.”

Without thinking, Luffy did not hesitate to reply, because in Luffy’s heart, he had decided that Brook must be their partner.

Seeing that Luffy helped him find a shadow for someone who had met for less than half an hour, Brook was so moved.

But Brook still refused: “No, that’s a terrifying guy, I’m not even sure about him.”

Hearing this, Nami laughed and moved towards Brook introduced: “By the way, Brook, you don’t know our name yet. Don’t worry, we are very strong.”

Hold on to Luffy: “This is our captain Luffy, and the reward is 300 million Berry.”

“300 million!” Brooke was frightened instantly, 300 million is a terrifying number, and Luffy in front of him is actually a pirate with a bounty of 300 million at his age.

“Also, Roronoa Zoro, bounty of 120 million Berry”

“Nico Robin, bounty of 100 million Berry”

“Sniper King Usopp, bounty of 98 million Berry”

“Sanji, bounty of 77 million Berry”

“Franky, bounty of 44 million Berry”

“I’m Nami, and Doctor Chopper, bounty of six million Berry, and fifty Berry”

When I heard this, Brook was even more shocked. He didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary pirate ship was full of high reward criminals. What kind of pirate ship did he arrive at?

Suddenly, when Nami was about to introduce the last Lin Tian, Lin Tian spoke, and stopped Nami’s words.

“Hm, someone has already come here.”

Crack…

Without much thought, Lin Tian thought about it, there was a slight noise, Zoro was already pulling out the Wado Ichimonji a little, the whole body is stretched and full of vigilance.

Sanji and Franky moved a few steps towards the two sides at the same time. The three of them and Lin Tian perfectly formed a four-sided defense formation, and their eyes quickly scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

Just when everyone was vigilant, Luffy raised his fist, looked around, and shouted indifferently.

“Who is it, come out quickly and hand back Brook’s shadow, otherwise I will beat you up and grab the shadow back.”

Sanji glanced at Luffy and cursed helplessly: “Idiot.”

“Ahhh…”

Boom! There were three vibrations in a row, Chopper, Usopp, and Brook were frightened by the strangely emerging ghost, lying on the ground, their whole bodies trembling uncontrollably, their eyes full of fear.

Following Nami’s eyes, she saw a white ghost on the ceiling of the kitchen, slowly traversing the wooden planks, revealing only half of his body in the eyes of everyone.

“A ghost!”

bang! After three consecutive vibrations, Chopper, Usopp, and Brook were stunned by the strange ghosts and shook on the ground, their whole bodies trembling slightly, and their eyes were full of fear.

Although the others were not scared sitting on the ground, the situation was not much better than the three of Usopp. Their foreheads were full of cold sweat, and their bodies couldn’t help but jump straight, ready to take action.

Although they have been talking about ghosts before, and they have talked to Brook, the skeleton, but this is the power of Devil Fruit after all.

What they see in front of them now is the real ghost, with a penetrating laugh in his mouth, and the smile on it can be seen easily through the board, everything except the ghost is nothing.

“Oh, how scary, is it a ghost?”

This ghost seemed to be spiritual. It was excited when it saw everyone’s scared expressions. That was when it saw Lin Tian smiling and looking at him.

The smile on the ghost’s face immediately disappeared, and replaced by the deep fear, just like the fear deep in the soul.

“Ah!!!”

A scream came out of his mouth, and he disappeared in front of everyone at a terrifying speed.

Then, the moment the ghost dissipated, the space around the ceiling twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he released his right hand under the table calmly.

Lin Tian thought in his heart: “Am I that terrifying? He ran so fast as soon as he saw me. I feel like I’m the ghost here.”

It took only a few seconds from the appearance of the ghost to the screaming and leaving. Before everyone knew what was happening.

Boom…

Suddenly, the calm hull trembled violently, the tableware on the table made a loud collision. The Sunny hit something.
