THAT SONG

Brook, the skeleton musician in a black suit, plays his violin energetically and shouts, "HEY, EVERYONE!! I HOPE YOU'RE ALL IN HIGH SPIRITS!!!" He continues, "IT'S MORNING, YOHOHOHO~!!! LET'S START THE MORNING WITH A SONG!!!" A flashback panel shows the Rumbar Pirates' ship in chaos as the crew sings "THE FAMOUS SONG 'THE BLACK HANDKERCHIEF'." Brook's voice narrates, "THE POWERFUL TUNE WE'RE SETTING OFF THIS WEEK WITH..." The crew yells, "EVERYONE, TOGETHER NOW!!" while singing lines like "DON'T GET GAAALIGHT ♪ BY THE OCTOPUS~ THAT INK ♪" and "RUN AWAY~ WHITE-HAND-KER~ CHIEF~ DON'T LET IT FIND~ YOU ♪". A young Brook protests, "I'M AWAKE! I'M AWAKE, BROOK~!!! PLEASE STOP, MAKING THIS KIND OF NOISE IN THE MORNING~!!!" A sign identifies him as "Rumbar Pirates Musician Swordsman Brook 50 Years Ago, 38 Years Old".

The flashback continues aboard the Rumbar Pirates' ship. The crew sings "PUOOOOOOOOO PUOPUOOOOOPUO ♪" as a massive whale surfaces with its mouth open. A crew member calls, "GOOD MORNING! WE'RE UP!!" Another requests, "A BALLAD, PLEASE!" and "ROGER!! THE CAPTAIN'S FAVORITE SONG." Voices shout, "THE SQUID HAS COME, TOO ♪" and "PLEASE PLAY 'THAT SONG'." Brook plays while the whale responds with "PUOOPUOPUOOOPUO ♪". The captain figure asks, "HMMI" as the crew notices the whale. Later panels show the whale following the ship; someone yells, "YOU'RE THE WHALE FROM YESTERDAY... ARE YOU STILL HEREI HURRY UP AND GO SEARCH FOR YOUR POD!!" The whale sings "PUOOO~N!!" and "PUOOOO OON ♪". A crew member exclaims, "SO CU~TE ♡" while the whale swims alongside the ship.

The Rumbar Pirates' ship sails as the whale Laboon follows. A crew member offers, "LOOK, HERE'S SOME FOOD, LABOON." Another asks, "HEY, HEY, WHEN DID YOU NAME HIMI" while others call, "ISN'T YOUR MOM WORRIED ABOUT YOU!I" and "HEY, HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO FOLLOW US!I" Suddenly the ship comes under attack; explosions rock the deck as pirates scream, "UWAA!! BUHA!! SAVE ME!!" and "CAPTAIN!! WE HAVE INJURED MEN OVERBOARD!!" The cry goes out, "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK~!!!" Brook rallies everyone, "ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE SING 'THAT SONG'!!!" The crew responds, "YEAH~!!" and sings while fighting. Laboon attacks the enemy ship with "PUOOO~!!" as the pirates shout, "THROW THEM LIFE-SAVERS!! WE'LL SAVE THEM LATER; WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEN RIGHT NOW!!" and "UOOO!! LABOON SAVED US!! HEY, WE'RE ALL RIGHT!!" A wounded pirate gasps, "HAA... I CAN'T SWIM, SO... THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO."

Pirates celebrate wildly on a tropical shore, raising mugs and cheering. "LET'S HAVE A FEAST TODAY~!!!" one shouts as another yells "WE FOUND TREASURE, LABOON!!" A small ship bobs nearby with the cry "IT'S COLD, ISN'T ITI" and repeated "PUOOO" sounds from the water. Laboon the whale surfaces beside the vessel. Brook plays piano while explaining, "YOHOHOHO, IT'S BECAUSE LABOON LOVES MUSIC." A crewmate laughs, "GYAH A-HAHAHA!! NO WAY! I THINK IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE SIMILAR-SHAPED HEADS!!" A massive sea monster suddenly appears, prompting panicked shouts of "A SEA MONSTER APPEARED!!! PROTECT LABOON!!!" and fierce "GA-RURURU RURU-!!!" roars. Brook continues playing as musical notes drift and someone asks, "IS THAT SOI YOHOHOHO."

The crew gathers on the deck and shore, desperately trying to reason with Laboon. "DO YOU UNDERSTAND!I HE WON'T LISTEN TO A THING WE SAY. WE TRIED TELLING HIM, BUT... IS THERE NOTHING YOU CAN DO...I WE DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO PROTECT HIM ANY LONGER." Brook sits at the piano playing softly. A close-up shows a stern man declaring, "WE CAN'T BRING HIM TO THE GRAND LINE. THAT KID..." Laboon surfaces again with loud "PUO!!! PUO!!!" and "PUO~!!!" cries. The man continues, "THE GRAND LINE IS A DANGEROUS OCEAN!! REALLY!!!" Brook pleads, "AH, PLEASE STOP SINGING FOR A LITTLE BIT. WE NEED TO TALK." Laboon replies with musical "PUO~ PUO" notes while the man warns, "YOU'RE NOT AN ADULT YET, AND THERE ARE BRUTAL CREATURES THAT AREN'T ANYTHING LIKE THE ONES IN WEST BLUE. WE'RE DEFINITELY YOUR NAKAMA, BUT YOU'RE A WHALE AND..."

Laboon surfaces repeatedly with question marks and "PUOOO!!!" calls. Crew members argue, "NO GOODI THEN SHOULD WE SING 'THAT SONG' FIRSTI THAT WOULD ONLY BACKFIRE ON US." Brook gestures while saying, "LABOON, LISTEN TO ME." The whale keeps responding with "PUOOO!!" and musical notes. A ship rocks in the waves as more "PUO" sounds echo. One man notes, "IT'S NO GOOD... IT'S PAINFUL, BUT DON'T MAKE EYE CONTACT... UNTIL LABOON SEPARATES FROM THE SHIP..." Brook stands with the crew, stating, "PLAYING MUSIC AND SINGING... ARE PROHIBITED." Laboon drifts nearby with uncertain "PUOOI" sounds and a final "GUSU" as the group watches from the deck.

A violent storm rages at sea. "LOOK AT THAT!! IT'S THE LIGHTHOUSE THAT MARKS THE ENTRANCE TO THE GRAND LINE!! WHAT A STORM...!!! IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO FALL OFF!!" The crew battles massive waves. "LET'S GO! TO THE WORLD'S GREATEST OCEAN!!!" one shouts as another yells "UOOOOOOO!!! ANYTIME!!! ARE ALL OF YOU BASTARDS READY!!!I" A man cries, "NO!! I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM AROUND FOR A WEEK!! IS LABOON STILL THERE!I" The ship is tossed violently. "IF HIS LUCK IS GOOD, HE'LL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO HIS POD. IT'S SAD WHAT WE DID, BUT... IT WAS FOR HIS SAKE!!!" The battered vessel approaches a rocky lighthouse. Crocus stands on the cliff and declares, "GOOD JOB CROSSING OVER REVERSE MOUNTAIN... WELCOME TO THE PIRATES' GRAVEYARD. I AM THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER, CROCUS." A sign reads "The twin capes at the entrance to the Grand Line." Someone shouts, "HEY, HEY, DON'T ACT LIKE THAT, YOU BASTARD!"

On the damaged ship at the cape, Calico Yorki laughs heartily. "NEHAHAHA! YOU GOT ME!! EXTORTING PIRATES, ARE YOU!I ALL RIGHT, FINE." Crocus offers, "DURING THAT TIME, YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY FOOD AND DRINKS. YOU CAN STAY HERE AS LONG AS YOU WANT, BUT..." Yorki replies, "I'M KIND OF KNOWN IN WEST BLUE AS 'CALICO YORKI.'" A crew member calls out, "SORRY, CROCUS-SAN... OUR SHIP IS EXTREMELY DAMAGED." Another shouts, "CELEBRATE WITH US!! TODAY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CELEBRATORY FEAST!!!" Suddenly Yorki reacts in shock, "GEH!!!" as the crew stares in surprise. Someone asks, "BY THE WAY, IS THAT WHALE YOU BROUGHT WITH YOU YOUR PETI" Laboon surfaces with a mighty cry, "LABOO~~N~~~!!!" and lets out powerful blasts, "PUO~~~" "PUO" "PUOOO!!!"

Laboon surfaces again as Yorki asks, "LABOON, ♪ YOU LIKE IT TOO, HUH~I" The crew erupts in celebration with music notes and cheers: "YEAH!! THIS IS THE SONG OF THE PIRATES!!" Brook plays his violin wildly while the pirates dance and shout, "HEY, BROOK!! LET'S SING 'THAT SONG'!!" "THE CAPTAIN REALLY LIKES THAT SONG, HUHI" Brook exclaims, "YOHHOHOHO!! ANYTHING YOU CAN PLAY, BROOK~!!" Crocus asks, "CROCUS-SAN, DO YOU HAVE A REQUESTI" Three months later, the crew prepares to depart. Crocus says, "... WELL, CROCUS, TAKE CARE OF THE REST FOR US!!" "IT'S REGRETTABLE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TO LEAVE." The crew replies, "IF WE JUST GO STRAIGHT THROUGH, WE'LL ARRIVE AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS RED LINE." "I'LL ONLY BE 2-3 YEARS!! WE'LL JUST GO STRAIGHT THROUGH THIS OCEAN!!" "THANK YOU, LABOON!!" "I'M GLAD YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND!!" Laboon answers with "PUO!!"

The crew waves goodbye from the ship. "WE HOPE YOU'LL BE WAITING FOR US!!" "YOU'LL HAVE GROWN MUCH LARGER BY THEN." "THEN WE'LL CROSS THIS WALL AGAIN AND BE BACK HERE AT THE CAPE." Brook shouts, "LET'S ADVENTURE TOGETHER!! BECAUSE WE'RE NAKAMA!!" Yorki calls out, "LABOON!! AT THAT TIME, WE CAN GO ANYWHERE!" The crew adds, "WAIT FOR US--!!" "AND RETURN TO THIS PLACE!!!" "TRAVEL THE WORLD..." "LABOON!! WE WILL DEFINITELY..." Laboon responds with powerful cries, "PUOOO OO~~!!!" "PUOOO~!!" as the ship sails away with musical notes trailing behind.

Three years later, the Florian Triangle is shown with rough seas and a battered ship. The once-proud vessel is now heavily damaged, covered in holes, torn sails, and debris. On the ruined deck, a lone small figure stands amid the wreckage as sound effects echo, "ギィ" "ギィ" "カツ カツ" "ヒュルル..."

Amidst a chaotic swirl of skulls and debris, a voice pleads, "PLEASE TEACH ME YOUR SWORD TECHNIQUES." Another exclaims, "YOUR QUICK KILLS ARE AMAZING!!" Someone shouts, "HEY, BROOK!!" Brook lies among bones and wreckage, replying with a skeletal "GI~~~~" and the rattling "KATSU KATSU..." In a ruined hall lined with coffins, Brook stands tall as the crew reacts wildly. "ANYWAY, RETREAT!! COMMON SENSE DOESN'T APPLY TO THIS OCEAN!!!" yells one pirate. "WASN'T IT JUST HOT AND SUNNY!I!" another cries amid swirling winds and impact lines. Luffy cheers "YAHOO~!!!" as a massive whirl-wind erupts. The final panel shows a lone silhouette against the night sky with the caption "THE STARS."

The ruined deck of the ship shakes under massive impact lines as Brook stands amid the wreckage. A voice calls, "RIGHT, BROOK!I PLEASE PLAY A SONG FOR US TODAY, TOO!!!" Brook replies, "NO, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE SAKE IS DELICIOUS!!" Crew members shout over each other: "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT... YOUR BODY CAN'T KEEP UP," "WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS THIS OCEAN IS," and "THAT SONG"!!! Laughter erupts with "GYAH-HA-HA-HA!" and "UHAHA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" Brook walks forward and asks, "WELL THEN, SHALL I STARTI" as the crew cheers "YEAH, PLAY, PLAY~!!!" and "I KNEW THAT WAS COMING!!"

Brook sits in the damaged interior explaining, "...A MIRROR... SO I BECAME A SKELETON." He winces "OWW..." and "OWOWOW OWOWOW!!!" while the crew reacts with "....!!!" Outside, Brook is struck with "GYAAAA!!!" and "DODODODODODODODODODODODO" sound effects amid flying debris. The Straw Hats argue: "DON'T HOLD A GRUDGE OVER SOMETHING THAT'S DONE WITH!! IT'S SHAMEFUL," "BUT YOU'RE ALIVE, PLUS, HE ALREADY APOLOGIZED," and "BUT CAPTAIN! THIS GUY ALMOST KILLED ME DURING BATTLE WHEN HE FIRED HIS CANNON!!!" Brook clutches his head, yelling "SHUT UP!! YOU GUYS WERE FIGHTING OVER SOMETHING SO STUPID!!" and "IT HURTS, CAPTAIN!!" The page ends on a quiet sea under stars with the caption "THE STARS."

The crew panics as Brook plays his violin under the stars. "HEY, STOP THAT!!! IT'S EMBARRASSING!!!" one shouts while another cries "HEY, EVERYONE, COME LOOK AT THIS! BROOK IS GETTING ALL SENTIMENTAL!!!" with frantic "ZUBABABABA!!!" effects. A hooded figure on the mast says, "RIGHT, CAPTAINI THEY'RE ALL OVER THE NIGHT SKY... I WONDER IF LABOON IS ALSO LOOKING AT THIS SKY..." Below deck the party erupts: "NEHAHAHA-HAHAHA! HOW'S THAT!I" "UHYAAAA!! LOOK!! THE CAPTAIN'S BOUNTY WENT UP AGAIN!!!" and "LET'S HAVE A FEAST~!!!" A massive WANTED poster for "DEAD OR ALIVE YORKI" appears. Brook hums "KARA KARA KARA..." and "HMMHMMHM~♪ HM~HM~HM~♪" as voices demand "BROO~K!! SING 'THAT SONG'!!!" and "YORKI♪ YORKI♪"

On the deck of the Rumbar Pirates' ship, crew members react in shock as Captain Yorki staggers out of his quarters looking pale and unsteady. "CAPTAIN YORKI LOOKS STRANGE!!" "HEY!! IT'S THE CAPTAIN!!!" "HUHI" someone exclaims. The black flag with skull and crossbones flutters as panic spreads. "THIS IS BAD!!" Inside the captain's room, Yorki lies feverish in bed while the crew discusses his condition. "THIS IS BAD...!!!" "IT'S AN UNKNOWN VIRUS; I CAN'T TREAT IT...!!!" "HE PROBABLY GOT IT FROM THE JUNGLE WE LANDED AT EARLIER...!!!" "THERE'S ALSO ABOUT TEN OTHER PEOPLE INFECTED, TOO...!!!" "YEAH... HIS ROOM IS OFF LIMITS..." "A DISEASE...!I" one pirate shouts in alarm. The scene shifts to the ship sailing past snowy mountains and a distant town. Yorki, coughing heavily, laughs weakly from his sickbed: "NEHAHAHA... DON'T LET OUT SUCH PAINED VOICES, YOU GUYS!! THE RUMBAR PIRATES THAT MAKE CRYING CHILDREN SMILE CAN'T CRY THEMSELVES!!!" Crew members call out desperately, "CAPTAIN YORKI~!!!" "CAPTAIN!!"

Lying in bed, Captain Yorki speaks with resolve despite his illness. "WELL... ESCAPE FROM THE CALM BELT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER... NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!" "...I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I'D GO DOWN THIS ROAD OF LOSS..." "I'LL... HAVE TO LEAVE THE GRAND LINE A LITTLE BEFORE YOU...!!!" "BOTH THIS SHIP AND MY BODY ARE IN THE GUTTER... I WANT YOU GUYS TO CONTINUE IN A NEW SHIP!!" The crew stands in stunned silence. "CAPTAIN." In another room, Brook appears with a surprised "...!!!" and "II" while a small figure hiccups. The crew reacts with "YES...I" "BROOK." Yorki continues encouraging them: "NEHAHAHA!! DON'T MAKE SUCH SAD FACES; BUCK UP!! RIGHT!!" "I'M SORRY, YOU GUYS...!!! GIVE MY BEST TO LABOON." The page ends on a close-up of a tearful, bandaged crew member crying out in anguish, "THIS IS THE WORST...!!!"

The emotional farewell continues as the crew shouts their loyalty. "LIFE... BUT, IS PRECIOUS... CAPTAIN!!" "RIGHT, CAPTAIN!I THEY'RE CARVED... INTO MY HEART!!" "I... WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR WORDS...!!!" "CAPTAIN YORKI...!!!" Yorki collapses back with a pained "GUH!!" as the ship begins to pull away. "THE SHIP IS LEAVING, BUT, FOR BOTH OF US... LIVE!! YOU'LL MEET UP WITH EVERYONE AGAIN... WON'T YOU, CAPTAIN!I" A lone figure stands on the distant shore watching the ship sail into the sunset. "... HEY, BROOK. SEND ME OFF..." With his favorite song, Brook begins to sing: "BINKS'~ SAKE...♪" "GOING TO DELIVER♪" "KARA KARA..." The melody echoes across the waves as the ship departs, leaving the sick captain behind.
