Aside from these, Chiga also saw limitless possibilities in the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Fruit of the Underworld).
That is, those with abilities can make contact with the Underworld and even borrow its power.
The underworld truly exists in the world of One Piece. Brook's memories show that his soul did indeed briefly linger in the underworld when he died.
Once you reach the Underworld, you can make contact with the departed souls and even bring them out of the Underworld!
Although Brook in the anime did not demonstrate this ability, Chiga felt that this theory must be feasible.
He possesses the Rinnegan, and with the abilities of the Human Path combined with the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), he doesn't believe he can't bring out a few souls.
I wonder if there's a Grim Reaper in the Underworld of One Piece. If there is, he'd better behave himself, or I'll show him who's more powerful, the King of Hell or the Grim Reaper.
Having made up his mind, Chiga immediately deployed Skynet to search for Brook's whereabouts throughout the entire Devil's Triangle.
Soon after, Brooke's location was detected in the Skynet system.
Chiga glanced in one direction, then transformed into lightning and disappeared from the spot once more.
On the dilapidated deck, Brooke sat gracefully at a piano, playing elegantly.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang out, and Brooke's performance came to an abrupt halt.
He looked up at the sky with his empty eye sockets and sighed.
"Is it going to rain? It seems the performance will have to end here today."
After saying that, Brooke got up to go to the cabin to take shelter from the rain, but he froze when he turned around.
Because he saw a living person!
Brooke has been in this godforsaken place for almost fifty years, and apart from the occasional fish jumping out of the sea, he has never seen any other creatures, let alone living people.
Even more tragically, he himself was hardly a living person; when he looked in the mirror, all he saw was a skeleton, and he had almost forgotten what he looked like in life.
So when Brooke saw the long-lost living person appear, he couldn't believe it for a moment. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, but there was nothing there anymore, and his eyes were nowhere to be found.
He couldn't help but look into the person's eyes, but those eyes were different from the ones he remembered; they were swirling and deep, like an unfathomable vortex.
Brooke couldn't help but think,
"Are people's eyes all like this nowadays?"
However, he was definitely overthinking it. If he could go out into the world, he would know that there is only one person in this vast ocean with such eyes.
The newcomer was Chiga. He had originally wanted to hear the famous song "Binks' Sake" from the One Piece anime, but he didn't expect that the thunderous sound he caused would startle Brook.
He looked at Brooke and smiled, saying, "This piece is really good, is it Binks's music?"
"Ah?"
Brooke was taken aback, wondering how this person knew the name of his piece. Could it be that the piece had become popular in the outside world?
While Brook was still in a daze, Chiga had already walked up to him.
As Chiga examined Brook's skeletal body, his gaze focused on Brook's thick, frizzy hair.
He thought to himself, "He's practically just bones now, but his hair is still so thick. How many bald people on Earth would weep over this!"
Thinking of this, Chiga's expression gradually became strange.
Brook was unaware that Chiga was making a very unrestrained comment about his hair. After a brief moment of surprise, his heart was filled with the joy of seeing a living person.
A happy expression appeared on his face, which was nothing but bones, making Qianhe mentally complain again.
"Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Brooke!"
Brooke was very enthusiastic, and Chiga immediately stopped her吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) and responded,
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Chika."
"Uchiha? That's a surname I've never heard of before, yohohohoho!"
Brooke has a very low threshold for laughter, and coupled with his lack of contact with people for many years, even the smallest novel thing can make him burst into laughter.
Chiga understood his experience, so she had no dissatisfaction with his behavior and patiently waited for him to calm down.
After laughing for a while, Brooke realized that his behavior was very impolite and quickly explained.
"I'm so sorry, I haven't seen a living person in so long, so..."
Qianhe waved his hand to interrupt him and said,
"It's okay, I understand."
"Mr. Chiga is such a gentle person, but you don't seem to be afraid of my body?"
Brooke was very puzzled by this. Shouldn't a normal person be scared when they see a living, talking skeleton?
Why does this Mr. Chiga seem to take his body for granted?
Chiga didn't offer any explanation. He couldn't very well tell Brook that he had watched anime and that's how you should look, could he?
He quickly changed the subject with a few perfunctory words and went straight to stating the purpose of his trip.
"Brook, I came here specifically to ask you for something."
"You want something?"
A puzzled expression appeared on Brook's skeletal face. He touched his body all over, wondering what he could possibly have that would make Mr. Chiga come all the way to this godforsaken place.
But he touched and touched, and apart from the hard bones and his own cane, he could find nothing else.
This made Brooke a little embarrassed, because Chiga was now an extremely precious guest to him, and it would be a terrible thing if he disappointed him.
He spoke hesitantly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chiga, I don't think I have anything to give you."
Qianhe shook his head and said seriously,
"What I want is your Yomi no Mi (Fruit of the Underworld)."
Chapter 202 Moria, the Part-Time Boss
"Mr. Chiga wants my Devil Fruit? Does he intend to kill me?"
Brooke looked serious; this was no joke.
Devil Fruits only reappear when the user dies. More importantly, Brook's current life is sustained by the Revive-Revive Fruit, and it's questionable whether he can continue to exist without it.
Brook is not afraid of death. Having lost all his companions and reduced to this inhuman state, he has long been tired of living.
What has kept him alive until now is a promise he made to the whale Laboon; he doesn't want to die until that promise is fulfilled.
Chiga certainly didn't want to take Brook's life. Brook was a rather interesting person with good character, though he was a bit of a lecher.
However, being lecherous isn't really a problem. Chiga herself is a bit lecherous, as long as it doesn't reach the disgusting level like Momonosuke's.
When Momonosuke was mentioned, Chiga couldn't help but wonder if he would see the boy's soul if he really entered the underworld. If he did, the boy would be in big trouble.
Thinking of this, Chiga's face revealed an evil smile.
Brooke was terrified when he saw Qianhe's wicked smile, and he instinctively took two steps back.
Chiga realized that his laughter was somewhat inappropriate; Brooke still thought he was going to kill him.
So he immediately explained,
"Don't be nervous, I have special means to save your life after taking away your demon."
"Huh? There's such a method? Mr. Chiga, you really scared my heart out just now, even though I don't have a heart... Yohohohoho!"
Brooke's personality is naturally carefree, and she easily believed Chiga's words.
Moreover, if his life wasn't in danger, then whether or not there was fruit was somewhat irrelevant to him.
Brook's current understanding of the Revive-Revive Fruit is very limited; he still believes that the fruit's only ability is to revive him once after death.
In the anime, Brook spent two years training before gradually learning to use the Yellow Springs' chill and his soul to fight, but in Chiga's opinion, this level was still a waste of this top-grade fruit.
If the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) were in his hands with the Rinnegan, it would definitely be able to unleash even greater power.
Chiga felt a sense of familiarity and amusement as she listened to Brooke's classic dry humor.
Aside from the female characters, Brook is his favorite character in the Straw Hat crew, so he thought that since he had Brook's Devil Fruit, he might as well do something for him.
But what could possibly be worth more than his Fruit of the Underworld?
Chiga lowered her head, searching her memory for anything about Brook.
Chiga's gaze lingered on Brook's feet for a moment, and she actually thought of an important plot point.
Noisy!
A dazzling purple light suddenly flashed from Chiga's body. Under the light, he noticed that there was no shadow under Brook's feet.
Seeing this, Qianhe nodded secretly. Just as he remembered, Brooke had no shadow now.
His shadow had been stolen by Moria, the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and stuffed into the zombie Ryuma.
This can serve as Chiga's reward for the Yomi no Mi (Fruit of the Underworld).
Thinking of this, Qianhe smiled at Brooke and said,
"I can't just take your Devil Fruit for nothing. I'll give you a satisfactory reward."
After saying that, Chiga didn't wait for Brook's response before turning into a bolt of lightning and disappearing in front of him.
Brooke stared blankly at the spot where Chiga had disappeared, and after a while, he shouted,
"Eh? Mr. Chiga! This fruit is of no use to me anymore. You can take it if you want, as long as you can talk to me some more!"
But Chiga was long gone, and all Brooke could see were shadows.
He lowered his head dejectedly and muttered to himself,
"Am I all alone again...?"
The Devil's Triangle, on a terrifying three-masted sailing ship,
Moria was lying on the soft sofa, engrossed in studying zombies on his own turf, in front of his nerdy friend.
Aside from the monthly quota that Chiga gives him, he will never step out of the house.
However, Moria was still two short of his monthly quota, which annoyed him. He couldn't help but complain to Absalom and the others beside him.
