Chapter 364 Brook's Magic
In the world of One Piece, swordsman is considered to be the most important profession. No matter whether it is the navy or pirates, as long as they use swords as their weapons, they dare to call themselves swordsmen.
There are also swordsmen in the Straw Hat Pirates, and there is more than one, Zoro and Brook. Today, let's analyze how big the gap is between Brook and Zoro as swordsmen?
Let’s talk about two years ago. The most intuitive manifestation was the battle between Brook and Zoro against Ryuma who was turned into a zombie. It can be said that Brook has fought with Ryuma many times and used all kinds of means, but he was still pressed to the ground and rubbed by Ryuma.
Looking at Zoro, it is even more intuitive. At that time, Zoro's snow was corroded by the Rust-Rust Fruit user, and Zoro, who only had two swords in his hands, was not in a complete state, but he still defeated Ryuma.
The most important thing is that Ryoma's evaluation of Zoro is that it is like facing off against a giant creature, and he has never felt this way in his life. Ryoma was known as a legendary swordsman in his time, and it can be said that his evaluation of Zoro is enough to prove everything.
Let’s talk about the next two years of training. Brook mainly studied the ability of the Yomiuri fruit for two years. Although he had an ice sword covered with Yomiuri’s cold air, Zoro was equivalent to practicing with Hawkeye all the time, and the gap was even greater.
Let's look at the battle. When Brook was fighting against one of the leaders of the New Fish-Man Pirates on Fishman Island, he used almost all of his strength, if not all of it.
When Zoro fought against Fishman Island's number one swordsman, Leopard, he felt that the fight was completely boring and not challenging at all. At least even his Armament Haki was useless. It can be said that he was really ravaging Leopard.
He had absolutely no power to fight back, and even after the Leopard's sword broke, Zoro didn't even have the desire to kill Leopard. It can be said that Zoro used less than one tenth of his strength.
In the Big Mom arc, Brook challenged Big Mom alone. Although his courage was commendable, he was basically hung up and beaten. What shocked the fans the most was that Brook hit Big Mom with all his strength without even using Haki, and his body was completely unharmed. It can be said that Brook's defense was completely unbroken.
On the other hand, although Zoro has never fought any strong man with all his strength, there is a detail that when Luffy was fighting Fujitora, after being blown away by Fujitora, Zoro drew his sword and was about to attack.
It can be said that Luffy and Fujitora are just full of love and neither of them has tried their best, but looking at Zoro's expression, it seems that he is going to chop Fujitora down. With the setting of Observation Haki, Zoro's actual combat power should not be much worse than Fujitora. On the other hand, Brook may not even be able to catch up with him at the vice admiral level in terms of swordsmanship.
Brook is a very good musician that Luffy found for the pirate ship, and as a musician, Brook was already a very powerful pirate in the Roger era!
Because in Brook's memory, Roger seemed to be just a new pirate star, but Brook had already made a name for himself in the New World at that time. If he had not been ambushed, Brook's reputation would probably be as dazzling as the Four Emperors!
Brook was originally the captain of a certain country's guard team, and joined the Rumbar Pirates for adventure.
However, his dream did not come true because he was ambushed by other pirates in the windless zone, but Brook was resurrected due to the power of the Yomiuri Fruit. However, it was too long before he found his body, so his body was just a pile of bones.
Because of this, the white skull has become Brook's unique symbol, and perhaps this is also a wonder in One Piece.
However, the interesting story is that Luffy encountered Brook's strongest bond - the giant island whale Laboo, who had been waiting for Brook's return, but he didn't know that Brook's group had already lost their lives. Laboo lost his patience after waiting for a long time and kept attacking the red earth continent.
After meeting Luffy, Laboon had a duel with Luffy. Luffy, who won the duel, asked Laboon to wait for him to return from traveling around the world. This time, Laboon has new expectations!
However, precisely because he and Brook have a common goal, Brook finally decided to join Luffy's pirate ship.
In this way, Luffy not only invited a musician to board the ship, but also invited a pirate who was familiar with the history of pirates to board the ship. No matter how you look at it, Luffy has made a profit, but in Zoro's eyes, it is not so!
At the moment when Brook was about to board the ship, Zoro happened to hear it and congratulated Brook without saying that Brook was really unlucky to join his pirate ship. After all, in Zoro's eyes, both Luffy and himself were very troublesome.
If Brook had a heart, it would probably jump out after being frightened by Zoro. However, Brook, with his mouth opened so wide, must have been frightened by Zoro in his soul!
Brook was indeed in a very embarrassing situation after joining the Straw Hat Pirates. After all, Luffy, the troublemaker, was against everything, the navy, and the Four Emperors. As long as he didn't like someone, he would directly confront them.
Therefore, Brook has been fighting continuously since he joined Luffy's team. However, this is also a unique adventure for Brook. Isn't this kind of youth adventure what he expected back then?
As the ninth person to join the Straw Hat Pirates, Brook is truly a rare "magical creature" in the pirate world. He is only a bag of old bones, but he becomes more and more powerful as he gets older.
Apart from always looking at ladies' underwear when he first appeared on the stage, always making fun of himself for having no face, no flesh, and no eyeballs, and playing music from time to time, Brook's presence was actually not very strong, and some people even questioned it at one point.
After two years of training, Brook has greatly developed his abilities and the advantage of being just a handful of bones. This has also allowed Brook to find his own way of survival in the Straw Hat Pirates and clarify his role in the battle.
Two years after the soul left his body, in Ryugu Castle, when Usopp, Zoro and Brook were all locked in cages, Brook showed one of the results of his training:
Soul out of body. He can let his soul freely enter and leave his body. This out of body shocked Suo so much that his left eye almost opened. As for whether he went to investigate or did something else after leaving his body, I am afraid only Brook himself knows...
When the King of Ice and Soul faced the Four Emperors BIG MOM and her minions, it can be said that Brook went all out. Although he was defeated in the end, it was not shameful, after all, he was facing the Four Emperors.
During this battle, Brook demonstrated his powerful soul attack and freezing abilities. The coldness from the underworld is not something that every soul can withstand.
Just like the magical skull and bone fracture, Brook's skull is also very eye-catching. He can always take out strange things from it. It's no mistake to say that he has the biggest imagination!
It was because of his imagination that he was able to achieve his goal by surprise when stealing the historical text of the road sign. Later, he broke his bone in the battle, but he was able to recover by drinking milk to supplement calcium! What kind of body structure is this?! It's exactly the same as Luffy.
