Personality
Beck is an eccentric character with a distinct personality of his own, similar the other Straw Hat Pirates. While he looks like and claims to be a gentleman, he possesses very bad manners such as request to see ladies' panties (although in a mermaid's case he asks if they tin lend him some money - nonetheless, he asked this question to the Mermaid Princess anyway) and waiting impatiently for food (a trait shared past Luffy). Despite this behavior he still is somewhat polite, usually referring to people using the respectful "-san" ("Sir"). He appreciates the simplest of things: from a gesture of kindness, the company of others, and walking in the sunlight after receiving his shadow back.
His reactions to different occurrences can be somewhat extreme, often comically so. For instance, when the Straw Hats were alarmed at him for being a living skeleton, he forgets the object of fright is actually himself and too begins to panic. Although he tends to display more farthermost emotions at times, Brook has been known to over-relax when he is told to stay calm.[one] He is likewise very patient, having stayed on his former coiffure's ship for years, waiting for the day when he would eventually exist reunited with his shadow. Notwithstanding, due to his rudeness, he can also be impatient about things similar waiting for dinner to exist served. Brook's nigh notable trait amongst others, however, is that he cracks "skull jokes" about himself beingness a skeleton complimented with his singled-out laughter of "Yohohoho" even if there is no one around to hear him. When Chopper broke 1 of his jokes by proverb what he intended to say beforehand, Brook became temporarily depressed.
Brook is a great lover of music. Whether it exist through happy or distressing times, music is what generally keeps Beck going. Every bit a result, his love for music often reflects itself in diverse other aspects of his character, such as in his fighting style wherein the names of his attacks are derived from various songs and dances. He gave himself a musical theme and so noticeable that while he was alive in his starting time life, he was called "Humming Brook" by the government.[2]
In contrast to the other cowardly crew members own fears - Usopp'due south being out of insecurity, Nami's as a survival instinct, and Chopper'due south from cautiousness - Brook's fear is more down to Globe; he fears the things that are not normal. An example would exist that Beck is easily scared by the ghosts and zombies (despite technically existence undead himself). In order to fight the various Thriller Bark creatures without fearfulness when he encountered them, Brook convinced himself that if he sings while fighting, he would non be afraid of them (though he starts running in fear when he stops singing). This singing while fighting, all the same, had a side result of making him seem similar a more sinister beast to the zombies - a rather ironic fact due to him being the contrary and the fact the vocal he sings during battle existence one of life and joy than one of ominous threat and evil every bit perceived by them. Considering of this, despite his equal fright he was given the name of "Bustling Swordsman" by the zombies and was ironically feared by them in turn. He apparently does not like moving fast, evident when he was in the more than intense rides at Sabaody Park. Linked to this is moving at high speeds via the Flying Fish Riders flight fish or theme park rides and fighting a Pacifista cyborg there was little take a chance to win against. Comically, about of these fears are things he himself has the potential to unintentionally crusade such as existence an almost living skeleton that can run and so fast that most people would accept little chance to win against.
Before encountering the Straw Hats, Brook was very solitary while floating adrift on his transport and longed for the company of other people. He initially accepted Luffy'due south offer to join the coiffure and invited himself over for dinner upon arriving on board the Thousand Sunny only and then he could collaborate with the crew and make full the void that he experienced all those years. Also, while possibly one of the oldest pirates "alive", Brook still retains an air of childishness about him that enables him to behave in a manner similar to Luffy and Chopper, noted by the ease with which he participates in their artless antics.
His distinct personality and laughter allowed Nami, Usopp, and Chopper question a "guardian" of Hogback'due south lab, Ryuma, who had Brook'southward signature laughter and personality.[three] This was because Ryuma possessed Brook's shadow until the samurai was defeated by Zoro, upon which Brook's shadow was returned to its rightful place.
Awkwardly, Brook has a tendency to lack mutual sense in slightly frantic times. For instance, when Luffy falls into the water, Brook (and Chopper for that affair) jumps into the h2o, despite beingness a Devil Fruit user himself. He also has a tendency to accidentally proceed rides that go obviously fast and sit out on slower rides.
Also in One Piece Pic: Strong World , he appears to take offense if someone avoids him considering he does non have whatever "substance", later commenting he is like that because he is "dieting". This was later seen again during the Punk Hazard Arc when the Straw Hats, Kin'emon, and Brownbeard were attacked by a dragon who ignored him. Beck grew furious, challenge that bones have plenty of nutrition.
Brook believes in and has quoted the philosophy "Good things come to those who wait", given the years he spent on the ghost ship, and Laboon'due south eternal patience.
— Brook, on the New Fishman Pirates "culling" of their own men
All the same, one issue he has stood by is the human action of wasting lives. Equally he had experienced death, he knows more than near virtually the consequences of dying. He shares a very stiff accent on keeping promises and friendship, as he would do everything in his power to reunite and fulfill his hope to Laboon his long lost friend, something Franky had complimented him upon. Though he is prone to being childish, he proves a loyal and fearless friend. Continuing between Usopp and a Pacifista stating that he shall protect him even though he knew his chances of survival were slim. Even Zoro has quietly acknowledged that Brook is a true man to his heart, facing down odds that are virtually incommunicable unflinchingly to salve a friend. Besides similar to Sanji, while both of them are womanizers with lecherous thoughts, Brook is also very protective over women (as is Sanji), as he chastised the New Fishman Pirates for aiming their firearms at Shirahoshi.
Though he knows other songs, Brook'south favorite song to sing is Binks' Sake which he was singing upon his first appearance.[iv] Even when he asks for requests from the others, he seemed to instantly switch over to singing this vocal.[5] Other songs Brook sings include Blackness Handkerchief of Happiness and his own originals, Os To Exist Wild and New World.[6]
Brook is also clever enough to play a joke on Jora into turning his weapon back to normal by pretending to side with her.[vii]
Relationships
Crews
Rumbar Pirates
As a member and eventually the 2d captain of the Rumbar Pirates, Brook and his coiffure were very close friends, and was alike to family unit. They all enjoyed music and each other'due south company, and Brook was among the sad when Captain Yorki and half of the crew contracted an incurable illness that forced them to be separated to prevent it from spreading to the other half. The residual of the crew trusted Brook to the point of appointing him as the succeeding captain. When the remainder were wiped out by a force that used poisoned weapons against them, Beck lone shouldered the crew's promise to reunite with Laboon, and became lonely and depressed when everyone else died.
Straw Lid Pirates
The Harbinger Hats were immediately wary of Brook prior to his initial entry into the crew (salve for Luffy, who invited him on board the Thousand Sunny), simply this changes after the events of Thriller Bark. Before he officially joined the crew, only Luffy fabricated friends with him, due to finding him hilarious; the two fifty-fifty goofed effectually in the same way during their dinner on the Sunny. Despite his obnoxious personality, Beck deeply cares for his crew, going and then far to protect Usopp and Sanji from Kuma. His eccentric personality oft gets on the crew'south fretfulness, showing no appropriate respect for Nami and even Robin when he asks to see their panties, and makes skull jokes in serious situations which often pb to him being beaten upwardly, even shattering Robin'southward unremarkably limitless patience.
Nevertheless, Brook's sense of humor and music can enlighten an organization as big every bit the Thriller Bawl Victim'southward Association. Franky is moved to tears upon hearing Beck's backstory, and the rest of the Straw Hats proceeds respect for him, even Usopp and Chopper who were initially agape of him, after hearing about his devotion to keeping his promise to Laboon. Because they are both swordsman, Beck has formed a respectful bail with Zoro besides. When he saw the latter face off confronting Ryuma he then proclaimed Zoro "cool". Brook also tends to get along with Sanji, seeing as both of them having perverted interests. He, along with the Risky Brothers, were one of the few who paid witness to Zoro and Sanji's attempt at self-sacrifice, though he respected their decision enough not to tell anyone else in the crew.
Friends
Laboon
— Brook about the need to protect his afro
Laboon from Brook'due south retentivity.
Over fifty years earlier, Laboon met the Rumbar Pirates later becoming lost and separated from his pod and began following them in his loneliness. After a while they notice how distressing he looked and they cheered him up by singing and every bit a result he continued to follow them. The crew grew attached to him because he was "cute". Somewhen, while feeding him bait, Brook named him "Laboon". He was accepted as a crew fellow member and even aided them when an attack left a few crew members having fallen overboard and no one else could help them.
Brook cares a lot about his afro. Because information technology is the merely part of him that did non rot away after he died, it ways a lot to him. It is the only thing he believes that Laboon would however recognize him past after fifty years. Since it will not ever abound dorsum again should it be cut, Beck is extremely protective of it. Because of the promise Brook and the residue of his crew fabricated to Laboon, Beck feels obligated to come across up with Laboon in social club to fulfil that hope. He feels that Laboon would not forgive them for dying irresponsibly in the Grand Line.
Fans
During the two year timeskip, Brook became a world-famous celebrity and had flourished so much in his career as a music star. By the time he was seen again in Sabaody, he was set up to conduct his concluding concert for his hardcore fans before returning into piracy once over again. His fans were shown to be quite devoted to him, tolerating the fact that he was a walking, moving skeleton, and were profoundly saddened when the Marines publicly declared Brook's by identity as a pirate and possible membership in the crew of the Harbinger Hat Pirates. They were even willing to castor off the attempts of the Marines to apprehend Beck when he announced that he will perform one final song for them to hear.
Enemies
While alive, Brook encountered many enemies during his journey through West Bluish and the Grand Line, including the group that killed him and his crewmates.
Marines
He also received a bounty from the Marines in this time, and due to his managers betraying him, Brook'southward existence as a pirate and affiliation to the Harbinger Hats has been revealed to the Marines. His bounty remains active, and it's probable that a new wanted poster will appear presently taking in his present state.
Thriller Bark
Considering of the mess he fabricated 5 years agone in Thriller Bark, iii of the Mysterious Four know how troublesome he is. Dr. Hogback, in particular, greatly fears him, mainly because Brook one time had him at sword indicate five years ago and knew the weakness of the zombies. Only Perona does not know of his doings because she was asleep at the fourth dimension and ignored Kumashi'southward attempts to wake her.
Ryuma
Brook'south main enemy from his time on Thriller Bark was Ryuma, the zombie that was animated with his shadow. After Brook was set afloat at sea, he returned to the island in search for his shadow. After causing some bug on the isle, Beck came across Ryuma who possessed his shadow, and while they shared the aforementioned techniques, Ryuma had the stronger torso and was able to best Brook at his ain fighting style. Knowing that he could non kill Brook (considering if the original owner of the shadow is killed, their shadow is destroyed and the zombie becomes a lifeless corpse again), Ryuma permit Brook get with a broken skull.
Subsequently, while sitting down and drinking tea in Hogback'due south lab, Ryuma is confronted past Brook. The skeleton and then challenged Ryuma to a duel. After several bone shattering strikes, Ryuma easily defeats Brook with his ain style. Ryuma then grabs Brook'due south afro and decides to cut it off as a final blow towards the skeleton. Still just before Ryuma could cutting off the afro, the entire island of a sudden shakes and makes Ryuma lose his grip on the afro. Franky then arrives in the lab to tend to Brook. Ryuma, upon regaining his balance, attacks both Franky and Brook. However before it hits its marking, Zoro blocks Ryuma's set on and challenges to fight Ryuma himself in Brook'due south stead.
Managers
Brook'due south managers, prior to becoming professional.
Brook's managers were bandits on Namakura Island, led by Sancrin. Two years agone they used to steal and kidnap from the people of Namakura Island until they were well-nigh penniless. After kidnapping a young girl, Brook wrote a song that encouraged the locals to fight back and capture their tormentors. The people of Harahettania planned on displaying them as freaks, merely were convinced by Beck to let them become. However, as a result, they kidnapped Brook and instead put him on display every bit a freak show at their home isle of Kenzan Island. They were worried at first when he did not move and asked him to practice and then. They were so surprised when he suddenly started performing for everyone.
Two years later they have patently go quite close with Beck, as they are now dressed upwardly in suits and take become his managers. After Brook informed them nigh his plans for retirement, they betrayed him by calling the Marines (in spite of this, Beck was yet grateful for their care over the last two years). They were last seen at the concert hall, furious about Beck's escape.
