__HIDER__ <hide> Front Piece: Enel’s Space Epic Vol. 23 “Regret!! The Space Pirates were too strong!
Spacey is lying down, full of holes, weeping


Franky: Return to the ship!? We’re going back to the Sunny-Go!?
Brook: Yes. In the worst possible case, your nakama’s shadows are already taken.
However, having their shadow taken doesn’t mean they’re dead. Just look at what happened to me… ahh!! I died!!!
Franky: That’s completely different!!! Even if their shadows are taken we can’t let them die
Brook: Right! But, the moment when everyone loses consciousness is the weak point. They don’t wake up for 2 days.
During that time, they take strong people back to their boats and shove them off from Thriller Bark. Why do you think that is?
Robin: Probably so that the victim cannot come back and retake their shadows, right?

Brook: Yep!
Franky: …well, once they lose consciousness, couldn’t they just kill them?
Brook: They can’t do that! This is an important point, listen closely
Though the flesh and the shadow may be separated, they are still of one soul!! If the body dies, then so to will the shadow disappear
--which means that at the same time the Zombie loses its life! So, the enemy, in order to have this not happen, will do all they can to ensure the body goes on living.
Which is precisely why if your nakama have had their shadow taken, they will most certainly be returned, living, to your ship!
As it is, the worst possible case is that you too have your shadow stolen! Once everyone loses their shadow, you will be set to wander upon the sea…
For now, the only method available to you is to wake your nakama up, and grasp onto that chance to get their shadows back!!!
Franky: I see… so you actually did have a point.
Brook: You two, take this. As you saw earlier with the Spider Monkey, it’s the Zombies’ proven weak point
Brook: It’s…. salt!
hm… so… that was it…..
Franky: ……..salt!? so it’s not like really defeating them.. more like purifying a wicked existence from a sort of curse?
Brook: Well… I suppose that’s putting it plainly… the Zombies are originally given the ability to move by the power of the Devil’s Fruit
Since salt holds the power of the ocean, it undoes the binding between the soul and the false body.
Franky: ….I see… so what we saw fly out of that monkey’s mouth a little bit ago was the shadow inside of him.
Robin: …to have that sort of weakness….
Brook: At any rate, throw salt into the mouths of Zombies to take them down!! That’s the trick!! (With only bones) *note: this is another pun. the kanji for コツ is 骨. Don’t have the picture yet so I can’t be for sure if he actually says (骨だけに) but we’ve already seen Brook call himself “Just dead bones”
Robin: ….but, why do you know so much about this island and the Zombies?
Brook: When my shadow was taken 5 years ago, of course I floated about on the ship, but fortunately once I awoke I was able to retrace my steps
and return to the island and fight…. the result was…. a crushing defeat!!
…I became depressed and ran away…. I wanted to die more than anything… I was the only one left alive from my ship….
to some day escape this Demon Triangle… I want to fulfill a promise to my nakama… I ran away from the regret of my life!!!
--but, in my situation, living for a long time, I couldn’t reach any resolution
….that’s why this time… I won’t run away!!! I’ll beat that guy and even take my shadow back!!!
Brook: …well then, I….!! Sorry!! I’ve got to hurry, so farewell!!
Franky: Hold on!!! …while you’re talking… there’s one more question for you to answer!


Scene changes to Moria and the others. The Nami 3 open the zipper in the back of Bearsy and slip out stealthily, unnoticed
Usopp: Luffy…!!!
Nami: What was that!? just now… did you see it!?
Chopper: It’s a shadow… he cut off his shadow!!!
Usopp: That’s what he did!!! That skeleton… it happened to Brook too…
Nami: He said his shadow was taken…. Then this guy took Brook’s too!?
Chopper: I don’t believe it… how can you do something like that??
Perona: hm? Bearsy!! Are you still whispering over there!?
Absalom: You’re strict with Bearsy….
Moria: Kishishishi!! This guy… he’s one more step towards making me the pirate king
Hogback: …Since I met you 10 years ago, I’ve served you for a day like this, when the 900th will be made
If we insert that shadow, and he becomes history’s strongest Zombie, we will definitively have a massive amount of power!!
Absalom: Which brings us ever closer to the day when we rule over graveyards throughout the world!
Perona: And the country of my dreams, where all cute people are changed into Zombies obedient to me, it’s before my eyes!!
Moria: Yes!! No matter what sort of cheeky rascal it is, shall become absolutely obedient, The world will become an obedient society!!
If I have a subordinate of his level… even that bastard Kaidou in the new world wouldn’t have beaten me right!?!
Now, let’s open up his eyes!! kishishishi!!! GYORO!! NIN! BAO! Open the door to the special freezer!!

Absalom: Spider Mice!! Pick up Mugiwara no Luffy’s body and take it back to the ship! Don’t forget to undo the thread.
Spider: Please wait. We have a report.
Absalom: What is it…
Spider: Unfortunately, a moment ago Spider Monkey Talaran Taichou was defeated!!
Absalom: Defeated…? Do you mean to say that his shadow was extracted?
Spider: His shadow was extracted!!!
Hogback: Absalom… there’s only one man who is capable of that…
Spider: The criminal is the chivalrous swordsman Hanauta!! Before I knew it, the number of victims has become great!! This is becoming the second coming of the nightmare from 5 years ago!!
Hogback: …shit. the only man who can disclose a Zombie’s weakpoint to the enemy. How did he find out…. and why is he back here again!??
Perona: I’m listening, but who is this guy?
Absalom: Perona!!! You don’t know his shape!? The source of the master’s troubles is once again on this island….
Moria: How am I supposed to know some stuff like that, freakin’ idiot. You guys go do something about it!!! Now, on to the freezer!!
Spider: Um!! but the present condition…. (sort of clicking their tongue)
Absalom: Idiot! Tell me earlier. If that’s the case we should be able to contain him. Hurry up and take Mugiwara away!!
They carry Luffy outside of the mansion. Nami et al. stare as it happens. They are watching the ceremony


Around the same time, Franky and Robin are running. Franky is crying
Robin: Franky….
Franky: Hauu!! What!! I’m not crying, you idiot!!
Robin: …why is he…. because of that question?
Franky: Shut up!! I can’t help it…. let’s hurry!!
haa.. damnit, I love that damn skeleton!! there’s no one around that good!! damnit…
Robin: Fufu… indeed


Scene changes to Ryuuma (alone)
Ryuuma: ….yohohoho…. just as I thought, you were beaten down but you won’t give up huh?
Brook: Naturally.
Ryuuma: Don’t you know my name!? The Master Fencer whose name anyone withdraws at, Ryuuma….
Brook: Shut up!! You are!! My shadow!!!
Ryuuma: Yohohoho…. my level is different than your flesh!!!
Brook: It’s come back, right at my feet!!!

The scene changes to the special freezer
Moria: I’ve been looking forward to this. When I saw this guy’s body from the Frozen Land, I couldn’t stop trembling
From 500 years ago, this disgusting guy took his last breath after ravaging the oceans….
Sitting here is the legendary ringleader who built up his name amassing countries
and islands under the control of himself and his band of villains!! ---this probably needs a retrans
Hogback: This…. is the ultimate form for a Zombie…
Moria: And now we resurrect another Legend kishishishi!! Now’s the time for the resurrection!! The only one in history….
The Insane Warrior called a Devil!! Oz!! – I have high doubts that he’s actually called Oz, but that’s the best I can come up with for now, taking suggestions on that
A giant appears that makes Moria appear like a small child
