Chapter 442 - Ghost Ships. Ghost Ships.

And a skeleton named Brook shows up, then Luffy just invites him to join the crew. #OnePiece
Oh. My. #OnePiece
Chapter 443 - So...Brook is a skeleton because he died, but ate some devil fruit that gave him the ability to come back to life. However, his soul got lost on its way back to the body and he was already decomposed. Oh, and his shadow was stolen somehow. Math checks out. #OnePiece
So, Brook is kind of like a vampire in that the sun will destroy him. That's why he refused to join Luffy...yet. Oh, and they end up running into a ghost island named Thriller Bark. Nice. #OnePiece
Chapter 444 - A story of this chapter in 4 parts. Oh goodness. Ghost island! #OnePiece
Chapter 445 - As Usopp, Nami, and Chopper travel through the forrest at night, it gets creepy.

Also, those zombie panels are fantastic. I kind of want someone to make a #OnePiece Zombies AU similar to the Marvel Zombies AU now...
Chapter 446 - We meet the Doctor, who is a creep. He definitely is up to something. Also, invisible person tries to attack Nami while she's taking a bath. My guess is that person is somehow connected to the Doctor or the Doctor himself. #OnePiece
The chapter ends with Luffy and the rest of the gang going off to find Nami, Usopp, and Chopper. Also, they scare the Cerberus pepper. #OnePiece
That was supposed to read pupper. Thanks Auto-Correct
Chapter 447 - Luffy tames the Cerberus and the bad Doctor admits he wants to turn in everyone for the bounty. But, as our lost crew run through the mansion they find an old picture if Cindry. #OnePiece
Basically, the Doc is making new living creatures by stitching creatures together and doing his best Doc Frankenstein impression, it seems. So...huge creep. But why? #OnePiece
All of us feel like Franky sometimes #OnePiece
Chapter 448 - Well, they realize Cindry is a zombie. Oh goodness. Also, there's a bounty hunter among them.

After Luffy and Franky smash some zombie butt, they find out who is on the island and they're dangerous. #OnePiece
The OG 3 Straw Hats. Love this. #OnePiece
Chapter 449 - Two things: I am as big a softy as Franky these days and I am ready for this horror manga story arc. #OnePiece
Get you someone who looks at you the way Luffy looks at these zombies #OnePiece
Chapter 450 - This is going to be an interesting assault on the Haunted House #OnePiece
Chapter 451 - Usopp, Nami, and Chopper are...uhm...in a garden. The rest of the crew is in the house and disappearing one at a time. This is not great. #OnePiece
Chapter 452 - Well, time to battle some Zombies. My goodness. #OnePiece
Chapter 453 - A lot is happening in Thriller Bark. So many zombie issues. But look who just fell out of the sky. #OnePiece
Chapter 454 - A story in 4 parts. #OnePiece
Look at this art. Also, can this be a real animated short? #OnePiece
I am Brook, my kids are Franky. #OnePiece
Chapter 455 - So, Brook explains the zombies as well as the power of Moira that stole his shadow.

...

Then we see Luffy's shadow stolen. Oh goodness. #OnePiece
This is nto good. Moira's powers combined with the messed up doctor basically create undear puppets & embue them with the spirit of others...through their shadows. It's such a creepy power. Fitting with the zombie theme of this Thriller Bark arc. #OnePiece
I hear Danny Elfman music in my head while reading the Thriller Bark arc... #OnePiece
Chapter 456 - Brook has a plan and knows how to stop the zombies. He passes that info along to Robin and Franky. Then...we see Luffy passed out and Moira is showing us the zombie getting Luffy's powers #OnePiece
Chapter 457 - The giants has Luffy's shadow now and arises...with Luffy's personality. So, it's hungry. Chopper is finally accepting he was wrong about this vile doctor and then...Nami is kidnapped. Luckily, Franky and Robin finally meet up to help. #OnePiece
Chapter 458 - The giant with Luffy's shadow is fed and about to go on a rampage. Brook is battling his shadow and the Straw Hats are...well, sleepy. Not good.

Oh, and Nami is still kidnapped. #OnePiece
Chapter 459 - Getting ready to head back and help Brook we roll back to an early story. Brook was part of the crew that Laboom the whale was waiting on returning! I love seeing a small early story coming back like this. #OnePiece
Chapter 460 - Luffy has a plan. He takes down Moira, Sanji will save Nami, and Franky / Zoro will go for Brook. Looks like a good plan. Except, you know, Giant Zombie Luffy #OnePiece
Chapter 461 - Luffy and Company enter first. Luffy goes straight for Moira while Chopper and Robin take on the bad Doctor. Chopper has a personal grudge against this monstrous fraud who calls himself a doctor. #OnePiece
Usopp and the others encounter the ghosts after getting past the Luffy zombie. But the ghosts don't effect Usopp because he is too much of a pessimist. Loving that face. #OnePiece
Absalom is forcing Nami to marry him while unconscious. That's so messed up. I hope someone smacks that turd around soon. #OnePiece
Absalom is a Biblical name, for those who don't know. It was one of King David's sons in the OT. Absalom eventually led an army to try to overthrow his father & slept with all his Dad's concubines. He estableidh Hebron as the capital again & declared himself King. #OnePiece
David was then forced out of Jerusalem. Eventually, David & his supporters went to war with Absalom for the crown. In the final battle, Absalom was eventually beaten. While King David gave explicit orders not to kill Absalom, David's Captain Joab did it anyway, brutally #OnePiece
So ended Absalom's rebellion.

Now, did Oda name Absalom for the Biblical son of David? How should I know. I just find that they have the same name very interesting. Just my personality... #OnePiece
The power of pessimism #OnePiece
Chapter 462 - Brook is knocked down, but Zoro and Franky are there to help. Also, Sanji finally made it to Nami and Absalom. However, the monster with Luffy's shadow is making a big old mess destroying so many zombies #OnePiece
Chapter 463 - Luffy attacks Moira, however is blocked by a shadow! He gets a hit in, but it takes some doing. Sanji has also found Nami and is just...smacking around Absalom. You love to see it. #OnePiece
Chapter 464 - Sanji admits his jealous about Absalom. Also...that he wish he has the invisibility powers to creep on girls. That was his dream. The chapter just is full of Sanji smacking around Absalom & talking like a creep. #OnePiece
Usopp is now dealing with the Ghost Princess who has an idea on how to beat Usopp. #OnePiece
Chapter 465 - So, Perona was also a ghost. Or was she? Usopp (as Sniper King) figured out that she was projecting herself from her actual body. He figured out the trick! #OnePiece
When Usopp can calm himself down & focus, he's so clever. Love it. #OnePiece
Chapter 466 - Usopp wins against Perona. He won with trickery, technology, and deception. I love that last panel. #OnePiece
This battle is going to be intense. We already kind of see the end, which looks bad. But still. #OnePiece
Chapter 467 - Great battle. Great finish. Love it.

Also, Brook has his shadow back. So, that's good. #OnePiece
Chapter 468 - Is...is this a not thinly veiled critique of the capitalist healthcare systems? #OnePiece
The doctor is one of the biggest monsters we have met to date. He is horrific in his actions and attitude. His disregard for human life for his own...desires is so gross. #OnePiece
Chapter 469 - 3 of the moments that will stick with me from this chapter. #OnePiece
Is it just me or does Oars give off kind of a classic Doomsday vibe? #OnePiece #dccomics
Chapter 470 - Oars takes out the entire Straw Hat crew minus Luffy as Luffy is out chasing Moria. Oh goodness. This is not good.

How often have I said that and it turned out fine? Like...a few times a week, right? #OnePiece
Chapter 471 - One word: Yaaaaaaaas! #OnePiece
This. All of this is why I read #OnePiece
Chapter 472 - Perona is escaping. The crew takes down Oars, temporarily. And now we have a visitor for Moria. The visitor is Bartholomew Kuma, another Warlord of the Sea. And has a Bible, for some reason. #OnePiece
Chapter 473 - Perona is trying to steal the Sunny, but Nami tries to stop her. Then Kuma shows up and is a creep.

But the sun is coming and it isn't looking good for everyone getting their shadows back. #OnePiece
Chapter 474 - Blackbeard is a new Warlord! Also, the government is afraid another Warlord is going to be taken out by the Straw Hats. Good. Be afraid.

Oh, and Brook came carrying salt to help them take out Moria (who is inside Oars now). #OnePiece
Chapter 475 - The battle between Moria inside Oars vs the Straw Hats rages on and it is a doozy. Simultaneously, lost Luffy finds some pirates who want to help him. With some kind of secret power. All right, you got me interested in it. #OnePiece
Chapter 476 - The folks helping Luffy have figured out how to manipulate shadows. They are now going to take a bunch of powerful shadows they have captured and shove them into Luffy to beef him up.

Also, the rest of the crew is working on Oars and are seeing success! #OnePiece
Chapter 477 - Uhm...this is looking not so good #OnePiece
Chapter 478 - So we have shadow infused Luffy on the scene and that power is amazing! #OnePiece
Chapter 479 - Yes! Luffy wins. Great fight. #OnePiece
Chapter 480 - Okay...now he knocked out Oars. Was Tubthumping and got back up again, but the Straw Hats working together finally took him down. #OnePiece
Chapter 481 - Just when you think it is over, Moria pulls in all the shadows at once and powers up. But the Straw Hats stand firm in the face of great evil...and the looming sunshine which could disintegrate them #OnePiece
Chapter 482 - The ending of this chapter. The sun rising and the shadows returning concurrently. It's a lot. #OnePiece
Chapter 483 - No sooner does Moria get defeated does another start attacking. These stupid Warlords. #OnePiece
Chapter 484 - Kuma swats aside the Straw Hat crew like they are nothing and gives them an ultimatum: Give him Luffy, or die. They refuse. So... #OnePiece
Chapter 485 - So...cyborg, eh? And he offers a compromise with Zoro. Kuma pulls all the pain and suffering that Luffy felt and shoved it onto Zoro. He had to feel all the pain Luffy did. It should have killed him. It didn't. #OnePiece
Chapter 486 - Zoro is down, but alive. Sanji & Robin find out what he did, but Sanji forces everyone else to keep it a secret. Then they feast.

Brook & Luffy have a conversation where Luffy says he saw Laboon. Then the chapter ends with the start of a Brook flashback #OnePiece
Chapter 487 - Brook is reminded of the story of how he met Laboon. It is a sad tale of how the crew...well, died leaving behind only Brook. Just...heartbreaking. #OnePiece
Chapter 488 - It...it's fine. I am fine. Not sad at all. #OnePiece
Chapter 489 - Brook is officially part of the crew! Yay! #OnePiece
But then that last page happens and...uh oh! Poor Ace! #OnePiece
Brook finally being able to bury his compatriots from the Rumbar Pirates is a good ending for that chapter in his life. Being able to move onward w/ the Straw Hats is great.

Now the Ace predicament. I feel like Luffy is now going to steer the crew to save his bro. #OnePiece
Chapter 490 - Moving on up to the Red Line. Zoro is finally up and about, trying to strengthen himself again. #OnePiece
The chapter ends with...MERMAIDS! #OnePiece
