Chapter 52: Return to Sabaody
Seeing the state of the crew, Brook couldn't help but wonder—if soul music could cause harm, could it also heal? With that in mind, he decided to test it out. Playing a requiem followed by a lullaby, he hoped it would help his crew recover.
Surprisingly, it worked. Redfield immediately felt much better, while Fish-Man Tom and Crocus managed to get back on their feet.
Silva and the Qilin Lion sat up, casting resentful looks at Brook. Shakky and Antonio's expressions were no longer ones of shock, instead softening as they drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Even Parrot and the Memory Seahorse, who had been rolling their eyes back, closed them and returned to slumber.
"Haha~ My bad! I'm sure everyone will forgive me!"
Brook chuckled, brushing off their glares. He was already thinking about how to further develop his soul music—it seemed to have great potential and was worth exploring.
...
About an hour later, Shakky and Antonio finally woke up. The first thing they did was check their bodies, still shaken by the terrifying experience of watching themselves collapse.
"Brook, you bastard!!! I thought you killed me! I saw my own corpse!"
Shakky screamed and immediately charged at Brook, kicking him a few times to vent her fear. It felt like she had truly died once—an experience that made her cherish life even more.
"Calm down, calm down. It was just an out-of-body experience."
