The Secret Journey of Pirate World

"Mr. Chigurh...can I put it back on first? It's so hot..."

Brooke said shyly.

Jack on the side shivered for a while and said, "Hot? Obviously we are so cold, are you a soul? Why are you so cold?"

That's right, Brooke is already in a soul state.

Ordinarily, Brook's use of the fruit of the underworld has always been in a very shallow state, and now he doesn't even intend to develop its ability at all, but just regards it as a fruit ability that "can revive a capable person once".

The "soul out of body" technique was only mastered by Brooke "two years later" in the original work.

And during the two years of training, Brooke also used his soul power in his attacks. Before that, Brooke's fighting power came purely from sword skills.

On the one hand, it is because Brooke is not aware of the real function of the fruit of the underworld, and on the other hand... it is because he is no longer a fruit-capable user!

Chigurh had figured this out the first time he set eyes on him.

Probably at the time of death, the fruit demon had been reborn. As for Brook's "specialness" and the ability to develop "soul out of body" in the original work, it is because his "soul" is different.

But it doesn't matter that Brook didn't master the "soul out of body", Zieg directly "helped" him to drag the soul out.

"You no longer have a body, so you won't feel the 'hot' feeling. The reason for this illusion is that your 'soul' is too fragile, and you haven't exerted the effect of the fruit of the underworld at all." Zigg explained .

Similarly, Jack felt cold, not because the temperature really dropped, but because he was affected by the breath of "Yellow Spring".

Otherwise, with Jack's body, if even he felt cold, the surrounding sea should have been frozen long ago!

Generally speaking, "soul" does not make people chill, neither Homiz nor Perona's "Piao Piao" has this kind of breath.

Zieg speculates that this is because Brooke has "died" once, so there is a different breath in his soul, which is the so-called "hell spring" breath.

After observing carefully, after Brook seemed to be in the state of the soul of "Ghost", he stretched out his hand... and "pushed" him back into his body.

It is said to be a body, but there are only bones left.

Obviously, Brook's state is not a resurrection - a skeleton, without any signs of life at all!

"Well, I'm finally back... I still feel at ease when I have a body." Brooke writhed his body.

"No, no, it's better not to feel at ease with this kind of body." Jack complained from the side.

Ziggy thought about it, and asked about Brook's state just felt, "Your feeling when you died... and where did you feel you were, can you tell me again?"

Rather than saying that the ability of the fruit of the underworld is "resurrected once", it is better to say that it enables the capable person to return from the "Yellow Spring Township", or it enables the capable person to adapt to the atmosphere of the "Yellow Spring Township".

It is precisely because he has truly entered Huangquan Township that Brook's state is not only a pure soul, but the relationship between him and his "body" is no longer soul and flesh, but more biased... Undead and "horcruxes" ".

It's just that Brook himself doesn't think so now, but thinks that he is still alive in the state of a skeleton, so he has not strengthened himself by cultivating a special soul, and is still strengthening the "Horcrux".

When he just ate the fruit, Brook didn't even know what the ability was, and didn't activate its effect.

until……

After dying once, his soul passively entered Huangquan Township, and he was truly endowed with some special powers by the fruit ability. However, he lost the Huangquan fruit after death, and what he had was only a specialized soul.

For the next fifty years, Brook kept "hiding" in the Horcrux again, and never came out again.

Otherwise, the shadow would not have been taken away five years ago. With the soul that has mastered the breath of the underworld, it can restrain other soul fruits!

Brook heard Zieg's words and responded, "Of course I didn't...ask...question..."

If he had eyes now, he would definitely be able to see his eyes being absent-minded, but unfortunately...he didn't.

Then I saw Brook fell asleep.

Yes, it was Chigurh who used hypnosis.

Brooke's memory of the time of death is already very vague, just like a person who can't remember the content of his sleep after waking up.

Zieg didn’t understand Brook’s previous description at all—according to Brook, he came back from a “very cold” Huangquan Township, and was lost in the fog for a year before he found his body.

Where is Huangquan Township?

If it's a fixed place, then when Brook "comes back", shouldn't he be in the mist?

If the entrance and exit are positioned at the place where he died, then... he shouldn't get lost, right?

Zieg didn't expect that Brooke could recall more. At this time, he just hinted at his memory, and then hypnotized him, ready to go directly into the dream to see!

In Brooke's dream, Zieg stood at the perspective of a third party and saw his experience at that time...

I also saw...

another part of the world...

Huangquan Township - the world of the dead, is called by the people of Blue Star.

It is not in a specific location, but in the same absolute space as reality, or in other words, with Blue Star, just like the "spiritual world" in the mysterious original work.

Belonging to a world composed of special information, it is only the information that constitutes "Huangquan Township", and it is the will of the dead...

One Piece World always pays attention to the power of will, and death is only the state of the body, and its will still carries information, which will not dissipate immediately, which is the "soul" in a narrow sense.

However, it is clear that Huangquan Township is not a place for "gathering together after death". There are no living beings here, and it is not a place where "people" can continue to live after death, otherwise Brook would not be willing to "come back"...

The stronger the will, the longer the person may be able to maintain himself in Huangquan Township after death, but relatively speaking, they will still be completely reduced to pure "information" in a short period of time.

Unlike other "souls" who entered Huangquan Township, although the fruit demon has left with death, his soul already has the ability to control the breath of Huangquan!

It is also this kind of power that makes Brooke's soul not quickly assimilated into a dead soul in Huangquan Township, but absorbs the power of Huangquan Township, and gradually presents a semi-physical controllable "soul".

At this time, Brook was wandering in Huangquan Township, often startled by other undead who "passed by", and fled around timidly, and then...following his desire for the world of the living, Brook instinctively... I found an exit not far away, and "crossed" back.

From the material world to Huangquan Township, it is only the natural entry of the soul, or "information" after death, without the need for an entrance, but after semi-materialization, an entrance is needed to get out of it.

Huangquan Township and the material world themselves overlap, and this entrance and exit closest to Brook...

Through Brook's perspective, Zigg saw the bushes and the giant elephant...

It's just that Brook was in a panic and was in a trance. He didn't care about these, but continued to plunge into the fog!

At this time, Zieg also understood that the nearest entrance and exit was on the back of the giant elephant, and this special door, Zieg had seen it not long ago—it was those torii gates.

In Wano Country's esoteric symbolism, Torii is also considered to be the entrance and exit of this world and "that world"...

Although the aborigines had been slaughtered at that time, the "torii" there still served as an entrance.

It's just that after Brooke, he couldn't remember these things clearly. He only remembered that Huangquan Township was a very cold place. After he "come back", he got lost in the fog...
