by

This article contians spoilers for One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.

Summary

  • Brook’s background is still mysterious, including his time as a battle convoy for a kingdom in the West Blue.
  • Brook’s extended backstory could reveal ties to the World Government and shed light on its secrets.
  • Fans hope for an exploration of Brook’s younger life in One Piece, similar to Sanji’s backstory.

In the current setting of One Piece, the backstories of each Straw Hat crew member aren’t frequently highlighted, but they play a crucial role in shaping the narrative. They generate captivating character moments, intriguing plot developments, and define the motivations and relationships among characters. Moreover, these detailed backstories make the world more immersive and rewarding. For instance, Zoro’s youth as a swordsman and Sanji’s ties to Germa 66 are integral parts of their memorable personalities.

While it’s true that the backstories of most Straw Hat crew members are well-developed, the same can’t be said for Brook, the musical skeleton. Unlike his younger counterparts, Brook is remarkably old, even surpassing characters like Big Mom in age. This means a significant chunk of Brook’s life remains untold in the series. However, many fans speculate that this period in Brook’s life could become crucial in upcoming storylines.

Many Elements Of Brook’s Past Are Still A Mystery

This Includes His Time As A Battle Convoy

Initially, Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates come across Brook, a lone skeletal musician sailing on the sea. Later, during their encounter with Gecko Moria, they uncover that Brook was initially part of an ancient pirate crew which met its end in the Grand Line, causing their demise. Miraculously, thanks to the Revive-Revive Fruit’s power, Brook was granted a second life, but due to the delay in finding his body, he transformed into a skeleton.

They all call me the Soul King! – Brook

As I looked back on Brook’s life, I realized that despite him reaching 38 years old at the time of his death, a significant chunk of his existence remained untold. Moreover, prior to joining the Rumbar Pirates, Brook served as a battle convoy for a kingdom in West Blue. This is where he honed most of his combat skills, yet the identity of the kingdom that employed him initially remains veiled, with no knowledge about its name available.

Brook’s Extended Backstory Could Reveal More Information

This Could Delve Deep Into The Workings Of The World Government

  • Brook Has A Large Amount Of Missing History In His Life
  • He May Be Waiting To Reveal it For An Important Moment

Delving into the intriguing phase of Brooke’s life not only offers insight into how he amassed the strength needed to join the Straw Hat Pirates, but it might also unveil crucial details for the grand finale of this epic series. As we’ve seen with characters like Sanji getting expanded backstories to enrich their narratives, it seems plausible that Oda would delve into Brooke’s earlier years. This exploration could deepen his character and perhaps reveal pivotal information that might benefit the Straw Hats as they approach the climax of their journey in One Piece.

Primarily, given his ties to an official island and kingdom, it’s plausible that Brook, prior to his pirate life, had associations with the World Government. This could mean that he was familiar with their workings long before the Grand Age of Pirates, approximately 50 years before the series began. Consequently, Brook might provide insights into some hidden aspects of the World Government that he initially considered trivial.

Brook Could Have Ties To The World Government

The Newest Chapter Supports This Idea

In the latest installment of “One Piece,” there’s a hint that Brook might know something about the God’s Knights. This implies Gunko could be one of them. His knowledge might stem from his role in a military convoy, implying he may have been connected to the government of “One Piece” at some stage. It’s also possible that he learned this information during his journeys on the Grand Line, but considering how effectively the World Government hides secrets, it seems less probable that this was the source.

I’m afraid this one likely holds an even higher rank… a God’s Knight… – Brook

Fans eagerly anticipate a more detailed account of Brook’s storyline as the series progresses, but given the current pace, it appears that fans may only receive brief insights into his past. However, there’s still a chance that Oda might delve into Brook’s early life before the end of One Piece, much like how Sanji’s backstory was explored on Whole Cake Island.
