"Muichiro? Yeah, I haven't seen at all." Mitsuri had just realized. She thought that Muichiro's late, but thinking back about it again, he didn't arrive yet.
"That kid probably forgot about it again. He's an airhead, so he always forgot things like this. I wonder how did he even become a Hashira." Sanemi shakes his head as he wonder how even an airhead like Muichiro could be a Hashira.
Muichiro's strength can't be doubted. Even though he's very young, he had proven that age doesn't matter when it comes to slaying demons. He was recruited by Ubuyashiki himself, so he must be someone that's strong.
Sanemi didn't think much of the boy at all. He mostly avoid every single Hashira as he found most of them pretty annoying. He prefers to be alone most of the time. Even though he didn't like most of them for being annoying, he respects them.
But he would prefer is most of them weren't weirdos. Talking about weirdos, he still despises Zoro and the others. Mostly Zoro, as he lost to the Ronin before. He holds a grudge, not to Zoro but to himself for being so weak. After he sees Zoro's strength and excellent swordsman ship, he acknowledge him, but he still didn't get along with Zoro, though the feeling is mutual.
Law in overall is the ultimate personification of don't judge the book by its cover. He looks scary as fuck, and yet he claims that he's a doctor. Accurately, the surgeon. Yes, he is very knowledgeable in his profession, as Shinobu clarified it. Although he's a doctor, Sanemi still didn't understand why did he always carry a longsword with him.
Joker by far the most dangerous one by far. Even in their group, most of the are distant towards him except Brook. Sanemi can't believe how a 17 year old kid become a boss at his age. It's almost impossible. He's vicious, ruthless and merciless.
He seems to have some relationship with Law as both of the had been proven to have some kind of bad blood. That aside, Joker is also very smart and knows what he's doing. He has no qualms of sacrificing his men if he had to from what Sanemi heard from the rumors.
He can't stand Sanji as he's a big pervert, alongside Brook who always keeps on asking the women if he can see their panties and the fact that he's a skeleton. He wonder how did Brook is even alive at this point?
Not to mention Brook could eat, chew and drink like normal person. Even could taste although he doesn't have any tongue! What's with the hair anyway? How did he still got it even though he's dead?
There are lot of mysteries floating around Brook that he wanted know. But most importantly, how did Brook died? Although he wanted to ask that question, but he keeps asking himself whether its rude to ask ghosts how did they die. Fuck that.
"Oi, skeleton!" He calls out Brook.
"What is it, Sanemi-san?" Brook addresses Sanemi politely with a smile on his face.
"How did you die?" Everyone looks at Brook. That's an offensive question to ask to a dead man. All of them wait for Brook's reaction. Sanemi expected that the skeleton would retort at the question.
"Ah, how did I die eh? That isn't something I would like to recall, but if you insist..." Brook still remember that day as it was just yesterday. Sanemi didn't expect Brook to still be polite after that question.
"I died 50 years ago, at the middle of the sea on my ship." That answer took everyone's attention.
"I was a captain of my ship. Naval warfare is a daily occurrence for me and my crew. Until one day, we lost our battle. Our opponent left us to die, as their weapons were laced with poison. Each of us one by one...succumb to the poison...and die in the middle of Florian Triangle" The whole room goes silent.
"We knew everyone of us will die, sooner or later. For the last time, all of us sing a song together in unison. One by one falls to the ground, dead. As it also got to me..." Brook put his chopsticks away.
"Somehow because of my ability, I was resurrected as a skeleton. Although, I was lost in the middle of the ocean, sailing with no direction of where to go for 50 years." Zoro and Sanji looked down. They remember the first time they met Brook. It was an exhilarating moment.
"I was stuck in that ship alone, forced to reliving my nightmares every time I woke up from my slumber. Dreaming of where all of the things that had happened was all just a dream. Even though it isn't."
"They might have gone from this world, but they have entrusted their will to me. And I will carry it as long as I walk on the surface of this world." Brook stand on his two feet, his head almost hitting the ceiling as he headed to the exit.
"Thank you for the meal. It was delicious. Excuse me for leaving, I have a business to attend." Brook smiled as he open the sliding the door and leaves.
Sanemi look calm on the outside, although he wonder did he go too far. Every single Hashira pity and sympathizes with Brook's fate. They understood the pain of losing someone close to you and being forced to keep reliving the nightmares.
It's enough to turn someone insane, and yet Brook is still optimistic with no complaints about him or his cruel fate. Gyomei is crying non-stop since the start, while Mitsuri started to look at Brook that exited the place with pity.
"Such a poor soul" Gyomei commented. His eyes are filled with tears as he keeps on praying.
"What a sad fate." Uzui agrees with Gyomei.
Truly he had gone through hell of a time... Giyuu thought. Stuck in the same place for 50 years is unimaginable.
"Ah, I need to open my stand tonight. Thank you for the food, and see you later!" Sanji proceed to stand up and head straight towards the door. He limped away as he just recovered from Emotional Damage from Zoro.
"Don't bother trying to flirt. It's not going to work anyway." Zoro could read Sanji's intentions. Sanji just responded by giving him a middle finger.
"Yeah, see you later shitty cook!" Zoro waves goodbye. Zoro didn't mind about the finger. Because he has accomplished his mission on pissing Sanji and ruining his mood tonight.
