Brook,
the Straw Hat Pirates' musician, is also a highly skilled swordsman who
combines fencing-style swordplay, speed, music, and the supernatural abilities
of the Yomi Yomi no Mi. His main weapon after the timeskip is Soul Solid, a
sword imbued with the chilling energy of the underworld.
Brook's
manga debut was in Chapter 442. As of September 20, 2026, the latest officially
released chapter is Chapter 1193; Chapter 1194 was scheduled for the following
issue after a publication break.
