: While sailing on the Thousand Sunny , the crew discovers a drifting barrel in the ocean. Thinking it might contain treasure or food, they open it, only for a massive red flare to shoot into the sky—unknowingly signaling their position to an enemy.

: Shortly after the flare, a sudden storm drags the crew into the foggy Florian Triangle. The atmosphere quickly turns eerie as they encounter a massive, ruined ghost ship emerging from the mist.

: On the ghost ship, the Straw Hats meet a living skeleton with an afro, drinking tea and singing softly. Despite his ghastly appearance, he is polite and humorous, famously greeting Nami with a request to see her panties.

: True to his impulsive nature, Luffy is immediately delighted by the "talking skeleton" and asks him to join the crew. To the horror of the rest of the crew, Brook casually accepts the invitation. Critical Context for the Arc Episode 337 | One Piece Wiki | Fandom
