Other than that, Brook has certainly gotten to shine this arc. He hasn't really done anything meaningful but it's great to see him be a Straw Hat, to finally see how their dynamic shapes up.
Agreed. This is definitely an awkward time for Brook since he just joined a few moments ago and now something so cathartic is happening to the Straw Hats themselves that it feels hard to care about him like the rest of the crew. But moments like these solidify him as a true Straw Hat.
Seeing him carry Zoro's swords since he knows how important they are to a swordsman, especially Zoro, is cool.
Or being really quick to give away his "life" for them.
If you're in the mood to see some reviews/analyses I'd recommend Merphy Napier. She's a booktuber that makes videos on novels and such but she started One Piece when some commenter kept writing to her on almost every video lol. She just recently caught up last month but her review style and dissection of events is extremely different than most manga/anime reviewers since she's coming from a literary background and it's really enlightening. She has a video for each arc and it's a good way to get a refresher if you find yourself forgetting some past events.
Anyways, have fun!
