Brook screamed as he was dragged down a swirling green vortex. Everything was a blur.

It felt like a hurricane swept everyone up. The pirates all disbanded in separate ways.

Brook screamed as he fell deeper and deeper. The green fog dissipated and a desolate looking land came into view.

CRASH!

The skeleton plowed right into the ground, making a Brook-shaped hole.

Brook could only groan in pain as he laid in his hole.

Suddenly, Brook felt something grab his pants and yank him out.

It was the Fang werewolf and the Robin werewolf!

"AAAAAAAAAH!" Brook screamed as the werewolves pounced on him. He jumped out of the way and was going to run until Robin grabbed his ankle with her teeth, she tore his shoe to shreds and bit down on his feet.

"NO! NO! DON'T EAT ME! GYAAAAAAAAH!" Brook felt the other she-wolf pounce on him, and started licking his skull!

"NO! NOOOOOOO!" Brook started to panic, but giggled. "Yohohohoho! That tickles! Yohohohohohoho!"

Brook felt Robin licking his foot inside her mouth and Fang kept licking his skull.

Now Brook was getting licked and tasted by these monsters.

"YOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO STOP! I'M VERY TICKLISH! YOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Brook laughed and begged for them to stop.

These werewolves weren't really hurting him, until,

CRUNCH!

"OOOWWWW!" Brook felt a sharp pain in his chest. Fang was gnawing on his ribs!

"OW! NOW IT HURTS AND TICKLES!" Brook screeched.

Brook was at his wit's end until the werewolves suddenly stopped.

Their ears perked up, as if hearing a sound. They took off.

"Huh?" Brook looked and saw his attackers leaving. "Oh, they're gone." he sighed with much relief. "I thought I was going to laugh or be scared to death! Although I'm already dead to begin with! Yohohoho!"

But Brook stopped laughing when he realized were he was.

He was right in the middle of a graveyard.

Brook felt terror all through his bones. The graveyard was dark and decaying. Old tombstones were placed here and there, white fog rolled upon the ground. The trees were bare of leaves and completely dead. The sky was filled with black clouds.

"I felt faint..." Brook really wanted to faint right now, but he can't. Right now, he had to find his friends.

He looked around. "How am I suppose to find the rest of the crew?"

"Brook?!"

Brook's non-existent ears perked up. "Huh? That voice!"

He spun around and it was Zoey!

"Oh my gosh! Brook is that you?!"

"Zoey?! What in the world are you doing here?!" Brook was completely flabbergasted.

"I was gonna ask you the same thing!" Zoey said. "You shouldn't be here!" She paused. "Well, I mean, they'll probably make an exception for you. But-"

"What do you mean an exception? What is this place? What's going on?!" Brook was overflowing with questions that needed answers.

Zoey was silent for what felt like forever. Then she took a deep breath and took Brook's hand. "Come with me. Before someone sees us."

Zoey placed her foot down, and it began to sink! Brook could only watch in astonishment as Zoey's entire body sunk into the ground.

"Wait! What's happening?!" Brook tried to get away, but Zoey's grip was surprisingly strong.

She and skeleton sunk underground.

Elsewhere, Nami, Chopper and Sanji had landed in a lake of green, murky water.

"BLECH!" Nami spat out some of the filthy water that got in her mouth. "Where are we?!"

Sanji came out with Chopper slung on his shoulder. "I knew we were gonna fall into some weird stuff again."

Nami cupped some water in her hand. It felt so thick and clammy. "This water is disgusting!"

"The water's not the only thing wrong here." Sanji noted.

Nami looked off in the distance and gasped. They were in a dark, spooky wasteland. It looked like Thriller Bark, only much more dark and gloomy.

"This place looks like a nightmare!" Chopper squealed.

"Where's Luffy? And Brook?" Nami wondered.

"Lost. Just like we are." Sanji said.

The crew got out of the water.

"Great. Now what do we do?!" Chopper said.

Sanji looked around and spotted something. "Look! There's a village over there!"

Nami and Chopper looked their friend's way and saw an old house sitting on a hill.

It was a big, old wooden heap, with two pointy towers like witches' hats. The shutters sagged on their hinges, and ivy crawled up the walls.

"Yikes! That place is scarier than the black mansion!" Chopper said, clinging to Sanji's head.

"HEY! You only do this to Zoro! Get off!" Sanji yelled, pulling the little reindeer off.

"You think someone up there can help us?" Nami asked Sanji.

"I don't think so. But knowing Luffy, he's stupid enough to walk into a creepy place like that." Sanji sighed. "We might as well check it out."

Sanji, Nami, and Chopper ventured up the swampy area and went up the hill to the old house.

The crew walked up the rickety front steps. Nami and Chopper whimpered at the dragon-shaped door knocker.

Sanji reached for the handle and knocked it with three loud raps.

The door opened with a long, eerie creak.

Lightning cracked across the sky as Sanji, Nami, and Chopper stared up at a towering giant of a man.

"EYAAAAAAAAAH!" Nami and Chopper screamed, hugging each other.

Sanji bit down on his cigarette.

The man's face was a hideous sight to behold. His long, muscular legs stretched in his black pants, but he didn't wear a shirt. So the crew saw the nasty scars and stiches on his massive chest.

His square face was pale next to his coal black hair. There was a stitch that went all across his forehead and he had one on each wrist.

There was even a stitch all the way across his neck.

"Hrmmm?" the man groaned. His voice was deep and grave.

"Uh, we're looking for a boy in a straw hat and a skeleton with an afro." Sanji said. "Have you seen either of them?"

"No," the hulking man pointed to the right. "You can try the village over there."

The pirates looked over and there was a small village off in the distance.

"Okay! Thanks!" Nami said quickly. She pulled Chopper and Sanji away and decided to make a hasty retreat.

She wished she had more strength to carry friends away to get out of there faster. The monstrous looking man's intense gaze practically seared a hole in Nami's head as she hurried down the hill.

The gang made it back to the bottom of the hill. "That was too close!" Nami sighed with much relief.

"That guy looked like a zombie!" Chopper said. He eyes widened. "What if Moria is on this island and pulling the same scheme again?!"

"Then we better find Luffy and Brook before something happens to them!" Nami said. "Come on! To the village!" Nami ran off.

"As you command, Nami dear!" Sanji gushed as he pranced after her.

Chopper followed. "Wait for me!"

The pirates headed straight for the village. As they left, however, Zoey and Brook emerged from the ground.

"H-How did you do that?!" asked a bewildered Brook. "Are you a devil fruit user?!"

"No," Zoey said. "I'm a zombie."

Brook took a step back. "What?!"

"I'm a zombie." Zoey said.

"B-But you can't be!" the skeleton said, feeling scared.

Zoey sighed. "Guess you need proof." She grabbed her head and pulled it right off her body.

Brook screamed, he couldn't help it.

"If this isn't proof that I'm one of the undead, I don't know what is." Zoey said as he tossed her head in her hand.

Zoey put her head back on. She saw Brook looking ready to faint.

"You really don't have to be afraid." Zoey said. "But I really am a zombie."

It felt like Brook was living in a nightmare. This whole world can't be real, but it certainly felt real.

"So...this is really happening, is it?" Brook said, trembling.

Zoey nodded. "Yep, it is." she said. "I take it you've never met a zombie before, have you?"

"W-Well, not a friendly one." Brook admitted. "I feel a bit lightheaded..."

"Then we better get you inside before you fall over." Zoey joked. "Verona can help you."

"Verona?"

"That's right. And she's a friend to all monsters, ghouls, and ghosts." Zoey took Brook's hand. "Come on, let's go."

"B-But I can't!" Brook replied. "One of my friends was turned into a werewolf!"

"Then you're in good hands. Verona is a witch!"

Brook gasped. "A witch?!"

"Yeah, she's the perfect person who can help you."

Zoey and Brook went up the stairs and to the porch. Brook gulped as Zoey knocked on the door.

The frightening giant poked his head out the door. "Yes?"

"AAAAAAAH!" Brook screamed and jumped into Zoey's arms.

"Hey, Morris." Zoey said. "Is Verona here?"

The giant grumbled and nodded. He ushered the zombie and skeleton to come in.

"Let's go, Bones." Zoey said as she carried the skeleton inside the mansion.
