The crew was silent for a while. Robin was the first to break the silence.

"So... How are you occupying Frisk's Body? Or are you some sort of split personality disorder?" Said Robin

"Hahaha! Good question! I suppose you can see it that way, but I am much more complicated than that." Said Chara

"Oh? How so?" Said Robin

"Well, to start with, I'm not some random personality that Frisk has. I'm an entire SOUL that is inside her.

"What!?" Said, everyone

"Y...You monster! Give Frisk back her body!" Said Usopp

"Give it back!" Cried Chopper with Usopp

"Oh please… Calm down, you clowns. Let me continue explaining." Said Chara

With that, the two quieted down.

"Frisk is the owner of this body, so I can't just steal her body without consent anyway. Also, I'm a dead ghost that is stuck with Frisk for reasons I'm not willing to tell you guys." Said Chara

Everyone was thinking about what Chara was saying. Sanji spoke up

"...Chara-san, assuming what you said is true... What happened to Frisk-san?" Said Sanji

"She died. Also, just call me Chara." Said Chara immediately

"...!"

So it was true… Frisk was dead… Everyone was grieving Frisk...

"Oh, relax, you clowns. She dies all the time." Said Chara

"WHAT!?" Said, everyone

"I'm confused now… Isn't that what your furry doctor said over there? And didn't you all reach that conclusion already?" Asked Chara as if dying was no big deal.

"...Okay, I think we need to go a step back… Just how did Frisk….. die?" Said Nami trying to calm herself

"I can, but I'm sure over there and Furry doctor can explain better." Said Chara

Everyone turns their head to Luffy and Chopper.

"... Do you guys remember the Baron?" Asked Luffy

"..."

Memories started to come back for everyone slowly. The island… The arguments… Separating... And then disappearing.

"The flower monster next to the Baron absorbed you all…Frisk saved me from being eaten too… And had me find Luffy while she stalled the Baron and the monster… By the time we came back together… Frisk…. Frisk…." Said Chopper with tears in his eyes

"...What happened next Chopper…" Said Zoro

"Frisk... Frisk's… body covered in arrows!"

"...!"

"... I then had Chopper take Frisk away while I dealt with the baron…" Said Luffy

It was unsaid, but everyone knew what Luffy did to the Baron.

"I...I removed all her arrows… But… No matter what I did… Her heart wasn't breathing!" Chopper started to burst into tears. Nam hugged Chopper

"It's okay…. It's okay…" Said Nami with tears in her eyes too.

"After the Baron was gone… You guys came back…" Said Luffy

"Which brings us to now~," Said Chara

Everyone stared at her.

"So… Now that we are all up to page… What did you mean by she dies all the time?" Said Robin

Robin was right. Chara did mention something weird like that.

"There is no hidden meaning there. Frisk dies all the time." Said Chara

"...Do you mean to say that Frisk is immortal?" Said Zoro

"Ha! You're a sharp one, aren't you? Not quite, though. To put it metaphorically and literally… She is too stubborn to die." Said Chara

"W...What the hell are you saying! You're not making sense!" Yelled Usopp

"Ugh… How does Frisk tolerate you? If you let me continue, maybe you'll find out?" Said Chara with a malicious smile

"Yeeeee! She's scary!" Said Usopp hiding behind Zoro

"As I was saying. I'm sure you guys noticed Frisk's recovery from injuries is much much slower than the average person." Said Chara

Chopper nodded his head while hiding behind Usopp.

"That's because Frisk has a very unique ability. Technically you all have it too, but I know that you guys will never reach it to the point of Frisk's level."

"...And that is?" Said Zoro

"Determination." Said Chara

"Determination? You mean firmness of purpose; resoluteness.?" Asked Usopp

"Yeah. that Determination. As simple as that. People naturally have Determination, and it varies people by people. I can see that you guys here have a lot of Determination. Especially the straw hat and that green swordsman over there. It's pretty impressive." Said Chara

"..."

"However… Frisk takes it to a whole nother level. She literally is too determined to die.

Remember when Frisk was burnt up like a toast?" Said Chara

"..."

Everyone recalls Frisk being frequently treated by Chopper in skypiea, and it is a miracle that she woke back up.

"It is a miracle. However, it's a miracle caused by Frisk. She was too determined to stay with you clowns, so she refused to die despite how anyone else would have passed into the afterlife in that situation." Said Chara

"...!"

"Also, I don't exactly know what happened, but I do know that Frisk reset too many times recently." Said Chara

"...What do you mean by reset?" Said Nami

"...Sigh… Frisk will be upset if I explain this, but I think you guys should know so that you all can stop burdening her. I already explained that she is too determined, so she refused to die, right? Well, she does die still, and there are two scenarios when it happens. When her Determination falters, which rarely happens. The other scenario is when her body has been injured too much. Such as the time when her head was chopped off."

"You mean that's happened before to Frisk-san before?!" Said Sanji in horror

"Oops. I gave too much information. Anyways~ When she does die, normal people would go to the afterlife in peace, right? However, Frisk refuses to do that, being the stubborn girl and uses her Determination to not die. This is where the reset kicks in. Now listen closely… Frisk goes back in time to the point before her body was destroyed so that she can do a better job."

"...!"

Everyone was in shock… Thinking about what Chara just said.

"Does that mean… Frisk has already died previously during our journey with her?" Said Zoro

"Yeah." Said, Frisk

It made sense of how Chara was able to fight Aokiji and survive the impossible wounds.

"H….How many times… Did she…...D...Die?" Said Usopp

"Oh well, I can't say I know because this ability is reserved for Frisk. However, I do know that it's pointless in counting anymore~" Said Chara

"..."

"...As much as I hate to say this… Why couldn't she reset this time?" Said Robin in a somber tone

"... There's one thing that I didn't mention. Having Determination allows you to do many feats that should be impossible. However, there is a sacrifice made every time…First, any injury Frisk receives becomes harder and harder to heal because the body has been pushed too far and is past the limit already. The second one is much worse and is why only Frisk can use this ability despite everyone having Determination… When you reset… You will experience the pain you suffered before dying over and over again every time you reset… Clearly, you guys understand why no one else can do this… Anyone else would just break in that situation." Said Chara

Nami couldn't handle it and started to cry. To think that Frisk suffered so much… Sanji and Usopp started to comfort Nami. Both are still shocked too that the poor girl died many times already. Everyone looked down. Feeling guilt for letting a comrade suffer so much even if they didn't know.

"In conclusion… Even Frisk broke both mentally and physically...Too tired from everything... Which is why she gave the torch to me." Said Chara

"...Frisk said she'll be back." Said Luffy

"Aww, here I was trying to guilt-trip you guys constantly~." Said Chara

Everyone stared at Chara.

"...What do you mean?" Said Robin

"Well~ the cat's out of the bag, so I might as well explain. I mean, what your straw hat boy said is correct. Frisk will come back. After all, I am just a ghost, and this is Frisk's body~."

"...When will she come back?" Said Zoro narrowing his eyes

"I don't know." Said Chara

"Huh?"

"It's no joke. I really don't know. Frisk's SOUL is battered up and too tired right now. She needs a long rest. Until then… You guys are stuck with me :)" Said Chara

"..."

Everyone was silent. Processing this massive information Chara provided.

"Okay. Welcome to our crew," Said Luffy

"Luffy!" Said, everyone

"Frisk made a promise that she'll come back. I believe in her. And Frisk's friend is my friend." Said Luffy confidently

"...!"

"Also…Before Frisk left… Told me to tell you guys that she's sorry without leaving without notice." Said Luffy

"...!"

"Frisk…." Said Usopp with tears in his eyes

"Frisk-san…" Said Sanji

"Frisk!" Cried Chopper

"Frisk…" Said Zoro

"...Frisk..." Said Robin

"Frisk...!" Cried Nami

"...Yeah! So let's be ready to greet her when Frisk comes back, everyone!" Said Luffy

"Yeah!" Said, everyone

"So… Now we need to find out about who you are exactly." Said Zoro

Everyone turned to Chara, and Chara just smiled.
