Powers & Abilities Oda just gave Brooke a power up

#1


so we see that Hitetsu gave the SH kabuto armor and some new katanas. Now while Luffy and chopper are likely just keeping a sword as an ornament, Brooke is actually a swordsman, meaning that this might actually be a power up for him.

So what do you guys think? Is it a ranked sword? does it have any powers? leave your thoughts

Im all for brook keeping that armor.

An upgraded sword for him would be nice as well.

I could use this to push my idea of apoo vs brook, nice :kata:
Isn't Brook kinda immune to Apoo..

I mean he technically doesn't have ears ...or the organs to allow such...

I can see Oda creating something with this .

that would be too big of an advantage, i would guess...

im just hoping for a battle of musicians. Maybe he can get traitor hiyori as warmup fight.:myman:

It all depends on whether he can channel ice through it like Soul Solid. That might take some training.

There's a good chance that's just the Soul Solid with a new grip, Brook wouldn't give up a perfectly good blade so easily.

:steef: Brook learning to use some Samurai Iaijutsu/Battojutsu techniques though.

soul solid's ice powers always seemed to be due to his DF so I'd assume he can do it with any sword

I think hitetsu would have mentioned if it was a good sword. the way he made a deal about nidai and huge deal about enma

Meh. Imho it's just for show.
This. It's just ornamental. He'll use Soul Solid when it's time for shit to go down. I could see Brook getting a new sword eventually though. He's been using Soul Solid since he was introduced (even back when he was still alive too I think? fuck that sword is old as shit lmao) so it's probably time for a new one. I don't think it will be a traditional katana style sword, however. Probably another cane sword, or maybe a rapier style sword. There was a bit of overlap between Zoro and Brook pre-TS since they are both swordsmen. They differentiated on their styles, Zoro being a power-type that uses mostly devastating slashes, and Brook being a speed-type that uses thrusts and fast cuts. Oda made them contrast more obviously post-TS by having Brook find the hidden potential of his Devil Fruit and use it in tandem with his sword resulting in less of an overlap. Because of this I think Brook will continue to use rapier-style swords and obviously Zoro will continue with katanas. Katanas can thrust well enough but they are optimized for slashing. Swords like Soul Solid and Durandal (Cavendish's sword) are more suited for Brook's fencing-esque style.

So yeah, it's just samurai cosplay but I won't count out the possibility of a replacement eventually. :kayneshrug:
