Franky however clarifies that they learned of the weakness to salt, and that they should look for their nakama without shadows thanks to Brook, much to Luffy's delight.

He commends the crew for being able to find out the zombies' weakness. Zoro is curious about his zombie, but nonetheless affirms that they can get their shadows back by finding the three zombies with them and feeding them salt.

Luffy is more concerned that there is no longer anything to eat, despite stuffing his face with a huge block of cheese. The trio wonders how they ended up back on the Thousand Sunny, and Zoro notices that he no longer has a shadow. He is calmed by Franky however, as Zoro and Sanji also come to their senses.

Hearing that Brook and Laboon have not given up on their promise even after fifty years makes Luffy even more excited to make Brook join his crew, and this time the rest of the Straw Hats happily agree.
