Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and Robin, sailing their ship, the Thousand Sunny, through the dangerous waters of the Grand Line. Suddenly, they see a strange skeleton floating towards them through the thick fog, which surprises them all.

As they approach the skeleton, they notice that it is not a regular skeleton but one that seems to be able to move and talk. The strange skeleton introduces himself as Brook, a musician who had been a member of the pirate crew, Rumbar Pirates, about fifty years ago. Brook also reveals that he had eaten a Devil Fruit, which had given him the power to come back as a skeleton after he had died.

The Straw Hat Pirates are amazed by Brook's ability and they invite him to join their crew. Brook accepts their offer and becomes the newest member of the Straw Hat Pirates. The episode then flashes back to before Brook had met the Straw Hats, where he recounts the story of his former crew, the Rumbar Pirates.

Brook tells the story of how the Rumbar Pirates had found a young whale, named Laboon, who had been separated from his family and was constantly trying to ram his head against the walls of the Reverse Mountain in order to find them. The Rumbar Pirates had taken pity on Laboon and decided to take him in as their own, and they had spent years sailing together with him, even singing songs and having fun.

However, tragedy had struck the Rumbar Pirates when they had contracted a devastating disease that had killed all the members except for Brook. With the knowledge that he would soon die, Brook had played a final song for his crewmates before dying, and his soul had been separated from his body, leaving behind only a skeleton.

Brook had continued to play music over the years, hoping that someone would find him and he could join another crew. Finally, he had come across the Straw Hat Pirates, who had not only welcomed him into their crew, but also promised to help him fulfill his promise to Laboon, who was still waiting for the return of his friends.

The episode concludes with the Straw Hats and Brook sailing towards the Florian Triangle, where they hope to find the missing members of the Rumbar Pirates and complete their mission to reunite with Laboon.
