After reading an account of the various adventures that the Straw Hats have had, Brook resolves to be as much use as he can to prove his worth, but his well-intentioned efforts only manage to annoy or get in the way of the others. Brook then reveals his insecurites to Robin, saying that he'll leave the crew if he proves to be only a burden. Robin tells him that she used to feel similarly, until the Straw Hats came to save her at Enies Lobby, and she had finally found her place. Encouraged, Brook later reflects on how he has found his place after decades of being alone, and resolves to do his best so that he can have stories to tell of his own.
