So this is a little three parter that I thought might be nice to do.
So, ghosts of the past... well, Brook is the obvious one. Watch this and tell me you weren't sad.

And while we're on the subject of sad, let's not forget the one moment where we all cried. The first death of a crew member.

One Piece isn't just a kid's story. There's not much death, but when there is, it means something. At this time of year it's really easy to get caught up in the here and now, but try something for me.
Doesn't matter what religion, creed, race, gender, or flavour of ice cream you are. Remember someone you've lost. Might be the grandparent you never knew, might be the closest friend you've ever had. Just take a moment.
Merry Christmas.
