Is Brook able to drown?


It is known that the _Yomi Yomi no Mi_ fruit will only revive its user once,
and also that Devil Fruit users can't swim, so I was wondering... **What would
happen if Brook falls into the ocean?** I mean, even if he's alive, as a
skeleton he has no lungs, so he should just be unable to go back to the
surface, shouldn't he?




He's just a skeleton obviously, so he's not really breathing, however, when
his body gets drowned slowly by the seawater, his strength begins to fade away
(Chapter 493, page 7):

And from this scene, I imagine if he falls into the ocean, like all Devil
Fruit users, he will be powerless and be unable to resurface unless helped.
