One of the Strawhat pirate crew members, Brook, is obviously a skeleton. How
is it that he's still alive? Even when his shadow is returned, why doesn't he
just ' _move on_ ' like his other companion? Is there any explanation?

How is Brook alive?


Brook ate the [Yomi Yomi no
Mi](http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Yomi_Yomi_no_Mi) devil fruit.

As for why he is a skeleton.
