I see Brook losing to her, but only after he's completed his mission, and only after beating someone significant first. We've been away from Brook for so long, and even though we've seen flashes of coolness here and there up until now, I think he's due for something REALLY big. He is still the newest person to the crew at that.

I see the fight between him and Smoothie being more comedic though. Him asking to see her panties, the jokes he's probably going to make about having no juice because he's all bones, etc. lol. We haven't seen Brook take on a bonified swordsman (no pun intended) since Ryuuma, so I'm still excited to see how far he's come nonetheless.
