Chapter 455

Quick Summary
Brook defeats Talleran the Spider Monkey. Brook explains to Franky and Robin how the shadow is separated from the body and implanted in a corpse. Brook reveals that Shichibukai Gekko Moriah has the power of the Kage-Kage No Mi, the Shadow-Shadow fruit. Moriah just needs a shadow and a corpse to create a zombie.
