User blog comment:Monkey.D.Me/SOUL FAQ (*^*)/@comment-4754162-20120227023125

Yay, MDM with another blog! (not sure why and no special purpose but just feel like saying that...) My responses are purely based on my own opinion. Assume I agree on the Q that I did not respond. Now lets see: 4) No limit on distance from body, this happened immediately when he actually died, his soul search for the body for so long until it has decay and leaving just bones. Agree that finding body will be difficult if during soul mode, his body was transfered someplace else without his knowledge 5) This is a difficult one. Someone once said (in a blog somewhere) that the DF ability (after a lot of thinking) is attached to the bones, which in a way I agree. So when Brook enters soul mode and kairoseki cuffs was placed on the body (or contact with sea water), he will temporarily be disabled (soul mode off), just the bones lie there lifeless and no soul found. 6) Speaking of dead body, yes totally 100% control but strength and endurance are pretty much the same as his own. E.g. Burgess is dead and Brook enters the body, he will not gain any special strength or endurance which belongs to Burgess. However, I am thinking of the possibility of him taking over a live person's body, of course with a limitation on time and entry permission. Kinda like Haoshoku Haki, if the person is of lower will, then the soul could take over the body for "x" minute, gaining "y" % control of it (but still does not gain any special ability belonging to the real person). If the person has stronger will, Brook may only take over for shorter time and/or control lower % or could not enter at all. Brook's soul may need to fight with the actual person's soul in order to take over the body, thus its a matter of who's stronger in the fight. And definitely has to be a limit in time and after exit could not re-enter until "z" hours/days later, otherwise is too overpowered (sorry for the lengthy response here) 7) Yes, he can die when the real body (where the Yomi Yomi no Mi ability is stored) gets destroyed completely. Remember his head was torned off and he magically re-attached itself again. I am suspecting the DF ability was stored on the backbone (for him and perhaps all DF characters), hence as long as the backbone is intact and no serious damage to the broken body parts, he can reattach himself up again. 8) I do not think souls exists in OP world as a general. Brook being exception due to the Yomi Yomi no Mi and maybe some new DFs in future which may cause soul to exist but generally, nope.
