@Rici Brook isnt dead though, he's just on his 2nd life. the reason his DF power didnt leave him when he died the 1st time is because thats when it actually activated & Brook said that with his fruit his soul was able to come back to find his body agian. So Brook's fruit will leave him whenever he is killed after this life which i would assume the only/best way to do that would be to smash his skull or entire skeleton so then @ that point his DF power would go back to it's fruit.
