Sad? That scene was disturbing!

I think the main reason why people feel more sorry for Robin or Chopper or Nami is because Brook (apparently) takes it more lightly than them. He lost a good portion of his mind in those 50 years, plus he's an optimist to begin with, and you can't take him quite as serious as the others. Especially Miss Un-Funny, Robin.
