It's hard because the Yami Yami no Mi doesn't seem to affect the body of the user, but rather his "soul". DP was saying that the DF needs a living host, but with the Yami Yami no Mi, we've got no freaking idea what a living host is to the fruit since Brook IS DEAD.

If Brook is dead and we're talking about how the fruits of deceased DF users spawn at the nearest fruit of their kind, then why the hell didn't it work?

Oda really needs to explain to us with every detail possible how Brook's fruit works.
