#although there is that one island that had some famous muscians apparently so i guess he could be from there

Ok I made this theory before (link). But that flashback has been over for a while (and I was too busy sobbing my heart out over Kuma, Ginny, and Bonney) and who knows when we'll get a follow up, so I'm just going to revisit my theory in the meantime.

Brook is originally from God Valley

God Valley is an island in the West Blue that was known for its abundant resources. We don't know much beyond that, but if they have abundant natural resources, I think it's safe to say they also were a part of a trade system.

And what do you need if you have merchant ships sailing around with expensive goods? A convoy to protect them from pirates.

Convoy: The act of accompanying or escorting, especially for protective purposes. An accompanying and protecting force, as of ships or troops. A group, as of ships or motor vehicles, traveling together with a protective escort or for safety or convenience.

Which, Brook was the leader of a battle convoy for a "certain kingdom".

Furthermore, Brook not only has a devil fruit, but it appears in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, which he read. Where better to get a devil fruit that defies death itself than a place named God Valley? How did information about this fruit get recorded? Someone had to have had it before, which means the revived human can still die a second death.

I'm just very curious about what all he did while leading that convoy. Did he encounter the Germa? Did they deliver goods to O'Hara?

According to the Wiki, the West Blue had five prominent mafia families, could that tie into his backstory as well?

Also, what is going on in the West anyways? I know I'm getting off topic here, but we have five mafia families, and two incidents in which a country was wiped off the map. No wonder those merchant ships needed a convoy escort lmao. Maybe its supposed to be this universe version of the Wild West?
