In Case You Missed It: What Happened in Chapter 1184?
Chapter 1184 was all about pulling on our heartstrings, plunging us straight back into Brook’s fascinating past.
A Royal Rejection The chapter kicks off with a fiery 14-year-old Princess Shuri, who is busy intimidating suitors asking for her hand in marriage. She sets the bar high, declaring she has zero interest in weak men or anyone who can't play a musical instrument. Later, Shuri tries to flex her newfound maturity to a 27-year-old Brook, leading to a hilariously awkward exchange between the two. Eventually, things settle down as they sing by a fountain, prompting Brook to reminisce about how he first met her father, King Reuven.
The Boy With the Trash Violin The narrative shifts gears into a deeper flashback. We meet an 11-year-old, impoverished Brook living in a garbage dump. Staring longingly at a local music school, he gets chased away by the locals and retreats to his makeshift home, playing a violin cobbled together from pure trash.
A Fateful Meeting Drawn by the music, a young Prince Reuven wanders into the dump. Unaware of the boy's royal blood, Brook generously shares his meager dinner a highly unappealing dish made with curry powder he swiped from a Navy ship. Reuven eats it without complaint, and when Brook refuses any money for the meal, the two boys bond over drinks and shared time.
Defying the World Government Things take a dark turn on a later day when Marine soldiers abduct Brook, brutally interrogating him over the stolen Navy curry powder. Just in time, Prince Reuven bursts onto the scene alongside Candelle, the commander of the royal guard.
The Marines try to pull rank, threatening Reuven by revealing they have the backing of the World Government. Reuven, however, couldn't care less. He forcefully rescues Brook and brings him back to the Esperia Palace to heal. While Candelle vents his frustration about the Prince's habit of sneaking out of the castle, he admits he's glad Reuven found a friend in Brook. The chapter beautifully wraps up with Reuven officially ordering his men to enroll Brook in the music school of his dreams.
