Classification: Living Skeleton (previously a Human), Musician of the Straw Hat Pirates, Former Captain of the Rumbar Pirates, Former Battle Convoy Leader, Paramecia Devil Fruit user
Age: 88 pre timeskip, 90 after the timeskip
Powers and Abilities: Super strength, speed, durability, endurance, agility, dexterity, immune to electricity/lightning to a degree (by virtue of being a skeleton animated by his fruit's powers), ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi, a Paramecia type Devil Fruit which allows the user to come back to life and allows the user to access other soul-based abilities, can separate his soul to move individually of his body, can survive with his head cut off and reattach it and other body parts, able to freeze objects and people by channeling the power of his soul through his sword (Soul Solid, the "Freezing Sword"), extremely lightweight (can run on water), can leap great distances, adept swordsman (specializes in fencing), can generate wind blades with sword slashes and thrusts (can also use this in conjunction with his freezing ability), highly accomplished musician, able to hypnotize people with music (forcing them to sleep, create illusions in their minds etc.)
Weaknesses: Cannot swim and becomes immobilized if more than half of his body is covered in water
Destructive Capacity: Small town level (one-shotted the spider monkey, which could take several hits from Franky and restrain him and Robin with it's webs) | Town level (comparable to Kin'emon, can also bypass conventional durability to a limited extent with his freezing capacity) likely far higher (could slash Prometheus and cut a weakened Zeus in half, though that may have something to do with his Devil Fruit ability)
Range: Extended human melee range with sword and by virtue of size (is 9 feet tall)
Speed: Hypersonic+ with massively hypersonic attack speed/reactions (undoubtedly faster than Franky, given speed is Brook's forte and that he was able to perceive Zoro's and Ryuma's movements when they fought whereas Franky could not) | Massively hypersonic+ (was stated twice by WoG to be the fastest Strawhat bar G2 Luffy and pressumably G4)

Standard Equipment: Soul Solid, a shikomizue (a sword hidden in a cane)
Intelligence: Skilled combatant with decades of battle experience
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit or Underworld-Underworld Fruit): A Paramecia type Devil Fruit which enhances the user's soul to the point where they can come back to life after dying once, remain alive until their body is sufficiently damaged, and to use several other soul-based abilities. The power that allows him to live in the human world is not organs nor muscles: it is his soul.
- Astral Projection: A new ability Brook demonstrated after the timeskip. Brook is able to separate his body and soul, and move his soul everwyhere he wants to, even through walls. When Brook is in spectral form he both visible and audible to people. It is currently unknown as to how far the extent can Brook maintain this separation of his soul from his body.
- Soul Energy: After two years of training, Brook has mastered the use of this Devil Fruit to the extent of knowing its true nature. He reveals that in order for his soul to remain here in this world, it produces a unique and powerful energy that is almost physical in form. He has also mastered the energy his soul emits to the extent that he can reattach his bones by using this energy such as when he is beheaded he then attaches his head back with the help of it.
- Chills of the Underworld: Through his soul, Brook is able to summon the very cold of the underworld, which he utilizes in conjuction with his sword, Soul Solid, to generate freezing attacks.
- Music: Brook's devotion to music not only helped him to pass the lonely days during his long isolation, but also serves as a combat tool.
- Nemuriuta Flanc (Lullaby Parry): Brook swipes his weapon over his violin like a fiddle and plays a soothing melody which makes his opponents fall asleep.
- Party Music: Brook uses his music to hypnotize his opponents into believing they are at a night festival. This way, his opponents not only drop their guards, but they are also made vulnerable to suggestions.
- Fencing Style: Brook uses an unnamed form of swordsmanship that resembles classical fencing. It specializes in speed and thrusting techniques.
- Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri (Three-Verse Humming: Arrow-Notch Slash): A high-speed technique where Brook swiftly cuts his opponent(s) as he approaches them and then re-sheats his blade.
- Requiem la Banderole: Performed much the same as Yahazu Giri, except Brook executes a lateral slash against the opponent's chest.
- Aubade Coup Droit (Dawn Serenade: Right-Handed Strike): A ranged thrusting technique that creates a highly compressed blast of air.
- Prelude: Au Fer (Prelude: After): A technique intended to disarm the opponent by destroying whatever weapon they might be wielding at close range.
- Gavotte Bond en Avant (Gavotte: Leap Forward): A thrusting technique in which the user propels himself forward in order to strike an opponent.
- Swallow Bond en Avant (Swallow Leap Forward): An aerial version of Gavotte Bond en Avant.
- Polka Remise (Polka Continuation): A combination technique in which the user delivers several consecutive thrusts against the opponent.
- Solid Soul: Brook does a right handed thrust attack infused with his freezing ability.
- Quinte Tierce Fantasia (Fifth Parry and Third Parry Fantasy): Typically used in conjunction with Party Music, Brook uses a swift draw-and-sheathing technique while his opponents are still under the influence of the hypnotic nature of the musical technique.
- Kasuriuta: Fubuki Giri (Pastoral Song: Blizzard Slash): Combining Hanauta Sancho: Yahazu Giri and his Devil Fruit ability, Brook does the same thing Yahazu Giri doesbut he sheaths his sword fromtop to bottom and the streak mark he creates with his "chilled" sword freezes the opponent's blood.
- Winds of Hades: Brook uses his Soul Solid in conjunction with his Devil Fruit ability to fire freezing winds at his opponent.
- Soul Parado: A parry that freezes on contact.
