Working aboard a ship since young age, Brook learned the importance of flowing with the chaos and unpredictability. For a sailor can never beat the sea, only negotiate to get where he wants to be. That is the wisdom of Sortisa.

Making first rounds in Gildas, Brook and his crew made a pitance due to their unwilligness to supply weapons amongst the conflict, unlike the other ships. Mostly supplying exotic food to Cair Thirion, due to the size of the crew and the vessel, the venture soon became unsustainable.

After cutting losses, the captain headed to Hanura in order to reclaim a proper income. And in the Waters of Good fortune of Konumizu, they had found it. By delivering rounds of recreational drugs, paint and jewelry along the islands. It was a good life, and Brook even found a woman to marry.

But all crashed and burned as the ship was overtaken and village Brook hoped to retire razed to the ground.
