### Summary
The heartbreaking history behind Brook's signature song, "Binks's Sake," reveals why the cheerful tune carries such profound tragedy. The song was a symbol of the Rumbar Pirates' solemn promise to the whale Laboon, a vow to return after conquering the Grand Line. This dream was shattered when their captain, Yorki, and half the crew contracted an incurable disease. In a noble sacrifice, Yorki led the infected away to die, his final request being for Brook to play their favorite song as a farewell. The remaining crew was later wiped out in battle, leaving Brook, resurrected by his Devil Fruit, to drift alone for fifty years with only the song as a haunting memory of his lost comrades.
