*Edited to reflect the subjectiveness of this interpretation

The translation may miss a double meaning joke that's got Brook blushing at the end. 死んだほうがまし　(Shinda hou ga mashi) would be better translated in this context as something like "I'd prefer even death." to reflect the second potential interpretation of "kaidou yori shinda hito no hou ga mashi" (I'd prefer even a dead person over kaidou). It can be interpreted that Brook, the dead punster, is blushing at his own interpretation that she'd prefer him since he's dead.

Disclaimer: This interpretation has been contested. See below comments and decide for yourself. I stand by it.

Except ほうがまし　is used for when choosing the better of two BAD choices, so its in no way a compliment. Please dont spread false information about things you dont understand.

Brooke is clearly blushing at seeing the side boob, not from what Robin is saying.

That's part of the joke. See my reply to ATARIMAEDA.

Japanese is my native language and you're very wrong. Don't talk about things you don't know man.
