Yes after 2 Years of training.
No, there is no Challenger Crew in One Piece.
The skeleton is called Brook. He was a musician on a pirate ship, however the crew all died from disease. Brook's body ended up at the bottom of the sea, where all his flesh and soft tissues were eaten, leaving only his bones (and his afro). In life, Brook had eaten a 'devil fruit' that allowed the user to come back to life once. However as his body was at the bottom of the sea, his soul was unable to find it before it had become a skeleton. So now he's a 'living' skeleton, and is now the musician for the Strawhat Pirates.
