A/N: Okay, so although it's in poetry format, it's not really a poem... Well, maybe... I just didn't know how to write out my feelings about that one word... But I wanted to write about it since I did the same thing today when I saw my big brother off at the airport.

Warning: A bit dark and OOC though I never know what Luffy is thinking; he's a genius yet an idiot yet can be both at the same time... Just way too unique for me to understand though some people argue that he's simple. Anyways:


'Good-bye'…

A word that you say when you never want to see anyone ever again.

Or at least that's how I thought of it.

So when Hancock said,

"I only desire that you leave… Without saying 'good-bye'…"

I thought, of course,

I wanted to see her again—

She helped me so many times

And is always fun to be around.

So, of course, I said

With a wide grin,

"Well, I've never said that to anyone anyway! I want to see you again, after all!

Well, then… I'll be off now! See you!"

As I said the things I normally say when I leave

And sat in the front of the little boat,

I remember…

I remember that one time

That I really did say good-bye…

That one time where I felt frustrated,

Fought messily

Yet of course won…

But that one time where I remember…

He helped me so many times

And is always fun to be around too…

But still…

I said it…

That one word…

I turned my back against him

And said that one word

Which meant that I never want to see him ever again…

"Good-bye… Usopp. It's been… fun."


A/N: Okay, so... Obviously, Luffy met him again after that and they became friends once more (it's just that I didn't know where to end the thought).

Anyways, I feel slow for just noticing it just now, but Luffy said to Hancock that he never said good-bye to anyone because he wanted to see them again.

But that one time at Water Seven, he did say good-bye to Usopp after the fight for Merry...

And if you were thinking about this deeply like me, then sorry but... Is 'good-bye' one word or two? It confused me.
