To: Luffy.

I'm sorry you had to put up with a monster like me all these years.

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you set sail.

I wish I could make it up to you

But at least some good came of existence.

I was your true brother in the end, right?

But I still managed to make you cry, I'm sorry.

I just can't do anything but hurt the only parson I've ever loved

For that I wish I could make it up to you.

All these years wishing I could see your face again, to tell you how I feel.

God, I'm so spineless.

All the times I wanted to tell you but couldn't

I kept asking myself, wondering what you would say if I told you

My love for you was more than the brotherly kind, it was so much more.

If I told you, you would probably hate me

I love you and always will yours forever, Ace.
