A/N: My theory turned out to be correct ;-; Poor Shirahoshi.
She just wouldn't shut up. Couldn't shut her fuckin' mouth.
"Disgusting," I murmured, clutching the gun.
As if the Diet would seriously consider us. This time or the next. Useless. All of it. Whether it was four years, six years, ten years…why the hell do we need to associate ourselves with them anyway. I hadn't been that close to her yet. I bet she still smelled like them. Foul.
As far as I'm concerned, you're a disgrace to us.
Tiger-san, Arlong-san…real advocates for our future being kicked around on the surface as if they were trash. And here she goes, spoutin' shit about the sun and children and how things can change. And they never do.
Everyone's freakin' out over the box. It probably surprised a lot of them that someone might not like the idea of cow towing to the Tenryuubitou's way of doing things. Even the signatures smell like shit as the smoke rises up. Paper apparently conforms to whatever touches it. Fuck all of them. Traitors. And what a stupid woman. Can't you see you're about to die? Stop fluttering around bitching about your signatures.
Bang.
Well, now that that's done, we can all move on with our lives.
Their screams are temporary. It's the screaming of cowards that don't understand right now, but in time…
I can fix this country. My way. None a' this shit with the guys on the top floor.
We are superior and we deserve to be treated as such. This is the least I can do for Fishman Island. One woman's life, ten lives, one hundred…doesn't make a difference. I'll do what it takes.
I hear that gasp. That sickening gasp of a man scared shitless. And sure enough, some ugly fucker's gone and decided it might be smart to stick around after seeing me carry out the deed. Is he pissing his pants? Heh.
Bang.
"Jimbei-san! I've found the culprit! It's definitely him!"
The look on his face…oh, if he could have seen it. Pure anger. And then, when I hold the fucker up by his neck…
"Hide him."
Heh. You wish, asshole.
"But…this is reality."
"NO! He's just a pirate!"
"THIS IS THE TRUTH!"
Truth comes to those who take it for themselves, Boss. Nothing personal.
They wanted the truth. So I gave them the truth.
Wonder if I shoulda squeezed out a few tears for the crowd, though.
