Broken Promises
Luffy stared in disbelief at the bodies around him and the objects in his hand. He held them tight like a toddler would do to a toy. To anyone else they meant nothing just miscellaneous objects. A black and white cane stained red, scrap metal and broken sunglasses, burned and shred books, a blood stained blue hat, a pack of mostly used cigarettes, broken goggles beyond reaper and a tattered bandana, a beaten up staff with three balls in the ends and middle, and three swords and a dark green blood stained bandana. However, to the rubber captain they meant the world.
Luffy couldn't believe it, his crew, his family, his nakama, were killed right in front of his eyes. It's been two years since they've seen each other. They were all supposed to be safe on Sunny, laughing, celebrating, and sharing their adventures. But what does he see when he returns to Sunny, his nakama either dead or being killed. What's worse is that those bastard marines were smiling, some were even laughing. All Luffy saw was red and then blood flew.
When Luffy calmed down there were marine corpses everywhere. The sidewalks and towns were dyed with blood. A combination of blood and tears slid down his face. Then Luffy's eyes widened in relation, he was alone, he lost his brother and his nakama and what's worse is he killed hundreds of marines, hell he even killed innocent citizens!
Luffy couldn't take it anymore, not after all the deaths he'd seen and all the blood that has been shed. He laid the items in a pile, including his treasured straw-hat, and slowly un sheathed Wado. He placed the sword close to his heart as memories and thoughts filled his head.
"Promise that you'll give it back to me some day… when you've become a great pirate"
Sorry Shanks, I'm going to have to break our promise
"You idiot, why would I die and leave a weak little brother like you behind".
"I'm sorry I couldn't let you save me properly."
No Ace, I'm sorry that when I tried to save you, you ended up saving me.
"It's more like a temporary partnership"
"I'm the great Captain Ussop, leave now pirates or face my 8,000 fowlers."
"The first and only rule of the Baratie, Don't. Waste. Food."
"Shut up I don't want any gratitude from humans."
"You saved me when I wanted to die, for that you have to take responsibility."
"This beautiful ship will suffer without a proper shipwright, that won't do. I Franky accept your invention to be your shipwright."
"Really I'm so glad to be alive. Um… can I join your crew?"
"I'm going to be the world greatest swordsman, so if I have to abandon my dream for any reason… then I'm going to make you commit Hara Kiri."
Sorry I made all of you lose your dreams
As Luffy plunged Wado in his heart, one last thought went in his head.
Well at least I'll keep one promise to my first mate.
Then the world went black.
I'm a bad, bad person. Well that's what happens when you read One Piece angst stories then listen to Pain by Three Days Grace.
