Prologue
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece. I do own Mizu Kaikomou, Reiki, and anything related to Gitai. And Arpahgos.
They say mimicry and camouflaging yourself is a fool's trade, that only simple minded fools should ever do it.
They were wrong.
Gitai.
A beautiful word for me.
With this, I could almost transform into another being, escape me for a while.
Until the village found out what I was doing.
They wanted me to revert back to the life I had before, the boring, simple life I was once accustomed to.
They couldn't.
I was only fifteen.
"Mizu, we are your parents! We love you, but you must obey the law. No Gitai. It's just too dangerous."
"You can do it too! Everybody on this stinking island can do it! Why can't we do it?"
"Times have changed, Mizu. We can't afford another loss."
"Reiki did it to save our island from war!"
"He wasn't supposed to attack!"
"He did the right thing, Mother! So what if he died, he died to save Arpahgos!"
"Mizu…you're only fifteen. You wouldn't understand the dangers-,"
"I hate you. I hate this place!"
I ran out of my house, into a boat docked at the pier, set sail and never looked back.
I never looked back.
Never did. Never will.
Of course. That was four years ago.
My name is Mizu Kaikomou.
I know short. But it's a prologue.
