The ring of Steel is Zoro his blades are spinning in deadly arcs towards another swordsman who wields a scimitar. I hear the clash of blades and I see a sword gliding neatly through zoro's ribs and rippling upwards to make it's exit through his head. Zoro's dead
The sound of Thunder is Nami her clima tact lies on the floor in too many pieces. A trident has her impaled high above my head with her heat sticking firmly on the end of the middle point protruding from her body. Nami is dead
The smell of fire is Sanji his feet are a blur as they proceed to swing around searching for his foe. His face is being held underwater and his bodies in spasms in a vain struggle to get free. Soon he goes still and the fire dies out. Sanji's dead
The taste of gunpowder is Usopp the bullet went straight through his head and out the other side. He didn't even have a chance to taunt his foe. Usopp's dead
The smell of meat is Chopper from where I stand I can see the cannibal eating his dead body. The cannibal is sad choppers last spasm turned him back into a half deer so there's barely any meat on him. Chopper is dead.
The scent of flowers is Robin she never even got up for the fight she was poisoned before hand. Robin is dead
Then there's me. The feel of Rubber is Luffy, Shanks was right about the cursed fruit I can't even move because of a necklace made of seastone.
The enemy crew leaves the captain says that I was a fool to eat the fruit so I'll die a fool's death. He leaves me there alone unable to protect my Nakama and unable to even turn away from their corpses just waiting for my own death.
I wake up with a gasp it was just a dream again that's all just a dream but one day it might be reality. I quietly walk into my thongs and slip out of the cabin and onto the deck. I start retching and eventually I'm vomiting over the side of the boat. I keep vomiting until blood starts coming out instead of food and liquid. Then I pull at my fingers.
They stretch
But one day I won't, one day I'll get rid of the fruit and I'll no longer have to fear losing my nakama.
I'm hungry again but that's always a side effect my nakama think I eat too much but truthfully I reject most of it anyway. Because one day the fruit will come up too and then I will never be afraid again.
