Love is Power
Nakama-fic: mostly based on the crew, but there's touches of Vivi, Ace and Boa Hancock
Warnings: none
A/N: This is my first time writing for One Piece, so please be gentle. This short, little drabble was a spur of the moment thing. Each sentence was inspired by a character, but you can interpret it however you like. Also huge thanks to my friend Benchwarmer who looked over it. If anyone likes Naruto I recommend his stuff.
Enjoy and review!

Love is saying yes after always saying no. Love is saying it's alright when it's not. Love is putting on a brave face when fear grips your heart. Love is calling someone you once fought against a sister. Love is taking the step to become stronger than yesterday. Love is following a man to whatever fate he may lead you to.
Love is in the bandages that are wrapped around an injured arm. Love is in the disguise we wear to carry out our heart's desire. Love is in the tears we shed for a fallen comrade. Love is in the desperate attempts one makes for peace. Love is in the innocent promise we had once made. Love is in the carless laughter that floats all around, brightening other's spirits. Love is in the simple acceptance of oneself.
Love is the cry a brother makes on death's doorstep for the other to live. Love is the sound of a hammer on wood. Love is the only thing we call greater than gold. Love is pain, soul-tearing, bone-crushing torturous pain that makes you want to beg for death, yet you refrain. Love is a hug, a Sakura petal, a song, a dish, a straw hat.
Love is when we press our forehead to the ground and cry words of gratitude to that person who sacrificed so much. Love is when we take the cuffs of exile to save our family. Loves is when after failure, you collapse, and beg a stranger to save what is cherished.
Love is what we surrender to after years of darkness. Love is what drives the separated back together again. Love is what we refuse for whatever reason we tell ourselves. Love is what we refuse to give up once we've had it. Love is what makes our feet fly; our hearts beat faster and our punches stronger. Love is what makes someone jump into battle with no forethought. Love is what makes you stand when one and all believes you're dead.
Love is power.
