Memories On a Rainy Day


It was a cold, rainy day with almost no sun. The sort of day that casts a gloom over everyone and makes the world see like a hopeless place. In Partys Bar, Makino the bars owner, sat behind the empty counter and quietly mourned the black-haired brothers that had brightened even the dreariest days.

They weren't dead, far from it, both were making names for themselves as powerful pirates, but the woman couldn't help but wish little Luffy would burst through the doors his still sleepy older brother dragged along by their intertwined hands. She wished Ace would stare into the flame of a candle like it held the secrets of the universe, only looking up to assure that his silly sibling was alright and to occasionally reprimand him. Makino even wished that she would see the flag of the Red-haired Pirates flying of a ship docked in the harbor, with Shanks and his lively crew parading towards her yelling out what drinks they wanted and guffawing loudly.

Sadly that wouldn't happen. Luffy was out leading the Straw Hat Crew, Ace was the 2nd division commander under Whitebeard, and God only knew where Shanks had disappeared to. With a sigh Makino glanced one last time at the pounding rain before closing the bar and heading home.
