How could I forget,
Those smiles of theirs,
As we lifted the cups,
Of the sake we shared?

The bond of brotherhood,
The adventures we had,
All we had to do was smile,
To make the other glad.

The promises we made,
Those daydreams we shared,
To be wild and free,
For that day we prepared.

To have that ripped from me,
To forget all I had,
To have not been there with them,
When either one was sad.

To be dead in their minds,
But still live without a clue,
Without a care in my mind,
Was the worst I could do.

And to finally realise,
What had been so blind to me,
I lived without my past.
But finally I see.

With shock and despair,
Over all that's gone wrong,
To meet a person after their death,
And realise where I belong.

He was a nameless pirate,
Whom I couldn't care less,
Until finally his death,
Lead a string of regrets.

Screams ring through my throat,
Mind frozen and numb,
Curled up in a ball,
As the truth had come.

Pulling my hair out with talons,
As if it might stop the pain,
Drawing blood from my scalp,
I may have gone insane.

That past I had forgotten,
For so long I did not know,
What had made me who I am,
Before the seas pushed me below.

The tufts of black hair,
Over rubbery cheeks,
Shadowed by the straw hat,
That the One Piece seeks.

Sat alone in the battlefield,
Both his brothers dead,
Blood covering his hands,
And thousands after his head.

And I wasn't there,
I wasn't thinking of him.
Not even knowing he existed,
Was the worst possible sin.

I even contributed,
To the others belief,
That he wasn't loved,
As I offered no relief.

I'd forgotten all about him,
I didn't even see,
That lonely hand,
That I might have set free.

Instead I ignored,
I left it frozen cold,
Not realising the damage,
I so easily unfold.

But now I remember,
And it's tearing me apart,
Those kind special people,
Where my adventure did start.

Those tearful shining faces,
How could I forget?
To have left them alone,
I shall always regret.
