SPOILERS!
Disclaimer: I don´t own One Piece, Oda-sensei does!
I just wanted to be...
A little boy, all alone on a boat, tried desperately to take out the rising flames around him. He stopped for a second, looking to his left side to another ship. His eyes widened.
´NO..! It shouldn´t end like this..! I.. just want to be...!´
BANG! Another cannon was fired. It missed the small boat, but the waves the shot caused made it difficult for the ten-year-old not to fall overboard.
Luckily, he managed to hold himself onto the half broken mast. A few minutes of silence passed and the sea calmed down a little, allowing Sabo to stand up again. He coughed as he inhaled the burning smoke of the fire on his boat.
He looked up to his flag. Minutes before, before that huge ship was there, the flag with the big ´S´ on it was waving in the wind. The weather had been warm and sunny, everything was perfect. The perfect day, so it seemed.
This peaceful atmosphere suddenly changed when the ship of the Tenryuubito showed up, starting to shoot without warning at the shocked boy´s fisher boat.
Sabo didn´t understand why they fired cannons at him. He didn´t know them at all! But then he recognized the people on the ship: the Tenryuubito. No one was ever allowed to touch them, to speak with them, to look them into the eyes. Every normal human was just scum in their eyes. Scum, who didn´t deserve to live in that oh so great world their ancestors had built.
Sabo clenched his fists. They were so wrong! So damn wrong! Just like his parents...they never knew what was the main thing Sabo wished. He had a big dream which should never come true, he slowly began to realize now... he shaked his head roughly, coming back to realitiy.
´I have to stop those flames immediately!´ the thought stroke him. Then another cannon was fired.
The world all of sudden slowed down. Sabo turned around, watching a huge cannon flying into his direction.
´Does it have to end like this..?´ shot through his head. ´What did I do to deserve this...? Don´t I have the right to live like everyone else? Why?
Just because the one above us don´t want us to live..? ...to be free...?´
Tears streamed down his small cheeks and his lips trembled. Now it was all too late. He couldn´t make his dream come true now.
His dream of being...free
which he never was allowed to be...
"I just wanted to be free! Is that too much I´m asking for?" he shouted at the Tenryuubito.
Mentioned persons just grinned at the now exploding boat in front of them.
"What did that piece of dirt dared to shout at us?" one of them asked.
"Don´t think about that. That was just a stupid little dreamer." another answered, looking in disgust at the rest of the burning wood which, minutes before,
was a real chance of finally being free.
For someone, who did dare to ask for that what just ´better´ people are allowed to get.
