Rating: T
Fandom: One Piece
Summary: Doflamingo had abandoned Rocinante.


Brother, Mother is gone now. She died overnight. I tried to wake her up by calling her name and shaking her shoulder. She wouldn't respond. I started to cry but she wasn't there to comfort me. You and Father stood there in shock. Father didn't try to comfort either of us. He didn't tell us that it was going to be alright.

Brother, Father is gone now. He was hugging me from behind and apologized for being a bad father. But he wasn't a bad father. He loved us and did his best to care for us. You shot him in the head and his blood splattered onto me. You made us orphans.

Brother, you are gone now, only this time you're actually still alive. You had cut off Father's head and had left to return to the Holy Land. You didn't listen to my cries and my pleas as I begged you to not leave me alone. You didn't care and abandoned me for Mariejois.

Brother, I am gone now. Like Father, I left the world by your hands. I died protecting Law, ensuring his escape. Although I pointed my gun at you, we both knew that I wouldn't be able to pull the trigger. My heart shattered even before the first bullet hit. I knew that you had disowned me as your brother, declaring your crew as your real family.

Brother, if you hadn't abandoned me that day, would things have turned out differently?
