Luffy's POV
"Well, it seems that I will die soon." I said to them.
"Stop joking around Luffy!" Nami said.
"...you are joking right?" Nami asked in a hopeful manner.
" Sadly, I'm not joking. It seems that if I used Gear second once more, then I would die.I had no choice but to use it because it is my duty as captain to fight along with you guys." I said with some coughs interrupting throughout the sentence.
By now, the whole ship was silent, until Zorro started to speak.
"Then what about your pirate king dream. What about the dreams that you promised us to help us fulfil?!" Zorro said sadly.
"I'm sorry, but it seems that I won't be able to fulfil my dream or help you fulfil yours. However, that is where you guys come in. Zorro, you will become the new captain and I am hoping that you will become the pirate king in place of me. Also, your nakama will help you guys fulfil each others' dreams." I said wearily.
End of Luffy's Pov
"Luffy , no I can't possibly be captain." Zorro said.
"No, I believe in you and also your nakama will help you along the way." Luffy said.
Zorro did not reply back and just looked down with a shadow on his eyes. Luffy took that as a yes to becoming captain.
"With that, I am not worried to leave you guys." Luffy said weakly.
"Being the captain of this crew will always be the best thing that happened to me. Zorro would eat and drink with me; Nami would teach me about map making, even though I had no clue what she was talking about; Franky would show me a bunch of his robot making; Ussop would tell me all about these fascinating stories; Chopper would be a part of all the crazy things I do; Robin would tell me to read books, but I barely know how to and Sanji would cook me all these wonderful food. I couldn't ask for more" Luffy said with tears in his eyes.
The whole crew was silently crying, hoping that this was only a nightmare.
Luffy's body started to ache really badly and he knew he had to go soon.
"Bye minna,I will always remember you." Luffy smiled, and then closed his eyes.
Everyone just stood there with their eyes wide open.
"Luffy?" Chopper shook him.
"LUFFFFFY" Chopper screamed as he knew Luffy really left them.
The whole crew all cried continuously as though they were little children woken up from a nightmare.
