Haiku for Straw Hats

Luffy, the captain

A man with a dream to bask

in endless freedom


Zoro, the swordsman

To overcome the greatest

is his only wish


Nami, course setter

All the world she desires

on her vast canvas


Usopp, the Sogeking

Liar and lover of all

that is brave and strong


Sanji, the ship cook

Also a lover, and a

seeker of passion


Chopper, the doctor

To heal and cure all, and to

blossom with knowledge


Robin, the reader

Of ancient pasts, dark futures,

and the cold void of


Franky, shipbuilder

To weather the storm, and to

bring dreams to dreamers


Brook, the musician

To return to an old friend

and play the old song


Jinbe, the helmsman

To bring those together, that

bleed the same color


Vivi, lost to sands

But never forgotten, to

always be cherished


Eleven they are

Perhaps more to come, and more

to love, forever


For within their hearts lies the dreams and the bonds of a family, a crew, a name, a code.
