OFFICER'S ACCOUNT
AN: Ah yes, another chapter. I've been gone for awhile, so I'm back. Anyway, Last time, Enrique meets the straw hat crew and then they spend a few minutes together for lunch. Now this is where things could get interesting. Just for the record, I don't own One Piece, but I do own Sean, Enrique and Mariko. LET'S GO!
Chapter Two: Resurrected or Just Plain Lucky?
As soon as morning hit, Enrique started to walk along the beach, and his mind was still pretty heavy. Ever since he executed his best friend, Sean, years ago, the memories of that execution, haunted him from the time he was executed, to the time he was dishonourably discharged from the navy. He had tried to appeal on his behalf, but all his appeals were met with blind ears. He then sat near the waves, and then let his mind wander.
(FLASHBACK – ENRIQUE'S POV)
Sean was tied on the post, and then had the charges read: aiding and abetting pirates, and killing navy officers. The commanding officer said, "Let this be a lesson to every citizen in town, that if you associate with pirates, or kill navy officers, this is the price you must pay!"
As I raised my gun, I mouthed out the word, "Sorry."
He saw the commanding officer put his thumb down, and then felt the bullets pierce his body, including mine. As he closed his eyes in death, I thought to myself, 'What have I done?' I felt tears come down my eyes, and I dropped my gun and ran.
(END FLASHBACK – NARRATOR'S POV)
Enrique then got up, and began to walk away from the beach. He then saw a fleeting glimpse of someone with Brown hair. No. It couldn't have been. Could it?
Meanwhile, back at the SS Merry Go, Luffy stretched out his arms, and said, "Ah! What A beautiful morning!"
Nami just replied, "Yeah. To you it is." As the captain and navigator argued, they both heard a call from the galley from Sanji. "Breakfast is ready!"
"Time for some meat!" Luffy said, and ran down to the galley to get his food. Of course, Nami got the best and tastiest helping from Sanji.
"Thank you!" Nami said. As for Zolo and Usopp, Zolo was training while Usopp said to no one in particular, "Who dares mess with the captain of the SS Merry Go?" Of course, Luffy would always let that one slide. However, Luffy saw someone and said, "Who are you?"
The mysterious man said, "If you see Enrique again, tell him I sent this." He put a piece of paper into his hands and said, "Good day."
Nami and Zolo saw this, and thought, 'Who was that?'
Elsewhere in town, Enrique just had his breakfast and said, "Thanks, Mariko." Then he went down to the docks, where Luffy was going to be based. He said, "Enrique!"
"Hey!" Enrique said. "Where's the rest of your crew?"
Luffy answered, "They went into town." It was then that Luffy's happy go lucky expression disappeared. He then turned serious and said, "Someone wanted me to give this to you." He then gave Enrique a rolled up sheet of paper.
Enrique then unrolled it, and saw very familiar writing. It was that of his believed-to-be-dead best friend, Sean Martin. The letter said:
Ricky…
You thought you had your navy buddies execute me and betray me like that? I thought you were my best
friend! Well, guess what, I found someone else who would never betray me! It's your own ex-commanding
officer! I'll make sure you pay for abetting those pirates!
Your ex-best friend,
Sean
Enrique just angrily crumpled up the letter, and threw it away. If there was one thing other than having his honour taken away that he didn't like, it was being lied to, especially by the navy! He knew that the navy would be corrupt, but he never knew they would go this far. He said to Luffy, "They're going to pay for this."
"What about your best friend?" Luffy asked.
"He just turned into my worst enemy." Enrique answered, as the two went into town.
END CHAPTER
Well, another chapter over. R&R, but anyone who attempts to flame me for use of dub names, will be barbecued along with the sirloin steaks!
