Summery: One-shot-series Thoughts of different people on the straw hat crew after Enies Lobby.
--- A moment of happiness ---
--- Makino ---
I'm standing in my bar, we have many visitors but somehow it seems lonely. The villagers are here, celebrating your victory on Enies Lobby. The celebrate that you are chasing your dreams…
And I hope that despite the hardships of a pirates life, you are happy.
I know that you haven't been away for long but I can't help but feel that it has been years since you left…
It seems so lonely without you. I remember your determination to become a pirate, the hard training you did to follow your dream…
Now I'm seeing your face again. Even though it's the same picture as the other two times, I still think that you're as happy as you are on the photo.
Beside your poster lie seven others. Are they your friends? Are they laughing with you right now?
I don't know but I hope they are…
I hope so many things…
I hear the chief screaming about us having no shame. Things won't change anytime soon here, I think. Maybe it's good like this… So you have a place to return to…
Because I hope that one day you might call this place your home…
But deep down I know… your home is the blue sea, with all it's adventures and challenges, and your family is your nakama.
The only thing left for me to wish…
To wish that you archive your dream
Good luck, ototou-chan, good luck Luffy…Author's Note: Two posts today, for I have let you waiting for so long.
