Sabo
I just want to be free.
The thought races through him. He is terrified of what would happen if his parents found him, what they would do to his true family. If he had stayed, he would forever regret it, but he would go back for his nakama. And so when they do come, threatening to kill them, he goes. He cries, but not because he must return to that place, but because he must leave his nakama. And when he gets the chance, he runs away. He will set out to the seas. But that isn't the path for him. And he realizes that as the second bomb comes hurtling towards him. It is the path of his brothers, the path of greatness, of freedom. But he helped them onto that path. He pushed them onto it. And so he died smiling, thinking:
"Good luck, Luffy, Ace. Make my death worth it."
