Lucci is filled with Envy.

At first, it was too Jyabura. To be so open, to be so... Unhidden, wherehas, Lucci, who never shows his emotions, almost as though he never had them...

But that's a lie. He has emotions. Just...

And then, came along Blueno, that, lucky, old guy, who could retire, who didn't have to continue, who didn't have to live up to pointless expectations that Lucci did.

Moreso, there was Kumadori... Oh, how he wanted be so, to be so... honorable. It's better that the shit he was doing.

Of course, Kalifa was also someone to envy, a woman, enough said.

Not that Lucci wanted to be a woman, but that woman had guts, something he wanted, something he longed for.

Maybe his greatest envy lied within Fukurou, loud, and unafraid of unmade promises to keep silent.

No, it's more of.. Kaku? No, the young male was very similar to himself, but if anything...

Monkey D. Luffy. The number two on his 'Kill' list right after Spandam.

He envied him to the point where he would cry, but no, Lucci had more pride then that, but not nearly enough like Kaku. That boy was going to have it handed to him...

Monkey D. Luffy, the man that could smile, and brag off about the fact that he didn't have any other skills, but he was strong.

Would Lucci also be strong if he fought for someone?

Maybe, his true envy lied deep within Nico Robin, the woman that was cared. To the point where everyone else in the entire world would be an enemy, was that what he wanted?

To be loved and cherished?

He didn't know anymore. Or was it that he didn't want to know?

He was so jealous of fate and destiny, able to control ones future, whether it be about which path they take...

If Lucci had died back when he was 13, would it have mattered? Would he be like this?

The answer: yes.

Paulie, the blonde male from Water 7, what a lucky one, living life without main worries, only minor one that fixed itself.

Iceburg, was this the meaning of your 'justice' as well? The fact that they would kill under orders.

To be the head, giving the orders, was that was Lucci wanted?

To be a god?

"The difference between a leader and a god, is the fact that god can chose your deaths. Leaders can't, if they did, all they would be is dictators."

To be a book writer, to write about the world, and obtain money and goods from it. To live a life like so, without wondering what kind of people one would have to kill ever time they wake up.

Is that what he wants?

Rod Lucci is a mysterious person. As of now, he's aimlessly traveling around and about, looking for something new.

Two years ago, he realized what love meant. To have affections mean to have weakness. And looking at Monkey D. Luffy, all of a sudden, Lucci can concur. He wanted to be the one to do so. The one to continue and live on. To love means to hate. So, because Lucci hates the straw-hatted brat it means he loves something else.

And after so many years he learns it. That he loves...His friends, another way to put it, he loves the ex-CP9 members. It's a shame that he realizes this two days too late. And now, he's looking for them once more. Be it one year, 6 lives, or the rest of eternity, Rob Lucci is certain that he would find them all.

But really, he has Straw-hat to blame, for making him realize these...feelings that weren't necessary, but, maybe it was because they weren't machines any more. They weren't used anymore...

He envies those small kids, the ones with a pet, it makes him remind himself of Hattori, that flew off, once upon a time...

Maybe it was because Hattori was fed up with him.

And all of sudden, he hated everything and everyone.

Was his jealously getting to his head.

He laughed at the dead people at his feet, one more village, down in the ashes.

He wanted his happiness, the happiness that destiny and fate ripped off his hands...

At first, it was innocent.

An innocent dream, to come back and haunt Spandam further, that was the wish.

And they had obtained it.

Now, they weren't so innocent. Covered in blood, they could care less whose it was.

And then, went their first comrade, the one that just walked off, Kumadori. Followed by him, was Blueno, and then...

Kaku.

The long-nosed male, did he really think that Lucci would let him go after he did that?

Not in a million years.

And then, that's what caused them to realize it, they were no longer innocent.

Tainted black, something that they were so proud of before, now they realize it. No.

Now, Lucci understands it. And now, he finally realizes what Iceburg meant all those years ago...

Was what he was doing really justice?

And just what was Justice really?

Now, that left one more thing.

Why was he so jealous of it?
