Die for my crew von Sanko ('We miss you Luffy!') ================================================================================ Prolog: The death of a legend ----------------------------- ‘Luffy!’ Who is there? ‘Luffy!’ Someone screams my name. Who is it? Who is there? ‘Luffy!’ Now I know. My crew. They are here. Why? I ordered them to go and flee. Why did they come back? One last time I open my eyes. ‘Luffy!’ Yes. I see them. My howl crew. They run threw me. No. Don’t come near. Stay away. With the last power in my body, I stand up. My crewmates come closer. I can’t admit this. Not now. If they come, they will get in danger. I don’t want that. They would lose their lives. Suddenly there are other voices. I turn around. Oh no. the navy! No. my mates are too weak from the last battle. They will go to prison. I will not allowed this. ‘Luffy!’ Yes. They will fight for me till the end, but I wouldn’t bring them in danger. And if this mean that this will take my last breath, that’s ok. One last time, I rise my arm. I stretch my arm and smash the ground. ‘Luffy!’ No. Don’t scream my name. I can’t come with you. I can’t. I look up into the eyes of my friends, wish are in shock. Anything I can do, is smile. My crew fell down into the cliff, I teared. ‘Luffy! Why?’ Why? Because I don’t want you to die. At least, you can fulfil your dreams. Also if you guys need a new captain. Life. Life and forget me. I open my mouth for my last words: ‘Go. Flee and life. Please go.’ I can see that my friends don’t want to hear this, but they have to understand that it’s over. The last power leaf my body. Hardly I fell to the ground. The voices of the navy become louder. But they will only find my death body. I must smile. Like the King of pirates, I will smile in my death. That was my dream. King of pirates. Sad that this will never come true. One lonely tear fall down my skin. I close my eyes. This is the end. Zolo, Sanji, Usop, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Franky. Sorry. Sorry that our time is over. And then, my head role to the side and anything went black. Kapitel 1: We miss you ---------------------- Silence on the merry go. Nobody say something after… what had happened. The happiness, with had ever filled the ship, has gone. Maybe forever. Because nobody want’s to be happy. Because of our captain. Yes Luffy. We all miss you. So badly. Since you had fallen for us, no one speaks. Everyone must go on with it in his own way. Like me. There are no feelings anymore. Without you, there is no reason to go on. Our dreams lost there meaning, because you are not there to life them with us. I think you didn’t know how much you meant to us. More than everything. Zolo had become more quiet than he was before. He and Sanji wanted to climb the cliff and we had to stop them. Zolo was so angry, that he couldn’t help you, that he smashed two of his swords on the rocks and it was the first time I saw him crying. Now, he lay against the sheaphead of the merry go and star with empty eyes over the ocean. The same way as Usopp. His usually so liveable eyes are only sad now. He become so quiet, that we really think, he is silent. Not only one lie came over his lips. He sits on the deck and look true the ground. Sanji stopped flirting with me and Robin. He cut himself more than one time, as he cocked. That never happened in the past. Sometimes I see his shoulders shaking, if he is cocking. Mostly he forget something and his meals are inedible now. Chopper again started to fear humans and hide between the mandarin trees. But if he is with us, he always pull his head into his face. One or two times I heard him mutter your name, Luffy. Robin sit only in her bed and look into the air. I want to talk to her, but she doesn’t talk. There are only tears in her eyes every time. Now and then there was a sob from her side. Franky is the only one, who does really something on the ship. But I think, that he only repair the ship to distract himself. You see. Everyone changed since you are gone. Inclusive me. And everyone was crying. Robin and me, we started crying at first. Chopper and Usopp did it also. Usopp screamed your name and didn’t want to believe. I saw tear drops onto the ground before Franky, as he held his head down. Zolo and Sanji didn’t want to cry, but they done it in the darkness, where no one could see them. With you, our life is gone. We don’t want to live without you. Why couldn’t you understand? If we fight with you till the end, you would probably be alive. Why are you gone? We miss you so much. Couldn’t you come back to us? It would be better for all of us. Without you, we can’t sail on. We don’t want to. We would rather be dead, than stay without you. Why didn’t you let us leave this world with you. With me. Tears roll down my skin. I look around the ship and then, I take a decision. Kapitel 2: what can i do? ------------------------- When I wake up, there in only darkness around me. I lie on a cold stoneflore. It is really hard to open my eyes, because they are so heavy. There is only a little bit light, so I don´t see so much. The only thing I see, is a black room. No. Not a room. A cell. That means: I´m not dead. I´m in prison. With one is better? I can´t tell. If I would be dead, that means I failed a battle, but I would have fallen in a fight. But I´m in prison. That means I failed and I´m arrestes. Nothing could be more embaressing for me. I want to be king of pirates. There is no way for a king of pirates to go to prison. In pain I must close my eyes. What should I do now? What can I do? And the most interesting question: Do I want to do something? Why don´t I only close my eyes and die? No. That is not what I think to do. I will not die like this. There is something I must know. My crew. I must know what had happened to them. I must know if they flee and if not, what had happened to them. With this, I open my eyes ones more. It takes a little time till my eyes get used to the darkness. Now I can see a little more. But if I haven´t seen what I can see now, it would be the same. Anything I can see are the callbars. And behind them, there is only a wall. With a lot of pains I sit up and lean my back against the wall. It is cold, like anything in this cell. It´s like any light had left this place to give the power to the darkness. And in the darkness, there is no time. I can be here for only a couple of minutes, hours, days. I don´t know. But that is not important. The only important thing is, that I had enoth rest. Enoth rest to try a prison break. Yes. I don´t want to try. I will. Suddenly the in the cell turns on. It´s so bright that I have to protect my eyes with my hand. Then there are footsteps, but I can´t see who is there. I must strain myself hardly, to see something. And then, I can see, who had come. It is someone I don´t really want to see now. Navy officer Smoker. After all he finally caught me. After so many escapes and fights. Like last time, I must smile. Smoker stand before the cellbars, on the other side and smile with a sigaret in his mouth. I never saw him without one. I break the silence at first: ‘Where is my crew?’ Smokers smile goes bigger, what makes me really angry. If there wouldn´t be the bars, he wouldn´t stand there anymore. If he done something to my friends, I will kick his ass, that he isn´t able to sit for a very long time. I ask one more time: ‘Where is my crew?’ ‘Not here,’ he answer, ‘But they will come to rescue you. And if this will happen, we get them.’ I tear open my eyes. They have me and want to get my crew. And I´m the bait. I will not allow this. I will flee, before they can arrest them. Smoker look at me in surprise, as I begin to laugh: ‘Do you really think they will come? No. They will not come. I ordered them to go away. And if I order something, they will do it. Belife me smoker. You will not get them.’ I know that I´m wrong, but why tell him? Smoker loud voice sounds thrue me: ‘and if they will not come, I have a consolation prize. I´m the one, who cought the two brothers anybody want to arrest.’ I´m totally shocked. The two brothers? Two? I scream at Smoker: ‘you mean Trace? Where is he? What have you done to him?’ Smoker laugh like crazy. He really makes me angry, but I can´t fight him. If would be bad, if he knows that I´m not so weak anymore. I must keep him thinking that I can´t move. ‘Hear me, strawhead Luffy. I´m in a really good mood today, so I will bring you two together.’ Smoker klapp with his hands and once more, there are footsteps. The door of my sell open and a lifeless looking body is throw in. ‘Trace!’ Kapitel 3: my promice --------------------- ‘Trace!’ I fell down next to him and turn his body, that he lie on his back. His body look exactly like mine. Too much cuts and blue spots. Like mine, his close are teased and bloody. Is he alive? ‘Trace’ Smoker laughs his ass of: ‘Stupid boy. He´s alive. Still. But this will change in a view hours. He is too weak to live on. If he doesn´t get help, he will die. He will get no help from us.’ ‘Shut up,’ I scream. I can´t believe this. They let him die. They will let him die without helping. The anger begin to explode in my body. No. That´s exactly what he wants. Don´t do something stupid. He is waiting for me making a mistake. On no Smoker. I´m not that stupid. Believe me. I will not give you the chance to fight me. No. I will waite. Waite for the best time for my revenge. And this will come. Sooner as you wish. With all the hate in my heard and more powerful than everything you ever seen in your live. Look forward to this time Smoker. My howl attention will be only for you. I´m smiling: ‘Go away or I will kick your ass.’ And that´s no lie. I can and I will. Smoker is still smiling and turns around: ‘I will go, but hear my words. You can´t break out and your brother… he´s dead. Like you will be it.You must know: No one who was ones in one of this cells ever see the light again. They are all dead now. You must come to terms with this. Say goodbye to your life, but don´t forget who arrested you, strawhead Luffy.’ With this words he goes out of my sight. I look down to Trace and lay my head on his chest. His heard is beating. I breath out. Good. He´s alive and it doesn´t seam that this will change in the next couple of hours. This will be the time I need to escape. That must be enoth. We must flee and then I will take revenge for what he has done to you and to me and probably to my crew: ‘Don´t give up brother. I will bring us out of here. I promice!’ Kapitel 4: When it’s over I will laugh -------------------------------------- I’m so satisfied like I never was. Finally I made it. I’ve arrested Monkey d. Luffy and Puma d. Trace. Oh. I’m so evil. How can someone let them die like this? I can. Laughing out loud, I go threw the corridor of the navy headquarter. Everyone who sees me is respectful because of me. Everyone had hear of me and what I made. They all had laughed at me, because I failed so many times. But now: I did it and nobody makes fun of me. It’s a great feeling to have so much influence. I can’t help, but I must laugh all the way down to my office. There was no time in the past, when I felt like this. All I feel is proud. In my bureau, I fell down onto my chair and wave at Taashigi, who is standing in one corner of the room: ‘Ah, Tashigi. Nice to see you. Isn’t this a wonderful day?’ I look out of my big window. How big and mysterious the ocean is. For me, it is only a little see now. A little see where I can travel on and arrest all other pirates. After the brothers, I can arrest all others so easily. That’s no challenge. A little sad. There are only weak pirates on my list anymore. ‘Smoker,’ Tashigi say, ‘What do you do now! I mean, you arrest the two pirates you hunted your howl life. What do you want to do now? With them?’ I laugh. How sweet this girl is. She doesn’t get it at all. So I will tell her: ‘Hear me Tashigi. You are right. It was my live task to catch them and it’s not over now. There is something I have to do.’ Tashigi doesn’t understand what I want to tell her. I see it in her eyes. ‘My job is not over jet. My job will be over, when I caught the strawhead crew and Luffy and Trace are dead. This will be my triumph. I don’t want to get rest, before I see them both dead. This picture will burn into my eyes like Trace fire does it so a long time ago. And I will laugh. When it’s over I will laugh and step on their death bodys. This will be great.’ Tashigi step a view steps backwards. I can see that she is shocked. But I don’t care about that. Now I can be so evil I was all the time. Now I can lay down my mask and show all others my dark soul. I laugh: ‘I must see them, before they die. I want to see the lights leaving their eyes.’ Suddenly, the door of my office fling open. There is standing a navy officer. I want to shout at him, but he speaks first: ‘Admiral Smoker. I’m sorry, but there is something you must know.’ ‘What is it?’ The officer looks at me in fear: ‘A ship is coming!’ Kapitel 5: prison break ----------------------- Now, we are alone and I don’t like the feeling in me. With the knowledge that I can’t do anything for Trace. I could break down on this. He is lying to my feats. My brother. Why doesn’t someone help you? Why? I smash my fist into the ground. I’m so angry. With the navy and with me. Why can’t I help him? Am I so weak? I look down to Traces face. I can see, that he torment himself. His live is going to the end. And I’m sitting here, doing nothing. My eyes are filled with tears: ‘Brother.’ What would you say, if you could see me now? You would tell me how a big looser I am and that I must go up and take my fate in my own hands. And this is what I will do. I promised you something. This promise was no lie. It will never be a lie. I will bring us out of here and if this will be the last thing I do. You saved me so many times and now I will save you. So I stand up. I know this building. Shanks told me about it once. I think, he never thought, that I will remember his words. But I do. I pull Trace onto my back and make sure, that he can’t fall down. As I stand up, I must get once bearing at first. Left after the wall, behind the bars must be the office of Tashigi. I pray she is not there. I breath out and concentrate myself. Then I kick the door of my sell open, ran threw it and smash the wall to my left. This all happened in less than one second. Btu it takes much power. In Tashigis office I knee down. I have overestimate myself and Trace is really heavy, too. And then, there is the next shock. Tashigi stands in front of me. I glare up at her. Now it’s over. That was my great prison break. I’m waiting for that what’s coming next. But nothing happen. Then Tashigi pull me up and screams at me: ‘Why are you sitting here? Everyone have heard this. You must go. Go down the stairs and smash the wall at the end. Then you are out of here. And hurry up.’ With this, she srue me out of her office to the stairs. I’m so surprise, that I do what she told me. She could be kidding, but I don’t think she is. I only ran down the stairs. And it takes no long time, then I see the wall. I rise my arm and smash one more time a wall. This time, it hurts. My howl body is one painful wound. So I’m stumbling more out of the building than going. Outside I can’t stand any longer and fell down. Trace slide off my back and fell beside me. I can’t get up. My body hurts so badly and the wounds from the last battle are not healed jet. I want to move and flee, but I can’t. there is no way I can get up. Then, I see something. It’s small, but I recognise it. My ship. My crew. They come to rescue us. Yes. Now, everything will be good. A noise catch my attention. Beside me, Trace make a noise. I look at him: ‘Trace?’ what is he doing? He cough one time, his chest goes up and then nothing. No moving anymore. I turn his head to me and… no. He’s not breathing. I lay my head of his chest. No. His heard isn’t beating. He is dead: ‘Trace? No… don’t go. Please Trace, no!’ He can’t hear me. It’s over. ‘Trace!’ Tears role down my skin. He is dead. So close to the goal. Why? Why didn’t I move faster? Why didn’t I go out of here a bit earlier? It brings nothing. He is dead and he will never come back. I hug his body and can’t stop crying: ‘I’m sorry, brother.’ Then I loose the last power and my world turns back again. Epilog: happy end? ------------------ I’m standing over you and press your head with my feat to the ground. You angrily looking up to me. I can see, that you want to kill me, but you are too late. I fought and I won. Now you are the one on which body I step. And everyone is watching you. From all sides , there are smiling faces. They look at you and don’t feel any pity. I don’t feel sorry for you as well. Laughing I stare down to you: ‘I told you, that I will take revenge, Smoker.’ Yes. Now I’m in the higher position. Now I can take away what you love most. You take away my honour and now I will take yours. I will do this for my crew and for Trace. You done so cruel things to him and this I will never forget. I will take your life. I come closer to your face and tell you: ‘I will take my order back. No one of my crew will touch you. Because it’s me, who want to do this. Ore better, someone special.’ You are laughing: ‘Wahahaha. Cone on. Just do it. I’m not fear of one of your crewmates. If you are too weak, to kill me yourself, you are rubbish.’ I cut his words by kicking his face. But he couldn’t know. I don’t told him. But I will: ‘you think, that I will order one of my crewmates to kill you? No, Smoker. That would be too easy.’ Ones more Smoker laughs: ‘Hahaha. I new it. You are fear. Hahaha. All pirates are exactly the same. They are only strong if there are ships of them. And you and your damn crew. You are not different. You are really lousy pirates.’ He laughs and can’t stop. But I let him do it. I’m polite today. I will let it by Smoker, how he will spend his last seconds to the end. Yes. There is no going back now. Smoker overdone it ones too much. Nothing will save him from dying now. But that’s a little sad. That I must make my hands dirty on him. ‘Do it,’ Smoker screams, ‘do what you must do, I will not flee like you done it last time. I will show you how brave I can be.’ I knee down and pull Smokers head by his hair to me: ‘if you will throw your live away, like it is rubbish, you are not brave, you are stupid. And I don’t what to do this. There is someone who want’s to do it. I will show you.’ I pull his head up and turn it so, that he must look forward. ‘Nice to see you, Smoker!’ Smokers face went white as he recognises the voice. ‘Tashigi!’ ‘Yes, it´s me. But I will not kill you. One of my friends will do this.’ She steps to the side. A man comes closer and takes of his coat. ‘Trace!’ ‘Yes. And now you will DIE!’ Hosted by Animexx e.V.
