Read it while listening to Bink no Sake
50 YEARS LATER
A group of young boys and girls were playing pirates on an island.
Suddenly one of the boys stop. "Hey, you guys hear that?"
"Hear what?" says another kid from the group.
"Shhhh...listen" They all pause and listen.
They hear a faint but clear violin echoing from the top of a hill near the shore.
It is a familiar tune that Pirates used to sing long ago.
"Common let's go!" says the first boy and everyone else starts running towards the direction where the music was coming from.
They finally reach the top of the cliff and they find a tall skeleton with an afro sitting alone and playing violin in front of some tombstones.
The kids walk towards him when they saw the tombstones clearly.
They were no names.
Upon looking closer, they saw there were some items placed on each on the individual tombstones.
One had three swords, one had books, one had a long slingshot, one had a metallic rod, and so on.
The kids came quietly and stood behind the skeleton who was sitting in front of a tombstone which bigger than the others and was placed right at the center.
That tombstone was also unmarked but there was an old straw-hat on top of it with a jolly roger of a skull and cross-bones with the skull wearing a straw hat.
One of the kids who a bit older than the others, gasps. "Mugiwara no Luffy..." he mumbles.
The skeleton stops playing and turns around.
"Oh hello there" the skeleton speaks with a gentle tone raising his hat with his hand to greet them. "Did you know him? The P...Pirate King?" gasps the kid.
The skeleton becomes silent for a few seconds and lets out a gentle yohoho.
"Yes, he was my Captain" smiles the skeleton.
All of them gasps astonished. Their eyes widen and smiles. "Did you really sail with the Pirate King!?" one of them exclaims.
"Well of course I did little one, I was blessed with the honor to be the ship musician because every pirate crew needs music you see!"
"What were they like? The Pirate King and his crew?" exclaims another, all excited.
"Oh where to begin! Well for starters, our shipwright was an eccentric yet brilliant cyborg who only ever drank cola. Our archeologist was a young lady who was troubled by her past yet found friendship with all of us. Our ship’s doctor was a tiny raccoon-dog, reindeer fellow. The marksman of the ship was a coward, but also noble and good-hearted. Our navigator was a foxy young woman with a nasty habit of stealing. The cook was a hothead and constantly tried to one-up with our first mate, who became the world's greatest swordsmen and...."
"And the captain? The Pirate King?!" interrupts the older kid.
"Our Captain was the glue that held us all together, or should I say the rubber band? Yohoho! He was a spirit as free as the breeze that filled our sails and pushed all of us from the East Blue to the Grand Line, and on to Raftel where he found the One Piece."
A gentle
wind blew across the cliff tousling their hair.
They were all speechless.
"And if I were to say any more, I would say they were my family, and I miss them very much" smiles the skeleton.
Suddenly they hear a sound coming from the ocean. The kind of sound whales make. The kids looked from the edge of the cliff and saw a huge whale with scars all over its forehead crests, and shooting water through its blowhole. The skeleton looks at the kids and laughs. "Yohoho! How about a song? This one is Laboon's favorite.. ( Violin Plays Bink's Sake)
