……

I had a dream, a very long dream.

In the dream, Luffy and Ace died, Sabo appeared, and then was burned by flames.

The figures of Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji, Robin, and Chopper were playing and having fun with me in my dream, and then they all fell to the ground covered in blood.

A dark shadow appeared and asked me what exactly are you protecting? What can you protect.

I looked at my companion who fell to the ground and didn't know what to say. What did I protect? Aren’t I the one being protected by them?

Then the scene changed and I dreamed of my parents and younger brother. I knew clearly that this was a dream because when I first met Mr. Karp, I told a lie. I killed my parents and younger brother myself. Going to sea.

In the dream, my parents and younger brother were still bossing me around. They beat me and scolded me, but I became what I was when I was a child again. I couldn't resist, and I couldn't resist.

Until I dreamed again of the day I killed my parents and younger brother.

That day, my parents forcibly sold me as a goddaughter to a man in the village who had killed his wife. Although I was called a goddaughter, I knew that I was going to be sold to someone else as a wife.

That day they took me away by force, and I couldn't resist. When I got to that family's house, I tried to escape, but I was beaten and brought back.

I pretended to be beaten and got close to the man, asking him to give me pen and paper to write a letter to the village chief saying that I liked it very much and that they had indeed accepted me as their daughter and that everything was fine.

After I finished writing, I used the remaining paper I had saved to draw a knife. I enthusiastically cooked a meal for the man and then begged him to sleep with me because I was afraid of the dark.

I always knew that I was a good-looking child. Even though I looked malnourished and thin, I was still the most beautiful child in the village.

He agreed to me happily without any defense. I pretended to be asleep at night and waited for him to fall asleep. Then I stabbed the knife into the man's throat through the moonlight through the window.

The man woke up and wanted to struggle, but he only struggled for a moment and then stared with his eyes fixed.

I returned home that night and got into the house through the damaged part of the courtyard wall. I went to my brother's room first, covered his mouth and nose with my hands, and stabbed his neck with the knife in the same way.

He didn't struggle, and his face, which was not ugly, was very peaceful, as if he was sleeping.

I went to my parents' room again. My father was still snoring and sleeping soundly. I stabbed the knife into his neck very skillfully. When I wanted to kill the woman next to me, she opened her eyes.

I saw my reflection in her pupils through the moonlight. The red blood on her face was still bleeding, and the hand holding the knife was also full of blood.

I think I should be like an evil ghost in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, I thought she would yell at me as usual, but she knelt down and begged me not to kill her, I nodded, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and then I learned about her life.

"I reject."

This was the first and last time I rejected her.

I knew what I had done, and after washing away the blood on the beach, I made up my mind to forget these things. Pushing the boat that usually targeted my children's parents, I set sail. After that, I was still a clean child, and I was still a clean child. .

I kept brainwashing myself, but I still couldn't forget those things, the struggle of being stabbed and the temperature of the blood. I decided to put these things in my stomach.

Unexpectedly, I dreamed about it after a long time, and experienced that feeling again in the dream.

The picture changed again to the laughter and laughter of me and my companions on the Melly. I wanted to record these with my camera and draw them, but soon the picture changed to the appearance of them lying in a pool of blood.

When I first met Luffy and the others, I was really happy that someone showed kindness to me and that someone was willing to be my friend, but I knew how unworthy and dirty I was.

I am a heinous person.

However, even though I am like this, I still want to protect the things I cherish.
