[One Piece] Courage to Dream

No.20 Chapter [-]: The Skull Is the Symbol of Pirate Spirit

"Is it okay? Is it really okay to let me draw?"

Jyoti remembers that the pirate flag is very important to a pirate group.

Once upon a time, that man pointed at his cherry blossom pirate flag and smiled heroically at her and Chopper: "I want to use this pirate's "skeleton" spirit to heal everyone!"

Even though his medical skills are not necessarily very good, and he is even called a quack by people, he has never stopped his heart of wanting to heal people and save patients.

—The quack...Hiruluk.

"Of course!" Luffy affirmed Jyoti, and waved his hand, "Hey, Zoro~ Take down the sail and flag!"

"At any rate, let me take a look!!"

Sauron was dissatisfied with the authenticity, and started to unload the sail and flag.

"Who drew this...?" Jyoti stared at the flag that hadn't passed the graffiti, without making any comments.

"It's me!" Luffy said proudly, pointing at himself.

"The drawing is really good..." Chopper covered his mouth with his little hoof and laughed.

But Luffy took it seriously, didn't realize the irony at all, and laughed loudly: "Ahahaha, arigadona~~~"

Jody also laughed, picked up the pen and began to think about how to draw the pirate flag, her eyes fell on Luffy, and an idea gradually brewed.

Zoro finally got the drawing paper.

On that ordinary drawing paper is a confident and optimistic smile of a teenager.With the vast sea as the background, the boy in the painting clasped his arms around his chest, and his clothes were fiery red.An emotion that is enough to make people have the courage to face all difficulties and ignite the persistence to dreams, through the whole picture, instantly jumps into the heart.

"Indeed... very powerful."

Although he didn't understand art, Sauron still felt the incredible appeal shown in this painting.

"Really~" Chopper twisted on the side.

Hearing Sauron's words, Jyoti couldn't help showing a happy smile.

The pirate flag is not difficult to draw, and Jyoti quickly completed the task.

"Sure enough...you are amazing~!" Luffy was very excited when he saw the new flag and sail, which was much higher than his standard of not even passing graffiti. Once hung up, the whole small wooden boat seemed to be high-end. It's on the class.

"Zoro, hang up~" He called Sauron again.

"Why me again!!" Sauron was angry, dare I be a coolie? !

"Hahaha, what does it matter!"

Luffy smiled, that happy smile always made people unable to get angry with him.Sauron could only sigh, and then started to hang the things back up.

The black flag fluttered against the wind. On this flag, a skull wearing a straw hat grinned at people, with eight teeth forming a graceful arc.

Pirates of all ages hang different skull flags on their masts.The skeleton is the symbol of the spirit of pirates, betting their own lives, sailing on this vast sea for their dreams and beliefs.

Even if Jyoti doesn't know the meaning of this straw hat to Luffy, she can see how important it is, and it will become a symbol of the entire pirate group in the future.

And the smile of the skeleton is the real meaning to be expressed.

Just like that boy, he fearlessly changed the world with his smile instead of letting the world change his original self, shouted out the majestic declaration towards his dream, never hesitated, and moved forward with his head held high.

The pirate flag fluttered wildly in the wind.

someday...

The name of the Straw Hat Pirates will follow the boy's progress——

Resounding throughout the world! !
