[004 - video/action for the Hardy] and that icon does not properly show his horror

[An extremely serious faced Luffy appears on the screen. There may be a hint of anger in his expression, as well. He's definitely not trying to hide it, that's for sure.]

Oi, has anyone else seen dead bodies around? Earlier, a fri-- [He immediately stops talking, as he's distracted by something. He looks away from the camera, and a grin comes on his face. He runs over to...somewhere, and calls out. You can see a head of long, orange hair sitting nearby] Oi, Nami! When the hell did you get here? And on the ship, too! Listen, listen! There's som--

[He freezes when he gets in front of her. There's dozens of cuts and large wounds on her body, blood all over her. Luffy's face has nothing but horror on it. He takes a step toward her, and reaches his hand out.] N.......Na.....Nami?

[He turns around to see if anyone can help him. After looking around, his expression changes to slight relief. He walks over, closer to the front of the ship. Someone was laying down, looking as though they were taking a nap. He had green hair, so it was easy to make him out.] Z-Zoro! You gotta help! Nami's really hurt, a--

[He froze again. Zoro's face was almost impossible to identify, disfigured by cuts and holes. His torso was hard hard to look at it was so bloody and injured. Luff let out a gasp of shock. He backed away, but then tripped and dropped his comm. He raised himself up, turned to look at what he tripped over, and let out a small scream. A boy with dark skin and a long nose had bullet holes in his face, his nose bent completely out of joint. Luffy stood up and trembled.] U....Usopp? Oi, Usopp, stop kidding around, this isn't funny...... [But the body didn't even budge. Luffy was shaking, and his his expression was terror. As he backed away, he kicked the comm to a different viewpoint. He looked toward it, and saw a girl with tan skin, and long black hair. Same as the others, bloody, cut up, and dead.] Robin! Robin, get up! The others........

[He clutched his head with his hands, and looked away. No, no no no no no. This couldn't be happening. This couldn't fucking be happening. He decided to look up to avoid seeing anymore horrifying scenes.

But what he saw there was worse. Four bodies were hanging from the mast. A reindeer, a skeleton with a majority of its bones crushed, a tall man with blonde hair, and a large cyborg.

All were hanging by their necks. Cuts went all down their bodies, antlers broken, machines parts out of place. Luffy couldn't take it anymore. He stood frozen before screaming.] NO! NO NO NO NO! THIS IS WHAT THOSE TWO YEARS WERE FOR! TO STOP THIS! I WAS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! [He fell to his knees, hands still holding his head, and pounded his head against the floor. He couldn't do anything to help anyone.

Again.]

[He sniffles as he buries his face in Japan's chest., still trembling a little. He's trying to be strong and hold back his tears.]

[He's a bit startled at first, but that fades quickly and he wraps his arms loosely around Luffy to comfort him this way, at least.]

It is fine to cry, but we will move on, won't we?

[He nods slowly.]

Mhm.....

Whoever is responsible for this sort of thing... [He has a very serious look on his face....]

I do not wish to give them the satisfaction of affecting me. [He's not sure if that'd help Luffy, but he's sort of. Saying he'll be a sturdy thing Luffy can fall back on if he wants to.]

[He nods slowly.]

I hope you don't have to, either....

[He rests a hand on Luffy's hat]

Luffy-kun does not have to deal with this alone.

[He took a few deep, quick breathes before replying.]

.....thanks. [He grips Japan's sleeves a little tighter.] ...a lot.

[He lowers the hand from the hat slowly.]

Of course. We are friends, after all.

[He looks up at Japan.] ....nakama. [Better than friends.]

[That actually gets a smile.]

Nakama.

[A firm nod. He slowly lets go of his sleeves.

He'll just.....look at the ground in front of him.] .....nakama.

Have you spoken to Marco or Ace?

Uh......no... [He shakes his head.]

It may be good to. They are facing a similar thing, after all.

[He paused for a while. Japan was right. Luffy was just too broken to remember that.]

....yeah.....do you know where they are?

[He nods and gestures to wherever Marco and Ace are, hell if I understand boats]

[He slowly stands up, and waits for Japan to come with him.]

[Japan stands up as well. Yeah he'll just trail along with Luffy.]

[He'll just. Go inside the ship and start looking for Ace and Marco.

Don't leave him alone right now, Japan.]

[HE WON'T. He will follow yes.]

[Good. He's a bit of a wreck.

And he doesn't really wanna keep moving around, he's feeling sick. So he'll just. Plop down on a chair in the kitchen.]

[Japan's gonna make some tea. Because he believe tea solves all problems.]

[Oh, he sees you over there makin' stuff.]

Ah, you don't have to make anything. 'M not hungry.....

[.....HOLY SHIT.]

[Oh gosh Luffy]

I-I will make tea, that is all! It is soothing! For myself, if Luffy-kun does not want any...

[Didn't Sanji say the same thing one time? After a tough battle or something....

Guess this counted.] Mn, okay then..... [He doesn't say if he wants any, but make it anyway.]
