gomugomunowin | [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.]

I felt them!!!! They're real!!! [He coughs from the strain on his throat.]

Maybe it's a body, but it can't be them. {He refused to believe it.}

They just LOOK like our friends... something is messing with our heads!

[He clutched his head with his hands.]

Make it stop!!!! Make it go away!!!!! [He's had too much pain to be going through this.]

I... I can't. {He sounded so distraught over this. God he didn't want his brother to suffer anymore. This was such bull shit. He shifted his weight and pulled him in against him a little tighter, trying to shield him from the sight.

But then a thought occured to him. He couldn't toss them over board, they just reappeared... but what if he burned them?

He stood suddenly, not really thinking very clearly and turned towards the bodies. He started to heat up, air distorting around him and fists clenching as he summoned his fires.}

A......ce? [He looked at as his hands lit on fire. What was he.......with some difficulty, Luffy looked to where Ace was facing. it took him a moment or two, but he got it.

Shit.] ACE NO!!!!!!!!!! [He tackled Ace to the ground, and just started crying.]

PLEASE DON'T!!!! PLEASE DON'T BURN THEM, ACE!!!!!!! DON'T DON'T DON'T!!!!! I'LL BE FINE, SO JUST DON'T-- [He coughed and hiccuped between screams, clinging to Ace.]

{He's caught slightly off guard but he remains solid enough for Luffy to tackle him, quickly extinguishing his fires so he doesn't harm his little brother. He just throws his arms around his brother and holds him, squeezing his eyes tightly shut and clinging to the lanky boy.}

[Luffy kept on holding onto Ace, his breathing fast and shaky. The tears kept coming down as he trembled. He coughed and hiccuped more as he spoke.]

Please don't.........
