~~~ EAST BLUE ~~~
On a small island in a large town, a boy only about 4 years was reading a newspaper with a worn-out dress full ragged and stitched shirt and pants, had small wooden stick looked like a cane by his side, He was skinny. He had a small lump on his right knee, his eyes were pure black like an abyss and had black spots look like he had not slept in a few days. As he was reading a little girl with boyish cloth almost the same age as she came running to him with an apple in her hand.
The boy looked and said " What did you steal this time Aiko ? " with a concerning look.
Aiko replied "SHUT UP EARVIN !! Do You Want the apple or not " showing the apple with a proud expression.
Earvin chuckled.
Earvin - " No you eat you if you are too skinny. You look like a stick plus to want to become a
'Beauty' in the future right? EAT IT " said with a peaceful smile.
Aiko nodded her head but said-"You have to have half or else I won't eat it but ONLY half Okay NO more".
Earvin wanted to refuse Aikio pushed the apple into his face and told: " You Cut for me".
Earvin took out a small knife from a pouch behind his back and cut the apple in two equal half. Gave one half to Aiko who devour half of the apple while holding others in his hand and looked at the cute little girl's expression while she ate the apple. In a minute apple half was gone. She looked at another half of the apple with hungry eyes, she as not had her fill. He tried to give her another apple half but she shook her little head forcefully and closed her mouth with her hands which were drooling as she watched the apple.
Earvin thought to himself { She is an angel }.
While he was thinking when he heard a rumbling sound came like 'GAWWWWWWWWWAAA!!' from the little girl's stomach.
He took a small bite and said - " HERE I had my fill ". Gave the forcefully to her hand.
Akio with a sad voice -" Aren't you hungry too".
Earvin tricks her by saying - " I am not. I going on a diet can you see that lump in the right knee that is ' FAT ' i am not like any other person who stored fat in there tummy".
As successfully convinced he looked at her with a peaceful smile.
Once she has eaten the apple he told her - "Let's continue your studies ".
Akio obediently nods her head. Earvin taught the alphabets, simple maths and never steal. Last part she never listens to Earvin. Earvin tried to give her all-round education and basic tai chi and never steal from good people.
After her studies, she would normally take a nap on his lap as he gently rubbed her head.
Earvin stared at the sky and thought about his past -
{ Man It has been 4 years since I came to this world, life has been quite bad I had to rummage Thrown trash for materials and food. In the orphanage some " Adults".They are basically bordering around child abuse. In Orphanage All kids want to become pirates when they grow up. Who can blame them stories of adventure, wealth, glory even I want to be one?
The only good thing happens to me is I have become a Sis-con Don't worry we are not related so it is Okay!!! (a Pervert smile).
Don't look at me look like that, she is the only reason I am still alive }.
...
As he chuckled to himself only to the sea and back to his legs which bleed internally and his stomach growl to keep him company. Thinking to himself { ENDURE IT !! ENDURE IT!!!! THINK OF AKIO SAKE !!!! BE STRONG FOR HER JUST SMILE!! SMILE, SMILE, SMILE, SMILE DAMN IT I WILL PROTECT HER. }
As he reaffirmed his will again un-noticed to him, his body turned completely black for a spilled second and releasing a small wave of his will.
