Darkness in the world

/////////

So here is the promised chapter for the day on which I did not post.

////////////

As Logan comes back to his sense he sees the crying chubby face of Shirahoshi.

She is tightly holding his body in her palm. He can feel the softness of her palm. Logan tries to get out of the hold but Shirahoshi again tightens her fist and refuses to let him out. Logan tries to make Shirahoshi stop crying but she refuses to stop crying

After trying for more than 10 mins she loses her palm grip to let Logan out of her palm.

After getting out Logan scans Shirahoshi first. Instead of her beauty, his focus went to a few of her body parts which has many Starches marks on them. After seeing them Logan's mood is further depressed. He dives into the sea to see the large tail of Shirahoshi. Then he finds some small sword cut mark on her body.

He knows that for a character like Shirahoshi these small wounds are easy to self-healing and not a big concern but for the mental age of Shirahoshi who always stay at her palace and does not even goes out. Getting these scars will definitely scare her. Logan jumped on Shirahoshi's head and starts to console her. He knows that he needs to guide her properly so that she can use her power and become one of the main characters instead of a side character.

After she calmed down she speak to Logan who is still on Shirahoshi's head and rubbed her hair with his hand.

"Mister you are the master which Bobby sama tell me about."

Logan replied after thinking.

"I am not your master but can be your friend. I heard that you want to become strong right I also want to become strong so why not we both become a friend and train to get stronger."

Logan replied with an easy-going smile.

Shirahoshi became happy after hearing Logan reply.

"Rely, you will become, my friend."

Logan nodded his head. Shirahoshi becomes cheerful. Seeing this Logan thinks to himself.

'I need to train her mentally. she needs to mature.'

At this time Logan asks her.

"Can you tell me where is Bobby?"

Shirahoshi suddenly stops smiling and speaks in a sad tone and a panicked tone.

"I do not know. Mister Bobby stays behind to protect me. We need to save him. To protect me he even sacrifices his one hand. This all happen because of me."

She has tears start coming out of her eyes. Before she cries Logan asks.

"Do he give you something other than Den Den Mushi?"

She nodded her head and took out a sealed envelope and give it to Logan. Logan fastly opens the envelope and he finds a letter. He fastly read it.

[ Hello young master, I know that most probably I will not survive so no need to try to find me.

Young master things were going according to your plans until we reach Mystoria. After coming here I found that this is a place where many pirates sell their captured mermaids and fishmen to the slave traders. Just after finding that I ran back to the ship where the mermaid princess was. There I found that many members of the pirate crew members who I come here have gathered different pirate groups to capture the princess.

I tried my best to rescue the mermaid princess. I even got success and we were able to hide in one of the caves present on the shore of Mystoria but in this rescue, I lost one hand and Even my lung got punched. I know that I cannot live for much that is why I am writing this letter and giving it to the princess. Young master, you know that your plan was super but there is one flaw which is everyone knows that I kidnapped the mermaid princess. Through me, they can reach you. It is good that I am dying. With me, the last clue about the mermaid princess kidnapping also gets erased. I do not know what your plan is and what will your future be but I am very sorry that I will not able to sever you in the future.

I wish you good luck in the future.]

Seeing the letter Logan becomes stunned. He imagines Bobby to be in some danger but he never imagines him to be dead. This shatters his whole perspective of the once-piece world. He thought that no one will die after seeing the anime but he forgets to say he ignore the always-present darkness in the one-piece world.

After reading the letter he becomes frozen and starts thinking about the knowledge of the one-piece world.

'fu. k how can Bobby die? I was the idiot that thought nobody close to me will die. How can I forget the darkness present in the one-piece world there was much information like how common and normal people were which I always think are harmless and good. These common people tried to burn Doffy's whole family alive when they learned that Doffy's family once used to be World Nobles.

How can I forget Cocoyasi village where Fishmen kill those people who are not able to provide money for safety? How can I forget Sykpiea, where saying anything bad about god will cause your death? There are many other incidents. Like how Shanks choose to stop Kaido instead of saving Ace even when he knows that ace is Luffy's brother and Roger's son. Then there is why Amazon lily only has females on it. Where do all these girls come from and how do they manage their population? Did they steal a baby girl child from a nearby village? There is also the thing about how Big mom kills thousands to eat candy or how people in Wano suffer from smiles and hunger.

Man one piece is always a world of darkness. It was I who did not think about the whole picture. I need to remember that just like Bobby I can also die at any time. I cannot be the soft person that I once used to be. I need to change myself. To become strong I need to change myself. I am not a protagonist who does not die. I always need to remember that.'
