So here comes the next chapter. Have fun while reading

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

It was a day like any other. The sun was shining high up in the blue sky. The sea rushed. The waves kept beating against the Flying Lamb.
Actually a day to feel good. But one of the crew didn't feel at all well. Zorro.
He stood at the Rehling and looked out over the sea. He wondered how life should go on with him. And why he was still on top of this beautiful and cruel world. Yes, he had promised something. And he would do that too. But what happened after that? How should it go on then? He had once sworn allegiance to Luffy. He had joined his gang of pirates to keep his promise. But can Luffy even use someone who just can't cope with his past? And he doesn't mean the past by Kuina. Kuina is dead and he would have to accept that. No it was a different past. A past that nobody but himself knew. He wouldn't tell anyone either. But now all his friends are sitting in the kitchen, worried about him. He was to blame for their behavior. You rack your brain and don't know what's wrong with him. What should he do? Tell you everything? No, he couldn't and didn't want to. But he also didn't want his friends, the only thing he had left in this world, to worry about him.
He had nothing left in this world except them. If he lost his friends, he would just want to die. It was they who kept him alive.
He loved his friends. Each.
Usopp, who always makes him laugh with his stories of lies.
Chopper that he always has to protect.
Sanji, with whom he keeps arguing.
Nami, who always gives him nuts.
Robin, who keeps smiling at him mysteriously.And Luffy, who always gives him courage.
Yes these are his friends. And he never wanted to lose that again.
So he stood and thought.
Steps brought him back to reality. Zorro didn't look who was just coming. But when the person stood next to him, he saw that it was Luffy who was now looking out over the sea just like him. Nothing happened for a while. Both only looked into the endless expanse of the sea. Until Luffy turned his head to him and smiled.
,, You know Zorro, traveling and experiencing adventure is something very special. Most of all when you experience this with your friends. Do not you think so? "he asked, still smiling.
Zorro was still looking at the sea and just nodded.
What should he say now? He didn't know, and so it was probably best not to distract his face from the sea.
Now Luffy looked straight ahead again. It was quiet again for a while. Only the seagulls could be heard and the sound of the waves. Zorro couldn't go on. He didn't know what to do next. He hadn't cried in ten years. He hadn't cried with any injury he'd ever had. And now that he was just standing there looking at the sea, tears came and flowed down his cheeks. He just couldn't hold her back anymore.
He was too afraid of the future.
Luffy now looked completely puzzled at his deputy. It was the first time that he saw Zorro cry. He put a hand on the shoulder of his deputy.
"You know Zorro, sometimes it helps to cry after all," he said very softly, so that you could almost say it as a whisper.
Tears still ran down Zorro's face. He just couldn't stop.
Now Luffy took his hand from his shoulder and wanted to go.
"WAIT" came from Zorro who slowly calmed down.
Luffy stopped but didn't turn around.
,,I am sorry"
,,You do not have to be sorry. Everyone has to cry once in a lifetime, "said Luffy, pulling his straw hat a little lower.,,I do not mean that. I mean that you're just worried about me, I'm sorry. That you're worried about me, about something I can't tell you. That you only have problems with me. that I do almost nothing else during the day than sleeping, drinking and exercising. I'm just sorry for all of this. ", Zorro sobbed.
