One Piece - I'm Coming Home!

At last! Finally he was there! She had hoped for it for seven long years, and today, today, she has been rewarded for her patience. At last!

She took the letter opener - a dagger that Zorro had given her for her birthday ten years ago - and ran the blade along the splice of the envelope. Very carefully and slowly. That was how long she had waited for a message. She enjoyed every single second that passed. Savored the moment when she was finally released from her uncertainty. The glue came off. The paper of the envelope spread its wing and gave the young woman a look inside. A small sheet of paper came out. It was very thin and felt like the slightest touch could tear it. She put the folded sheet of paper on the table in front of her. Stared at it. Did she really want to know what it said? What if the news was bad? Her gaze was still on the paper. Finally curiosity won and she unfolded it.Soraya, my darling!

At last!
I'm coming home!

Again and again she read the few words that were neatly written on the paper in black ink. She heard the door to the living room open. She quickly put the letter on the table. "Mom, why are you crying?" The boy who had entered the room looked at her worriedly. Soraya smiled. "Oh, it's nothing," she whispered, ruffling her son's messy hair. “Who is the letter from?” He pointed to the table. Just as he was about to pick up the paper, Soraya carefully pulled it away. “Papa.” Her voice was choked with tears and you could still hear how happy she was. How happy they had voted those few words. "Papa.", She repeated, now in a firmer voice. "Your papa, he's finally coming home."

“Ts, did you really think we couldn't get you?” Lieutenant Tacklebomb looked triumphantly into the tired faces of the Straw Hat pirates. "Uh, I have no idea ... When is there something to eat here?"Luffy poked his nose with a finger while he asked the lieutenant the question. Tacklebomb shot the blood in the face. How dare this brat! Was he making fun of?" You get nothing. Zero diet! "In anger, he turned his back on the dungeon and marched out of the prison at naval base 743. 743 was one of 51 secret naval bases. The most dangerous pirates were held here because nobody knew where the various units were and no attempts at liberation were possible be started from the outside. "Did he mean that seriously? "Luffy looked worried after Tacklebomb." But I have HUUUNGER !!! "-" SCHNAUZE! "Nami gave her captain an annoyed slap in the face. The others just shook their heads. He was worried !!!

I'm coming home! I promised you!

Six months had passed. Soraya was still waiting. How so? Why did he write her a letter when he made her wait again?The young woman brushed her long blond hair back with a gentle wave of her hand. “Are you still waiting?” She looked up, a smile playing on her lips. "Yes. I will always wait. You know that!" The boy shook his head uncomprehendingly. "You finally get it. Papa is not coming back. NEVER !!!" Slamming the door. She stayed behind. Alone with their hope and a pleading towards heaven.

"Do you think they will miss us here?" - "No idea. I don't care. We have to go. Soraya is already waiting. She has been waiting for so long. Too long."

Tears. The paper on the letter began to contract. She started up, startled. Wiped the wet stain with the sleeve of her long, vanilla-colored wool sweater. “Shit!” She sniffed. Held the letter up to the light. Puffed. Again tears made their way down her cheeks, down to her chin. They dripped silently onto the table. Formed a small pool on the old, cherry-colored wood.Soraya looked out the window one more time. The sunset bathed the sea in a beautiful orange. The water glittered and made one believe that the most beautiful diamonds must be beneath the surface. She crossed her arms on the table, put her head on them, and fell asleep. He hadn't come. How long would she have to wait?

Hm, what is that?… silence. Then the rustling of the letter the man picked up from the floor.

I'm sorry. Soraya. I am so incredibly sorry. The young woman sat up sleepily. Rubbed his eyes and looked down at the table in front of him. There was the envelope, but where was the letter? "Damn it, where is ..." She got no further. Someone wrapped his arms around her neck from behind. Kissed the back of her neck. "I'm here, my darling. I'm back home."

The volume in the garden was higher than it had been for years. They all came. They had all returned. Luffy, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Nico Robin.“Where's Zorro?” The young woman hugged her husband tenderly. "He's in town. He wants his swords to be polished again." She smiled. She finally had him again. Her husband, her lover. The only person who had ever meant anything to her in all these many years. "Sanji.", She whispered softly. He looked at her affectionately.[i]"It has hardly changed.", he thought to himself. She still wore her long, blonde hair, tied loosely with a ribbon. Her model-like figure still made him rave. She still had that innocent and seductive smile. And still the shine in her gray-blue eyes resembled that of the sea. "Huh? She pulled away from him, turned and went into the house." Hey, Ren! Come down! Sanji is back! "

Sanji swallowed. All of his hopes. All of his wishes. Everything had come true. All his pride stood before him. Ren looked at his father.His look was reproachful, almost angry. Sanji smiled. Suddenly the ten year old began to cry. He sobbed. Couldn't believe his dream had come true. “You are there!” He fell into his father's arms, crying. At last! "MY DAD IS HOME AGAIN!"
