Kintsugi : the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer (tree sap) dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.

Basically Luffy dealing with now two losses after Marineford by filling the cracks in his heart with the golden light of his new friends, his crew.

The lines were drawn deep over my heart,

in a way that was sure to tear me apart.

Initially so, I let the blood spill,

but the pain would continue unless it was filled.

Crying out my eyes wouldn't bring you back,

nor breaking my bones as these were the facts:

What's done is done,

it can't be reversed,

and though it hurts,

it could be much worse.

Gone were two, but in came nine more,

and we sailed the seas to learn and explore.

I had it all along, yet I let myself be blind,

to not see and treasure this wonderful find.

Great friends I had to fill the cracks,

the gold spreading bright on black.

My heart overflowing,

the winds still blowing,

my journey ongoing,

and my dream was bright.
