"You are fired." Zoro told him as he lay on the floor, unable to move anymore.
He stared at the clear sky over Enies Lobby smiling bitterly.
"There's no way for assassin like me to go back to the way before huh." Kaku whispered in reply as memories flashed over his eyes. Zoro left the room, the key in his hand.
Kaku lay there, his flashback stopped on a familiar face.
A tear fell down.

"Come on (y/n)!" your sister walked into your room, wearing a red dress. You sighed, drying your hair.
"Just go with your friend. I'm not interested for any party." You replied and your sister shrugged. She threw a dress on your bed and walked out.
You got on your bed, and started doing some sketches. You like drawing. The walls of your room are filled with your drawing. That time when Water 7 got into a huge flood, the Puffing Tom, the station, your sister's portrait and your family.
You stared at the blank page, trying to search for an inspiration for a new drawing, when you heard a loud boom of the firecrackers.
You looked at the clock and sighed. Its starting.
The party of Galey-La company. Every year, they will have a party and they will gather the citizens of Water 7. Conveniently, the head of the company, Iceburg is also the Mayor of the city.
You lay on the bed, knowing that you are out of idea. The noise from Dock 1 is not helping either. As you lay, your hand felt fabric next to you and you sat up, looking at the dress that your sister threw in just now.
Its (f/c) in color, and it is less revealing than what your sister wore. a simple plain dress, long-sleeved and the collar is higher than ordinary dress too. Your mum must be the one who bought this for you.
You thought for a while, seeing the sky getting dark and the noises become louder and you sighed. Taking off your pajamas, you put the dress on, and it fits you perfectly. The dress was ankle length and you wore flats and tied your hair up on the nape of your neck.
You walked out of the empty house, holding a bulky bag with you, and walked towards Dock 1. There were people everywhere, as you reached the huge gate. Usually, the gate is closed, only workers of Galey-La company are able to enter (or open) through the door.But tonight for once, like the last 4 years, the door is open for everyone.
You never attended the party before. Usually you have something to do, and your sister will not be interested in joining the party so you will just stay at home, gladly baby sitting your sister.
But this year, your sister decided to came to the party when she found out that the worker of the Galey-La,as she puts it " Hunky and very dependable men". Tsk.
You walked on the yard, and surprised to see the crowd all cheering, the music played very loud and once in a while the firecracker went off.
At the other end of the yard, you could see people watching a performance on stage, food stalls, giving away Mizu-Mizu food for free, and the children playing around the crowd.
You felt uncomfortable with all the noises and the people and you looked around, trying to find your sister, in vain. You can't even see your mother in the crowd.
You gave up and went on one side of the yard, where a ship, which only needs painting, was standing. You looked around, before climbing the rope ladder, tugging the skirt of your dress to your knee. When you managed to get to the deck of the ship, you sighed, wiping the sweat on your forehead and looked at the view in front of you.
