『 Chapter 35 | Grief 』
In the East Blue, Garp had gone back to his home island to take a break from the Marines. He was just peacefully walking until—
"GARP!" An orange curly burst out of Makino's bar, whacking the old man with a piece of hard wood right on his head, "HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE?!"
"AH! Garp-san!"
"Vice Admiral!!!"
The said man bled, but he endured it and thought that he quite deserved it, "Leave her alone! I know her...—"
The curly tackled him down, tears flowing down on her face as she let go of her cracking raised voice, "YOU...! YOU WERE RIGHT THERE ON THAT BATTLEFIELD!!!" She panted, "THEY WERE RIGHT THERE! HOW COULD YOU JUST STAND THERE?!"
Her tears dripped onto the Vice Admiral's face.
"DID YOU CHOOSE DUTY OVER YOUR OWN FAMILY?!" She raised her voice as she continued to hit the old man, "HEY, GARP!!! YOU CALL YOURSELF A HERO?! JUST DROP DEAD!" Her hands started to shake, "YOU...!!! You... you let her die..." Her voice slowly faded out.
"Stop it, Dadan-san!" Makino couldn't take it anymore and interfered, "He is the one hurting the most...!!"
"Makino..." Garp looked at her.
"No..." Dadan stood up, panting as her tears continued fall down, "Luffy and Ace are the ones hurting the most!" She sniffled, "You know how much the two loved their sister..." She then eyed Garp, who's now sitting on the ground.
"Hey, Garp... what happened to the two of them? The paper said that no one knows if they're even alive..." The mayor decided to cut in.
"They... escaped on a submarine. We couldn't find any wreckage... so they must still be alive!"
"Hey, that's great!"
"But why do the bandits even care?"
"Those fools..." Dadan closed his eyes, "No matter who'll they'd become, I'll always be on their side! When I think of how the two must feel right now... it's ripping my heart into pieces..."

"I... really... really fucked up." Ace repeated for the umpteenth time, clenching his fists, letting blood seep through his hands as he did. One could mistake it for someone chanting and, it's really disturbing everyone around him, including the surgeon.
