I live online at sea

He came, briefly as dew

"You are the first beloved of heaven, the twin brother of the morning light, you drifted down from the spring of the world of life, and finally anchored on my heart. As I gazed at your face, a sense of mystery seized me: belong to the world You of all things are now mine."

------- Tagore

【Lu Jiu】

I am always afraid that I will lose you.

At night, in the courtyard, I sit on a cool chair.There are stars in the sky.I'll talk to the stars, and then I'll talk to you.There is no one around me, no one knows your existence except me, you are my secret, the flower I wear on my temples, the cloud I dream of at night, the wind I try to hold.You are everything in the world, the morning bell and evening drum.

I love you so much.I long for you to feel all my love, you live in my life, and I water you with my life.You are so weakly curled up in my belly, when I touch you gently, you will bring me an echo with the breeze and bright moon.I love you so much.

It's not time yet, and I can't let you come into this world, but I know that you can feel everything I feel.You have all my love, you are still so weak, but you already have the power to dominate my soul.In my endless imagination, I have walked a long way with you.

In the beginning you were a little squishy child, I kissed your little cheeks and brought you toys made of wind and clouds and birds and trees.I hum a lullaby for you, and you climb over my curled legs to pick the stars.Maybe you love candy, or like a little pirate, you can't let go of barbecue.But you will definitely grow up healthy.

The bigger you grow, the more handsome you will be for boys, and the more beautiful you will be for girls.When I kiss your little cheek again, you shy away, and you call me "Mom." How can I be happy when I hear that call?I must imprint this kiss firmly on your cheek, and you are not allowed to resist your mother.

One day in the future, you may also go to sea, and I will give you another kiss as farewell.No matter when, I will always be proud of you.I don't love you for anything else, just because you are my little child, even if one day you have gray hair on your temples, if I am still alive at that time, you will still be my little child.I love you, my child.

But I know, I can't grow up with you.But it doesn't matter, you who have come from all things in the world, I just want to go back to all things in the world.I always love you, turned into a cloud, turned into a moon, turned into a fish swimming in the sea, turned into your favorite candy.You can stand on the waves and call to me.You must know that I love you.In this world, I love you deeply.

My Ace.So you are Ace, my little boy.You must grow up happily.I'm going to be the wave that pushes you forward and hears you laugh.No one knows I exist except you.I am your secret.

"I've lived longer than you, that's enough, enough for me to miss you in the distance."

------ Szymborska

【Dadan】

It is said that the disaster will last for thousands of years.I originally thought that you three bastards who eat and drink in my house don't say that you can live a thousand years and 800 years, at least a hundred years is not a problem.But fate is as unpredictable and terrifying as the king of the sea at the doorstep, and the timing of Cap's visit.

The first kid, Sabo, was still a child when he left, and suddenly one day, he never came back.It's fine if he doesn't come back, I wasn't sad at all, but I was sad for a while when I found out that he was still alive.How could this little evil in the world survive for so long?

And you, unlike Sabo and Luffy, you were brought up by your mother through hard work (?)!I don't know how much energy I spent on you, but you promised me in private when you went to sea that you would share half of the treasures in the future with me.But you have been away for so many years, and you didn't even bring me a fish back. You only let that kid Lu Fei send me a word.

Who wants to hear your thanks?It's awful.

It's fine if you don't want to come back, the three of you are making such a fuss, I'm happy to be quiet without you, raising a child is the most troublesome thing in the world.When I was young, I always had to worry about it, so don’t think about it too much, I don’t care about you, I’m just worried that you’ve committed too many crimes, what if you get implicated in Windmill Village?I'm just a bandit, and I still have to live.

I think I can live for a long time in Fengche Village. The sea is too vast. I never thought about going out, but sometimes it is interesting to look through your adventurous newspapers.But Ace, you have to work harder. I haven't seen any news about you for a long time.

"Everything is buried in the memory of you: the splendor of honor, the shadow of exile, the clarity of beautiful thoughts, the madness of visions of vengeance and ruthlessness."

【Marco】

Through layers of water mist stirred up by the battle, I saw you for the first time standing on the edge of the boat, and fell to the ground in a mess, covered in dust.Seeing us coming, struggling to get up and continue to fight, although it's a bit ridiculous to be childish, but I'm sure, Dad must like you very much.

Haha, to tell you the truth, many years ago, when my father brought me on board, he also tossed me hard for a while.But in the end, none of us could say no to Dad, because I know we're the same kind of people.The first time I saw you, I confirmed that you are the same as our brothers on this ship.

You are the youngest brother on our boat, and everyone loves to give way to you.But don't think that no one noticed that you sneaked into the kitchen to eat snacks while the fourth team was shopping, and don't think that Joz didn't know that it was you who painted his beard on his face.You are our younger brother, it is only natural to take care of you.

One seagull flew to another seagull in the sky.The waves pushed the Moby Dick forward.The sea wets your shoes sitting on the side of the boat.

That childish question of yours went all over the ship.What does that answer mean to you?

Adults know that empathy doesn't exist, but we're brothers, and the whole Moby Dick is your brother.You have the best relationship with Thatch, and of course you get caught by him the most, Ace, and sometimes I wonder what your stomach is made of.However, that's not the point.We want you to know that Moby Dick is a place you can rely on.

Those little secrets about your life experience are nothing to us vicious pirates.You have to know that Dad prefers you the most.Of course, you are the youngest brother, always burning yourself like a flame, you deserve all of us.Even if you don't want to admit it.Still a child.Talking in my sleep at night will also call my mother.I heard it when I passed by your door when I was on duty at night.

I found out later that you, like me, have never seen your mother.But I have seen you being tricked and drunk by Yizang and the others, pulling Saqifei to point to the moon in the sky and saying that is your mother.Vista stood aside and laughed for a long time, calling you childish.But when you sobered up the next day, no one mentioned it.

The waves crashed against the shore.

Later, Sage, you and Dad left us one after another.Pirates always face separation.You have found the answer you have been looking for.We should be happy for you.

I will engrave your names on the tombstone, in the most decent font.Names are always entrusted with many meanings, engrave your name on it, and someone who passes by will read it again.The name enshrines thoughts.You and Dad will know from afar: There are still people who remember you, and there are still many people in the world who stop for you.

I was left alone on this island.There will be wind at night.

Maybe in the future I will also talk in my dreams of going back to the past.For a big pirate, this is somewhat naive and difficult to tell, I can't tell others, it will become my secret.In the beautiful and lively dream, I will temporarily forget the neat font on the tombstone, meet again the old man who secretly drank, and you who slipped into the kitchen and was caught by Sage, our friends who are scattered all over the world will also come back, and those A drifting Moby Dick.We will reopen the banquet.

You might point to the wave that pushes us again after a drunk and say, "Look! That's my mom!"

I promise you, Vista will never laugh at you again this time.
