Luffy looked towards elmrpo who was busy slamming his fist on the ground.
As all he could hear was elmepo cursing him for always overshadowing them.
"Wait that's not true it's my job to protect yo. I'm trying to make you all stronger."said luffy.
Elmepo raised his head wondering why luffy would say that so spontaneously.
Liffy was then transported to a scene where he saw zoro's body layed out on the ground.
Standing above him was a shadowyfigure wearing a cape."zoro where am I what happened?"asked luffy.
"I'm sorry luffy my promise was meaningless sorry I couldn't keep up."said zoro as his eye's closed.
"This is you're fault you recruited the weak thinking you could have given them enough time.
To grow but you were impatient rushing
to.
The grandline thinking you could handle everything on your own."Said the figure.
"Shut up you bastard."Said luffy as a giant lightning bolt struck down from the sky.
Hitting the figure who stood unharmed."Look at them looks at what your actions caused."said the figure.
Pointing his figure all around luffy.Luffy turned his head seeing the layed out bodies of his crew mates.
Luffy rushed over to ussop who seemed to still be
alive with a few others.
"Luffy tell kaya I'm sorry.I guess all my lies about being a brave warrior caught up to me."said ussop.
"Forgive me luufy it seems even though I have grown in strength.
It wasn't enough to stand by you."said coby."No you two you both did enough.It's my fault I couldn't protect you all."Said luffy.
"Luffy even though you didn't need any of us you couldn't have chosen the strongest if the strong.
But you settled for us.I was useless unable to fight but you taught all of us.
My only regret is tgat we weren't ever able to leave you're shadow."said nami.
Sanji layed next to the body of robin who was impaled through the chest.
Sanji also lost one of his legs as a burned out cigarette layed beside him.
"Luffy you truly gave me what I wanted even though I couldn't find the all blue.
You gave me adventure and you never gave up on me no matter.How Nad my antics were."said sanji.
"Luffy I came as an enemy you didn't know my intentions but you welcomed me with open arms.
I still can't tell whether it's kindness or naivity.But after joking you their was never a dull moment."said Robin.
Elmepo was the last one as he could only look at luffy defeated.
"Thank you luffy if it wasn't for you I'd be a coward with no purpose.
Bit sorry I wasn't of much use."said elmepo."No how I trained them I made sure they were ready.
I protected them how did this happen?"asked luffy tears streaming down his face.
"Luffy they didn't need protection they needed you're trust."said the figure.
The figure then came out of the shadows as luffy reconized him instantly as kumi.
"Your overprotective nature stunted their growth you are to blame."said kumi.
"What but how? Wait no don't tell me I was always there.They never had to worry about stakes.
As I was always there I was always there for then to rely on.So when I wasn't there they couldn't adapt."said luffy.
"So what are you going to do.What are you going to change."
