Chapter 4: Monkey D. Garp

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Garp,
I still don’t really know how I should call you so I just call you Garp as I
always did. I know how much it took out of you to fulfill the last wish of my
father and to look after me when my mother died. I’m grateful for everything
you have been doing for me and even doing now for me. You couldn’t do anything
against me being captured by Blackbeard and being brought to Impel Down, that
was my fault alone, so I don’t blame you for anything now and will never do.
But even if you couldn’t do anything against me being captured, you gave me
the possibility to write this letters to the persons I want, so I’m also
writing one to you. Here, in Level 6 of Impel Down, where I am sitting, the
prisoners are taken every several hours to torture as you know. Sometimes it
feels like it’s unbearable but I have never let a single cry of pain coming
over my lips, no matter how painful and how long the torture is. And even now,
when you shouldn’t do anything more for me, you are stopping the guards and
saying it’s enough when they are overdoing it. You are also lying and saying
Magellan has send you to stop the torture of the guards if they won’t listen
to you. I know it’s you who is doing that for me even if I never saw you
talking to the guards and therefore I want to thank you from the bottom of my
heart.
I know I’m not in the position of asking anything of you but still do I feel
like I have to do it. Please look after Luffy and take care of him so that he
does not do anything harsh like trying to safe me. I don’t want him to end
like me and my father. I know that you won’t accept Luffy’s and my decision
of becoming pirates but as you said some hours ago to me, Luffy and me didn’t
have a chance of becoming something else than a pirate because of our fathers
blood in our veins. But still, even if you won’t accept our decision, please
take care of Luffy because I won’t be able to do any more. And please don’t
feel responsible for anything that happened. You did your best to hide me from
the Marines and I’m grateful for it. I’m also sure that Sengoku will tell
about my father during my execution and I know that you won’t be able to do
anything against it, the Marines won’t let this triumph be taken from their
hands. After all they have finally managed to capture the Pirate King’s son.
So I won’t blame you for this either. I will just accept what happens and I
will try to die as proud as my father dif. As I have every right to be proud. I
have you, a wonderful person, who’s looked after me for so long, I have a
wonderful caring mother who died to safe me and I have a wonderful little
brother thanks to you, even if Luffy and I are not related by blood. For my
father I feel nothing, he means nothing to me because he brought me nothing but
problems. At least I feel like this. I don’t know how you feel about it, I
know that my father and you were rivals but I know nothing more. Perhaps your
rivalry went so far that you were nearly friends. But that doesn’t matter now.
I don’t and won’t blame you for anything that happened and will be happening
and I’m grateful for everything you have been doing for me until now, even
here in Impel Down. So, I think I can for one time in my life say: Thank you
grandfather for all you did for me. So once again and for the last time in my
life, because it will end soon, and I don’t think we will have the possibility
to talk again: Thank you for everything Gramps.
