Title: True Fools.
Media: Fic
Rating: Gen
Word count: 260
Prompt: Fools.
Character(s): Roger, various.
People cheered when they heard him die.
A morbid show for the masses.
Rouge smiled.
__
The marines were foolish in that way.
They thought to reassure the civilians and cow the pirates.
It only spurred them on and kicked off another kind of revolution.
Rayleigh laughed.
__
They cursed his name and scorned his blood.
They imagined cruelties for their revenge.
Driven on by hate fuelled by fear, bitterness and jealousy.
Whitebeard sneered.
__
The marines swore that One Piece didn’t exist.
That it was a last joke perpetrated by an anti-government element.
Shanks guffawed until he snorted and ended up choking on his beer.
__
Sengoku ranted and raved.
He dispatched soldiers and spies to all corners of the blues.
He swore to find and destroy anyone that carried the blood of a world class criminal like Roger.
Garp didn’t laugh, he just grinned from ear to ear.
__
Time passed and the traffic on the seas increased.
A new breed was born, one that didn’t believe in One Piece or dreams.
Blackbeard threw back his head and laughed.
__
“You’ll never succeed!” they cried “There’s no way you’re good enough.”
“It’s the pirate’s graveyard! You’ll never up to those monsters.”
Luffy just looked at them blankly and cocked his head. They really didn’t get anything did they?
__
The world was full of fools.
Not stupid. Wilfully ignorant.
Roger laughed at them all and pitied them for looking at the world in such a small way.
He was no fool.

Oh, and Shanks choking on his beer? That's part of my headcanon now.
