The Entire Damned Family

You laugh.

You laugh and laugh and laugh

You laugh because it annoys your superior, and that’s funny.

You laugh at the absurdity of the situation – 20 years since that disaster with the Golden Lion and someone has broken into Impel Down. Bwah!

You laugh because now both your boys are in Hell.

One condemned, the other to be killed on sight, and against all reason you want to place your bet on the younger one.

You laugh because who could have ever imagined that Luffy – simple, scrappy, smiling Luffy – would one day lead the Marines on a merry chase in their own playground?

And why didn’t you see it coming earlier?

Because you made them brothers – or they did it themselves – and there’s a love there that won’t be held back by walls and bars and chains and danger. Come Hell or high water – fire, brimstone and the end of the world, Luffy will never let anyone take Ace from the life he cherishes. You know that.

You laugh because you trained Luffy to be the best damned Marine he could be. And he’s going to be the best of a different kind.

You laugh because crying is not an option.

…I just. Wrote. Garp angst. What the hell is wrong with me!! O_O

I’m sorry Garp! I really am! Here, um…have a lollipop?

Oh, and, just in case people – who are not as insane and obsessive as I – didn’t recognize it, the title is from when Sengoku threatens to make Garp take responsibility for his entire damned family’s actions. The Subject line is from the same scene.

Oh wow, I had no idea that was even there.

It's like in chapter 550 where he waves off Tsuru's comfort with a smile

I was definitely thinking about that moment when I wrote this

I wonder if in Japanese, there's a difference in their way of talking in these two situations.

Oh! That's...a really interesting thought. I will have to ask mu lj buddies who actually speak the language ^^


I love the whole crazy Monkay(/Portgas) family and I hope we get more insight into Garp soon. &hearts

Your sentence has become canon with the arrival of chapter 556.
