What Makes A Man A Man? What makes a man a man? Is it his brutality, or is it his pride? Is it perhaps his immortality, or is it his lust for adventure? What makes a man a man, when a man can't make a man of a boy? What makes a man a man, when his destiny is ended? What does make a man a man, is a woman Johnny opened his eyes, and looked down from the chair on the stage he was sitting on. He overlooked the crowd down by the end of the stage. Non of them was cheering, or even clapping their hands. he had known in pre-hand that they wouldn't. People these days did not appreciate poetry, even in its purest form. Though he had to admit that the poem wasn't the best he had writen, but he still thought that they could at least compliment him for his work. With a sigh, he got hit by a tomato in his forehead, as he could someone screaming something in the back of the croud. He got off the the chair, and bowed before the crowd. Then he walked out of the bar, with his head held high, with pieces of rotten tomato running down his face. Once he got out, he sighed once again, and walked over to the nearest fountain he could find, and filled his hands with water before splashing it in his face. The cold water felt good on his hot skin. Open stages had never been a good ground for him, his art was a little to romantic for the common crowd of today. But he had never given up on his fellow humans, so why start now? He sighed once again, and sat down beside the fountain. He took up a piece of paper and a pen from his old jacket, and started to write on a new poem. Hopefully, this would help him earn a meal. |

But to what cost has this great victory been achieved? Great losses have been made, huge sacrifices of friends that no man but one self can understand, pain and suffering to limits beyond human imagination. Three great warriors of much honour fell on the battle field, as while true to their dreams, yet focused on their task at hand. May they, or may they not have achived their goals in life, but their voices shall be forever stuck in our hearts by beautiful song as from Angels, a song that will never die, a song that will be passed on from generation of generation of Pirates! The story of Sting the Wild, Luzu the Strong... and the truly most brightest star on the sky, the tale of Jake the Brave, who sacrificed himself for the sake of what he belived in, and for his Nakama!

Suddenly a small child tapped on Johnny's knee and said in a loud high pitched voice. "Watcha dooooooin?" |

John rised his eyes from the paper as he heard the high voice beside him. He looked at tje kid, and let a small smile play on his lips. He liked children, they always seemed to enlighten him. He turned the paper in his hand, and showed it to the child. "I'm writing a poem. I hope that I can make some money on it so that I can buy myself some food. Who are you, little one?" |

The child took the piece of paper and turned it upside down. Looking at it from every angle. of course she couldn't read but the designs on the paper looked kind of pretty. "Why?" |

Johnny giggled a little and took back the paper from the child, and placed the pen at the paper once more. "It's because I'm on travelling foot. I don't have no money, so I try to earn my living by doing what I can and love. It's as simple as that." |

The little girl was reluctant to let the paper go but after a moment did. Then she looked sad for a moment then asked again. "Why?" |

Johnny was a little stunned by another "why", but then he just laughed it off, and shrugged his shoulders. "I actually don't know why. Hah, what do you know." |

The girl took his words seriously. "I know ho to count to ten, aaand I know how to I know how to tie my shoes, aaand I know how to garrote someone with a piano wire, aaand I know how to boil water, aaand I know how to decapitate a man with a can opener, aaand I know how to hide my treasure..." And unless interrupted she would continue for quite a while all the while rocking back and forth with her hands behind her back. |

John began to laugh again when the little girl began rambling about the stuff she could do. He tried half-hearted to stop her, amused by her misunderstanding. But then he heard what she said about strangle people and beheading them, and he quickly rised to his feet, and grabbed the little girl by her shoulders. "What did you say? Who has taught you that?" |

The girl smiled widely and proudly stated, "I can count to ten! The nice man at the big house taught me. Then we went on a boat and we got separated. Are you a marine?" |

John released the girls shoulders, and rised himself of the ground, leaving the paper and pen on the ground. He had forgotten all about them now. he wanted to know more about this girl. But he had to find his answers a clever way, he did not yet know if he could trust her. "A Marine? No, I ain't a marine. QUite the opposite actually..." he finsihed in a sligthly lower voice than usual. "You said the nice man in the big house taught you to count to ten, but you got separated on sea? Don't you have any parents?" |

The girl got a dejected look on her face and shed a tear, "Oh now I have to look for another person to ass... ass... assassi... Kill. Bye Drawing mister Sorry I couldn't kill you!" She said joyfully and ran off towards the city center skipping along the way. |

John was left standing as the little girl ran away from him. The image of the single tear running down from her face was like glued upon his eyes and mind, and he couldn't let it go. But the fact still remained of what she had said. She had tried to assasinate him. How could that be possible? At her age, she couldn't even say assasinate properly, and yet she seemed to be trained in such things. And further, she lacked the ability to read. He had shown her his poem, and come to think of it, it seemed a little odd when she turned the paper upside down. And that tear.... it had appeared in her eye when he spoke of her parents. Didn't she have any? And who was this nice man in the big house? And where did she go now that she was separated from him, and her parents seemed gone? He decided that he had to find out. Without a moment of further hesitation, he ran after little girl into the crowd, but he couldn't see her. He grabbed a man by his shoulder, and quickly asked if he had seen her. The man pointed to John's right side, and he was off again. Soon he saw her, and he ran after her, trying not to let her see him. |

The little girl was stopping and talking to anyone who looked the slightest bit interesting and asking what they were doing and if they were marines. She soon had a small group of people like Johny following her but she seemed oblivious to it. |

As Johnny saw the little girl talking to numerous people on the way, he began to think again. Why did she ask them all if they were a marine? Did she need help? And if so, with what? Finding her parents maybe? But he wondered why she didn't do anything to not get them to follow her. Was she really that oblivious, or did she lure them into a trap? He couldn't know, but he was determined to follow the girl to where ever she was going. He walked up to another one of the men she has asked and who was following her. He placed his hand on his shoulder. "Hey, pardon me, but do you know who that girl is?" |
