Part 1

'Four men in uniform'

It was dark and rainy day. Four marines carried a small coffin on their shoulders, the coffin was light a little too light. Everyone in the funeral was wearing black with a few colors popping out mostly from a poppy flower

'To carry home...'

Few Marines had tears in their eyes with home down right crying and sobbing not caring who saw or heard. Why does it have to happen to an innocent child? Everyone thought of it but they have no answer

'My little soldier...'

As the four Marines comes closer the three Admirals could help but be filled with despair. Kizaru an admiral known from his bright yellow suit is now adorned with a black suit and a bright red poppy on his breast pocket

Kizaru never felt this way; atleast not in a long time. He never thought a sweet innocent girl who's always baking cookies and giving poppy flowers to everyone would die in such a cruel way

Aokiji never felt this angry in his life. Yes he experience anger before but not like this. He was angry at everyone. Angry at Marines. Angry at akainu. And angry at himself for not saving a charming and sweet girl who always gives and never except returns

Aokiji grips the frosted poppy flower at his hand, he remembers the first day he met her she was so so sweet, Full of love and life. But not anymore. Aokiji bitter said in his head while glaring at akainu

'What could she do? Should have been a rockstar'

Should could have been a rockstar. The girl already had a beautiful voice and a cute charm

'But she didn't have the money for a guitar'

The little girl asked her father for a small guitar but he just dissmissed the idea saying that it would just be a waste of time making the girl sad but nodded before walking away

'What could she do? Should have be a politician'

The girl was sighing as her private tutor went over some political subject making her instantly bored. The little girl never cared about politics but if that's want her father wants her to learn then so be it

'But she never had proper education'

The little girl was giggling was the tutor panic trying to find the girl. The said girl was hiding behind a bush in her small little garden filled with flowers and little insect and animals who keep her company besides the maids, Butler's, and other workers in the mansion

'What could she do? Should've been a mother'

It was late in the night the little girl was wondering inside the big mansion trying to find confront. The girl sigh as she wipes a few tears, the girl was visibly upset because her father is away for months. The girl huffed as she goes up and up towards the attic

The girl was banned from the attic from unknown reason by her father. The little girl curiousity got the better of her and opening the attic door. As soon as she opens the door she let out a cough as the attic was filled with dust and cobwebs but it didn't stop her

The girl looks around the room as she noticed a huge painting that was covered by a huge black piece of cloth making her interested. The girl walks towards the painting and grabbing the cloth before pulling it down gently revealing a woman with a huge smile

The girls eyes widen as she notice her father smiling then it clicks to her. It was her mother and father. She examines the painting, the woman was sitting down wearing a beautiful white dress with her hair tied in a bun with a veil behind her. Her father was surprisingly smiling wearing a white and red wedding suit and his arm around the woman shoulder

The girl couldn't help but feel saddened. Saddened that she never saw her mother. Saddened that her father never smiles. Saddened that she killed her mother

'But she never even made it to her twenties'

The four Marines reach the front of the funeral where a small hole was dug. One of the Marines bit his lip, it was koby trying not to cry but couldn't stop himself which made his friend helmeppo who just stayed unusually quiet as tears run down his long face

'What a waste'

A few Marines took off their hats and putting it to there chest and bowing there head out of respect, including akainu and Sengoku.

'Army dreamers'

"Any last words?" Sengoku ask his voice loud and clear but no one cares to speak; most Marines were glancing at akainu.

'Oh what a waste of'

Sengoku just sigh as he signals the four Marines to lower down the small coffin. The Marines then slowly lowers the coffin as a lot of people throws poppy flowers as they back away

The coffin was now officially lowered down and the Marines starts shoveling the dirt back as people more and more disaapear.

An hour pass as akainu was the only one left. He was staring down at the headstone

'[Name]

In golden fields, a child's laughter rang,

Life's vibrant song, forever she sang.

But fate's cruel twist took her away,

Leaving memories that forever stay.

A beloved friend and daughter'

Tears run down akainu- no sakazuki face as he falls to his knees and gripping the soft grass. The headstone staring back, the headstone as fillwed with Plushies, toys, sweets, candles, flowers and cards

'Army dreamers'

As sakazuki starts speaking saying all the things he wants to do and experience with her and never able to do. Telling her all his flaws and what he failed to do and what he should have done.

A few hours pass as sakazuki reluctantly left as it was getting dark, promising his daughter to return the very next day. He gave the headstone a Pat almost like he's patting his daughter head

As he left, a shadow appear with a mischievous and evil grin with a plan

This song but when Bruce hears it he thinks about all of his kids, his sons, his daughters, even the ones who aren't his but are here because of him and it crushes him horribly

Should've been a Rockstar, but didn't have the money for a guitar (Dick should've been a star, to fly without fight)

Should've been a politician, but didn't have a proper education (Tim and Cass could've been anything else they wanted, but Tim got trapped with him and Cass didn't get to have the options before)

Should've been a father, but didn't even make it to his twenties (Jason, is the first to come to mind, but Damian died too, and so did Steph, and she also gave up a-)

Then said kids hear it and think about him

But not because they resent him, or the fact that they got into this with him, they're not thinking about themselves, they're remainded of who their father was before being Batman, why he became like that in the first place

He's the boy who should've been anything else, but couldn't

Should've been a doctor, but he didn't have the time to dream about growing into one

The original song is about war, and while i'm not an activist, maybe try to think about something serious after your read this?

I know it's not an enjoyable subject, but if you get the chance to give a boy some money, maybe not enough for a guitar, but for a piece of bread, go for it
