Kin'emon could only stare around himself. Blood, salt and tears. His eyes rolled back into his mind. O'Kiku, Raizo, Momonosuke. Faces, shapes and colors fogged his memory, some more distinct than others; one more distinct than others.
-oh, Tsuru, would you look at me with shame in your eyes? Have I not stained your honor once again?
Kin'emon groaned ever so quietly that he didn't even think the dust under his limp body could have heard him. He thought of the twenty years she had waited alone, the nights spent in their cold bed and the silent diners she must have shared with an empty chair.
-My flower, my Tsuru.
His breathing faded away in the rumble of the battle field, it aligned with the wind and he thought that if the gods were in his favour, they would send these thoughts to her. His flower. His Tsuru.
-You have been the solace of my life.
His lips curled into a weak smile, the orange explosions all around him made the tears on his cheeks glow in a distinguished manner. The smell of death surrounded him but she remained his only thought.

Tsuru was sat on the roof of her modest shop, she stared at the lanterns lit up in the sky from the capital, her eyes too, glowed this rich orange. She held her own hands firmly, wondering if her tight grip could be felt by her husband, wherever he was, whatever challenges he was facing, she let out a warm exhale and her hands relaxed. She felt him beside herself in an odd manner.
Open Collab - Sanji & Zoro
This illustration is an open collab with @marimoagent. This is my second time doing an open collab, so I'm still new at it, but I find it really fun and interesting.
I'm not a zosan shipper but I love their friendship. I love the fact that despite all the bickering, they care and protect each other. I've always seen Zoro as the protector of the crew. He doesn't talk too much, but he doesn't need words, only actions! Sanji trusts him to protect the others (and himself). Especially, if you've read or seen Wano arc, you know what I mean.
For this illustration, I only drew Sanji, the rest is @marimoagent's art. I wanted to draw him in his Onigashima outfit. It's one of his best suit in my humble opinion. This carmine colour is so pretty. I hope you accept contribution from a Sanji & Zoro friendship lover, @marimoagent :). (Also, your Zoro wearing Sanji's kimono is SOOO handsome! It suits him very well) Thank you for this open collab <3
