Guardian Spirit
Hello. Name’s Kuina. I’m dead. Yep, you heard
me right, I’m dead. So what am I doing here? Why am I not in Heaven? I chose it
that way. Why?
First, I just didn’t want to go, because I was
scared. Afraid of what I will find on the other side. And than I noticed how
much my death affected Zoro. I felt kinda touched and… well, flattered. It’s
not every day you become someone’s driving force, right? And he was a really
little kid than and quite hotheaded one. So I decided to keep my eye on him. I
mean, he could go off and hurt himself… too early. Before he would know, how to
cope with it. So I stayed as guardian spirit. I guess, you don’t get what I’m
talking about? Let me explain.
After a while, a day or two, They ask you, if
you want to go or to stay. If decide to stay, you have to chose what you’ll
become – a specter, a poltergeist, a haunting ghost, a malevolent spirit and a
guardian spirit. Easy, isn’t it?
I must say I made a good choice. Tee-hee-hee!
The kid grew out to be a hunky, buff guy. Yeah, I died a teenage girl and I
stayed a teenage spirit. So, I had a lot of fun watching him fight and even
more whenever he took a bath. What a man! I wish, I was alive…
I figured, that if I lived… Nah, I’d be a bit
too old and consider him to be the kid who used to run behind me and challenge
me every second day. Come to think of it I still do… As long as he has his
clothes on that is. Er… I’m ranting. Naked guys do that to every teenage
girl... Even a dead one. I think of Zoro like of a small brother, who just has
to get in trouble. If I didn’t keep an eye on him…
Have you ever wondered, how on earth he
manages to survive all that trouble? I don’t mean that he slashes his enemies
into ribbons, by the way. I mean, not eating a whole month and still being able
to run about… Yeah, I kept him in shape. Quite tiresome, I must say.
You see, every guardian spirit has a certain
amount of power, which he/she can use. After some time we run out of it. And
being a guardian spirit doesn’t mean you appear in flash of white light with a
flaming sword in your hand. It’s rather keeping dangerous wounds from bleeding
or making rocks fall so that they don’t hurt the person you try to keep safe. I
tell you, with Zoro around, I could never complain my li… er… unlife?…
whatever!… is dull and I have nothing to do.
That kid just had to choose the craziest
pirate to become his captain! If Zoro didn’t get into trouble every week, than
Luffy would have changed that. Right now they attract danger like a large
magnet. I was actually getting worried after he joined the straw hat-boys team.
Two guys like them can only mean fast death – if they’re lucky to others, if
not… Well, let’s say I had a bad feeling about that. And than they met Nami.
Afterwards I decided I better stop worrying – it wasn’t going to help anyway.
At least the girl had more brains and could stay out of trouble longer. But she
had to be a part of Arlongs band, hadn’t she? Now Sanji… H’m. He’s cute. Cute
as in good-looking, mind you. I wouldn’t like to be around him, he’s to woman
crazy. ‘Naaami-saaan!’ is getting on my nerves. And on Zoro’s too – same
upbringing. Oh well, at least he’s a good cook. (No, I can’t eat, but I have
one reason to worry less, when Zoro gets proper food. You have no idea how
worried I was, he’d eat something poisonous.) I guess, I like Ussop. Come on
the guy has a phallic nose! But he lies too much. I wonder why, it’s not as if
much people believed him.
So I’m going to stay here. Stay and wait for
Zoro to become the best swordfighter of the world. And when he does I’ll leave
him. Meanwhile… Oh, he’s bathing! Pardon me, a dead girl has to have some fun.
