2 One man's trash is another man's treasure.
-- North Blue
Somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
A a ship with grandiose design having four masts and an insignia on the frontal sail was moving slowly with in the currents.The insignia was of a dark blue dot surrounded by similar dots on its four sides, the four dots were connected to the center dots with similiar coloured lines.(World government Logo.)
*Bam*
*Bam*
*Bam*
On the ship a man wearing bubble shaped helmet and a white suit was kicking what seemed to boy in a ragged clothing at a slow and rhythmic pace.
"What a useless slave."
*Bam*
*Huff*
The man seemed to have to become tired after so much kicking so he stopped to take breath. The man yelled in tired and annoying voice.
"What a low quality slave, why can't he function properly for even a few months.Who was the idiot that bought this useless slave in the first place."
.
*silence"
.
He glared at the man wearing a white short sleeved shirt with a blue cloth tied around his neck and a baseball cap that said MARINE on its front, asking him to speak.
The unfortunate man stuttered but had had to speak up due to the intense glare on him.
"S- Saint sama picked him up from a nearby island with his family. But his family is already dead from the tort-"
*Bang*
*Thud*
The body of the man fell on the deck with a bloody hole in his head.
The said saint held a gun in his hand with smoke coming out from its barrel.
"Ufff! How dare you talk about me with that filthy mortal mouth of yours. Throw both the trash out." The man said with a scrunched nose and walked away sitting on another one of his slave.
*splash*
The ship sailed away as the two bodies were thrown in the ocean by some marines.
---------
On a tattered raft not too far away from where the ship had sailed through, a little boy around the age of 8 was trying his best to catch some fish.
As he noticed something falling from the ship his eyes shined in anticipation as stars shined in his otherwise gloomy looking eyes. He put all the force in his body as he sailed the small raft rocketing with the currents towards the trash that had fallen from the big and grandiose ship. After all one man's trash could be another man's treasure.
(poor boy didn't catch any fish today, guess he's in for a big haul today.)

I knew it would be painful, the hanging, but the last few moments were a lot more painful than I expected.
But I wonder why I can still think even after my death. There is darkness all around me, I am surrounded by a warm and fuzzy feeling, is the what hell is like? An eternity of thinking alone in the darkness, sure looks like hell anyone would go mad in this place I think.
But the warm feelings didn't last for long or so I think, there was a change and it was sudden.
The warm feelings around me suddenly disappeared and were replaced by coldness instead. I feel like I am full, with water, ..salty water, I can't breath. I feel like I am drowning.
Wait am I drowning?
*fwoosh*
I suddenly open my eyes and see water around me.
*Fuwwck*
I am drowning for real... Panic hits me as I forget why I am still alive though barely and start to splash my arms around to swim myself to the top.
*brrr*
Shit! not good, there is hardly any strength in my body, I can see it but I can't make it to the top. My lungs are also burning, looks like I swallowed too much water, shit! shit! shit! Do I have to go through this again, but this time drowning? shit! this is even worse than before .
*glurrg*
Fuck you gawwd. I manage to curse this much as I start loosing my conscious. Again.

The little boy who had come here with so much anticipation got the scare of his life as he reached there what he found was a dead marine's body bobbing up and down with the waves he was about to turn around and go back when his sharp eyes caught sight of something moving under the water, a hand.
"Another dead body?.. No. This is different, I can feel it. It's like somone is down there shouting for my help."
*swish**swish**swish*
*tightens*
*splash*
The boy didn't waste any more time he bound himself with the raft and jumped in headfirst.
-----
After a few seconds the boy popped out of the water holding on to an even smaller boy and pushed the boy and himself on the raft.
"Shit! looked like this guy swallowed too much."
He put his hands on the little ones chest and pushed, one time, two, three, four... , twenty
*pfff*
As water sprayed out like a fountain out of the unconscious boy's mouth he finally sighed in relief, after resting for a bit he pushed himself again as he moved the raft towards the little island in the distance.
