A Lovecraft-inspired One Piece fanfic steeped in darkness and grit—a narrative woven from raw emotion and madness, not meant for those with fragile hearts. For too long, regret has consumed me utterly. Every choice leaves scars. Every mistake compounds the weight. My past bleeds relentlessly into my present. The path I walk fills me with disgust. The future stretches before me, uncertain and tainted. This changes now. I refuse to drown in it any longer. Yet the truth remains harsh—I cannot truly escape. Like a flame in infinite darkness—fragile, ephemeral, extinguished with the gentlest breath. Regret has bound me, pressed me down, demanded I scale the wall of greatness. I continue forward. This is all I possess. All I could ever want.
