A/N: Something that came to my mind when watching my sister. Reason? Who knows.

"Go on. "
That was all the permission needed. He walked onwards on the old wooden docks toward the small village ahead of him. Behind him— he knew they were watching his retreating form. Smile all upon their faces. Happy for him being able to return to his home. Finally.
Home?
He laughed.
What is home?
He asked himself as he walked down the street, toward a specific place. His coat moving with the breeze. On his hips— shining in the sunlight, a white sword was resting, waiting for the oncoming battles.
As soon as he entered the village, people started to gather around and began to murmur to themselves about his arrival. After all, you don't see an infamous pirate of an infamous crew every day.
People around him didn't believe on their eyes. Some kids stood at the front, watching him in awe and admiration.
How ironic.
He chuckled.
But, what is home?
He returned to his first thought, ignoring the town folks and his surrounding completely. Trying to find an answer to his earlier question.
A place?
Location?
A resident?
What is home?
He wanted an answer. A real answer. Not a definition. Not a reference. Not an experience. Not a— ARG!
There are a lot of not but there isn't an if or a satisfactory replied.
There're a lot of questions but not enough response.
He suddenly stopped. Finally reaching his destination. He stood at the front door, only staring.
What now?
How ironic. The only thing he wanted after fulfill his goal was to come back home. But that remember his question again.
What is home?
He lowered his head. His bangs covering his scarred face, deep in thought.
Home..
When suddenly, his eyes widen in acknowledge. He found it. He found the response to his question.
What is home?
He grinned, a huge one. He now knew what to do. With this new resolution found, he walked forward and opened the bar's door.
Home is...
Everyone inside gazes toward him, with mixed reaction. Some shocked, others gasped at his presence, others started to cry and others were happy, especially a certain woman. He grinned more.
"I'm Back."
Where the heart is.
