post Chapter 1079 and Episode 1112.
His crew is gone. His ship, his home, is gone. Kidd is lost at sea, set adrift both literally and figuratively. At least he's not alone.

( His head was pounding and he felt like he was going to vomit. The sun beat down on his face, the sea salt thick in the air, the waves uneasy under him. They were not violent, however, they were pitching much more than they should, and Eustass Kidd jerked awake in a panic. Nothing but the ocean met his gaze. )

Summary:

Its a light rain, warm fresh water splashing his face, the edge of a tropic storm building on the horizon. It picks at his memory, like a forgotten dream, a lullaby from the few calm points of his childhood; a point of peace where he knew he was going to die, but that was okay. He's thirteen again, and his world is ending, but it's okay, because he wasn't alone anymore.

 Corazon is standing at the front of their tiny ship, staring out at the storm with a look of worry. He was just as Law remembered him, large and imposing as equal as soft and kind.

 It was a nice dream to die in, Law supposed.

 

( The adrenaline of the night had started to catch up with them all, though the kids where flagging much faster than Corazon. Kidd and Law were both slumped back to back in the bed of the little boat, snoring softly, the use of their fruits throughout the night having finally caught up to them. Killer had nodded off not long after, still sitting upright along the boat's bench, body towering over the youngest of their little group. Victoria sat next to him on the bench, even their smaller frames only just fitting side by side. She was cradling the lantern in her lap, having turned it down so only the barest hint of light burned. In the absolute darkness of the storm outside, it still burned bright enough for the two of them to study each other under it's glow. )
