It's been a week since the happening of the war. I've already started getting the hang of my new power. It's quite simple. Think of what I want it to do, and it will take shape. I'm not able to do anything complicated as of yet but growing plants from my body and my surroundings, easy.
" He's alive. Straw hat Luffy. He rang the bell 16 times. What does that mean." Kid cackles reading the paper I had just been reading. The rain pours down on us and Killer explains the meaning behind the Ox Bell.
" Sure he's a head of us in means of bounty but none of that matter right Lady. I'm not so kind as to let him do whatever he wants." He stands walking from the shelter into the rain.
" I thought the new world would be a lot more exciting that this. What with all these pussies.
" We didn't do anything to you. PLEASE JUST LET US GO BACK TO PARADISE!" The coward or a captain pleads on the ground before us. I smirk raising a single finger to my lips, quietly shushing them.
" you want to go back to paradise? To your warm comfy homes?" They continue to spout nonsense about the rough seas and unimaginable horrors of the New world. I stand beside Kid and Killer. The metals around us gather around Kid.
" If your not prepared to die, you should have never set sail!" He gathers the metal into his giant hand, just as he's done many times. I feel the branches creeping down my arms and towards them. They scream as I hang them from their wrists. Kid laughs gleefully in his own way, willing nails or iron to pin them to the wooden crucifix I'd crafted. Their blood watering my plants, turning their wood a vibrant red.
Killer wraps his arm around me as we stand behind the overjoyed Kid, as he laugh out loud proclaiming his promise to the sky, that he will beat Luffy.
" Oh! Lady your bounty went up and your pictures updated!" I hear Wire exclaim from his position near the mast. He holds up a sheet of paper and we all gather around it.
" DAMN! You beat KILLER!" He proclaims holding a hand to his head completely shocked at the numbers. 320,000,000. " Threatening an admiral will to that to you." They give me a questioning look, even Kid lends an ear to the conversation as I explain all that had happened. The crew burst out laughing repeatedly hitting me on the back. Killer begins explaining all that he had witness from afar.
" you should have seen her. She strung him up like tree lights and threatened to take his head. She walked away like it was nothing and no one even tried to stop her." He proudly stands beside me and wire picks me up lifting me to his height, " That's our lady! Just as blood thirsty as the rest of us." He starts swinging me like a child whose gotten a hold of a cat. I let them do as they please while the rest of the crew laughs. Suddenly with the second highest bounty on the ship, the lower ranks seemed to see me in a new light. Though I'm sure if it came down to a fight, Heat, Wire, and Killer would beat me easy.
I'm finally given the sheet of paper that has my picture and bounty on it. It had both a picture of me peeling the mask off of my face. How they were able to capture this photo, we'll never know but now, everyone knew who to look for. It's not much of a flattering picture. I had blood splattered on my hands and face but still you could clearly see who I was.
" That picture doesn't do you any kind of justice." Killer comments from beside me gazing down at the photo in my hand. " Well I don't really think bounties are supposed to look very nice." I tell him and he just pats my head, leaning down close to my ear.
" Your still as dense as before. All I'm trying to say is you look a lot more beautiful than that picture." He leaves without another word towards where Kid had disappeared to. I turn to Heat and Wire who look just as dumbfounded as I am, pointing to the disappearing massacre solder. They shake their heads as if they are telling me that they don't know what just happened. Heat suddenly changes the topic completely by getting a bright idea.
" You flower tree thing the opia lefua thing. Do you think it would burn it I blow fire at it?" He suddenly asks and I think for a moment. I know it's strong against magma but I'm not sure about fire. I spread my hand out and let a good size branch grow from my arm before swiftly cutting it off.
" how does that even work?!!" Wire asks more to himself than to me. " I don't really know. If it grows out of my body, it's this 'Ohi'a wood. If I grow it out of somewhere else, it's whatever grows there. If I grow something out of the ship, it would be oak cause ship is made of oak. That what I think is going on I might completely be making this up." I explain before nodding to heat and tossing the large branch as high and as far as I can off of the ship. Heat suddenly sucks in a lot of air only to release a stream of hot, burning fire at the wood. We watch as it falls. It resists the fire for a good few seconds, about 30 or 40 but they begins to burn, though much more slowly than anything that Heat has every burned.
" It really is resistant to fire." He brings a hand to his mouth wiping away any soot that had formed. " Wonder why only that plant grows from you. Ever heard of it before?" He asks and I nod. I might have developed this plant because of the moment i was in. The story of 'Ohi'a and Lehua was something I had heard from Makino-san when I was young.
" 'Ohi'a and the Lehua flower was a story I loved as a child. It's about the goddess of fire and two people in love."
