Ace POV

"I was never sent away from here." Lily says, we look at her, something is bothering her. "I've lived here since 10 months after the war ended." She says, when she mentioned the war, she squeezed her eyes shut, and shook her head.

I look at Luffy, "One-san, are you alright?" Luffy asks, she looks at him, and grins. "Yep!" She says, Lily, I know that the smile is fake.

Lily POV

I close my eyes, 'Kari's dead body appears in my vision, I bite my lip. She died just like my mom did, and reawakened my trauma from that night, I clench my fist.

-Flashback

I open my eyes, "Where is my one-san?" I ask, flashes of her dead body appear in my mind. It then flashes between her body and my mom's body, I scream out, and teleport out of the ship. It keeps flashing between the two.

I hit my head against a boulder, "Get out! Get out!! GET OUT!!" I exclaim, and keep hitting my head against the boulder. I can feel the tears start to flow, I pull on my hair, trying to get it out of my head.

My mind flashes to her body falling, I hit my head against the ground, "Leave! Leave!! LEAVE!!!" I shout. I cry while facing the ground, "Aneko..." I say, I grip the ground. "ANEKO!!" I scream upwards, 'Kari's smiling face as she dies appears in my head.

-Flashback ends

I look up, and notice that I unconsciously froze time, I let the tears fall.

Luffy POV

I watch as my big sister just cries, she was gripping her shoulders, Ace and I look at each other. We always knew that 'Kari and her were close, 'Kari's death traumatized all of us, but it seems to traumatized Lil more than anyone.

I go over to her, and hug her, I can feel her freeze. "This is the first time we've seen you break down Lil." Ace says, "I'd rather not talk about it." She says, Ace joins in on our sibling hug.
