A New Heart

Goodbye

Chi's POV:
The log pose had reset and our time has ended on Nuna Island. Matsu gave me a very tearful goodbye which made me tear up.
As set sail we stood on the deck watching as the island got farther away.
I was staring out to the ocean when I heard my name being called by a familiar voice.
"CHI!"
I turned around and the Straw Hat Pirates were sailing not far from us.
I ran to the rail and waved. "Luffy!"
"Goodbye my love" Sanji called.
"Goodbye Sanji!"
"Chi! We have to meet again" Luffy called.
"Of course we will" I called back. "I look forward to it Luffy!"
"Marines!" Usopp yelled with terror.
My smile dropped and I looked behind me. A huge marine warship was coming our way.
"Run!" I yelled to the Straw Hats.
I knew this had been to easily. There was no such thing as an island without marines.
I ran inside yelling. "Law! Law!"
Law was with Bepo as he steered. "There's a marine warship coming our way."
Law looked stunned for a minute then he stood up. He grabbed his sword and I followed him as he ran up to the deck.
The warship had gotten much closer.

Law's POV:
The warship was huge. Its guns pointed right at us. How the hell had it gotten here so fast?
Stepping on to their deck was a tall man with a marines jacket hanging off his shoulder. He looked like....an admiral.
He smirked at us. "It has been a very long time Ace of Spades."
I looked back at Chi and she had a pissed off expression on her face. "Admiral Zen. What a displeasure."
"Oh no Ace. The displeasure is all mine."
"You know him?" I asked.
"Yes" she said bitterly. Her black eyes were filled with fury and her jaw was clenched. "For what this man has done I will punish him with my vengeance!"
I had never seen her so upset and angry.
She pulled out a small needle I didn't know she kept hidden, and ran it up her arm, spilling blood.
"Chi" I warned.
"Gather" she said.
Her bloods flattened to a perfect circle. She stepped on it and it had hardened. She put her hand out and it began moving.
I tried to grab her but she moved fast and was flying on a disk of her blood. "Chi!" I yelled. "Get back here!"
She was going to fight him.
She paid me no mind, flying steadily toward him.
"I'm sorry but this is one time I must defy you. I apologize and will take any punishment you hand down, but right now I must do this."
She swung her injured arm out and a shot of her blood fired at Zen. He dodged it easily.
"I WILL AVENGE CAPTAIN HOUTA!"
I gasped. This was the man to capture Captain Houta.
"Chi NO!"
She reached the deck of the warship and threw the disc she'd been standing on. He moved his head to dodge it. The two marines behind him weren't so lucky, as it chopped off their heads.
"You'll have to be better than that." He ran at her and kicked.
I felt infuriated and frustrated standing on my ship just watching. I couldn't even swim over there in an effort to help. I couldn't command the ship to go closer. I couldn't put all the men at risk.
My nails broke skin as I clenched my fist harder.
Damn you Chi. Reckless was never something I marked you as.
Feeling powerless was something I always hated.
Bepo and more of the crew came out with big eyes. "Captain?! What's going on?"
"Chi is fighting Admiral Zen, the man to capture Captain Houta" I informed them.
"Gather!" Blood rushed back to Chi and she shot out numerous tiny shots of blood. "Fire!"
Her attacks seemed to barely faze him. He looked at her almost bored. He was hiding something.
"Come on Ace! Is this all you have? Captain Houta was a fool to think you were his greatest weapon."
Chi screamed. I heard the anguish and fury. "Talk all you want Zen, the moment I hit you your death will be assured. Batter me all you wish. The more blood the better. But even if I have to use every last drop of blood inside me I WILL KILL YOU!" She held out her hand. "Gather!" A large puddle of blood came before her. "Fracture!" It broke like shards of glass and floated in the air. "Swarm!"
The shards of dark red blood began spinning and twisting, moving in every direction.

The amount of attacks she had was amazing. The warship's deck was a bloodbath. The marines that had been standing around had all been slaughtered.
Zen chuckled. "Do not think I did not notice what you were doing." He shook a finger. "How rude killing all my marines and using their blood to your advantage."
That was a smart strategy. She hadn't been missing but pretending to miss while actually hitting her targets. The marines on the side.
Chi's attacks were great but without a supply of blood other than her own she would either run out or kill herself.
She smirked. "Should I not have been so subtle and just killed them all to begin with?" she asked.
"Which ever you chose Ace. You're only tiring yourself out."
She laughed very condescendingly. "I haven't moved a muscle besides my arm. You on the other hand have been jumping around like a bunny."
"Let's change that then."
With unbelievable speed he right in front of Chi. He kicked her right in the face throwing be far and overboard.
"CHI!" I shouted.
"Gather" she said calmly. All the blood collected around her. It surrounded her in a blood bubble and then carried her back up to the deck. On the deck it turned back to a liquid.
She spit blood and then wiped her mouth.
Then he was in front of her again. He kicked.
"Harden." A wall of blood built between them. He kicked it and it shattered. Chi threw a needle and he just barely dodged it.
He stood back and frowned. "If I bring you more men to slaughter will actually give me a good fight."
I couldn't believe it. He just blatantly offered the death of his men.
"Hmmm" she hummed and pouted. "I could always use more blood."
Zen smirked as he stepped back and opened a door. Marines were huddled in there trembling.
They screamed being found.
Tentacles of blood shout out and impaled them.
Their screams were cut short.
Zen walked closer. "I'm sick of playing Ace. Fight me truly or DIE!" He ran at her.
"Ten tails!" She shouted.
Ten fox like tails rose from the ground around her. The swished angrily in front of her. Their point looking deadly sharp. He jumped kicking at her but only getting a tail. He tried this many times but only got tail.
Jumping back to stand he smirked. "Finally, this is the Ace of Spades!" He cheered. Throwing off his jacket he shouted, "SPEED OF LIGHT!"
Then he was gone.

I scanned everywhere for him.
Then in a flash he was standing were he had started. There was a hole in his stomach and blood dripping from his mouth.
"You bitch" he said with an oddly calm smirk. "You baited me. Letting me hit you so you could get one in return."
I looked to Chi and she had a sword thrusted threw her heart.
Blood was dripping out her mouth, which was just as oddly in a smirk.
"In order to achieve your goals you must be prepared to throw your life away in the process. That is the cost of our lifestyle and something I accepted a long time ago."
My heart sank inside my chest. Fucking idiot!
"How are you alive right now?" He asked.
She marked an x on the other side of her chest. "X marks the spot."
I gasped. How was her heart on the other side?
"THEN I WON'T MISS THIS TIME! SPEED OF LIGHT!" He disappeared just as before.
"CHI!" I yelled.
"Implode!" was screamed.
There was a mild boom and then blood began to rain.
Chi was falling off the side with two swords in her.
"Bepo!" I yelled.
He jumped in swimming after her.
I couldn't even jump in to save her.
I felt nauseous. If she was even alive I knew the terror of falling into the ocean. Your helpless. You sink like a rock and your body feels lifeless.
Bepo surfaced.
If the first sword had missed the second one hadn't.
"CHI!"
