Missy

May I see your future?

I don't own One Piece. If I did, I'd give Funkfreed a cuddle. He's a cute elephant (even if his owner is kinda shit).

"Mmm..." You grinned to yourself at the horribly bloodied figure being propped up in front of you. "That feels good."

"Do you want a turn?" Robin crooned as she finally uncrossed her arms. "It's no fun to hit something that doesn't even whimper anymore."

"Nah-" Stretching, you rolled out all the tension in your bones- "I'm fine. Sounds strange but it was so much better to see someone else lay into him like that. Felt right."

She chuckled, far more brighter than you'd ever seen her before. "Is that so? Well if that is the case I have no objections."

"Well I don't know." Mello sniffed. "I would be most willing to properly beat that horrid excuse of a human being until an inch of his life. At least I wouldn't let him procreate."

"True... but wouldn't that just be too much effort to waste on someone like him."

"Why yes... Perhaps it would."

Franky just gaped between the two of you. "You guys are scary..."

Was this... the end? The end of this saga? CP9 had been defeated. Spandam had been taken down. You and Robin were released from your various shackles? Your horrible vision that you'd had so long ago now wasn't coming to pass.

Was it really the end?

Then why did you feel so uneasy? As if there was something in the deep recesses of your mind that was screaming for your attention. Something truly horrible. And scary. And... dangerous.

"This would not be about the incoming Buster Call travelling straight for this island would it?"

A sudden blast of light billowed out on a section of the great iron fence that circled Enies Lobby, so scorchingly hot you could feel it from where you were standing.

'Ah. Right. There was that, wasn't there.'

You couldn't see them through the haze and fog, but they were there. Line upon line of Marine warships. All prepared to raze this island to the ground. It made your head spin to just think of all of them. Your heat pounded, an excess of adrenaline surging through your veins as you felt yourself get short of breath.

Fight or flight. And this was definitely flight.

Another cannonball fired. Then another. And another. And another. Until an entire barrage of iron was being shot in your direction. No, your brow furrowed, they weren't actually aimed at you. The angle was off. As if they were being aimed towards a far higher target to your right.

Your eyes grew wide.

No.

BOOM!

"USOPP!"

"Long-nose dude!"

You span just as the entire top half of the Tower of Justice, the same segment that had been sliced clean through when you had been fighting Hattori, got engulfed in a cloud of flames. The stonework crumpled, as easily as a sheet of paper, toppling backwards and into the endless void behind it.

He would be fine. He would be just fine. Wouldn't he? Wouldn't he?!

"H-hey no need to panic." Franky turned his attention once more to the transponder snail. "Oi! Are you guys okay?! Answer me!"
