————————————————————-

It had been three days since the disappearance of Luffy and his friends. I have been staying with Shakky and Rayleigh since then. Rayleigh finished the coating of the ship yesterday, which is now ready and waiting for the crew. I knew everyone had a Vivre card that leads to Rayleigh, they will all come back. But I don't know how far away they are from Sabaody Archipelago.

Now I sit on a stool, playing with the wedding ring Shanks gave me. I was all alone, Rayleigh having gone to a casino. Hachi, Camie and Pappag gone to the ocean to get energy. And Shakky in the back cooking for dinner. I was too consume by my thoughts, that I didn't hear someone enter.

"Aletta?" Someone touches my shoulder, bringing me back to reality. I turn to see Rayleigh.

"Oh, hello Ray. What's going on?" I ask. He goes silent as he takes a seat next to me, he looks at me with sadden eyes. "What happened?" I say as I turn to him. He then places a newspaper in front of me. Slowly , I look at it, then look back at him. He then nods at the paper. Slowly, I reach for it, taking it gently with my hands. My eyes scan through the pictures and words, but my eye stops at a certain young boy, with a title... "Portgas D. Ace Execution Date. A week from today." My eye grow wide, my breath slowing down as my hands start to shake. Rayleigh takes a hold of my hand.

"Breath Etta..." He says, trying to calm me down. I look around the bar, my vision starts to get blurry.

"I-I... need air.." I say as I run out of the bar and head onto the beach. I fall on my knees, tears streaming down my face.

"Oh, Ace... My baby..." I say as I stare out at the ocean. I close my eyes, a memory building up in my mind...

*FLASHBACK*

The Red-Haired Pirates arrive at the Foosha Village. We dock at the harbor, and everyone heads off the ship.

"We need supplies for next island. It'll take us 2 weeks to get there." I say as me and Shanks walk off the ship hand in hand.

"We'll get it at a bar, love" Shanks says as he leads me to the village. Everyone looking at us, mouth and eyes wide open.

"You guys go ahead to the bar, I'll go collect flowers for the ship in the forest." I say as I stop walking.

"You want me to come with you?" Shanks asks. I simply nod a no.

"I have Mambo to help me. I'll meet you in the bar. Bye love" I say as I give him a peck. Both me and Mambo make our way up the hill, towards the forest. Tall trees, covered in roots and vines. Rocks everywhere along with grass. As walking through, I collect beautiful flowers along the way making a bouquet. But as I was about to pick a flower, something rustles in a bush from the side. I stand up cautiously making my way to the bush, opening it revealing three little boys, two of them fighting and one watching. They all turn to look at me.

"Now she saw us. Great going, Luffy." A little boy with raven haired and freckles says angrily.

"You attacked me!" The baby says, which must be Luffy, yells. I simply laugh, all of them looking at me.

"I'll just pretend I didn't see anything" I say as I pull away, walking to collect the flower.

"Who are you, lady?" The young boy with top hat, along with goggles, missing tooth and yellow hair.

"My name is Aletta. Nice to meet you boys." I say a smile. Mambo then slithers with flowers.

"Wow! Is that a snake?" The boy yells with a bright smile, and sparkles in his eyes.

"Yep! This is Mambo." I say as I take Mambo, wrapping him around my arm.

"I'm Luffy!" The baby boy with black hair, says with the big smile. 

"At least one of you knows your manners." I say as I look at Luffy. I continue to collect flowers.

"What are you doing, Aletta?" Luffy questions as he watches me.

"Collecting flowers for my ship."

"Your a pirate captain?!" All three yell in unison.

"No but my husband is." I smile. "Want to help me pick flowers?" Luffy nods in excitement.

"What about you two?" I question as I look at the little boys. They both nod a 'no'. I sit on a rock, watching over the flowers in hand. I hear Luffy's tiny feet run towards me.

"Aletta! Here are some flowers!" Luffy happily says as he holds a yellow Daffodil, in front of me.

"It's beautiful, Luffy! Thank you!" I say with the huge smile. I grabbed the flower out of his tiny hands and separate it from my pile. I then give a kiss on his cheek, which he gives me a cheeky smile. Then I hear running come in front of us. I look up and see the two boys each holding flowers in front of me. The freckle boy holds an orange Dahlia, and the other boy holds a camellia, I simply smile. "Gorgeous flowers, sweeties. Definitely putting them on the ship" I say, with a smile, as I grab their flower. "So what's your names?" I asks the two.

"Sabo!" The boy with the hat says.

"Ace!" The raven haired, boy says. His face reminds me of someone from long ago. "As in Portgas D. Ace?" I question. He slowly nods. "Oh you look like your mother... you have her freckles" I say as I cup his face. His face grows shock.

"You knew my mother?" He questions.

"We were best friends, long ago. Oh how she smiled with her freckles." I smile as I remember her face perfectly. "But now I can see her smile again." I say as I place the flowers on the ground. "I made a promise to her the last time I seen her... that I'll come and take care of you... to protect until my last breath.." I say as I grab a flower and place it behind his ear. "To be a mother..." I push a strand of his hair behind his ear. "I'll take care of you, Ace... I'll show you love and happiness..." I look into his eyes. They show saddness, tears streaming down. He quickly wipes them with his arm.

"I want you to be my mother, Aletta!" Luffy yells as he raises his hand.

"Me too!" Sabo adds as he also raises his hand.

"Shut it! She was talking to me!" Ace yells at them. I break into a laugh.

"All three of you are my sons. My boys." I say as they all stand in front of me. I wrap them in a hug, having Luffy's arm around my shoulder and Sabo's arm on my other shoulder. Mambo wrapped around my neck, joining in on the hug. I lean my chin on their heads with a smile...

*PRESENT*

I open my eyes, seeing the sun meet the ocean. Sunset. Tears stains my cheeks, the wind blowing through my white hair. Mambo places his head on my shoulder.

"Aletta..?" I hear from behind. I didn't move a muscle, I continue looking out at the horizon.

"They're gonna kill my baby..."I quietly say.

"They'll probably not gonna be able too... He's part of Whitebeards. Knowing him, he'll show up to rescue him. There's gonna be a war." Rayleigh says as he continues to stand behind me.

"And I'm gonna be there" I blankly state.

"It'll be a big war. Warlords and Admirals will be there. It'll be the biggest one in history" He answers.

"Doesn't matter... As long as I'm there to rescue my son... I lost a son long ago.. I'm not gonna lose another one." I say as I look over my shoulder at Ray...
