Love In The Dark [One Piece Fan Fiction]

Chapter 13

Tears started to run down my eyes as I realized the step of time ahead my own, I was sent back to the past before I infiltrate the Marine Ford. Realization of not being able to change the future is what comes into my mind, as if it flows in a river, it was sent right into my brain to process. 

I was still flying, hiding in the clouds. I knew what was going to happen any minute, and each time I would try to infiltrate Marine Ford, I was always sent back here. 

"Ha. What a right way to fool people." I spoke with intent to be evil. "I have to do it, why don't the destiny would let me to save that young boy? Isn't it the best thing to do?" 

But each time I would try, none were success. I was always sent back. 

*Sounds of folding pages* 

"It's the damn folding pages again." I closed my eyes as I knew I'll be transported to another timeline. I could only cry in grief as if I knew that once I opened my eyes, that young boy will die. 

"A-ce" My voice became rough when I called Ace. I was sent into the battlefield, right in front of where Luffy and Ace were. "No.." I was down on my knees when I saw a pool of blood in front of me, with Luffy's unconscious body.. and.. and.. Ace dead body. "No, this can't be happening. I just regained my consciousness, why did it have to be here, of all of the timeline?!" I screamed. 

I immediately get Ace's head to lay it down my lap so I could see him better. 

"World of the Healing Nature" I uttered a spell, hoping it would heal him. I could feel the eyes of many, but I could care less. My hands glow green as I centered it on Ace's open wound. "Pluton's Barrier" I casted another spell to up a barrier which also includes Luffy's unconscious body. 

"Hang in there, Luffy. I will -" But I was cut off when I realized that my healings were not activating to Ace's body. "As if.. As if.. his soul already left his body." Are you kidding me? Why'd you give me so many powers when I can't save this young boy! I put everything I could in my palm just to save Ace, but I got nothing. I could only cry in disbelief and sorrow, looking at Luffy, I placed my palm on his body and lit it up with my healing and regeneration spell. "Come on, Luffy. Until Trafalgar Law comes." 

Shifting my eyes to Ace, my tears burst. I can't hold it anymore. I can't. Why, of all people, Why? For character development? Framed memories of me joining the war came into my mind. So, I even fought with my lover and almost killed him. 

"Ace. Luffy, will definitely go mad.. Can your soul go back?" But I got no response. 

Suddenly, a small light escapes Ace's body, then somehow revealed Ace's soul that only I could see. I roamed my eyes around, time suddenly stopped. 

"Maze-san" It's Ace's voice. He was standing in front of me with a smile of kindness. It brings so many tears into my eyes that I couldn't hold anymore. I let them flow down my face as I starred onto Ace's graceful face. "Thank you so much... for caring, for the thousand tries of saving me. You did enough."
