Goodbye, my baby...

Couple weeks pasted since the battle of  Marineford.. Since Ace had died, along with Whitebeard. Ever since then I have been depressed and lost to many energy to feel something... I feel numb, no emotions inside. I have no clue where Luffy may be, but I knew he was safe with Jinbe. My poor baby was left traumatized when he witnessed his brother die before his very eyes...

I've been mourning Ace's death, crying every night while looking at the night sky, blaming myself for everything. Shanks would be by my side, help by calming me down as I struggle to breathe sometimes. Talking and telling me everything will be okay... But it makes me sob even more. My abilities sometimes take over my body, sending blades of water around the room, sometimes out throughout the ship. Also when sobbing the ship starts to shaking, then a tsunami passes through which we easily pass by it, with the help of a coating. But the abilities seem to be getting stronger ever since Marineford. And cause of that Marines raised my bounty way too high, me being the number 1 wanted pirate around the world.

*PRESENT*

I sit on a box crate, outside on the deck, an elbow on the railing as I lean my chin on my palm. I look out at the ocean, the wind breezing on my skin, birds chirping and waves clash. We have arrived on an island in the new world, where we'll be burying Ace and Whitebeard.. Everyone runs around the ship, getting prepared for the burial. More ships dock on the island. The Whitebeard crew..

*I'll have to tell Marco sorry for his losses...* I sadly think. I was snapped out of my thoughts, when a hand touches mine.

"Love, you okay?" I hear from behind me. I lean back, my back against the person's chest.

"Yeah.." I quietly answer.

"We're done.. We're just waiting for you." He whispers in my ear.

"Let me just get something, then we'll start." I slowly turn around the face my husband. We stare into each other's eyes, he nods. I give him a sweet kiss, then get off the crate heading for our room. I enter the empty room and walk over to the desk, where a vase of flowers stands. Three singular flowers, I simply pick up the orange Dahlia.

*The flower Ace had gave me when we first met..* Thinking about the memory, brings tears in my eyes. I quickly wipe them away, then head on out. I see everyone waiting quietly and patiently, their attention turns to me. I send them all a small smile then make my way to the front, along side Shanks and Marco. I place the flower behind my ear then I go and hold Shanks hand. I look at Marco then hold out my hand to him. He looks at my hand then at me, I give him a small smile and he returns it, then grab ahold on my hand. All three of us start walking, leading the other pirates up a hill.

Once we reached the top of the hill, we make way for the others that carry the bodies of Ace and Whitebeard. There two dugouts holes for each of them, which they are placed gently inside. Everyone stands aside, looking at me for a move. Slowly, I make my way to Ace's dugout, where I see him laying lifeless, pale with his freckle smile on. I try my best not to cry in front of everyone. I simply grab the orange Dahlia behind my ear and hold it to my lips, placing a sweet and loving kiss as a tear falls down my cheek. I hold out my arm and slowly let go of the flower, watching it as it gently falls and lands on his chest. I step aside for a group of pirates to place the dirt, covering Ace inside the ground. Then another group places a grave stone above, with Aces name. Then different pirates come up and places different types of objects on his grave stone. I was given his orange hat he would always wear, me being the last person to place a thing. I place it on top of a stick, then stand in front of the grave.

As time passes by, one by one the pirates depart from the hill back to the ships waiting to leave the island. I stand close to the graves, the wind breezing in the air. I'm the last person by the graves, quietly looking down at the stone. I pull out something from my pocket, and hold it in front of my face. It was a picture of all 4 of us, long ago. When Luffy, Sabo and Ace were just little boys..
