The next day

Ayami's Dream 

Why? I was about to show them my ability for the first time but Khione suddenly took over and killed everyone. I was walking around while covering my mouth and nose using my hand to avoid the horrified and disgusting smell of flesh, blood and corpse that was lying around the deck. I walked in front to the place where Pops once sat down, he look weak and lifeless, his body had trails of fresh blood and his long white beard was cut in half. Marco's corpse was placed beside him, his body took a lot of beating. What's scared the shit out of me was he lost his left arm. So, that arm I saw hanging on the wall was his?! I walked back as I accidentally stepped on someone's body and fall back on my butt. 

I looked up and see Ace, he's still breathing but very weak. "A-ayami" he mumbled my name as I leaned closer to him and engulfed him in a warm hug, my tears hits his cheeks as he still smiled at me. "Don't cry, i-it wasn't y-your f-f-fault" his hands raised shakingly as it touched my cheeks. "I-i love you, Ayami my lovely Snowflake" my eyes widen but as I opened my mouth all of words were stuck in my throat. He still smiled even after leaving me, I shouted his name many times thinking it would bring him back. I got up and saw Thatch, Izo, Jozu, Fossa, Haruta, and many others. I ran up to them and shook their lifeless bodies and screamed their names in attempt to bring them back. 

My head snapped up as I heard a familiar chuckle, there stood Khione but what's in her hand frighten me the most. It was Luna's head, she was smiling. "I found my little girl guarding you even though I might end up killing her as well. Its a fun place to have another massacre, really" before I could blink my eyes she was centimeters away from me. "but its more fun seeing you die too"  I opened my mouth but all was out was blood. I cough blood and before I knew it, she tortured my body with her evil smile,

I was shouting and shouting, I wanted everyone to help but then I realized. No one wanted to help a dangerous child...

Ayami's Dream End

Ayami's eyes snapped open only to met a pair of black orbs that stared worringly into hers.

"Ayami? Thank god. You're scaring the shit out of me you know that?!" he shouted and wrapped his arms protectively around Ayami's waist. He didn't let go until he felt her body calmed down and shaking a bit. "What happened?" Ayami managed to whispered as Ace wipe away the sweats on her forehead using a towel. "You had a really bad nightmare" he whispered back at her and tighten his hold around her. "Ace" the said freckled man looked down at his lover's eyes as she looked back at him before looking at her exposed palm. 

"Snowflake" a palm size snowflake quickly formed on her hand, floating before circling them. Ace stared it in awe, never have he seen such beautiful and perfect ever in his life. It circled around them before slowly shrunk and disappeared. "That was beautiful.." Ace said as he stared at Ayami in awe. 

"Can you show that to me again?" Ayami hesitant at first but nods back as the snowflake re-appear and circled around them. 

Later

"Come on, you can do it!" one of Ace's subordinate shouted as others followed, they were cheering on Ayami who was still hesitant to show them her snow powers. Ayami looked at Luna who had smiled at her before she raise her hand in the air with her palm exposed. 

"Snow Globe" she muttered as a blueish film enveloped the ship. The crew stared in awe as palm sized snowflakes surrounds her and it multiplied while kept shining brightly and time seems to stop as Ayami's body flowed gracefully following the snowflakes rhythm. 

Ace's eyes widen and brighten as Ayami's white hair soon turned light blue slowly. "Snow Memory" she muttered as the atmosphere around them changed and they're now looking down at Lucy, Ayami's mother cradling a baby. 

"She have your hair and eyes for some reason" there stood Luna wearing something a bit exposed than her normal clothes. "Why do you have to wear that? In front of my daughter?" Lucy asked as she turned her body slightly, averting the baby's gaze from Luna's pleasant attire. 

"So, what's the kid's name's going to be?" Luna crossed her arms and waiting for Lucy's answer before the door opened slightly revealing Jackal, Lucy's husband and King of Snowflake Kingdom. "How about Yuki?" Luna groans before hitting him slightly on the head, "Idiot, that's your surname" Jackal pouted before wrapping his arms around Lucy and cuddling in the crook of her neck. 

"Ew, disgusting" Luna said as she cringe at the scene making both of them laughed at her, "Maybe you're hating this now but one day you will meet someone special to you" Lucy smiled. A young boy with raven hair and blue ocean eyes burst into the room, he tugged on Lucy's dress and smiled brightly. "How about Ayami?" his words perked the adults interest. "Ayami it is" Lucy said as the baby in her hold giggled happily sending cold wave towards them. 

They looked at each other as they faces turns into those who they feared. "D-don't tell me..." Lucy's hold around baby Ayami shaken, Jackal noticed this before picking baby Ayami up before anything bad happens. 

The scene changed and now Ayami was around 3 years old, and floating in the air as snowflakes surrounds her. Her body and hands flowed and fiddled in the air as she twirls around in the air. "Leo, are you going now?" Lucy asked the young ravenette wearing a marine outfit. "Good luck" the girl inside the blueish globe said with a smile. "Wanna meet one day, Ayami?" Leo asked as the young girl landed safely before twirling around, her eyes glittered with a smile. "Sure!" their giggles echoed the air as Lucy stared at her 2 precious children got along well. 

"There's more" the present Ayami said as the crew either blew their snots out or dramatically crying nodded.
