[on hiatus again] 懐かしい (Natsukashii)

🏴‍☠️Chapter 16

"A year ago at Marineford! The trust of a Nakama!"

[Name]'s POV
Repairing Sunny and Planning

"I'm the one who insisted on saving that Z guy." Tony-kun apologizes, I think it's just right that you insisted that.

"A Pirate doesn't regret following their convictions." Sanji-kun says

"by the way, who are those guys? Neo-Navy? And what did they say about you, [Name]? Marineford?" Usopp-san wonders

"No matter what, we have to fight those guys and avenge Sunny" Nami-san said and look over to me

"If we defeat those guys, we'll be back to normal and [Name] too. But if we want to return back to normal, we have to gather more informations about those guys. Also, what that Z said about you, [Name]-chan. What was that about?" She continued

"that.. well.. you see, after I we reach the Sabaody Archipelago, we saw the Thousand Sunny." I started

"That's right, you did say that. You also said someone who look like a worn out robot was guarding it. Which we already confirmed, was Kuma." I'm really flattered that you remembered the things I said, Sanji-kun

"I wasn't there when you told them about that, Usopp and Brook too but you did say that you were Fire Fist Ace's younger sister and I'm satisfied with that." Zoro-kun's right, they were in the palace at that time

"is it possible that your current bounty right now was because of you going to Marineford? Then that explains why you look familiar. You were with Silvers Rayleigh and a woman in Marineford" Robin-san sure is observant. Smart and Reliable too.

"Yes, that's right. I visited the place my brother was last seen alive."

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sabaody Archipelago

This is the Thousand Sunny. The ship that carries the Strawhat Pirates.

"Your uncle's Rayleigh, right?" Kasumi-chan asked beside me

"not by blood though but yes, I call him uncle. He sailed with my father after all. I'm planning on asking him for help so that I can reach Fishman Island." I answered

"I don't get you at all. I thought you wanted to meet the Strawhats? You can meet them here. I'm very sure those guys are alive." Kasumi-chan, meeting them at Fishman would be cooler

"yea, they're alive. the 3D2Y tattoo explained that. So before they come to Fishman island next year, I want to visit Marineford first." I said smiling

"You're insane." She just said while face palming

We then tried to find Rayleigh then. Oh and did I said that I'm planning on learning Haki? Yea, I'll make Rayleigh-san teach me Haki.

and so, we did find Rayleigh-san. It took a week since he actually was training Strawhat Luffy. I didn't ask about him to Rayleigh-san because I wanted to get to know him myself.

After we found him, I told him about the things I wanted to do. So we hijacked a warship and boom, we're here on Marineford. Easy if you're with Silvers Rayleigh but if you're not then that's suicide.

The Marineford is okay. It was like a war never happened, but that was just the place. No one would ever forget that war.

Rayleigh's POV
Marineford with Gol D. [Name] and her friend, Kasumi

"Now that you're here, what do you wanna do?" I ask the girl besides me who's eyes are almost watering

"I wanna go.. there." She said. She wants to go to the exact place where her brother was killed and I didn't stop her. Luffy did the same anyway, except [Name] didn't bring anything. And if the marines find us then we'll just have to escape.

The said girl then went to that place. Her voice was low but it's still audible enough for me to hear the next words she'll say

"Nii-chan.. Ace.. Portgas D. Ace.. I thought you promise me to stay alive? I thought you wouldn't follow Sabo-nii yet? I thought you'd see me sail and go on Adventures? I'm sorry that I'm saying this right now, I know that you're a Pirate and you chose this path but I can't just help it. I wish you'd see me, I wish you'd see how I managed to reach Skypiea and get back down. I wish you'd see my adventures and how strong I've become since the last time you saw me. I wish.. I'm wishing a lot of things, aren't I? hahaha.." She gave a pained laugh and continued

"okay.. I'll stop with the wishes. I just want you to know about my current status now. Ace-nii, I got myself a bounty of 60,000,000beli! I managed to get that bounty with just my skills in fighting. I actually think I'm stronger than you now, joke. I didn't ate a devil fruit yet but if I'm gonna eat one, I want your devil fruit." She pauses and proceeds to wipe her tears yet her tears just doesn't come to a stop, instead it falls more. more and more tears.

"I.. I want to beat up that Akainu, nii-chan. he triggered your emotions—" she was unable to continue as her tears keeps on falling

"ACE! ACE! ACE! I FEEL LIKE MY HEART'S ABOUT TO BURST FROM SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW!!" I guess she can't help but to screams her frustration out

"ACE!"
