A/N: Hello, everyone! I'm new in the fanfiction's world and this is my first one. In addition, english isn't my first language, so I'm working hard to don't make any mistakes, but I'm human too... Then sorry if you find something wrong.
Also, I started to write this fic before the Dressrosa's end (manga), so if you are reading this after the end of this Saga and it didn't finish in the same way I wrote, just ignore and keep reading XD
Disclaimer: One Piece and its characters belong to Oda-sensei, not me.
Enjoy! ^^
Chapter 1: My void.
Finally, It's over. Despite the fact that it had already passed few days since Doflamingo was defeated, those words were still echoing in my mind. I was supposed to be happy and partying with Mugiwara-ya and his crew, they were having a big banquet to commemorate the end of the war in Dressrosa, after all. But all the happiness that I felt when I saw the Torikago disappearing suddenly became a huge void. Something was missing.
Cora-san… I would give anything just to know if you are feeling happy now that your brother was stopped. It was your wish, right? I did all what I did just to fulfill your wish, right? I did everything for you… right?
After a big sigh, I put my head between my knees and my hands in my nape. I know that this wasn't true at all. I really wanted to stop Doflamingo for Cora-san, but what I wanted the most was my own revenge. Maybe it's true what they say.. that the only thing that you gain after being successful on a revenge is just a void.
But it doesn't really matter now, because it's over and nothing will change that.
"Oi, Tral, how much time do you plan to spend here alone? Come on, we are having a great time at the party!" I was so concentrated in my thoughts that I didn't see that Mugiwara-ya was already in front of me.
"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. Can you leave me alone?"
"Aren't you a doctor? You can cure yourself right now, can't you? Come on, let's celebrate!"
"Listen, I'm not really in the mood. Leave me alone, Mugiwara-ya."
"Stop being so selfish! What's the matter?"
"You are the one being selfish, stupid. And we are no longer an alliance, you don't need to worry about me anymore."
"But we are friends."
"I'm not your..."
"Understood!" He said this putting his straw hat on my head "I know that there are some diseases that no doctor can cure." A huge grin appeared on his face and he started to laugh. "I'm going to return to the party before the food ends. If you don't have any intention of coming, at least go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a new day."
I couldn't say nothing. For the first time I could see Mugiwara-ya being… I don't know, maybe not-that-stupid? Anyway, I was alone with my own thoughts again and after some minutes just staring at the empty floor I decided to do as the Mugiwara-ya said: go to sleep. I got up from the chair and lay down on my bed after leaving the straw hat at the small corner table.
"Cora-san" I started to thinking out loud without noticing "I would give anything… anything to change what happened that day. To be me instead of you. I was the one who should have died, not you. Why did you protect me? You know, that time I was really prepared to die. Why did you change everything? That's not fair. You made me happy, you saved me, you stayed by my side when no one wanted to. Why you had to show up in my life if at the end you would die? Why.. Why you leave me alone!?"
I punched the wall. I really didn't know if that feel was angry or just.. sadness. All that I knew is that I was really in need of a good night's sleep. At the time I closed my eyes I could feel the sleep coming rapidly and consuming me. Probably I was just really tired. Probably…
