Hi. This is my first work. It is based on my own imagination. If this work shares any similarity with other works that are available, it is purely coincidence.
Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece. Eiichiro Oda does.
She ran across the battlefield, ignorant to the carnage around her. Be it gun shots, clashing of blades, or pleads to spare one's life, they fall onto deaf ears. She continued to run, her Amethyst eyes searching for something along the horizon. Her black hair flailed in the wind, its ends tangled and broken. Clenched in her fist was ashes of what it seems to be a vivre card. Broken shackles gripped onto her limbs. Huge bruises are vaguely visible at her wrists and ankles. Her marine uniform was in bad shape, revealing numerous cuts and bruises. The jacket clipped onto her shoulders was ripped apart, leaving behind a jagged edge that cuts across the word "Justice". Her boots were nowhere to be found. As she ran, the rough concrete mercilessly bit at her soft soles. Her bleeding soles stained the ground, leaving behind a trail of crimson foot prints.
Her eyes fixated onto an object in a distance. Something clicked in her head and she froze. She took small steps towards the object, which turns out to be a body. She collapsed beside the body, her heart pounding in her ribcage. Her black hair fell into the ground, like a cascading black waterfall.
"Ace." She choked out.
She lifted her left hand in a feeble attempt to block out the huge hole in his chest. He must have been in so much pain yet such an ironic smile was stretched across his face. His eyes closed, as if he was just sleeping. Reality doesn't seem to sink in.
"Ace." She called out. No response.
"Ace, get up. I know, another narcoleptic strike,right?" She shook him a little. Still no response.
"Ace. Get up. This is not funny any more." Her voice shook as she spoke.
"Ace, please. Wake up." She begged. His eyes remain closed. She caressed his face gently. For the first time since she knew him, he looks so serene, so peaceful. Yet,she continued her selfishness. She spoke once more.
"Please, don't leave me alone again. Captain. "
That is the end, for now. How do you think she is related to Ace? What do you think would happen next? Please review. Thank you!
Just a short note, she is Iris, my OC. Pretty obvious. More info about her will be at my Author Page, feel free to check it out.
