Here is a fanfiction I wrote a year ago. I was inspired by Letters from Ace by Oceanwind.
I have just translated it, so don't be too harsh if you see some mistakes, please. I have not had english lessons for two years. If you know french, try reading it in the original version =)
Dear Ace,
This letter may surprise you. You certainly hadn't expected to hear from me again after our separation. I didn't think so either, still I had to write to you. I apologize for not doing so sooner.
Two months have passed since that day, since it rained for the first time in three years. Crocodile, who had stolen the rain, couldn't keep it any longer. Just after Luffy beat him, he flew high in the sky before falling right into the middle of the battle, which stopped the latter. At that time, my voice finally reached them : "please, stop fighting", I was yelling from the top of the clock tower.
But, all of that, you know it, don't you. You were there. No one saw you, almost. I think your brother wasn't even aware of your momentary return. I don't know why you came back while Alubarna was only a battlefield, however I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I regret not seeing you, I wish I could have talked to you, even though that time wasn't appropriate.
Pell told me. When we were looking for the bomb, he was shot down. If he was able to regain consciousness so quickly and come to me, it's thanks to you. He described you to me and I recognized you. I looked for your wanted poster and he identified you as his saviour. You showed him the place where I was and disappeared.
We all thought he died, at that time. I don't know how he managed to survive given that he held the bomb in his claws, yet I am glad to still have him by my side. When the bomb exploded, I was desperate. More than anything, I wanted to stop that slaughter. I was yelling until my voice broke. I couldn't care less, provided that they stopped.
Ever since that day, we've been overloaded in the palace. Despite all the losses from the war, the rain's return and the disclosure of the truth helped the people understand that my father had never betrayed them once. My return also moved them. After all, I had disappeared for two years and no one, not even my father, knew of my condition or if I was alive.
During that battle, I wondered how I had managed to become a Number Agent considering that I am so weak in comparison of the others. How arrogant I had become. I still have my weapons, if they can be called that way. I insisted in keeping them, so that to always be reminded of that part of my life which was the most dreadful but which also made me meet such fabulous persons. Your brother, his crew. And you.
I am not afraid to sign by my name, I know that this letter will not fall into wring hands. The bird which carries this message is of a special breed. Pell told me that, when he's asked to find someone, he'll search all around the world if required, without fail. So, no matter how long it takes to reach you, I know that in the end that letter will get to you.
Do not bother answering. I know you are busy looking for that Blackbeard, what's more it's only one of my whims. I hope you'll succeed. Until then, stay safe, please. I hope that our paths will cross once more someday.
Vivi.
This fanfiction will be short, as you can see : there will be a total of five chapters. Criticism is welcomed, don't hesitate to point out my mistakes =)
