" Because of that imperfect result
We would be led to the same fate once again "
Prologue
She looked down from her sitting position under the shade of a large Willow Tree, sighing at the sight of her companion fast asleep. He fell asleep...again. Well, it's not that new to her, the man was always looking for a way to take a nap. The lazy bastard, always making her do the work. Not that the work was hard, it was just annoying. He should at least feel responsible, being her mentor and all.
She sighed once more, looking up to the clear blue sky. Maybe she's not that used to the sudden change. Right, because she was always worrying about paper works before and her Commander. They were like the very center of her attention before.
Speaking of her former Commander.
She smiled bitterly as memories flooded back into her mind. The memory was still fresh in her mind like yesterday, this was why she hated her photographic memory, it made her feel the pain and betrayal over and over again.
She yelped as an arm snaked around her belly and pulled her closer.
"You don't have to think about them. You have us." A soothing voice came from the supposed to be sleeping brunette.
"Mmm." She nodded before smiling. In a short amount of time, she had grown fond of the brunette. He always know what to say or do in order to soothe her. And it feels like she had known him before. Around him, she felt complete and content.
And as if to emphasize what he said, a bunch of voices approach them, bickering and teasing each other, throwing curses everywhere and making the guards and servants weaved a path for them.
This made her chuckle.
"What's so funny?" a man with an unruly mess of blue hair gruffly asked. The other seven figures looked suspiciously at the arm on her belly and the man beside her. He curled his body protectively around her, like a wolf protecting it's most precious possession.
"Nothing." She answered, smiling again and eyes softening.
Her companions looked into each other before the three most aggressive among them tackled the sleeping man beside her, shouting and screaming at what he did to her or told her. She was pulled away from him, smothered by protective women.
She doesn't want to return in her past life, she'd rather stay here with them by her side. Forever.
Miracle finally opened her eyes, jade eyes glowed with conviction and resolved as she straight-forwardly looked at the Witch in front of her. The said Witch took a step back before smiling in amusement, she never seen something this beautiful and terrifying.
"They took everything away from me. I'll kill them all." Miracle said as her eyes glowed dangerously to red. Her ragged black jacket with red linings, upturned collar and sleeves rolled up, hung loosely on her shoulders covering the scars of her past.
The Witch could only relent to her wish, "Then go get them."
Oh how she knew that the Whitebeard Pirates is going to so regret their mistake for awakening this not-so-merciful saint.
He never thought that he will be in this situation...again. No, that was an understatement.
This is not the same situation, it just looked like it.
At that time, her eyes are pleading and filled with tears, begging him to stop and listen to her but this is different, her eyes are dangerously cold and that sadistic smile on her face can even put the devils to shame.
He never thought he would see that kind of expression from her. So deadly. More importantly, he never thought he would see her alive.
How did she survive that?
"Ahh~ I forgot. This island is one of yours." She shrugged and tugged the chains that holding her captive in the air, as if to remind him that she had the village leader's life on her hand, which she certainly had.
He almost shivered at the voice. Almost. Even her voice changed. It was dark and cold, no trace of innocence.
Of course, Marco would noticed, the girl was always following him around before like a lost innocent...puppy. She was always one step behind him.
But now the girl has returned as a woman, a deadly one to be specific.
He noticed everything that changed in her, the soft expressive features of her face was gone replaced by hard and almost blank look with that sadistic smile. The shy fidgety stance was gone as she stood in front of him, shoulders squared like he doesn't intimidate her at all. Not anymore.
Even her aura practically screams death.
"She got nothing to do with this, Traitor" He retorted back, blue eyes fixated on her cold jade eyes. Too cold. The image of her before doesn't suit who she was now standing before him.
"Silly Commander, Do you really think i would listen to you?"
"Just hoping." He smirked as the her eyes narrowed at his answer.
She chuckled darkly before harshly tugging the chains, it tightens around her captive making Marco lunged at her, talons dangerously aimed at her head.
Her right hand automatically moved, letting go of the chain in the process and her captive, as bloody wings sprouted from the back of her hand and protected her from the attack.
"It's useless, your attack and...hope"
