Chapter 2: In Appearance.
The feeling of a rushing wind.
He was still half conscious when he realized he was falling.
He strangely felt nothing but calmness.
Below him was a vast blue ocean.
A vast blue ocean.
Not red, but blue.
Just like what that man once told him.
Beautiful.
'This is just a dream…' He thought sleepily.
'A beautiful dream…'
'I wish it will last forever…'
A booming voice assaulted his ears out of a sudden.
"AIM ALL CANNONS AT THE FIRST PROP! OBLITERATE STRAW HAT LUFFY IMMEDIATELLY!"
He was wide awake then.
Below him was a vast ocean with many warships surrounding a prop.
People were fighting.
On that chaotic scenery with so many people, the one that immediately caught his attention was a guy lying unmoving on the ground, just panting and looking tired all over, with so many wounds on his body.
"… Ace?" Cora whispered in a hopeful voice.
He landed silently infront of the guy, the many cannons of the warships didn't even bother him in the slightest or any of the people fighting for that matter, he didn't even bother to glance on anyone except the guy wearing a straw hat, his attention was solely focused on that guy.
Yet, he immediately became the focus of everyone around.
"Who is that?"
"A friend?"
"An enemy?"
"He just suddenly fell from the sky!"
"Isn't he one of those new rookie pirates?"
"Another one of those filthy pirates?!"
"The man with a bounty of two hundred million Beri!"
"The captain of the Heart Pirates!"
"Surgeon of Death! Trafalgar Law!"
"Why is he here?!"
"Are they in alliance or something?!"
"OBLITERATE HIM ALONG WITH STRAW HAT LUFFY!"
He didn't bother to correct them, people did always say that he looked just like his father in the past.
"FIRING AT STRAW HAT LUFFY AND TRAFALGAR LAW IN THE FIRST PROP IN FIVE SECONDS!"
A commotion. So many people shouting their voice over one another. The loudest one was telling them to jump into the ocean.
"IN FOUR SECONDS!"
It all didn't matter. Those loud voices were distant to him. He towered over the straw hat guy and they starred into one another eyes. Looking. Searching.
"THREE!"
He closed his eyes in defeat and turned his head upwards. No, this person wasn't Ace. He wasn't Cora's brother in everything but blood. Just like him and his father, Ace and his father also looked similar to each other.
"TWO!"
He opened his eyes and gazed into the sky.
His mouth opened a little.
The sky was blue.
Not black, but blue.
The sight was just so mesmerizing to him that it left him speechless.
And he finally realized that he truly wasn't in the same place and time anymore.
He fully acknowledged that everything were real. He wasn't dreaming.
Ace was really gone. The person infront of him was Monkey D. Luffy, Ace's father.
He had gone back in time.
Had he gone back in time alone? Where should he go now? What should he do? What about Emma? Did she make it here too? She was nowhere in sight. Were they separated? Where was his sister in everything but blood right now?
"ONE!"
Hands appeared around Monkey D. Luffy and started to toss him into the ocean below. A few people were also starting to jump into the ocean. His friends, he presumed.
Following the pirates, he jumped into the ocean. He didn't care that people were calling them mad. In a cool, calm, and collected manner, he touched the surface of the ocean with his hands and whispered two words.
"FIRE!"
"Ice Age."
Time itself seemed to stop.
All the fired cannonballs froze midair.
Everything and everyone except him were frozen into a solid ice in an instant.
He turned the buzzing battlefield into a silent land of ice with two simple words.
Corazon finally took a look around him. No sight of Emma to be found in the slightest.
He sighed and unfroze the captain of the Straw hat Pirates. Before the other could even open his mouth to speak, Corazon beat him to it.
"Which ones are your friends and which one is your ship? I will unfroze them and help you guys leave this place before more troubles arrive."
Still tired over his fight with Rob Lucci, Luffy could only rely on this guy to help him and his friends get out from here.
Corazon worked very fast and managed to unfroze them all.
They were still furiously whispering to each other about him when they gathered on the unfrozen Going Merry.
"Who is he?"
"Why is this guy helping us?"
"Isn't he a bit suspicious?"
"That was clearly Aokiji's ability! How could he use it?"
"It is impossible for two same devil fruits to exist."
Luffy was strangely quiet throughout the whispers. Then, he finally spoke, "Hey, you, what's your name?"
"It is rude to ask for someone name without telling yours first."
"I am Monkey D. Luffy! The man who is going to become the pirate king!"
"Don't give your name so easily, stupid!" Nami bonked him on the head.
"It hurts!"
Corazon's mouth twitched upwards a bit, amused by their antics.
"My name is Trafalgar D. Water Corazon. Just called me Cora."
"Alright, now get us out from here, Cora." Luffy said with a grin.
"You are just like him. Don't order me around. Room."
A blue doom appeared around them.
"Shamble."
The Going Merry along with it is passengers vanished from Enies Lobby, leaving a certain admiral who was still in quite a shock from seeing his own ability used by another person to deal with the mess.
A few days later, a certain surgeon inside a yellow submarine finally got his hands on the latest newspaper.
His eyes immediately widened in disbelief and confusion were shown as plain as a day when he read it.
"What the fuck?!"
Author's Note: How could Corazon use both of Aokiji's ability and Law's ability? Where could Emma be? What is she doing now? What about the devil? Where is it? What is it doing now?
