"Ne, 'Fire Fist' bring her over here." Zoro smiled motioning him to bring her over. He smiled in his mind at the child, she reminded him of 'Kunia' so much. Yet, he didn't want them to find out that he was having a moment. "What did you find out?" He asked Ace.
Ace brought me over there and laid me down on his chest. He smiled before answering, "Oh, she's from a different world. I told her that I had used my 'Mera-Mera no Mi' powers to bring her back to life, and she asked 'what's a Mera-Mera no Mi?'"
"She doesn't know what a devil fruit is? Then she must be from a different world. That would explain the clothes and that weird device that Robins been holding on to for Sparky. So why is she in our world?" Zoro asked.
"She says that the same 'Hibiki' that attacked her brought her over here. She says that she's from Shibuya, Japan, somewhere on Earth, but we are on Earth. Is there another parallel universe where pirates don't exist and high-tech stuff thrives?" Ace wondered as he softly patted my head like a puppy. He seemed to notice Zoro staring at him. "What?"
"Oh, nothing. It seems that you've grown attached to her. Actually, you've only known her for about since the time she arrived and right now! Don't tell me you've fallen in love? She looks about 13 or 12, and you're what? Like 20?" Zoro snickered meaning well to Ace. He winced when his wounds opened again. "Kuso…"
"No, I didn't fall in love! She told me something very heartbreaking up in the crows-nest so she needs lots of company and comfort." Ace replied back as his eyes darkened. His black messy hair fell in his freckled face showing hints of sadness showed in his face concerning Zoro.
"What kind of 'heartbreaking' was it? Boy troubles?" Zoro laughed lightly as he stared at the sky's clouds. He closed his weary eyes, but he wasn't planning on dozing off until Ace spilled what Sparky told him.
"No, she said that she's stuck in a real life game of life-or death. She's being forced, as well as many other unfortunate victims, to play a game and survive. She seemed very sad about. I noticed her sadness when I asked her who 'Neku' was. I think 'Neku' is Sparky's battle partner or something in the game. I don't know what the GAME even is! Maybe when she wakes up, we will soon find out. But for now, I think us all need some deserved rest especially you, Zoro, you look like you took quite a beating out of that animal!" Ace laughed while rubbing my head.
"Shut up! It's not my fault that the thing was tougher than a regular Sea King! It was like riding a bull! I wonder where it went actually since I didn't kill it." Zoro twitched as he punched, playfully, Ace's right shoulder.
"Ne, Ne, alright! So, where'd Chopper take Lu too?" Ace asked curiously.
"Oh, I think to his extra-storage room. Since his main room was destroyed, he had to use his other room." Zoro replied.
It was peaceful just sitting there enjoying the small time they had. They were on course for Mirror-Ball Island, but now they have to take a different route. It seems that there is another island called, 'Zodiac Archipelago'. So, they're going to stop there after they get there.
The peace was nice until someone ruined it by his shouting.
"AHHHHHH! IT'S TRYING TO KILL ME!" the annoyed voice shouted out from down below.
"Was that Usopp?" Ace asked befuddled by the shout. He moved a bit, setting me on Zoro, and stood up. He walked down there as the silence grew.
"Oi, why me?" Zoro muttered seeing me hug him in my sleep. "Oi! Stop! I'm not a teddy bear!" He said. Zoro began to try and pull me gently off his body. But alas, I didn't budge.
"Beat…. I'm sorry about Rhyme… I tried to save her….. She…. Told me to tell…. You that she…. Was sorry and that she…. Loved you always no matter how stupid and crazy you were… She said that… you were the best brother ever…" I muttered against 'whoever' was holding me.
"Beat? Who are your friends, and why aren't they here?" Zoro asked mostly to himself. He looked at me as I snuggled my head into his neck. He tensed as his face faintly flushed. 'Why me! WHERE'S ACE WHEN YOU NEED HIM!' He thought. The small girl kept hugging him.
"Usopp? What's going on here?" Ace asked seeing Usopp in a closet as he was cowering.
"…. Evil… scythe made….a new room… out of thin air. He is coming after me!" Usopp squeaked out in horror. He shuddered even more as he looked behind Ace.
Ace looked over his shoulder to see a man with black spikey hair running down to his shoulders.
His eyes were red as the red moon and bloodlust lived in them. He had no shirt on, revealing his abs and battle scars from many eons ago. A deeply wound was on his right shoulder running down to his left hip. He had black pants on running down to his feet as his black boots were speckled with blood. Long canines were forming from his mouth as he lazily stared at Ace in a challenging way.
"THERE IT IS! THE DEMON SCYTHE TURNED INTO A PERSON! IT TRIED TO EAT ME AFTER I OPENED THAT DOOR!" Usopp screamed slamming the door.
There was a door a white coating as blood red paintings on it. A single doorknob occupied the right hand side. A picture of a butterfly that was red.
"So, who're you and what's with you and that door?" Ace causally asked the boy. He was smiling.
"Master only gets in…. No more… Master has to come back and sleep." The child rang out in a creepy voice. He sounded like Zoro but more children like. He smiled at Ace.
"Master? And may I ask who your master is?" Ace asked as he revved up his Mera-Mera no Mi powers if a fight broke out. He smirked.
"Oh… she is a person of many talents… Though she has been hurt in the most horrible way to imagine… Her name is Rai—Sparky!" The child corrected himself at the last moment smiling.
"Sparky… do you mean a girl with brown hair and a child-like behavior?" Ace was surprised.
"Yes! Do you know where I could find her? I'm really worried about her well-being and all! I lost contact with her after she found someone very helpful making her laugh again." He child asked.
"Um…. I think she's up on the deck with Zoro." Ace answered back. This freak knows Sparky?
"Thank you! Now I must get her before I lose my spirit connection! STAY AWAY FROM THE DOOR! Ok, bye!" He smiled sweetly as he ran up on deck.
"Weird child… Usopp… he's gone now so you can come out now." Ace smiled.
Usopp fell out of the closest and stood up saying, "I wasn't hiding! I was just…. Waiting for a chance to sneak out and attack!"
"Yeah, right... Anyway, let's go… I really wanna see the room… You go and visit my brother Luffy alright?" Ace ordered rather than ask. His eyes glowed with mischievousness as he smiled.
"Alright…" Usopp said running off.
Ace opened the door to find it unlocked. He slipped inside peacefully as he looked amazed at the room!
It was long with a large bed with white sheets and white pillows. A book was casted on the bed un-touched, but sitting there with some note-books and sketch-pads. The room was like a large rectangle shaped room with sliding doors which lead to a balcony on the side of the ship. The room itself was coated in white paint with small blue drawings on the headboard of the bed. A large bulletin board was on the right of the door where a desk was located as well. The bulletin board had pictures of people together playing around or posing for the picture. The desk was pure white, along with the rest of the room, and cluttered with drawings, reports, small weird high-tech devices, and a picture frame with a large group of people. A TV was located on the wall infront of the bed. A closet with black dragon locks was at the end of the room where the doors were located heading to the balcony.
"Woah… I know Usopp didn't lie when he said that it built a room. I wonder how he built it out of thin air. It looks like it has been here for awhile now. I wonder if this is the same SPARKY I know, and not some weirdo…." Ace whispered to himself, but he noticed something buzzing on the bed.
It was a small device with a metal covering. The sides were black and a small panda keychain hung off the side. The device rang and rang.
Ace picked it up, and he opened the device as it made a weird sound. A voice followed it afterwards.
