A/N: Feels like it was forever since the last time I publish a chapter. oO
I've been a very busy girl. With work and life and other fun things.
Enjoy! ^^
Brogy was laying on the ground with wounds on his face. The agents were laughing at him, except Miss Goldenweek, who doesn't say that much at all. Mr. 3 wanted to make sure that Brogy couldn't move anymore. He made, with his hand, some big knifes made out of candle wax and shove them into Brogys hands and feet.
"And now I'll make sure that the process to turn you into dolls will go quicker. I can't barely wait to see my new artwork!" Mr. 3 laughed.
Magnelia got full of anger and she started to feel that burning in her chest. Just like when she killed those bullies back in her home island. But it never grow big enough this time. Magnelia had a hard time breathing because of the wax that got in to her lungs. She, Nami and Vivi started to cough and tried to get some air.
"Zoro, do something!" Nami yelled.
Magnelia looked at her self. She saw the white candle wax growing on different spots on her body. Which made it hard for her to move with that thick layer wax on her. She had a plan however. Her crystal, that she always had under her shirt. Magnelia tried to move as fast as she can to get to the crystal. With it she could make some fire and help the crew here to get away from there. Her fight now was with time.
Zoro pulled out two of his swords.
"I'm going cut off my legs." He said with confident in his voice.
"Are you insane!? We don't have time for your stupid jokes!" Nami yelled at him.
"It's not a stupid joke. Beside, it is the best alternative we have right now. You can't say something won't work until you've tried." Which was his only answer.
Magnelia had to agree with Nami. This plan was incredibly stupid. Magnelia had manage to get her hand up to her chest. Soon she could get her hand in to her shirt and pick up the crystal.
"Take it easy now Nami. I got a better plan. But wax and time is against me." Magnelia coughed.
"But if he loses both feet, he can't fight!" Nami was pissed.
Zoro had succeed to draw out his swords. Brogy got inspired by Zoro's determination and chose to fight with him. Even if it meant to rip off his hands and feet. Vivi wanted to fight for everyone's survival.
"Lets do it!" Brogy yelled. Nami and Magnelia closed their eyes, cause they did not want to see this.
"We are here to kick you ass!" Magnelia recognize that voice and looked up.
Her hand had reach to the band around her neck and start to pull up the crystal.
Luffy, Usopp and Carue had flown out of the forest and crashed on to the ground.
"Yeah! Kick their ass and throw them away from this island! Right in to the sea!" Nami yelled in joy.
"Of course we will. They interfered with the giants fight." Luffy answered back.
Magnelia had got pretty far into her plan. But it started to get tough.
"Oi! Zoro! Do you need any help?" Luffy asked.
This caught Magnelia's attention and looked at Zoro's legs, which was bleeding massively. The sight made Magnelia sick to her stomach.
"No, I'm okay. But could you destroy that spinning thing and I'll handle the rest." Zoro smiled.
Magnelia sighed. Partly cause Zoro thinks he can fight with no feet on his legs and because it seems like they totally forgot that she's a witch and might had a solution to their problem.
"Sorry my friends. But I won't allow this." Mr. 3 stepped forward.
Luffy prepared himself to fight Mr. 3. Magnelia, Nami, Zoro and Vivi had calmed down, since they had full confident to their captain and his strength. Zoro relaxed a little bit too much.
"What the hell are you doing now!?" Nami yelled.
"If I'll turn into a wax doll, I want to at least have a good looking pose." Zoro had put away one of his swords and posed with the other sword in the air.
Magnelia stopped trying to pull up her crystal and started laughing. It felt typical him.
Luffy fought against Mr. 3, but it happen really fast. After he had gotten a big candle wax block, he used it as a hammer to hit the pillar on the giant cake that his friends were stuck on. The problem with this is that the cake with the candles got closer to them. That made the process go quicker.
Nobody could make a move and Magnelia had just got the crystal in her hand.
I've failed... I can't save my friends. She thought very disappointed at her self.
After that, everything turned black.
Zoro turned his face as much as he can towards Magnelia. She had fainted of lack of air and the wax made her stand up straight. Now they had to hurry or they would lose one of the crew members. He tried to move, but couldn't.
Luffy had beaten Mr. 3, so he was out of the picture.
"Luffy! Hurry up and destroy this thing. Magnelia is unconscious and will die if you don't do anything!" He screamed to Luffy.
"Yeah, but... I don't want to." Luffy answered back.
"What do you mean you don't want to!? You're about to lose a nakama!" Nami yelled back in anger.
"I understand... But I don't feel like it." Luffy shrugged his shoulders.
Zoro got really angry. He noticed that the thought of Magnelia being gone made him sick, it was worse then all the bad things that had happen to him.
"Luffy! It is very important that you do not move- I beg you! Don't move a inch!" Vivi shouted out of nowhere.
Zoro and Nami was shocked over what she said. Vivi explained that Luffy was standing on a black symbol and the responsible for it was Miss Goldenweek, Mr, 3's partner. her power was in her colors, which could change a persons feelings. Black was the color betrayal. And it went on from there.
Yellow made Luffy laugh. Red made him miss his target and hit the red symbol. Green made him peaceful and sit down with Miss Goldenweek and drank tea.
Zoro can't remember more then that.
All of a sudden, it got warm, extremely warm for Zoro's taste. He saw his nakama fighting against the other agents. Mr. 5 jumped on Usopp and was going to blow him self up. Zoro put on his bandana and pulled out his three swords and attacked.
"So, being alive is the happiest thing in this world, right?" Zoro said with a crocked smile.
"Speaking of being alive, where is Magnelia?" Vivi said.
Magnelia was laying on the ground, not moving. Nami and Vivi ran to her to see if she was breathing. They checked her pulse and her injures. Nami had tears in her eyes.
"We were too late..."
Zoro put back his swords and walked to them. He sat down next to Magnelia and picked her up in his arms and looked at her. He put her head against his shoulder and started rocking her like he did in Laboon.
Come on... Wake up, you can't be dead. Zoro thought to him self, over and over again.
He looked at her for a long time and noticed something was missing.
"Nami, where is her necklaces?" Zoro ordered Nami to find it.
Nami and Vivi started to look for it. Vivi found it in some melted candle wax. Zoro took it and put it around magnelias neck.
You can't leave us without it. Why didn't I get to know you better? Please, don't be gone... Zoro put her head against his shoulder again.
Her crystal started to light up and go out. Like heartbeats. First it was a dim light and then it got stronger and stronger.
Magnelias hand flew up on Zoro other shoulder and she pulled herself from him and she breathed heavy. Like she had been swimming under water for 30 minutes. She was confused.
Nami and Vivi jumped and cried of joy over Magnelia was still with them. Zoro just stared at her confused and shocked.
"What happen to me?" Magnelia finally asked.
"We thought you were dead, Miss Magnelia." Vivi told her.
Magnelia started to think back on what had happen and then looked at Zoro.
"How did I come back?" She asked him.
Zoro told her that they found her necklace in the wax and put it on her again. After that the crystal started to blink like a heartbeat.
"Haha really? That explains a lot. Every witch have a crystal of their own and our soul and magic lives in it. They protect us, or it protect me. If I die, it can't live on. So the crystal will do everything in it's power to keep me alive. Witches that get executed lose all their things before they get on the bonfire. That's why they die so easy. Unfortunately I can't bring back dead people with it. To do that, you need to use dark magic and the life of an innocent person."
She didn't get the chance to say more, Luffy came back and Brogy sat up and cried. He thought his friend was gone forever.
Dorry did however wake up and got his wounds taken care of. Luffy, Magnelia, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Vivi and Carue was there and discuss on what they should do now. They knew it would take a year for the log post to get it range again. Zoro had put Magnelia on the ground with her back against a rock, which he sat on.
I won't let you out of my sight from now on. Not when we're on the ship anyways. Almost losing you was too much. But you can read peoples energy. Can you read mine now? Zoro thought while looking down at Magnelia.
"By the way, aren't we missing someone?" Magnelia interrupted everyone in their conversation.
And after she said that, Sanji showed up. Overjoyed that the girl were okay.
Sanji had spoken to Mr. Zero and convinced him that the straw hat crew were eliminated. Plus Sanji had gotten a Eternal Post to Alabasta.
The whole crew felt a big relief that they could sail away from Little Garden.
"Then it's time to say goodbye . I wish you both of luck." Luffy smiled to the giants.
