Maya- Now what you've all been waiting for, THE LAST CHAPTER!
Zoro- This story is finally done thank you.
Maya- ... asshole. Anyway yes this is the last chapter so without futher ado here you go.
The wind gently blew her long green hair off her shoulders and made it dance. She walked towards a stone in the ground that stood at the edge of a cliff allowing it to look over the ocean. A man stood next to it. His hair turning grey in a few parts but his face still looked young and healthy. She smiled at the man and turned to her parents. They nodded and she ran towards him.
Pulling the man into a big hug she greeted him. "Hello Uncle Don."
"Hello Mae, you sure have grown into a fine young lady." Don-lee laughed. "Last time I saw you, you were just a new born, that was twenty years ago."
"I can't believe I can finally meet you in person." Mae smiled. "All I know about you was what I read in your letters."
"I'm sorry it took so long for us to meet, but with your parents job it is hard." Don-lee said. "Besides it must hurt them to come here."
Mae nodded in understanding and turned to look at the stone in the ground. "So he's here?"
"Yes, this is your twin brother Kain." Don-lee said sadly. "Bravest soul I never got to meet alive."
"Why's his grave all the way up here?" Mae asked.
"We put him here so that he could see you guys travel the sea and keep watch over you." Don-lea said.
"Mom and Dad never said much about him only that if it weren't for him I'd never have been born." Mae said as she sat down in front of the grave. "I wish I could meet him."
"We all do." Don-lee said as he placed his hand on her shoulder. 'It's all that assholes fault."
"Who?" Mae asked.
"Hawkeye Mihawk." Don-lee said with a scowl.
"Who's that?" Mae asked.
"A man your mother killed seventeen years ago on Raftel." Don-lee said. "You were only three so you wouldn't remember."
"Oh." Mae said. "He died protecting me from this Mihawk?"
"Yeah." Don-lee smiled once again. "He took the full blow of Mihawk's sword leaving you unharmed."
"I wish it was me that died instead of him." Mae said sadly as she fought back the guilt and tears. "If I wasn't there then maybe he could have lived."
"Don't say that." Don-lee said. "Your brother would have died even if you weren't there, so we all consider ourselves lucky that we even got you."
"But." Mae tried to say.
"No buts." Don-lee cut her off. "Now let me see how you've grown." Turning her head towards him he wiped her tears away. Her bright blue eyes stared back at him as her tan skin was still flush from her sudden tears. "You look so much like your Father. You have his face minus the facial hair of course."
Laughing Mae brushed her hair to the side. "Aunt Nami always tells me that I may look like my father but I have my mother's personality."
"I can tell." Don-lee said. "You dream big and never know when to back down. I'm just surprised that your dream was to beat your mother and steal his title of best swordsman. Have you gotten any closer?"
"Not even an inch." Mae laughed. "I may be getting stronger by the day but he seems to get stronger by the second."
"That's your father for you." Don-lee laughed. "He carried you without your fathers knowing for so long and tried to deal with all the stress that even couples together struggle with."
"Yeah." Mae said as she looked back once again at her parents.
"So are your brothers here?" Don-lee asked.
"Tai and Zeal are with Luffy." Mae said. "They are making their way up here now."
"I'm surprised that they wanted more children though." Don-lee said.
"After Raftel they decided to try to have another go." Mae said. "Then after Tai was born they found Zeal on a shipwreck. They couldn't just leave him so we adopted."
"How old are they now?"
"Tai is sixteen and Zeal is fifteen." Mae said.
"You guys grew so fast." Don-lee noted. "I'm feeling really old now."
"Be happy you're not as old as Uncle Brook." Mae laughed.
"Don't make fun of your Uncles age." Sanji said as he and Zoro joined them along with Tai, Zeal and Luffy.
Zeal had short black hair and bright red eyes. His skin was dark and had a long scar that ran up his arm which he received when his ship was attacked as a child. He was short but whenever confronted about it he would yell that he's still growing. He was friendly and active but very shy. He wore a red vest and blue shorts in order to look more like Luffy who he thought of as a hero.
Tai on the other hand was tall and lazy but also very protective over Zeal. He had light pale skin that he hid under layers of black clothes. His eyes were the same colors as Zoro's but had splashes of blue in them and they were currently outlined in a black. His blonde hair dyed with green tips. Like Zoro he had three earrings. One was green to represent Mae, one was black to represent Zeal then the last one was white in honor of Kain. He never told anyone this but everyone already got that feeling.
"Is this Kain's grave?" Tai asked.
"Yes." Zoro said as he wrapped his hand around Sanji's.
"So this is our oldest brother." Zeal said as he held onto the bottom of Luffy's shirt. Tai gave Luffy a jealous look and moved to stand next to Zeal.
"It's been so long since we've last been here." Luffy said. "I'm not sure if I want to be happy or sad to be here."
"Agreed, even though we did make some happy memories here that one sad one equals it all out." Sanji said.
"Life can't be lived without sadness, that's why we try our best to be happy." Don-lee said. "The best thing we can do is live our lives to the fullest to those we lost."
"You sound like an old man off a soap opera." Luffy laughed which made Zeal chuckle.
"Mae you should take your brothers to wash up for dinner." Zoro said. "Uncle Don said he wanted to take the family to a restaurant."
"Ok mom." Mae said. "I hope you've been saving uncle Don, Luffy can eat the richest of men out of house and home."
Chuckling Mae, Zeal, Tai, Don-lee and Luffy began to make their way back down the cliff and towards the ship that was docked not that far. Turning back to the grave Zoro rested some flowers in front of it and sat down. Sanji placed some candles on the edge of it and light them before sitting next to Zoro.
Leaning his head on Sanji's shoulder Zoro sighed. "It sure has been a long time since we've been here."
"Too long if you ask me." Sanji added.
"Sorry it's been so long." Zoro said as he ran his hand along the gravestone. "I wish you could have been here with us."
"I'm sure he's in a better place." Sanji said.
"Heaven's not real." Zoro murmured.
"You could at least try to go along with it." Sanji sighed.
"No." Zoro said as he leaned in closer to Sanji.
"Whatever." Sanji chuckled. "Who do you think he'd be more like?"
"Well he could be just like Mae but then again he could also be her opposite." Zoro said.
"He could have also turned out like Tai." Sanji said.
"We have enough trouble with Tai alone." Zoro hummed. "We'd never get any sleep if there were two."
"We can always test that theory." Sanji said as he trailed a hand up Zoro's side.
"Horn ball." Zoro said as he grabbed onto Sanji's hands.
"Only when it comes to you." Sanji said. "But being here always makes me think of how much I've missed while he was growing in your stomach. "Makes me want to be there for the next."
"We have three and that's good enough." Zoro said.
"Yeah yeah I know." Sanji chuckled as he kissed Zoro's cheek. "Lets go before Luffy and Tai eat all the food." Standing up Sanji blew out the candles.
"Yeah I guess we should." Zoro said but made no move to stand.
"Come on your children are waiting." Sanji said as he helped Zoro to his feet. "We'll have to come back again."
"I know but the last time was so long ago." Zoro said as he watched the grave get smaller and smaller as they walked back to the ship.
"Then we'll just need to make sure that the next time is soon." Sanji said as he took Zoro's hand.
"Right." Zoro smiled and gave Sanji a quick kiss before they rejoined the family and crew.
