The Continuing Age.
Exactly when ages begin and end is a difficult thing to determine. When did the Great Age of piracy begin?
It is often agreed that it started when Gol D. Roger shouted his last words to the world, but was this merely a catalyst for a social change that was already occurring? Do we include the lull in piracy activities, a period known as the `Grand Age of Ship Building`, when gangs of would be buccaneers sat around waiting for a vessel to attempt to terrorise the high seas, which lasted for around three years after the death of the Pirate King?
The main trouble with defining `ages` is that there are many many people living at the same time, and for each of these people. Sure, maybe it was Whitebeard's age, and his had ended. But it was also Shank's age, and the World Governments age. It was Luffy's age as well. Robin knew this, and she knew that none of these ages had yet ended.
Robin had watched the war. She had seen the deaths of Ace and Whitebeard sitting next to a commander of the revolutionary army. They were still here. Their age hadn't ended. The world was said to be in termiol, but that was the default state of the world anyway. The world moved quickly and chaotically, for seemingly random reasons. As a historian, Robin had to look at these crazy events and make them into some kind of order. That was what she did.
There was a change. But there wasn't enough of a change to say an age had ended.
Her crewmates, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji, Franky and Brook were still here, somewhere on this planet spinning itself through time. There was no end of an age for her.
And to her, that was all that mattered.
AN: Slightly odd one this time, not sure how it turned out. I like it, but I don't know if it'll make sense to someone other than me reading it, so feedback welcomed.
I know I probably shouldn't do ones for characters not in the war when I still have a long list of ones that were in it to do, but I kind of haven't thought of good ones for them, so...yeah.
