Me: Alright I'm back again and unfortunately, Mirim will die… okay just kidding. I don't really know what to do with her yet. After all, she was badly injured and lost a huge amount of blood sooooo.
Even so, there was some who said that she was a little too powerful under her last attack in Marineford, but remember, it wasn't her at first. Every time they called upon an element after she stopped Akainu it was her mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother who did it all. Just so there's no confusion about this.
One last reminder for this time: Check out the AcexOC community. Link in my profile. The authors there would love to get some feedback and maybe you get some inspiration to write your own AcexOC story ;)

Mirim: You're killing me!! How can you do this to me?!
Me: …
Mirim opened her eyes. She was in their soul's room again but this time there was no one there.
"Just where I want to be." She muttered to herself and walked up to the small lake.
"Hey mom! Are you there?" No answer. A vein popped up on her forehead.
"You're here again?!" She turned around sharply and saw her great great grandmother, Maki marching up to her.
"What did you do now?!"
"I participated in a fucking war and got hurt!" Maki blinked shocked by the girl's language. "Anyway, I'm just here to get a damn explanation out of mom." Mirim turned and jumped into the lake.
"What are you doing you idiot?!" She heard her great great grandmother yell but as soon as she dove underwater pain surged through her body as images planted themselves into her brain. She felt someone grab her and throw her out of the lake. Writhing on the ground in pain Mirim decided not to do that again ever.
"You idiot! You can't just go into every sphere here! Only your own. Damnit you could have died!" Maki yelled at Mirim. Trembling Mirim sat up.
"You could have… told me that earlier." She winced. The pain was diminishing but it still hurt. "Well, now you know. Now hurry up and return to the world of the living." Maki huffed and pushed her into the grey sphere and everything went black.
"Doctor! Something's wrong with Mirim!" Ace yelled as he ran up on deck. The doctor wasted no time. He ran past him and down below into the makeshift infirmary where he saw Mirim trash and shake violently with her eyes open but they had rolled back into the back of her head so only the whites showed. Saliva dripped out of her mouth, open in a silent scream, as her trashing intensified. He ran up to her and tried to find out what's wrong with her but she trashed too much- he was forced to ask for help.
Marco, who had followed the doctor the moment Ace had called for him held down her lower body while Ace held down her upper body. It surprised them how hard it was to hold her down but soon enough the doctor was finished. He injected her with sedative and rewrapped her wounds before he told them she needed rest.
"Bring the injured to the hospital. Go, go, go!" The doctor yelled and marched ahead of those carrying the injured pirates through Fishman Island. There were too many to count. Several mermen and mermaids ran up to them and helped them and the hospital was filled in no time.
Minutes turned to hours, hours to days, and days to weeks and weeks to months. Most of the pirates where just fine and had already gone back to their normal routine. Whitebeard was almost in perfect health too while Luffy was completely fine. The only one who had not recovered was Mirim. She was still lying unconscious in the hospital. While everyone had celebrated the successful rescue of Ace the thought of Mirim still being unconscious weighed heavily on their shoulders. Right now Ace was in a bar, trying to drown his worries in rum.
"Ace." The man turned and saw Marco walking up to him. "Marco." The older pirate sat down beside Ace and ordered a pint himself.
"Anything new?" Ace asked and took a sip. Marco shook his head. "The new Moby Dick is won't take long to be finished and she's still unconscious, not made a move at all, eh. Her wounds are almost fully healed though." Ace nodded. That wasn't so bad. The only problem was that she. Still. Had. Not. Woken. Up!
"They think she's fallen into a coma." Ace began to choke on his drink. "Say what?!" he half yelled making people turn to stare at them. Marco glared making everyone look away.
"They think she's fallen into a coma, eh." He repeated and Ace stared at his drink with slumped shoulders.
"This is my entire fault. If I hadn't been caught by Blackbeard the war wouldn't have happened and everything would be okay." He said and put his hands in his hands. Marco didn't know whether to hit the younger man or comfort him. Fortunately he didn't have to do either of them. A hand had grabbed Ace's head and slammed him face first into the bar counter reducing it to f. Everyone in the room turned silent as Ace slowly picked himself up from the rubble. He scowled and turned around ready to punch the one who dared do this into oblivion but was shocked to see Luffy standing there cracking his knuckles.
"Luffy, what the hell-" he was cut off as Luffy punched him again, the force of the punch sending him flying through the wall to his left.
"Martha, the mirror!" the bartender yelled and a chubby woman grabbed one end of the mirror behind the bar counter and the bartender the other as they hurried out of the bar. Marco was about to stop Luffy from going after his brother but the glare the boy sent him told him to stay the hell away. The young captain followed his brother out of the bar and watched as Ace wiped blood off his chin and glared at his brother.
"What the hell Luffy? What was that for?!" he yelled. The teen said nothing but marched up to him and throw another punch but Ace wanted none of that. He blocked and punched back, hitting Luffy and sent him flying back into the wall.
"Will you answer me you idiot?!" Wordlessly Luffy got up from the rubble and stared at Ace. The tension in the air could almost be seen and Marco swore he could cut it with his knife. Then Luffy charged forward and so did Ace. They met halfway, their hands clasped together as they both pushed back and forth.
"What the hell's up with you?"
"I should be asking you that!" Luffy retorted angrily at which Ace raised an eyebrow before they pushed away from each other.
"What do you mean by that?" Luffy didn't answer but charged again and punched and kicked at which Ace dodged easily until Luffy began to use his Devil Fruit powers making Ace start to get pissed off.
'Ok, that's it!' he thought angrily and once Luffy yelled "Gomu gomu no pistol!" he made use of his logia power. Once Luffy hit him his body turned into fire slightly burning Luffy which made the younger pirate fall back with a cry of surprise clutching his arm.
"Now can you tell me what the hell's your problem?!" he demanded as he walked up and grabbed Luffys collar. Suddenly the younger brother grabbed his necklace and dragged him down.
"You! You're my problem!" Ace stilled. "You're not like yourself because this one nakama of yours haven't recovered completely." And then the older man let go of his brother who tackled him.
"You act like it's all your fault but it isn't! Okay, so this Blackbeard guy was stronger than you anticipated and beat you which are not something many are able to, but Mirim chose herself to partake in the war didn't she?" Luffy glanced over at Marco who nodded.
"Originally she was sick with a high fever." The commander of the first division said. Luffy turned back to Ace and then grinned.
"See? I'm sure it's just that she hadn't recovered completely and her body needs the rest, after all, didn't you see the awesome power she wielded back there? She's strong isn't she?" Ace stared at him before he sighed and covered his eyes with his hat. "Yeah." He grinned too. Luffy got up and held out his hand for Ace to take and helped him up.
"She'll be just fine Ace. You just wait and see."
"Ace, pops calls for an emergency meeting." Jozu said. Ace raised an eyebrow but followed nonetheless into a huge manor that the mermen had given the great pirate when he saved their island.
"What took you so long?" The captain boomed as they walked in. The two shrugged and sat down on the couch in front of his desk with Marco while the other commanders were scattered around on chairs.
"Marco told me something Mirim said as she collapsed on the ship that day." Whitebeard said calmly and glanced at Marco, a sign to tell what he had heard.
"You all saw that Mirim tried to say something, eh?" Most of them nodded. "Did any of you hear?" Everyone shook their head making Marco sigh. "She said Blackbeard was there. Did any of you see him?" Everyone's faces contorted into anger as they yet again shook their heads slowly.
"Apparently Blackbeard was there but he didn't show himself." Marco finished darkly and just then the doctor came in.
"She's awake." Everyone perked up immediately. They knew who he was talking about. At once everyone had jumped to their feet but Ace was already out the door ignoring the doctor's yells after him. He ran out of the manor, through the village and into the hospital practically flying inside the room where Mirim sat on her bed. She turned sharply towards him and stared as he panted out of breath. He stared at her and then smiled.
"Mirim-" "Excuse me but… who are you?" the smile fell right off his face. Was she joking? If that was the case it wasn't funny. Just then Marco and the doctor came in through the door.
"She has amnesia Ace." Marco said and stared at Mirim sadly, who stared right back at them looking both confused and afraid.
Me: Okay, short and maybe a little boring but needed chapter. I try to keep the chapters over 1500 words from now on and more. Not one word under. So what do you think? It will get even more chaotic, trust me.
