Spoiler Warning
Based off of Dressrosa Arc.
(This assumes you finished this arc and knows the characters/story involved :)
Extra Note:
This is a mini revamp of my original story: "Obsession"; I got a little busy and was unable to continue and it stopped at chapter 3; but now I want to continue it but actually finish it this time. If you read the original before you won't notice much difference but there is a slight change! Hope you enjoy the story and please ignore any grammatical/spelling errors on my end. If I notice it I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Chapter 1 will be posted later on today after work! So stay tuned and thank you for reading!
Glossary
Hyaku: 100
Nen: Year
Nemuri: To sleep
Neiru: Nails (Japanese pronunciation)
Fun Fact:
The Japanese alphabet does not have the letter "L", so it is replaced with a "R" instead. So the correct pronunciation for a Japanese word that contains "R", is L.
A Mere Obsession
Prologue
The sunlight harshly towered over the island. The birds were nowhere to be found, wind could not be felt against the skin and screams filled the air that intertwined with the burning sound. Xanerland, a homely place with vibrant colours of nature are now… burning down into ashes leaving nothing but the taste of despair.
Within these flames were two survivors. A pitiful sight to behold if one were to see how the two females presented themselves in front of this hostile visitor. A mother was hugging her child protectively facing her back while he, on the other hand, proudly stood tall with his white, clean uniform and a white hat labeled: "Marine." Unfriendly pile of nails exhibited from this terrifying man, his arms crossed against his chest.
"This is justice." He said coldly.
The 18-year-old girl felt her beloved mother hug her tighter against her chest.
"It's ok, it's ok, it is fine, you are going to be fine." Her mother whispered and softly stroked her baby-blue hair that mirrored her late husbands. "No matter what happens, know that your father and I always loved, and will continue to love you even in death." She breathed and continued to pat her hair down. "Sleep, my child."
"Wait mother I-"
"Nemu, numu no mi, Hyaku-nen no nemuri."
"MOTHER!" She screamed only to feel a sudden unwanted drowsiness immediately taking effect.
"NEIRU!" The man shouted angrily and stabbed millions of nails upon her mother's back.
"I love you." She heard her mother say quietly for the last time. She was missing a few teeth from this terrible war, and even though she was bruised and battered and covered in nothing but blood, she looked nothing but beautiful who never faulted her big smile. I love you too mum… she said mentally and was forced into a very, very long slumber of 100 years.
Or, that is what she thought.
