Chapter 13

Marineford

Everyone was screaming, some were flailing desperately on air, and some were even crying their hearts out in fear. Stellar had to admit that they made a terrible mistake. The possibility of death was just before their eyes and they kept on blaming each other for listening to the plan of the last person they shouldn't really have listened to...

Monkey D. Luffy.

Now they were helplessly falling from the sky, all of them regretting having listened to the young captain – because who REALLY, in their right mind, would listen to a pirate known for their unpredictability and dumb antics? Sadly, they did. They all listened to him and now, they could not deny the fact that they were utterly wrong to listen to and follow the plan made by the monkey-brained rubber man.

What in the world had they been smoking to agree with such an idea?"

"I knew you'd overdo it!" Buggy cried angrily.

"This is all because of his wink!" Crocodile argued back.

"Vyou're blaming this on vme, Croco?!" Ivankov screamed.

"Who cares?! We're gonna die!" Luffy shouted.

Stellar laughed heartily.

"This is no time to laugh, Stellar-san!" Mr. 3 screamed as he helplessly thrashed around in panic. "Please do something! I don't want to die!"

She immediately shut her mouth, mentally scolding herself for being insensitive to her surroundings. They were all in trouble and she needed to do something about it.

As they neared the frozen ground, Stellar noticed how Aokiji did not hold back freezing most of the Marineford. Even the massive waves that were supposed to engulf the island had been frozen solid, and any ships that had dared to sail near the island were stuck. He was clearly showing off; a testament of the power of one of the three Great Admirals.

Stellar narrowed her eyes at the thought of these silly marines trying to instill fear to the Whitebeard Pirates. 'Is this your declaration of war, Sengoku?'

Stellar carefully examined her surroundings with her observation haki. There were thousands of marines ready to fight, and the Whitebeard pirates, including the Division Captains, (which was a rare sight) were all present and ready to save Ace

A man, who was known to be the strongest person alive, stood proudly on his ship while holding his signature bladed spear, his posture confident and formidable; just as how a Yonko should be. Stellar moved her head towards the direction where her old friend was, and she could not help but smile in relief at the wide grin Edward was showing to the whole world.

And Ace… Stellar looked to her left. Ace was gaping foolishly with a distressed look plastered on his face. Garp and Sengoku were with him, shocked and stupefied at the chaos the newcomers were creating.

Stellar bit her lip and focused her eyes on Ace. Seeing him covered in wounds and chained like a dog made Stellar's muscle grow tense, anger curled and unstoppable in her gut. That man, who was the kindest and most caring person she ever met, never deserved to be treated like dirt.

"Everyone!" she started. The prisoners who heard her looked at her with hope shining in their eyes. "Do you trust me?" she asked them seriously as small shards of crystals smoothly covered her hands and flowed to her arms.

"YEEEEEEESSSSS!" they all shouted with tears in their eyes and snot flowing out of their nose.

"Good!" she shouted back and the crystals that surrounded her arms began to spread beautifully on her back to create wings. Stellar immediately angled her body into a hovering position, her eyes assessing the places of everyone who was falling. They were all scattered, making it a difficult catch, but Stellar had to try and save them from smashing their heads on the ground

Wasting no time, Stellar released more crystals out of thin air in the middle of the battlefield, spreading it like a blanket that covered half of the sky, ready to catch the prisoners who soon successfully hit the blanket of crystals a little roughly. One by one, most of them were caught by her powers including Luffy who bounced clumsily and landed beside a dizzy Buggy.

Crocodile managed to catch himself and landed rightly on his feet thanks to his sand.

Ivankov failed to angle his landing and hit his big head hard.

Mr. 3 and the other prisoners crashed themselves ungracefully in the blanket of crystals.

Slowly and carefully, Stellar brought them down to the ground, her left hand controlling the crystals to land them safely. Her other hand, however, shot up to create another blanket of crystals to catch the falling marine ship.

'Last one,' she thought and grunted as she felt her arms turning stiff when she carefully covers the ship with her crystals to lessen the force of its fall. It was heavy but she could handle it just fine.

"Stellar nee-san is really amazing…" Buggy said in awe. He watched the legendary pirate perfectly control the crystals around them.

"Shishishishi! Thank you Stellar!" shouted Luffy who unintentionally confirmed the fears of the marines surrounding them.

The marines, no doubt, heard of the name, the rumors, the news. Her name was mentioned in history books, proclaiming that this woman should never exist, and her race was a curse eradicated by the World Government for the sake of peace. Their ancestors said that she is a demon, a powerful crystal user, and a woman whose hair was as white as snow and eyes that resembles the treasured pearl of the sea.

Rumors said that she lived for years, decades…centuries. She was also known for killing a Celestial Dragon, a being that should be respected and praised by mere mortals like a god. She broke the law of the world which only made the people believe that she, indeed, is a demon.

But most of all, she was known for being a part of the legendary crew that shocked the whole world.

She was supposed to be a myth, a ghost of the past. But here she is, all flesh and bones. Her pearl-like eyes piercing to every marine's soul with deep loathe and hatred.

She crashed the ship recklessly, not minding the marines who were scattered on the frozen ground.

Stellar landed gracefully beside Luffy, patting the dust on her cloak and wiping the sweat that matted her bangs. Her posture slumped slightly at the ache that was slowly forming on her shoulders, the consequences of using her powers constantly before its limit. Ivankov, Crocodile and Buggy stood behind them, judging the battlefield with their own eyes.

Marines surrounded them instantly. Marines pointed them with their guns and swords, their sole purpose is to eliminate the pirates and prisoners who were obviously unwelcomed in the battlefield. It was a sight to see, but Stellar paid no mind to them as she smiled softly at the familiar faces of the Whitebeard pirates who were still shellshocked on what is happening.

"LUFFY!"

Upon hearing his name, Luffy immediately faced the person he was looking for. He grinned so widely; his eyes full of hope.

"AAAACE! I FINALLY FOUND YOU!"

'Why…why are you here, Stellar?! Stupid brother?!'

Ace bit the inside of his cheek, his head swimming in so much worry and confusion about the sudden turn of events. Why was his little brother wasting his life on this battlefield?! For him?! He should mind his own business! This is his adventure, his problem, his life. He should go away and leave this bloody war. Especially Stellar… She should be somewhere safe, relaxing on an island where no one will bother her. Why is she here revealing her whole identity to the whole world?! Why is she wasting her efforts on living as free as possible?

'How about your freedom?!'

He wanted to shout, to scold them for the wrong choice they are making, to chase them away from the problem he caused. But nothing comes out of his mouth because everything feels so dry, so painful. He choked on the sob that wishes to release from his mouth. He is fucking pathetic. He is so damn useless.

'Please…Oh god, please. Go away…' He bowed his head, hiding his tears and whispered, "Just leave me to die."
