One Piece In Their World 2 Chapter 18
Everyone's Time!!(POV)
Aiva was lying on the ground in between Zoro and Chopper, her eyes closed and face wet. Penelope looked down to her stomach and saw a huge gash there. The color, Crimson, was spread all over her shirt and she couldn't tell she was breathing or not. Penelope fell to her knees next to Zoro and could see him shaking a little and clutching his swords, digging them into his skin. Tears were streaming down his eyes and onto Aiva. The rest of the crew had now joined and looked at them in the middle. Penelope tried to remember what had happened to her through her tears when a sudden burst of memory came to her of Aiva. Penelope holding Aiva in the air, she was gasping for air and couldn't use her powers. Kenn had been thrashed about but she still held Aiva. Then her water tentacle came grabbing her sword and then putting it through her, making it her last breath as she fell to the ground. (No…No…NO!) Penelope's tears became harder and harder spilling out. She looked at her hands and cried looking at how these were the hands that killed her best friend.
"I…I…Killed her…" Penelope trailed off. She felt like wanting to kill herself; living in this kind of world with all the hate onto herself…No! Then she felt a warm hand on her shoulder and looked up.
"Its okay," he mouthed. The tears became stingy but Ace gave her a small smile and filled with little hope, though it was still a lot. Penelope nodded and knew that it wasn't her fault that Aiva was dead, but it still felt like it was.
"If...only I was there…" Zoro was shaking and tears were falling onto Aiva.
"Before…when she was taken…If I-"
"Zoro," said Luffy, though he was sad he said it seriously, he himself crying. Zoro understood what his captain meant but couldn't hold it in. He was still crying but was doing it quietly. Everyone was looking at Aiva's body and crying silently. No one knew what to say because if they said something it might seem to break the thin ice. It was still dark and the water was glistening around her body, shining on her face. Then a small light came from Aiva's body and began to rise. Everybody stared at it. (This was how Aiva healed herself…) thought Penelope. She started to get a little shred of hope but then it showed the light getting thinner and thinner, coming out of her body and then finally going upwards.
"Wait…" whispered Zoro as he watched the light start to go a little higher.
"WAIT!" yelled Zoro desperately now with tears coming down with his eyes. Nami was covering her mouth and everyone had tears pouring down their eyes. Including Luffy, who just couldn't see his Nakama go. They saw the light stop a bit and gather above them forming into a person who looked just like Aiva. "A…Aiva?" said Penelope. Luffy, Chopper, Nami, Robin, Franky, and Kenn were all biting their lips for the answer.
"No…this is the other Aiva," said the light. (It's her sprits…) though Nami sadly.
"Wa…wait! Can't you heal Aiva?!" said Penelope desperately. She remembered how the light always surrounds Aiva and healed her wounds, even if she did need to rest for a long period of time.
"No!" the spirit said it with a harsh voice and glared at them.
"What?..." trailed off Sanji.
"Because her wound is too deep, it goes through her. And not only was that, but the domain of her spirit ripped a little, giving the power to itself again." They couldn't understand what was going on.
"Her domain? She can't be healed? Why…?!"
"There is no way to heal her?!" said Franky shakily.
"No…No THERE HAS TO BE A WAY!" yelled Zoro. He looked at Aiva stroking her cold cheek shakily and then looking at the spirit again with running tears. The spirit looked at Zoro seriously and came a little closer to him, looking him in the eye. "You…you…love her, very much," said the spirit softly. The spirit knew this, but she didn't know it was a love with a tie so hard, he would be able to do anything. Everyone looked over at Zoro seeing him look at Aiva and then nodding.
"Yes, I…I love her too much." He stroked her face again feeling the chill in his fingertips.
"There is one way to help her, but it is above all, one of the most difficult and you must risk EVERYTHING," she emphasized everything. The crew and Prince wondered what it was that she meant to Zoro.
"You must give half of your life…to her." The crews eyes widened a little but Zoro's stayed the same staring up at the spirit. He nodded once and the sprit understood.
"You must know you are giving up half of your LIFE, are you okay to do this…for her?" said the Spirit nodding down at Aiva.
"Yes," Zoro looked down at Aiva's unmoving face, and then at the whole in her stomach.
"I would do anything for her to come back, her warm touch, her smiling face…" he trailed off and looked at the spirit again. The tears were still coming through but there was a small smile on his face. The spirit nodded once and went a little closer to Zoro. Everyone else wondered what was going to happen as the watched Zoro who was next to the unmoving Aiva look over her then at the spirit fully ready. The tears were slowly stopping yet still coming in slow streams. The spirit went closer to Zoro yet was above Zoro and still over Aiva. Then she put her hand out and seem like she was grabbing hold of something tight. Then Zoro's body stiffened and it seemed like the spirit was holding on tighter now, but her body wasn't moving. Penelope could hear a small whimper but the others kept watching as they saw something appear. It looked like a thin thread then a long thread of the light colored green came out of him and the spirit grabbed onto it. Zoro was leaning back and looked like he was in a lot of pain as it was getting pulled out of him. Luffy and the others were watching as he went through the pain. The spirit was pulling it behind her where it made a small orb like ball. It seemed to take a long time, Penelope wondered how it was like getting your life taken away from you. Soon it stopped coming out and Zoro leaned forward a bit over Aiva gasping for breath and then looked at the green light next to the spirit. Everyone watched as she rolled it into a smooth ball over Aiva, though not putting it in.
"This…This will give her…life?" said Zoro panting with tears escaping his eyes as he looked down at Aiva. The spirit smirked a little and then the green light started spinning a fast pace. Then the spirit started to merge with it as it spun in extremely fast rotations and then producing a bright light.
"You will all still be remembered, do not worry, hehe" The spirits voice echoed and then the revolving ball crashed into Aiva. They all tried to look and with Penelope and Zoro the closest it seemed like the only thing they could see was white light. Then it subsided and Aiva suddenly turned green all over. A path of green speedily came off of her feet and head making fast patterns across the ground like the ground beneath them was going to break apart. Luffy, Ace, and Sanji had a serious face as they saw the green light speedily curl up some lampposts. Suddenly as fast as they went off, they came back, and entered her body again. The light was gone and everything was back to normal. It was silent for a while,
"Is she…." Franky trailed off as Chopper raced over to Aiva. He felt for her heart beat through his stethoscope. They saw him shake a little and look up at Zoro with some tears coming down his cheeks.
"She's…alive" Zoro smiled a bit and Luffy smiled widely through his tears.
