I do not own One Piece. This chapter was very hard for me to write. Only because I love Ace. Thanks as always for reading. I think that this only has 1 or 2 chapters left. Please review, favorite, and follow.

I woke up to the sound of hushed whispering. My eyes felt glued shut, When I opened them they were unbelievably heavy with the weight of my eye boogers. When I looked around, the sight I saw made me want to crawl back in bed. The room was full of women who were all staring at me. "Princess, we are holding the funeral today for all of the women that were lost." That made me sit up. "When" I asked as I rubbed the grit out of my eyes. "In a few hours. We came to see if you needed some assistance, after all you were asleep for so long."

She gestured around the room at all the other women in the room. I was about to explain that I really didn't need help but then a very strong women lifted me up and carried me into the large bathroom. There she proceeded to undress me and then placed me inside the tub. She turned on the faucet and grabbed a luffa. I took it away from her. "Thanks, but really I can handle it. Please leave." I washed my body with a frown on my face. I was annoyed at how pushy I had to be with her, but I mean really did she have to carry me in here? I was a grown women and I didn't need any assistance with anything whatsoever.

While I was in the tub another woman came in with an outfit draped over her arm. She placed it on the chair that was in the bathroom. It was a very pretty dress it was a cobalt blue color. It was strapless and looked like it would hang to mid-thigh. There were some high heels that were underneath the chair. They were black stilettos. I didn't think that it was something that was necessarily appropriate for a funeral though. Also it wasn't mine. I finished rinsing my hair. I climbed out of the tub and wrapped a towel securely around myself. A completely different woman then before came in.

"Princess, I am here to dress you." She picked the dress up and went to approach me. I was starting to get a headache, "look I can dress myself. The dress that you are holding isn't one of mine." She took a few steps away from me like I had shouted at her, her reaction made me feel like a heel. "Princess, we just want to show you are affection and appreciation. That is why we are trying to help with everything that we can. We all thought that this dress would be the prettiest, but if you don't like it we can get you another." Now I felt about 2 feet tall. "No that's fine, I will wear it but I really don't need your help. Thank you for the offer and the dress though." She bowed and backed out of the room. I brushed my hair with the brush that was located on the counter. Then I put the dress on it fit perfectly and it was very flattering. My favorite thing about it was that then necklace that Ace gave me was in clear view. I rubbed it with a finger. Soon I thought I would be able to see him. I patted the necklace fondly. I left the bathroom, but was instantly surrounded women again. They held me still and placed the circlet upon my head.

They then escorted me back to the town where so many lost their lives. There was a remarkable amount done in such a short time. There were several graves dug and thousands of flowers were everywhere. There was a woman who was in charge of the eulogy. She was going to tell us who was lost and a little bit about each person. We would then have a moment of silence for that person. As she said a name and gave a little bit of information about that person. The body was then placed in a grave, then the two women would come back and pick up another body. It was the saddest thing that I had ever seen. I felt the tears stream down my face. As more bodies were put in the graves more of the women from the crowd, and some men too, began helping. They would help with shoveling the dirt onto the graves. The children began placing the flowers on the now covered graves. I stood up and helped. We all sweated and worked as one. It was something that this community needed- the togetherness after such a loss. The rest of that evening we spent together, the island as a whole. We helped each other, we provided comfort and caring to each other.

The next day we gathered up a meeting with the most important people who lived on the island. We assigned positions for leadership. Each village would elect their own leader. They established their own government. They wanted me to stay on as their queen. I politely declined, I explained that my dream was now to be free. I would never do anything that I didn't want ever again. That would be my dream. While we were in our meeting we received some shocking news from the Marine base. We had some women stationed there in case we received some news about more marine's coming. They contacted us through the den den mushi, "Princess, we have some terrible news. Fire Fist Ace has been captured by the World Government. They are holding him at Impel Down, and there will be a public execution in 7 days at Marineford."

My world shattered. I was no longer in the meeting. I didn't know if I said any type of goodbye or if I just left all I know was that I had to get there, as fast as possible. I ran to the beach and through myself into the water. "Tiny! Tiny where is Impel down? How far is it from here? How fast can you get there?" Tiny popped his head up out of the water. "Princess the underwater prison is very far from here. It will take several days and much effort to get there." My vision was blurring from my tears, "please Tiny how many days?" Tiny let his head droop. "Maybe 6 if we hurry." I nodded okay. I used my powers and ran across the water. I ran as long and as far as I could. Tiny was swimming next to me keeping pace with me as I ran. As fast as I ran it was very slow swimming for Tiny which was a good thing. He could rest while I ran, and then I could collapse on him and have him swim as fast as he could. I rested my hands on the top of my head my lungs were burning and my legs were like jello.

Tiny was napping in the distance I could see him; I know that if my powers failed me at least I could swim that far. When I reached him I collapsed on his back. When I woke up again I didn't see any familiar sights. We were by a new island, "Princess you need to go ashore and get water for yourself." I nodded at the logic, I went ashore and drank as much water as I could fit into my stomach. I stole a barrel and filled it with some water. I saw that there was a ship at the harbor and it wasn't guarded, a ship could move faster than me running. I commandeered the boat and began traveling as fast as I possibly could. I already lost a day I needed to get there in the next 5 days but hopefully sooner. I want to break him out of that awful place. I traveled pretty far when Tiny had summoned up a lot of sea king buddies. They were going to help I tied some ropes to the boats and threw them out into the water. The sea kings bit the ropes and pulled me it increased my speed. As fast as I was going it felt like I wasn't moving at all. That time was moving so slow, I could hear my poor heart pitter pattering as we drew closer.

Law's point of view:

I was sitting on the neighboring island of Luelan. I was at some crummy bar. The glare that I was giving the rest of the customers had made them all remember about their previous engagements that they had. The place was pretty much empty except the crew. We were all grumpy we all wanted Celina to be back with us, where she belonged. We had all sat here drinking away our sorrow for the past few days. We were confident of Celina's abilities but I know for a fact that we all wanted to be there. We wanted to help her but she was very adamant that she wanted to do this on her own. A man burst into the bar. "Did you hear? Did you hear about Fire Fist Ace? He's been captured!" I squeezed my glass too hard and I felt it shatter in my hand. The newcomer finally noticed that he wasn't alone in the bar. I beckoned to him with a finger. "Come on over here, I would like to hear all about this." After I made the man explain everything that he knew. I knew that Celina wouldn't be coming to this island, she would already be on her way to rescue Ace. As much as I disliked the guy, I would help Celina, if she needed my help. We all got into the sub. "Full speed ahead Bepo go to Marineford." Bepo nodded "what about Impel Down?" I shook my head, "no my gut feeling says Impel Down.

Celina's point of view: It was the day of the execution. I was hoping that they hadn't moved Ace yet. I was almost there, "please hold on Ace." I hoped somehow my words would travel on the wind and make it to him. When we got closer to Impel Down I had the sea kings let the ropes go. I just left the boat drifting out at sea. I saw that the boat that Ace was on was already on route. I jumped off of the boat into the water. I climbed onto Tiny and he started swimming toward the boat as fast as he could. He was exhausted though and it had affected his speed. I couldn't blame him though. I mean without the help of him and the other sea kings I wouldn't have been able to make it here as fast I did. I could feel Tiny huffing and puffing underneath me. I patted him on the side and slid off. "Thanks for your help buddy." I gave Tiny another pat as I swam following the boat, it was now a good distance away. I summoned my powers around me. I would get there as soon as I could. When I got there I noticed that the battle had already started.

Ace was on a platform at the front of the battle. He was beat up and dirty. Next to him were two armed marines and admiral Sengoku. I pulled myself up onto the ice ledge. I noticed that Mihawk was there, I felt some disappointment rise up, I hated that someone who I had always admired and respected was on the opposite side of me in a fight. A beam of ice was shot at me by Aokiji I blocked it with some water. I ran forward and saw that the Whitebeard pirates were already here ready and willing to die for one of their own. I nodded to Marco as I ran past him. A pacifista shot a beam of light at me. I ducked and rolled. I snapped my fingers and summoned up some warriors which Aokiji just froze each one that I summoned up. I had to use more power to break the ice and have my warriors continue on. They offered back up assistance to the White beard pirates. I ran forward and watched a ship came hurtling out of the sky. I watched as it was about to land in ice. I didn't know if it was friend or foe, but I used my powers to break the ice up. The ship landed even though there was no ice the ship still broke apart. I couldn't think about that right now. I had to get to Ace.

Aokiji hit me with an ice attack. I felt it hit my arm. I grabbed it with my other hand. It was a ridiculous amount of pain that was shooting through all my nerves. I was being attacked by a huge Marine with a hammer to my right and Aokiji was approaching me from my left. My arm was still frozen and I wasn't able to do anything with it. I snapped with my right hand and watched with horror as I noticed that all the water that was close to me was covered in ice. I pushed with all my power but the ice wasn't breaking. I then noticed that Aokiji was applying layer after layer of ice as he was approaching me. I was panicking I kicked out to the marine with the hammer. I kicked him in the thigh. He swung his hammer down at me hitting me in the shoulder. I screamed when I looked up the marine with the hammer went to swing it at my head. If he connected that would be the end. I looked up at Ace he was screaming and their were tears running down his face, I never wanted to see him cry. I gave him a smile albeit it was a small one but it was still a smile.

Then the marine in front of me was cut into two. His internal organs falling out onto my head, Mihawk kicked the corpse away from me and brought his sword up. I rolled away he brought it down at the perfect time to block Aokiji's ice attack that had been aimed at me. Mihawk made it look like he was attempting to attack me. He turned aournd and pretended to attack me again but he lifted me up and I ran off again. I used one final push with my power and the water finally cracked. I saw that Mihawk was now battling a young boy. He was jumping out of the way and dodging Mihawk's attack. Vice admiral Garp was now battling that boy. I watched as his fist stretched back and he hit the Vice Admiral. I summoned a lot of water warriors. I rushed forward and my commander through me up onto the platform. I grabbed onto Ace and pulled him off the platform my commander caught him and started running. "Get him to the water!" I was screaming. Admiral Sengoku went to attack me but the little rubber guy blocked his attack. "Thanks" I yelled at him. "That's my brother" he yelled back at me. Once he had blocked the attack he ran along side of me.

One of the marines that had been on the platform was standing up. He was rubbing his head because he was thrown when Sengoku had attacked. "Mr. 3" yelled the rubber guy. He rushed over to the guy and said can you make a key that will fit Ace's cuffs? I hurriedly had my Commander bring Ace back and set hi in front of this Mr. 3 character. Then I noticed something awful, Admiral Akainu was coming toward us the molten magma was flowing down from his hands. It was burning the ground as he was walking. He had an evil grin on his face. "Stall him" yelled Mr. 3. I summoned up some more water warriors as many as I could in the few moments that it took before Akainu was in striking distance. I blocked myself with some water. It burnt the water where it touched creating a thick wave of steam. The steam burnt where it touched me. I hissed and pulled back. My warriors rushed forward just in time for me to notice that Ace's handcuffs were now off. I ran over and grabbed his hand. I grabbed Ace's brother's hand too. I ran all of is toward the water. If I could get him to the water I could save Ace, and get his little brother out of harms way too.

Then I hissed in pain. I dropped the boy's hands. Ace turned and looked as did his brother. Akainu had thrown a ball of magma at me and it had hit me right in-between the shoulder blades. The pain was so intense. I could barely breath, I summoned water to me wrapping it around me. Having the water cool my burn. The burn was intense enough that it created even more steam. No it was hard to see a foot in front of our faces. Ace's little brother was bending over and picking something up. Then bam I was hit and on the ground. I was being frozen solid against the burning hot ground. I screamed again as the pain was so intense. Ace was looking at me and then there was a fist of magma coming through his chest. He looked down and his face lost all the color too it. "ACE! NO! God no!" Ace's brother dropped to his knees his mouth fell open and his eyes died. A fish man came and grabbed Luffy and threw him over his shoulder. White Beard came forward and used his power causing Akojij ice ray was interrupted and I was on my knees besides Ace before anyone could blink. "Ace, no. Why? This wasn't supposed to happen I was supposed to get here in time to help you. I would have saved you. I still will save you. Is there a doctor here? Someone please help him. Please!" I was sobbing uncontrollably next to him. Ace patted my shoulder. "Celina, I'm done for. Look after Luffy make sure he gets out of this hellhole alive. Don't ever blame yourself either. I was always happy that you loved me even though my father was Gol D, Roger. I want you to be happy and follow your dreams."

I kissed him and I felt his last breath hit my lips. My tears dropped on his face. I felt my body being lifted up and thrown. I was crying to hard but my eyes were blurry. I look up and saw that I was now on Jimbe's other shoulder. Marco picked me up and thrown me. I watched over Jimbe's shoulder as White beard died. My heart broke even more if that was possible. Through the shouts of men and women dying I heard "Celina-ya." I looked back over Jimbe's shoulder. I saw a yellow submarine peeking put through the ships and ice. On board with the main door open was Law. I couldn't make out his face with my blurry vision but I could tell it was him by the hat. "Jimbe over there. He will help us. I noticed that Luffy and Jimbe were very hurt and damaged. I saw that Luffy had a wound a lot like Ace's as I thought about Ace my mind replayed his death. Then it replayed again. I felt myself being tossed to Law. I felt him move me to Bepo, I could tell because of the soft fur against my face. I snuggled deep into his fur. I screamed out my loss and frustration into the fluffy chest. Bepo wrapped his arms around me. He rocked me back and forth trying to comfort me, when he did that it scraped the severe burn on my back and my arm. I fainted into the warm arms that were holding me. I did hear some shouting though. "Celina! Captain, she's hurt."

I wanted to comfort them and let them know that I was okay, but I wasn't my heart was hurt, I lost Ace and it was all my fault. I woke up the next morning. I wasn't sure where I was. I didn't lift my head; my body was unbelievably sore. I looked down and saw that my entire left arm was in a cast. I stared at it trying to piece together what had happened. Did I hurt it on Luelan? I didn't remember getting injured enough to need an entire cast on my arm. I sat up and felt pain everywhere but mostly on my back. It was on fire the pain was so intense. What had happened? I looked around and recognized where I was. I was in Law's office. I was on a medical bed though. That was odd, when did I get back on the sub? The door opened and Law came inside. At that moment I realized that I was naked. I covered my chest.

That action made Law roll his eyes. He came over to me and adjusted the iv that was attached on my wrist. He applied some medicine to it. "How are you feeling Celina-ya?" He was monitering some machines that I was hooked up to. He wrote something down on a clipboard. "I'm sore Law, I am not sure why?" He raised his eyebrow up at me. "You don't know why you are sore? You don't remember what happened to you yesterday?" I shook my head, but I was becoming worried. Law's face was sympathetic. He never showed sympathy unless something was very very wrong. "What happened Law?" He walked over to me and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "Celina-ya, just think on it. You will remember everything." He gave me another kiss on the forehead. "Just remember that I am here for you.

Just call for me, I am looking after Jimbe and Luffy too, they are in the infirmary. They are very damaged." Who was Luffy? I know who Jimbe was. I watched as Law left, I thought about the past few days. I got a blinding headache. I relaxed and closed my eyes. I thought back and I rememberd sitting in a meeting. Then I got some bad news. Bad news about Ace. What happened to Ace? I remembered I needed to hurry. I rushed and I used all the energy that I possessed to get to him. Then there was White Beard and the crew. He died I thought about it as my tears fell from my eyes. I would miss that man terribly. He was like a father to me and I loved him, but there was more something that I was missing. I scooted trying to get comfortable which caused a shooting pain to flare in my back. That pain seemed to be connected to my mind, it conjured up images of magma and heat. There was steam everywhere, and then Ace. Then there was a fist pushed through Ace's chest. I felt my heart ache as my eyes shot open. "NO!" I screamed.

I pulled out my IV and all the other wires that were connected to me. Bepo rushed in. He tried to make me stay in bed but I waved him off. I threw off the blankets but I was still naked, I didn't care about that. "Celina please lay back down." I pushed past Bepo. Who grabbed the blanket and threw it over my shoulders. I wrapped it around me, I rushed into the infirmary and I saw that Ace's brother was asleep and really was damaged. I saw that Jimbe was in the bed next to Luffy. I walked over to Luffy, and I sat down on the bed next to him. My tears were running down my face and they landed on poor Luffy. I felt so bad it was all my fault. If I would have been a little faster, or a little stronger I could have saved Ace. I held Luffy's hand. I have never met this boy, and I didn't think he knew about me. I know that I felt very connected with him at this moment. I sat there just holding this boys hand, until I cried myself out. I looked up to see the entire crew of the Heart Pirates were in the doorway. They were all offering me their support. Law was at the forefront of the group. I stood up and shuffled over to them. I was enveloped into one of the best group hugs known to mankind.

Law picked me up bridal style and carried me back to the office. He carried me into his bedroom and placed me onto his bed. I cried into his pillows. Until I fell into a fitful sleep. I dream and relived Ace's death over and over again throughout the night.
