As soon as the low voice of the captain was hear, the pirate let her fall. Her eyes landed on the captain. He was not just angry, he was far more than that. The eyes were slightly open, but enough to see Daniel shaking. It was strange, but the smile grew even wider way she heard him trying to find an excuse. She could see the fire burning in his red eye while he walked slowly to the man in front of Leah. Rage- a burning rage- was running in his a single blow, Jack sent the other male on the floor, he didn't need to be told twice to leave. As soon as both of them heard the door close, Leah said,
"Your first mate seems to be annoyed. Why haven't you said anything yet ?"
Sometimes, Jack was hard to understand. He could be the worst at time and a second later, he could be a real prince. They were so different, but they completed each other in a way no one could ever understand. For some unknown reason, Jack was always able to see right through Leah even when no one can see a single thing. While she could see the truth behind all his lies. Maybe, just maybe, in another life, they would have been happy. Maybe in another life, where Jack and Whitebeard weren't pirates, then they could have been together. But, they were living this life. A life where Jack and Whitebeard were fighting each other for the same thing : the greatest treasure of the world. This little thought made the girl think about something.
"You know, greed is the only sin I don't understand. Why does everyone want everything when they'll have nothing at the very end ?"
Jack stared at you thinking about what you said. It didn't take long before he understood what you meant. The cell was still open, but since she didn't make any move to escape, the two stayed there, silently looking at each other. No one dared to open the room after. They were soul mates, but not lovers.
The air was heavy. The atmosphere filled with worried, anxiousness and fear. Everyone waited, stared at the endless sea. Everyone waited to see a sight of their beloved Leah, but there was nothing. Patience was running thin, but no one had any idea of what happen to her. The Whitebeard family almost lost two members, they didn't need to lose one. Especially not now... Not ever. The first one to lose patience was Leah's best friend, Haruta. He was beyond anxious and stressed. Hell, even the sound of a mere fly was enough to make him lose his nerves. He was about to ask his father to send him to search for her. But before the 12th commander could go to Whitebeard, Marco stopped him.
"Everyone's feeling the same. All we can do is wait for her return."
Of course he knew, but he needed to know where she was. What happen, how she was doing... What if the worst happens ? He really didn't need someone to stop him from looking for his best friend. The only thing he could remember right now was when she came back from a mission three years ago. And never, ever again, he wanted to see Leah like that. So they could say anything they wanted but he would go and look for her. But Whitebeard is a wise man. He knew all too well what was going in his son's mind. The captain knew he should interfere, yet, he gave the order to Haruta to go to Avalon and find as much as information he could. But, he didn't send the 12th commander go all alone. Everyone in the 12 division that was healthy enough was sent with their commander. Also, Marco decided to join. After all, Marco was probably the least injured for the moment, thanks for his devil fruit. They left the following day after the breakfast. Now, the only thing the crew could do was hope. Hope that everyone will be safe and sound.
Leah was in the room. The captain had left a few hours ago. The female lost track of time after two days of being there. She stopped counting how many times the sun had set to let the moon lit the cell. Sometimes, she would think about her past. It was still a mystery that she was still there. Still alive... How many times had she cheated death ? Well, when after eating the reaper-reaper fruit, then cheating death is a little easy. Some people would say it's one of the most powerful devil fruits. But so little is known about it that people say it's just a legend. Well, who wouldn't ? The power to be a soul reaper, being able to kill someone with just a touch...Just another rumor, no ? But great power come with a heavy price. Equivalent exchange some would say. There were so many secrets. Only the one who ate the fruit before knows all of them. But, pop was old and he knew a lot of things. Did he know about them too ? She guessed he knew some secrets but not the darkest one. Also, she told him about the scythe, only soul reaper can hold it or the person holding it dies. But, how much did he actually knows ? When she'll get back she'll ask. Leah decided to lie on the floor and sleep a little. For now, rest would be really appreciate now. The door open silently, while the white haired man enter. It didn't go unnoticed by the almost sleeping girl who mumble something that only the captain heard.
"Soul reaper can die. But death itself is immortal. Isn't it a funny thought ?"
I know I didn't write for a long time. I'm really sorry. It's just that in that time of the year, there's a lot of things. But now I'm back !
