Chapter Fifty Five
Luffy was gripping my hand as we stood side by side. Everyone was around us as the very sea seemed to be at war with itself. Power seared through the air as the very world acted as if it was fighting itself. My fingers gripped his tightly as the sky darkened as if night had fallen when it was actually supposed to be mid day. The sun and the moon were sitting in the sky together and seemed as if they were equal in shape for once. My heart raced like a thousand wolves chasing prey. It was beginning. Law's arms were around my waist as Luna held my other hand. A deep shudder ran through me as my power responded to what was happening. If it wasn't for the natural magic of the island and the wards, we would most likely be under the sea. I didn't even turn around as Eustass shouted, "How long is this fucking thing supposed to take?"
"It's just begun," I answered as the area fell silent, "The walls are slowly falling. Soon the worlds shall merge,"
"What's with the sky?!" Someone shouted causing us to look up.
The sky seemed to be rippling like still water does when it is disturbed. The stars rippled and spun in the sky like flames in a fire. Bright flashes zoomed across the sky every few seconds like shooting stars with flames surrounding them visibly. It was awe inspiring to say the least, but I knew it was just the beginning. My heart began to race as I spotted it. It would appear as a star to most, but I knew what it was. Slowly, but surly it began to grow as the sky began to cycle through the colors of the rainbow. A small crack no larger than a baby's fingernail was slowly spreading. It was not long until the others could tell what it was. I felt their terror and amazement at what was occurring and couldn't begrudge them. Law's arms tightened as his fingers dug into the skin of my stomach through the thin shirt I wore. I spoke softly as all sound seemed to disappear around us save for a small, yet growing loud cracking sound, "The sky is cracking under the pressure of the sea. Soon we shall once again see our home. First the skies shall merge, then the seas, and finally the lands shall appear as the world is forced to grow larger."
A musical, yet terrible sound floated through the air as the crack grew larger. Like sounded of a mythical beast dying mixed with the sound of a gate slowly, but surly cracking, it echoed through the world. The world seemed to stop moving as the sound suddenly stopped when the crack had grown to the size of the Moby Dick. I tensed as tension filled me and someone shouted, "Is this it?"
"Everyone brace yourselves!" I shouted in return, "Hold your ground and keep yourselves steady. We're about to feel a great wave of pressure flow over us!"
I quickly sent my magic into the ground and forced it to be steady as a loud sound akin to glass breaking boomed through the area. A heart beat later, we were all struggling to stay standing as pressure fell over us in waves. I heard a few cry out as I tried to use my magic to help us stay up. The sky lit up as the crack expanded across the sky. When the pressure faded, we all stood tall with ease once again. I felt Luna tremble as Law's arm tightened yet again. I leaned into him as I realized that I too was trembling. Gasps were heard as the sky seemed to change before our very eyes once again. The sun larger as did the moon. Stars seemed to flow through the sky and new constellations formed. The night sky soon faded as the moon returned to it's rest once more. I heard multiple sighs of relief and even a, "Good. I'm glad that's over."
"It's not over yet," Surprisingly it was Luffy to say that.
"What do you mean?" Someone asked.
"More is yet to come," I answered with a slight smile directed towards Luffy, "The sky has finished, but so too must the sea and the land before all is finished,"
It was moments later that the sea seemed to still in it's rage. The scent of magic and spirits grew heavier in the air. The ocean slowly withdrew from the beach causing gasps to echo around me. Tundra growled as something began to tug at the core of my being. Drawing me towards the direction the ocean was heading towards. I could tell by Law's ever tightening embrace and the stiffening of Luffy's hand that they felt it as well. I released Luna's hand for a moment to reach up and brush my fingers against Law's cheek. The tension seemed to leave him and he lessened his grip. I re-linked my hand with Luna and closed my eyes as a sullen song echoed around us, calling to us, pleading for us to come home. It took everything in me to keep myself from moving and even more of my magic to keep the others still. The tugging feeling increased over and over, but never did we move. I sent my emotions towards the tugging feeling and felt a connection that I knew was between the sea and all devil fruit users. No words left me, only emotions that caused the tugging feeling to stop before finally relaxing. The sea lit up in the distance like a thousand tiny Christmas lights before surging forward. The sea slammed into the island and for the first time through the merging, it shook heavily. It was only my magic and the magic of those that had caught onto what I was doing that kept us all standing. The sea seemed to rage for a few moments before stilling. I breathed a sigh of relief even as I spotted the sea kings swimming around. Someone muttered, "Oh great now we have to worry about those things."
"At least we get to see mermaids," Someone said cheerfully.
I mentally giggled before speaking, "Alright just one more thing and the merging will be done."
"How exactly is it supposed to work anyway?" Nami asked causing me to hum.
"I believe that the island's are going to drop from the sky or something," I shrugged as most looked at me like I was crazy, "Why the fuck do you think that you guys fell from the sky?"
Law with drew one of his arms to lightly tap my nose. I went crossed eyed as he did so, "Please don't freak them out more than normal."
"If I didn't freak them out more than normal, they would relax and that's bad," I complained causing snorts and snickers.
"Evil," Someone muttered causing me to turn and do the mature thing, stick my tongue out at them and blow a raspberry.
Laughter rang through the air as the tension disappeared especially when I said, "I'm a sadist remember?"
Law's fingers ran across the mark on my cheek prompting me to look at him. His eyes held amusement at the way I acted and respect for the fact I had distracted everyone from what was occurring. I leaned into the contact as Luna let go of my hand. She smiled at me as I turned my gaze towards her and moved towards Draco. I offered the male a warning look causing him to nod as he wrapped his arms around Luna. He knew that even if I was okay with their relationship, he had to be careful around me. Luna was after all special to me. I took Law's hand in my now free one and relished in the contact. It was only moments later that the final stage of the merging began. Islands floated down from the sky like the ships had done last year. They fell all around the world and fit smoothly into the now much larger world. It only took an hour for the process to finish and was less spectacular than the first two parts, but it had to be the most difficult for the spirits to accomplish. Luffy grinned from ear to ear as he shouted, "IT'S DONE! LET'S PARTY!"
Cheers echoed around us as many headed towards the castle. I shook my head as Luffy let my hand go to bother Sanji about a feast. I ran a hand through my hair as Law stood behind me. My eyes went to the sky as a smile slowly appeared on my face. The magic of the world was much more balanced and the harmony of it all could be seen as I looked around. Peace filled me and I breathed a sigh on contentment causing Law to ask, "What are you so happy about?"
"The world feels whole once more and the magic of the world has begun to heal," I answer with a serene smile on my face, "What more could make me happier?"
"Us having our child and our family gather together," Law suggested causing me to whack him across the chest.
"Don't ruin it," I said causing him to chuckle.
The air smelt sweeter and fuller. The sun shone brighter as if it too had been healed. The world felt truly whole. I knew that we still had somethings that we needed to do, but soon I would be able to relax without a care in the world. Well...I still had to worry about my child, but that was a given.
End of chapter. Short, but more is coming soon. The merging has happened, so now we're going to see the Marines and you all are going to meet the Trafalgar siblings!
