Ghost.
Request from XxFire-PhoenixxX: could you make one where they meet ghost megumi?
Ace blinked a few times eyes wide looking on the verge of tears, they had buried her body months ago and now as they stood in her childhood room the white ghostly figure of Akiyama Megumi hovered in front of them.
"How have you both been?" The ghost ask gentle smile on her face.
She had died during the war, they both saw her die she saved Luffy… Aces younger brother she threw herself in front of the attack. Leaving them both to raise a son on their own, "You…." Ace questioned tears in his eyes.
"Hey," She laughed her smile softened slightly, "It's ok. I saved Luffy and that made me happy."
"Ghosts don't stay unless they have unfinished business, just like your elementals Megumi, yoi," Marco stated.
"The outcome of the war?" She asked.
Both of their faces fell slightly, thinking of how the war ended they lost, they lost Pops and their power in the New World. "We lost… Teach came with his crew…. And killed him…. Shanks came and stopped the war," Marco answered.
"And Luffy?" The ghost questioned her.
"We don't know, we haven't heard from him expect when he rang the bell at Marineford three months ago," Ace sighed.
"Edward…?" She questioned again asking about their son.
"He's ok…" Aces tears slipped down his face as he watched the white figure shift slightly stepping towards him, "He won't remember his mum at all…. It's not fair that he won't remember you at all."
She smiled again shaking her head, "It's fine… he has you two and the rest of the crew."
"No female to understand how to take care of a child, yoi," Marco stated.
Megumi laughed softly, "You will both do fine… I promise you… you both need to move on, you both not being able to let go is what is keeping me here."
"How can we let go," Ace argued stepping towards her practically going through her, "You meant so much to use… both and you died protecting my brother that's what I was meant to do."
"No, then the marines would of got what they wanted," She stated.
"NO!" Ace shouted.
Megumi sighed rolling her eyes glancing at Marco, "Will you?"
Marco nodded his head and slammed his hand down onto the back of Aces head, "You are happy…. Nothing that you wanted to do, yoi?" He asked her.
Megumi only nodded her head, "Nothing… well Edward I am worried about him but I know you will both do fine with him."
Marco nodded his head, "We buried you next to Pops…. That ok?"
"Perfect," She smiled.
"I love you and I'm sorry, but I will always remember you," Ace murmured.
Her ghost hand brushed over his cheek and Megumi only smiled softly, "I know you will and I will wait for you."
Those will be her last words to him for years, Ace fell to his knees, "This is my fault…." He murmured.
"No, she's happy, yoi," Marco told her, "That's what matters."
