"Zehaha! Did you really think I died, Julius?! As if I'd ever die! [Yes, but where are you then?] I cannot disclose that, as we're being wiretapped." Blackbeard practically yelled into his Dem-Dem Mushi. Teech crafted a comb out of rocks, to make sure his hair is immaculate for the reunification of his crew. Julius slowly put the speaker down, after sighing at Teech's stupidity. He slowly twirled the poor snail; twisting it in ways that should be impossible. The man called Julius has long, feminine fingers, that allowed him to warp his surroundings, with the Space-Space Fruit. The Space-Space Fruit allows the user to bend Space to their will, and when awakened, the user can pass through solid objects or turn into nothingness and reappear somewhere else by taking the place of another collection of nothingness, as long as a gas or liquid isn't in the user's destination. A soothing, chilling breeze of snow came drizzling down onto the broken, drought sandstone of the coast of Vetova. Surrounding the coast are cliffs of impressive statue; tall enough that you can't see the top from the sea. In preparation for the 800th year Anniversary of Vetova's Liberation. Archaic, soothing patterns lit up the cliffs, with the ice accentuating the pendant's moon and sun symbols.
Meanwhile, at the Nacitav Hotel, Kami was panicking tremendously. Unbeknownst to her, Usopp had told Law, Luffy and Robin what he heard, resulting in panic amongst the 2 crews.
"She's a WHAT?!" The crews screamed in horror.
"But, that doesn't mean she's a Celestial Dragon. As far as I remember, this country abstained from joining the World Government," Robin reasoned with the Heart and Strawhat Pirates, "And instead focused on raising strong, independant warriors and Gladiators to help protect Vetova." Luffy frowned. Confused, Law elbowed his waist, to no avail. No matter how hard they tried, Luffy just kept frowning. Suddenly, after 5 minutes of trying, Luffy ran out of the hotel with his hands on his head and muttering loudly. Out of desperation, Luffy ran into her room, which was thankfully unlocked. On Kami's dishevelled bed, was a note.
"Follow this Vivre Card in 2 months. - Kami " Horrified, Luffy dropped to his knees, knowing full well that he let Kami run away. Clenching the paper closely, Luffy slowly cried, snot dripping down his nose onto his lips. Loud sobbing could be heard, which caused everyone to rush to where Luffy was. Law, who had seen this exact scene 2 years ago, knew that Luffy needed to let his anger out.
"Fight me, Strawhat-ya. I know you need it," Law started, before being interrupted repeatedly.
"Stop, Captain, what are you thinking?! Is this wise?!"
"I'd trust him," Zoro and Jinbei said to ease the disapproval of the Heart Pirates, "After all, Jinbei and Law probably knows what Luffy needs as well. Remember 2 years ago?!" Mortified, Shachi, Bepo, Jean Bart and the rest of the Heart Pirates quickly shut their mouths and the room became silent, other than the silent sobs. As Law and Luffy walked out of the room silently, with their crews following behind, Katakuri stayed behind to look after her belongings. To his dismay, Kami had taken everything. 'She really was determined to train, huh.'
"ROOM!" Law called out as the fight begun. Instinctively, Luffy threw his Haki-Coated fists at Law, causing Law to swap with a rock (that was blown up with the impact). As a result, despite Luffy's awakened form being in his place, to hide his anger at Kami, Law ran towards Luffy calling out, "Injection Shot!" It didn't hurt Luffy, and instead bounced back onto Law, causing him to be impaled in his right arm. Giggling, Luffy ran towards Law and pickpocketed his Sword, causing him to get angry and "Takt" his sword back. The sunset that dawned the sky of Vetova shone brightly, almost as a signal for how long the fight took.
As the sun shone brightly, with the moon settling down politely, Law and Luffy had both collapsed onto the ground, after 12 hours of constant back-and-forth fighting. Sometimes, during their fight, Luffy regretted asking Kami if she wanted to join his crew, as he went through all of this effort to save her, and she didn't hold her end of the bargain. It struck his mind.
"You don't think... Kami went to find Blackbeard?!" He suddenly yelled, alerting Law.
Riiiing. Riiiing. Clank.
"SSG Member - Lilith here! How can I help you? [Thank you for answering me (Kami answered, out of breath from running for a long time), can I ask Stella a.. question..?] Uh, who are you? (Kami covered her mouth and hushed,) [Kami.] Ohh, Kami! I remember Stella talking about you! Weren't you the person that damn Caesar Clown guy helped? Aren't you technically a... (she lowered her voice, almost cringing at her own words) Celestial Dragon? What do you want him for? [Yeah, he helped me 20 years ago, and no, as Vetova is not a part of the Government. I would be able to take part in the Reverie, however.] Well then, meet us at Egghead! Save this call for verification if needed." Lilith hung up after that statement. Kami slowly looked at her hand, as her legs kept running. 'Am I gonna even be Human anymore?!' Kami stopped suddenly.
"Origanoe!" Kami yelled out, before fabricating a small paper canoe to appear on the sea in front of her. Kami had been able to fly on a paper aeroplane for a short distance, before needing to take a quick break. Because her Devil Fruit was awakened, Kami could make entire islands that could withstand the energy of the sea. Kami got inside of the canoe and started to make her way to Egghead. 2 Months. 'I will see them in 2 months. Wait. What day is it even?!' Kami told herself, worryingly.
Kami woke up in a startling way. "It was a success, Kami-chan!" Vegapunk declared, almost laughing at her bewilderment. It had been 4 days since Kami had left Vetova, and 2 hours since she passed out on an island in the middle of nowhere.
"Also, you're gonna have to leave in a few hours. The World Government is after your butt!"
