Opposites Attract

Sweet Dreams and Vivid Nightmares

Author Rambles:

It's been forever and a day since I added to this story! My writer's block been hitting me hard so hopefully the plot is decent and everyone enjoys the ride. I made triple sure to set the tone for the next chapter. I can picture what's gonna happen already! I think. But from here on out it's all my imagination.. wink.

I thank the man, the myth, the legend Eiichiro Oda for being a literal G O A T and creating such a wonderful story that we all know and love called One Piece. Now onto my mediocre version of his amazing story!

                                         ~ O.A ~

Sabaody Archipelago resumed operations with bated breath after the incident at Grove twenty-four.

Dozens of citizens and various visitors from the island reported mass cases of fainting with no solid answers as to how it happened or why.

Many people blamed the pirates who currently occupied the mangroves at an alarming rate.

It was some kind of unofficial gathering since all of the infamous Worst Generation were on the cluster of islands, along with the average influx of pirates who were trying to stock up at the final pit stop in Paradise.

There was only so much the few Navy soldiers and Celestial Dragon's detail stationed on the mangrove could do to keep the peace.

An air of uncertainty weighted heavily over Shakky's Rip-off bar after hearing the World Government prepared to execute the second commander of the Whitebeard pirates, Portgas D. Ace.

Newspapers were still hot off the press when eager hands snatched it from newsstands and gobbled up its juicy deceit. There published in black and white and spanning almost four pages, read a thrilling battle between darkness and fire.

Surely it was a misprint or perhaps a blatant lie because Ina refused to believe Blackbeard, the fat slime ball that he was, defeated her brother fair and square.

Regardless of her opinion, the world continued to spin and the World Government stamped their approval on a Den-Den publicly televised execution.

Real classy.

Ina took the news hard and nearly took out an entire grove of people in her initial shock. People were mysteriously dropping like flies- that is if you didn't understand how Haki worked.

Granted the average person didn't, (Ina was struggling to understand the concept herself) the aftermath made for a haunting sight to first responders.

Rayleigh and Shakky were the only survivors of the emotional attack and both were stumped as to why Ina reacted so drastically.

How close was she to this doomed pirate to let her Haki violently spaz out of control and hurt so many people?

A better question; How did Ina muster up such a powerful attack untrained as she was?

What kind of powerhouse would she become if she mastered her Haki?

Days after the attack Rayleigh could still feel the invisible ropes of despair gnawing at him. It took a lot of energy for Ina to release the assault and the consequences were costly.

She slept for four days straight unaware to the fact that Shakky was stress smoking two packs a day and Rayleigh's hair was turning whiter, if that was even possible.

The substitute parents were worried. Should they wake Ina up or let her body naturally heal itself?

It was unnatural for someone to sleep for so long. Did she need food? What about using the bathroom?
