The Marines had won, there was no doubt about it.

The pirates were retreating, Fire Fist Ace was dead, Whitebeard was about to die.

Yet, the marines were chasing the losers and slaughtering them without mercy, drunk with the excitement of the battle, leaving comrades behind.

The sight of a small group of injured pirates was magnified through the gunsight of your rifle.

You observed them for a few seconds, finger on the trigger. Then you quietly lowered your weapon.

The war was over.

You turned your back to the front and walked away.

«Hey, sniper! Why did you stop?! Go on, take down as many pirates as you can!»

It was a Rear Admiral you didn't know who yelled at you. His face was purple and he spitted an abnormal quantity of saliva.

You flipped him off.
His dilated pupils grew wider.

«How dare you...»

Not paying attention to him, you collected an abandoned coat from the ground and took a few more steps.

There it was, Fire Fist's lifeless body.

You covered it carefully, to protect him from the surrounding battle.

He may have been an enemy, but he was a brave young man. If so many pirates showed up to risk their life for him, he must have been something.

Even if you were far from the fleeing crews, a hostile movement had you flinch.

You hand immediately grabbed the rifle.

It was the Rear Admiral from before.

He was attacking you, lost in his bloodthirsty frenzy.

«What the fuck?!» you snapped, not sure how to react.

Could you shoot him down? Were you going to?

Luckily, dense smoke engulfed him before you could do anything, pushing him against the ground.

«Down, you idiot!» Smoker's coarse voice barked.

The Vice Admiral materialized between you and the attacker.

«Damn this war...»

«Thanks, Vice Admiral Smoker.»

He turned to you. His gaze moved from your face to Fire Fist's body, then back to your eyes.

«You truly are Aokiji's direct subordinate.»

And, despite everything, a stray smile crawled on your lips.





The doctor visited you and applied some of his magical unguents on your wounds.

At first your inner walls burnt a little, but a relieving feeling spread immediately after.

He also checked your other injuries and he looked satisfied.

«I'm impressed. You heal real fast.»

«Luckily.» you replied, putting your clothes back on.

Or what was left of them, anyway. You didn't have a bra anymore, for example.

You tried to climb down the sofa and walk around the cabin. It still hurt, but it was much better. You were slightly limping though.

The doctor chuckled, amused, and you deadpanned at him.
