"Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I wanted to tell you. Believe me, [Y/N]. I truly did."

"Then why didn't you?"

"I did not want to scare you."

"You didn't want to scare me?!" You scoffed. "I was scared shitless when I saw a man larger than me suddenly go rigid and move to my own will! Why didn't you tell me that blood-bending was part of my powers, Raava?" You asked. Raava sighed.

"There is something I have to confess to you." She said. You sighed.

"Oh great. Is it the fact that I can soul bend? Cause that would be great to know!" You shouted, your voice laced with sarcasm. Raava looked down. She knew that she had let you down and you had every right to be upset with her.

"The last person I made a contract with, I told her about the blood-bending. She became obsessed with the idea of bending others to their will by just their blood. She abused the power of blood-bending. She was going to bend the whole world to her will, so I had to stop her," blue tears fell from Raava's eyes. "I invaded her body. Her body and soul could not handle the immense power, and she shriveled up and died. Quite literally." She looked at you. You shivered are this knowledge. "I didn't want to tell you about the blood-bending right away. I feared you would be the same as she was. Power hungry. I wanted you to find out for yourself so that you would understand how powerful and how dangerous blood blending could be." She explained. You looked at the spirit of light.

"This woman. What was her name?" You asked.

"Her name, was Hama." Raava said. You sighed and looked down.

"I understand your reasoning for not telling me immediately about blood-bending," you looked up at her again. "Is there anything else I should know?" You asked. Raava closed her eyes.

"There is one other thing," she said and opened her eyes. "It is called The Avatar State. It is a state someone who is granted my powers enters when they are under a great deal of stress, their life is in danger or they are extremely emotional," her eyes flashed white. White light invaded your line of vision. Then, you saw the figure of a person. It was you. Your eyes were glowing white. Pure white. A ball of air circled around in your hands. Inside the ball of air were the other elements. Water, earth and fire. "In the Avatar State, you are at your most powerful, but you are also at your most vulnerable." The voice of Raava cut through and the vision ended. "In the Avatar State, it is almost impossible for another person to reach you. You are in a complete state of rage and anger. If not mastered, the Avatar State can cause more harm than good." Raava explained. You sighed.

"I-I'm not sure if I want that power." You said. Raava smiled gently.

"The Avatar State is also the very thing that can save Ace. As well as Whitebeard." Raava said. You looked at her. "If mastered correctly, then you will be able to use that power to save the two you love." She said. You sighed.

"Can you teach me?" You asked. Raava smiled.

"In time. For now, I think it is best if you wake up. Your friends are waiting." She said. And with that, Raava vanished.

~~~~~~~~

It had been a few days since the Marines attacked and [Y/N] blood-bended the Marine Captain. They stayed in their room, never coming out, thinking that they were dangerous. Ace sighed as he stared at your closed door.

"You're worried about them as well, aren't you?" A familiar voice asked. Ace looked behind him and saw Marco. Ace looked back at the closed door.

"How could I not be? They've stayed in there ever since it happened. The only time they comes out is to eat or use the bathroom. And even when they do eat, they don't eat with the rest of us like they used to." He said. Marco sighed. He understood his friend's pain. He to was worried about the person he had fallen in love with.

"The best thing we can do is give them some time. What happened was pretty scary. They told me that blood-bending is something that is very hard to achieve. Only the most skilled water users of their village were able to use and control blood bending." Marco explained.

"Blood bending," Ace murmured. He shivered. "Even the name gives me the chills!" He said. Marco smiled slightly. Ace then smiled. "Wait! I got it!" He shouted. Marco looked at him, confused.

"Hm? Got what?" He asked. Ace turned to face Marco.

"Why don't we throw a party for [Y/N]! We can show them that we still love them even after what happened!" He shouted, excited. Marco put his finger to his chin in thought.

"Hmm. That could work." He gasped as Ace got up in his face, smiling.

"It will work!" He shouted and ran off. Marco frowned.

"Where are you going?" Marco asked. Ace looked behind him, still running.

"I'm going to go talk to Pops about this!" He shouted. Marco sighed and shook his head. He walked over to your door and knocked.

"[Y/N]?"

~~~~~~

You opened your eyes as someone knocked.

"[Y/N]?" A familiar voice called out. Nozomu's head perked up. "[Y/N], I'm coming in." The person warned. The door opened and Marco stepped in. You sat up, taking Nozomu and placing her in your lap. For the first time since the incident, you looked at Marco.

"Can I help you, Marco?" You asked. Marco smiled.

"I just wanted to let you know that you should wear something nice tonight." He said. You looked at him, confused.

"Why?" You asked. Marco smiled and winked.

"It's a secret." He said and walked out, closing the door behind him.

~~~~~

An hour later, another knock resounded on your door.

"Come in." You called. Thatch walked in. He stopped, his breath was taken away by you. You wore a very nice outfit, an outfit you had bought with him when the crew had stopped at the island for supplies. You smiled at Thatch. "I heard there was a surprise for me?" You asked. Thatch snapped out of his trance and smiled.

"There is," he held out his arm. "May I escort you?" Thatch asked. You smiled and took his arm. Nozomu leapt from your bed onto your shoulder. Thatch lead you out of your room to the main deck. You gasped at what you saw. Rows of food were lined up near the railings. There were tons of lanterns that were lit, creating a lovely atmosphere. Marco and Ace walked up.

"We wanted to show you that we still love you. Even if you have an ability like blood bending." Ace said, smiling. Tears built up in your eyes and you smiled, brushing them away. Whitebeard smiled at you.

"[Y/N], my dear. You are my child. And as your Pops, I promise to love you with everything I have, no matter who or what you are. Powers or no powers." He said. Thatch took your hand.

"Now, let's get this party started!" He shouted. Music started playing and Thatch pulled your into a dance, one hand on your waist and the other holding your hand. You laughed as the two of you moved around the deck. Ace snuck in and stole you from Thatch. You laughed as Ace shot a funny face at Thatch. He stopped. You looked at him.

"There's something I wanted to try, if that's alright with you." You said. Ace smiled.

"What do you have in mind?" He asked. You whispered your idea in his ear. He smirked and nodded. You both bowed to each other and began your dance.

A crowd formed around you as you and Ace picked up the pace. You glanced around.

"A-Ace, everyone's watching." You said nervously. Ace smiled at you.

"Don't worry about them. It's just you and me right now." He said. You blushed lightly and smiled at him, continuing the dance. As soon as the music stopped, Ace dipped you. The crowd erupted into cheers and clapping. You both stared into each other's eyes, smiling and breathing hard. Ace pulled you up and brought you into a hug.

"I love you." He murmured. You heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by 'I love you?' Did he mean he loved you as a lover or did he mean as a friend? You decided not to think too hard on it and enjoy the moment. You buried your face in Ace's neck, closing your eyes.

"I-I love you to, Ace." You whispered. You could feel Ace smiling a bit. This had been the best day of your life. But the worst was yet to come. In just a few hours after the party, Thatch's life would be taken and it would be up to you to save him.

Coming Up

"Teach, please, it doesn't have to end like this."

"You traitor!"

"Shh, don't talk. Save your strength,"

"T-Take care of Pops for me, [Y/N],"

"M-Make sure Ace and Marco stay out of trouble."

"I love you."
