Chapter 28
Kaede
"It seems you spoke the truth." Robin says and I nod.
"Well I was speaking from experience." I say.
"What are you doing here?" Luffy asks tilting his head slightly in confusion.
"I had to talk to Rayleigh about something." I say jabbing my thumb at Rayleigh.
"What'd you need from me?" Rayleigh asks and I smile before talking so only Rayleigh can hear me.
"Take care of Luffy for me. Can you train him as well in a bit?" I ask and Rayleigh sighs rubbing his forehead.
"You owe me one." He says and I smile. "When will you be back?"
"I'm aiming for two years," I say.
"See you in two years' time then kiddo." Rayleigh says and I turn to face Zoro.
"Don't miss me too much." I say smirking.
"I won't." Zoro scoffs looking away slightly and I swear I can see a small blush on his cheeks. I bundle over to him and plant a swift kiss on his cheek.
"How'd moss head get someone that gorgeous?" Sanji asks almost on the floor crying.
"He just made me fall for him." I say smiling and Zoro quickly places a kiss on my lips. I let out a chuckle before turning back around and I laugh at Robin's surprised face.
"How many different personas do you have?" Robin asks and I laugh.
"Four that the government documented and then my normal one." I say and she shakes her head.
"Your bounty's one hundred and thirty million, isn't it?" Usopp suddenly asks.
"Yeah, why you asking?" I ask.
"That means your girlfriend has a higher bounty than you Zoro." Usopp says and Sanji suddenly laughs.
"You're worse than your girlfriend when it comes to pirating moss head. Looks like you have work to do to catch up to her bounty wise." Sanji says laughing and pointing a finger at Zoro. To everyone's surprise me, Zoro, Luffy, Robin, Rayleigh, and even Law bursts out laughing.
"I don't think Roronoa Zoro can catch up to her bounty that easy." Law says.
"It'll take him multiple years and he'd have to cut down tons of famous people to get anywhere near her bounty." Rayleigh says and the rest of us nod in agreement.
"It's only a difference of ten million though." Chopper says confused.
"I'm afraid not Chopper. In total the difference is two billion four hundred and forty million. If we look at just her main one the difference is still one billion eight hundred and eighty million." Robin says and everyone's jaw drops.
"What's her main bounty?" Nami asks in a shaking voice and I change my appearance to one many know.
"Maybe this will help to determine my main bounty." I say and a collective gasp can be heard throughout the hall.
"Death's Tempest." Kidd says with a snarl.
"Oh, Rayleigh you need to keep your wife in check." I say looking at Rayleigh and he raises an eyebrow.
"What'd she say this time?" Rayleigh asks.
"When she found out that I was dating someone she asked me if it was Mr. Lipstick over there." I say pointing at Kid. "Who in their right mind would date Mr. Lipstick?" I ask ignoring Kid's glare.
(Don't mean to offend any Kidd fans out there (I am one myself actually) but it just fit here)
"I'll talk to her about it later but on a more important note. You're dating Roronoa Zoro, aren't you?" Rayleigh asks and I nod.
"Yeah," I say and Rayleigh turns his gaze onto Zoro.
"Roronoa don't you dare hurt her." Rayleigh says and I shake my head.
"I wouldn't ever think of doing that." Zoro says and I smile.
"Ah, Zoro." I say hugging him and placing another kiss on his cheek. "I've got to go now. More people to see. I'll see ya around."
"See ya." Zoro says and I teleport to the Moby Dick and making myself invisible again as soon as I appeared. I appeared next to a pacing Ace as the commanders and Whitebeard have a meeting or at least it appears that way. Ace continues to pace back and forward until I stick my foot out causing him to trip. The commanders stifle their laughter except for Marco and I grab Ace's hat before placing it on Marco's head since he was standing beside the place I had made Ace face plant at.
"Marco, did you trip me?" Ace asks with a dangerous glint in his eyes as he slowly stands up.
"I didn't yoi." Marco says and he hands Ace his hat back before turning to glare at me. I raise an eyebrow and step to the side to see Marco's eyes follow me. I step the other way and Marco's glare still follows me.
"Looks like the Phoenix also has the ability to see me," I say and everyone blinks at the mysterious voice.
"Gurarara appears so." Whitebeard says laughing and I smile at him.
"Looks like you raised your sons to be strong." I say as I look around and I notice at least four other commanders looking at me in confusion, luckily Ace isn't among those who can see me.
"What do you expect from my sons? They need to be strong to survive these seas." Whitebeard says and I nod before making sure that only the people who can see me can hear me.
"Let's hope their mentality's strong as well. Take care of that idiot for me," I say and I don't need to elaborate for Whitebeard to know who I'm talking about.
"Of course; I always take care of my sons." Whitebeard says and I smile. "Why are you asking me this now?" Whitebeard asks with his face becoming hard.
"I just want to know that Ace will be okay when I'm gone." I say looking at Ace and moving in front of him.
"Why are you doing this now?" Whitebeard asks and a small sad smile graces my lips as I turn to look at him again.
"I'll be gone in a week that's why." I say and the five commanders who can see me exchange a confused look. "Just take care of him for me, all of you. Be patient and don't let him do anything irrational." I say nodding at him before fading. I appear at the revolutionary base next and I change my appearance back to Death's Tempest's before walking towards Dragon's office. I walk through the door to find Sabo interacting with Koala, Hak, and Dragon. Dragon's eyes narrow when I walk in but I ignore him for the time being. I lightly poke Koala in the chest and a little giggle escapes her lips.
"Koala you okay?" Sabo asks as he walks over to her and I walk over to Hak.
"Yeah it just felt like something poked me in the chest." Koala says while I gently slide my fingers down Hak's back. He shivers uncontrollably and I walk over to Sabo who was looking at Hak now since he noticed the shudder.
"Hak you ok-" Sabo trails off as I give him a quick hug as well and when I pull back I see his eyes wide with surprise. I turn to face Dragon and stop in front of his desk.
"I know you can see me Dragon and look after Sabo for me." I say and Dragon's eyes narrow even more as the other three look around confused.
"Why the hell are you asking Dragon to look after me?" Sabo asks scanning the room prepared for a fight.
"I'm just someone who's asking for you to look after their brother since they don't have much time left." I say turning to look at Sabo who now has a confused look on his face.
"Brother?" Dragon asks and his eyes flicker to look at Sabo before going back to me.
"Yeah not blood related though. Sabo, your amnesia will disappear in a just over a week but you'll be out for a few days after that." I say and Sabo's eyes widen.
"What? My amnesia will disappear and I'll remember everything? How will my memories even come back?" Sabo asks and I nod.
"Your memories will come back due to a traumatic experience." I say and I focus my concentration before allowing them all to see me.
"What do you mean by traumatic?" Sabo cautiously asks and I sit on Dragon's desk which causes him to glare at me which I return before turning to look at the others again.
"My death will be the cause for your memories to come back." I say and the stack of papers that Koala was holding falls from her hands.
"Your death?" She asks and I nod.
"Yeah, my death, Sabo when your memories come back you'll know what's going to happen." I say giving him a grin that could rival Luffy's and I hear paper rustling behind me.
"Death's Tempest, how do you know you're going to die in a few days?" Dragon asks and I look over my shoulder at him to see that he's holding my wanted poster.
"I'm currently a resident of Impel Down awaiting my execution." I say and they blink at me confused.
"What but aren't you here?" Hak asks and I shake my head.
"Not really, Dragon punch me in the center of my back." I say and Dragon tries to punch me but it goes right through me. "As you can see I'm just an astral projection that needed to say my dues to my family before the execution. See you around bro." I say lightly punching Sabo in the arm before I vanish completely. I reappear in my body and I allow myself to drift into sleep since my ghost mode takes a lot of energy to do.

Ace
"I'm with Ace fully now from that conversation." Marco says and I blink at him surprised.
"What conversation?" I ask and Izo speaks up.
"The conversation that Pops and Death's Tempest just had only a few moments ago, only a few seemed to be able to see her and hear her though." Izo says and I blink at him in surprise.
"Wait she was here?" I ask and Jozu, Vista, Marco, Izo, Namur, and Whitebeard nod.
"Yeah and we're going. That's final, call in the others." Whitebeard says and we instantly get to work.
"Thanks Pops." I say before rushing off to get everything organised.

"You've got a visitor Death's Tempest. What is your real name anyways?" Magellan says walking towards my cage where I was sitting with no chains on again to his annoyance.
"What's the point of learning my name when I'm going to be gone in a few days?" I ask and Magellan smirks at my comment.
"That's true; the world will finally be ridded of you." Magellan says and I roll my eyes at him.
"Who do you think your visitor is? Jimbei you've never met her face to face so you won't recognize her. Her name is widely known though she doesn't show herself, the Pirate Empress of the warrior race the Kuja. One of the Shichibukai -" Hannyabal starts saying but I cut him off.
"I already know its Boa Hancock idiot and what would someone of your stature want with me?" I ask and Hancock steps forward.
"Nothing I wanted to lay eyes on you, the woman who's got Marine ford on high alert." Hancock says and I roll my eyes at him.
"Enjoying the show?" I ask and Jimbei speaks up.
"So even the immovable Empress is helping the government now, is your Shichibukai title that important to you?" Jimbei asks as the noise around us grows.
"So, you're Jimbei I see. Don't bare your fangs at me." Hancock says before turning to look at the other inmates of Level Six who won't shut up. "You there; when you yell like barbarians it's scary, so scary." Hancock says giving one of her best scared looks which instantly has the men in the area wooing over her. Magellan gets caught in this as well and he releases his poison on the inmates. I stand up and walk over to the cage bars. Hancock seems surprised that I'm not chained up before she gets back on track and I hold my hand up before she can speak.
"If you're here to tell me that Luffy snuck in here to bust me out I already know. Thanks for helping him out Hancock and I apologize for any trouble he's caused you." I whisper so only Hancock can hear me.
"You know already?" Hancock whispers in shock and I nod.
