This is the final chapter. As always I do not own One Piece. I hope that everyone is happy with how this ended. Leave me some feedback I would love to know what I can do better or change for the next fanfic. Thanks for reading.

Celina's point of view:

I woke up a few hours later to the sound of metal ripping apart. I heard someone screaming and more metal ripping apart. It sounded like some medical equipment was damaged. I could hear sparks and electrical humming. I carefully sat up, my body screamed as I moved. It protested every movement that I made. I hurriedly threw on some of Law's clothes. It was a hoodie and what appeared to be Law's boxers. I heard a heart wrenching cry "Ace!" I hurried out onto the main deck. I saw that the entire crew was out and about. "What's going on?" I asked Penguin. He was shaking his head and gestured to the sub. "That Luffy kid destroyed everything on board. He broke thousands of dollars of medical equipment. He even tore the top off of the sub. He ran off into the woods over there. Law said that if his wounds reopen he will die."

I remembered Ace's last words about Luffy. I had to watch out for the kid. I owed it to Ace. I ran outside after him. My body screaming in agony. I saw the poor boy who was slamming his head down onto rocks and onto the ground. Jimbe was yelling at him. I watched him as his emotions were destroying, I was watching him, at a complete loss of what to do. Finally, I did the only thing that I could think of. I ran over to Luffy and threw myself at him probably a lot rougher than either one of us needed at this time. Luffy attempted to fight me off. He even hit me in an attempt to get me off. I just took the punch; I am sure that he broke some ribs. I pulled his head close to me and placed it on my chest. Then I sat with him rocking back and forth. After a few moments he stopped fighting, he must have remembered that I was there too. I was there when Ace, when Ace, died. My chest was shuddering with the force of my sobs. Luffy wrapped his arms around me bringing me as close as he could. We held each other and cried. His tears were soaking the hoodie that I was wearing, my tears were soaking the poor boy's hair. I lifted my head up from his and ran my fingers through his soaked locks.

I knew very little about this boy; only what Ace had told me in the past. I thought back the first thing that I remembered was the smile that Ace always had on his face when he talked about his younger brother. He told me that his dream was to be the king of the pirates. I remembered that Ace told me once that Luffy never gave up on anything he set his mind to. Ace was proud of his little brother. I remembered the grin he got when he told me about his brothers first bounty. "Celina, did you hear? My little brother already got his first bounty 30,000 berries not too bad." I found myself telling Luffy these things, hoping that these few things would bring some comfort to the poor boy. Luffy's tears had stopped at some time. "My fault" the words were mumbled against my chest, but I heard them nonetheless. "No!" I said pulling his head off my chest making him look into my eyes. My eyes were tearing up again. "It's my fault Luffy, I should have got there sooner. I could have gotten him out of Impel Down, but Ace told me before, um he told me to not blame ourselves. He also told me that we have to follow our dreams. I need you to work hard and become the King of the Pirates, Luffy." The poor boy nodded his head causing my hands to move up and down with his movement.

"What are you going to do, Luffy?" He took my hands off his face and held them in his hands. "I am going to become stronger, my crew will become stronger too. Then I will be the best Captain that I can be for my crew. Then I will be the King of the Pirates!" He gave me a grin, it was a shadow of the one that appeared on his wanted poster that I saw in the Marine Base on Luelan, but it was better than nothing. I stood up and helped Luffy up. We walked together back to the sub. When we arrived at the little clearing where the sub was and the rest of the Heart Pirates. The first thing that I noticed was a very pissed off looking Law. He calmed down when he saw me come out from the trees. Law pushed past the female warriors and ran over to me. He hugged me "don't you ever do that again!" He whispered in my ear. He released me and began looking over Luffy's wounds. I felt myself being yanked away from Luffy and Law. I was startled to find myself staring face to face with the most beautiful women. Ms. Boa Hancock, she was giving me a death glare. "What are you to Luffy? Luffy is the love of my life! He will be my future husband. I will kill you where you stand." I was shaking my hands back in forth in front of my face "no, no, no. Boa Hancock, Luffy is just a friend." My answer didn't seem to convince her though as she was still giving me the death glare. Luffy came over and put a hand on her shoulder. I watched as Boa's eyes went from normal looking eyes to heart eyes. I grabbed Law's hand and subtly pointed to the phenomenon. "She's right Hancock, we are friends she knew Ace. She tried to help him too." Luffy was defending me but I was distracted again, when Luffy said Hancock's name I swear some drool actually left her mouth.

My nose wrinkled up, Law grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the odd goings on. He lifted me up and carried back into the sub. He placed me back into his bed. "Rest, you are not to leave this bed yet." He left without another word. I slept for a few hours. When I did wake back up Bepo was there. "I'm here to take you to the Captain." He held his paws out, I grabbed one allowing him to help me up. I held onto him as my body was now stiff, still sore as all heck but now I was barely able to move. When I was outside, I saw a huge amount of food. It was the size of a small mountain. Luffy was taking fistfuls of food and shoving it into his mouth. I watched in awe as he shoved an entire watermelon into his mouth and then began chewing the watermelon up. He then spits out all of the seeds. He was like a Gatling gun. I laughed at the ridiculous display. There was an older gentleman there, he was talking to Law. Luffy plopped down next to me. "Join my crew!" He yelled at me. Penguin and Shachi's eyes widened and they looked at each other. I smiled at Luffy and patted him on the arm. "I already have a crew, Luffy, but thanks." He shrugged and continued eating. Shachi and Penguin were now talking lowly and quietly. Their conversation seemed urgent.

The older gentleman walked over with Law. Law glared at Luffy, I wondered why. I felt something soft and gooey in my hair. My face wrinkled and I ran my fingers through my hair. Luffy had apparently patted my head with his watermelon covered hand. I pulled a seed out of my hair. Law introduced me to Silvers Rayleigh. He then told Luffy about his idea to go away and train. Luffy agreed, and they made the plan to communicate it to the rest of his crew. Luffy gave me a quick hug as he was leaving. This caused Boa to scream like a banshee. I hid behind Law, not wanting to deal with the physco. Law gave his farewell to everyone. He turned and picked me up. I sighed in his arms, I love being picked up by a strong sexy man as much as the next girl, but this was getting ridiculous. I gave Law a halfhearted glare, that he returned with a smirk., which caused me to laugh. He placed me into his bed. He gave orders for the men to repair what Luffy broke. He then came and climbed into bed with me. He pulled me against his chest and then he fell asleep.

It had been 3 weeks since the day that Ace died. Law had stationed the sub near the island that he was buried as my request. Today was the day that I was going to visit Ace's and White Beards graves. I waved goodbye to the Heart crew they knew that I wanted to be alone with them for a final time. I was rubbing my wave necklace with my fingers. Ace's grave had his hat on it. I sat down in front of Ace's grave. I sat there but I didn't know what to say. "White beard, you were always special to me. You taught me that someone who is a pirate doesn't have to be a bad person. Sometimes they are the best people that you can meet. I love you, you were like a father to me, just like you were to several of us. We will all miss you and never forget you." I touched White Beards grave carefully. A few tear drops fell onto the soil in front of the grave. I turned to Ace's grave. I swallowed trying to choke back my tears. "Ace, I am always going to miss you. Every day I will think about you. I will think about your smile and how sweet you are. How warm you were when you held me close to you. Even if I still think about you I want to live my dream like you wanted me to. I want to become a member of the Heart Pirates. I am happy with them, I like cooking for them, and if I didn't they might die." I gave a half laugh sob. "I wanted to bring this to you" I took of my wave necklace. "I think that you should have this back." I placed it on the ground in front of the grave. I leaned forward and kissed the grave stone. It was shockingly cold and a smack in the face to me. Ace was always so warm and for him to be in someplace so cold broke me down. I fell onto the ground right on top of my necklace I bawled like a child. I cried for the loss of what could have been. I cried for the loss of what we had, both romantically and as one of the best friends that I have ever had. I cried for hours.

Law's point of view:

I was worried Celina had been gone for several hours now. She was just going to say good bye one final time. I was worried though, as she never told me what she planned to do. I think it was time I checked on her. I walked up the hill to see Celina on the ground crying. She looked up as I approached. She stood up and patted the grave. She started walking my way, but then she tripped and fell into my arms and then we kissed. It was great, we haven't kissed like this for so long. I picked her up and held her against me. I kissed her passionately. I ran my tongue against her lips and she opened them for me. My tongue met hers. When we broke apart, panting. I looked down and saw that necklace that Ace gave Celina around her neck. I bent down and kissed it. Confusion crossed her face and she looked back over her shoulder as we descended the hill.

Celina's point of view:

Law bent and kissed my chest? No he was kissing the necklace. The necklace? I took that necklace off! I looked back over my shoulder, I knew that I didn't trip. I was pushed into Law's arms. I ran my fingers over my necklace and waived as we went down the hill. Tears were now on my face again. I kissed Law before we went into the sub. "Permission to come on board, Captain?" Law kissed my nose. "Permission granted, but remember to call me Law." I smiled and kissed his nose. "I love you Law." He pulled me into an embrace. "I love you too Celina-ya." We went onto the sub, "crew come and meet our new and permanent cook Celina-ya." Law said. The Heart Pirates cheered. Penguin brought out drinks and we all partied.

Ace's point of view:

White Beard placed his arm around my shoulder. "You did good son." I nodded and smiled as I watched Celina kiss Law. I leaned down and kissed her cheek. White Beard and I watched with smiles on our faces as our girl was finally happy and was where she finally belonged.
