God, it wasn't supposed to go like this.

You had fought at Dressrosa with Law and the rest of the Straw Hats and their allies. You were just a kid, 15, a child he'd taken in when you were 13 and alone on Sabaody.

And here you are. Standing as Law sits up against a wall. You're looking out to the ocean.

You've... seen a lot in tbe past few hours. People dying, buildings burning... It's a lot. He can see in your eyes, it's hit you hard. Your knuckles and knees are bloody from melee fighting.

It's over, the fight against Doflamingo, but it does not feel like a victory, despite how everyone else is celebrating.
