Summary
“I’m glad you’re here,” Luffy says when the bowl is empty. He’s clearly exhausted, his limbs and the lines of his body all drooping as though his bones have all gone wobbly. He can barely sit up on his own. “Sorry they asked you to come.”
“‘Sorry’?” Sabo parrots, not sure he heard correctly. There’s a dull sort of horror blooming in the pit of his stomach like a sick flower. “Why ‘sorry’?”
“Ace had his own adventures, and I have mine,” Luffy mumbles, drifting off again. “You have yours, too. I don’t want you to miss them. I don’t want you to miss anybody. Or to… be here when you’d rather be…”
“Luffy—”
“Free,” Luffy manages. “Sabo’s supposed to be free.”

Summary
“If you were going to come back from the dead, it should have been for him,” Ace snarls. “What the fuck are you doing here? What’s the fucking point now?”
I should have been there is on the tip of Sabo’s tongue, but it seems a waste of breath to say something everyone already knows. I’m sorry surfaces next, is the obvious right thing, but what he actually says is, “I had to come.”
His voice is just barely more than a whisper. Ace’s face only screws up more.
“I had to,” Sabo chokes out. “Ace, I had to.”
Even if you hate me, he doesn’t say. You’re my brother. I’ll always come for you.

Summary
Ace comes down upon Akainu like a Sea King, a gaping maw of fire and teeth, melting absolutely everything he touches. Akainu’s magma isn’t hot enough to save him. He dies, presumably screaming. It’s impossible to hear anything over Ace’s howling.
It’s not a human sound. It’s raw and animal.
And it doesn’t stop. Marco is standing nearly at the edge of the wharf, his ankles inches away from the drop into the sea, when he realizes Ace isn’t going to stop.

Summary
Sabo burns with hatred. He wants to claw Outlook’s eyes out, snap his neck, drag his body into the jungle and let the big cats have him for a snack. He feels like a wicker creature, nothing but sticks brought to life with love like a magical spell from a storybook. Only it’s the burnt ends of love, the remnants of it after grief has eaten its fill, and heartbreak has turned the spell bitter, has given it teeth.
Luffy’s hand is wrapped tight around his, and his eyes are wide and round and anxious, the way they always look when he thinks Sabo is thinking about going away without him.
“I have a condition,” Sabo says, sounding, to his own ears, disconcertingly like his father when his father is doing business.
It might be that, more than anything, that causes Outlook to consider him thoughtfully.
“I’m listening,” the man says.

Those who once held a Vision will always retain traces of its power.
or
six people being haunted by their respective elements. a heart of ice and eyes like fire. tears that glitter like stars and electricity running through your veins. wind ruffling your hair and the earth beneath your feet, solid and unmoving.
