The War between the Marine and the Whitebeard pirates was over and Portgas D. Ace has been buried alongside Edward Newgate. Luffy, the Strawhat Captain has gone into hiding, training with Silver Strawhat Crew have been separated and are now training to meet again in two years. Two days have paced since the Heart Pirates have left Amazon Lily.

A Fateful Meeting

It is a sunny day and the heart pirates are chilling on deck of the yellow submarine. The seagulls have followed them ever since they have left Amazon Lily and some of the crew members are throwing bread crumbs into the sky for the birds to catch. Law smiles at his crew while he leans against Bepo who is loudly snoring. A sudden shudder rocks the submarine.

"What was that?" the black haired man sits up all alert.

Bepo opens his eyes and looks around. Penguin runs to the railing and looks down. He was met with an unusual sight.

"Captain, there's a small boat next to us with a woman in board. She's not moving." he calls over to his Captain. Law walks to his side and eyes the woman.

"Go and investigate."

"Yes sir."

Penguin jumps on the boat looks at the woman red faced and panting lying on the boat. She certainly was a beauty. Her hair was really dark and just reached over her shoulder. Her long dark lashes nearly reached her small tattoo under her right eye. A capital D with a dot. Penguin eyed the woman and the noticed the large bump.

"Well, she's alive." He lightly taps her shoulder. "Excuse me miss, are you alright?"

The woman opens her eyes and looks at the heart pirate.

"Help me ...please." she pants quietly.

"Captain, the woman seems sick and…" he looks at the woman again. "...she's pregnant too."

Law looks over the railing and jumps down onto the boat. He touches her forehead. Instinct told his that her body was fighting some sort of bacteria. She opens her eyes slightly and looks him deep into his grey eyes until closing them again. He wasn't sure what to make of it. But he had never seen such brown clear eyes before.

"A dangerous fever. She's not gonna last long without help. Bring her inside. Quickly."

"Yes, Captain." Penguin grins at his Captain.

Law turns and sees something on the horizon that he didn't like. A marine ship, although far away, fire a warning shot. With a great splash the cannon ball lands close to the submarine. It sways and Bepo screams.

"The Marines? When did they sneak up on us?" he had a serious look on his face.

On board the large Marine ship, the Commander grabbed the microphone and spoke.

"Trafalgar Law and the rest of the Heart pirates, you're under arrest. Give us the woman, unharmed." his voice boomed over the ocean.

"Shit. So she's being chased." without a second thought he turns back

He quickly walks back to her and picks the woman up in his arms. Despite being pregnant she was surprisingly light. He jumps onto the submarine.

"Penguin, hurry up. Bepo get the submarine ready." simple orders but not when you are about to get captured.

"Aaaah. We will never make it." panicking, the white bear ran in circles.

The woman opens her eyes slightly and sees the marine ship in the distant and inaudible men shouting at each other. She lifts her arm and with it the water begins to rise. The pirate crew watch as pillar of water rises out of the ocean.

"Water Piller." her weak voice rang in Law's ears.

The marine ship vanishes behind a giant tower of water. The loud rumble of the water died as it fell back down along with the women's slender arm. Now the ship was a good distance away. Law looks at the woman in his arms who had fainted.

"What the hell is she..."

Inside the now submerged submarine the whole crew gathered at the door to the emergency room.. Law gently places the unconscious woman onto the bed where, not too long ago, the Strawhat had struggled for his life. And here Law was saving another person. Someone he didn't even know. He places his hand on her small forehead.

"Why would a pregnant lady want out on the open ocean?" Penguin scratched his head.

"Maybe she was looking for fish." Bepo lets out a blunt answer.

"Idiot. She was running away from the marines. But why?"

"I'm gonna look who she might be. She probably has a bounty on her head." Shachi walks out of the room followed by Bepo.

Laws tattooed hand parts from the womans hot face.

"39.7°C. That's dangerously high." he says under his breath.

When he returned to the bed he noticed that the woman has opened her eyes slightly she looks at her saviour with a blank expression. He places his large hand over her eyes.

"Sleep."

When he lifted his hand again her eyes were closed but she still had a pained expression on her face. He stays by her side, regularly changing the towel on her forehead and monitoring her fever. This time he looked at her more closely. The tattoo on her face, her clear skin, her raven her. It reminded him of someone but he forced it out of his mind. The woman moved restlessly in her sleep. He could hear a whisper.

"Ace, don't leave me…."

Law was surprised. The loss of that man seemed to affect many other than the Strawhat. He wondered what her relation was to the son of the Pirate King. He sighs and places his hand on hers. In her sleep she grabs it tightly and seems to settle down by his touch. Her hand was very soft and he couldn't rid himself of the feeling that somehow, he needed to protect her. It was similar to the feeling he got when he rescued Luffy. Was that destiny that he needed to save another life? He smirks to himself.

"What a troublesome patient."

Uh, I wonder who she is. Well, I know since I wrote this. Anyway I hope you enjoyed this little teaser.
