Law sat back and watched the chaos unfold around him. Straw Hat had punched a world noble and the auction house erupted into screams; the participants fleeing as the guards tried and failed to subdue the Straw Hat crew. They truly were as reckless as the papers made them out to be.

He turned his head to see what the other supernova in the building had decided to do. Kidd still stood against the wall watching with an amused smirk that equaled his own. His attention was drawn back as something heavy collided with him. His head snapped around to find a woman had fallen in his lap. How annoying.

"Dammit Luffy, watch where you're throwing people," she yelled shaking her fist at the rubber man.

So, she was a Straw Hat. Law vaguely recalled seeing her come in with the first group to arrive. He had caught her staring at him and his crew.

Her head turned sharply, her wavy dark brown hair whipping Laws face in the process, furthering his irritation, as violet eyes met his own. She looked down at their position before her gaze made it back to the dark expression on his face. She smirked.

"What's wrong Trafalgar, not used to a woman in your lap?"

Laws eyes narrowed. She knew who he was. That made her either very bold or very stupid. He made to grab her but with more speed than he anticipated she jumped off his lap and landed on the back of the pew in front of him. She sent a wink and a mock salute his direction before making her way back into the fray.

He heard Kidd snicker behind him.

Stupid, he concluded.

After that his eyes couldn't help but land on her quite frequently. Pirate Hunter and Blackleg seemed to gravitate toward her, keeping most of the guards out of her vicinity. Although this seemed to anger her as she shouted at them to let her fight. He had a feeling that she had devil fruit abilities, although he couldn't pinpoint what they were. She wielded a scimitar with an efficiency that told Law the weapon was still new to her.

His musings were cut soon enough as he was drawn out to face the surrounding marines and the stupid woman was pushed to the back of his mind.

X*X*X*X*

Law led his crew at a steady pace towards his sub. Having finally lost the marines and taken out the Kuma cyborg he was ready to shower and spend the rest of the day with a medical text.

"Captain, above!"

Law looked up in time to see something come crashing down through the mangroves. The impact sent clouds of dust into the air, when it settled he saw a paw shaped crater about 20 feet away and a person dragging themselves out of said crater.

It was a woman judging by the size and length of hair. Something struck law as vaguely familiar as she crawled a few paces forward and sat back on her knees. She kept one hand clutched tightly to her side.

"Zoro!" she yelled frantically looking around. "Zo- "

She broke off into a coughing fit and then it clicked. It was the woman from the auction house. A member of Straw Hats crew. Law grinned at his luck as he watched her collapse onto her presumably uninjured side. Silently he handed his nodachi to Bepo and made his way over to her. As he got nearer he could see the blood soaking her shirt where she clutched it, as well as a fair amount flowing down the side if her face. Her breathing was shallow, a good indication of bruised or broken ribs.

As soon as his shadow fell across her, her closed eyes snapped open, focusing on his boots before slowly making their way up to his face. Her eyes widened at the evil smirk that adorned his face.

"Shit," she muttered as she used her free hand to drag herself in a feeble attempt to evade him. Law knelt and easily scooped her up. She immediately began to struggle, Law tightened his grip eliciting a cry of pain from the woman.

"Stay still," he warned. The threat in his voice reaching her as she went limp in his arms. He nodded toward his crew and continued to his sub.
