Darkness. It surrounded her. She was crying, unheard in a chest while her most important person protected her from his brother. "Cora-san!" she sniffled. Thinking quickly she used her devil fruit power, and mad a room that no one but her could see. She stole Cora-san's organs. Everything from his brain to his arteries. She pulled them into the chest with her, and thanked whatever deity might be real, that she wasn't squeamish. She heard three gunshots ring out and a body hit the chest. She pulled out some of her own blood, and a little of his, to make it look like Cora-san was bleeding.
She prayed that Doffy wouldn't notice. Shortly thereafter the chest she was in was picked up, and carried away. She felt the temperature drop. The North Blue was always cold. Even having been born and raised here, she couldn't get used to it. Her body refused to retain heat when she was in a cold environment. She heard one of the men say that he had to piss, and she got ready to escape. She made a small room so that she could easily carry Cora-san's organs.
As soon as the trunk was set down and she heard the men walk a bit away, she was out of the chest and running. Cora-san's devil fruit power continued working to keep her silent until she was out of sight, and then it stopped. Law looked at his heart, and saw that it was still beating, meaning that he had just passed out. She needed to get to him quickly.
She raced through the cold night until she came upon his body. She checked his lungs, and was pleased that he was still breathing, though shallowly. She carefully set his organs down, and spoke, "Room." she said, and watched as a blue semi-sphere engulfed them, and she started on the process of putting Cora-san back together.
The sun was rising before she finished with both the healing, and the putting everything back into place. She was tired, but couldn't sleep. She watched over him until she saw his eyes open. "L-law?" Rocinante asked.
Law blinked, and broke out into a smile, "Cora-san!" she cried, and threw her arms around him. "I was worried that I did it wrong!" she said, large tears falling from her eyes.
Roci looked at the small girl clinging to him, and crying. How was he alive? Doffy shot him three times in the heart. There was no way that Law would have been able to get to him fast enough. "Law. How am I alive?" he asked.
Law grinned at him, and showed him what she had done, by taking her own heart out. "I took everything out of you though, and made it look like you were bleeding!" she said proudly. She put her heart back in her body and found herself embraced in a tight hug.
"Thank you Law. You saved my life!" Roci said. This girl was amazing. Even after he had lied about being a marine, and lied about Doffy not shooting him, she still saved him.
Law pulled away from the tall man and blushed, "It's because you are my important person, Cora-san. And I l-love you too." she said. Roci looked at the young girl in front of him, a young girl that he had abused in an effort to get her to leave, a young girl who had hated him with all of her heart. A young girl that he would, and almost had, given his life to save. A girl he had told her he loved, and had asked her to remember him with a smile, should she ever remember him in the future. Here she was, and she loved him too. He started crying.
"Cora-san, your make-up is running." she told him, her voice once again serious like normal. She stood up and held her hand out to him, "Come on Cora-san. Let's leave this island. I have a dream to chase, and I would like it very much if you would accompany me, seeing as both the marines, and your brother are after you. Unless Doffy took the bait, and thinks you are dead." she said.
Rocinante took her hand and stood up, "I would love to come with you." he said smiling. They started walking to where they had hidden their boat. They were almost there when Roci suddenly tripped over air, and fell to his back. Law sighed, but smiled, happy that he was still alive to be clumsy.
She waited until he picked himself up and they got on the boat. She turned to him, "I am the captain. I want to gather a crew, a submarine, and become the best doctor in the world." she said. Cora smiled at her.
"Can I be your first mate then?" he asked. He felt a bit nervous when all she did was stare at him for a few minutes, and then she nodded.
"I would like that." she said.
"Then what are your first orders Captain?" he asked readying the ship to set sail.
"Set a course for the closest island to the east Cora-san. I have a good feeling about that direction." she said, and watched as he saluted her sharply, and they set sail.
She looked at Cora-san's back as he steered. A small smile lit her lips, he was her important person, her Corazon. "Cora-san, from today on, we will be the Heart Pirates." she said.
She didn't see the tears or the happy smile that covered his face as he turned the wheel east towards their new adventure.
