Author's Note: This is a LONG AWAITED SEQUEL to the story GET BACK HOME which was also written by myself. If you don't know what's going on in this story then I suggest that you go back and read that one on my user's page. I've tired to include in as much information from the last story as possible in this chapter, however I will continue forward from now on and not give any further information about the previous story unless needed. PLEASE READ GET BACK HOME FOR KEY INFORMATION THANK YOU.

I was marked a traitor among the day that I had joined forces to help Monkey D. Luffy save his elder brother, Portgas D. Ace from his execution. I had failed at my task and in the wake of the tragic I was left wounded and nearing death while Ace, had indeed been, murdered. He risked his life to save mine, and I will never forget. My life was saved however by, my now current captain, Trafalgar Law. I was given the offer to join him and the Heart Pirates, and now seeing as how I was wanted by the Marines and had a hefty bounty as being a former high ranking Marine and attending the battle at Marine Ford I had no where else to turn.

Trafalgar Law was a sick bastard.

He was a dark creature, one that I had never seen before. He was cruel and ruthless to his enemies and anyone else who stood in his way. But, he cared for his crew; at least to some extent. He became a War Lord six months after meeting him and joining his crew, and once again he had done so in a very dark way.

I laid away hidden on his ship as I listened to the Marines scream out about what had laid in the crate that was placed at their feet. 100 hearts from random pirates just siting in a box, their hearts still beating. He presented them to the new Fleet Admiral, Akainu, the bastard, and gained the title of War Lord for showing his "loyalty" to the Navy in giving them the hearts of those 100 pirates. Unbeknown to the Marines who had given Law this title that they also granted parlay to not only Law, but his entire crew, freezing their bounties and placing them in "good favor" of the Navy, and yes, this included myself as well.

It wasn't until later after this had happened did I show myself and shock the entire Navy that the woman whose bounty had reached so high was now frozen and was untouchable by the same people who hunted her down for the last 6 months.

"You should have seen the look on their faces." Law spoke to me. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye, my hair still short so that I could see him.

"When they had found out that you were apart of my crew. I thought your presence was going to start another war." It was true. In order for all crew members to be included in the stop of their growing bounty, all had to be accounted. And that meant that I had to finally show myself. But, when I had stepped forward along with the other crew, I was sure that Akainu was going to kill me right then and there.

"I don't care what those bastards say or think," I told him coldly as we walked back to the ship, "now that it's done none of them can touch me, unless you somehow screw up your position of War Lord." Law glared at me from underneath his hat. He knew what I meant, but was displeased with the way I worded it.

"You still don't know how to talk to your captain, Emma-ya." I knew it was a threat for me to watch what I had to say to him. Though Law was my captain and we had grown to be alright with each other, he was still my captain and reminded me often.

"Apologizes. It's just the people in there got on my nerves fast. If I had the strength, I would have cut them all into pieces." I knew Law was smirking as we boarded the ship, he enjoyed hearing those dark words fall from my mouth, but it was true. I would never forgive them for what they had done to Luffy, Ace, and Whitebeard. They had caused Luffy so much pain and the death of Ace and Whitebeard. I felt my chest burning as my hand went up to clench the red jacket that I wore over top it.

"Is the wound hurting again?" I shook my head, but Law knew better than that he was a doctor after all.

"I'll take a look at it when the ship lowers into the sea." He told me. "Wait for me in the infirmary." He didn't give me a whole lot of time to reply as he ended up walking in the other direction. I gave a frustrated groan. My chest only hurt because of being in the presence of Akainu, the bastard who blasted his fist right through my chest.

Time passed and we descended into the ocean. I went to the infirmary as I was ordered and waited for Law. He appeared moments after I had arrived. He wasted no time in getting to work, his doctor side coming out the moment he opened his mouth.

"Take off your jacket." I slid it over my head without complaint, this wasn't the first time Law had to see my chest exposed. He was after all a doctor. When I removed the jacket he could clearly see the burnt and scared tissue that was left behind from the attack. Much like Luffy's scared chest, only mine was only over where my heart had lied and was slow to heal.

"About when do you think my organs will be ready for my heart again?" I jumped right to the question as always. Law looked at me from underneath that hat with a stern expression.

"The day I removed your beating heart was the day I saved your life. With the way your tissue was literally melted from the inside I was surprised that your heart was still hanging on." He informed me while he moved his hands over the wound and the wound only.

"What did you do with my heart anyways? Where did you hide it?" I was stern, knowing that my heart had indeed been removed to save my life and had yet been returned to my chest. I watched as Law gave me one of those sadist smirks of his as he finished up with his examination.

"It is in the safest place I could find for it." I rolled my eyes as Law allowed for me to replace my jacket back onto my body. The bastard still refused to give me any information about where he was keeping my heart. I knew it had to be somewhere safe, because he was holding it in case something happened, in case I turned against him or his crew no doubt.

I stood up from the operation table in which he had me sit upon.

"Isn't a captain suppose to trust his crew?" I asked. Law turned back toward me and gave me a rather lazy smirk.

"Isn't a crew suppose to trust their captain?"
