Within The Heart

Hey guys! I'm back with a new story about my favorite Supernova Trafalgar Law! I hope you all enjoy my story and please tell me what you think of it. This story takes place a year during the 2 year time skip.

Chapter 1: Auction House/New Home

As he walked the echo of his footsteps could be heard, he scanned the room to see that it was filled with bidders. They all chattered away loudly until he walked down the hard concrete steps and into a seat near the top row of the bleachers with all eyes following his every move. He sat with his leg crossed over the other and his sword rested on his right shoulder with his head propped up on the armrest. As the show began to start the room grew silent and all eyes were on the stage.

''Ladies and Gentlemen! I now present to you item number 1!'' The Announcer said to the crowd as a woman was brought out wearing a baby blue dancing outfit.

The woman was fairly tall; she was at least six feet. She had light pink wavy hair that stopped at her hips and light storm gray eyes. The look in her eyes showed that she was very frightened but she kept a straight face to hide her emotions. Once the announcer finished describing the woman people started to bit on the girl and finally after bidding 350,000 beli she was sold to an older looking man wearing a tight red and white suit that seemed to stare at the woman as if she was made out of gold.

''Who knows what he's planning to use you for, poor thing.'' Law thought as he frowned slightly as the woman was brought to the back to be given to her new master.

''Now then let's continue! Here is item number 2!'' The announcer said as a man was brought out.

The man was inhumanly tall; he looked to be in a smaller class of giants. He was covered in tattoos and scars and had an uncaring expression on his face. He was wearing a green short sleeve shirt with dark khaki pants and black boots. His platinum long blonde hair was shaved on both sides with the rest of hair going down his back. He looked to be very strong but he was not something that Law was looking for.

''Sold for 180,000 beli! Please come to the back to pay for your item.'' The announcer said.

After sitting there for a very dull hour Law had decided that he would walk around and find some entertainment at one of the bars in town once the auction was over. The auction items were sold a lot quicker than usual but they were not of his interests. They all had their good qualities but they still didn't meet up to his expectations. The lights all of a sudden dimed in the room and a drum roll began to play as the Announcer was about to present the last item.

''For our last item we have a very special woman, a beautiful and fascinating creature that make even a young and beautiful mermaid look as if she is a normal human girl! I present to you the one and only AMORE!'' The announcer yelled in pure excitement as he pulled the golden ribbon from the big box in the middle of the stage.

Once the box fell there stood a very small woman that was dressed in a white and gold outfit that was fit for an Egyptian queen. She had on a gold layered necklace that had small golden chains connected to the straps of her white bikini like top and white silk coming from her straps and stopped at her feet. The bottom of her outfit was a silk skirt and was held up by a golden ringed belt with a split on both sides. She had on pointed toed flats that were also gold. Her face was half between one of a child and one of a woman showing that she was young in age but not too young to be too naïve, she had dark chocolate brown eyes and medium brown skin with slightly pink lips.

''Isn't she a wonderful sight, she can clean and can cook very well and would be the perfect babysitter. For some of you men out there looking for a lovely woman to have "fun" with unfortunately this woman is not in her strong points with those kinds of things. She has had a very rough past from being disobedient to her masters and is now unable to speak but she can hear very well. We will start the bidding!'' The announcer said.

''200,000 beli!'' One man yelled.

''400,000 beli!'' A woman yelled next.

''1 Million beli!'' Law said in a calm manner and held up his number. Everyone in the room went quiet.

''Sold! Sir you can come right this way to pay for your lovely purchase.'' The announcer said as Law went to the back. He smirked devilishly as the people glared at him as he walked off.

Amore couldn't believe that someone would pay that much for her; she couldn't even see who it was because that damned announcer covered her eyes as soon as they were about to land on the man who had purchased her, which could only mean that he was someone very dangerous. She fought as she was held in an iron grip but it was no use in fighting when you have such a strong man holding you in a bear hug. How she wished she could scream and yell but at the end of the day she would never make a sound.

''I see she's a fighter and I can also see that you were serious when you said that she couldn't speak. Do you know why she can't talk?'' Law asked as he watched Amore as she tried to wiggle herself free from the guard's hold.

''It was said that something happened to her when she was little and somehow she managed to lose her voice. She was a slave right along with her sister as a child but she managed to get away and her sister supposedly died of an unknown illness. She is a very sweet girl but she can be pretty sneaky and very cunning so as a warning you might want put a chain on her neck.'' The auction house owner told Law.

Amore kicked the guard right in his gut and took off into a sprint. Law chuckled lightly.

''Room…Shambles.'' Law said then caught Amore over his shoulder and walked off to go back to his submarine. Amore started to wiggle around as he held her in a tight grip and walked to the port.

''Stop moving around.'' Law said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

''Of all of the people that could've bought me it had to be you! Why am I always being cursed like this? What did I ever do wrong?!'' Amore thought as she hung over his shoulder like a ragdoll.

All of a sudden he broke off into a sprint and jumped into the air and landed quite gracefully on something. Amore was shaking like mad with her eyes sealed shut until she heard Law chuckle.

''I'm sorry, did I scare you?'' Law stated with in amusement in his voice.

''That's not funny you asshole.'' Amore thought with a frown on her face.

Law had walked Amore through so many tunnels and doors that she was starting to get dizzy. Then finally he stopped at a door and walked inside, once he shut the door and locked it he gently placed Amore on something very fluffy and removed her cuffs. When Amore looked around the room it was filled with books on almost every subject, even she never had this many books. Amore watched Law until he noticed her eyes on him and looked up to her as she pointed to the bookshelves in his room. Law proceeded to take off his coat and hat and hung them up then he sat at his desk and beckoned Amore over to the chair in front of him. Amore stood up from the bed and sat in the chair and waited for Law to speak, he chuckled at how well-mannered she was.

''Anything on this ship that has a hazard sign on it or an "X" you are not allowed to touch it unless I say so. You can read as many books as you like but remember to put them back where they belong and don't go snooping around in anything while you're alone or you'll lose your hands, Understand?'' Law said with a deadpan expression on his face. Amore nodded.

''Good, I'll go through all of the things you need to know once I get back. While I'm gone I want you to scrub the floors. You don't have to rush and when you get hungry there should plenty of food in the kitchen. If you need anything just call me.'' Law said as he went out of the bedroom door and left the ship.

''Either he's very stupid for trusting me alone or he's very smart and has every plan of me escaping to fail. He didn't even tell me where I could find the supplies to clean with!'' Amore thought as she stepped out of the room and looked around.

''Walk straight and make a left, on your right side there should be the door you're looking for.'' Law said from the Surveillance Den Den Mushi on the wall.

Amore followed his directions and there was the door that had "supplies" on it in bold black writing. Amore grabbed the things she needed and got to work with scrubbing the floors.

''I wonder if he has any clothes I can wear until I finish. There should be something I can wear.'' Amore thought to herself as she went back to the room and changed and then got to work.
