"Why would I want to join his crew?" Meika asked, taking a tiny bite of the strawberry in her hand.
"It doesn't matter why, it's our captain's orders and we're going to follow them." Shachi told Meika.
She clicked her tongue in annoyance and pouted out her lips, "But I've got more important things to do~." She whined loudly, her hazel eyes dulling slightly as Penguin and Shachi got into a fighting stance. "Woah, I don't crave this vibe at all." she stated in a bored tone, dropping her strawberry to the ground.
Penguin came at her first with a roundhouse of punches, all which she dodged with skill and, in return, kicked Penguin back in the stomach with her heel. He coughed for a moment as the wind was knocked out of him. Meika clicked her tongue again, "Your fear in death is what comes after, you're afraid that there won't be anything there for you. Like you'll just be trapped in a dark void that's inescapable." She explained.
Penguin stood there in fear and Meika gave a slight smile before she was punched at the side of the face by Shachi. "What did you do to him?" he asked quietly. Meika gave a careless shrug and ran at him, quickly running around him and grabbing his arm, forcing it onto his back and placing her foot on his face as he fell to the ground.
"You tell your stupid captain that I don't want to join his crew." She hissed angrily, "I was in such a good mood, then you two came and fucked that shit all up. Just le-!" Meika didn't get to finish as Penguin came and sliced his sword right through her stomach.
Her eyes down casted to her stomach, where the blade stuck out letting itself be known, she looked over her shoulder at Penguin and growled lowly before giving him a hard blow to the face, knocking him out.
Meika felt her vision blur slightly. She let out a wet cough and a metallic taste flooded her mouth. "Shit." She said out loud before passing out.
Law gave out a short sigh as he stared at Meika's sleeping form. He went and collected his stitching supplies and walked up to her to stitch it up and quickly went to work, making sure that it was stitched up appropriately.
As soon as he was about to leave he heard a light groan and turned back around. He watched as she opened her dull hazel eyes and smirked as she noticed that both her arms and legs were chained up to the bed she was on.
'She'll never escape.' He thought, thinking that he'd see her in a moment of weakness.
His jaw almost opened in shock as Meika just leisurely dislocated both her wrists, making a sickening crackling noise. She gave out a hiss and slid her hands out, popping her wrist back in place and broke the chains with a chop of her right hand, breaking the bones in her fingers.
She moaned out in pain and slid off the bed and stood up eyeing her hand, "That was stupid. Why didn't I just use Haki?" she asked, "Guess that's what I get for thinking at a fast pace." She responded, her eyes holding life again and looked down at herself, seeing that she only had on some underwear and her black-laced bra.
"Damn, he took my clothes." She said and turned right to Law, "You there… where are my clothes?" she asked in a bored tone. Law eyed the woman, she didn't seem to be terrified at all.
"Do you even know who I am?" he asked her simply. That must've been the case.
"Where are my clothes?" she asked again, ignoring his question.
Law gave an annoyed sigh, "Just answer my question and I'll get your clothes." He promised her. She clicked her tongue and shook her head. Law nodded and quickly went to go get her clothes, he came back and handed them to her, "Here." He told her and shoved them into her chest.
She latched onto the clothes and only put on her open-back stretch-jersey bodysuit and threw her pants onto the bed, putting on her heeled boots right after. She looked up at Law again and squinted her eyes, "Who're you?" she asked.
Law wanted to face palm so badly at her, before she seemed like an interesting person; now she was acting like an oblivious girl.
"I'm Trafalgar D. Law, Surgeon of Death?" he questioned, trying to see if it would ring a bell to the girl.
Meika eyed him some more before her eyes dulled again, "You're the guy that sent those two guys at me." She clarified with a raised eyebrow. Law nodded at her and crossed his arms, showing that he wasn't to be messed with.
She clicked her tongue again and put her hands on her hip, "Why do you want me here so badly?" she asked lazily.
"You seemed like an interesting individual." He told her truthfully.
She rolled her eyes, "Ok, well you got to see how interesting I am, now let me off this… submarine? The fuck? Why are you on a submarine and not a ship?" she asked in a surprised tone, her eyes shining again. Something that Law now just noticed; the girl's eyes seemed to change depending on her mood. They shined when she was feeling positive moods and dulled over when she had negative feelings.
"It makes it easier for us." He explained quickly and eyed the girl's broken hand, it wasn't broken anymore.
Meika turned back to him, "Are you going to take me back or what?" she asked, curious for an answer.
Law shook his head, "Of course not, you're part of my crew now." He simplified and dodged the fist that was thrown at him.
Meika turned back at him with a fierce glare, "Take me back." She demanded in a low tone.
Law gave a chuckle and shrugged while shaking his head, "No can do, we're already at the bottom of the ocean and miles away from the island you're from, Goddess of Death." He mocked with a smirk.
He watched as Meika ran at him again with a scream, it wasn't a scream of anger, it was a scream of desperation. He quickly ran out the small room and locked the metal door, making sure that the fuming girl wouldn't get out.
He heard continuous bangs against the door and could hear screams of pain and sickening cracks coming straight after each hit, meaning that she was literally breaking bones to get out.
"Let me out!" she screeched out angrily more banging could be heard, sickening cracks heard straight after.
'Even if she does have a devil fruit, they can't heal hands that've been damaged that badly that fast.' He thought with slight worry.
Soon enough, the bangs on the door turned soft and slow. Law walked inside and found Meika on the ground, sitting on her knees, "I need to go back." She pleaded softly.
Law crossed his arms, "Why's that? All you do there is kill people." He reminded her.
Meika snapped her head up at him and Law was utterly shocked, in front of him stood the girl that easily killed a man without touching him. And that very same woman was crying her eyes out.
She sniffed loudly, "They need meee!" she sobbed and fell back to the ground, crying out incoherent words.
Why did she need to be there so badly? Were there more people that she needed to kill? Did she leave something personally important to her?
"Calm down and explain this power of yours." He commanded her sternly.
Meika gave out one more sob and sat back up, wiping her tears, "I ate the Shinu Shinu no mi, it allows me to cheat death." She described with a shaky voice. "It also allows me to prolong the life of others if I make a bargain with them, those that have made a bargain with me are not to betray me. If they do, all the wounds and pain they felt when they were going to die gets given back to them and they die slowly and painfully." She sniffed again.
"If the marines find out that I'm not there anymore they'll bomb the island and kill everyone on it." She explained.
"Why?" he asked her.
"Because my Locker won't be there to stop them." She said simply, moving strands of her brown hair out of her face.
"Locker?" Law questioned.
"It's my most powerful move, the marines have tried multiple times to try and kill me along with all the citizens, but with my Locker I can cover the entire island with Bokunshoku, 'killing' the weak-willed ones and weakening those with strong wills." She stated.
"You're that strong and not known to the world?" he asked in slight disbelief. Meika only shrugged and gave a sad sigh.
"It's only a matter of time before someone tells the marines that I'm not there. I don't want all those good people to die." She wept.
Law eyed the girl carefully, something told him that she was lying. He'd get the truth out of her soon though, really soon.
How was that chapter! I tried my best to make this 'problem' with Meika sound interesting and sorry if I disappointed some of you!
