Chapter 2: A game of Chess.

Law had gotten the woman on board but the female pirate had been asleep for two days already. He had been doing research about the supposed devils Fruit, it didn't have a name, but it was in the database under the unnamed Devils Fruits.

'Hallucination Fruit.

Type : Paramecia

Rarity : Grows every 75 years.

Description : Ability to create hallucinations and recreate places from memory, ability to create anything as far as the mind reaches. Focuses at one person at the time. Limit depend on how intense the hallucinations are, painful or torturous hallucinations are ten times as difficult as simple hallucinations to confuse someone. When victim feels pain it exhausts owner.' The book had said. So there was a downside. And considering what he had seen from her doing, she used the most torturous hallucinations, no wonder she tired so rapidly, Law continued the book.

'This fruit is to be considered powerful, due to the ability to kill people when overstressing the mind. Side effect is that the eater tires even quicker, it is handy for the eater of this fruit to have another way to defend their selves, seeing as the hallucinations focus on one person, unless that person is in touch with another person that has been in touch before the hallucination started. Both will be able to experience the hallucination once it has started, though the user will be able to manipulate both hallucinations individually, though a lot of concentration is needed, and also tires down a lot. Not much is known about the fruit, but it seems, depending on the user, the victim needs to be touched first, before a hallucination can take place.' It seemed as if this fruit had more downs than ups, but when in battle one on one, this would actually be quite useful, being able to confuse the enemy and strike down. Now that Law thought about it, it was quite an unfair way to fight, but since when did the world stop being unfair.

Law went to check up on his unconscious new crewmate, he checked her blood pulse, temperature, just the standard procedure he went through with each of his patients every half hour. The woman was severely wounded and didn't leave the battle unscathed like his crew did. She must've use a hell of a hallucination on that marine lieutenant, even to be able to make him drop dead to the floor, touching the man just once. Law smirked at the thought; he had gotten himself quite an interesting person. He had done right thinking that she would make a nice addition to his crew. Law let his eyes linger on her face just some more before leaving the room once again.

Aivy endured one hell of a headache once she awakened in a bed, not a flowerbed like the previous time. Aivy groaned, she had really overdone it this time. But she had her fun so it was probably worth it. Aivy massaged her temples, trying to soothe the headache. She should really go easy for a while now, this was probably killing her head. The hallucinations were intensive, but she never expected the last hallucination to go so hard on her, while fight- Wait, where was she? Why was she in a bed?

"Fuck no." Aivy's eyes fluttered open, not caring about the light blinding her eyes. Oh no he didn't. No he didn't just grab me and threw on board. Not literally, but she had no choice now. Either, Law was going to be really persistent and give her an ultimatum, either threaten her. Or a bet, something in that area. Aivy found the first two to be more likely. With a bet, Law actually had a small chance of losing. So, no way he was gonna do that. Well, Aivy would have enough time to think it through, who knows how far the next island is. Aivy groaned in realization of her situation.

"Maybe…" Aivy mumbled, considering is she should just give in, no she wouldn't do that. Not the easy way out. Also she was going to have to address Law with Captain. Well ain't that pretty, captain. You're gonna get what you want and be all happy. But, maybe she would have a chance to taunt the man more, Aivy thought about it. She wanted to see just how far she could go. Aivy sat up straight. She noticed the bandages under her shirt, he must've undressed her. Well, that would explain that she felt cold without her clothing on. She noticed a pile of clothes next to the bed, supposedly hers. Yeah, those were hers. Aivy quickly dressed into them and noticed just how much blood she had shed. The white corset was no a red brown color as if someone tried to wash it out. What a pity, she actually like these clothing. She would have to get new ones, as soon as they reached the next island. Not that shopping clothing was bad.

"Ah you're awake." A voice said from the door. Aivy turned to the voice and it turned out to be the bear. Aivy smiled at the bear, so that was the first mate.

"You're a bear, well anyway, name's Aivy." Bepo hung his head in a depressive way but quickly composed himself and formally introduced himself.

"My name's Bepo." Bepo dryly waved at her, and his black beads were staring at her. This bear was cute. Very cute, but she would have to hold herself in, wounds would open if she were to be jumping around already.

"You're below me, so I order you to scratch my back." Bepo stated matter of fact wise and Aivy just chuckled lightly. Alright, she could get to like this bear. Aivy went over to the bear and started scratching the bear on his back, the bear giving directions as to where to scratch. The bear thanked her and asked if she wanted anything to eat.

"Well, what could you guys make me?" Aivy asked the bear, an amused smile set on her lips. The bear seemed to think hard, but he couldn't bring up any ideas, so the expectantly looked at Aivy. Aivy let out a chuckle and thought for a moment aswel.

"Scrambled eggs with bacon if that's alright? It's not good to eat something heavy so soon." Aivy suggested, and the bear nodded and left the room. The bear seemed hesitant to leave the room but when Aivy followed him, he continued his way to the kitchen. Aivy was very impressed by the submarine. From what she saw on the outside, the ship was a mix between a submarine and a regular ship. The ship was dubbed as the Yellow Submarine. The bear turned left and right, and whatever way, but they finally seemed to have arrived at the gallery. At least, it looked like the gallery. A man stood in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes that had been used, this morning- or evening; Aivy couldn't tell as they were still underwater.

"So the sleeping beauty finally woke, heh?" the man put down the dishes and grinned warmly at Aivy and she sent him an innocent smile in return.

"I'm Aivy, pleased to meet you." Aivy introduced herself in a nearly sarcastic manner.

"Daniel." The cook retorted. The cook had brown hair that was cut short, sticking around in all directions, it did seem to fit the man though. Daniel looked muscular and had little scars on his face.

"Well, what'd you like to eat, miss?" Daniel asked while grabbing some pans and pots to cook with, still waiting for Aivy's answer.

"Something like eggs with bacon, that would be very nice." Aivy stated thoughtfully. The cook gave her an approving nod and Bepo went to sit with her at the table while they waited for the cook to prepare Aivy's food.

"Say what's the time, I can't really tell." Aivy questioned the bear. The bear simply stared at her, "It's 1 am, the rest of the crew just went to bed."

"I heard something from your room so I went to check on you."

"How sweet." Aivy thanked the bear for caring and the bear dismissed it with a simple 'no problem.' Aivy found the bear very intriguing. She wondered if the bear ate a devils fruit, but he didn't look like he did. Aivy sighed. She was still over thinking her options. She sighed again and traced the wooden patterns on the table when a plate filled with food was placed in front of her, and damn, it smelled wonderful. She didn't eat a proper meal for a good three days, not to mention, she had been unconscious then, because she got carried away with her hallucinations.

"It smells wonderful!" Aivy complemented the cook, and he merely grinned at her, patting her shoulder.

"Alright kiddo, just eat already." The cook went to sit down aswel after he grabbed himself some water. The cook eyed her curiously. The he let a small amused smirk come across his face.

"What ya' smiling at?" Aivy asked between the bites.

"I was just wondering, how a girl like you could have a bounty of 56 million." The cook implied, still looking at her with an amused smirk plastered on his head.

"Hey, I'm not as weak as I look, and I've been working for that bounty for 2 years, so if I were you, I'd better shut up about that, before I pop your head of like you're opening a beer bottle." Aivy threatened, but the cook just laughed at the reference. Bepo simply sat there. Aivy continued to empty her plate and fill her stomach.

"You know cook-boy, this is very good stuff."

"Hm, I know. But what're ya' gonna do next?"

"What?"

"I mean Captain invited you didn't he? What'd ya say?" Aivy shrugged in response,

"Don't remember much, but I don't think I have a choice anyway, any sane man would've left me there, if he didn't want something that is." Aivy stated. The cook chuckled with his deep voice and grabbed Aivy's now empty plate and put it with the rest of the dishes.

"Well, sleep over it, and if you really don't want to, we'll be sure to come up with something we all like." Daniel replied, a smug smirk playing on his lips. Bepo showed her the way back to the infirmary and bid her goodnight. A good another hour passed before Aivy finally fell asleep again.

When Law woke up, he entered the kitchen to drink his usual coffee. Daniel was already up and working on the breakfast. All the plates were already on the table waiting for the food to be put on them and be eaten.

"Mornin' Captain." Daniel greeted.

"Good morning." Law replied. He nonchalantly strolled over to the coffee machine and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"You know that girl woke up last night, Bepo brought her here and I made her some food." Daniel informed,

"I see." Law uninterestedly replied, okay he wasn't a morning person, but he wanted to drink his coffee first, then he would go check on the woman. His new found crew mate. She had woken up already, so she was going to be awake today. Law was going to ask her some questions and maybe even have a little fun annoying her. No need to be soft on the new one. Maybe they would even go to the surface to catch some sun. After all, they were already out of the danger zone now, and they could float on the surface. When Law finished his breakfast, he went to get Logen. He found Logen in the control room, checking if everything was still alright and taken care of.

"Logen." Law walked in direction of the man, "Captain! Good morning!" Logen greeted the man merrily and Law returned the gesture.

"We will resurface for the time being." Law commanded his navigator, who nodded in reply. Logen when to press some buttons here and there and the submarine started to resurface. When the submarine emerged from the water, light rays immediately went through the windows of the control room, shortly blinding the two pirates.

"I'm going to check on my patient again." Law informed his crew member and Logen nodded, going back to his work, speculating the weather- which was very difficult, and keeping the submarine on course. Law left the control room for the infirmary. When he walked in, he expected to see the woman sleeping, but she was up and stretching a bit, as if she just woke up.

"Your loud walking and the submarine moving woke me up." Aivy answered the question he didn't have the chance to ask.

"Hm, Good Morning Miss Lamarr." Law mused mockingly, glancing curiously at the woman.

"How are things going, any further pain?" Law queried boredly when she didn't respond, how rude.

"No, they're all gone." She stretched her arms and cracked her hands. She sighed and smiled a little when she jumped from the bed.

"I heard you've been introduced to my cook." Law stated, starting to rummage through his cabinet with medicine.

"He's cool," Aivy said blandly. She eyed Law again. Hm, he didn't look too bad. He was a slim man, though his shoulders seemed broader than you would expect, note the hoodie. He had side burns on his face and a goatee. It didn't look bad at all, he had bags under his eyes, which made him seem just a little bit more older. So, more intimidating. She tilted her head, as if trying to look at him in a different angle. Law turned around with a medicine in his hand.

"Take this once a day and the pain should be stay a way for a while." Damn, so he saw through. Aivy did have pain, but she wasn't about to let him notice that. She silently took the medicine. She tucked it away in her bag she carried at her hip. She thanked (barely) the heart pirate captain and went to stretch her neck again, and that damn neck just wouldn't listen, no matter how much she stretched. Aivy quickly walked outside the room, the windows had shown her that they had resurfaced. Time to catch some sun. Aivy walked around some more… and more… and more… and more… Damn, she got lost. Aivy groaned as she tried to find her way through the submarine. She ended up at the bottom of the submarine, completely opposite of where she wanted to be.

"Lost?" Another male voice spoke to her. Aivy turned around to see a man with a hat saying penguin.

"Yeah," Aivy said sheepishly. "My sense of direction has left me." Aivy theatrically spoke, putting a hand over her heart, trying to look hurt. Penguin laughed at her as he quirked an eyebrow at her.

"Well, I couldn't leave such a pretty lady all by her self downstairs, why don't I show you the way to the deck, maybe even around the submarine, my room…" The pirate said coming closer to Aivy, trying to pull her closer to him. Aivy just smiled smugly, how about a little hallucination. She went to place her hand on the man, but he dodged the hand strategically.

"Oh no, miss, we don't do hallucinations," Penguin spoke. "Now how about I show you the way to the deck?" Aivy simply nodded. Penguin motioned for her to follow him, he had stopped flirting with her, fortunately he knew his boundaries and when to stop. Nice, so your crew ain't complete barbarians, Law.

"So did you say yes?" Penguin asked all of the sudden while he turned right in the hallway.

"I said 'Whatever Law'. If I recall correctly, I was taken onboard and I didn't willingly come. But seeing as I had no power to fight back, I believe I unconsciously submitted to him, I was kinda drowsy."Aivy sighed, she already called him captain when she wasn't exactly thinking clear and about to pass out. So she had already lost the battle, but she wasn't gonna go down without even the slightest struggle. She was going to annoy Law just for the fun of it. Aivy's usual sly smiled started to crawl across her lips again and it mate Penguin look at her with an amused look on his face.

"You like to smile, don't you." Penguin stated while still eyeing her. They were about to enter the deck, when they bumped into a certain white giant furry ball. Aivy chuckled and waved merrily at the bear, causing, yet again, Penguin to look at her.

"Yes, I like animals, no matter how human they act, and to answer your previous question, smiling takes less effort. To put it simply; I'm lazy." Aivy explained the pirate, earning a chuckle. She scowled at the pirate when she stepped on the deck, but she also thanked him for helping her out. She went to sit down against the mast, out of sight from the control room. She stared at the unpredictable clouds of the Grand Line, it has been long since she last set sail. Only three months ago was the last time she jumped of a ship. It didn't take long for the female pirate to start thinking about her dilemma again. Law wanted something from her, entertainment, maybe just her ability or something else that was left to figure out by her, but just why he wanted her so much, Aivy couldn't possibly think of one different alternative. Aivy sighed, she sighed a lot lately. Aivy shifted her legs in a different position, allowing the blood to flow normally through her legs again. How she longed for a book right now, maybe she would ask for one later. Law seemed like a man who read many books, but no way was she going to ask for one from him. Aivy resumed staring at the clouds, trying to imagine all kinds of figures and shapes into the clouds like a little child. Aivy chuckled, she admit, she was still acting like a kid all the time, much to the dismay from the people who used be around her. She'd go around asking her companions if they wanted to play a game. She heard footsteps behind her and she found a big orange and white fur ball coming in her direction.

"Say, do you have any games on board?" Aivy asked the now confused bear.

"Yes, I believe the captain has a set of chess, do you want me to get it for you?" The bear asked kindly, Aivy nodded and the bear went off again, but this time to get her a chess board and chess pieces. Aivy really started to like the bear.

"Come in." Law spoke when he heard someone knock on his door, but a surprised look entered his face when he saw the bears head peak around the opening of the door.

"Captain, can I have the chess board with the pieces, Aivy's bored." The captain nodded at the bear and watched amused as the bear grabbed the chessboard and left his office again. This woman started to interest him more and more. Maybe he would go out to the control room and watch the two play the game, maybe even challenge the woman for a game himself.

Bepo walked back on the deck to where Aivy was enjoying the sun. Aivy looked up at the bear who had found a chess board. Aivy grinned, she like chess. It was a game where you had to think. One wrong move and game over. In that way, it resembled life very much. Aivy liked to keep certain things real.

"You're in for a game of chess, Bepo?" Aivy dared the bear as he started setting up the board game; she looked up at the control room to see nothing; damn blinded windows. She shrugged and Bepo made the first move, he insisted he was the white party. Set by set the game progressed and Aivy seemed to be winning, Bepo was a good opponent though. Even though he was a bear, he had an intelligence matching one from a clever human. Carefully, Aivy speculated her next move and the consequences it would bring. If she moved her knight, she would be able to play check, but Bepo would be able to attack her rook, which was in a terrible situation if she didn't move it. She decided to sacrifice her rook, and move her knight. It was the right decision, because after a few more turns she played check mate. The bear drooped his head and sulked for a bit, but quickly turned to his normal state. Aivy was definitely enjoying the bears company. Okay, she was a sucker for animals. No shit, she totally sucked for them. She actually had the constant urge to cuddle with the bear, and that is actually very unlike Aivy her personality.

"Miss Lamarr," the pirates captain's voice spoke. "May I challenge you for a game of chess." He asked Aivy and she simply smirked at him to cover her uneasiness. Law was a very good play, Aivy assumed, and there was no doubt he wanted something for her. Bepo reset the board game, replacing the chess pieces to their very first spot. Aivy was just a tiny bit nervous. She would loose, but heck, no way she was gonna decline this challenge. Maybe she could pull it off.

"Why not?" Aivy nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders, but her eyes intensely followed her opponents movements. And that opponent was very aware of it. A smirk caught her eyes. He was definitely up to something. Law got to play the white party and he hummed in an amused way. He was pondering about his first move. First moves are very important. He decided to move a pawn. Clever, Aivy thought sarcastically. She carelessly moved a pawn on the far right of the board. She was getting very annoyed with Law, staring at her with that damn smirk on his face. Aivy frowned at his next move.

"If I win, you officially join my crew, no buts." This surprised her. So she could get to chose something if she won. Well she was very unlikely to win, she was aware of that. Law was by far better at chess than her. But she could give it a try with a nonchalant counter attack.

"And you lose, you guys will drop me off at the very next island."

"Alright." Law spoke, a grin broke out on his face. The intensive chess game went on with another 15 minutes. Aivy clearly taking her time over thinking her moves and sets, while the man opposing her was staring at her, the ever-amused smirk still present. Aivy quickly shot the man a glare while she started thinking about her moves again. She sighed. She moved her Bisshop, it was the only option, to attack at least one of the opponent of the enemy, not immediately leaving the king in danger, and not immediately losing a peace. Such a boring move. However was able to counter her move. Aivy could swear, she was going to get a head-ache from the both the chess game and the ever staring captain. He was insidely laughing at her, and she knew it. Law knew he was going to win from her. And Aivy just wished she wasn't so careless in the beginning. She always head-first runs into things. She wished she never let her fun loving personality get the better of her the day before. Just because she wanted to have some fun, she was now being shipped off to another Island and- no she was stuck on the ship. She was going to be part of Heart Pirates. If she wanted or not, she didn't really have choice anymore. She never had one anyway.

"It's your turn." Law stated, now curiously gazing at the woman sitting before him.

"I was over thinking my next move." Aivy spat at the man.

"You weren't," Aivy looked up at Law, how was he able to tell? "I could tell by the way you were glaring at the wooden floor." Law stated matter-of-factly, answering Aivy's un asked question. Aivy could swear if he were to be a girl then he would be checking out his nails right now. But he wasn't and that comment was irrelevant, but Law was winning, both parties knew; Aivy was doomed. Damn this game chess and Aivy swore she was never going to play it again with this man. She moved her queen. She was wiped out.

"Checkmate." She could cry right now.

Law had wanted to grin at the girl. She had glared at him few times, the look on her face was hilarious. She was losing and she had known it from the beginning. Law took advantage of her sense of pride and challenged her. He already figured out she couldn't decline. In the beginning, she had been nonchalantly playing the game. But then her chances of victory started to narrow down. Law was already winning from the start. The pressure on the woman's shoulders would become too big, and Law was an advanced chess player. He calculated every set within 10 seconds, while his opponent took all the time she needed.

"I guess you are officially a Heart Pirate now." Bepo suggested, looking at the both of them. Shachi and Penguin had somewhere along the middle of the game, started watching the both of them play. Bepo informed the two on the playing conditions and they both 'ah'ed at it , and Penguin just grinned when the girl was sulking about her loss.

"No problem girl, you'll be in fine hands on this ship." Aivy dismissed the pirate, which she recalled to be Penguin, with some curses and a fuck off at the end of her long line with curses. Shachi just laughed at the woman, but soon followed his crewmate to soothe the girl, sometimes throw in a flirt. Law had his victory and he would leave the woman alone, for the time being, letting her restore her pride first. Maybe he would do that. Law just slyly smirked. He had his new crewmember. Aivy sat there in a far corner sulking. She had been so stupid. So stupid, she contemplated bashing her head against the wall, but as she already had a headache, worsening it was not exactly her number one priority. Maybe, just maybe, she could escape on the next island. She missed her fun, and she know she couldn't use her hallucinations on this crew, or Law would come down to haunt her himself. Damn, damn this all. Aivy randomly cursed a long line of swearing again, getting curious looks from her new crew mates.

"Your own loss, girl." Shachi stated to her, shrugging his shoulders along the spoken sentence.

"Could've known that he is one of the better chess players out there." Penguin said, with some sympathy in his voice. She appreciated them, yes she did. They were just trying to cheer her up. She could actually like the crew, if it weren't for that damn Law. Suddenly going all like, 'you're my new crewmember and there's nothing you can do about it, because you will lose anyway.' And hell yeah that was true. But even though they were trying to cheer her up, she couldn't accept the fact, that she yet again, made the wrong choice. Okay, just once. Aivy stood up and walked over to a random wall and bashed her head against the wall, just once really hard.

"O-Oi, you're gonna damage yourself!" Penguin screeched while Shachi, "You're destroying the ship!" Just said something completely different.

"Couldn't. Care. Less." Aivy glared at them and they seemed to shrink. Then Bepo came over to Aivy, "You're practically my subordinate now, so I get to command you." Bepo somewhat happily said. Aivy couldn't help but chuckle at the bear.

"Sure." Aivy replied while Penguin and Shachi simply sweat dropped. They knew the whole process, Bepo had gone through that with them as well, but they had in fact expected the young lady to get mad at the bear, not softly chuckle at the bears statement.

"Penguin, Shachi, what's happening down here?" yet another voice boomed across the deck. Who was this, yet another crewmate… Aivy just stood there, awkwardly trying to find out who it was. She had no fucking idea.

"Oh by the way, I'm Callum." Apparently Callum. Aivy waved, "Aivy, pleased to meet you." Aivy far from exited said. Callum just laughed a really deep laugh. Oh no, this was a type to tell bad jokes. And laugh about it for ages. Aivy groaned inwardly. Callum went to shake her hand, and he grabbed her limb hand and excitably shook it around, as if he was trying mix a drink. When Callum was done shaking her hand and laughing hard, she went to the kitchen, maybe Daniel could use some help. If she was going to be stuck on this ship for the rest of her life, might as well make-her own ass useful. Aivy tried to find her way to the kitchen, and luckily she did. She found Daniel chilling at the table with a book; she really had to ask where to get a book on this ship.

Aivy greeted the man, "Yo'." Daniel looked up to find a bored girl, looking uninterested at the kitchen.

"Hello, why'd ya come all he way out here?" Daniel asked with a mocking grin playing on his facial features, glancing at Aivy

"I dunno, I thought, maybe I go help out, because I just lost the bet with Law." Aivy complained. Really she needed someone to complain to, and Daniel seemed like the perfect victim right now. Well, however she knew Daniel for maybe one hour, she could already assume he was going mock her and laugh at her, but give her advice nonetheless. She ploffed down on the chair opposing him.

"But you look like you're done already, so I'm just gonna annoy you." Aivy smirked. But he counter-smiled with one of his own.

"Hm, annoy me right." Daniel mused. Aivy started to look at Daniel, she had briefly looked at him before, but she didn't know his age, but she would've guessed the man to be around 24 or less.

"Say," Aivy mused, "How old are you?" At her question Daniel just chuckled deeply in reply.

"I'm 27 years old, what about you pretty lady?" Daniel questioned in reply, quirking an eyebrow in reply.

"18 sir." Aivy mock saluted at Daniel, making him laugh. Daniel closed his book, shoving it aside putting all his attention to the young woman in front of him. He leaned his chin on his hand, while Aivy placed her chin on her folded arms that rested on the tables.

"Tell me more about you, Miss Lamarr." Daniel began, sounding genuinely interested.

"Well, I ran away from home when I was 15, and then I got lost somewhere in the grand line." Aivy sheepishly smiled at the memories, to Daniel they seemed to be good memories, but Aivy knew better.

"Why'd you run away?" Daniel carefully pressed the matter, obviously not wanting to anger the lady.

"I was more or like rebellious against my parents, so I decided I'd run away." Aivy simply stated, half telling the truth.

"Do you regret leaving?" Daniel asked giving the girl a serious look, for all he knew, the girl just might be homesick, but trying to cover it up. But instead of doing what Daniel expected, Aivy grimaced at the question.

"That's the one thing I will never regret doing." Aivy was glaring daggers at the shape she was tracing with her fingers on the wooden table. She clenched her fist and her knuckles started to turn white.

"So, did you go alone?" Daniel said, genuinely wanting to find out more about the girl. She narrowed her eyes, she knew where this was going, but she wasn't going to spill more.

"I'd like to stop talking about this matter." Aivy somewhat politely declined his question. So it was a yes, Daniel assumed.

"Alright, well you came down here to help right," Daniel said looking past Aivy, probably a clock. "If you want, you can help me prepare lunch." Aivy smiled, finally something to do. Aivy stood up, awkwardly walking behind Daniel into the corner where the kitchen was.

"Hm, let's see," Daniel pondered for a small moment. "You can chop some vegetables and then slice the meat." Daniel decided, while he grabbed all the cooking gear.

After a good half our, they were done cooking and, supposedly Logen, came in to ask if he needed to get the others. This time she would get to face the whole crew. At once. So many men… Aivy sighed and Daniel shot her an amused look.

"You'll get used to it." Aivy glared at him, but quickly let her face droop again.

"Yeah, I'll get used to no freedom. Law will likely hunt me down as soon as I try to run away." Aivy scowled at her plate. She heard footsteps and she looked up to see Bepo, Logen and Law walking in. Aivy frowned and she went back to tracing patterns on the table. Aivy bit her lip, and went to think some more. What if she would just run as hard as she could, not stop until they stopped? Aivy could run pretty far, but she likely couldn't run that far. She'd have to run until the next town, which probably wasn't there. She probably wouldn't be able to use her hallucinations on the crew, they were likely to dodge like penguin did before. Wow, she still didn't want to give up. She gave all her options another once-over and sighed.

"Why the bad mood?" Law mockingly teased her and in return Aivy glared at him.

"Well, what do think, Law." He had been smirking, but his face fell back to serious as soon as she called his name.

"I believe I've told you that you are to address me with Captain." Law coldly stated, Bepo, Logen and Daniel awkwardly staring at the two of them.

"Hm, alright, captain." Aivy sighed angrily. Though from the rumors she heard, that Law killed countless man because they were ordering him around. Well, couldn't exactly blame him. Got himself a new crewmate who refuses to recognize his authority. Well, damn him. She was definitely giving him a hard time.

It didn't take long before the remaining crew mates entered the gallery as well. They all sat down and Bepo sat next to her, and next to Bepo, at the head of table, sat their beloved captain. Every now and then, Aivy would shoot him a glare and he would only amusedly smirk at her. He assumed that she was still angry at him for winning the game of chess, but she was actually mad at him for existing.

We'll reach the island in another 2 days, if we don't run into problems or storms, the longest it will probably take is 4 days at the least." Logen excitedly informed. "Though the next island is a spring island, it's quite cold because it's supposed to have twin sister island, and that one is a winter island. So it's more or less like a half spring half winter island." Logen continued, Law nodded and Aivy just glared at Law.

"Hm, any interesting culture on the island?" Law queried, being interested in the next island. The previous island had only been considered a pirate hotspot. He wanted something interesting to fill his book collection. Law glanced at the angry woman, he smirked at her. Someone couldn't deal with losing obviously. She would every now and then send him venomous glares and he would sent a smug grin in reply. Oh, yes he was enjoying himself.

"Um, yes, this weird culture likes to kidnap people and sacrifice them so some kind of god." Logen stated warily grabbing the book about the island. It was more or less some kind of history book, with the basic things about the islands. Law was sure to find more interesting books about the history and origin.

"Hm, interesting." Law said, this was going to be nice island. Law smirked when his hallucination creator shot him once lost, venomous, deadly glare. Yes indeed, a very interesting island.
