chapter Four:Resilient spirit

"Welcome back,Law-kun"Monet greeted as Law laid his nodachi against the couch in the room,now back to wearing his usual expression of indifference as he gave the woman a small nod of acknowledgement" Where's caesar?"He question already knowing the answer to the question recalling how Luffy had called him out into battle by the front of the fortress,which was not part of the plan however,Law had expected such from the hyperactive female by now...

"He's outside dealing with some pests,what about you?"

Law paused for a moment picking up the hidden undertone she was giving him turning slightly to look at her over his shoulder as his piercing orbs narrowed"What do you mean?"

Monet shrugged innocently beginning to smile"You were gone for a while,just wondering if you perhaps might have run into some trouble out there..."she said trailing off as he gave an empty laugh continuing to walk away"Don't be ridiculous"he muttered

"You sure you didn't see strawhat luffy,by any chance?"A new voice added,a familiar one that sent chills down the dark doctor's spine as he froze in place swallowing a sudden lump in his throat "Heh,and when did you get here?"he asked evenly as he slowly turned to face the fake captain standing before him,a light tremor ran through his body as he did so"Vergo"

"It's rather nostalgic,wouldn't you say?"Robin commented as she sat beside her captain and Franky,perfectly at ease despite the heavy sea-stone chains that binded the three of them as well as the newly promoted smoker and Tashigi,who much like their own crew had their bodies switched with one another by Law

"Oh yeah,back in Alabasta!"Luffy jeered beginning to laugh as she thought of her time back in the desert country"Yeah,you really got us good back then!"

"SHUT UP ALREADY!"Smoker,while confined to his second in commands body,yelled feeling annoyance take over definitely not wanting to be in this situation ever again...

"Oh yeah,by the way anyone see Law-kun?"Luffy suddenly questioned realizing the person she held most dear was nowhere in sight"Heh,no need to worry your pretty little head strawhat,he's still alive"Vergo commented from where he sat across the room

"Hm?where is he?"Luffy asked once more,this time receiving no response to the question"Oi,Where is he!?"She asked with more force than before beginning to feel anger build up in her system at the prospect of something happening to him...

"ANSWER ME!"

She yelled out sending a small burst of haki along with the shout seeming to get the man's attention as he and the others now stared at her in slight shock"What the hell have you people done with him?"

'Dammit...!'Law thought struggling with the chains weighing heavily against his wrists and ankles,he tried melting them with his devil fruit powers,but now luck...

Vergo was no fool,he had used sea-stone chains instead of regular ones Law thought bitterly looking around for perhaps something sharp or hard to use to break free,the bitter taste of crimson blood still lingering in his mouth from the other man's heavy blows against him

"Lu-chan,I just hope you're doing a lot better than I am right now!"He said in a determined huff of annoyance figuring he was probably pushing his luck with such wishful thinking,but...decided not to dwell on it

"Why are you here?did Donflamingo send you?"Law asked hiding the feeling of unease that was slowly beginning to blossom in his chest,his foot slid back a few inches in an involuntary attempt to put distance between the two of them

"Yes,but not for the reason's you may think,Law"The elder man stated calmly while taking one step forward seeing the ever slight flinch that Law gave in response to the small movement"Are you still that afraid of me?"Vergo questioned recalling how he had beaten Law in the past,to the point where the younger had been severely traumatized...

"Afraid?No,Annoyed is probably a better word,just what does that maniac want now?"Law said referring to a certain cynical warlord

"He want's his brother back"

Law's fist clenched giving out an empty laugh of amusement"Tell him he can forget it,there's no way in hell I'll ever go back to that psychopath!"Law retorted aggressively hearing a heavy sigh pass the other man's lips"If he want's me back,he'll have to drag me"

"So be it then"

"Now tell me where Law is!"Luffy barked out one more with determined eyes as she remained in a deadlock of sorts with the three pairs of eyes belonging to caesar and his associates,whom looked at one another then back at her...

"Is he...alright?"Luffy asked changing the question,hoping he was at least doing okay

"He is...lively,to say the least"Vergo responded now looking away from the girl with his arms crossed against his chest hearing her give a sigh of utter relief"Though that can change very fast,depending on your behavior"

Luffy now froze,slowly shifting her eyes to glare at the man speaking in a dangerous and threatening tone"If you dare hurt Law,I will kill you"Vergo merely scoffed at the thought shoving it aside as though it were nothing"Try if you can,little girl"

A tense silence filled the space between the two that made the bystanders shift uncomfortably

"I'm curious Strawhat Luffy..."Vergo began deciding to mess with the girl's emotions a bit"...have you ever heard Law scream?I have,it's quite entertaining I must say..."

Luffy tensed thinking back to when she had lost her brother in the battle of Marineford,and felt broken and helpless..until Law came and helped her back onto her feet

"If you ask me personally,I think he's just one of those people who you love to watch break,to hear them give out their twisted cries of pain,seeing their tears of desperation stream down their faces..."

"How can you say something like that!?Do you have any idea how hard I even tried!?IT WASN'T MY FAULT!"she screamed back at him grabbing onto his collar and pulling him close so that his face was mere inches from her own as warm tears hit against his tan face"They were...too strong,I wasn't...strong enough"she said weakly

"Maybe I'll make you watch while I break your precious Law before your very eyes,as you sit there watching feeling helpless just like with your brother"

"And if you're afraid to lose someone again,then don't be...because..."

"No..."she said simply staring with a look of confidence despite the negative reinforcement vergo was giving otherwise"...Law won't break,not for you"she said in an even tone before her lips spread into the usual cheeky grin she always wore now

"...You're stronger than that,Strawhat Luffy"

"...He's stronger than that!
