Chapter 4: The Surgeon of Death
What do I do I can't just leave her here! Bepo thought to himself as he continued fighting off the many marines that were now attacking him trying to get to Haruna.
Hopefully the Captain won't get mad... Bepo thought to himself as he then picked up Haruna and threw her over his shoulders like a sack of potatoes and continued to kick his way through the remaining marines to get back to the yellow submarine.
"Captain. I didn't really know what to do with her...and she's pretty beat-up" Law heard Bepo say as he then turned around to see Bepo carrying the brunette girl, that the marines had been after on his shoulder.
"Take her to the infirmary." Law said as he watched Bepo head into the yellow sub with the beat up looking girl in his arms.
Law knew that there was something mysterious about Haruna, this being obvious when the marines started fighting like crazy in order to keep her on their ship. Though what he didn't understand was why,but it was something that he was going to find out.
"Penguin, let everyone on the ship know that we are going to submerge." Law said to penguin still looking at the marine ship which was now scattered with either beaten or dead marines or even a mixture of both.
"Alright Captain." Penguin said as he then yelled for the remaining Heart Pirates to get back on the yellow submarine.
Law then took one last look at the Marine ship that they had invaded then walked back into the yellow submarine with his hands in his pockets.
After about fifteen minutes the Yellow Submarine had finally submerged leaving just the invaded pathetic looking Marine Ship floating on the ocean, covered with bodies out knocked out or dead marines though there was one marine on the whole ship-who call him a coward had not been beaten or killed due to the fact that he had been hiding in the Captain's quarters watching the whole thing.
This Marine happened to be none other than Fuji, who had warned the Captain about the ship being invaded but instead of listening to the Captain and going out to fight the Heart Pirates stayed and hid inside the Captain's quarters.
"Finally they are gone, I already knew from the start we were no match for them anyways." Fuji said out loud as he then looked out from the Captains quarter's window at all of his fallen comrades.
"How bothersome we put the girl in the storage room so that she couldn't have any contact with the other prisoners and yet she still manages to make friends and escape." Fuji said out loud in frustration, when suddenly he stopped his rant when he heard a voice coming from the Transponder Snail.
Hello? Hello? Damn it Tashigi! you said that someone was one this line! An angry deep voice said through the transponder snail, causing Fuji to quickly run over and pick up the transponder snail speaker.
"Uh- hello is this the new Vice admiral Smoker?" Fuji said his voice a bit shaky.
Who else would it be? You were the one's who contacted me, so what do you want? Smoker said his voice a bit harsh due to his irritation.
"My name is Fuji Moko I'm a marine on the ship 223 and we found a girl who we thought to be dead, floating in the ocean. Though when we pulled her on board she was indeed alive. When we tried to question her she was uncooperative and proved that she had some kind of ability as if she was a Devil Fruit user. Though we found her in the water, and like they say Devil Fruit user's cannot swim. Then when we tried to contact you to see what we should do Trafalgar Law and his pirate gang invaded our ship. Succeeding in killing the Captain, most of the crew, and taking the girl with them." Fuji concluded taking a deep breathe after having to say so much.
The transponder snail was then silent for what it seemed a long time before Smoker continued to speak through it.
What did the girl look like? Smoker said his voice as demanding as ever.
"She was a tall brunette girl, looked to be about seventeen or eighteen. Wore strange clothing and had a lock shaped tattoo right below her collar bone." Fuji said as he remembered what Haruna had looked like, when they pulled her out of the ocean.
And what kind of power did she demonstrate? Smoker's voice boomed over the transponder snail as he was trying to get a metal image of what the girl looked like.
"Well I don't quite know, but by the looks of it when I myself reached out and tried to make her talk to the Captain she quickly dodged my attack as if she knew what I was going to do before I even did it..." Fuji said nervously as he recalled the incident with Haruna.
Call the marine medicial support so that they can help you, Don't tell anyone else about this strange girl. I myself will be the one to hunt her down and see if she's a real threat or not. Her and Trafalgar Law. Smoker said over the transponder snail his voice determined.
As both marines then hung up the Transponder snail with a slam.
What, where am I? Haruna thought to herself as she slowly opened her eyes and let them adjust on the pale ceiling that she was now looking up at.
Crap. It was a miracle I got out of that storage room in the first place by using the old 'I have to go to the bathroom' trick, then running like hell when they opened the doors. But I highly doubt that will work twice. Haruna thought to herself was a sigh.
Haruna's body felt like she was trying to move heavy weights as she shifted her body around in what she came to realize was a plain infirmary bed, as she then sat up nervously to get a better look at her surroundings.
The Infirmary was a rather plain dull looking room which beside the bed that Haruna was lying on, had two more in the corners of the room. The only real reason Haruna could tell that the smallish room was a infirmary in the first place was due to the medical supplies and books that littered the counter top in the room. As if someone was constantly in there studying and rearranging the equipment.
Why is it whenever I seem to wake up, I have no idea where I'm at these days. Haruna thought to herself as she quickly looked away from all of the medical equipment, that was actually making her feel quite nervous. As Haruna then painfully pulled her body out of the infirmary bed with a groan as she looked down at herself thankful that she was still wearing her normal clothes and not some hospital gown like they would of done in some hospital.
Whatever this place is I've got to get outta here, and try and find a way back home. Haruna thought as she then slowly pulled the infirmary door open and quietly walked out of the room and headed down the long corridor.
Oh crap somebody's coming! Haruna thought to herself as she suddenly heard footsteps and voices approaching her. Knowing that she had to get out of sight fast she desperately ran around the the hallway pulling on door knobs, only to find that they were all locked.
Just as the two Heart Pirates were about to round the corner Haruna then finally found a open door and quickly pulled the door knob and went inside the room. Sighing in relief as she then heard the footsteps walk past the room.
"You know you really shouldn't walk into other peoples rooms, uninvited." Haruna heard a smooth voice say as she turned around in shock. Not realizing that someone was actually inside of the surprisingly large bedroom.
"I-" Haruna then couldn't even finish her sentence as she then saw a tall, tan pirate leaning causally against the bathroom door frame, with gray eyes which she noticed were lazily examining her. And though the strange man was not wearing his usual hat, Haruna didn't need it to figure out who the man was. His raven black hair and the yellow and black shirt that bluntly stated his own jolly roger spoke for him. There was no mistaking it, being the One Piece fan she was she then knew that this had to be the Surgeon of Death himself- Trafalgar Law.
Haruna then quickly adverted her eyes as she realized that she was staring, and cursed as she felt herself even blush a little.
The anime or the manga does not give him enough justice, He's actually very handsome. Haruna thought to herself, when all the information that she knew about his character suddenly came flooding into her mind. As she quickly thought about one obvious fact that she knew about him.
He may be handsome but he isn't exactly well known for his kindness. And here I am just busting into his bedroom like a maniac! Of all the ships to end up on!Haruna thought to herself as she looked into his gray eyes again, fear and intimidation running down her spine. As she then cleared her throat to try and explain just why she was in his room, since it was clear that Law was still waiting for an answer.
Though not coming up with a logical answer, she decided to play reverse physiology and answer his question or well statement with one of her own.
"You also should know that it isn't a good idea to kidnap people you don't know either." Haruna said making her brown eyes level with his. Trying to make her voice sound serious and dangerous so that he couldn't hear the nervousness in her voice, when really part of her wanted to sprint out of his room at full speed.
"Hn Fair enough. What's your name?" Law said noticing how a flicker of hesitation flashed in the girl's eyes before she then answered him calmly.
"My name is Haruna." Haruna said as she raised her left arm out of habit so that she could run her hand through her hair, like she often did when she was nervous. Though as she tried to raise her arm she was rewarded with a sharp pain that shot down from her shoulders, making her remember that she actually had been shot in the shoulder and after knocking into Bepo (who she knew was himself, after now seeing Law) passed out due to blood lose.
"Haruna...hn...Well Haruna would you mind telling me why the Marines are after you so badly?" Law questioned quickly getting to the point. Though Law was known for his patience when it came to being the expert strategist that he was. It didn't mean he was patient in all things, suspense being one of them.
"I don't really know, they just saw my tattoo and thought I was some pirate, then when I slapped some marine's hand away they thought I was a Devil Fruit user." Haruna said looking over at Law to try and figure out what he was thinking. Though she didn't tell him the weird feeling she got when she had slapped the Marine's hand away. How she had managed to figure out what the Marine was going to do, even before he had did it.
Law, honestly after this didn't really know what to say or think. He had suspected that after the whole incident of the Paramount War that they Marine's would be highly suspicious of any pirate that could pose a possible treat to themselves, by why suspect a girl like her.
That is unless she's not telling me the whole truth. Law thought to himself as he looked over Haruna for any sighs that could give away the she was lying. Though all she looked was nervous and dramatized.
"How did you even get on that ship?" Law said to Haruna, making her instantly tense up.
What in the world am I suppose to tell him!? Uh yeah I'm really from another world and somehow when I got thrown into the ocean back in my world I ended up here, floating in your world ocean and the marines found me. Haruna thought to herself as she started to panic, knowing that chances of Law not believing her if she indeed told him the truth and him using his Devil Fruit powers on her to cut her into bits was pretty high.
So like any other person would of do if they were in her place, she told what her mother always told her was called a White Lie.
"On my island, that I live on I was-uh fishing to get food when a huge wave hit and knocked me out of my boat causing me to hit my head on a sea stone, then I just woke up on the marine ship." Haruna said lamely wanting to slap herself in the face for trying to fool him into believing such a stupid story.
Law stood there looking at her taken aback. Never before had he met anyone brave enough or stupid enough to tell him such a obvious lie like Haruna had just done.
The awkward silence was then broken between the two of them, when Bepo suddenly came into the room also unannounced.
"Captain! The injured girl that I put into the infirmary has gone missing!" Bepo said trowing up his hands or better yet paws.
"I think I've found her." Law said as he then motioned his head to Haruna, who was actually standing right near Bepo and for some reason Law noticed she was now smiling.
