Here is chapter 7 :) I decide to put out another ridiculous character…. This is kind of my Valentine's Day story I'm putting it up early.

Hope you enjoy

I do not own One Piece. (If I did Law would so be in the next chapter of the manga.)

Chapter 7: The Gallant Captain Prince Charming

Skye sat below decks in the engine room, working on the compressor. 'Looks like I need to have a talk with whoever steers this damn sub.' She mentally cursed whoever had been driving so reckless with the sub; the poor thing can't take much. She began moving her left arms at the shoulder in a circle; she was sore from all the training her and Bepo were doing, and moving heavy gears didn't help at all. Her whole body ached as she stood up, Bepo was determined to make her a better fighter; she was covered in bruises from all the hand-to-hand combat training she had been doing. Bepo may seem cute and fluffy on the outside, but don't underestimate him. He was a kung fu fighting bear.

It had taken five days for the long pose to set back at Akiyama Island; Skye was thankful that she no longer had to share a room with Law. Not that she minded but it was a bit distracting when he walked around the room in nothing but his boxers, looking extremely fine. Skye shook the memory from her mind, ignoring her speeding heat beat. She laughed as her face began to flush; she began tightening the bolts when she heard a loud thump above her. She looked up at the ceiling in confusion.

"What have those guys done now?" She said exhausted already. She put the wrench down and wiped the grease off her hands. She looked up the ceiling again when she heard an unknown man's voice began to argue and yell. She rolled her eyes and began walking up the stairs.

On deck…..

"Get off my ship." Law said calmly. He was leaning against the sleeping Bepo. Law had been enjoying a mid-day nap when James came and told him there was an approaching ship. Law waved it off, if they wanted a fight they wouldn't get one from the Heart Pirates, at least not at the moment. As the ship approached a tall, tan man with long wavy blonde hair, jumped down from his ship and landed in front of Law with his sword drawn. Law opened his eyes and found the Captain of the Knightly Pirates in front of him. He was wearing metal armor; he had a beard that matched his blonde hair.

"Let us dual, Sir Trafalgar Law of the North Blue!" He yelled his green eyes sparkled in excitement.

"You're too loud." Law said lazily from the floor, he closed his eyes and tried to go back to sleep. 'Are you serious? First I had to fight some pirate that went by Pasty Gansta and now this guy. I'm not even going to attempt.'

"Are thee a coward? Too frightened to dual, Sir Captain Prince Charming!" The man yelled sticking his chest out and putting his hands on his waist, trying to look manly. Law's eyes snapped open and glared at the figure then he stood up. Prince Charming was a good three inches shorter than Law; Law towered over the shorter man. Law was about ready to show this man exactly why he refused to fight him when a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"What's going on up here?" Skye yelled as she emerged from the door; she was grinning with her normal smile. She had a grease stain on her left cheek, and her hair was thrown up in a messy bun. Her sleeves were pulled up revealing long, lanky good and metal arms; she was wearing her camouflage pants, brown hoodie, and combat boots. She looked from Law to Prince Charming, and laughed. "Who is the twit?"

"Why in the four blues." The Prince muttered before running to her side. Skye's eyes widen when he knelt down on to one knee and grabbed her left hand and planted several kisses on her hand. The crew starred with their mouths wide open; the same thought ran through their mind, 'Seriously?' Law's smirk turned into a frown, he could fill his anger boiling up inside ready to explode.

"Um...hi… Can I have my hand back?" Skye said unsure of what to do. "Whoa!" He pulled her hand down to his chest and clasped it with both of his hands. He began quoting a sonnet that Skye knew very well.

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee."

'Seriously, Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare' She thought beforehe pulled her closer until his hand caressed the cheek of her face, his lips inches from hers.

Skye's face would have been comical if it weren't for the current situation. Her face was bright red, her lips pressed into a straight line, attempting to make it harder for him to kiss, and her eyes wide with shock, rage, and was that fear? Law's face on the other hand was quite frightening. He looked like he was ready to kill the man by taking out his organs and replacing them with fruit. Prince leaned in, closing his eyes to plant a kiss on Skye's pale lips; she threw up her right arm. Prince's eyes shot open he'd been expecting soft, warm lips not cold and hard; he looked down at her arm, reaching up with his free hand he trapped both her wrist in his large hand. Skye was desperately trying to pull away when Law came to the rescue. Law grabbed the Prince's long flowing hair and jerked him back, almost pulling Skye along with him.

"What do you think you're doing to my engineer?" Law whispered calmly in his ear. The Prince freed himself from Law's grip and drew his sword.

"We shall fight for the beautiful maiden's heart!" The Prince yelled and winked at Skye; Skye, regaining over the shock, quickly ran and hide behind Bepo, who woke up during the Prince's sonnet. "Of course if thy lady hath already decided." The Prince bowed towards Skye and gave an arrogant grin towards Law. "Of course no harm intended towards you Sir Trafalgar, but I believe any maiden on ship should be treated as if she was a fragile rose, that holds both grace and beauty." James and Clifford looked at each other and busted out laughing, falling to the floor.

"Did you just say Skye had grace?" James yelled as he held his stomach laughing.

"Seriously! Skye can't walk across a flat surface without tripping." Clifford said through each laugh. The Prince looked over to Skye (who was laughing with James and Clifford) and starred at her and then looked at the men (who were currently rolling on the floor laughing), a grimace came across his handsome face. He dashed forward and grabbed the men, pinning them against the floor, holding his sharp sword to their necks.

"How dare you offend thy maiden! Thou shall hang by thou toes." The man was furious, he looked up at Skye. "My lady, thee must join thy crew." He ran to her side and grabbed both of her hands and held it close to his chest; Skye's eyes widen 'Seriously? How many times did his mother dropped him on his head?' "We will sail the grand line together, and conquer the world together." He pulled her tightly against him.

"Okay… umm. Prince? I can't go with you. I have to take care of something first." Skye smiled sweetly at him.

"Will thee consider joining thy crew when all else is done?" The Prince bent down to where he was eye level with her.

"Yes, I will consider it..." Skye lied she couldn't help it he looked so desperate. He grabbed her face and pressed his lips against hers; Skye decided the best thing to do at the moment was to just stand there. 'The sooner he left the better'. Law's eyebrow shot up and his smirk disappeared from him clam face, he scowled at the man who was currently kissing Skye. He watched the scene in front of him in distaste and anger, he actually felt like he just received a hit below the belt.

Bepo's mouth open and closed, no noise came out, he looked over at Law scowling at the man. James and Cliff stare in complete shock, at the make out fest happing in front of them in disbelief. Skye pulls away, when she believed that was enough, and looked into the lust filled eyes of Captain Prince Charming and smiled.

"I think you should leave." Skye said calmly, but there was a hint of menace behind it. The Prince nodded, obviously not hearing the menace, and let go of her hands, he looked at the horror struck pirates and smugly smiled, before looking at Law, who looked like he wanted to destroy everything in sight.

"I bid thee farewell, Sir Trafalgar Law." He turned and kissed Skye on the hand. "Until we meet again, my fair lady." He bounded off the sub and onto his own ship, when the ship was safely out of distance, Skye let out a sigh and rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"Finally he left." Skye turned to find the horror struck pirates still starring at her. Feeling uncomfortable she turned and went below deck to finish the repairs, and practice her new fighting drills that Bepo taught her the other night.

"Captain?" Bepo asked carefully watching Law's face; Law gridded his teeth together.

"Let's go under." Law said and walked into the sub; the crew looked at each other and followed behind him quickly and quietly. They had never seen Law like this.

Dinnertime….

The crew ate in silence, watching Law and Skye carefully. Skye was actually enjoying the silence but did not like the stares she was getting from the crew. She looked up and glared at them; showing she knew perfectly well that they were staring. The crew looked down and shifted their gaze to their captain. He was staring down at his plate, and used his fork to mix his food together. He wasn't hungry; in fact all he wanted to do was get the hell out of the room. Skye stared in confusion at Law's behavior; he hadn't smiled, not even smirked, and he refused to look at her. 'What's the matter with him?' She thought to herself. Law felt her starring at him and slammed his hand to the table and roughly pushed out of his seat, taking his plate to the sink. Skye looked at him confused for a moment but rolled her eyes and stood up frowning, leaving her plate behind her and followed Law. The crew jumped out of their seats and huddled at the door watching the scene that was about to unfold.

"Law, what is your problem?" Skye yelled at Law's advancing back. Law stopped and turned slowly around, ignoring his heart as it skipped a beat.

"Oh, go and kiss another captain." Law retorted back and began walking away from her.

"Is that why you're mad? Because I told him I was considering joining his crew?"She yelled.

'Idiot! Did she even listen to him!' James, Cliff, and Bepo thought as they slammed their palms to their foreheads. He waved his hand over his shoulder dismaying the question. Skye's face flushed, an idea struck her. A wicked grin crossed her face and bent down and took off her boot.

"Hey Law." She yelled; as he turned, she threw the boot at his face, hitting him dead on in between the eyes. He stumbled back and grabbed his throbbing face.

"What the hell was that?" Law said yelled coldly, he was furious. He began marching up to her with murderous glare, but Skye had a plan. "Do you want to-" Law began yelling as he towered over her, their bodies' centimeters away, but was cut off when Skye grabbed his face and began kissing him passionately. Law's eyes widen in shock, his eyebrows shot up; only one thought passed through his mind, 'What?'

Skye moved her lips over his, and traced his lips with her tongue. Unsure of what to do Law grabbed her waste, pulling her closer and began kissing back. They began tasting and exploring each other's mouth when Skye pulled away, glaring at Law. Oh she was still mad at him, she only kissed him for two reasons. The first so she wouldn't die and the second….

"There, see? I'm interested in joining." Skye said curtly and walked away, leaving the confused Law and the even more stunned crew behind her. When she disappeared, the crew fell through the door, their mouths wide open as they starred at their captain. Law was staring out into space, thinking about what just happen, and wasn't quite sure if it actually did happen.

"Captain? Are you okay?" Cliff pushed his captain a little on the shoulder. Law looked at Cliff, James, and then Bepo.

"Did she just-" Law left the question in the air, he wasn't sure what had just happened.

"Yep." The three said together. Law looked down at the front of his trouser. 'Crap.' Law thought to himself.

"I thought so." Law sighed. "I'm going to my quarters; get me if you need me." He walked around in a daze. He made it to his room and shut the door behind him and leaned against the metal door. 'What in the world was that?' Law's heart was pounding hard against his ribs, he thought it was about to explode. He began breathing deeply, trying to calm himself. This was so unlike him was all that ran through his mind. He couldn't stop thinking about that damn kiss; obviously she done it to shut him up and to prove a point. So why was it that his heart wouldn't slow down? He slammed his head against the door, what was wrong with him? He had kissed plenty of girls before, hell he's not a virgin, but Skye's kiss was different somehow.

Captain's Quarters about Ten Minutes Later….

Law finally calmed down, he was breathing normal again and his heart beat was at its usual paste. Law twirled his hat around his finger as he laid on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, when a knock came at the door.

"Come in." Law said lazily, he heard the door open and then close, he didn't even look to see who it was. A small part of him wanted it to be Skye but the rest was begging it not to be.

"Captain?" Bepo said. 'Thank you, it's only Bepo.' Law sighed. He was glad it wasn't Skye, he doubted he could take much more confusion today.

"Yes?" Law said trying to sound like his normal self, so far he was succeeding.

"Jim said it'll be only a week before the next island." Bepo said only his head was poking through the door.

"That's good, shorter than are last trip." Law sat up and grinned at Bepo. "How long until we reach Sabaody Archipelago?"

"Maybe a month? It depends there is one more island after this one." Bepo said looking deep in thought.

"Excellent, is that all?" Law asked, he stood up and began walking to his desk.

"Yes captain." Bepo nodded and shut the door behind him. Bepo turned to leave but found Skye behind him, listening to the new information.

"We'll be at Sabaody Archipelago in a month? Are you positive?" Skye looked seriously at him. Bepo had never seen her like this, normally she was laughing or at least smiling.

"Yes, I'm sure." Bepo said nervously, her serious face was replaced by giddy smile. She wrapped her slim arms around Bepo and began to laugh, tears streaming down her face. "Skye are you okay?" Bepo asked alarmed.

"Yes Bepo, for once everything is perfect." Skye smiled up at him and ran off to the engine room. She would make it to Marine Headquarters on time, and then she would be free to do whatever she wanted to do. Her birthday was a month and three days away; they had three days they could spare. She threw herself across the bed and began kicking her feet in excitement. She sat up and realized something. 'What am I going to do afterward?'

Yay! I've made it to chapter 7!

Thank you for reading my story :)

So I just had a brainstorm recently, but I want to know what my readers opinions.

Would ya'll get mad if I did a time skip to two years instead of filling it in? After The War, that is? Of course I'll explain where she would be, and I would have to do a little OOCness to a certain character, but he would start off as his original self. Tell me in the reviews what ya'll think….
