"Bepo!"

As Law got close to Bepo, his 'Room' ceased to exist and the large piece of metal fell from the high, right into one of the submarine's extremities - Franky and the others exchanged looks, nobody knew what to do.

Submarine? Bepo? Captain?

Jean was the one to take action:

"Leave Bepo with the Captain! Make sure the submarine doesn't get overflowed!"

Franky who saw that, swam back to help the Heart Pirates with their submarine.

Law on the other hand was trying to find the wound that Bepo had taken on his place. His mind wanted to question why, wanted to blame himself, but he had the 'doctor mode' on.

Law used his 'Room' on Bepo in order to feel what was inside of him; if it still was inside and in that case, where it was.

Knowing all this info, he started to perform his operation – he was really mad, the projectile was made to burst into several tiny other projectiles, and then it really struck him that Bepo not only had save him from being hurt and in pain, but also from a very painful and slow death.

The bullets had seastone on them, and as soon as the fragments touched his skin, Law lost his 'Room'.

He yelled for Sachi and Penguin; he needed their help. His 'Room' could be failing on him all the time, so it could become a liability.

Not so far away from where they were, Usopp grabbed his slingshot, and aimed to where he saw the shoot coming from.

There was no other living being on the island, so it was terribly easy to calculate where the other shooter were – and that's when he froze, he was aiming at the enemy, but the enemy was aiming at him as well.

He couldn't waste time, he fixed his aiming and shot – one of them would hit the target. Let the best shooter win.

And everything went black.

Law was with Sachi and Penguin taking care of Bepo when he heard another shot. He briefly looked at the sea and counted how many people were there, seeing no casualties, he knew that his medical services would be needed for Sanji or Usopp.

"Penguin! Take the medical kit and go help Nose-ya and Black Leg-ya! Jean! Move the rocks to make a barrier! Those who aren't working on the submarine, help me bring Bepo to cover!"

Sanji stopped when he heard the second shot. He then turned and looked to where Usopp was and saw him lying on the ground.

He was running to Usopp only to meet Penguin on the way.

They both bent down near to Usopp, Penguin was putting pressure on the wound, and Sanji asked if there is something he could do to help.

"Looks like it missed the major arteries. We just need to take him to my Captain."

They didn't get to say much more, as both of them were teleported behind a rock.

Law was panting, because even if he tried to avoid the seastone parts on the bullet fragments, he still touched it from time to time.

He ordered his crew around, all of them working as a sole organism, as his attention went to where Penguin and Sanji were.

From afar he could see that Usopp was down, so he quickly made a big 'Room' and moved them away from there. He could not take any risks; he wasn't sure if Nose-ya had taken the shooter down, and thanks to the flat terrain, they all were easy targets.

Seeing Law act so methodically and unattached to their friend was a little disturbing.

It is Usopp!

It is the Bear that is always close to Law, how can he be so unaffected?

Sanji was accustomed to see Chopper show his worries and fear, to be sympathetic to their pain - there was always something warm about their little doctor.

But Law was so apathetic, he gave orders, he dealt with the problems. But to Sanji it was like the seeing two friends being treated like two pieces of meat - laid on the ground while being analyzed by a butcher, the butcher deciding how to cut them open.

His thoughts were interrupted when Law spoke to him with a deadpan expression upon his face.

"Will you help or will stay here doing nothing?"

Law didn't wait for their answer and continued to talk.

"Go look for the one that was shooting at us. If he is unhurt he can report our position. We need to avoid it at all costs. Jean! Go with him!"

~~ Close to the Submarine's Group ~~

Shit!

That was a close call.

He was sure that he hit the shooter, but he missed Trafalgar.

The orders were clear; kill the doctor and take his devil fruit.

But he hadn't count on the bear to interfere.

And then he had noticed the other shooter aiming at him. This damn island was a problem to everyone - he aimed back and shot, and to his fear something hit him right in the face.

At first he was surprised that it wasn't a bullet, but then he got really scared. A bullet would mean certain death, but whatever that flower was, it left him paralyzed, which was worse than being dead; he couldn't be caught by the enemy while being dead, at least.

That was when he heard the steps coming towards him.

On the basis of the noise, it sounded like it was more than one person on their way towards him. He could do nothing but wait.

~~ Submarine's Group - Sanji & Jean ~~

Jean was a really quiet guy.

Among all the Heart Pirates, he was the most imposing in size and raw force. If Sanji hadn't known better he would have clearly assumed that Jean was the Captain - but then again, from what Law had told them, Jean was in fact an ex-Pirate Captain.

He didn't get much time to think, when they arrived by a man lying on the ground, who wore a dark blue hat and a cape. The man calmly looked back at them.

~~ Unknow area/Unknow island - Zoro ~~

He was certain that Robin had been right in front of him, but then the woman had been forced to change directions without warning him.

He wasn't lost per see; it was the island that kept changing the directions of the things.

He tried to remember from where he had come, he was sure it had been from the East, so he turned and started to walk back – he was walking in circles, however, which was unfortunate for him.

He was getting really frustrated from walking and getting nowhere - he even thought about lying down and taking a nap, in order to attempt to find the others later.

But then he heard from a very familiar voice loudly and clearly saying "AMAZING!" afar.

His first thought was, what the hell was Luffy doing here, wasn't he with that creepy doctor?

The reason he didn't care anymore was because he was going to find Luffy and bring him back to the submarine, since it was clear that his Captain had no idea of where he was.

~~ Unknown area/Unknown island - Luffy ~~

Luffy was distracted by his own thoughts.

Then he saw an old man making really big soap bubbles in all types of forms and colors.

He had never seen anything like that, not that big, not that colorful - it was beautiful and amazing.

He wanted to learn doing, so he could ask Franky or Usopp to do something similar to him.

He was sure that even Law would find it amazing!

Not wasting any time, he run to where the old man was.

"OIE! OIE! OLD MAN WITH THE BADASS SOAP BUBBLES! OIE!"

The old man didn't appear to hear him and took a big scare when Luffy jumped in front of him, making the old man faint.

"Oie!? Old man?"

~~ Submarine's Group ~~

Jean and Sanji brought the man back to where Law and the others were.

They put the man on the ground as Law approached them, his face dead serious.

"Can you speak?"

"..."

"It's for your best that you don't lie to me. So I will ask again. Can you speak?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now, why did you attack us?"

The man gave a little smile, looking at Law without fearing that the present ones would think any sane man would have showed.

"I didn't attack your crew or anyone else. I attacked you, and the bear got in the way, then the shooter attacked me and I shot back."

"So, why me?"

"Don't play dumb Trafalgar. You know who I am. And you know why I tried to kill only you."

Sanji could not hold his mouth the right way anymore and was ready the kick some sense into the guy - what a nerve to attack them and then say it was their own fault for being in the way!

But Law stopped him before he was able to do something.

"Wait a minute Black Leg-ya. I still have some questions."

Law looked down at man lying immobile on the ground, and made his point clear with an icy stare and an even more dangerous tone:

"You are helpless. Your life and how you will leave her is in my hands. So you better tell me where the others from your crew are."

"You should not worry about it, Trafalgar. We knew that you're on this island, we knew that you just left, and we knew that you came back with the Straw Hats. We didn't do a massacre only because we didn't want to."

They all stood in silence.

"Room!"

And then for the first time they saw a reaction from the man.

"You're in no position to play games with me..."

The man gulped and talked back to Law with a great might - his intention unclear to anyone at the moment.

"You shouldn't worry about me. You should ask yourself where Straw Hat Luffy is, since he doesn't have an entire crew to protect him."

Sanji was ready to make that man pay.

He was saying that they were after his captain. There was no way that he was going to obey Law and stand still. The same could be said of Franky, who was walking to them, ready to make that man sing.

But both of them were caught by surprise because of Law's reaction.

The doctor got down, grabbed the man by his shirt and brought him close to him, his sword drawn.

"You better tell me right now what your crew aims to do with Luffy-ya or I will have to drag your Captian's attention by spreading your pieces around the island, Van Augur!"
