Miss Magician's Assistant
Card tricks, coin tricks, hat tricks…pretty much every trick in the book was being used to entertain the children. This joyful celebration on Punk Hazard was quickly turning into a fabulous magic show with "Miss Magician" Nami as the main star. Even the G-5 troops were in awe of her well played magic tricks. The Cat Burglar certainly knew how to put on a good show.
"And for my next trick, I will need a volunteer," announced Nami, waving her arms wide open. "But I must warn you! This trick is not for the faint of heart! Any little slip up and it may mean your very end."
"That sound awesome," laughed Luffy, lifting both arms up. "Pick me, Nami! Pick meeeeee!"
All the men from G-5 were jumping up for the chance to assist the very sexy magician, no matter what the task entailed. Even some the kids seemed interested in the "death defying" magic trick. There were a bit of hand up volunteering in the crowd. Nami took her time scanning every one of them, but in the end her eyes fell on one man alone.
"Let's see, I pick you Traffy-kun," declared Nami, pointing her finger at the surprised Shichibukai.
"There must be something wrong with your eyes, Nami-ya," replied the Surgeon of Death. "I didn't lift my hand up to volunteer."
"Oh I see, you're scared to volunteer for this magic trick," jeered Nami, looking back into the crowd. "Allow me to find someone more appropriate for the deadly magic trick. Pepper, you're a 7-year-old girl, correct? Maybe I should choose you instead?"
Law growled as stood up and made his way up to the stage. How dare this woman call him out like that! Of course he wasn't afraid of any stupid magic trick!
"Wonderful! Now if you can please lay into the rectangular box," ordered Nami, as opened the box up.
Miss Magician grabbed his long sword as the Surgeon of Death positioned himself into the box. She closed and locked the box tight, allowing his head and feet to dangle outside the opening.
"May I please use your sword for the trick?" asked Nami, swaying the sword back and forth.
Law just blinked at her aimlessly.
"I'll take that as a yes," nodded Nami, pulling the blade out of the scabbard. "And now for my next trick, I will cut this man in half!"
The doctor rolled his eyes in aggravation. No wonder she picked him for such a trick! She was counting on him to do all the work. Wouldn't they see that she was a fraud? Depending on his devil fruit to get the job done?
Usopp and Chopper grabbed one another and screamed in horror. Even Luffy was screaming for Nami to reconsider such an act.
"Oi Nami! Wait! Traffy and I are in this super cool pirate alliance! You can't risk killing him yet!"
"Luffy! But what doing I'm doing for the sake of magic!"
Luffy nodded in agreement.
"Of course! Magic! Well in that case, if you kill Traffy I will forgive you."
Law let out a cough. He couldn't believe he was teaming up with such a pack of idiots.
"Ok here we go," announced Nami, pulling the blade over her head. "ONE! TWO!"
All the G-5 members and the children held their breath. Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp were shaking in anticipation. Law let out low sigh and slowly allowed his "room" open up around the box. The doctor grind his teeth together. She would pay for this later! She gave him a little wink before casting her strike.
"THREE!"
The woman had good aim. He had to admit that. The cut was clean and precise. The small round of applause was quickly met with cries of horror and dismay. A sound Law was a little too familiar with. To this dark doctor it sounded like…home. The orange haired magician could feel a sweat drop fall from her cheek. This was not the reaction she was expecting. Nami tried to reassure the crowd that her volunteer was still alive and well, but Law wasn't very helpful in backing her up. With a name like "Death" the man wasn't very lively to begin with.
"Oh my Oda! You killed Law," screamed Usopp.
"Nami, you bastard!" announced Luffy.
"Idiots," whispered Law and Nami together.
"Ye brutish woman!" hollered Kin'emon, pulling out his blade. "I have never seen such vulgarity! To be sliced in such a manner is…. humiliating! What fool that man was! Never would I allow such shame upon my family."
Law couldn't help react to this samurai's comment.
"Didn't I slice you into pieces and throw your ass to the dragon?"
"AHHHH!" shouted Kinemon. "That man is still alive! What witchcraft is this?!"
"It's MAGIC!" smiled Nami, placing Law back together and opening the box to reveal his full form.
The crowd cheered in amazement. Nami had a sigh of relief when she saw the smiles on the children's faces. Law stepped out of the box and stood by her side. He understood now why this woman went through all these foolish efforts to create such a theatrical performance. After all the troubles on this island, she wanted to give the children an exciting magic show. She wanted them to forget their worries and believe in magic. With magic, all their wildest dreams and fantasies could become a reality. He felt her small hand grip his long fingers. Law turned and gave her a small nod. It was a job well done.
Law suddenly noticed money being thrown onto the stage as the cheers grew louder. It appeared that the Marines were very much taken by the performance. The Surgeon of Death felt a tighter grip around fingers. He noticed the woman breaths were getting heavier as she clutched her chest. The doctor was concerned. Was she dealing with a heart attack? Law was quick to turn the woman around so she could face him.
"Nami-ya?"
But it was too late. Law was quickly blinded by the shine from her eyes. The doctor did his best to shield his eyes from the beaming glow.
"Nami-ya, what is wrong with your eyes?"
Miss Magician did not answer. Her smile only grew larger and her death grip stronger as the money piled up onto the stage.
Law could feel the sweat forming underneath his hat. This wasn't looking good. Although this was Law's the first magic show he had a sneaky suspension this was not his last.
"That was so cool!" cried out Luffy. "Me next, Nami!"
The dark doctor felt a small grin forming. Well perhaps it wouldn't be half as bad as originally thought. What's life and death without a little magic, hmmmmm?
Whoa! Flashback time! I actually had this idea from a while back during Punk Hazard and really wanted to write about it. Nami likes to call herself "Miss Magician" and I thought, "Hey! Law would be one hell of a magician's assistant!" and thus another Heart Hazard chapter was born! And I know what you're thinking…is that a South Park reference? So what if it is?! What are you going to do about it?! (whimpers) please don't hurt me :,,,3
BTW just in case you didn't notice! BAM! I'm back on the scene. Yup! That means more updates! Wahoo! Thank you for those that voted for my fic update. As you can tell, Heart Hazard won the chapter update and I am hoping to update Hostage & Fallen Kingdom shortly after. Thank you for your patience everyone! (cries) you are all so beautiful, man!
A big thank you for everyone that reviewed! You guys know who you are and you are all AWESOME *_* And another big thanks to the rest that read, fav, & follow this fic! You are all MAGIC! Till next time, peace!
