Law has been trying out different ways of using his devil fruit abilities on me. He could train his skills or create new abilities while punishing me or amusing himself. That super sadist.

"Room." The ever-so-familiar blue dome encased Law's whole bedroom. Law sat on his bed, back against the wall. I stood at the opposite end, near the door, desperately trying to get out of range. I managed to unlock the door.

"Tact." Law moved me to the centre of the room. "Stop moving too much, Nixie-ya." He picked up his sword, Kikoku. "We wouldn't want accidents now, would we?"

I can feel my body shivering from fear.

He held Kikoku in front of him, tip pointing down. "Scan."

I closed my eyes. When I didn't feel different, I opened my eyes. Law had a familiar piece of cloth in his hands. I froze. Isn't that…

"White ribbons today? You seem to like this type."

"LAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW! Give them back!"

"Give what back?" Law can be such an ass!

I tugged at my skirt. "My panties…" I murmured.

"I don't like being ordered, you know that very well." Law pointed a finger at me. "Scalpel." His fist thrust forward, and my heart popped out from behind me before it teleported to Law's hand.

"Don't steal my heart!"

"You are in no position to order me around. What was it you wanted again, Nixie-ya?"

"My heart… and panties…please. Captain-sama…"

"You're quite cute when you do that face. Come and get them yourself."

I need to secure my escape route. Even if I managed to take back my things, I'd still be trapped in Law's room. (Pun intended) I have to lower his guard and get him to deactivate his devil fruit ability. I should be able to get out of his bedroom after.

I put my arms around his neck. "Captain~ Don't be so mean to me~" Law was surprised at my unexpected action but was soon pleased. His Room disappeared. I slipped my stuff into my enchanted 'pocket'.

"Naughty girls should be punished."

I blew into Law's ear, turned around and ran. My noisy escape made Law realise he had been tricked.

"OI!"

I ran as fast as I could to my own room, narrowly escaping the range of Law's hands.

"Nixie-ya~"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" How did he get behind me so quickly?!

EEEEEK! Something went under my skirt!

9 Feb 1523

What was Law thinking? Send 100 pirate hearts to the Marines so that he can become a Shichibukai?! What's wrong with him? And I have to collect (and maybe mail) them.

And he had to keep them in my room. So gross. As if the beating of the hearts aren't gross enough...

1, 2,… 30 hearts. I still have another 70 to go…

"Stop complaining, Nixie-ya. How about this, after I become join the Shichibukai, you can come with me on a holiday. A winter holiday."

That depends on where, really. I don't want to go to a place where my life is endangered. But then again, being a pirate, nowhere is safe.

11 February 1523

I had this dream. I was back at my home village, specifically at my family's dojo. I was practicing when Law invaded my dream. We then had a long sparring match, mostly hand-to-hand combat. If the fight was real, Law would have probably broken several bones. If I was serious, I could probably kill people. I didn't realise when my village turned into the sub, but we were still fighting. It felt so real. But, it's still a dream.

When I woke up the next morning, I found my bedroom door opened. Law probably came into my room (again) and forgot to close the door on his way out (again).

I didn't see Law for the whole of today. He locked himself up for the whole day. I wonder what's wrong with him. I should stop baking sweets at night... Nah.

13 February 1523

I finally got 100 hearts! And just before Valentines' Day too. I hope Law lets me off for the past blunders.

I tossed the final heart into the crate. They were all beating at different rhythms. It's giving me a headache.

"We are reaching our destination!" The announcement repeated itself.

"Nixie-chan, prepare the package." The voice came from the separate tube connecting to my room.

I covered the crate. "Air cushion." The crate levitated a few millimetres off the ground. Pathetic… I pushed the crate up to the deck.

Law was already waiting on deck, impatiently…

"Room." Law and the crate teleported to the harbour. Tch.

"Morning, Nixie." I turned around. The navigator was standing beside me.

"Bepo!" I climbed on his back so I could see Law better from the deck.

Some marines were in shambles. "Ehhh?! We're at a Marine base?!"

"Nixie, are you sure you pay attention during Captain's briefings?"

"Ermm…"

(Nixie's memories [Flashback_Start]:

"…Rocky Port… Got that, Nixie-ya? NIXIE-YA!" Law slammed the table.

"Aye aye, Captain!" My hand was at my forehead. "Huh?"

[Flashback_End])

/

"So you really were sleeping. You're always sleeping. I'm surprised Captain hasn't thrown you overboard yet."

"Don't joke about me!"

"I'm sorry."

"Ah Bepo, it's not your fault. Don't be so depressed~!"

"But seriously, why are you always so tired?"

"I dunno. But then again, I used to be more active at night. Maybe I'm nocturnal. Back at home, I worked at night and only come back to sleep in the day. People used to tell me that I sleepwalk. How ridiculous is that?"

Law jumped back on the sub. The sleeves of Law's hoodies were not rolled up as usual, again. They covered more of his arms. I still haven't figured out why…

14 February 1523

Today is Valentine's Day. I woke up buried in red roses. Each rose (or rose bouquet) had a card addressed to me with a love letter from a crew member. There were 16 roses/bouquets. The biggest bouquet is definitely Law's.

I checked the card, ignoring the love message. "From Dr. Heartstealer."

Law's handwriting. Yup, definitely him.

Bepo and Jean Bart gave me a single stalk of rose. The others gave bouquets. I started with the smaller gifts, carefully removing the handwritten card and keeping it in a drawer after reading the message.

Law's bouquet was pretty amazing. There were not only red roses, but yellow, pink, white and even a blue rose! How sweet, I feel sick… Law must have thought really hard about the message. Too bad I couldn't really understand it. The language was way too flowery for me. But he probably just wants to say "I love you" or something.

Penguin's bouquet was simple: red and white roses in a bouquet. The message was a simple "Happy Valentine's Day!" with a small doodle of a penguin at the bottom to sign off. Much better than "Dr. Heartstealer".

The fridge was filled with many heart-shaped chocolates. Mostly from Penguin. Aww, he knows I like Rum n Raisin and doesn't like Dark chocolate. I won't be able to finish this all by myself though. I searched the fridge. Good, my cake is still there.

"Captain? Bepo? Penguiiiiiin~! Shachi? Hellooooo?" I called out as I took out the cake and the chocolates. "FOOD!" I yelled. Sounds of people running and tripping over each other while yelling echoed through the sub.

Law teleported himself next to me using his devil fruit ability. Penguin and Shachi ran shoulder-to-shoulder. The other Heart Pirates, except for Jean Bart and Bepo, scrambled to sit at the dining table. Each Heart Pirate had a slice of my cake for himself.

Penguin had some cream on his cheek. "Ne, Penguin, you got some cream on your face. Let me help you." I licked the vanilla cream off his cheek before giving him a quick kiss.

Penguin blushed feverishly. Soon, some of the others wiped cake on their faces too.

"Nixie-chan, we have cake on our faces too!"

"WHAT THE HELL, YOU GUYS."

Law came over and wiped some cream onto my face. "You have cream on your face too."

"No, Law!" He held my jaw and licked the cream off my face. His lips then locked with mine. Something sweet slipped into my mouth. Eww, did Law just give me his half-eaten chocolate?

"Happy Valentine's Day, Nixie-ya."

"Bleh..."
