So this is the final chapter to this story but from reading it you might infer that there's going to be more to it. I've been writing bits and pieces of the next part but honestly idk when I'll get it out.

Chapter 10

No! no. what the fuck is wrong with me. I can't let myself. I unwrapped my legs and pushed him completely away from me. I was able to land on my feet but I couldn't control my breathing all that well. I felt like a mess and am pretty damn sure that I looked like a mess too, so I fixed my shirt and controlled my breathing.

I felt his eyes on me. Of course he wanted more but I'm not going to do it no, I got carried away. What the fuck am I supposed to do now.

"sorry." I said but I don't know why I said it. I don't know why I apologized but I did.

"I'll wait for you two in here" he went to the room Axel was in and opened the door "Don't apologize." He chimed before entering.

I feel like he wants me to be confused; like he wants me to constantly think about him, well, it won't work. I've got a lot of other shit I need to worry about. All I could do was go outside and go into the water again but what would I gain. I guess I would get his scent off of my. So I do just that. I go and step onto the sand, take off my clothes and stay in the water for a while. I put on my shorts again but only a sweater on top of my bra, my green beanie as well and I go back; barefoot ready to see Axel. But Law is at the entrance to the submarine; bare chest once again.

"Your hand," he says as I glance at it, "it slipped my mind. It'll get infected."

He simply then led me to Axel's room where he cleaned my knuckles and put some gooey stuff on it and then lightly bandaged them up. It was way better, it didn't hurt as much and hopefully no one would notice the dried blood on the back of his head. It was weird though. The process went by awkwardly quiet. Before he was finished Axel walked in.

"Hey Kallet, you've gotta take a shower here. The water is like a majestic unicorn."

"A flying god damn majestic sparkling unicorn." I sarcastically insist.

"Yea, shitting rainbows all over the place," sarcasm; this kid catches on.

"White with long colorful hair that can strangle you."

"Rape torture and burn me alive."

"Sounds fucking legit"

"And it would still be fucking majestic."

"Majestic as fuck." I set straight with a serious face. He replied with his own serious face.

"No, really the water's hot."

I smiled at him and laughed and he laughed with me. I swear, his laugh can brighten up anything. I look over at Law and he is finishing my hand. He finally does and I go sit next to Axel on the bed.

"So, what do you want to tell us?" I ask.

"Mainly Axel," he looks straight at him. "You have a disease."

He literally gets no reaction from Axel but of course, he continues.

"Generally, a person with a normal level of your disease would die without a doubt die within ten years but have a very low level of it. It does affect you of course and would take over your heart in about then years."

Axel was just looking at the ground. Of course he knew all of this. He told me. He knew. The Government made sure to let him know and he was reminded of it, I'm sure, daily. Law continued.

"But I'm su-"

"Look," Axel cut Law off midsentence, "you don't need to tell me things I already know. I'm gunna die soon and that's all there is to it; that's all I need to know." He looked up at me, "I'm done here Kallet".

I nodded and he got off the bed, got his backpack and left the room. I stood and looked at Law, I didn't know how to feel toward him, maybe he is trying to help Axel or maybe he doesn't even care but I just don't need him to be reminded. So with a serious face I gave him a weak smile; like thanks but this kid can handle it. I caught the door before it closed but Law caught my arm.

"I saved myself and I can save him." He looked at me and all I could do was shrug.

"If it's meant to be, we'll see each other again one day." I replied.

I was able to catch up to Axel when he jumped off the submarine and onto the beach.

"Ready to set sail?" The marines are going to attack tomorrow or later; I'm sure it's past midnight. He nodded and with his arms reached up and a black cloud swirled in the sky, Axel then motioned swiftly towards the ship where the black cloud followed and pushed the ship farther into the ocean. Once the ship was in deep water Axel made a stair case leading to the ship with graphene. We followed the way and got onto the ship.

I then climbed up to fix the sails and as I go down I see Axel looking out at the vast amount of stars in the sky. I walk to him and mess up his hair then kiss him on the back of his head. He turns around and puts his head to my stomach, his arms wrap around me and he starts balling.

"Uggggh wunt want wu why!" he mumbles, as if I know what the kid just said but all I can do right now is just hug him back.

I couldn't figure out what to do, he was really vulnerable. I mean, I hadn't seen him cry about this, I guess he finally let everything he was holding in out.

"Kid, please, just calm down." He did, his breathing slowed down and so did his sniffling. He then finally let go. "Sit. I need to talk to you". His eyes were just wet now but he sat down and leaned against the railing of the ship and I went and, facing him, sat down against the mast. "I talked to Aokiji." His eyes looked straight at me, fear in his eyes. I shrugged at him; like yeah I can't believe it myself. "You should've been there . . . what he was pretty important." He was still, but slowly he asked,

"What did he say?" I couldn't help but smile. It was kind of amusing and he noticed the sarcasm in my smile. "Kallet, what did he say?"

"He complemented us." Axel was stunned.

"Really?" he asked doubtfully. "I don't believe you." Yea, he didn't, his eyes looked at me suspiciously.

"Yea," I smiled, genuinely this time, "said we were a really strong duo" I nodded my head, "one that the government would never let run wild, one that would be killed eventually by the hands of the government. They don't want us together, they want our heads Axel".

"Yea," Axel responded, "What else is new?"

That made me laugh, "Just letting you know; we're the strongest duo on the seas."

"That's a nice title."

"Yup, but there's another thing", Axel lifted his head, "That Traffy guy, he said, he told me that," his eyes got more narrow, "okay, his exact word were that he survived and he could save you too."

"We're going back to the Grand Line, right?" I nodded my head, he then looked to the side and shrugged, "If he makes it there and we ever see him again, I'll take him up on his offer."

I look at him, intently, "Sounds good. But what now? My mission is to become a notorious pirate, care to join me?" he looked at me again. His eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

"Fuck no. You have to join me, I'm the captain."

"Captain my ass," he's staring down at me, I sigh, "fine, but if you mess up, I'm taking the spot".

"Sounds good to me."

I stand up and go into the room and I see the two girls that were trapped at the party. Laying in the middle of the room, sleeping. Axel came up from behind me and we looked at each other, he shrugged and I sighed.

"Looks like you just got two new crew members." His eyes widened and he smiled.

"Alright!" he was happy. "But I want them to be strong too."

"They seem to have potential so I'll train them along with you starting tomorrow." I can't help but smile at him. "Grand Line, here we come."
