Hello my One Piece lovers! Dear Lord! I know I've been so slow in updating this, though don't worry I'm not putting this story on Hiatus or discontinuing it or anything! Though there is an important Author Note at the end which explains the shortness of this chapter~

(I do not own One Piece just my OC, Haruna) Now without further delay...Enjoy!

Chapter 14:

The Captain Arrives

"Law." Haruna said her eyes looking over at the Surgeon of Death, as she slightly struggled to stand up straight.

I can't help but wonder just how long was he here? Did he see me fight? Haruna thought to herself, multiple questions running through her head as she and Law continued to stare into each others eyes without saying a word.

"Captain! boy Am I glad to see you! How did you find us?" Bepo said cheerfully stepping over the bodies of the knocked/dead rouges to stand next to Haruna.

"He had us to show him the way of coarse!" Shachi said with a cocky smirk on his face as he and Penguin stepped out into the hallway.

"Are you hurt?" Law said finally breaking his streak of silence as his gray eyes continued to look over Haruna.

"I don't think so, I just feel a little tired thats all." Haruna said with a small smile telling a half truth so that anyone wouldn't worry. When in fact her whole body ached as if she was just getting over a sickness.

"Speaking of which! What the hell was all of that anyway Haruna!? I mean one minute your about to get stabbed then all of a sudden Wham! Bam! and you were covered in all of these crazy marks fighting as if it was second nature to you!" Penguin exclaimed throwing his hands about, answering Haruna previous question about wandering if Law saw what had happened.

"I too, must admit I'd like to know just what that was all about." Law said walking towards Haruna, eyeing the mark on her chest.

"Honestly I have no clue, when it was happening it almost felt as if my body was moving on its own." Haruna said moving her hand over the mark.

"When we get back to the sub I'll have to run over some tests and see if I can find out more." Law said his eyes lighting up how they always did whenever he found something to research.

Haruna seeing this, quickly backed away from Law pointing her figure at him in sudden though comedic anger.

"I've seen that look in your eyes before! I'm not going to be one of your medical research toys!" Haruna said her eyes narrowing at the captain of the Heart Pirates who was now wearing one of his well known grins across his face.

"What's with the face Haruna-ya? Do you not trust me handling your body?" Law said smugly feeling quite amused as he watched the girl's face turn a shade a red at his remark.

"Handling your body? So that's why I found you in the Captains bed a couple nights ago!" Bepo said looking over at Haruna, who was now not just red from embarrassment.

"NO! How many times do I have to tell you that it was not what it looked like!?" Haruna yelled in obvious embarrassment/frustration hitting Bepo, sending him into the hallway floor.

"Hey did you guys just come here by yourselves?" Haruna wondered out loud as she looked around to see if anymore members of the Heart Pirates were on their way.

"Yeah cause turns out you and Bepo aren't the only one's who are or well were missing. We hardly found any of the others even after almost thoroughly searching the island, So we were thinking that they were here as well." Penguin said looking towards Haruna and Bepo.

"They might be here, because Bepo and I were locked in one of the prison cells and since this place actually use to be an Marine Base they probably have multiple places were they keep hostages." Haruna said remembering just how large the marine base looked from when Daisuke had showed her.

"Ok its not going to be long before these idiots find us so we need to split up and search for the other crew members than kill this Daisuke bastard." Law said returning to his serious tone as he then pointed down the hall to were the hallway split into two paths.

"Haruna and I will will go right. Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin you will all go left." Law instructed as the sound of more rouge marines began to echo throughout the walls of the old marine base.

"But-But how will we know were to meet up again?" Shachi asked in confusion

"You'll know. Go and hurry, Haruna come on" Law said as they all then split up going down the separate hallway corridors.
