Finally I find time to continue this, I apologize for the wait! With school and other problems writing this has been a challenge. Anyway Thanks for those of you reading and who have been waiting patiently, I very much appreciate it:)

(I do not own One Piece, just my OC Haruna) Now on with the story!~

Chapter 21:

Events In Motion

On the distant island of Dressrosa...

"Doflamingo sir, you requested to see me?" A tall slender man asked. Moving a hand through his spiked brunette hair, as he almost nervously made eye contact with the purple sunglass lenses of the tan skinned blonde haired almost crazed looking Shichibukai. Who was sitting at the moment with his legs wide open on a obnoxious looking pink sofa, his shirt as well wide open revealing his very well built tan chest with his signature grin plastered across his face.

"Look here-urgh-what's your name again?" Doflamingo questioned bluntly, as he then slightly leaned forward to look over the man. Though not even trying to hide the fact that didn't know the man's name.

After all as Doflamingo saw it, who was he to learn the names of every man who worked under his flag?

"My name is Leyon sir, I am a bounty hunter." Leyon stated firmly, though being sure not to come off rudely.

"Well then Leyon, I have a little job for you to do." Doflamingo said the grin on his face widening.

"This. really. sucks." Shachi said with a groan as he continued scrubbing one, in the row of toilets alongside Penguin in which they were both forced to clean by hand due to their previous actions the other night.

"Why, WHY do I always go along with your crappy plans!?" Penguin complained as he threw down the sponge he was holding in his hand.

"HEY! Don't go and get all snappy with me! It's not like I forced you to do anything!" Shachi argued back loudly

The two of them only stopped their soon to be argument as the large bathroom quarter's door suddenly opened. As a innocent Bepo and a very smug looking Haruna then walked in.

"Well, well who knew you two would look so good in women's cloths!" Haruna said letting out a smug laugh. Earning her sharp glares from both Shachi and Penguin, who were currently dressed ridiculously in some of Haruna's clothing that she had purchased on Evergreen Island.

Shachi himself was currently wearing a bright pink bikini top paired with the matching (and much too small for him) bikini bottom. Penguin on the other hand getting the less of the punishment, only being forced to wear just a blue tank top followed by a pair of short jean shorts.

"What we don't understand is why WE are stuck wearing these ridiculous outfits and THAT damn bear gets off free!" Penguin and Shachi both yelled at the same time as they both pointed angrily over at Bepo.

"I'm sorry." Bepo said with an apologetic look, though really feeling quite smug that he had been able to escape the "scene of the crime" and avoid both Haruna and Law's anger.

"You two are lucky I convinced Law that I would deal with you guys!" Haruna said knocking both Penguin and Shachi on their heads

I mean who knows what would of happened if I let Law punish them... Haruna thought to herself, a small slight shiver running down her back but at the same time she felt like laughing as well.

The bathroom then fell quiet as Penguin and Shachi then both shuddered as they too thought of what their punishment could of been if Law had been the one to deal with them.

"Anyway, what I came in here for was to tell you guys that we've reached a new island. So get dressed and come onto the deck!" Haruna said eagerly. Due to the fact that she was quite tired of being constantly submerged underwater and was excited to finally go out and be able to feel the fresh sea air.

"Yes! Now I can get out of this stupid outfit!" Penguin said throwing his hands up in the air as he and Shachi then quickly get up and rushed out the door.

"Hey Bepo, what kind of island is are we going on anyway?" Haruna asked curiously as she and Bepo were now making their way to the deck of the submarine, where Law and most of everybody else were.

"Well according to the Captain, he said it supposedly the island of Erasse." Bepo said the tone of voice sounding uncertain.

"Island of Erasse? What kind of island is it?" Haruna asked as she and Bepo now set foot onto the deck of the Sub.

Haruna enjoying the feel of the wind blowing through her hair as she made her way the railing of the submarine looking down towards the water, though being sure not to fall into the sea.

"It's a Fall island." Law said suddenly from behind Haruna, startling her as she then turned around to face him.

"Oh it is!?...I-uh didn't know you were standing behind me..." Haruna said with a awkward laugh, causing Law to raise an eyebrow at her as he then took one step closer towards her.

"Hnh...Who knew that I could make you so nervous just by being this close to you." Law said wearing his well known smug grin, causing Haruna to blush a little at his sudden closeness.

"Well yeah-I mean No!- I mean- uh! Just tell me more about the island!" Haruna said obviously flustered, which made Law give a small laugh as he stepped out of Haruna's personal space.

Even now that they were technically together, Haruna still found herself getting flustered by things Law would say and do. Though according to Law that just made their newly found relationship more interesting.

"The island of Erasse, according to what I heard is a medium sized port town island that was supposedly well known for dozens of shops that attracted lots of people making it a popular island to stop at to get supplies. But it doesn't look that way now." Law stated as his eyes focused on what was behind Haruna. Causing Haruna to follow his gaze, turning around to get a look at the island.

And it looked almost nothing at all, like what Law had explained or what Haruna had pictured in her head.

The port town island of Erasse looked much bigger than an average medium sized island would. Though most noticeably it that had several long wooden dock bridges sticking out of its sides, which Haruna guessed served as pathways leading to the inside of the island itself.

She couldn't really make out this rest of what the island looked liked due to the distance she was at, though the clouded sky didn't help much either beside just give off bad vibes.

"Hey Captain! Are we going to archor down here?" Penguin yelled from across the deck, where he was standing. Thankfully dressed back into his normal clothing.

"Yes. Let the rest of the crew know, I'll be taking a small group to the island while the rest of crew stay and watch over the Sub." Law said not a hint of fear evident in his voice.

"Law, I don't have a good feeling about this island." Haruna said turning around to face Law, as she unconsciously reached up and touched the mark that layed a little under her collar bone.

"We don't have a choice, we have to wait for the logpost to reset. So we at least have to set foot on the island, we will just have to be cautious." Law said his gray eyes and the calmness in his voice somewhat calmed Haruna's nerves.

"Alright, I'm ready!" Haruna said shoving her feeling of fear behind her, as she flashed a smile at Law.

"Haruna, Bepo, Shaci, Penguin, grab a few others. We are heading out to the island in a few, be ready." Law said with a smirk, as they all prepared to head out to the island of Erasse.

It took a while but finally the main plot of this Arc. begins! This is also is the second to the last Arc. of this whole story actually (Punk Hazard being the final one) As different things get set into place, who knows what will happen!
