A/N: I'm on a roll. I'll probably be on a roll until Ace leaves, and then I'll be at a loss... I'm still working out a clear picture of the antagonist I showed a sneak peak of at the beginning of the last chapter. I hope I can manage to do it as soon as possible.

Law groaned, burying his head in his hands. They had been going on for nearly half an hour! Didn't they get sick of it? Didn't they get tired?!

Why had he saved them again?

"AAACCEEEEE!"

"LUUUUFFFFFYYYYY!"

"AAACCEEEEE!"

"LUUUUFFFFFYYYYY!"

"AAACCEEEEE!"

"FFIIIIISSHHYYYYY!"

"AAACCE—" Luffy stopped, realizing that the last cry hadn't been his name, and hadn't been male.

Apparently everyone else realized the same thing. Fishy?

Everyone in the infirmary turned surprised gazes to the green haired girl. She only shrugged. "I figured someone should pay some attention to Jinbe as well. He did wake up too, you know."

Law's lips quirked in amusement.

Luffy and Ace shared a glance, then grinned very similar grins. "FFIIIISSHHYYY!"

Jinbe felt his eye twitch, but smiled all the same. The adventure had a happy ending. They had gotten out of the war relatively unscathed, and the one they had set out to save, Ace, was still alive. It was rare enough in the pirate world to be happy and celebrate.

Even if said celebration included half an hour of screaming each other's names, and calling him a fishy.

"By the way, how are we alive?" Luffy asked, rather bluntly.

Ace blinked, unsure. Jinbe pieced things together. "Ah, that would be because…"

The trio stared at the two Heart pirates.

"Thank you very much for saving us!" Ace bowed, shoving Luffy's head down as well.

Considering that Luffy's neck stretched, his bow was rather creepy.

"Yes. Trafalgar Law, we thank you for the medical care. Without it, we surely would have perished," Jinbe thanked formally, then turned to Lor before bowing again. "And I had not expected the Immortal Witch to save us. Or is it Siren now? Either way, we are grateful that you stopped the war. Had you not, many more lives would have been needlessly lost."

"Ah, I think I have to thank you for that too. If you hadn't done something, Akainu's magma would have killed me," Ace laughed.

"No… If I had done something from the start, the war wouldn't have begun at all," Lor said, a little guiltily.

She hadn't been thinking about the war. She was just trying to keep Law alive.

Jinbe cocked his head, frowning. "But then would Mihawk not have been angry? In fact, I have been meaning to ask, but why are you here? Should you not have accompanied Mihawk home?"

Ace and Luffy blinked. "Why?"

Jinbe stared incredulously at the two, and then at Law when he realized the pirate captain's voice had chimed in with the other two. "You do not know? Miss Lorelei is Mihawk's crew! She first became known as a pirate under Mihawk several years ago, the last member to join his crew. And she was destructive enough to gain a high bounty and quite a bit of attention from the pirate world."

The trio turned to stare at her as if she had grown another head. She unconsciously took a step back. Was it really so unusual?

"So that's why…" Law muttered, recalling that she had called Mihawk 'captain', and he had said something about her being crew. Not to mention that she knew Shanks—everyone knew Shanks and Mihawk were rivals. "I thought you were a marine?"

This time the three patients stared at her as if she had sprouted horns and a tail.

"I was. From age ten to fourteen. Then from fourteen to seventeen I was a pirate. After that I re-enlisted for a year before you kidnapped me," she answered.

Jinbe stared at Law, shocked. "You kidnapped her?!"

He felt a little faint, and it wasn't because of his wounds. If Mihawk knew, he would be pissed. And if he was pissed, few people stayed alive. Even if they had nothing to do with whatever made the swordsman angry.

"Mihawk won't come after him," Lor said quickly. "He already knows."

"Good lord. You're still alive," Jinbe shook his head in disbelief at Law.

"Of course," Law said smoothly. "Now if the two of you will stop moving… If you move too much you'll reopen your wounds and die."

"Meh, I feel fine," Luffy said.

"Bed. Now," Law growled, glaring at Luffy and Jinbe.

"Doctor's orders," Lor chimed in, hiding her amusement.

Jinbe obeyed, but Luffy took convincing from his brother. After a lot of whining and grumbling, and promise of meat, Luffy lay quietly in bed, and fell asleep in mere moments.

Ace sidled up next to Lor, grinning cheekily. "So, you're a siren? It's a devil fruit, right? Can you swim?"

"Yes, yes, no," Lor answered. "I can breathe underwater, but otherwise it affects me the same as it does you."

"Ah, I see," Ace knelt in front of her, taking one of her hands and bringing it up to brush against his lips. "I haven't introduced myself properly yet, have I? I am Portgas D Ace. I am eternally grateful to you for saving our lives."

"It's not—I wasn't exactly trying to save you—" Lor stammered.

"But still, whatever your intentions, you still saved our lives," Ace replied smoothly.

"Umm…"

"Fire-fist ya. You too. Bed. Now!" Law growled, the pits of his stomach turning at the sight of the other man kissing his Lor. Her hand, but still her.

"Yes, doctor," Ace grinned, eyes twinkling with mischief.

Law didn't catch it, but Lor did. And she bit back a laugh. So Ace had been awake when she kissed Law. She thought the snoring had stopped.

To prevent Law from being tempted to murder the fire user in his sleep, she took the doctor's hand and tugged, leading him out of the infirmary. She shut the lights on the way out, leaving a soft glow. The submarine was never completely dark.

The moment the door was shut, Law pressed her against the wall, grumbling something about stupid charming flirty young pirate males. She couldn't hold back anymore and laughed softly.

Law's angry mutters stopped. He watched her, entranced. He knew his jaw was slightly agape, and snapped it shut, but continued staring. She laughed. She laughed. It was then that he decided she was too adorable for her own good.

And here he'd thought he didn't have words like 'cute' or 'adorable' in his vocabulary.

"You get jealous too easily," Lor told him, still smiling.

Law frowned, expression almost a pout. "I do not get jealous."

She raised an eyebrow. "You were glaring at Kuzuri, and he knew you liked me long before you did. You even glared at Mihawk, and he's my captain. Not to mention twenty three years older than me."

He glared at her, leaning forward to nip her ear. "I'm your captain."

"Yes, captain," she said, smile turning cheeky.

He felt a stab of elation. But then he frowned. "Are you making fun of me?"

"Of course not."

"Hn," he said, not entirely convinced. He leaned down and gave her a lingering kiss, then pulled away.

"I wasn't making fun of you," she said, straight faced.

Smirking a little, he leaned down again, only for her to duck out of his reach. He blinked, stunned at the trick she just pulled.

"If you'll excuse me, I have to make dinner."

Law nodded absently. She did have to make… He blinked.

"Dinner was two hours ago!"
