Hello all!
Thank you for reviewing:
Lyndeshia . Finch . 9 - **sighs dreamily**
Madame Rodoshe - I can't wait to see Rayne with the Straw Hats. XD
Shiningheart of ThunderClan - Oh my God! Where have you been?! **super glomps** You're one of my regulars, I was worried! I'll leave it up to you readers to imagine what costume Law had picked out for him, lol. This Arc is all about fluff and hentai because once plot starts to appear, there won't be much time for those.
10th Squad 3rd Seat - Feel free to imagine a costume yourself. That was my intention. :)
And thank you for following and favouriting! **hugs**

The Abridged Arc
Weakness
Law watched from the shadows as his cook lazily dodged the blade aimed at her neck. She had a bored expression on her face while her opponent looked frustrated.
The pirate captain had been worried when he saw a certain Navy ship docked at the island they were currently on. While he had no doubt Rayne could handle herself in most fights, she had never faced an opponent with a Devil Fruit ability. And since the person in question had a Logia power…
But, luckily, she hadn't encountered Smoker. Instead, she had found his first mate: Tashigi.
"Can we wrap this up sometime soon? I'm getting hungry." Rayne sighed.
"Don't underestimate me!"
More than hunger, the pirate was getting annoyed. She needed to put Tashigi in her place.
When the girl rushed at her again with her sword held high, she feinted to the left and unsheathed one of the blades at her back. She rammed the hilt hard into the back of the marine's head causing her to fall forward and the sword to fall from her hands.
Rayne was quick.
She kicked the sword away and sat on the other girl's lower back. Tashigi thrashed and tried to dislodge the pirate but it was all in vain.
"Now, we're going to have a little chat." The cook brought her dagger to the marine's throat and tangled the fingers of her free hand in the dark blue hair. "I'm not underestimating you. You just suck. Plain and simple. What's worse is that you don't realize how weak you are."
"I am not weak!"
"Yes you are. As a fellow female who specializes in swords, I can tell you for a fact that we are all weak. It's our gender. We will never have the muscles men have. They will always be stronger and when it comes to swordplay, they will be the dominant gender." Rayne paused for a few seconds. "Now, what do woman have that men don't? Well, we are smaller and are, usually, thinner. Which means we can be faster. If you can't become stronger in your own way, you will only get eaten alive and become a burden to Smoker."
With a sigh, Rayne released her hold on Tashigi's hair and stood up. The marine was slow to pick herself up, wary of what to expect next.
"I hate people like you. You want to help the innocent. You want to eliminate the pirate threat. But how can you help anyone, save anyone, when you can't even defend yourself? You're pathetic and the next time we meet, I won't hold back."
Law was damn impressed by his cook. Would she ever stop surprising him? Would he ever grow bored of her?
"Are you done spying on me?" Her voice cut through his thoughts and the smirk on his face was automatic.
"It is one of my favourite pass times."
She rolled her dark brown eyes and walked past him. With a chuckle he followed the young woman, watching the sway of her hips. She had a very delectable ass. It was meaty and he always enjoyed using the globes to pull her closer to him. Now that the thought was in his mind, he quickly walked up closer behind her and cupped one of her cheeks. She stumbled in her next step and whirled around, aiming a punch at him. Very easily he caught her fist.
"What was that for?!" Rayne glared up her captain as she blushed.
"I didn't realize that I needed a reason to touch what is mine."
"There is a time and place, Law."
"Good idea."
In the next instant, Rayne found herself up on Law's shoulder and being carried off in the direction of the inn the Heart Pirates were staying at.

Have you noticed that since that first time they had sex, how often they do it now? It's like they're making up for lost time!
Tashigi annoys me. Seriously. I mean, Smoker had to have known how unforgiving the New World was right? I'm just so pissed at how useless she is, especially because of the whole thing with Zoro and his past.
