The Heart Pirates were disrupted and chaotic due to the events of Leila's devil fruit. Bepo had helped Law tend to his own wounds alone in his office, the two barely saying a word. Bepo felt disappointed in his nakama's decision and although he could understand Law's curiosity, he didn't understand why he had pushed Leila so hard.

Law walked, now all bandaged, into Leila's room where Jean and Penguin were sitting beside her. Penguin had seemingly calmed down, adjusting Leila's blankets so that she was fully covered and warm. He looked at her cautiously, somewhat regretting his rash decision earlier. When Law entered he quickly took retracted hand back, looking at his captain with slight fright in his eyes.

"C-captain…" Penguin started to address his captain but Law dismissed him with a hand. Jean stood up from his seat to allow Law to sit beside her and Penguin anxiously fiddled with his hands. "I-Is she okay?"

"I don't know, I haven't looked at her yet." Law said tiredly, removing her blankets to see her pale skin and her clothes still damp. "You left her in wet clothes?" Law asked his crewmates, anger beginning to seep into his voice.

"We were going to change her but it didn't feel right captain…" Penguin justified, causing Law to stare through them, exuberating anger.

"I didn't know how to get her top off without injuring her arm" Jean said calmly, not affected by Law's bad mood.

"Just go. I'll take it from here" Law dismissed his nakama. Jean sighed when he left whereas Penguin quickly scuttled out, closing the door after them.

Law took in Leila's appearance; sweat was beading on her forehead as her chest heaved. It seemed she was asleep but it was evident that her body was struggling. Law held her injured arm softly in his and tutted when he saw the gravity of the wound. Her flesh was mangled, with a large cavity on her forearm.

"What can I do about this…" He muttered. Law shifted to move over Leila, lifting her body up so he could remove her top, taking out a small knife and cutting it off her at her injured arm. He rubbed her body down with a warm cloth, wiping the sweat off of her body. He tended to her wound as best as he could, eventually wrapping it in a secure bandage. She stirred ever so slightly, making Law pause to look at her. Her face was troubled, even in sleep and Law couldn't help but feel regret and guilt for pushing her to do something that she knew would put everyone in danger.

He began to run a hot bath, adding in oils and essences that ease muscle tension and promote healing. He undressed her fully and picked her up swiftly in his arms, flinching slightly as he forgot about his own injuries. She panted heavily, seemingly in pain when he moved her, thus, he eased her slowly into the bath, wiping down her body with care.

Law knelt beside the bath, holding her bandaged arm out of the water and Leila's eyes twitched before she jolted up, breathing heavily. Her eyes were alert, almost not her own as she tensed up. She clutched the edge of the bath with fear before seeing Law, and her eyes instantly softened.

"Hey, take it easy" Law urged her, holding her arm softly. Leila felt her eyes well up with tears and she couldn't help but cry as she realized what had unfolded. Her free arm came up to hide her face as her shoulders shook and trembled.

"I-is everyone okay?" She hiccupped in between her tears.

"Yes, everyone's fine - don't worry. I told you I'd stop you, right?" Law leant his cheek against the bath as she spoke to her.

"I-Im sorry!" Leila continued to sob, "I'm so so sorry…"

"Leila-ya, stop" He held her hand, rubbing his thumb across her knuckles soothingly. Unknowingly, he hated seeing her cry. Even though she cried so often – every time she did he felt himself tense up. She gripped onto his hand as her sobs echoed through the bathroom.

"I told you, I told you that I can't control it!"

"I know you did. I know" Law agreed. "I was being selfish. I wanted to know more about your abilities, what you were capable of. I even put my own crew in danger because of it"

Leila stopped hiding her face and looked up to Law with slight animosity, but she was mainly in pain. "How did you stop me?"

Law swallowed a lump in his throat as he remembered his harsh actions towards her. "I…threw you into the sea"

"Good" Leila just nodded, seemingly not upset like he thought she would be.

"You're not upset?"

"No. You put your crew first, I'm glad" She wiped her tears but still sniffing. "Who got hurt?"

"I told you everyone's fin-"

"Law" She said his name pleadingly, looking at him seriously. "Who got hurt?"

"…Only me" He replied, causing her to sit up suddenly as she looked him all over for visible signs of injury.

"Where?"

"Leila-ya, It's fin-"

"Law, where are you hurt?" She grabbed ahold of his face, moving it around as she searched but sighed when she couldn't find anything.

"You only got me in my back, its okay" He explained to her, grabbing her hand that held his face. Her face looked pained and she sunk back into the bath, seemingly deep in thought.

"Why couldn't you just ask me about my abilities instead of pushing it so far..."

"You think you would have told me?" He scoffed, making her nod in agreement. "I did find out something interesting though"

Leila raised an eyebrow at him, seemingly more relaxed now that she knew nobody was seriously injured.

"Did you know your abilities differ between individuals?" Law asked her seriously, back in doctor mindset.

"You mean how people can get influenced?" She asked to which Law nodded. "Well, yeah. Everyone has sinful attributes inside of them – some people are more easily influenced by some sins than others. For example, the person who had my devil fruit before me mastered the abilities of greed and wrath. I've only learnt about it through old books but the affinity for the sins differs between the users of my devil fruit."

Law was entranced by her explanation, although it wasn't what he had discovered, it was still exceedingly interesting to him. Leila looked at him and he nodded for her to continue.

"I'm different from my predecessor. I'm easily influenced by lust and pride" She held up her injured arm, assessing it before sighing. "But wrath always has a way to find its way back to me. I lose my mind"

"Why do you struggle to control wrath so much?" Law asked, making Leila look at him confused.

"Would you be able to control it? Willingly harm innocent people around you? Smile when your enemy begs for mercy? Only a psychopath can willingly inflict wrath upon those around them…" Leila moved to face him, leaning against the side of the bath.

"I have something to add to that" Law told her, making her eyes widen. "Shachi and Penguin were the most influenced by wrath earlier; they have a past of aggression. Shachi directed his violence towards Bepo – something that occurred in their past also. It's not random aggression that people carry out; it's entirely connected to them as a person"

"It's not random aggression….I didn't know that", Leila hummed in thought, also feeling somewhat upset for her friends. She seemed deep in thought but she stiffened, causing Law to shift towards her.

'Did she remember something?' Law thought, although he didn't ask.

"This must sound hypocritical now that you actually saw me inflict wrath though…" Leila huffed, her mind in pain due to the stress. "Do you remember when I said that my devil fruit is part of me? I can't change my past. I can't change the way that it shaped me as a person – that's what I meant. I can't change how I'm influenced by the sins – it's set in stone."

"Leila-ya. You don't need to explain yourself to me" Law calmly told her, letting his fingers graze her shoulder. She shivered but enjoyed his touch against her pale skin.

"Do you know what I would compare it to?" She spoke softly. "It's like conquerors Haki. Some are susceptible to it, some aren't. Some can control it whereas when others are pushed to their emotional limit – they can cause it unwillingly"

Law stiffened as he remembered Luffy's emotional use of conquerors Haki when Fire Fist Ace died and suddenly everything made a bit more sense.

"…Have you been through that?" Law moved his fingers up to cup her cheek, causing her to look at him with vulnerability clear in her glassy eyes. In an instant though, it was gone. She pushed his hand away and slowly stood up from the bath, slightly losing her balance before gripping onto the edge.

Law swallowed the rejection and held a hand out to her, making an effort not to look down at her naked body. She took it hesitantly but decided to take the help, leaning on him for support as she got out the bath.

"Thanks…you can go now" She said, suddenly feeling exposed. Law grabbed a fluffy white towel and enveloped her in it carefully, lifting her up like a big marshmallow.

"H-hey, Law!" She stammered, her good arm gripping his shoulder in fear she would be dropped.

"I have to help you, you shouldn't be using your right arm at all" He told her sternly.

"That's impossible, how am I going to get dressed? Or shower?" She pouted, disliking being restrained.

"That's why I'm here, isn't it?" He said, as if that was the most obvious conclusion in the world.

"Wha-….H-huh?!"

"I'm a doctor aren't I? Taking care of my patients is part of my job"

"I think that goes beyond the job description…" She blushed as he set her down softly on the bed. Law went to her dresser and pulled out a set of pajamas for her to get changed into and he looked at her expectantly, expecting her to cooperate.

"What about underwear?" She smirked at him, still covering herself with the towel.

"Why would you wear that when you sleep?" He asked, absolutely appalled at the thought. Leila couldn't help but laugh at him and he saw his opportunity to whip the towel off of her. She tried to grasp it back but he lifted it high above her head and began to dry her hair messily. Rubbing the towel against her wet hair made it frizzy but ensured it wasn't damp for her to sleep on.

Leila tried to cover her body as much as possible as she felt incredibly exposed. "Law, this is highly inappropriate, even for you!"

"Why are you being so shy now?!" Law stammered, tired of fighting with her. "If you'd just let me dress you then it wouldn't even take a minute"

"I-I don't know it's embarrassing! I can get dressed by myself so leave!" She kicked his leg away from the bed to which Law sighed, utterly astounded.

"Leila-ya, I undressed you and wiped down your body already. How do you think you got in the bath?"

"That was different! I wasn't conscious!"

"So I just have to knock you out?" He smirked

"Oh Law, just leave will you" She complained, quickly getting up and ushering him out the door. Law let her push him and she closed her bedroom door shut with a loud thud, making him wince.

He knocked once on her door but she didn't respond. "Leila-ya, don't get your bandage wet and if you feel like you're getting a fever come see me immediately…okay?"

He waited for a few seconds before he heard her shuffle away from the door and he let out a small sigh to himself, although smiling slightly.
