Hello again! Tatertwig45 here with another One Piece fanfiction, except this time it's a little different. For one thing it has my favorite character in One Piece, Trafalgar Law! Now, before an angry mob of fangirls comes after me for this story, I must say that this is NOT a Law/OC story ! I tend to portray Law a little bit differently than some of the writers on here . I see him as a villain, or at least evil and I am kinda annoyed at the whole alliance because I really, really want him to betray Luffy and become Pirate King, or else have him, Luffy, and Kid have a huge battle at Raftel or even before.

I'm not a big fan of some Law/OC stories that have romance in them, unless it's at the very end and he has to be really really cruel to his love interest or he has to act like a master if he buys her at a slave auction in Saboady. Three of the best ones are Within the Heart by ILoveBeingLyric, Sweet As Candy by M. Mellow, and Death and Her Surgeon by texgal. Check them out because they are awesome stories!

Not that there isn't going to be any romance in this story, it's just not going to involve Law, even though he's my favorite character.

Anyway, enough with my ranting, I just kinda wanted to explain the situation before a lot of reviewers got all pissy at me for portraying Law the way I do. I do accept criticism though and flames because I think that it helps with my writing and I want to see what your opinions on it are. Hopefully there are not TOO many flames –sweatdrop- -hugs Law plushie- This is my first attempt on a Law story that is not fantasy so I hope you guys enjoy it.

Now on with the story! Read and Review!

Chapter 1

The waves rocked the Thousand Sunny through calm waters as the Strawhat crew headed through the Grand Line. Their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, or Strawhat to some of his foes and the Marines, was currently playing tag with Ussopp his sniper, and Chopper, a reindeer that ate the Human-Human fruit and the ship's doctor. Using his rubber powers that he had gained from the Gomu-Gomu-No-Mi, or the Gum-Gum Fruit, he stretched his arms to grab onto the mast, swinging up in the air and landing in the crow's nest, disturbing Robin who was the ship's archeologist and not a very talkative woman at best.

Putting her book down after Luffy got up and brushed both of them off, she grinned at her captain's antics, telling him that he didn't need to apologize. Robin was used to them after four years of being a part of the Strawhat crew.

Meanwhile, in the galley, steam rose from a pot boiling on the stove as Sanji, the cook , set to work on dicing, sautéing, broiling, and transforming any item of food in the kitchen into a work of art that only first-class chefs could even dream to achieve. While he was busy preparing the feast that would no doubt disappear in five minutes thanks to their greedy glutton of a captain, he decided to make three special plates for three certain women that were near and dear to his heart.

Turning to walk out the door with his deliveries, covered delicately in lace napkins, he almost ran into Brook, a large talking skeleton who was the musician. Luckily none of his precious plates dropped.

"Oh pardon me Sanji!" Brook exclaimed. "I would say I wasn't watching where I was going, but I don't have any eyes! Yo-ho-ho-ho!"

Sanji however, didn't crack a smile at the joke, feeling too rushed to even say sorry to the skeleton. He passed Brooke on his way to a certain room where a certain navigator was working on her charts and maps. It would have been wise for none of the men to even think about disturbing her, especially if she got in one of her moods. But Sanji, being the love struck fool he is, decides to risk it.

"Nami-swaannn!" he sang as he twirled into the room "I've brought you some delicious heartfelt goodies that I'm sure you will lo-!"

WHACK!

The fiery orange-haired woman wielding her Clima-Tact, a weapon allowing her to control the weather, delivered a blow to the back of Sanji's head. He fell to the ground, gazing up to meet her angry stare that was daring him to get up. However, when it came to women, Sanji couldn't help wanting to be punished again, especially if it was his darling Nami-swan delivering the beatings.

"Sanji! How is it you don't listen when I announce when I'm busy with my charts and no one is to bother me? Yet, lo and behold, you manage to interrupt every single time!" Nami was very close to throwing the cook overboard, even though he would just swim back, unlike some of the crew.

The blonde-haired man kneeling before her, wearing a dejected expression, slowly turned to face Nami, his eyes glazing in puppy-dog fashion. This made her stop in her tracks, her mouth forming a frown. She almost felt sorry for Sanji.

Almost.

Sighing in frustration at the cook's antics of pulling on her heart strings, an annoyingly sweet gesture to a not-so-normally sweet girl like Nami, she held out a hand, knowing that he had made something for her like he did everyday for her and the other women aboard the Thousand Sunny. It was the least he could do, being their only cook and the third strongest fighter.

As she unwrapped the napkin, a smile crossed her features. She took a bite from the chocolate oreo cheesecake brownie with a tangerine swirl, heaven in its own right and one of Nami's favorite desserts. Another thought came to her mind as she savored the taste of her favorite fruit, one that made her slightly uneasy.

"Sanji?" she asked, coming to stand near the window overlooking the sea, "Have you seen Zoro anywhere?"

As a matter of fact Sanji hadn't seen that mosshead anywhere. "I haven't, but…" he turned to her with a smirk and raised curly eyebrow, clenching the cigarette tightly in his mouth. "I have a pretty good idea of who he might be with."

Soft giggling, the sound Zoro loved when he was with her. It made her face light up, her cool silver eyes crinkling when she laughed, or closing completely if something was particularly amusing.

He ran a hand through her red and blonde tresses, some silver glinting off his fingers as he smoothed it, his arm holding her against him as they lay in Zoro's bed. Covers were completely discarded about an hour in, their sweat beaded off both their bodies from mutual desire and lust as it slightly drenched the sheets. Tenderly he reached his hand over to lovingly cup her chin, his lips brushing against hers in a passionate kiss. Zoro heard a tiny gasp, causing him to smile and deepen the kiss, slowly turning to where his hands were on either side of her, looking down when they finally broke apart.

Sweat gleamed on Celina's forehead, her eyes gazing lovingly up at the swordsman. She smiled slightly as her hand reached up to trace what scars she could touch on his toned body. Her fingers intertwined in his rough ones as he brought them up to his lips, kissing her hand. All that could be heard in the quiet room was the sound of their mutual breathing, the only other sound being the waves that were outside the window.

Zoro looked into Celina's eyes, thinking about how he could have gotten so lucky to have a girl like her. Celina wasn't too overbearing but instead took his demons and shadows and turned them into daylight. Sure, she was quiet and not very outspoken, only adding to conversations when she felt the need to, but the gentleness and calm that radiated off her when they were alone helped put his worries and fears at ease. With her by his side and in his arms, Zoro felt the goal of becoming the worlds greatest swordsman come ever closer.

Celina put her hand to his face, stroking his cheek. She felt her mind wander to when they first met, when they were just starting out. It was a lot different back then…

(Flashback)

Flickering embers and smoke filled the air as part of the island burned, a common climate on some of the islands in the Grand Line. Vegetation was scarce on the Northern part whereas the South was an oasis of blue sparkling water and thick rainforest-like growth. Waves near the burning part rocked a tiny boat that was waiting for its occupant to return.

A few hours ago…

"Uuugghh! These mosquitos are driving me crazyyy!!"

Celina gritted her teeth as she scratched her legs, the bumps from the annoying insect only adding to her determination of getting off this god-forsaken island. Her calves were becoming sore and her stomach was craving food that so far eluded her. On top of that she had a ginormous headache, but that was the least of her problems for now.

First she needed to rest, eat, and get back to civilization. Where ever that was.

Being the only girl in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean was probably not the smartest nor safest idea, but it had saved her life when the ship she was on had capsized during a storm. That's a story for another time though. For now she just needed to survive and get back home in one piece. Where home was at was a good question, and while Celina walked, she had a good amount of time to ponder where it would be.

What she didn't know is that she wasn't the only person there….

(On another part of the island…)

Zoro looked around as he landed on the black sand of the island. A huge volcano was off in the distance, smoke lightly billowing from the mouth. As long as it wasn't raging was a good sign for the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates.

He scratched his head lightly as he looked around, noticing vegetation further off. Was it another island? Zoro couldn't tell but now he knew the way to go if he needed food or water.

Or he thought he did…

Two sets of eyes observed the pirate from some bushes, keeping quiet so he wouldn't know they were watching. Underneath one of the pairs, a gold-toothed grin formed as he chuckled to himself. His plan for the girl would go perfectly just as long as she or the swordsman didn't notice anyone else on the island. He had someone else watching the girl so all that was left to do was wait.

(To Be Continued…)

Well I'm finally done with Chapter 1! Whoooo!! After leaving this story in my head and in my drafts for, oh let's say, almost 9 years, I finally make progress! I've watched a lot of One Piece since then and heard spoilers so there's a couple different story ideas running through my mind right now. Even though I know it will never happen, I still want Law and Boa Hancock to have more interaction. They look so good together!! I'm also on the Whole Cake Arc right now so disregard anything that I've said in my introductory Author's Note! Anyway enough with my rambling. See you guys in chapter 2!

(And if anyone at all wants to be my beta reader then I'd be more than happy to oblige!)
