Trinity Sayu
Sayu and Chopper had just finished patching up Hachi while Rayleigh spoke to Camie from her imprisonment. What he was going to do is scary, but Sayu knew he could do it.
"I'm going to remove your collar now. Are you ready, girl?" Rayleigh held his hand out towards the collar around the mermaid.
"Hold on, old man! Don't be crazy! It'll explode!" Pappugu the Starfish worried over the mermaid.
Chopper shook his head and protested as well. "We've seen a slave's collar explode before!"
"That's a bad idea! A very bad idea!" Brook shook his hands in nervousness.
"Guys." Sayu interrupted her friends. "It'll be fine. He's not a legend for nothing." She chuckled and Rayleigh nodded in appreciation.
Luffy looked over to Sayu. "...If you trust him Sa-chan, then I believe you."
Sayu smiled. "Just watch."
"It'll be alright." Rayleigh calmed the mermaid down and then slowly reached for her collar. Touching it, it started to tick.
"Oi oi, are we sure about this?" Haken muttered as he didn't want to see an innocent girl's head explode.
Camie closed her eyes as the ticking increased.
"Stop! Stop it! Camie!" Pappugu shouted for her as an explosion went off.
Franky came running out with the keys in his hands but stopped once he saw the mermaids collar and cuffs weren't there any longer. "Oi, don't scare me like that." He swirled the keys in his hands as he walked up to Rayleigh. "I went looking for this, but your collar and handcuffs are already off!"
Law smirked and looked over the situation with interest. The Dark King had removed the collar with a simple trick of haki. He couldn't wait to achieve that level of power.
"C-Camie!" The starfish stumbled down the stairs and jumped straight into the mermaids arms. "Camie! I was so worried!"
"Pappugu!" Camie held him close and gave a soft smile. Then she turned to Rayleigh. "Um...thank you!"
"No worries." Rayleigh waved his hand and turned to Franky. "Good job on finding those keys! Here, you carry this girl."
Franky groaned. "What in the hell is going on?! Who are you, old geezer?!"
"That guy...he's strong." Bepo stared at Rayleigh and then turned to his Captain. "Can he be trusted?"
Law shrugged his shoulders. "He hasn't harmed us yet."
"He said something about your straw hat! Do you know him Luffy?!" Usopp asked his Captain as Rayleigh moved up the stairs and towards Luffy.
"I don't know him! Really!" Luffy shouted back.
"Sorry about that, fellows. I didn't realize other pirates were watching." He glanced over towards Law and then Kidd. "You must be quite strong to have withstood that with no problem at all."
"I never expected to meet such a big shot in a place like this...Dark King Silver Rayleigh." Kidd's eyes turned to the red haired girl that was sitting next to one of Straw Hat's crew members. "Her lineage...daughter of Pirate Yonko...Red Haired Shanks. Things have really gotten crazy around here."
Bora scoffed and picked at her nails. "Daughter of a yonko or not, she's still weak."
Haken glared at the girl. "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all, crazy lady."
Yuki and Yuri looked smug from getting a compliment from a legend such as Silver Rayleigh. "Well, compared to Shank's haki, this isn't too bad." Yuri said with a grin.
Sayu stood up and brushed herself off. "Everyone!" She faced the three crews gathered. "We need to get out of here! This isn't the time for conflicts. A marine admiral will be on the way soon and I'm sure none of us would like to face him at the moment." She turned her gaze onto Kidd's crew. "You guys are the ones I'm worried about, but for the moment we need a truce."
Kidd scoffed and turned away from everyone. "As if I need anyone's help to take out those weaklings outside. I'll go on ahead and clean things up outside, so you guys don't worry about nothing." Kidd moved to the exit and then Law and Luffy glared at the other pirate Captain.
"As if I'll even let you. I still need to give you proper payback from Orses, Mr. Eustass." Law shoved past the red head.
"I can handle this by myself! Why don't you and Torao just get back?" Luffy cracked his knuckles and joined the two in heading outside.
Sayu groaned into her hand. She was being ignored by the trio who didn't want anyone else saving their asses. "Men...seriously?"
"Sayu-chwan!" Sanji grabbed his wife and held her close. "Are you ready to leave your crew and join ours so we can finally be together?" He gently moved her bang aside and admired her cute face. "Ahhhh, my dearest wife." Blood dripped down his nose as he got a good look of her cleavage.
Sayu chuckled and rubbed her head. "I'm not leaving my crew, Sanji." She pulled away from him and looked towards the Kidd pirates. "Killer~" Sayu waved to him and Killer let out a huff under his mask.
"Crimson Bullet." Killer stared at Sayu and she winked.
"It's been too long! Your Captain is still a douche!" Her eyes trailed over to the angry doctor girl who honestly looked bored with life at the moment, and then to the other two. "Ah, that must be Heat and Wire..." She mumbled to herself.
"Sayu-chan!" Shachi, Penguin and Bepo appeared next to their first mate. Shachi gave her a grin. "The Captain's gonna go overboard out there, he probably won't need much help."
Sayu hummed and looked back to her crew. "Alright, first things first. As soon as Law clears a path, we gotta jet." Turning to the Straw Hats and Rayleigh she addressed them. "I suggest we split up once things calm down a little out there. You still have business here with Rayleigh right?"
Rayleigh studied the Heart Pirates first mate. "I would love to get to know Shank's daughter, but I guess our time will have to wait." Rayleigh looked to Zoro. "Let's meet up at Grove thirteen in case we get split up."
"Grove thirteen? Got it!" Zoro said with a nod.
"You don't got it at all!" Usopp shouted at Zoro.
As Rayleigh and the Straw Hats made to leave, Sayu took one look back at the slaves gathered who were unlocking their collars. In the manga and anime there was a giant with them...but why is he not here this time? The thought vaguely went through her head but left quickly just as her eyes narrowed in one particular...really extremely small slave...it was a child. "What...?" Sayu skipped down the stairs and then pulled herself up onto the stage. The slaves looked nervous but were happy to their saviors so they didn't bother her much. Sayu got closer to the child and looked him over. The boy looked no older then four to be honest. He had yellow hair with snake like eyes and a blank stare. He honestly looked like he had seen the world for what it is and has given up. Almost like a younger Law when...well, Flevance happened. She turned to the slaves and addressed them. "Who is this?"
"...Ah...um...we don't know. He doesn't speak."
Sayu hummed and crouched down. She stared into his eyes as he stared back.
"Uh...shrimp...what are you doing?" Ryu questioned her, although he could practically see the gears turning in her head.
"Hm..." Sayu nodded her head once and she got an idea. Gently picking up the child, she carried him in her arms and turned to her crew. "He's coming with us."
"EHHH?!"
Trafalgar Law
"I told you to stay out of my damn way, Mr. Straw Hat." Law glared at his companion.
Luffy gave a grin. "No way! I can take these guys out on my own! You sit back and relax, Torao!"
Kidd huffed and glared at the both of them. "And I told you both, I could handle this!"
The three pirate Captains walked out of the auction house to confront the army of marine forces. "Don't tell me what to do."
Law, Luffy and Kidd stopped in front of the army, prepared to take them all out.
"Alright! You guys can go back inside!" Luffy cracked his knuckles once more.
"Hey! Are you even listening?! I told you guys to get back!" Kidd held his hand out, ready.
"Tell me what to do again and I'll start by getting rid of you first, Mr. Eustass!" Law shifted his sword, preparing to attack.
The marines looked nervous as only the Captains came out. They looked scared, but knew their duties were to rescue the Tenryubito's still inside.
"All three of them are Captains! They're spearheading the attack! Monkey D. Luffy, worth three hundred million beli!"
"I'm going!" Luffy huffed and stepped up.
"Eustass Captain Kidd, worth three hundred fifteen million beli!"
"Let me handle it." Kidd glared at all the marines.
"Trafalgar Law, worth two hundred million beli!"
"You two can stay here and bicker all you want. I..." Law clenched his fingers, cracking them.
"All three of them are rookies with bounties well over one hundred million beli!"
"...can handle this all by myself!" The captains shouted at once and were ready.
The marines raised their mortars. "Ready! Fire!" Cannonballs were fired directly towards the three.
"Gum Gum no...balloon!" Luffy took in a deep breath and expanded his body, catching his cannonball and bounced it back.
"Ahh!" Marines ran for cover as the cannonball got sent back.
"Repel!" Kidd stopped his cannonball and sent it back, via devil fruit causing more marines to run.
"Room." Law's room expanded, covering him and a sole marine who looked around in confusion.
"What is this circle?!"
Law smirked and sliced his sword in the air. The marines head, detached from his body and Law waved his hand. "Shambles." The cannonball launched towards him was switched with the marine's head and sent flying right back. Law tossed the head up and down in his hand.
"Ah! I've been killed...wait...huh?!"
The marines took a step back, but the Captain held out his arm. "Be careful! All three of them have powers! Leave enough people to rescue the hostages and gather all our men here! Mortars, too! Ready! Aim!" The marines raised their mortars and guns again.
Law was having the time of his life right now. So much had happened on this archipelago and he was enjoying every moment of it.
Kidd put his hands in front of Law and Luffy and took a step forward. "Don't either of you do anything, you'll just get in my way."
Law glared at Kidd. "If you put your damn hand in my face one more time-"
"Leave it to me!" Luffy ducked under Kidd's arm and charged forward.
Law chuckled at his companions idiocy and Kidd just looked stunned in shock. "Oi, Mr. Straw Hat, hurry this up. I got to take Sayu and my crew and leave this place." He called out to Luffy who looked back with a grin.
"Gotcha, Torao!" Luffy proceeded to monkey around with the marines and take them down, one by one.
Kidd sneered and looked over to Law. "Killer's been smitten with that idiotic first mate of yours since we left that blasted island, Orses."
Law tossed the head vigorously and glared at the ground with the new information. Another meathead falling for his childish first mate. "Tch..." Law was pissed and he knew just how to vent his anger. Turning to the marines, he tossed the head back and one of them caught it.
"Eh? ...EHHH?! A head?!" The marine fumbled with his friend's head.
"Hey! Don't drop me!" The head shouted and was caught. "I thought I was a goner...! Everyone, watch out! Don't enter the circles that guy makes!"
Law shouldered his sword and held out his hands. "Room." His room expanded around himself and a couple of slow headed marines.
"Y-You mean this?"
The head gulped. "Yeah, just like this...EH?!"
Law raised Kikoku and sent out numerous slashes. The marines were cut in half and Law smirked.
"We've been cut!"
"W-What in the worlds going on?!"
Sheathing his sword, Law raised his hands again. "Relax now and make yourselves comfortable. This'll be over before you know it." Law waved his hands around and surrounded himself with floating body parts and random items. "You guys caught me in a bad mood, which is quite unfortunate for you." Bringing his hands together, he snapped the marines in places beyond their comprehensions. Heads were attached to barrels, feet were attached to arms, and bodies were attached to different bodies. In other words, it looked like a surgery room gone either wrong...or very right? "Heh..."
"GIANT PISTOL!"
"EAT THIS!"
Kidd and Luffy launched a simultaneous attack of a giant fist and a giant metal hand and it crashed into Law's room, catching the marines inside and the one's still in their path. The ground shook as all around the marines came crashing down.
Law had moved out of the way to avoid getting caught in the attack. He glared at the two idiots, one extremely tall and one...extremely small? Law smirked at Straw Hat's current form. "What's with that, Mr. Straw Hat? That's not a very nice finish."
Luffy looked up at his friend and let out a squeaky voice. "Really?"
At that moment, the rest of the crews exited the auction house. Law turned back to glance at his crew and he saw Sayu carrying a small child. What had she picked up now?
The twins were walking out, rubbing their faces and Ryu was holding his body with a pained look.
"Law!" Sayu waved to him and started to giggle. "Both the twins and Ryu crashed into the wall when Kidd activated his devil fruit. It was too funny..."
Shachi took a look around and whistled. "The Captain is going berserk out here."
Law ignored his crew's stupidity and looked back to the marines. They had begun an all out full charge towards the three Captains.
"Aim the mortars at those without powers! Firing squads, to the rear! We're now commencing an all-out attack! Take down those pirates!" The Marine Captain pointed towards them and the marines let out a yell and headed towards them.
"Hmph...their formation has fallen to crap...it's a free-for-all now." Kidd gazed over the marines heading for them.
Luffy let out a chuckle. "I'm back to normal!"
"What is normal to you, Mr. Straw Hat?" Law glanced over to him with a sarcastic attitude.
"Oi." Kidd called out to Law and Luffy, getting their attention. "You both are dead meat the next time we meet. And I promise no mercy." Kidd threatened both Law and Luffy and the two looked over to him.
Luffy grinned at Kidd. "But I'm going to find the One Piece." He chuckled and turned back to face the marines.
Law had to admire the kids spunk. Mr. Straw Hat was an amusing ally to have, but he could only imagine he could take only so much of his idiocy. Kidd was thinking over what Luffy had said and completely ignored the marine charging for him.
"Hah!" The marine swung his axe down towards Kidd but was blocked by Killer jumping into the action.
Killer caught the axe with his whirling scythes and slashed across the marine and turned to Kidd. "Oi, Kidd! What're you standing around for?!"
"...You know, Killer..."
Killer looked up to his Captain and tilted his head. "Hm?"
"On our journey up to this point, we've been laughed at and ridiculed whenever we mentioned getting our hands on One Piece. And each time that happened, I slaughtered everyone who laughed. But what lies ahead is a sea of death for those who don't have the guts to mention it!" Letting out a grin, he spoke his challenge. "Let's meet again, in the New World!"
Law smirked while saying nothing and Luffy grinned.
Kidd took a step forward first. "Let's go men!"
"And woman!" Bora jumped on top of Kidd's face and launched herself in the air. "DIE!" She bought her fist down and cracked the ground with her punch, causing marines to go flying.
Kidd rubbed his face of the heel stain and glared at the girl. "You're going in the brig for that!"
"Trafalgar Law!"
Law looked up with an uninterested look as he saw a marine charging for him. "Hm?"
Sayu handed the child she was carrying to Haken. "Hold him for me, would you?"
"How dare you mess with my comrades earlier?!" The marine bought his blade down for Law.
Law only smirked and closed his eyes. "Sayu."
"Don't touch my best friend!" Sayu held out her twin pistols and fired off six shots, three of them going through the marine that had charged for Law, dropping him instantly in a puddle of his own blood. The other three went into the foreheads of three marines coming from behind Law. Sayu twirled her guns and blew on them, blowing out the smoke. "Extreme accuracy."
"She killed them! I thought she was pure!" Usopp screamed at the blood bath Sayu had created.
Law turned away from the marines and faced Straw Hat. "We're going to go ahead. By the way, tell your cook to stop sending those love letters to Sayu."
Luffy grinned. "Sa-chan is all Sanji will talk about these days. Oh Torao, once this is over we should go to the amusement park! It was awesome!"
Law glanced off to the side and huffed. "You're truly an idiot, Mr. Straw Hat." Waving his hand in a good bye gestured as Straw Hat's crew approached him, he moved over to his next target...the semi giant of a man, Jean Bart. Glancing up at the giant, he made eye contact. "Would you like to come with me...Pirate Captain Jean Bart?"
"Why?" Jean Bart stared at the pirate.
Law raised his hand. "Room." Enveloping him and Jean Bart in his room, Law sliced off Jean Bart's head and separated the collar from his body.
The marines looked on in shock. "He just freed Saint Roswald's slave!" They charged forward and Jean Bart swung his arm, knocking the marines off their feet.
"It's been a while since I've heard someone call me that title." Swatting the marines aside like flies, he nodded to Law. "If it means to be free from the Tenryubito's then I'll gladly serve under you!"
Law chuckled and glanced over to his first mate. "Save some of that gratuity to Mr. Straw Hat and my first mate."
Trinity Sayu
Sayu took the child from Haken and carried him around again with a happy aura. It was like carrying a toy!
"You know he's not a toy." Ryu spoke up as if reading her thoughts.
Sayu barked back at him. "Stay outta my head! I know he's not a toy!"
"Aiyahhh!" Bepo kicked down some marines that were charging for them.
"Captain!"
Sayu turned to see Law and Jean Bart make their way over calmly amidst all the chaos. "Law! I hope you had fun! This was such a blast to experience!" Her eyes sparkled with glee. "Ah, if we catch up to Luffy and the others, we should go to the amusement park!" Sayu turned her eyes to Jean Bart and they too sparkled once again in excitement. "Hi! I'm Trinity Sayu, your new first mate!"
"Sayu, what is that?" Law stared at the child in her arms.
"Best Flush!" A wave of cards knocked into some marines running towards them.
Sayu chuckled nervously and patted the quiet boys head. He was watching everything with a solemn look. "Ah well...he...I uh...well. I saw him with the other slaves and I was thinking like what the hell is a child doing here? Like who's evil enough to kidnap a harmless child? And then I looked into his eyes and I saw this look! I've only seen that look in one other child and I wished that I could've just been there to help at least a little bit! So when I saw the same look in his eyes it made me want to just bring him with me! I know it's not a good idea, but we can't just leave him! I know we're pirates and it's not-"
Law smacked her head with Kikoku. "You're rambling."
Sayu rubbed her head and then held the boy tighter. "Let's get off this island first and let things cool off and then we can decide what to do with him?"
Law pinched his nose and then silently walked away. "Clear a path and lets move."
"We're on it!" The twins shouted and ran forward.
Shachi and Penguin looked at each other and grinned. "Don't forget about us!" Both engineers followed behind the twins and everyone else started running forth.
"Devils Tornado!" The twins twirled their bodies and their twelve blades sent out a giant vortex tornado straight into some marines and sent them whirling in the air.
"Jean Bart!" Sayu called out to the giant as they crossed a bridge. "Break it down!" Jean Bart jumped up and slammed his fist down onto the bridge, breaking it and making it crumble beneath the pirates and their trailing marines. The Heart Pirates jumped across the rubble as it fell and made it to the other side. "Thank you, Jean Bart!" Sayu called to him as she landed and continued to run, while covering the child as much as she could with her own body.
"Captain! Over there!" Shachi stopped and pointed ahead to where Law and Sayu could barely make out the Kidd pirates and they were fighting...
Sayu's eyes narrowed at the figure. "Tch, I hate this part." She grumbled and came to a stop right in front of the Kidd pirate's battle and Law stopped right next to her.
"Mr. Eustass and..." Law studied the figure with calculating eyes. "What is a Shichibukai doing on these islands?"
The bear like Shichibukai looked up at the two. "Trafalgar Law and Trinity Sayu..."
Both Captain and first mate narrowed their eyes at him. Law swung his sword around placed it in front of himself and Sayu. "You know our names?"
Sayu jumped away as soon as Law moved his sword and started to run. Bartholomew Kuma opened his mouth and charged up a light, aiming for Law. Law braced himself but then his eyes widened. At the last second, Kuma turned his head and aimed for Sayu who was still running.
Sayu, hearing something speed towards her, turned her head, saw the light and instantly turned her body to cover the child hoping to get the brunt of the attack instead. An explosion occurred and Sayu was thrown forwards and tumble rolled. She came to a stop with the child beneath her and something on top of her back. She opened her eyes and first saw the yellow mop of hair that belong to the kid she was carrying and he looked terrified.
The next thing she saw was the blood around the ground and the white spotted hat that fell in front of her. 'Wait...white spotted hat...' Sayu held in a gasp and then slowly moved her body up and over the side. A thud was heard and Sayu turned over to look.
Law's body was laying next to her with his eyes wide open and blood flowing from a hole in his stomach...a huge gaping hole.
"CAPTAIN!" The Heart Pirates shouted and then all ran to him and Sayu.
Sayu was in shock...she was in terror. Sayu was scared...this wasn't suppose to happen.
"I knew idiots like you would just get in the way, Trafalgar!" Kidd shouted over his shoulder and then turned back to Kuma.
"Sayu! Focus!" Ryu smacked Sayu out of her trance. She glanced down and saw Law's body again and it still wasn't moving!
"Ah...Law..." She muttered his name and stared at his body.
Haken picked up the child and stepped back. "Close your eyes little man." He instructed the child and placed his hand over his eyes.
"Sayu-chan! We need you to focus!" Penguin shook Sayu's shoulders. Everyone was in shock. They knew their Captain could have teleported Sayu and the child away but she was just out of reach of his room. Then they saw their Captain move incredibly fast and push Sayu and got hit instead. "Sayu-chan! The Captain isn't dead!"
Sayu pulled herself out of her trance. She had to be strong. She had to grow up and take charge. Law wasn't going to die, she wouldn't let him. Sayu wiped her eyes quickly as tears threatened to fall and then she looked around at her crew. "Haken, use one of your cards as a gurney. Shachi, Penguin and the twins, carry the Captain and head to the sub. Haken, do what you can to keep the Captain alive until I get there. Staunch his bleeding and immediately begin stitching. Bepo, Ryu and Jean Bart, you guys are with me." She rummaged around in her backpack and choked back her tears. Seeing Law like that...is worse than any nightmare she would have.
Haken shifted the child as he threw out a card and it expanded and grew. "You're going to fight that thing?"
Sayu nodded as she put the gun she bought with her together. Standing up and holding her light machine gun in both hands, she glared at the fake Shichibukai. "He's not going to let us all pass. Law has a better chance if some of us stay behind and deal with him. Now go and take care of Law and the kid."
Ryu cracked his neck as his chains dropped and he prepared for the fight. "Try and stay out of our way, Kidd Pirates..."
Kidd held out his arms as metal gathered around both and formed two heavy arms. "You guys just stay back and out of our way."
The robot Shichibukai opened his mouth and fired off another laser beam towards the Heart pirates. Sayu jumped down and avoided the beam and landed next to Killer. "Go!" She shouted to her crew as she raised her gun. "Bullet Barrage!" She fired a stream of bullets that hit the Shichibukai directly.
Kuma was skidding back as the heavy bullets hit his body and forced him back. Haken took the chance and started towards their ship with the twins and engineers right behind him, carrying Law. "Be careful, little soldier!"
"EAT LEAD YOU BASTARD!" Sayu shouted as she continued her barrage of bullets. Sayu was gonna make this fucker pay for hurting Law.
Killer took the moment to charge forward with his whirling blades and slice around Kuma's legs. Sparks flew as his blades slashed across his legs. "Tch..." Killer jumped back seeing that his attack had no effect.
Sayu's magazine emptied and she grimaced as her barrage came to a stop. "Jean Bart!" She called for the giant and he ran forward and grappled with Kuma barehanded.
"Hah!" Jean Bart head butted Kuma and winced as he saw stars.
Bora ran forward and jumped in the air. "Just die already!" She swung her fist down onto Kuma's head. "AH!" Pulling back, she landed on the ground and held her fist that was now bleeding. "Why is he so hard?!"
"Because he's a fake! Not the real Bartholomew Kuma!" Sayu changed out her magazine and ran around the fake while holding her gun up. "Bullet barrage!" Still running a circle around Kumo, she sprayed her bullets nonstop.
"Take this!" Kidd raised his arms and bought the metal extensions down on Kuma, Jean Bart, and Sayu.
Jean Bart, seeing this had jumped out of the way and Sayu rolled away as well. "Watch it!" Sayu glared at Kidd and then turned back to the robot.
Kuma robot stood up from the wreckage with barely a scratch on him. Sayu looked at him nervously, knowing she didn't have time to stay here and fight. Law's life was in danger right now and he needed her for once.
"Bepo, let's go!" Ryu jumped into the air and swung a chain towards Kuma and it wrapped around his body.
Bepo ran forward and bought his foot up. "Hiyah!" Launching a full forced kick, he knocked the robot down as Ryu pulled his chain tighter and threw his other hand out.
"Spider net!" A series of chains flew from Ryu's coat and covered the robot in a trapped net on the ground. Ryu grunted while trying to hold his chains down.
"You're dead!" Kidd threw a huge metal ball towards Kuma and it rocked the ground and kicked up dirt and debris.
Everyone covered their eyes as dust was flying everywhere. "Is he down?!" Bepo shouted everyone's thoughts as they waited for the dust to clear.
Sayu blinked back some dirt from her eyes and focused on robot Kuma still on the ground. She dropped her gun and ran towards the robot.
"Shrimp!" Ryu called for his first mate but she ignored him.
Jumping onto Kuma's head, she grabbed hold. "I got this!" Sayu pulled out her screw driver and drove the blunt end into one of Kuma's eyes. "He's a robot and like anything mechanical, I can handle this!" Ripping open his eye further, she then stabbed her pocket knife into his circuits and started slicing. "Ah!" Kuma stood up from his trapped chains and started to whirl around with Sayu holding onto his head.
"Sayu!" Bepo shouted as he saw her getting smashed into trees as Kuma went berserk.
Sayu grunted and turned her head to Killer. "Killer, a little help! His eyes, aim for the eyes!" Killer jumped on top of Kuma's head and stabbed his blade into the other eye. Smoke could be seen coming from both eyes as the two first mates continued their onslaught of cutting and ripping wires. Then a beeping sound occurred and both first mates looked at each other. Sayu gulped and nodded to Killer. "Take cover!"
Sayu and Killer jumped away from the robot just as he exploded and everyone was tossed backwards.
"Shrimp?! Oi, Shrimp?!" Ryu looked for his first mate in the destruction around them.
"Killer!" Kidd called for his own first mate and looked in the dust.
Both Sayu and Killer were on the ground, looking at the dead remains of the robot in front of them. The two first mates glanced at each other and then let out a sigh together. "That was strenuous." Killer muttered and Sayu nodded.
"I never want to do that again..." Sayu shook her head and looked at her shaking hands. "Jashin..." She suddenly looked up and then remembered Law. "Law! Guys, let's go!" Sayu stood up, grabbed her backpack and her LMG and ran off with the remaining Heart Pirates following her.
Trinity Sayu
Running into the sub, Sayu rushed into the med bay and saw Shachi and Penguin tending to Law. He was still bleeding heavily and was unresponsive. Bepo held the Captain's sword as he paced about the med bay. He couldn't ever help in operations because of his paws and fur. So he could only watch as Sayu ran around the med bay while sniffling and trying to get a hold of herself.
"Okay...okay...okay..." Sayu kept repeating that word and started to hyperventilate.
"Focus, Sayu!" Yuri shouted at her as looked at the EKG system.
Sayu took a deep breath and looked at the monitor. His heart rate was pouring out different numbers with every flicker. "One twenty-four, sixty-eight, two-seventeen...he's in V fib..." She muttered while reading the numbers. She really has been studying the books that Law made her read every night.
"What's V fib?!" Yuki looked scared while trying to stop the bleeding from his Captain's stomach.
Sayu grabbed a pair of gloves and rushed over. "Start compression! It's a trick of the heart and causes rapid and inconclusive beating of the heart." She felt his wrist for a pulse as Yuki started compression and Shachi pulled out more towels to staunch Law's bleeding.
Sayu's heart dropped as she couldn't feel a pulse. Her hands shook and she started to breath harder. "I can't do this..."
Penguin looked over to his first mate in shock. "Sayu! You have to do this! The Captain has been teaching you and you only! Get a hold of yourself! We need our first mate!"
Yuki continued to do compression on Law's chest while looking over to Sayu who was having a break down at the wrong moment. "Sayu please calm down!"
"Sayu! Please save the Captain!" Bepo called to his first mate with little tears in his eyes.
Yuri looked at the monitor and bit his lip. "Oxygen levels are dropping!"
Sayu whimpered but went back to Law and shook her fears off. "I'm not like Law but I can try...jashin, I wish I had medical ninjutsu..."
Haken
Haken glanced down at the boy that was still sitting in his lap. As soon as Sayu got back, he, Ryu and the kid went into the kitchen to wait for the news on the Captain. The two older men weren't of much help when Sayu had the rest of the crew in there with her.
Taking his mind of the current situation, he addressed the kid with snake like eyes. "So, what's your name?"
The kid blinked at him and looked away. Ryu chuckled at Haken's crestfallen look. "He obviously doesn't like you."
"Oh come on, I'm usually great with kids." Haken muttered and looked over the child. "You need some new clothes...I think I can tailor up a smaller jump suit for you."
Ryu looked down at the sake he was drinking and clenched his cup. "...Oi, Haken..."
Haken interrupted him before he could say anything else. "He'll be fine. The little soldier isn't going to let her best friend die. And even more so...our Captain is too stubborn to drop dead." Haken smirked.
Trinity Sayu
"His heart rate is stable. BP and vitals are at eighty five percent." Yuki read off the monitor.
Law laid on the bed with an oxygen mask around his face and wrapped up with bandages all around his waist. Everything was quiet as everyone took a deep breath. Sayu had worked her courage up to stitch the Captain back together and bring him back to life.
Usually it's her on this bed, and now it's his turn for once. Why did he take that attack for her? She constantly tells him, it'd be better for her to die instead of him. Why won't he believe that?
Sayu put on a fake smile and turned to her crew. "Nothing to worry about! Law is gonna be just fine!" The crew froze and were looking at each other. How can they believe that when she says that line? "Seriously, go get some rest and please look after that kid for me. Put him in my room when he's ready to sleep." She looked down at Law with a gentle smile. "I'll stay here and observe him."
The crew looked apprehensive but slowly left. Bepo was the last to leave as he turned back to Sayu. "Are you sure the Captain will be alright?"
Sayu sent the cute bear a thumbs up. "But of course!"
Bepo gave her a look and spoke up once more. "Okay, but what about you?"
"I'll be just fine!" Sayu giggled, being rather fake about it and waved bye to Bepo as he left. "Yep...everything's going to be just fine..." Sayu sat in the chair next to the bed and pulled her knees up. "Idiot Law...I'm the one that doesn't deserve to be in this world...but you do. Why? Why did you do that?" She looked over to the newspaper from today and winced. "I'm running out of time..." Sayu put her face in her hands and covered her mouth. "There's too much going on..." She was starting to breath hard again. That was so scary...seeing Law like that. She never wants to see that again, ever.
Sayu gripped her crystal necklace and took a deep breath. Glancing at the machines that Law was hooked up to, she studied them carefully. "...He's stable..." Moving over to Law's desk, she grabbed a piece of paper and pencil and started to write a letter. "I'm sorry Law...but I'm needed..."
Ryu
"Well, what's the word?" Ryu asked the crew as everyone came into the kitchen.
Bepo let out a grin and smiled. "The Captain is going to be fine. Sayu is taking care of him."
Shachi pumped his fist up and hollered. "Our first mate is the next best! Of course she wouldn't let the Captain die!"
"Well of course, and besides the Captain is way too stubborn to die." Yuri sat down at the table with a satisfied look.
Haken chuckled and looked over to the twins. "That's the same thing I told Kurokoto-san earlier."
"On another note, what are we doing about him?" Penguin pointed to the child that Haken was still holding.
Ryu shook his head. "The shrimp bought him along. You know she's got a huge heart...sometimes. The Captain won't let her keep him though. He's not a pet, that's a child for crying out loud."
The child looked around the people surrounding him with a bored look. His snake like eyes glancing back and forth between them.
Ryu glanced at their newest crew member and studied him. "Jean Bart. We don't bite dude, you can come sit down...somewhere you can fit preferably."
Jean Bart looked over at the cook and nodded his head. "Thanks..." He sat down on the ground next to the table as he didn't fit in any of the chairs.
"Ah, new crew members means a party when the Captain is better!" Shachi chuckled and then looked to the twins. "New performance for us."
Yuki smiled softly and nodded. "We've been working on a few songs."
"Well-" Ryu was about to speak but got cut off as the sub shook a little and everyone could hear something move out the distance. "Was that...?"
Bepo raced off and the others followed him as he went to the control room. Bepo looked over the panel and saw the red blinking light. "Sayu left."
"WHAT?!"
Bepo looked down with a sad expression. "She's gone and took the mini sub with her."
Ryu pushed Bepo out of the way and looked over their panel. The mini sub had been detached and sped off less then a minute ago. "How could she just leave?! What about the Captain?! And where the hell is she going?!"
Everyone was at a loss for words. How could their first mate just up and leave without telling anyone where she was going or what she was doing?! Their Captain is incapacitated and now their first mate was gone. What do they do now?
Haken let out a sigh. "The Captain is going to be pissed when he wakes up..."
Trafalgar Law
Law was in a dream filled state, tittering on the edge of consciousness. His body was still on one of his operation beds, motionless. In his state, one word ran through his mind. The name of his first mate, repeated itself in his dream state.
A lone letter was on Law's desk and it was addressed to him from Sayu. When he wakes, he'll find the letter and then Law would either be crushed or pissed, depending on how he would take it. Basically his first mate just left him and his crew for another man.
'Law, I'm sorry I couldn't be there when you wake up. I'll take any punishment you want to give me if I come back alive. But I have to go to Ace...I promised him. Nothing to worry about, only saving him and changing this world as we know it. Anyway, please watch over the kid for me and do what you need to do. I shouldn't have left you in the state that you are, but once you were stable I knew I had to leave if I wanted to make it in time to Ace. So again, I'm sorry but he needs me more. You'll be fine, I know it. Wait for me, okay? Everything will work out, I promise...love Trinity Sayu, your first mate and best friend.'
