A/N: Kudos to those who get the "Love you 3000" Reference


Trinity Sayu

"So you know what to do, right?"

Sayu scratched her head nervously but nodded anyway to Law's question. "I got it, but this will take a while...I've got to send out the letters by the next few days and then we need to find the perfect island to host this on."

Law turned away from her while tapping his pencil lightly on his desk. "I have complete faith that you'll be able to do this all."

"And you want to do it all in one day...you're asking a lot of me honestly." Sayu muttered a little pissed that Law was making her handle this whole event of his.

"And I know you can do it." Law nodded to his first mate as he observed Orochi playing on the floor of the floor of the med bay with his snakes.

Sayu glanced at Orochi and blushed. "He's too cute..."

Orochi looked up at her with a smile and it made Sayu's heart melt. "Okaa-san..."

"Gahhh..." Sayu covered her cheeks and wiggled around. "Orochi, you're too cute for your own good!"

"Sayu!" Law tapped his sword on her head and Sayu winced. "You're going to do this and get it done, okay?"

Sayu let out a dramatic sigh. "So much work for me lately. I have to rebuild another mini plane and mini sub because we lost both. Then Haken wants his arm upgraded and now you drop this on me. No rest for the weary, huh? Alright, Law. I'll get started on it right away." Sayu made to leave, but Law had grabbed her hand on her way out. "Hm?

Law pulled her closer and Sayu knew what he was going to do. "Take a deep breath." Sayu did as instructed and then Law put his lips on hers.

Orochi looked at the two with a slight smirk and then went back to playing with his snakes.

Law pulled away gently and then looked at his frozen first mate. At least she wasn't fainting any longer when he kissed her now. "Now you just need to learn to kiss back." Law muttered to her quietly and then let her go and went back to his paperwork.

Sayu stared at Law with a red face and then quietly looked over to Ace's body. Whenever Law kisses her, she now feels guilty when she looks at Ace for some reason. But she doesn't know why that feeling pops up. She also is still confused about Law's confession to her. She likes the way things are. If she actually gave Law a proper answer on his confession...how would things change? She doesn't want to have their relationship change their friendship. Honestly...in that moment...Sayu felt a little bit scared.

Shaking her head of the thoughts, she left the room quickly and quietly as to not disturb Law and Orochi.


Trafalgar Law

"Otou-san?"

Law gave Orochi a sideways glance and acknowledged him. "Yes?"

Orochi glanced at the door where Sayu had just left and then looked at his father figure. "Studies have shown that when a woman doesn't respond how most would, it usually means she is confused."

Law arched his brow at the kid. "Why is your vocabulary and speech so good?" He shook his head and then looked away. "Never mind that. And I already knew that she was feeling confused."

Orochi gently petted his snakes with careful hands as if thinking. "I do not comprehend. If you knew that, then why do you continue to impose your emotions upon her?"

Law chuckled. "Because the only way for us to get any progress is to tackle the events head on with her. I cannot allow her to continue about her ways because she is so dense when it comes to feelings. It won't be good for any of us...and another thing..." Law glanced at his photo of him and Sayu in his picture frame on his desk. "I like teasing her, it's humorous at times to see her flustered face. I'm sure you enjoy the teasing as well."

Orochi nodded with a grin. "She is very slow witted and I enjoy it all the while. I have never met a person who is so inept with human emotion even if she is one herself. She is very bungling as well and it is quite humorous."

Law nodded with his own smirk. "You must read a lot to be using words like those."

"Knowledge is power Otou-san...but it is also pain." Orochi muttered with a frown.

"Agreed." Law looked at Orochi with calculating eyes. "Whenever you're ready to talk about what happened before we picked you up, make sure you go to Sayu. She's better at that kind of talk instead of me."

Orochi looked up at Law with a blank look and then looked back down to his snakes and went back to quietly playing with them. "What are you going to do about the comatose man?"

Law glanced over to Ace's prone form. "Haven't crossed that bridge yet, we'll think of something when we get there."

"Isn't Okaa-san smitten with the man? I've heard the commentaries on their time together." Orochi smiled sadistically as he said that, hoping to hit a nerve in Law's body.

Law turned back to glare at the child, but then his glare slowly turned into a malicious grin. "Nice try, Orochi. But I won't hand over Sayu so easily."

"I can't wait for the entertainment." Orochi grinned and Law's eyes sparked with minuscule hate as he looked at Ace's body once more. If Mr. Fire Fist does still want to take Sayu, he would dismember the man for the rest of his stay. "Okaa-san!" Orochi called for his mother figure in a sweet voice.

Sayu poked her head in with a her hands full of papers. "Hm?"

Orochi smiled at her, showing off his fangs and said the dreaded words. "I love you three thousand."

Sayu fell to the ground with the papers scattering around her and bawled up in fetal position. "Oh Jashin, Tony!" She cried into her hands with sobs choking her.

Law glared at Orochi. "Stop doing that!"

Orochi grinned with his imaginary devil ears and tail sticking out. The kid loved teasing his mother.


Trinity Sayu

Sayu was sitting on Law's bed with her face into her laptop. She had so much to do for her and Law's mission, 'Law's One Hundred Heart Challenge!', as she calls it. She needed peace and quiet for once to think. The first thing would be to send out maybe a pirates only news. Obviously some marines would get the message too, but Sayu wasn't too worried about some worthless marines.

Next would be to locate an island where they could host the entire event. She knows which island it originally took place on...Rocky Point...but she's gonna ask Bepo about that once she finishes making a message system or something.

And finally would be the getting the hearts all at once thing. Law ran over the so called plan with her, as there was more details, but as soon as she saw Orochi being his usually cute self, she zoned out by accident.

When should they have this event for Law...? As soon as possible is what he would say...right?

"Sayu-chan!" Penguin could be heard calling for the first mate.

Sayu put her laptop aside and made her way to the door and opened it. Poking her head out, she looked to see Penguin staring directly at her with a shocked expression on his face and a blush. "What's up, Penguin?"

Penguin looked at Sayu closely. She was wearing her new outfit for today. It was a yellow tank top with a black biker jacket and she had on skin tight black stretch pants. Her legs looked amazing in those tights. Penguin couldn't think straight while staring at the clueless red head. "Sayu-chan...you're..."

"Beautiful, right?" A voice spoke from behind Penguin.

"Yes...so very beautiful! And sexy!" Penguin's body wiggled in place while staring at the creeped out Sayu. Then Penguin's body froze as he looked behind himself, feeling an ominous aura.

Haken was standing behind Penguin, cracking his knuckles with a tick mark on his smiling face. "Oh...sexy you say? I don't think that sounds about right, coming from you sento soldier..."

Penguin stepped back in fear and cowered. "I'm sorry, I won't say anything more!"

Sayu glared at the two. "What did you need Penguin?"

"Oh yeah, well. Shachi and I were wondering, since we're still at Sabaody and things have calmed down if you wanted to go to the amusement park with us?"

Sayu thought about this for a moment and then shook her head. "As much as I want to, I can't. I have so much work to do, it's not even funny. And Law still has me on lock down because of Marineford. I don't know when he'll lighten up on the punishment. I'm lucky he let me keep my laptop. I don't think I could handle another withdrawal week."

Penguin sighed, bummed out. "That's too bad. I know we would have fun together."

Haken shoved the engineer away. "She said no, now go about your day, sento soldier."

Penguin held up his hands and walked away from the overprotective cowboy. "Fine fine, catch you guys later at dinner then."

"So what's on your plate this time, little soldier?" Haken peeked into the Captain's room and saw papers thrown everywhere and books all over the place. "You know Captain-san likes his room to be clean. He's gonna get upset with you."

Sayu looked around the room and chuckled. "I'll clean it up. Besides he knows I'm working on our plan anyway."

"So what is this plan you two are working on?" Haken was curious as the Captain wouldn't specify with the rest of the crew.

Sayu smirked and giggled darkly. "The plan is...a secret." She gave him a wink and Haken sighed, then patted her head.

"Very well, just make sure it's not anything dangerous for you."

Sayu grinned. "Nothing to worry about! We'll be fine!"

Haken groaned as she said that. "That's when we start worrying the most..." Haken looked around slowly. "On another note...how are you and Captain-san doing?"

Sayu leaned on the door frame with an aggravated look. "I'm not sure how to go about this..."

"Well, the first thing you need to ask yourself, do you like Captain-san, like he likes you? He tries to give you the world, we can all tell that. And he cares about you a great deal. He protected you from that fake Shichibukai without a second thought. I didn't really approve at first because I don't want you to like anyone. You're my sister and I'm suppose to protect you from everything and everyone. But when he threw his life on the line for you like that, I reconsidered." Haken smiled at her and gently grabbed a piece of her hair and put it to his lips. "If I was Captain-san, I'd do everything I could to make you happy. I get the feeling that he does that a lot for you already."

Sayu bounced Haken's words in her head and sighed. "...I do like Law. Like a lot, but I also like Ace and Sanji a lot too..."

Haken chuckled and released her hair. "Well, I've seen a lot of things in the world. And I have to say, Captain-san is the one who probably loves you the most. You should at least give him a chance." Haken turned away from her. "Later."

"Ah, where are you going?" Sayu asked him.

Haken threw her a smirk. "To write a letter to my pretty lady. I'm not sure where she is, but I hope to find her soon. And when I meet her next time, I'll give her all the letters I wrote for her."

Sayu's eyes sparkled with excitement. "You must really like Robin!"

"Indeed...like Captain-san likes you."

Sayu blushed slightly and looked down. "Oh, by the way, can you have one of the idiots wipe down the hallways. I think Law was having one of his sadistic tendencies last night and I saw some blood on the floor when I went to do my morning walk through."

Haken nodded and left her standing there. "Will do, little soldier." Although Haken knew it wasn't the Captain that had been leaving bloody messes lately...it was their yandere child and his experiments.


Trafalgar Law

Law's eye twitched as he looked upon the scene he came into. Jean Bart was covered with Orochi's snakes slithering on him and nearly having a heart attack.

Orochi was sitting at the dining table eating his snacks while watching with sick satisfaction.

"...Captain. A little help would be nice." Jean mumbled as he was being very still to not aggravate the snakes.

Law turned his gaze onto the small child. "Get them off him and put them back in your room. Now."

Orochi pouted and put his crackers down. "They just wanted to perceive the inhabitants of their new domain."

Jean Bart looked to his Captain carefully. "Translation?"

Law sighed. "The snakes wanted to see who they were staying with. To identify friend from foe..." Glancing at Orochi again with narrowed eyes. "...right?"

Orochi smirked. "Sure...that is an acceptable answer."

"This is why those things shouldn't be allowed to stay on board! I swear Captain, Bepo is going to be snake feed one morning!" Ryu glared at the child as he was preparing dinner.

"Your feeble brain astounds me, Ryu-san." Orochi spoke up as he moved to Jean Bart to take his snakes back. "If you had examined them closely, you would notice that these variables do not intake people or...in Bepo's term, bears of the mammalian family as well. I can overtake their growth and have them enhanced to start partaking in human consummation though if it will sate your worries."

Ryu blinked at the child with a frown. "What...?"

Ignoring Ryu, Orochi grabbed his snakes one by one and placed them on the floor. "To my room, variables." He spoke and walked off with the snakes following.

Law shook his head and sat down at the table. "Ryu, coffee."

Ryu walked over to him while pouring some coffee in his favorite mug. "Why are we keeping that kid, Captain? I can barely understand what he talks about."

Law took the cup and leaned back. "Sayu likes him. And besides...he's interesting. As you can tell, Orochi is very intelligent for his age."

"But still..." Ryu mumbled. "I feel like he's mocking us sometimes."

Law smirked and took a sip. "Only you guys. He has some sort of fascination with Sayu and I."

"I thought I was going to die..." Jean Bart said as he sat down against the wall. "That child is scary."

"He's got his own room now?" Ryu questioned with a peeved look.

"Of course. Sayu gave her room to him and he stays there now with his snakes. I wasn't going to bunk him with you guys. You might be dead one morning if I did that. Although he doesn't really sleep in his room at night." Law mentioned as he read the paper for today.

"Does that mean...you and the shrimp have taken the next step now? Honestly we're all a little nosy and have been wondering how you guys have been doing." Ryu was curious on the Captain and First mate's relationship. It was like a little drama to everyone on board. "I mean you guys sleep in the same bed now and everything..."

"We're fine. She'll learn to accept everything in due time. Anyway, at dinner time, I need everyone here so we can go over the next step of action of Sayu and I's plan." Law flipped his paper casually, reading the next heading. "Straw Hat Pirates...gone? Heh...the world thinks the Straw Hat's are gone. If only they knew the truth..."

"How long is this alliance with the Straw Hat's suppose to last for? I'm tired of their idiotic Captain..." Ryu said with a frown. The Straw Hat's are nothing but trouble if you asked him.

"I can't give you a definite answer on that. Until I deem them worthless, we'll keep it up. Besides, you can't tell me you don't find their antics humorous at times." Law chuckled and tossed the paper on the table.

Jean Bart looked over to the cook. "If it wasn't for them I would probably still be the Tenryubito's slave. They have my gratitude."

"I've got it!"

Sayu busted into the kitchen with her hands full of papers. The three looked at her in question.

"Law! We're throwing a mass party!" She spoke in excited english to him.

"Mass party?" Law questioned.

"A Heart Pirate party! For Law's One Hundred Heart Challenge!" Sayu spoke fast to him that he almost didn't catch it in her language. "I think I'm ripping off a movie, but it'll be done quite differently then before! Cause there won't be any survivors! Hahaha!"

Ryu and Jean Bart looked at each other slowly as they didn't speak english and couldn't understand what the Captain and first mate were talking about.

"...Okay...we'll discuss your details at dinner. Alright?" Law switched back to his language as he addressed her. "I hope it's a good plan. I don't want this to mess up."

Sayu nodded rapidly and then addressed her crew mates. "Guys...this is gonna be the best plan ever! Even if I thought it out poorly and we might end up in Navy hands. But if we do our best, everyone will be fine and then Law can finally take the next step to One Piece!" Sayu drooled at the thought of seeing Law as a Shichibukai in his punk hazard clothes. "Law will be even cooler than he is now...kyahhhh..." Her cheeks blushed red and she dropped her papers and covered her cheeks. "We're all gonna be so famous after this and then-"

"LUFFYYYYYY!"

The pirates stopped everything as they heard the scream that resounded in the sub. Ace...had finally woke up.

"Ace!" Sayu ran out of the room to the med bay with the three following her. Sayu opened the door and looked over at Ace who was now on the floor looking around with wide eyes and shaking violently. "Ace! It's alright!" Sayu crouched down next to him and put her hand on him but he shoved it away.

"Where is Luffy?! Where's Pops?!" Ace was in hysteria.

"Ace! Calm down, please! You've just woken up after two weeks!" Sayu tried to calm down the commander but then he grabbed her shoulders harshly.

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" He shouted in her face and Sayu winced.

Law walked over and knocked Ace back to the floor with his foot. "Calm yourself Mr. Fire Fist." He glared at the freckled boy. "Don't touch her like that again. You could hurt her."

Ace looked around slowly and then turned back to Sayu. "Sayu...what happened?" He asked her with a shaky voice.

"Ace..." Sayu reached out for him, but Law pulled her hand back.

"He's not stable...give him a minute." He warned her and then went over to Fire Fist. "You need to relax, you've been in a coma for two weeks."

Ace heaved out his breathes and took deep breaths. His hand slowly traveled up to his chest. He remembers dying...there should've been a gaping hole in his chest...but it wasn't there now. So what happened?

"Are you calm now?" Law asked the man on the floor.

Ace looked up at Law with a single nod. "Tell me...what happened?"

"They called it the war of the best..." Sayu spoke and Ace turned to her. "So many people died...Ace, Whitebeard is gone...I'm so sorry..."

Ace closed his eyes tightly and put his head down. "Pops..." He whimpered out for his father figure.

Both Ryu and Jean Bart looked at the broken man with slightly sad eyes. The man had lost his father figure and was feeling it harshly.

"...Ace...Luffy is fine though." Sayu said next and Ace choked back his tears.

"...Luffy...thank god...but Pops...my brothers...I have to go to them!" Ace made to stand up but Sayu put her hand on his shoulders. Ace looked at her as she shook her head sadly.

"...With Whitebeard gone...so much has changed while you were sleeping Ace. The Whitebeard pirates are gone Ace." She muttered.

Ace's eyes bugged out. "Everyone is dead?!"

"What?!" Sayu freaked out and then shook her hands. "I worded that wrong, I apologize. What I meant to say is that the Whitebeard pirates have disbanded. Some of them are working with my father from what he tells me...my father took care of Whitebeard's burial as well. We can go visit it sometime if you wish."

Ace's head slowly fell onto Sayu's lap, and then...he just broke. Portgas D. Ace, cried on Sayu's lap and everyone watched with different expressions. Sayu gently petted Ace's head slowly as he let all his tears out. "POPS!" Ace screamed out in agony and the other's winced.

"...Ace..." Sayu mumbled and gently put her head on Ace's in comfort. "Stop crying...please..."

But Ace didn't stop, he had so much emotion bottled up that he just let out. His execution...his father dying...the world finding out he was Gold Roger's son...and finally seeing that terrified look on Luffy's face as he died in his own brother's arms.

Law looked at the two and then ushered his crew mates out of the room. He'll let Mr. Fire Fist have this moment...just once. Law knows how it feels to lose your entire family in one day, so he gets it just a little. "Sayu will handle this..." He told Ryu and Jean Bart and then closed the door behind himself leaving the two in the med bay.


Trinity Sayu

"Ace..." Sayu was sniffling as she rubbed her head against Ace's. His crying had made her start to cry as well. He was in so much pain.

"Sayu...pops is...pops..." Ace stumbled over his words as he continued to cry.

Sayu held him tightly and shook her head. "Stop...it's okay...he did everything he could...so you could have a fighting chance to live on..."

Ace's sobs died down slowly but he didn't move his head from her lap. "Sayu...what happened? I'm sure...I died."

Sayu gave him a gentle smile that he couldn't see. "A miracle...I had this master who was married to witch...her name was Lady Miri. She gave me this crystal a few months back when I went through an adventure. I didn't know what it was for...she only said that it would come in handy when I needed it the most...Ace. The crystal is in you. You're alive because that crystal is acting as your heart right now."

Ace's breath got caught in his throat and then he slowly pulled away from her. He looked her in her eyes with a fierce look. "...You saved me...but didn't bother to save Pops?"

Sayu was shocked at his statement and his angry look. "...Ace...I..."

"You could've saved Pops but you didn't! Why did you save me?! Pops should've been able to live, not me! I should've never been born in the first place!" Ace screamed at her and Sayu was at a lost for words.

"I...I don't...Ace...I..." She tried to touch him but he smacked her hand away again.

"If anyone deserved to live, it should've been Pops, not me!" Ace was now putting all his anger on Sayu and she didn't know what to do.

"Ace, please. Listen to me-"

"No! Why would you even think I deserve to live?!"

"Ace-"

"Pops should've been bought back to life! Not me! I don't want this if Pops isn't alive!"

"I didn't-"

"Take it out!"

Sayu was stunned and thought she heard him incorrectly. "...Take...take it out...?"

Ace glared at her. "The crystal! Take your hex crystal out of me and rid me of this world and bring Pops back to life!"

"ACE!" Sayu slapped him across his face and Ace froze and then cupped his cheek. "Idiot!" Sayu glared at him with tears in her eyes. "Whitebeard is dead! He died so you can live on! And now you want to dishonor him by going to your death anyway?! You're selfish! You're selfish as fuck! My master told me that I was being selfish by wishing for death as well and I didn't understand it at the time! Now I do! You're doing the same thing I wanted to do! Wishing for death because you lost your father! But you have Luffy! Luffy is alive! Marco is alive! Thatch is alive! I'm alive! We all care about you! Luffy made us promise to take care of you and if you want to wish for a quick death, how could I ever face my friend and tell him that?!"

Ace stared at her with sad eyes. "...But...pops...and...I'm Gold Rogers son...who would want me to live?"

Sayu put her fist to his head and then rubbed them harshly. Ace shuddered in pain and she glared at him. "WE WANT YOU TO LIVE YOU ASSHOLE!" She screamed at him. "Get it through your head that you did deserve to be born! Who cares if you're Gold Rogers son?! The Navy?! We're pirates, we don't give a damn about the Navy's opinion! Luffy wants you to live...I want you to live! And that's what you're going to do! You're going to live your life! You're going to grow up, find love, get married, have twenty kids and die of old age! And I'm going to make sure it happens! Even if I have to marry you myself to see it happen!" Sayu said that on impulse but it made Ace look at her in awe. "You're going to live...and be happy being alive!"

"...Sayu..."

Sayu grabbed his shoulders and pulled his face closer to hers. "You got that, Ace?! I won't let you die! Never again! Understand?! Jashin-sama won't have you anytime soon!"

Ace tilted his head in confusion. "Uh..."

"And you're going to start living again, by helping me with Law's one hundred Heart Challenge!" She shouted into his face with extreme vigor.

"...One hundred...heart challenge...?" Ace muttered still confused on her ramblings. "Sayu..." Ace stared at Sayu's face with an unreadable expression.

Sayu was still holding onto Ace by his shoulders. "You have to stay with us, Ace! I don't know how many people saw the miracle that happened, but most of the world probably thinks you're dead. Luffy, Law and I agreed it would be better for you to stay here with us. We're gonna make sure you can recover safely, okay?"

Ace gently grabbed Sayu's hands and then held them between the two. "Sayu...I'm sorry..."

Sayu blushed and shook her head. "It's okay! Law yells at me a lot when I do stupid stuff, so it's really no biggie! I'm use to his yelling so when someone else does it, it doesn't bother me too much! And I mean, I try not to let it bother me! If my father yells at me, I get a little upset but it's not as bad as when Law is disappointed! And then-"

Ace cut off her ramblings with his lips. Sayu froze as Ace kissed her and neither moved from their spot. After a few seconds, Ace pulled away, looked her in her eyes and spoke. "I love you, Sayu."

Sayu's face exploded with red just as the door was kicked open and Law marched in with hell hath fury face.

The rest of the Heart Pirates were gathered at the door with red faces as they watched everything go down. Everyone had been eavesdropping on Sayu and Ace's screaming match.

Law grabbed Sayu by her arm and lifted her up off the ground and into his arms.

"Uhhh..." Sayu mumbled dumbfounded with her face still flaming red.

Law glared harshly at the man still on the floor. "Listen well, Mr. Fire Fist." Law squeezed Sayu's waist tightly to the point that it made her wince slightly. "This one is mine. You should learn to not touch other's things. You may lose your hands next time."

"Ummm..." Sayu cut off Law. "...I think...we should forget this happened...and go back to planning the...One hundred Heart Challenge..."

Law and Ace were glaring intensely at each other while everyone else looked around with nervousness.

"Okaa-san, Otou-san..."

All the pirates turned to see Orochi behind the rest of them. Sayu pulled away from Law and went to Orochi and picked him up. "Orochi..."

"Mother?! Father?!" Ace looked at the child in bewilderment. He didn't look like either Sayu or Law but he was calling them both mom and dad. It threw him for a loop.

Law smirked and looked back at Ace. He would use this to his advantage. "Ah, yes. Sayu and I have a child. How do you feel about that, Mr. Fire Fist?"

Orochi studied the man with with freckles carefully. "...He seems very cretinous to infer that he has probability to ascertain affections from Okaa-san."

Law nodded his head towards the child with a grin. "You heard him."

Ace scratched his head. "I heard him but I could barely understand him..."

Sayu sighed and walked out of the med bay, leaving the idiots to themselves. "Come on Orochi. We need to start making news letters for Law's one hundred Heart challenge to send all over the Grand Line. You can help me with them!" Sayu squeezed Orochi tightly and smiled. "I need to forget about all this right now anyway."

Once Sayu left, the rest of the Heart Pirates turned to Ace and Law.

Law was glaring at Ace with a fierce look in his eyes. "Mr. Fire Fist...let's talk."
