Trafalgar Law
Law was glaring at Ace and the latter was doing the same. It wasn't an awkward silence, more so of an intense silence.
"You don't love her."
Ace looked at the Captain with a firm face. "I do."
"No you don't. And even if you feel as if you do, she's not yours. She belongs to me and me alone." Law stood up from his seat and Ace did the same. They came face to face with both showing intimidating looks. If someone else had entered the med bay, they would've walked out instantly with the heavy aura in the air.
"I won't give up...Sayu bought me back to life. She cares about me too, just as much as she cares about you." Ace said and that line just made Law even more upset.
"You're getting very brazen, Mr. Fire Fist. To be expected coming from you though...you and your brother never take no as an answer..." Law turned away from him and grabbed Ace's charts. "I wonder how your insides look now that you've returned from the land of the dead." Law smirked sadistically and glanced at him.
Ace didn't flinch from his gaze. "You wouldn't do anything that would upset her."
"You have a point in that...however...she is simple minded. The quick answer would be that I'm making sure your body is stable and you can't been seen at the moment...at least until you realize that you can't touch her." Law flipped through the pages casually as if he wasn't threatening the man next to him.
"...I love her, I do. And I'm going to be the one to take her away from here. You're controlling, manipulative, and kinda on the crazy side. Nothing you do is going to make me back up in fear." Ace was adamant in his pursuing of Sayu. "If my family is disbanded...then she and Luffy are all I have left. I won't lose either of the two...not again."
Law glanced up at Ace with a blank face. "And she's all I have. I won't give her up...even if she wanted to leave, I wouldn't let her ever escape me." Not again, not since he lost Cora-san. He's not going to lose her next. All the others don't matter to Law, only Sayu does even if she doesn't realize it herself. Law is extremely possessive of her and everyone knows that.
"I guess we're at war then..." Ace muttered with his fist clenched, then he glared at Law. "I'll win her-" Ace collapsed on the floor, face first.
Law stared at his body and then kicked it with his shoe. 'Is he dead...?' Law thought this over while glancing over his form. Then...he heard it. Snoring. Sayu did say he suffered from narcolepsy episodes. "...I'll just leave you there for now." Law said and left the room, leaving Ace sleeping on the cold floor.
Trinity Sayu
Everyone else was gathered in the mess hall for dinner. Bepo and Sayu were sitting at the table, looking over the map currently.
"It's this way, isn't it?" Sayu pointed to a spot on the map that she and Bepo were looking over.
Bepo shook his head and pointed to a spot opposite of hers. "No, I think it's this way."
"Impossible, that's where the calm belt heads off towards Halacose Country. It can't be there, it's gotta be around here some where." Sayu turned the map around to look at it upside down. "I don't understand, it has to be here, but there's nothing there!"
"That's what I'm telling you Sayu. It's not there, it's off the calm belt closer to the South Blue border." Bepo said and took the map from her.
Sayu let out a huff and crossed her arms. "I may not be map savvy but I can at least tell which way something is! I know my north, west, south and east okay? I'm not that stupid."
"Then why were you holding it upside down?" He asked her with a cute look on his furry face.
Sayu turned red and stomped her foot once. "Because!"
Bepo waited a moment for her to continue but she just kept looking angry and pouting. "...Because...?"
"I think I need glasses!" Sayu whispered shouted with a red face. "I stare at computers and monitors most of my life and time and I feel like it's catching up with me! I use to play games all the time too and I'm regretting it now! I can't even find where Rocky Point is right now!"
"...You need glasses...?" Bepo asked her curiously and then went back to looking over the map.
Sayu nodded with an embarrassed face. "Things have been blurry lately..."
"That's odd." Bepo muttered. "You're usually on spot when aiming, nothing seemed out of the ordinary that I've seen."
"Maybe I'm getting sick then...I don't know...I'll ask Law to check me out later. I have been working a lot these past two weeks. It's been a hard few days..." Sayu shook the thought out her head. She couldn't afford to get sick now, too much work to be done. Once it's all over, she needs a vacation.
"I honestly don't think you need glasses, but maybe ask the Captain. Anyway, Rocky Point is on the border of the South Blue sea. It sits right in between that sea and the calm belt. That's what I've been trying to show you. See?" Bepo pointed to a singular rock island on the map. "From here, I'd have to say that's about a week and a half worth's of travel."
"Oi, move that shit off the table. Dinner is ready." Ryu said to the two and they looked at each other and let out a consecutive sigh.
Bepo moved all the maps and log poses off the table as everyone sat down, ready for dinner.
"What's on the menu tonight, Kurokoto-san?" Haken asked as he took his seat next to Sayu.
Ryu bought out a huge dish. "Tonight is pan seared sea king belly. I've thrown some side dishes in as well."
Orochi hopped up onto Sayu's lap and she smiled and patted his head. "Sea King is high in proteins and on my delectable palate for consumption."
Shachi looked at Penguin with a confused look. "Palate?"
Penguin shrugged his shoulders as he and the rest of the crew could never understand Orochi at all most of the times. "I don't know man."
Sayu giggled softly as she cuddled the little boy. "He means to say, he likes to eat sea king."
"Ah. Why didn't you say that then, Orochi?" Yuki looked over to the small boy as he and Yuri sat down in their seats.
Orochi gave them a smirk. "Words of simplicity for your sake are not in my vocabulary. It's not my problem if you cannot comprehend my speech. Pick up a book and allow your intellect to expand it's horizons. Maybe then your feeble minds will ascend to my level."
Yuri glared at the boy and pointed his fork at him. "So basically you just insulted us and called us stupid!"
Orochi glanced over to the purple eyed twin and clapped his hands slowly. "Congratulations on your optimal conclusion. Shall I hand over a star for a good job?"
Yuri gritted his teeth and started to argue with the four year old genius. "You know what, you were much cuter when you couldn't speak!"
"And you were still below eighty five percent of the IQ intelligence level even back then. Hopefully by hovering around my space, maybe some of my intelligence could rub off on you. Good luck with that, Yuri-san." Orochi gave him a cute smile.
"Why I oughta-"
"Pick up a book as I suggested? Maybe then you would know to pronounce your words and not terrible acronyms and slang that don't go to the human language. Really, Yuri-san? 'Oughta' is not in the dictionary, even I know that. Ought is in the dictionary but not 'oughta'." Yuri's face turned red as Orochi continued to outsmart him.
Sayu chuckled nervously and put her hands up. "Now now, let's calm down. Orochi's IQ is in the two hundreds, close to Law's so I wouldn't try to argue with him guys."
Orochi looked smug as Yuri sat back in his seat with his twin trying to comfort him.
"It's okay Yuri, just calm down..." Yuki patted his brother's back, trying to get him to ignore the fact that he just lost to a four year old.
"Quit teasing them, Orochi." Law said as he walked into the room and towards his seat at the head of the table.
Orochi looked down peeved that his Otou-san had scolded him again. "...Sorry..."
Sayu looked next to her at Law. "Where's Ace?"
"Narcoleptic fit." He said as he grabbed his mug.
Sayu nodded in understanding. "He'll wake up in a little bit then. What did you guys talk about?"
Law looked at his first mate with a smirk and reached over and patted her head. Sayu's face turned into a smile as he did this. "Nothing serious. Just wanted to see how he was doing after all that happened."
"Is that so? You're so nice, Law! I thought you hated Ace." Sayu grinned and Law grinned back at her. Little flowers and imaginary hearts floated in the air around the two.
"I do hate him, with every fiber in my body Ms. Mechanic." The flowers and hearts broke and dropped to the ground at Law's statement and the crew chuckled at his bluntness.
Sayu's grin dropped into a shocked look as he said that so bluntly with his own grin. "B-But he's Luffy's brother...you like Luffy though!"
"That doesn't mean I have to like the guy who's trying to take your affections away from me." Law said and then he looked over to his crew. "Now listen up. We need to go over the plan." Law grabbed his plate and fixed himself first as everyone waited for him to finish before getting their own.
"So what is the plan?" Jean Bart asked Law once he finished setting up his plate.
"As Sayu calls it-"
"The Law's One Hundred Heart Challenge!" Sayu cut in.
"Yes, that. It's as the title states. I'm going to collect one hundred pirate hearts in one day and then turn them over to the Navy." Law chewed on his food as the crew looked at him with different looks.
"Okay...and why are we doing this?" Shachi asked.
Swallowing his food, Law spoke. "I need to become a Shichibukai."
"EHH?!" The crew looked at their Captain with shocked looks.
"Captain!" Penguin stood up from his seat. "If you become a Shichibukai, we won't have as much freedom as before on the seas. You'll be called away to Navy HQ all the time and then what? You won't even be able to associate yourself with us!"
"I don't want to be associated with the Navy at all, Captain-san." Haken spoke with a dark look on his face. "The Navy is worse then most of us pirates if you ask me..."
"Oi, if the Captain wants to do this, we can't stop him." Ryu butted in, while looking at Haken. "He's got some plan, obviously...right Captain?" The cook looked over to his Captain.
Law nodded. "I don't plan on keeping the title forever. The system is messed up from most Shichibukai's views. From what Hancock and Hawk eyes have briefly stated. But this is important in my long term goal."
"For One Piece?" Yuki asked.
Law chewed his food slowly and Sayu looked a little nervous. Besides her and Law, the crew didn't really know Law's true objective. Personally Sayu thinks Law couldn't care one bit about One Piece. If he finds it, then so be it. But Law's true objective...is the destruction of Donquixote Doflamingo. "Yes, for One Piece. It's crucial I become a Shichibukai for the next step." Law said to ease the crew.
Sayu vaguely wonders what they're going to do once Doflamingo and Kaido are defeated. Would they still be the Heart Pirates...or maybe join Luffy's pirate fleet? Although that's like two years away from now, but who knows? "We're going to Rocky Point." Sayu announced and everyone looked at her. "Before we depart Sabaody again, I want the twins to go to Grove forty five."
Yuri looked at her with a mouth full of food. "What's in Grove forty five?"
"A mail system. Grove forty thru forty nine are the tourist zone. There's a mail carrier in grove forty five. I need you two to drop off these letters. They'll be sent out all over thru the Grand Line. The prisoners from Impel Down are notorious pirates and some managed to get free after Luffy's break in. And then some pirates crews are bound to come as well. Only the dumb ones will actually come but that'll be enough." Sayu explained as she and Orochi ate off their shared plate.
"Well...what are we doing on Rocky Point?" Bepo questioned and Sayu smirked.
"We're throwing a party. A pirate party. It's going to be so much fun..." Sayu giggled as she thought about her poorly thought out plan. "And we're going to set it up at Rocky Point. I expect marine interference, but it's nothing we can't handle. And then...whoosh! Law can grab his one hundred hearts in one go. Simple, right?" She smiled and everyone looked at her with shaky smiles.
Shachi scratched his head with a nervous look and then pushed his plate around. "Um...I don't know if it'll be that easy. That's a hundred hearts in one day. I mean, I believe the Captain can do it, but how exactly though?"
Sayu gave him a grin. "Nothing to worry about! We got this!" She threw a thumbs up and everyone winced. The nothing to worry about line is usually never good. Rocky Point is obviously going to be an exciting one day adventure.
"It's set then. After dinner, make sure you drop off those letters and then come back." Law looked at the twins who nodded. "And then we'll depart immediately for Rocky Point."
"Sayu!" Ace busted into the kitchen and his eyes zeroed in on the red head.
"Ah, Ace. You're up!" Sayu looked at him as he came over to her and Law glared at the man with hatred in his eyes.
"Sayu, I don't have my devil fruit powers anymore!" Ace shot out his fist as to show her, and not a lick of flame came out.
Sayu hummed and looked at him. "That was probably to be expected. You did die after all. And once you die, your devil fruit is gone and appears elsewhere. Guess you're not Fire Fist Ace any longer. Sorry Ace." Sayu looked at him with an apologetic look.
Ace looked down with sadness written all over his cute freckle face and Sayu squealed at how adorable he looked even while sad. "...My fire fist..."
"Ace, we could find it again. That is if no one has eaten it yet." She said with a happy look. She already knew where his fruit would appear again.
Ace looked at her with a grin. "Really?"
Sayu nodded rapidly. "Yep! But it will have to wait. We have a mission to do in the next two weeks for Law." Sayu looked to her best friend who looked smug.
Ace looked a little put out but accepted the answer. "Alright then." He leaned over and kissed Sayu on her cheek gently. "I'll wait and then we can go look for it together."
Everyone looked at Ace in shock. The man had the balls to kiss Sayu in front of the Captain!
"Oi, oi, you're going to dieeeeee..." Shachi whispered to the man while pointing at Law.
Law stood up from his seat and grabbed Ace, pulling him away from a red faced Sayu. "What have a told you about touching things that don't belong to you, Mr. Fire Fist?" Law squeezed Ace's wrist and the two glared at each other.
Sayu buried her face into Orochi's hair who was still calmly eating his dinner. "Why does everyone want to start kissing me all of a sudden?"
"Because you're irresistible, Sayu-chan!" Penguin shouted and slammed his fist on the table. "You have Fire Fist, Black Leg and the Captain wrapped around your finger! How could you not notice?!"
Haken looked over at the two males that we're having a glare off while sipping his tea. "She has that cute aura that guys love if you ask me."
Ryu scoffed and looked away. "You think someone like our Captain would have higher expectations then the shrimp."
Sayu nodded her head to the cook. "That's what I've been saying! Law needs a goddess, not me!"
Haken glared at the cook. "What are you saying about the little soldier, Kurokoto-san?"
"Hmph." Ryu glared at his crew mate. "I'm just saying...look at her. She may be book smart, but when it comes to feelings, she's as dumb as they come. Even worse then Straw Hat if you ask me..."
Sayu nodded. "I agree wholeheartedly."
"You aren't suppose to agree when someone insults you!" The twins shouted at her and she looked a little sheepish.
Bepo looked at Haken as he aura got darker. "Um...Haken...please calm down."
"I've told you time and time again to watch your tongue when you talk about the little soldier. You don't learn, do you?" Haken said with a disgusted expression.
Ryu gave a smirk to the cowboy. "Guess I never do..."
Orochi looked at his father and the freckled man. They were still having their death stare at each other. And now it looked like Ryu-san and Haken-san were about to throw their fist at each other as well. How exciting to spectate all of this.
"I'm going to take my leave...the animosity is a bit much for me." Jean Bart took his plate and exited the room.
"I've got eighty on Haken." Shachi said to Penguin while putting some beli on the table.
"Then I'll raise you one hundred for Ryu." Penguin slapped some beli on top of Shachi's.
The twins were looking at their Captain and Ace and then to the cook and cowboy. Finally they looked at each other and nodded. "We'll head out now." They both spoke and stood up.
"Ah, the letters are in the chill room if you want to grab them. There should be about four hundred of them. I'm pretty sure they're all there so you're good to go." Sayu said to the twins as they nodded and left.
Crack!
"AGH!"
Law had broken Ace's wrist, and it caused the rest of the crew to look at the two.
"Ace!" Sayu shouted at him and she carefully moved Orochi off her lap and then went over to the two. "Stop it Law!"
Law turned his gaze onto his mechanic. "Don't order me around."
Sayu shivered and held up her hands in surrender. "Okay, I'm sorry. Just please don't hurt Ace anymore. Please Law."
Ace winced and yanked his hand away and held his wrist. "What the hell man?"
Law gave him a calm smile. "You're lucky it was only your wrist this time."
Sayu went over to Ace and held his wrist gently. "You'll be fine. It's not that bad..." She pulled his hand up and Ace jumped back from her.
"Sayu, that hurts!" Ace frowned and Sayu chuckled.
"My bad, my bad. That's the way Law taught me." Pulling out some wraps from her pocket, she started to wrap up his wrist, Ace wincing every time she touched it.
"He's teaching her his sadistic ways too." Shachi whispered to his friend.
Penguin nodded and whispered back. "I don't even think she realizes that doctors aren't actually suppose to hurt their patients when fixing them up..."
"Ah. Food!" Ace looked over to the table with their dinner meal set out and started to drool.
Ryu said and pulled back the chair next to him. "Well, sit down and eat, you idiot."
Never one to deny food, Ace rushed over and grabbed a plate and started eating like a wild pig.
Orochi looked at the man in disgust. "How revolting..."
Ace looked up to the child with a curious look. "So what's your name?"
"If you must know, Otou-san has bestowed upon me the name of Orochi. I had no previous name before that. And you are Portgas D. Ace, son of Gold Rogers." Orochi said with his blank stare.
Sayu looked at the two with a sweat drop lingering on her head. "Ah...that's not going to go well..."
Bepo stood up from his seat to toss his plate. "I'm done."
Law looked over to his navigator. "Start planning out our course for Rocky Point and be ready to depart for when the twins get back."
"Understood Captain." Bepo grabbed his maps and tools and left the room.
"So, Kurokoto-san. I think we need to set the bar straight as of now." Haken said and everyone looked at him. "Honestly, your constant disrespect of the little soldier has always grated on my nerves. I think now would be a good time to finally put you in your place."
"Oh? Are you challenging me...mercenary?" Ryu stood up from his seat and opened his trench coat revealing his massive heavy set chains around his body. "I'm ready anytime, anyplace."
Haken stood up and tipped his hat to Ryu with a cocky smirk. "It won't be much of a challenge...we already know who the better is, Kurokoto-san. And when I win, you'll have to start calling the little soldier what she actually is."
"And what's that?"
Haken gave a cutesy smile. "A beautiful butterfly."
Ryu glared at the cowboy and slammed his hand down on the table. "You're so on."
Law glared at the two idiots. "Be quiet."
Ryu and Haken both sent each other nasty looks but sat back down quietly.
"Why'd you stop them, Law?" Sayu went back to Orochi and sat down in her seat putting him back on her lap.
Law sat down in his seat and glared at the freckled man eating with his crew. He ignored Sayu's question as he was thinking of ways to dissect the fool across from him.
Sayu sighed and looked down at Orochi. "Orochi, it's time for you to head to bed. Law says a growing boy needs a lot of sleep to get bigger!" She grinned at the cute child.
Orochi glanced up at his mother with his snake eyes blinking at her in thought. "Hm...I guess my brain does require adequate amounts of sleep for maximum use..."
Shachi and Penguin sweat dropped as Ace just stared at the kid in bewilderment. "What is he saying?" Ace asked as he tried to figure out some of his words.
Orochi nodded to himself and then got out of Sayu's lap. "Okay, I'm ready Okaa-san." He gave her an innocent smile that made Sayu squeal.
"You're so cute, Orochi! It's too much!" She said in english as she picked him up. Coming up on Law's side, she stopped by him and stared at him. He was still glaring at Ace with fire in his eyes. Sayu let out a sigh and bit her lip.
Orochi looked up at Sayu as she was thinking. He let out a grin wondering what his mother was about to do.
Sayu took a deep breath, shrugged her shoulders and then leaned over Law and gave him a quick and bird like peck on his ear.
Everyone froze and then Law slowly turned back to look at her. She had pulled away quickly, it didn't last for more than a second, but she had actually initiated a somewhat of awkward and weird like kiss...on his ear. Her face was red as a cherry and she wasn't making eye contact with him.
Orochi giggled at his mother's look. Her face was so funny right now to him.
"...Please be nice to Ace..." She mumbled and then walked out.
Trafalgar Law
Law watched his first mate leave the room with their so called child. His eyes stayed on the door way for a minute or two.
"You owe me two hundred beli."
Law looked back to see his engineers passing beli back and forth.
Ace was clenching his fork with his non broken hand and had a slight frown on his face.
Penguin slid the two hundred beli into Shachi's hand with a sigh. "That's what I get for betting on Sayu. She always does the unexpected...and I thought I had her figured out."
"What are you idiots talking about?" Ryu questioned the two.
Shachi grinned. "Well Penguin bet me that Sayu wouldn't be able to give a kiss to the Captain for at least three months after his confession. I said it would take less than that." Shachi counted his beli with a smug look.
Law looked at his subordinates with a frown. "My life is a game to you?"
Shachi and Penguin looked at each other in horror and then quickly stood up. "No Captain, we're sorry! We're so very sorry!"
Law ignored his idiotic crew mates and reached back to lightly touch his ear. He didn't think she had it in her. He actually thought it would take her a while to start initiating contact. Law smirked as he glanced over at Fire Fist. "Guess this won't be too hard, huh...Mr. Fire Fist?"
Ace glared at the man. "I'm not giving up."
Haken was now glaring at the engineers. "Stop betting on the little soldiers love life."
"You guys are complete idiots." Ryu muttered and shook his head.
Trinity Sayu
"And how long did you say it would take?" Sayu questioned the bear.
"A week if we make no stops if we're in a hurry." Bepo said while smoothing over his map.
Sayu nodded her head and looked over his shoulder. "Okay. I set out the date for two weeks from today. So that'll give me time to prepare everything. Awesome! As soon as the twins get back, please set sail Bepo!"
"Okay Sayu. I think Jean Bart is on watch tonight."
"Oh good, we'll be alright then while we sail." Sayu grinned and went to the control panel. "I'm wondering if we should just dive for the whole journey. But I know everyone else likes air once in a while." She was speaking mainly to herself while looking over her work. "Will you be alright to finish up here?" She looked back at Bepo who nodded. "Great, I'm gonna head to bed then. I've been up since early this morning." Sayu stretched and yawned. "Planning is too much brain work. I'm more of a go with the flow type of person."
"Mnh. Night Sayu."
"Night Bepo."
Sayu took her leave and went to her room first to check on Orochi. For some reason he wanted to sleep in his room with his snakes tonight. Peaking open the door, Sayu looked inside and saw him asleep on top of snakes on the floor. The snakes lifted their heads up at Sayu but didn't move. Sayu glanced at them and then quickly closed the door. She likes Orochi but his snakes are still a work in process for her. But besides his snakes, Orochi is the cutest and sweetest child Sayu's ever met!
"Ah, you're here."
Sayu had made it to Law's room while thinking about how cute Orochi is and didn't even realize it. "Law!" She grinned as she always does when seeing him.
Law was sitting at his desk reading one of his medical books. "Ready for bed already?" He asked her and she nodded. Moving over to the dresser, she pulled it open and looked through it. "I feel like I wanna wear a gown...but I've got this cute onesie with our jolly roger all over it!" Sayu pulled out the yellow onesie and showed it to Law. "Haken made it for me! He's like an overpowered butler! Almost like Sebastian!"
Law glanced over the childish pajama and sighed. Closing his book he placed it down and started to take off his hoodie. Once off, he tossed it at her. "Wear that tonight."
Sayu caught the hoodie and then looked at him. "...Why?"
Law stood up and stretched, then made his way to his bathroom. "It wasn't a suggestion, just wear it." Entering the bathroom, he left her to get dressed.
Sayu took her clothes off as Law was in the bathroom and put the hoodie on. She sniffed it once and then sighed happily. It smelled just like Law, and that was comforting to her. "Decent!" She called out to him as she ran to the bed and jumped on it.
Law came from the bathroom with just his blue boxers on and had left his jeans in the bathroom. "No Orochi tonight?" He asked as he picked up Sayu's clothes off the floor.
"Nope! He wanted to sleep in his own room tonight...I guess I'll cuddle with the stuffed bunny tonight." Sayu fell back into the bed and grabbed the rabbit. "I've got a question by the way."
"What is it?" Law tossed her clothes into the bathroom. The two would pick them up in the morning.
"Well...its not a dumb idea, I think." Law inwardly groaned, never a good way to start off a conversation coming from Sayu. "After the One Hundred Heart Challenge is over and done with...well...I was wondering..." Sayu twiddled with her fingers as she was a little nervous to bring this thought up to him.
Law turned off the lights, leaving them in complete darkness and got into bed next to her. "Go on..."
"...Well...I've thought about this since we first meet...well really it was like a little bit after we met, but...when I finish building the new mini plane...um..." She was really nervous, Law could tell. He was paying close attention to her that neither saw their door open up quietly. "I was thinking...that maybe...we could...um..."
Someone was moving quietly in their room and Law heard the feet trying to tiptoe. "Hold that thought." He interrupted Sayu and then let out a deep and aggravated sigh. Law ran a hand down his face and turned over. "Mr. Fire Fist...get the hell out of here."
A whimper was heard in the dark. "...You guys sleep in the same bed now?" Law grabbed Sayu's rabbit and threw it at where Ace was and a smack was heard followed by a thud. "I'm going! I'm going! Jeez!" Ace pulled himself out of the room and back to the med bay where he was currently staying.
Law quickly got up and locked the door. "You always forget to lock it." He muttered to her as he got back into the bed. "Now what is it that you want?"
Sayu shook her head. "It wasn't important! Really!" She changed her mind about asking to go to Flevance. She knows it isn't easy to bring up so maybe she should wait just a little bit longer before asking.
Law stared at her with a knowing look. He's not dumb and he knows what she wants. "I don't know why you want to go there."
"Go where?"
"To Flevance."
"To who?"
Law frowned slightly and turned over to face her. "You already know what happened there. Are you trying to go for me? Thinking I need closure or something? I've long since come to terms with my childhood."
Sayu looked at Law with a nervous look. "I just want to get a feel for the town you were born in."
Law closed his eyes gently as the thought ran threw his head. "I'll think about it."
"I can find it by myself." Sayu muttered and Law put his arm around her and pulled her against his chest.
"I wouldn't even let you, you'd get lost in a heart beat if you didn't have me or Bepo with you." Law put his head on hers and relaxed his body. "By the way, you need to work on your skills."
"My skills?" Sayu mumbled with a confused face.
"Your affection skills, that was a terrible kiss even for you...I'll give you lots of practice though. So I can assume that the weak kiss from earlier is a sign that you're finally accepting my affections?"
Sayu blushed and scratched her cheek. "I only did that so you wouldn't keep being mean to Ace. He's my friend Law and I like him. Please don't scare my friends off. You don't see me scaring Luffy off when he's around."
"Mr. Straw Hat is not my friend! How many times do I have to say that?" Law will never associate Luffy as a friend. That's too much even for him.
Sayu looked away slowly and then turned back to Law. "You're my friend, I don't know if I even like you like you like me. It's a little awkward if you ask me."
Law blew out air into her face and Sayu winced as he blew it in her eyes. "You do. I'm not stupid, I don't know why you think I'm stupid."
"You...you can't tell me how I feel Law. That's just...impossible." She blushed as Law leaned in closer to her.
Law grabbed her face and kissed her roughly. Sayu was frozen again and Law pulled away from her. "Sayu, focus." He pulled her cheek slightly and she moved again.
"Sorry. It's just they always leave me breathless and confused." She whispered with a red face.
"Idiot, you've never had guy in your life, have you? You're too innocent." Law leaned in and kissed her once more, and this time Sayu gently kissed back. Law's mouth formed a smirk and he pressed into her deeper making her squeak. After a minute, he pulled back and studied Sayu's flushed face. "I can feel your heart beating Sayu."
"Well duh! What'd you expect? You're getting me hot and bothered!" Sayu whispered and Law chuckled. He squeezed her close and patted her head.
"Go to sleep. We've got a whole week till we get to Rocky Point." He closed his eyes and so did Sayu. But then they both heard the door handle jiggling.
"Go to sleep, Ace!" They both shouted at him and they heard curses outside the door and then footsteps.
"He's so weird, but I like him all the same." Sayu grinned. "You know he said he had a dream about me and having kids."
Law shoved her face into the pillow. "Go to sleep!" Like he wanted to hear that.
