All around the Grand Line, letters were being dropped from the sky. Addressed to pirates in the areas about a Pirate Party Bash, hosted by the Heart Pirates. The Heart Pirates were somewhat famous now that the world knew that Red Haired Shank's daughter was their first mate. So any decent pirate has at least heard about them...and any decent marine. A Pirate Party Bash would be held a week from now on Rocky Point and anyone who is anyone would be showing up. That's at least what Sayu hopes is going to happen.


Trinity Sayu

"Bepo! Be careful! Ah, Ace, move that this way! Shachi what are you doing with those boards?!" Sayu and the rest of the Heart Pirates were on their second day of working on Rocky Point, putting Sayu's grand party together.

Law meanwhile was in the sub taking a day to himself. Sayu was pissed that he wasn't helping but what could she do? He's the Captain after all. And being the nice best friend that she is, she even foolishly said for him to relax once in a while. And he takes the first and second days they're on Rocky Point to do it.

"Sayu-chan, where do you want this?" Penguin asked as he carried a box full of streamers.

"Leave those for Ryu to put up, he can do it easily with the way we've seen him play with his chains like jump ropes." Sayu looked over to the cook who was in the process of bringing back food from the only town on Rocky Point.

"Where will this go?" Jean Bart was carrying a giant stack of planks in both arms.

Sayu looked around the area. It was a rocky land, as the name suggests which made it difficult for Sayu to actually have the town looking like she wanted it to. I mean it's going to go up in flames in the end but it's the thought that counts. The citizens should frankly be happy that Sayu is hosting her and Law's party there. It's nothing but brown and gray and so bland. A little color will make the place look good...or maybe just some black and red. "Take it to the town, Jean Bart. I'm going to set it up when I get there."

"Got it."

"Sayu! Sayu!"

She turned around hearing her name being called by the twins. They came rushing up to her with some papers in their hands.

Yuki gave her a cute smile and showed her his papers. "We want to try this song out."

Sayu took the lyrics from them and looked it over. Her eyes twinkled as she recognized it instantly. "Kyahhhhh, you've guys have chosen a good one! I've never heard it in a duet either! This was the featured song for Gin-san in his movie 'The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya'. Jashin, I love that movie." Sayu grinned and handed the papers back to the Yuki. "It's perfect! I'm going to need one more just in case. You guys are going to be the signal for Law to start his Grand Operation Phase. I'll need one more song so we get at least five minutes for him to do it."

Yuri handed her his papers. "We've already thought of that and here's the next one."

She looked over these lyrics and nearly fell to her knees as they got weak. "Gahhhhh! You're trying to kill me! I freaking love Odd Future!" She made a motion of pretending to sing and jumped around. "One of the best songs ever!" Stopping her shenanigans, she looked back to the twins. "You guys have really good taste. Or maybe it's just the fan girl in me."

"Well, we know a good song when we hear it." Yuri nodded to himself and Yuki grinned.

"We'll be practicing in the lounge if you need us."

"It's called the chill room!" Sayu pouted and the twins grinned and left her. "Those guys..."

"Ah, Sayu. I've got the towns people gathered like you asked." Bepo and Haken came up to Sayu with the sixty or so citizens following the talking bear with scared looked on their faces. Most of the women were following Haken in a heart eyed daze.

"Oh good, thank you Bepo." Sayu moved past Bepo and next to Haken. "Haken, grab me the crate." She said to the cowboy.

Haken grabbed a crate and placed it in front of her, and helping her up on it. "There ya go, little soldier."

"Thank you!" Sayu brushed out her skirt and patted her hair. "Listen up citizens!" The citizens looked at Sayu with nervous looks. "I am Trinity Sayu and this island now belongs to the Heart Pirates!" Sayu turned back to Haken and pointed to their ship. "Bring me a flag!" She whisper shouted at him and he nodded and ran into the sub. Turning back to the citizens, she addressed them. "I am hosting a party here in a few days! And you will all stay in doors the night of the party. There will be other pirates not as nice as myself and they will surely try to kill you."

Bepo sweat dropped hearing her words from where he was working.

Some of the citizen's gasped and whispered among themselves. "Are we going to die?"

Sayu waved off their worries. "There's nothing to worry about, this island now belongs to us and you will accept that. And so will the other pirates that come here! If not then those pirates will lose their heads, with my bare hands!" Of course, she would never result to a fist fight, a gun fight yes, but what else would she say? Most of these people look like their already shitting their pants to her. "Now then, you will allow us the use of this town and for the future as well!" Sayu put her hands on her hips and nodded with a grin. "Yep, Heart Pirate territory now!"

"Someone should call the Navy...I think she's crazy..."

"I don't know what to do...I've got kids...I don't want to die."

"Are we just suppose to accept this?"

The citizens murmured among themselves as Haken came back out with a yellow flag with their jolly roger on it.

"Oh awesome. Gimmie that!" Sayu took the flag pole from him and then promptly stabbed it into a rock formation next to her. The citizens looked at her in shock as she wiped her hands and rubbed her forehead like she had just accomplished a huge task. "Yosh! It's done!"

"YOU CAN'T JUST DECIDE LIKE THAT!" The citizens shouted at her and Sayu looked at them confused.

"But I already did it. You have to accept it now." She said with a bored tone. "It's not that bad, if anything we're very kind and rational people."

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY WAY!" Ryu kicked Penguin in the back and he was sent flying across the way and landed at the citizen's feet with a thud. They screamed in horror as they saw the blood rushing down his face. "Fucking idiot, dammit Penguin!" Ryu picked up his spilled box of streamers. "I'm already behind in my work and then you go and fucking crash into my shit."

Sayu dragged Penguins body slowly behind a rock and then left it there. Turning back to the horrified people, she continued her per swaying. "Like I said, we're usually kind and rational people. My cook just has anger issues sometimes."

"I don't have anger issues!" Ryu shouted at Sayu and she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Are you the Captain?" One citizen man spoke up with a hint of fear in his voice.

Sayu looked at him and shook her head. "Just the first mate, the Captain would be-"

"Me." Law was on the top deck of their sub and had full view of the crowd. He looked down upon the citizens like he was looking down at ants. And frankly it scared the shit out of some of those people.

"He looks scary..."

"Oi, that's the Surgeon of Death! I've seen his wanted poster! He's at 300,000,000 beli right now!"

"We're suppose to let them run around here with a Captain like that...?"

Sayu addressed the crowd. "He may look scary but he's really not that scary!"

Haken coughed and looked away. She was lying to these poor people.

"Now then, back to the town! I will need your help in some things as your town is piss poor to begin with." Sayu squeezed her way through the crowd. "We've got some seeds from Shirohana that could probably grow here if we build a green house. There's nothing but rocks and heat here, I don't know how you guys survive here..."

Some of the citizens looked at the girl in stunned silence. She would help them grow crops? That's not so bad of her...

"Onward people!" Sayu shouted to the crowd and made her way down the rocky path.


Trafalgar Law

Law didn't really care what she was doing. So long as he could have his plan succeed in the end, he didn't care if she was blatantly putting another island under their so called protection. Really it falls under Red Haired Pirate territory more than anything. She's just abusing her position if he had to guess.

"Penguinnnn! Don't die!" Shachi had Penguin's body in his arms and was tearing up at his best friend who was being over dramatic.

"Shachi...hide my stash for me...please..." Penguin muttered and let out a cough.

"Everyone knows about your porn stash sento soldier." Haken mentioned as he walked past the two and into the sub.

Penguin sat up quickly and looked horrified. "How?!"

Law sighed and shook his head at his crew's antics. When will his crew stop being complete idiots...he doesn't know.

"Otou-san, I've collected the vials for you."

Law turned to Orochi who held a box full of vials containing snake venom. He smirked and picked one up carefully. Holding it up to the sun, he studied it's unique color. "Good work Orochi. Now tell me what these are."

"Ah, well. They contain the paralytic venom only. One drop will leave you without mobility until the antidote is administered. It will require time to work through the body though with the small amounts you're going to use. That is what you inquired for, is it not? It was strenuous to get as much venom as I could from the variables." Orochi handed the small box over and Law took it while putting the vial he held back in it.

"Do you have the antidote yet in case of an emergency?" Law questioned the small boy and he shook his head.

"Haken-san has it."

"Excellent work Orochi. Your snakes came in handy for me." Law patted the boys head.

Orochi smiled, happy that he was useful to his Otou-san. "May I acquire new test subjects on the day of the party?"

Law smirked. "I'll bring you a few, but check back after you clean up to make sure nothing is left. Sayu has been finding things and she's not as dumb as you may think. We don't want her finding out your secret just yet Orochi. Let's keep that sweet child facade up a little longer in front of your mother."

Orochi nodded. "Understood Otou-san."

"You can go do whatever you want now." Law waved off the boy who went back inside the sub. Sitting down on one of the chairs on the deck, Law started to count each vial.

Splash!

Law looked over to the water and saw Fire Fist actually fishing. Not normal fishing with a pole, but fishing with his bare hands and feet.

"It's awesome to be able to swim again!" Ace shouted as he caught a fish.

"What are you doing, Mr. Fire Fist?" Law questioned the man.

"Ah, that was me Captain." Ryu spoke up from a little ways away. "I need as much fish as I can get for the food stall Sayu wants me to run."

Law nodded to his cook and went back to counting his vials.

"Is this going to work? You know we're bound to get tons of people coming here. Who knows who could show up?" Haken came up behind Law with a box. "I can admire what the little soldier is doing but it could still back fire."

Law looked at his scientist with a smirk. "I've got the utmost faith in her. And these vials are the key to us leaving with no problem at all."

"I've come up with the antidote. I've got fifty antidotes per your order." Haken placed the box next to him and Law looked over to it.

"Good work."

"So I can assume we're poisoning people?" Haken said with a grin.

Law nodded slowly. "Sayu came up with it as a fail safe if anything unplanned were to happen. Orochi said it will take a few hours to work and that will be plenty of time to get everyone worked up with the excitement and the twins performance." Law frowned slightly. "We'll probably put it in the drinks that Mr. Ryu will hand out. It's not going to work for everyone but most of the dumb witted will be out which will only leave us with those that are truly on the watch list. If Mr. Straw Hat was here, he'd drink it in a heart beat...the idiot."

"This is really a party isn't it?" Haken let out a sigh and ran his hand threw his hair with a laid back smirk. "I think the little soldier just wanted to have an actually party to celebrate saving Fire Fist-san."

Law's eyes turned into a glare and he nearly broke one of the antidote vials he was holding. "If that's the true reason, then she's an idiot." Law gently put the vials back in their respective boxes. "Store those away for now."

"Heard that, Captain-san."


Trinity Sayu

Sayu skipped along the rocky path down the town street. All the citizens were working for her and it made her giddy. She gave them promises of making green houses for them and showing the women how to properly grow some of the vegetation that will grow in those green houses. It's a simple matter that she could do. Building a green house is child's play for her. Ryu had come along with her and was throwing streamers all around the town and somehow managing to get them locking perfectly to houses together. Sayu won't question his skills, at least it gets the job done.

"Sayu!"

Sayu looked back at Ace who was running up to her. "Ace!" She grinned and Ace's face turned red thinking she looked really cute in her yellow overalls and black shirt. Sayu had scuffs on her face and dirt all over her hands but she still looked happy and cute and it sent Ace swooning in his head.

"It's time for a lunch break, do you want to eat with me?" Ace asked her with a grin.

Sayu nodded rapidly and rubbed her stomach. "I could go for food!"

"Great, we can have lunch together on the sub!" Ace grabbed her hand and dragged her towards the direction of the ship.

"You don't mind if we join do you?"

Sayu and Ace froze as they heard that voice.

Sayu was sweating bullets nervously. "...Ah...Daddy, when'd you get here?" Sayu turned to see Red Haired Shanks coming out from the small saloon that was in this town.

"I was in the area when we got one of these flyers." Shanks held up the paper and his crew snickered as he glared at Ace. "I see you're doing well."

Ace bowed to Shanks. "Thanks to your daughter. I will be the best husband ever to make up for the trouble I've caused her."

Sayu blushed and smacked Ace in the head. "Not my husband!" Sayu turned to her father. "This isn't really a party...I mean it is...for me...but it's really something Law needs to do."

"Oh. And what is your Captain planning?" Shanks looked over his daughter to see her. "It's been a while since we've had time to talk face to face. Why don't we head back to your ship for lunch?" Shanks shoved Ace aside making him fall on the ground. "Let Daddy see your pretty face without this bug near you!" Shanks touched Sayu's face with his hand and gave her smile. "Daddy's missed you baby girl!"

Sayu swatted his hand away. "Stop embarrassing me idiot father! And be nice to Ace! Why is everyone so mean to him?" Sayu helped Ace up and he smiled at her.

"Thanks Sayu." Ace held her hand for moment before Shanks shoved himself in between the two and grabbed Sayu's hand dragging her off. The other Red Haired Pirates walked by Ace, most of them snickering at him.


Trafalgar Law

"Captain! Sayu's back! And she's bought Shanks!" Bepo called out to him from where Law was in their room.

"That's wonderful, just wonderful." He mumbled sarcastically. Law closed his book and grabbed his hat and made for the door.

Orochi poked his head out of his room and looked at Law as he walked by. Closing his door to keep his snakes in, he followed after Law. "Red Haired Shanks is Okaa-san's father, correct?"

Law looked down to Orochi and nodded. "Yes. That's correct."

Orochi looked off to the side with a slight frown. "I am uncertain if he will show interest in myself as you and Okaa-san have. That would make him my Ojii-chan, yes?"

"That is also correct and you don't have anything to worry about. Sayu likes you and her idiot father wouldn't do anything to upset her." Law wondered how Shanks would react to them having a child now. He obviously doesn't want to see Sayu with anyone and just the thought of her having a child even if not biologically may make the man collapse on his feet.

"Ah, Law! My idiot father is here!" Sayu's face was covered with dirt and Law sighed. Pulling out a cloth from his pocket, he rubbed her face. Sayu's face sputtered as Law roughly rubbed her face with his cloth. "Gentle, be gentle!"

"Shut up..." Law mumbled and once he finished wiping her face, he took a kiss from her casually. Sayu blushed and awkwardly kissed back. It's funny to Law cause he can feel her shaking against his lips. "You need to relax." He told her once he pulled back with a smirk. "He must've gotten one of our flyers I assume."

Sayu nodded slowly with her face still red. Orochi slipped his hand into Sayu's and she looked down at him. "Ah, Orochi! You need to meet my father! He and Ace are in the kitchen, we're about to have lunch!"

Orochi looked at Law. "Does Shank share an intelligence similar to you, Otou-san?"

Law thought about this for a moment. "If he does, he doesn't show it. Like father like daughter is what to expect, Orochi."

Orochi smirked and glanced at Sayu then back to Law. "So he is humorous like Okaa-san."

Law gave the kid a calm smile. "Indeed."

Sayu shook her head. "You guys are being mean. Come on, let's go have lunch with my father."

"Sayu! Sit next to your father baby!" Shanks waved his hand in excitement until he saw Law come behind her. "...Why'd you have to bring him?"

Sayu groaned and put her head in her hand and then glared at her father. "Because he's the Captain of this ship! You don't eat without the Captain present unless you're snacking!"

"It's been a while...father." Law sat down in his seat and stared at Shanks with a small smirk. "Here for the party?"

Shanks glared at him. "I'm here to spend time with my adorable daughter!"

"Ojii-chan."

Shank's body turned to stone once Orochi spoke up. Ryu glanced in curiously from his spot in the kitchen where he was cooking. Shanks was literally a brick of stone right now.

Orochi stared at Shanks with a smirk. "Quite amusing." He mumbled and then looked up at Sayu. "Okaa-san, I love you three thousand."

Sayu froze and then crumpled to the ground on her knees. "Jashin, stop teasing me! Wahhh!" She sobbed into her hands and Shank's body was slowly disintegrating in the air.

"...G-Grandpa...?" Shanks mumbling while turning into dust.

Orochi pulled up a chair next to Law and climbed onto it. "Just as you stated earlier, like father like daughter. It is quite amusing."

Law relaxed in his chair and watched the two idiots fool about dramatically.

Ace stood up and ran to Sayu's side. "Sayu, I don't know what happened, but are you okay?!"

Sayu sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Jashin, it's just too painful. I wish Orochi would stop doing that to me..." Sayu grabbed Ace's hand as he helped her up. "Thanks Ace."

"You have a child?!" Shanks shouted at the two once everyone turned back to normal.

Sayu looked at her father as Ace pulled out her chair for her and she sat down. "Adopted. He's adopted. We actually saved him from being a slave in an auction house." Sayu looked at Orochi with a grin. "Isn't he the cutest thing you have ever seen?!"

Shanks looked at the child and for a second he could feel a small amount of blood lust come from him, but he shrugged it off. It was probably Law who glaring at Ace. "...Who are your parents kid?" Shanks asked him.

Orochi pointed to Sayu and Law with his hands. "Okaa-san and Otou-san."

Shanks nearly died right there. "Sayu, you're too young to be raising kids!"

Sayu grinned at her father. "Oh yeah? Well you're much of an idiot to have had one, but look at where we're at now."

"Are you disrespecting me?"

"Yes." Sayu smiled sweetly at her idiotic father.

Shanks choked and covered his eyes with his hand. "I'm a failure as a father."

"What are they saying, Otou-san?" Orochi looked at him with his face showing confusion for once.

Law chuckled and patted his head. "Nothing important."

"Where'd everyone else go?" Ace looked around the empty dining hall that was usually filled.

"Ah, we're here!" Yuki walked into the mess hall with Yuri following behind him with a sour look.

"What's wrong with you?" Law asked the purple eyed twin.

Yuri looked at his Captain and let out a sigh. "It's not important. Just having trouble with some practice."

Yuki giggled as he sat down. "Yuri didn't ever think we would be performing in front of tons of people. He's a little shy once I told him we expect a larger than usual crowd." Yuki looked over and spotted Shanks. "Oh Shanks. Welcome." Yuki bowed his head politely and Shanks nodded back.

Yuri sat down next to his brother and threw his hand up in greeting. "Jean Bart, Shachi, Penguin and Haken decided to go into town and eat at the small cafe they had."

Ryu slammed his rice ball tray on the table making everyone jump. "Oh, those idiots don't appreciate me slaving over a hot stove all the time? I'll fucking show those losers when they get back."

Bepo walked into the hall while fanning himself with his paw. "It's hot out here and the ground is hot too. It's hard to work in this." He muttered as he sat down.

"Okay, I want to have a normal lunch this time, please! I don't need a repeat of what happened last time you guys had lunch together." Sayu looked to Ace and Shanks and they both nodded like good little puppies. Sayu smiled with sparkles and then grabbed a rice ball. "Itadakimasu!"

Law chewed his rice ball slowly while staring at Sayu and then to Shanks. Their similarities are always so scary. Hopefully no one else they know shows up.

"SAYU-CHWAN!" The ship was rocked on the waves as a yellow and black blur swirled inside.

Law's eyes widened in horror. What is that love struck cook doing on his damn ship again?!

"S-Sanji!" Sayu jumped up just in time as Sanji grabbed Sayu's hands and twirled them around. Sayu giggled and went along with it. "Sanji!"

"Sayu!"

"Sanji!"

"Sayu!"

Sanji grinned and set her down. "Momoiro Island isn't that far from here so when I got your flyer, I raced over. That place is hell and truthfully any place is hell if you're not there with me! Sayu, are you alright? That liar of a okama man told me what happened at Marine ford..."

"Ah, so then I assume Luffy's message went out...how could I have missed that? Maybe it's because I've been so busy. Oh, I'm just fine by the way. Thanks for worrying." Sayu smiled brightly and Sanji wiggled in his spot.

"Oh my dearest wife..."

"WIFE?!" Shanks and Ace shouted in unison.

Law leaned back in his seat and stared up at the ceiling with regret running through his eyes. Why...of all times now, why does it have to be when he's in the midst of an operation?

Orochi calmly ate his rice ball while watching his idiot mother and grandfather with two of her idiotic pursuers in her affections argue with each other. Maybe he should say something... "Okaa-san and Otou-san already sleep in the same bed with me joining them on some nights. I assume that they are already in a budding relationship, so you all have no way nor right to intervene."

Sayu blushed heavily and Law smirked. "O-Orochi! You can't just say stuff like that casually!" Sayu glanced at the child and then back to the other three. Shanks, Ace, and Sanji were slowly melting in puddles of dread. "Ah! Get a hold of yourselves!" Sayu ran her hands through their puddles and whimpered. "Quit being idiots! I'm enough of an idiot for all of us!" She shouted.

Law looked over the chaos and then grabbed another rice ball. "Here." He handed it to Orochi who grabbed it an bit into it.

"Thank you Otou-san."

Law grabbed another for himself and then glanced at his cook who was still cooking. "Do we have takoyaki made?"

Ryu looked at his Captain. "I can make some for tonight if you want Captain."

Yuki and Yuri nodded to each other. "We like takoyaki too Captain." They spoke between their bites of rice ball.

Law nodded his head to Ryu. "Takoyaki for dinner tonight then."

"Guys! Quit it!" Sayu screamed at the three males still in puddle form around her.

Law sneered at them and then opened his palm. "Room." His room expanded to cover him and Sayu and he lifted his fingers. "Shambles."

"Ah!" Sayu plopped down into Law's lap and his hat replaced her body that was on the ground. "Law?"

"Just letting everyone know that you're mine." Law stole a kiss from her and the three idiots looked on in shock. Ace just stared at Law in anger.

"Sayu-chwan...y-you're spoken for?" Sanji whimpered out and Sayu looked at him with an apologetic look.

"Not really spoken for...but...I'm not really sure what to call this at the moment." Sayu muttered with a red face and nervous look.

"The Captain confessed to her and has been pursuing her for awhile now." Bepo walked up to Ryu with an empty plate. "Can I have some fish?"

Ryu looked at Bepo strangely. "You have no filter do you Bepo?"

Bepo didn't acknowledge the remark and held out his plate once again. Ryu sighed and went to the fridge to get the bear his fish. "Thank you."

Shanks stepped up to Law with his hand itching to draw his sword. "So you've finally made a move...I was dreading this day."

Law gave Shanks a cocky smirk and then ran his hand over Sayu's face. "Isn't she wonderful, father?"

Orochi giggled at seeing his father tease his grandfather.

Shanks was blowing smoke out of his ears as he stared at the man holding his daughter in his lap. "I will never accept you as my son in law."

Sayu hid her face in her shirt as Law continued to bait Shanks on. "This is so awkward...again! I just want to hurry and get the one hundred heart challenge over with and be out of here!"

The twins looked at her with sympathy. With cute looks come a heavy price of freedom.

Sanji and Ace were staring at Sayu with broken heart looks. And Shanks was literally about to destroy Law.

"I don't really care if you don't accept me. I only need Sayu, isn't that right Ms. Mechanic?" Law gently slid his finger underneath her chin all the while staring at Shanks with a cocky look.

Sayu shivered under his finger and then flinched when she saw her father's angry look. She crawled out of Law's lap slowly and got down to the floor and covered her head. "If you're going to fight, do it where Orochi and I won't get hurt please..."

Law sighed at how childish she was being hiding underneath the table. He then straightened up and looked at the three other males looking at him. "Let's get this straight here and now. I am going to have Sayu and that's it, she also agrees to it. And her so called happiness is what matters the most right?" He doesn't give one shit if she isn't happy with him. Law just wants her and that's all that matters. I mean he'll care for her obviously, but her happiness isn't at the top of his list. So he thinks but then does things on impulse for her all the time.

Shanks glared at the man and helped his daughter up from underneath the table. "Sweetie, I don't want you near him any longer. You'll be coming with me and I'll drop you off at Hawk-eye's island."

Sayu looked at her father with a shocked expression. "You can't just decide that! I'm staying with the Heart Pirates and that's that!" She crossed her arms and looked away with a pout. "You can't tell me what to do when you weren't even part of my life for most of it."

Ouch.

Awkward silence commenced and the rest of the Heart Pirates slowly disappeared. This wasn't a conversation they wanted to be part of. So that left Sayu, Law, Orochi, Ace, Sanji and Shanks.

"Sugarplum, please listen to me." Shanks reached out for Sayu but she only pulled away, making little tears pop up in Shanks' eyes.

"You're trying to take me away again, idiot father. I have things to do." Sayu muttered and left the awkward room.


Trafalgar Law

Shanks collapsed in a chair and ran his hand through his hair, emotionally drained.

"...Do we comfort him?" Sanji whispered to Ace.

Ace didn't know what to do. It was his future father in law, but he still hates him...so...to pat his back or not is the question. "...I'm not really sure..."

Sanji felt the same way as the man was his wife's father. Had to show at least a decent amount of respect but...it was Red Haired Shanks that they were talking about. "Uh..."

However Law knew exactly what to do for his first mate's father. "She doesn't mean it. I've told you she cares about you to some degree." Law stood up and grabbed his plate and Orochi's and made his way to toss them in the sink. "She says one thing but means something else. We've been over this, Mr. Red Haired."

"Yes, but this time I actually felt her anger in her voice. Chrystal was never like this to me...well she was sometimes but not as much as Sayu." Shanks muttered and leaned back into his seat.

"Well, I think this will all be over if you just accept that she's an adult. An awkward and childish adult, but an adult nonetheless now." Law came back around with a napkin and handed it to Orochi who grabbed it and wiped his face. "She can make her own decisions..." Law thought over that for a moment and then shook his head. "She can make some of her own decisions as long as they're run by me."

"...I know that...it's just that she's my little girl..." Shanks looked as if he was about to cry and Law gave the man a disgusted look. Seriously like father and daughter they are.

"She's not little. Face facts Mr. Red Haired, by unfortunate circumstances, you missed most of her childhood and you're not going to be able to get that back. Unless you can magically go back in time-" Shanks looked hopeful. "-and please don't find a way to, it's useless." Shanks looked depressed again and Law had to give a small grin at his defeated look. "Nothing is going to change."

Shanks looked down in thought and then at the three men. "You all feel something for my daughter don't you?"

Ace and Sanji nodded their heads firmly while Law just shrugged his shoulders. "I guess." Law said casually and then looked at Orochi. "Sometimes I can't believe it myself."

Orochi grinned at his father. "It's because Okaa-san has congenial attributes that you find aesthetically pleasing."

The others looked at Law for an explanation on what the child had just said.

Law smirked and patted Orochi's head slowly. "He said I find things about her beautiful for some reason. It's a stretch to say if you ask me, but I'll agree with him for the moment."

Shanks stood up and left the room without another word, probably in search for his first mate.

"Mr. Fire fist, don't you have things to finish?" Law looked at Ace who made an oh sound and left. "And Mr. Black Leg, our so called party doesn't start till a few more days. Why don't you go do something useful for Sayu?"

Sanji got hearts in his eyes and left in a love tornado. "Sayu-chwan! Your husband is on the way!"

Orochi looked at Law with a curious look. "Are you trying to send those moronic idiots to Okaa-san? What if something ill-fortune were too occur?"

Law glanced off to one of their port holes where he could see the sea. "I don't have any worries."

"You show traits of jealousy when you see her in company of other males." Orochi pointed out and a tick mark appeared on Law's head.

"I do not, and besides-"

"You broke the fire idiot's wrist."

Law glared at the child and pulled his cheek roughly. "Don't make me take your head off."

Orochi rubbed his red cheek and pouted slightly. "I just don't understand why you would send those men to Okaa-san."

"If you had let me finish, it's because I already know who's going to win!"

Orochi hopped off his chair and brushed his shorts of crumbs. "Very well, I suppose you always achieve what you want. I will be in my room with the variables."

Law shook his head at the child and then rested his cheek on his fist thinking things over. Allies are showing up, other pirates won't be far behind...and then the Navy. Law smirked and chuckled. "This is getting interesting...surely it will be an amazing operation."


Trinity Sayu

She peeked her head into the mess hall after losing the three men chasing her around and saw Law still sitting at the table, probably thinking.

"Are you talking to yourself?" She asked and Law turned his head to her.

"No, just thinking over something." Sayu walked over to Law and leaned over his shoulder.

"Whatcha thinking about?" She grinned at him and Law stared at her. Then he pulled her hair and shook her head roughly. "Ow ow ow owwiee! Why are you pulling my hair?!" She grabbed his hand as little tears appeared in her eyes. What had she done wrong this time?!

Law let go of her hair and studied her face. "Stop being stupid, you attract too much attention. You belong to me and me only, understand?"

"I understand that and already knew it too!" She rubbed her head with a frustrated look. "Jashin...that hurt."

Law nodded his head and then stood up. "I want everything done soon Sayu. Finish as quickly as you can." He rubbed her head and she smiled.

"I've got it all handled!" Giving him the brightest grin she could, hopefully he wouldn't feel upset at her anymore.

"Good." Law then placed his forehead on hers and leaned in for a deep kiss.

Sayu's hands twitched by her side and she tried to relax her body and attempt to enjoy Law's kiss. To get affection from the Surgeon of Death should be an honor to any girl but with Sayu it just feels kinda awkward because she still isn't sure about this new step he wants to take. But deep down...his kisses are kinda nice to her, only just a little. Closing her eyes, she pushed back against his lips slowly and Law smirked into the kiss and pulled her closer.

...A red haired father watched on from the doorway with a sad and devastated look on his face before leaving just as quietly as he appeared.
