LOVE YA ALL!
Law and Elga were wandering for some time inside the forest.
It was quit hard to find something edible in a place with no germination as the ground was frozen with snow and ice.
Also most of the animals were still into hibernation as frosty days hadn't finished yet. Not that the weather stops being cold in a winter island but there are colder seasons and other a bit more warmer.
However, the girl seemed to be accustomed to the idea of living inside a forest and knew how to move.
"Wait! I can see footprints!" she said and fell on her knees to observe the paw prints better.
Law stopped and watched the girl as she was touching and smelling the ground.
"Oi don't bring it so close to your face it's dirty…" he commented.
"Shhh…" she just said to him and focused her hearing as she thought she heard a roar coming from their right side.
"I think I can hear something… It is getting closer!"
"I can't hear anything." Law answered trying to focus on his senses too.
Suddenly, a huge white rabbit with sharp claws, big teeth and red evil eyes, jumped out of some bushes and went for them.
Both of the teenagers dodged the attack by taking some steps behind and took fighting poses.
Law jumped in the air and tried to kick the fierce creature but it grabbed his leg and sent him flying towards a tree.
"Arg..." he groaned in pain while he tried to stand up on his legs.
"Be careful! Winter rabbits are good fighters!" Elga shouted at him.
"Well, thank you for informing me on time…" he answered ironically.
The girl hopped in the air to reach the rabbit's height as it was much taller than her and took a hold of his one hand. Then, she put some force and succeeded to bring down the white creature which hit the ground and left a yell from pain.
Elga turned to Law smiling and looked at him.
"And this is how we knock out a wild winter rabbit!" she said boasting.
However, Law's expression changed into a fearful one as he saw the white monster lifting his hand to hit Elga with his keen claws.
He could see that the girl had no idea of what is going on behind her back while the deadly attack was coming for her.
The fear of her dying right in front of his eyes overwhelmed his heart but he put it aside and decided to act fast.
"Room.", he called for his ability and a blue hemisphere was created including all of them inside it. Then, he grabbed a piece of wood he found near him.
"Shambles!" he named his move and found himself upon the beast and hit it on his head with great strength.
The rabbit fell on the ground completely defeated this time and Law landed nearby it.
He was trying with difficulty to catch his breath as he was panting hard.
He still wasn't used to put into action his ability so it drained too much energy.
However, there was another one more important thing to be worried about right now.
The girl had seen his powers and was really afraid of her reaction. Will she be scared of this revelation and think he is some kind of a monster? He had felt like this before in his life when everyone thought he was a freak with those white spots of his and now he really didn't want to lift his head and face her. He didn't want to see this expression of hate and disgust on her.
Law decided to keep his coolness and don't show his thoughts. He was always so collected and proud after all as he didn't want others to pity him or let them behave him badly.
He raised his head and his gaze fell on the girl's figure.
She was looking at him with an expression he couldn't tell if she detested him or she just didn't care.
"Won't you say something?" he asked.
"That…" she began to say.
Law kept silent waiting for her answer feeling nervous.
*Will she start screaming? Or run away from me? Mr. Junk said I should never show my ability to others as they will either be scared or come after me…*, he thought.
"That… was amazing! How did you do this?!" she finally replied having an excited expression.
*Those must be the secret abilities Bepo talked about that day… That explains how he knows everything…*, she thought remembering the bear's words about his friend.
Law wasn't prepared for this response and held his hat to hide his embarrassment after hearing this nice comment for his skills.
*That idiot!*, he thought again as her carelessness behavior made him use his powers and let her know about them. She got him into so much trouble for once again and now she is saying all these nice words for him. She was truly an idiot for trusting people and being so kind to them so easily!
"You Baka! You could have died!" he scolded her.
She would have been dead if she was alone now and he couldn't even think of it.
Maybe he had been more attached to her than he thought he was and didn't know how this thing happened. Probably, it's her personality or the fact that he can see many common points between them.
"Is this how you cured my broken waist? I couldn't see any stiches there in contrast with my back…" the girl questioned him.
Law wasn't sure if he had to reveal more about his devil fruit but he guessed it is alright to trust her on this and answer her.
"Yeah… It was a difficult place for surgery inside a house…"
"This is awesome! Just imagine how many lives you can save with this ability!"
Law didn't say anything in response and kept silent but Elga seemed like she wanted to learn more about this topic.
"How does it work?"
"You ask too many questions!" the boy stopped her.
Elga didn't want to bring him into an awkward position so she decided not to ask more for now.
"Thank you for this…"
"Just be more careful already…" he advised her.
Then a thought crossed his mind and it left him a bitter taste in his mouth. He won't be always with her to protect her from the worst so she had to take a better care of herself.
"What will you do when you leave in a few days? I can't keep my mind busy that you are going to die any moment out there…" he continued.
"I will survive as I did before we meet." the girl answered him with an annoyed expression. She knew she was quite strong for her age and gender and didn't want others to think of the opposite.
"Yeah, I saw that!" he commented sarcastically.
"I just had some bad moments! Nothing more!"
"Yeah, right…" he teased her again smirking with amusement at the sight of her face getting red from anger.
"Listen here you…" she started to say but Law stopped her as she threw her a rope to tie the rabbit's one hand in order to help him carry it.
"Come on, we still have a lunch to cook." he said again and both of them began walking back at the house.
