"Oi." Rayleigh walked up to Law and handed him a small piece of silver jewellery. A simple necklace with a stethoscope charm. "Look after her. Or I'll know."
Shachi and Penguin looked like they were about to wet themselves. Law walked away outside and Bepo looked down at the woman in his arms.
"Here, I can help a bit for now." The reindeer offered.
"It talks!" Shachi and Penguin screamed.
"Why are you so shocked, you have a talking bear..." Several people around them muttered.
"I'm sorry." Bepo's head slumped.
"So sensitive!"
The next few moments were pure chaos. Shachi and Penguin helped the reindeer, Chopper, bandage up Katya's wound and they headed outside. Shachi and Penguin took it in turns holding Katya on their backs as Bepo was fighting.
Katya stirred as they were running over a bridge that a rather large man had destroyed, that now seemed to be with Law and the others. Law was running just in front of her. She tapped Penguin, who was carrying her, on the shoulder.
"Hey, put me down." She murmured.
"Katya-chan, you're awake!" Penguin quickly put her on her feet and she began running with them.
"What's going on?"
"Marines!"
"Ah."
"Captain, look at that!" Shachi suddenly cried out. In front of them was a huge human, wearing a paw print hat.
"That guy and Law clearly shop at the same store." Katya commented, pointing at the similar trousers and hat the man was wearing.
Law growled and focused on what was in front of him. "What's one of the warlords doing here?"
"Trafalgar Law." The large man said calmly.
"So you know my name?" Law pulled out Kikoku just as the man seemed to fire a huge pulse of energy from his mouth.
"Wha-" Law gasped but Katya was faster on the uptake. She dived for him and tackled him out of the way. The beam hit the ground behind where they had been.
"Katya-ya, you threw yourself at me." Law smirked under Katya, who was now lying across his body on the ground.
"Shut up! Don't get yourself killed before I kill you, you bastard."
"You haven't changed a bit."
"You have! You grew a small forest on your chin." Katya fired back, getting to her feet.
"Why does Joker want you?"
"Hell if I know! What's it to you, anyway?"
"Trafalgar, you're in my way!" Kid shouted angrily. Katya looked astonished at the huge metal arm protruding from the pirate.
"Damn, you held out on me, Kid." She raised her eyebrows.
"Shut up!"
"You want me to kill you? Stop ordering me around!" Law growled back at the red haired man.
"I shall make you let us pass..." Law looked up at the huge man in front of the three and activated his Room. "Bartholomew Kuma!"
Katya was exhausted. She was in no shape to fight Marines. Her fighting skills weren't great to say the least. She carried a small knife usually, but it wasn't with her as it had been confiscated by the auction house. She'd taken one of the numerous swords attached to Kid and had done her best to swing it to help, but to little avail. She'd hit one man off his feet but that was about it.
"Can't you fight at all?!" Law yelled at her as the group ran.
"I'm a singer, not a soldier! Shouldn't you have this all in hand, big shot rookies?"
"What about that Devil Fruit of yours?"
"It's not that kind of fruit!" She screeched back at Law.
"Hey Trafalgar, is she your ex or something?"
"Go to hell!" The two of them replied at the same time Bepo said "Oh, yes."
"Bepo-sama!" Katya whined.
"I'm sorry."
"We're getting out of here, Kat. Why don't you come with me? I'm sure my crew would love a singer." Kid said with a smile. "Why have Trafalgar when you could be my woman instead?"
"Okay firstly, I belong to nobody," Katya threw the sword she was holding at Kid's face, which he easily caught with his powers. "Second of all, you're coming off really desperate! Solid pass!"
"That was quite harsh." The tall man, Jean Bart, commented.
"Eat me." She spat back.
"You always did like that." Law said offhandedly. Katya went bright red and screamed a string of curse words at him as the group reached a quieter clearing.
"Suit yourself. I'll see you in the New World, Trafalgar." Kid grinned in their direction before heading off beyond a hill.
"Law..." Katya turned to face the rookie pirate with a rather frightening expression.
"Eep!" Shachi and Penguin cried out together. "She's going to do it!"
"Do what?" Bepo said.
Katya brought her hand up and put her hand gently on Law's shoulder. The two men recoiled in shock. That hadn't been what they were expecting. "Thanks for getting me out of there."
"Why does Joker want you, anyway?"
"I have no idea, I already told you this!"
"Maybe he's a fan?" Penguin said.
"I heard a voice from over there!" A Marine shouted loudly. The men immediately took their fighting stance before Katya quickly pulled them behind a tree.
"Wait." She said sharply, and focused, before clicking her fingers. "Silent."
Law gasped as a small film flew from Katya's hand and engulfed the group. The bubbles stopped making sound. The Marines could not be heard, although they appeared to be shouting as they ran past.
"What did you just do?" Jean Bart whispered.
"They can't hear us, you don't need to whisper." Katya replied.
"Your Devil Fruit power!" Shachi ran towards her. "This is what it does?" Katya nodded in reply.
Law fell to his knees. "Katya..." he began to shake.
"What? You want to criticise me more?"
"Your Devil Fruit..." the man's voice almost had a quiver to it. "I know why Joker wants you."
