Two weeks passed and the crew were beginning to get antsy about the fact that they were essentially banned from the isle of women and confined to the gulf nearby. The Amazon Lily warriors brought them food and supplies, but most of them hated talking to the men. Those that were less afraid began bombarding Katya and Ikkaku with questions about what men were like, much to Shachi and Penguin's dismay.

"Most men are absolutely awful at attending to your needs in bed," The two women would sit against a tree and talk to the warriors casually. "You get a few good ones, but most are selfish. They don't even go down on you."

"How awful!"

"Men are the worst!"

"Plus their laundry always smell gross. Do you know what they do to socks?" Ikkaku would comment.

The Heart Pirates berated the two women for their terrible portrayals of men but they consistently laughed it off and told the warriors lots of exaggerated stories about men they'd met in their lives.

"The mushroom between their legs, Katya-san," one of the warriors was currently asking Katya as she tucked into dinner not far from where Law, Bepo, Connor and Chris were sat. "Luffy said that if it is taken off, they could die!"

"Their dicks?" Katya was quite drunk at this point. The booze had flowed well this evening and she had engaged in a drinking contest with Shachi, which had been abandoned after Law told them he wouldn't use his powers to cure liver damage.

"Luffy called them family jewels."

"Same thing. Yeah, if you rip them off, the bleeding could kill them, but more it's a pride thing. Men place a lot of value on what's downstairs." She leaned forward and nodded very seriously.

Law smirked slightly at Connor and Chris, who were begging Katya to stop her descriptions.

"It is important to them?"

"Oh, yeah. Most of the problems in the world are caused by men trying to measure them too much." Katya took another swig of her drink. "But they're not compleeeeeetely useless."

"What do they do?" One of the warriors, a younger blonde woman, leaned in curiously.

"Well, if they know how to use them, it can bring you a lot of pleasure. It's not always about size, though that helps." She giggled.

"KATYA-CHAN!" Connor and Chris screeched loudly.

"Hm?" She looked over at the group with an innocent expression.

"You're being so inappropriate!"

"Anyway, there's this thing known as big dick energy-"

"Totally ignored!" The two men shouted back.

"Big dick energy? What's that?" The warriors began theorising amongst themselves as Law walked over.

"Katya-ya."

"Hang on, Law, I'm almost done." She shot to her feet and swayed slightly. "So, big dick energy is where someone is fearless!" She threw her hands up in the air, holding her bottle in one hand. "The loud and boisterous energy emitted by someone who has a huge dick and doesn't have to tell anyone about it. The energy speaks for itself!"

Ikkaku strode over with her own drink and smirked at Law as the Amazonians tried to wrap their heads around the concept. "She's right. But few possess such a gift. And to find one with big dick energy that actually has a big dick? Even rarer."

"Yeah, though some have it down. Like this one." Katya gestured to Law stood next to her with another hiccuped giggle. "Got the confidence AND the goods, if you know what I'm saying."

"KATYA!" Ikkaku laughed hysterically as Law's face turned bright red and he dragged the woman away from the group, confiscating the beer bottle as he did so.

"Aw, Captain, bring her back!" Ikkaku said between laughs.

"Lawwwwww~" Katya whined as he sat her down next to Bepo. "Why did you kidnap my drink? And me?"

"You've had enough to drink. And I would kindly ask that you stop talking about my appendages with others."

"Pfft, we both know I'm right."

"Katya-ya." Law's face leaned close to hers with a serious expression.

"Law..." Katya's eyes trailed to his lips and stared at them. It seemed like a good idea to lean forward and taste them. Just a little peck, to see if they were the same...

"Katya-ya!" Law raised his voice.

"Hm?"

"You activated your Devil Fruit." Katya looked around and realised that she could no longer hear the chatter of the crew and the warriors by Ikkaku. She groaned and focused, bringing the sound back to normal. The moment was over.

Katya was going to be the death of him, Law concluded. Over the last few weeks, it was like he'd been smacked in the face repeatedly with all the reasons he'd originally been drawn to her all those years ago. He couldn't get her off his mind. Now she was dancing in the middle of his crew without a care in the world, looking stunning. It was like the firelight danced across her freckles, Law thought, before he immediately grimaced at such a cringey observation.

"Hey, everyone, let's take a picture!" She quickly dragged in the whole crew and set Law's camera (previously full of medical images) on a nearby log stump.

"Everyone say 'Amazon Lily!'!"

"AMAZON LILY!" The crew cheered. Law had relented a small smile as the crew beamed in their odd looking group hug. Law was in the centre with Bepo and Katya either side.

"Yay!" Katya bounced up and down with delight and put the camera down next to Law.

"Sing for us, Katya-chan!" Daniel, one of the medical team, exclaimed.

"Oh, yes, please sing for us!" Bepo joined in.

"Aw, I can't say no to you all!" She giggled, and hiccuped slightly. "Which song?"

"Sing the one about the ship!"

"Pffffthahhahaha" Katya began to laugh even harder. "You know I told Shakky once, I told Shakky once," she slurred "that only the weirdest pirate ever would make a submarine bright yellow!" Law rolled his eyes.
"You remember the bit I taught you?"

"Yeah!" The crew cheered and began singing along with Katya. "WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE, YELLOW SUBMARINE, YELLOW SUBMARINE!"

Shachi and Penguin got back to their feet and started dancing with Katya and Law's heart began to pound. She was smiling, and he had never seen her happier. It was in that moment that he decided that Katya had to be able to defend herself. Her training would begin tomorrow.

Although, Law observed the way the woman was stumbling over her own feet as she waved her arms around, it may start after a strong cup of coffee.
