"I'll see you at Zou." Katya smiled warmly at Bepo and scratched part of his head. "Find a female bear and sing to her."

"I will if I can!"

Katya looked across the deck at the island in the distance. It appeared to be an absolute nightmare of a place. Half of it was covered in snow and the other half looked like it was on fire. It had taken nearly a week to travel to the place as they had to go back on their route to Yukiryu Island.

"I'm going to head for the snow covered part." Katya said as she climbed into the small wooden boat that would take her to the island. She was nervous about rowing herself to shore but it wasn't far, and she'd be able to cope hopefully.

"Be safe, Katya-chan." Shachi and Jake gave her a few parcels of food, as well as a life jacket and putting her belongings in an air-tight bag.

"I'll do my best."

She put everything in the boat and began the long row to the island. It was hard work and her shoulders burned after half an hour of rowing. She had built up her stamina training at Amazon Lily but she still wasn't very strong. The submarine was now out of sight and for the first time in a while, Katya was truly on her own.

PHYOOOOOOM!

A cannon ball crashed into the sea right by Katya's left side. She was being fired at?! She rowed faster. The sooner she got to the island, the better. The Heart Pirate knew that she couldn't do much against cannons aside from attempt to dodge them.

"SHIT!" She felt the cannon ball come towards her before it hit, but no matter what a person does, they can't always move fast enough. The metal ball ripped the front off the small rowing boat and Katya panicked immediately as water flooded in. The shore wasn't far, but she couldn't swim.

Katya raced to get the life vest out that the crew had given her. The water reached her ankles and she felt like she could collapse. She used the last of her strength to put the vest on her head and secure the sides. She kept as strong a grip as she could on her airtight bag and managed to attach it to her wrist. The water was ice cold and she immediately began to shiver.

The effect of the water was horrifying. It was like all her energy had been drained out of her like how one would drain the sap from a plant. The effort to keep her head lolled against the side of the life vest rather than slumping it forward took all of her effort.

She didn't know how long she drifted. Her hands were beginning to turn blue and her teeth chattered. Hypothermia was not how she had intended to die. In fact, she hadn't ever planned to die until she had accomplished her dream of being the most well-known singer in the world.

"SHURORORORORO! What do we have here?"

Katya tried to lift her head, but it was in vain.

"She's still alive. Probably a Devil Fruit user, or she'd have swum for longer after we hit her." A green haired woman with wings was flying above her. "Could be an interesting one to study."

"Hmm..."

"Besides, didn't you kill one of the nurses for the Biscuit Room yesterday?"

"Ah, yes." The other person, a man with bright lipstick and a coat that had 'GAS' printed either side. "That could be useful. Pick her up, and we'll take her back with us."

Katya's brain felt fuzzy. No, she had to get to Law, she had to get...

The freckled woman's head slumped forward in exhaustion as the bird looking woman lifted her up out of the ocean and flew towards the island.

Trafalgar Law was not having a good day. He was still repairing the crew of pirates that Caesar had demanded of him to use as further bodyguards. The things he did in order to get Caesar to trust him. He had just finished attaching a horse leg to a pirate that had lost one, and he felt tired. Keeping his Room active for long periods of time made him exhausted.

"Open the door! Master-sama and Monet-sama are coming back!" One of the hazmat suited workers rushed past the room where Law was operating. He rubbed his temples. There was no peace with them around.

The large doors to the facility could be heard opening from down the long hall. Law put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the room. He needed to do some more analysis of the SAD room. Calculating the correct time to strike against Doflamingo was key.

"We found an intruder." Monet flew up beside him. "She was sailing towards the island and we sank her boat. She's quite unwell, but we can make use for her. The children need a new caretaker for now."

"Keep me out of things. I am here to vacation. I take time away from being a Shichibukai, and you get a bodyguard. That's it. It's bad enough you had me fixing those messed up pirates' limbs, Monet-ya."

"Suit yourself. Caesar-sama is going to send her to the Biscuits Room as soon as she recovers from her hypothermia. She was in the ocean for a while."

"Shurororororo! Maybe you can use her for your own experiments, Law!" Caesar floated up to the two. "You do like taking people apart."

"Tch." Law looked away. "I'm busy."

"She probably won't survive at this rate. She looks quite blue." Monet remarked thoughtfully. "Aren't you some kind of doctor?"

"I am a doctor, Monet-ya."

"Then fix her. We need an attendant for the children since the last one 'quit'."

Law grit his teeth. "Fine, but then no more favours for three days. I'm working on things."

"Deal."

"Here she is. Apparently a Devil Fruit user, too, shurororo!" Caesar called forward the metal bed the young woman was being wheeled on. Her hair covered her face. There were hints of ice on it. Not good, Law thought. She'll need to be treated immediately.

"I'll take her into the medical room." Law said and gestured to the room up the hall. The two men wheeling the bed went ahead of the trio.

"I'll come to retrieve her in a day or so." Monet said coolly. "Then she can go to work with the children."

"Ah." Law nodded and strode towards the medical room whilst Caesar and Monet went round the corner towards the living quarters.

He entered the room and the two men in hazmat suits had removed their helmets.

"Huh, she's quite cute." One said to the other.

"Shame she's probably not going to make it though. What a waste." The other agreed.

"Unless you know how to treat her, leave." Law said coldly, and the two men fled the room in haste. The Surgeon or Death scared them for certain. Law sighed and went over to the woman. There was a bag tied around her wrist and he removed it, placing it aside.

The woman's clothing was soaked through, and would need to be removed. The hypothermia would only increase if the clothes were cold and wet. Law tilted the woman's head upright and gently removed the hair that covered her face.

The familiar freckles felt like a punch to his chest. He cast his Room and used it to slam the door shut.

"...Katya!" The doctor cried out in shock as he saw the brunette's face in full. There were icicles forming on her eyelids, plus her lips were cracked and blue. She had mere minutes at this rate.

"...forgive me for this, Katya." Law used his powers to remove the woman's wet clothing. For now, Katya wasn't a woman he wanted to lavish. She was a dying member of his crew.

Law switched on every heater in the room and began to use his powers to save the female Heart Pirate.
