"I wanna save the kids." Luffy declared as he looked over the sleeping ones.
"They're so much trouble." Law said. "Leave them. The drugs in their system won't give them long anyway."
"Law!" Katya cried. "How can you say that?!"
"How could we possibly transport them away? Who would look after them? How would the drugs even come out?" Law replied. Katya didn't have an answer for any of them. She looked down at Jess, who was curled up with Mocha. Katya walked over to the children as Law and the Straw Hats continued to talk.
"All you had to do was stay..." she sang softly. It was one of her older songs and one of Mocha's favourites. Law sighed as he watched her.
"You really want to save them?" Law said.
"Of course." Katya said quietly. "I'm their onee-chan. I won't let them down. Please..." she looked up at him "Captain."
Law knew she was serious. She never usually called him Captain.
"Fine."
"Oh, and Sanji went to put the samurai back together!" Luffy was saying cheerily. "If you're going to be allied with us, then you gotta help out!"
Katya looked at Luffy with a slight smirk, before looking back at Law's horrified face.
"Pffffffthahahahaha!" She burst out laughing, her solemn mood gone in an instant.
"Geez, I knew you had no idea what was going on." Usopp said. "The alliance he asked you to form only means that we're working together for the sole purpose of achieving a certain objective, right?"
"Naturally." Law replied, and raised an eyebrow as Katya continued to laugh.
"That's what you meant, but when Luffy hears the word alliance, he thinks of something else."
"Like friends, right?" Luffy said and grinned happily at Katya. The freckled woman gave him a high five.
"If you thought you could get him to follow some plan, that isn't gonna happen." Usopp continued. "Once he gets some wild idea, he won't budge. That's the problem with Luffy. He's always like this. In terms of self-centred stubbornness, he's on par with the Yonkou."
Katya and Luffy grinned at each other, laughing when Luffy flicked a booger onto Chopper's face.
"It's like there's two of them." Usopp sweatdropped.
"We don't have time to argue." Law said bluntly. "You can take care of the samurai yourselves. I'll investigate the drug that was administered to the children. Which one of you is the doctor? I'll need them with me to distract Caesar."
"It's Chopper-san." Katya gestured to the reindeer covered in bandages on the floor. "Which could present an issue."
Usopp thought for a moment before pulling some rope out of his pocket and attached Chopper to Law's head.
"Okay, this should do it."
"Sorry," Chopper said. "I can't move right now, so I'll have to rely on you."
Law's face was comedy gold. Luffy half collapsed laughing. "Don't drop him Tra-guy!"
"Superrrr cute!" Franky grinned.
"He looks ridiculous." Katya bit back a laugh. "I'll carry Chopper-san."
"Katya-ya." Law said in warning. "This is dangerous, facing Caesar."
"He knows I'm a traitor by now. Who cares? I told the crew I wouldn't let you do anything stupid alone. Besides, where else would you put Chopper so you could fight?"
"I was going to tie him to Kikoku." Law said without an ounce of remorse.
"Please, take care of the children." Katya said to Nami as the trio left. The woman had been harsh to her, but she cared about the children. Chopper was nestled in Katya's good arm. She could see why the children had called him a stuffed toy. He was incredibly soft and she tickled his head.
"The main experiment room will have Caesar-ya and a woman in it." Law explained to Chopper as they walked. "I'll get them out of there. When that happens, take Katya-ya and investigate the drugs."
"But you're strong. You could easily get close to this Master. Why don't you capture him yourself?"
Katya looked at Chopper. "We have our reasons." The sounds of G-5 battling in the background could be heard.
"Looks like it's getting rough down there..." she said to Law.
"What is that?!" One of the men suddenly cried.
Luffy, with Franky and Robin in tow, crashed into the front door with a huge 'BOOM'!
"WHAT IS HE PLAYING AT?"
"Master, get out here!" Luffy shouted loudly. "I'm going to kick your ass and kidnap you!"
"Go Luffy!" Chopper wiggled in Katya's arms.
"That idiot!" Law said angrily. "Who told him to take on the whole Navy?"
"At least they'll be distracted?" Katya offered as a silver lining.
Law growled and Katya wondered what his blood pressure reading would currently be.
"Law, I know you like to plan, but life is rarely like that. Without spontaneity and chaos, nothing exciting usually happens." Katya said. "Meeting me again wouldn't have happened if everything had gone to plan, would it?"
"No."
"Luffy is chaotic, but I think that everything will work out in the end." She smiled at him encouragingly. "Besides, don't the Straw Hats remind you of our crew? They're just as goofy and silly. Just in a more destructive way."
Law sighed and Katya put a hand on his shoulder. "Besides, when this is over..."
Katya leaned up to his ear and whispered into it. Law smirked slightly, whilst Chopper just looked rather confused in Katya's arms.
"What does she mean by blow-"
"Okay! Let's go inside!" Katya blurted out quickly.
