Law warped the group into the facility and they continued into the facility. They stopped off at Katya's room in order to grab her knives at her request, and they were now strapped to her belt.

"I can make us stealthier with my fruit." Katya said as they walked down the corridor.

"Use it to follow one of us if it's needed." Law advised. A few more minutes and they were outside the room. Chopper had been hidden in a bag hanging from Law's nodachi, which Katya thought was rather awful for the reindeer. The brunette hid in a small alcove by the door as Law walked in.

"If you're looking for the Master, he's not here." Monet said without looking up.

"Where is he?" Law asked calmly.

"Who knows. He's pretty twisted, so he's probably watching the battle outside."

Law put down the bag with Chopper in on a large pink sofa that was in the room.

"I've found everything that I'm going to find on this island, so I'll be leaving soon."

"I see. It'll be lonely without you." Monet said, still writing away in her notebook.

"I need to borrow your ability for a small task. Mind coming with me?"

Monet turned around and moved the glasses from her face. "Oh, a date? How lovely."

Katya grit her teeth but maintained her position.

Law walked out of the room, gesturing Monet to follow. He went in the opposite direction to the alcove where Katya was.

"Unsocial as ever, I see." Monet chuckled. "What is it?"

"You'll see when we get there." Law said flatly.

"Fair enough. I was bored anyway." Monet flapped her wings and went to follow Law. Katya waited for a few moments before activating her Devil Fruit and following in the shadows. Monet's wings and clawed feet would make her a difficult opponent should it come to it. Katya went from alcove to alcove, her 'Calm' ability making her not make a single sound as she walked or moved.

They were a good way down the corridor when Law began to stumble.

"Law?" Monet inquired. Law clutched his chest like he couldn't breathe.

"Who...is it?" He gasped out.

"What's wrong?" Monet asked and landed next to him. Katya quickly dived into another corridor before the bird woman could turn around to face Law.

"It looks like you're in pain." Monet commented.

Law spat out blood and he was on the verge of collapsing to the floor.

"Who's...there?"

Footsteps approached and a low male voice said simply "it's me".

"What...are you...doing here?" Law gasped out.

"How many years has it been?" The figure asked. "You've grown, Law."

Katya clapped a hand over her mouth. Law was on his knees in front of Vergo, and she couldn't take out both of the threats.

"Did you honestly think HE didn't know what you were up to? Or that you brought the woman with the Calm Calm Fruit with you?"

Katya readied her knives and came out of her hiding place. She threw her first knife at Monet, who screeched as it hit her leg.

"Oh, this must be her. Takimi Katya." Vergo said. He had what appeared to be a whole burger attached to his face like an awful after effect of a large meal. "Monet, deal with her. Joker wants her alive, though."

Monet turned and slashed at Katya, who dodged swiftly. Her months of training were paying off in terms of the observation Haki, at the very least. She used her knives to strike the woman, but it went straight through her. Her Snow Snow Fruit, Katya cursed. The only way to hurt Monet would be through armament Haki, which Katya had never been good at. She focused and aimed at Monet's wing, using her Haki as much as she could and threw. Not much of the blade worked was coated, but the tip was. It embedded itself in Monet's wing and the woman screeched angrily. Before Katya could ready another, Monet had grabbed her and disarmed her.

Monet used her claws to tear apart three large cuts into Katya's belly before pulling her away down the corridor.

"K-Katya!" Law shouted. "You bastards!"

"If you try to keep secrets from adults, you will inevitably be caught, Law!" Vergo was saying. Monet laughed sadistically as Katya brought her hand up enough to flip off the bird woman.

"Then...I'll just have to...get rid of you!" Law grabbed Kikoku and prepared to strike.

"Oh, and there's one other thing." Vergo said, and gripped a small cube in his hand. Law writhed in pain and Katya recognised that it was one of the cubes Law made when he used his Mes technique. But if Law was hurting...

"No!" She gasped.

"You misspoke. It's Vergo-SAN." The man said, and hit Law in the head. Monet dragged Katya away from the two men as she struggled. Law's heart was in Vergo's hand. Katya screamed desperately at the scene before her.

"LAWWWW!"
