Katya dreamed once more of black fuzzy shapes. But this time, she was able to move. One fell in front of her and she held out a hand to catch it. Her vision swam into focus.

"A black...feather?" She said in confusion.

"You're not supposed to be here." A deep voice said. Katya tilted her head back up and saw a blonde man with a shirt on that was covered in hearts. He had a black feather coat on his back and lipstick on.

"W-What is this place?"

"It's your mind, child. But think of it more as an in between place of existence."

"Between what?"

"Well, living and dying." The man said, putting a cigarette in his mouth.

"W-Who are you?" Katya said curiously.

"I think you already know my name."

Katya looked into the man's eyes and her heart leapt into her throat. The clothing, the makeup, it was just as Law had described him. "Corazon."

"My name is actually Rosinante, but yes."

"If I'm here, then...am I dead?!" Katya screeched in horror.

"Not yet, but you are dying. Like I said, this is an inbetween place. I am here as we are connected in two very distinct ways."

"Our Devil Fruit." Katya breathed.

"And our love for Law." The man replied. He lit up his cigarette but then screamed as he set his coat on fire.

"WHY ARE YOU ON FIRE?!"

The man rolled around to put out the flames and then said casually. "There was no fire."

"Stop lying!"

Corazon took a drag of his cigarette. "Anyway, about the reason I'm here..."

"It's not because I'm hallucinating and dying then?!"

Cora grinned. "I like you."

"Be straight with me!"

"I wanted to say thank you." The man pulled Katya into a hug. His embrace was there but it felt disconnected like it was fading in and out of existence.

Katya blinked in shock and let go of the blonde.

"W-Wha-?"

"You have continued to give Law something to live for. You and your crew. You have cared for him more than anyone, though, Katya-chan." Corazon sighed. "He was so full of hatred when I met him. He told you his story?"

Katya nodded quietly.

"We travelled for months to get him treated before I stole the Op Op Fruit. I died before I could ever see him use it. I may not have had a child, but I'd like to think Law is as close as I ever got."

"He adored you. I could tell every time he spoke about you."

"Awww! Law!" The man grinned happily and clapped his hands together goofily. "He talks about me!"

"You're just like he described." Katya broke into a small smile. "Thank you for saving him all those years ago."

Corazon walked to her and took her hand, folding the black feather into it. "I want you both to live, Katya-chan. Law was full of vengeance once. I don't want him to be consumed by avenging my death. I made my choice. And my choice was to love him and save his life - I don't regret a second. I want you to promise me this. Don't let him throw his life away. Not for me."

"I won't."

Corazon nodded and grinned at her. "Oh, can you do me a favour when you wake up?"

"Huh?" The man's image began to grow fuzzy and he flipped her a peace sign.

"Tell Law he needs to tell you his name. And that I said hi!"

Black feathers clouded Katya's vision once more and she fell into the darkness.

"She's still not awake!" Leo's voice sounded far away as Katya began to regain consciousness. "Are you sure you did it right?"

"Of course!" Another voice, a female, said. She sounded like she was in pain.

Law, Katya tried to reach for the voice but the darkness around her was dragging her backwards.

"Maybe she can hear us when she's asleep! Katland! Fraland finished destroying the factory with us and Luffyland brought you to the Flower Field!"

Katya opened her eyes and groaned. "Stop shouting.."

"Katland!" The dwarf beamed.

"I feel..." she scrunched up her face in confusion. "...okay." She looked down at her hand and unfurled it. The black feather was still there. Her dream...had it been real?

"That was Princess Mansherry!" Leo gestured to the other dwarf next to him. It was a blonde girl with tears in her eyes. "Her tears have healing powers! It won't last forever, but it will help for now!"

"Thanks..." Katya said with a grateful smile before she shot up, sending Leo flying. "Where is everyone? Law? Luffy? They were with me!"

"They're fine!"

A plume of fire suddenly lit up Katya's eye line.

"Or not."

"Cien Fleur! Spider Net!" She heard Robin cry and saw Law fall from the sky, thrown by Luffy.

"LAW!" Katya struggled to her feet and ran to him and Robin. Robin had the Heart Pirate Captain in the net and Katya surged forward.

"WHY DO YOU HAVE ONE ARM?!" She screamed in horror.

"Stay with us, Tra-guy-kun!" Robin said, and her and Katya held him just up from the ground.

"Don't you die on me, Law! I promised Corazon I wouldn't let you die yet!" Katya took his face in her hands.

"NICO ROBIN! TAKIMI KATYA!" Doflamingo shouted and Katya looked up.

"Why won't you die already?!" Katya screamed at the man angrily.

"He's not been dismissed! Bullet String!"

A rain of string shots rained down aimed for the three. Katya stood up and faced the sky.

"I told you already. LAW ISN'T DYING HERE!"

She pulled out her last knife and put all her willpower into it. The knife and Katya's arm went black.

"Armament Haki!" Robin cried out.

"SO LEAVE US THE FUCK ALONE!"

Katya held up her arm in front of the string shots aiming for them and roared angrily.
