"Leave me here!" Law demanded. "For the past thirteen years I've only lived to kill Doflamingo!"
"Law, you are NOT-" Katya began, looking at him in Cavendish's arms, who had arrived shortly after Katya had knocked the string shots out of the way with her Haki and collapsed to her knees.
"That's not it. If Straw Hat-ya is going to win, I want to see it with my own eyes!"
"Then I'm staying with you!" Katya said stubbornly.
"There's no point in arguing with you, is there?"
"Nope." Katya kissed his forehead gently with a tired smile.
"Cabbage-san, can you put him down?"
"My name isn't Cabbage!" The blonde screeched.
"Does it even matter right now?" Katya rolled her eyes as Cavendish put Law down. Katya laid his shoulders across her back and put her arms around him. "Can we have a moment, please?"
"Tch." The blonde man walked away from them and sat a few metres away.
"Law, I saw Cora." Katya said, taking his good hand in hers and placed the black feather into it.
"What do you mean?"
"I dreamed of him." She murmured. "I know it sounds crazy, but I did. It was like we were connected through the Calm Calm Fruit. He told me to tell you something."
Law didn't reply, just waited and stared forward.
"He said to say hi, and that I should tell you this: it's time for you to tell me your real name."
Law flinched.
"What does that mean? Is your name not Law?"
"It is, but...there's more to it." He turned his head to look at Katya. "You really saw him, didn't you?"
"Yes."
"My name...is Trafalgar D. Water Law."
"D?" Katya gasped.
"...yes."
Katya put her hand on his chin. "I'm glad you told me." She smiled fondly. "By the way...there was something else he said that stuck with me."
"Hm?"
"He said that his choice was to love you and saving your life was something he did because of that, and he didn't regret a single action he took."
Law fought back tears and he hung his head.
"That love for you...it's something Cora-san and I have in common." Katya said gently. Law's surprised gaze met hers and she grinned. The two brought their lips together and Katya felt tears run down Law's cheeks as they did.
"So you'd better not die." She whispered as she rested their foreheads together. Law held her close and, despite everything happening, there was a small moment of happiness and peace in the Flower Field. The sunflowers glowed yellow and swayed gently in the breeze as the two Heart Pirates held each other tight.
"Do you have to do that in front of me?"
"SHUT UP, CABBAGE!"
Watching Luffy smash Doflamingo into the ground was one of the most satisfying moments of Katya's entire life. The Birdcage disappeared and Doflamingo lay spread eagled on the ground. Law had grabbed Luffy out of the air from the rooftop they moved to.
"He did it..." Katya breathed.
"T-The winner is...LUCY!"
Law bowed his head down into Katya's chest and she held him tightly. "It's over..."
'They fight for what they love.' Katya had said about the Straw Hats. 'They fight for their friends and they fight to be free. They just happen to save people on the way.'
Maybe Law was starting to believe that.
The entire country cheered loudly and cries of joy could be heard everywhere. The effect of the healing that Princess Mansherry had given Katya was beginning to wear off, but she too smiled happily.
'I hope you're watching up there, Corazon', Katya thought to herself.
"I don't mean to bother you, Law, but I got shot earlier..."
"Ah." Law's head lifted and he used his Room to remove the remnants of the bullet that Doflamingo had shot Katya with before the two laid down side by side, exhausted.
"You know," she said with a weak smile. "I sang to distract some idiots in the factory."
Law snorted, his first smile for a while. "Which one?"
"Doctor, Doctor." She grinned.
"Katya-ya, singing as a distraction isn't a good strategy."
"It works on you."
"That's different."
"Tch." Katya pouted.
"Katya-ya, thank you helping bring down the SMILE factory, and for all you have done whilst we've been here." Law said quietly.
"Just part of being a Heart Pirate." Katya grinned tiredly and she scooted closer to Law, laying her head on his chest.
