Title: I'll get even
Chapter 15 : A night to remember
"Wow...You guys actually look like real gentlemen, even you Thorn."Rinka commented when she was visiting the guy's bunks to check up on them . "Hey!" Thorn didn't know he should take that as a compliment or an insult. She had already changed into her new purple sexy cocktail dress and silver high heels as well. But she needed Shachi to fix up her hair since he used to work at a hair salon and she has to admit he is a pretty skillful hairstylist. Law had chosen Zane, Penguin and Shachi, Lucas, Thorn, Logan to attend the ball.
The chosen crewmembers had stolen suits from some poor suckers the previous day, and they were now trying to look presentable. Lucas looked like a handsome prince making everyone else still look like low-life pirates rather than real gentlemen in comparison. Penguin and Shachi looked extremely uncomfortable, instead of wearing their classic white overalls they had to wear formal attire so they could blend in. Looking across the small room, she noticed Zane struggling to tie his white tie which also matched his hair color perfectly.
"And I thought all fine young men knew how to tie a tie." She said teasley which made Zane blush a bit. "Watch." She untied it and retired into a perfect knot for him."
After Shachi was done fixing her hair she headed back to her small quarters to touch up her face. First she dusted a little blush onto her pale cheeks to add some color to her face. With her already long eyelashes ,she put on only a thin layer of mascara and the smallest amount of eyeliner after she was done applying her mascara . Then finally for her last step for her makeup routine, she slowly swept ruby red lipstick across her plump lips. When she was done putting her makeup on,she slipped on her new pearl necklace, clip on her ruby earrings and stuck her small dagger in her handbag, also packing a few thousand Beri and her favorite scalpel as well.
"Wow...Are you a freaking princess or something like that?!"Penguin exclaimed loudly after Rinka stepped out of her room.
"What! NO! It's not like I am secretly royalty or anything." Rinka responded with a fake and uncomfortable smile.
"And what if you are." A familiar deep voice suddenly appeared in the conversation.
"Yeah, like you ever believe I am a real princess, Law."She retorted with a smirk.
She turned to face the dark doctor. He was sporting a black extremely expensive-looking tuxedo, his classic brown leather shoes, and a button-up shirt, and a black bow tie was perfectly tied. She had to admit,he looked quite handsome in his fancy getup.
As she worked on Logan's tie, she noticed Law was scanning her down like a tasty piece of meat.
She turned to him, finishing off Logan's tied, and gave him a smirk. "Like what you see?"
His mouth slowly curls into a smirk, the dress really compliments her sexy hourglass figure and shows off her long legs as well and her hair was put up into a nice well-done ponytail with 2 braids coming from both sides of her head.

The flashy lights of the mansion were in sight, and big groups of well-dressed guests were gathering at the over elaborate front gates.
Approaching the doorman,Rinka handed him her fancy VIP ticket, but the bouncer looked quite confused. Rinka, being observant as ever, knew what the man was thinking about . "These are my bodyguards because you know a beautiful woman like myself will always need the protection of a big strong man."She stated with a flirtation wink.
The doorman's face turned a bright shade of red and his words started to stutter . "Ev...even t-he kid ."he responded.
Rinka and everyone else tried their best not to snicker at the doorman's innocent comment but the short medic didn't think it was so funny . Collecting her composer she walked behind Thorn. Bent down to his height then put both of her arms onto his shoulders and chest . "Oh...this little guy is actually my baby cousin."
Thorn was red in the face from Rinka's sudden change of body language but still nodded to the doorman. A servant led the whole group of Heart Pirates down an extravagantly decorated front hallway. Law wasn't exaggerating when he's said the guy who screw him over was freakin loaded; masterpieces in pure gold frames hung along the walls, marble statues and painted porcelain vases were beautifully displayed on big fancy pedestals, and even the scarlet rug beneath their feet was luxuriously soft.
The doors led to a large open room with a polished dance floor in the middle and long lines of tables covered with a great variety of Grade A meats, exotic fruits, decadent pastries,and all kinds of expensive food on each side of the room. And fountains of wine, chocolate ,and cheese stool at the center of the food table.
The ceiling was surprisingly the most impressive aspect,though. Above the crowd hung 10 massive, diamond encrusted chandeliers, multiple crystals dripped like rain drops.
A small orchestra was set up in the far corner of the room, filling the air with catchy but elegant music.
"So...what does our target look like?"Rinka asks.
Law responded with his classic and smug smirk. " His name is Waylon Smithers. He's a man in his late-40s and is a short fatass with one hell of a ugly face and always has a cigar in his mouth. He wears a stupid small top hat on his bald head and he usually wears a purple trench coat that is way too long for him."
She hesitantly nodded then departed from the group. He watched her wander around the dance floor, then get asked to dance by a dozen men at the same time which she rejected all with just 1 simple word ."No!"
As he expected, she headed to the dessert tables excitedly, and picked up a slice of chocolate cake then dip her spoon into the chocolate fountain and slowly drizzle the chocolatey goodness onto her cake. "Yummy!"She muttered after she took her first bite.
Law finds it pretty funny how she would rather engorge herself in sweets then dance with fine young bachelors.
As Rinka nibbled on a piece of fruit, she noticed Zane was approaching her.
"Hey Zane. Has anything special happened yet?" She asked while taking another bite of her juicy piece of fruit.
"Not really, Rinka. The host of the party hasn't even shown himself yet and trust me Miss Rinka, his face is a face you will never forget."
The lights suddenly turned off making the room pitch black. Then a spot light was shining on the top of the stairs where a bald middle-aged man with a purple trench coat was doing some flashy pose.
"Hello party people, thank you for coming to my party! The night is still young so eat, drink and dance to your heart's content! NOW!... Where is my special VIP guess, the pretty girl who won that bikini contest. Everyone keeps on telling me how gorgeous the girl is and I am just dying to meet her!"
Not wanting to be in the center of attention, Rinka ducked down under the table that had a buffet of food, since there was a long white table cloth to conceal her presence. "Pss...Rinka, the coast is clear, you can come out now." Zane whisperly reported to her while crouching down.
"Go ask a lucky lady to dance, I'll be just fine." Rinka said while nudging him on his shoulder.
"You only live once, now get your lazy ass on the dance floor!" She gave him a light push away from the table, he chuckled then waved her bye and then searched for a dance partner.
After eating her third slice of cake and 2 ice cream parfaits, she spent about an hour and a half dancing with a dozen guys, making small talk, saying how much she loves the island she is visiting, and making sure she was far away from Waylon Smithers. Trying her hardest not to even make eye contact with him when he shortly glanced at her or the other attractive ladies who had attended his party.
While Rinka was drinking a glass of punch, she noticed Thorn had a devilish grin as he was walking closer to her. "Hey Rinka, can you do me a little favor?" Thorn asks.
She raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, what is it?"
"I need you to distract a few men while I pickpocket their wallets."
"Sure, but I want a 25% cut of the profits."She offered.
"That's fair." He then holds out his hand.
In that split second, Thorn and Rinka became the perfect pickpocketing duo. Rinka would distract 5 men at a time by simply showing off a little bit of her cleavage and batting her eyelashes. When the men are focused onto Rinka's flirtation body signs, that's where Thorn would snatch their thick wallets.
In the end,Thorn managed to steal 45 wallets and every single one of them was stuffed to the brim with thousands of 10,000 Beri bills.
While she was chatting with Penguin and Shachi, she could feel something or someone was tapping her by the shoulder. Rinka turned around, putting a fake smile on her face. "Hello my name is Ri…"
She stopped herself when she realized who had just tapped her. "Hello Fair maiden, my name is Prince Harry, first in line for the throne of Corona Kingdom. Excuse me, but you look familiar. Have I met you before?" He asks with widened eyes.
"Do you know a woman by the name of Riley?" Penguin and Shachi were confused by Rinka's sudden change of mood but their facial expressions didn't change one bit.
"No, but that's a pretty name as well. Would you like to dance with me?" Harry asks while kissing Rinka's right hand.
Quickly retreating her hand from the prince's gross and slimy lips, she slightly shook her head then quickly walked away from the group of men . "I'm flattered, but no thanks."
Making her way up the stairs , she leaned on the balcony railing and looked up at the starry sky and the beautiful full moon as well.
"Well, well It's really you Miss Riley or should I say; Scarlet knight Rinka with a bounty of 50,000,000 beri."Prince Harry exclaimed with his same wicken smirk that he had 7 years ago .
"Oh...so you do remember me."Rinka retorted while rolling her eyes.
"How could I forget the face of the love of my life. I was just devastated to hear you and everyone else in Vernal Kingdom was brutally manslaughter by one of the 4 Yonko. But you're here in the flesh, and still looking pretty as ever since the first day we met. But I just need to ask, how did you escape from the Beast Pirates wrath. The Newspaper stated that nobody and I mean nobody escaped or even lived to tell the tale. How did you become the sole survivor of Vernal Kingdom, one of the biggest countries in the New World? "
"Do you really want to know, it's quite a story?"
He nodded. She cleared up her throat then started explaining her not-so-great escape for freedom.
"Kaido's right hand man gave me 3 choices on how I'm going to live the rest of my life. The first choice was to become his wife. The second choice was being sold off into slavery and finally the last choice was death.
I would rather be a slave than that bastard's wife or anybody's wife for that matter so I choose the second option .
Last thing I could remember I woke up in Sabaody Human Auctioning House, and that's where my captain bought me, and that's how I got a bounty on my head as well."
"So you're a wanted pirate, a criminal who is wanted by the Marines.'' The bratty prince stated with a smirk.
"What do you want?"Rinka asks with gritted teeth.
"Hey,hey I'm not asking you to become my wife like I did 7 years ago. All I want is just one dance with you ."
"If I dance with you, you must promise me you're not going to rat me out to the Marines."
He nodded.
Rinka signed while letting his grubby hands hold her by the shoulders then started leading them to the dance floor. After the music stopped, Prince Harry was leaning for a kiss.
"Wait, wait this wasn't part of our agreement!"She angrily whispers into his ear.
Before Prince Harry's lips could even come into contact with her's, Law strode up, then quickly but fluently stole Rinka from the prince's arms.
Law then stood next to her and gently slipped an arm around her waist, kinda protectively.
"I would appreciate it if you won't kiss my girlfriend,"Law exclaimed with a smirk.
Rinka saw how angry Prince Harry's face looked after Law claimed himself to be her boyfriend. Law murmured in her ear, "I don't plan on letting you get lovey-dovey with anybody at this party, so if you need me, blink 3 times and I'll be your knight and shining armor."
"I can take care of myself, but I appreciate it," she responded while slightly elbowing him away .
"Ah...I finally found you, Riley-ya!" Another voice suddenly appeared.
Before Rinka could even blink, a hand that was covered with expensive-looking rings now had a firm but strong grip on her arm. "Shit why now?!"Rinka muttered quietly under her breath.
"I need you to come with me . My friends are just dying to meet my future wife," Waylon Smithers demanded while tightly gripping her arm and waist.
Then out of nowhere the large doors that lead to the fancy hallways were slammed open, with a huge group of marines with pointed guns at the now shocked party-goers.
"STOP..Right there Trafalgar Law with a bounty of 280,000,000 beri and Scarlet knight Rinka with a bounty of 50,000,000 beri! This is the Marines we have you surrounded,now surrender peacefully or prepare to die!"
She quickly slapped Waylon's hands off her waist, then immediately yakked out her dagger from her purse and took up a fighting stance. She turned her attention to her pissed off captain, who were signaling the rest of the Heart Pirates that their cover has been blown.
With one quick slash with her dagger, 5 Marines were now on the floor while rapidly bleeding from their throats ,killing them in an instant. She turned her attention to Waylon Smithers, who gave her a fleeting shocked glance, before hiding behind his many bodyguards.
But the person who she really wanted to attack was standing 3 feet apart from him. She swissly jumped then did not 1 but 3 backflips while still in the air. Then after she lost her momentum she held one leg and landed a hard kick right on Prince Harry's now bloody face.
"This is for breaking our agreement! You filthy PIG!" She shouted after landing the same attack she used 7 years ago on him. A man who was about to attack Rinka from behind, he stiffened and fell to the side with small needles embedded in his neck. She looked over, and stool a smirking Thorn there, with a handful of his coated poison needles.
"Nice shot! Short stuff!"
"Whatever, just keep your guard up! The battle isn't over yet!"He retorted.
In less than a second she kicked off her uncomfortable high heels and stripped off her dress, revealing her skintight, black, spaghetti-strap bodysuit she wore underneath just in case in this type of situation. Law and everyone else who is in the Heart Pirates copy what she did by yakking off their wigs or fake mustaches.
After one marine fire the first gun shot, she saw that the civilians had fled, relieved that hopefully no one was injured in any kind of way.
Rinka lunged forward at the group of marines then cut one man after another while still keeping a fair distance from them. Zane sent a handful of Marines flying with individual roundhouse kicks and punches, which gave her enough time to cut a big group of marines without them even noticing.
"Death-Lion's Song!" Then a huge blood pool suddenly showed up.
As Rinka looked across the battlefield, her heart sank to the bottom pit of her stomach, when she saw Shachi being pinned down and one marine was aiming a gun right in the middle of his forehead.
"LET HIM GO!" She cried out in pure terror.
The fighting stopped. The room was silent as well because all of the marines suddenly collapsed after Rinka left out a burst of her Conqueror haki.
"This power...it must be the conqueror spirit. But how does this woman possess such a great power?" A high ranking Marine muttered quietly under his breath before collapsing just like his fallen comrades.
Rinka heard a faint voice from the corner of her ear. "We need back up, I repeat we need back up!" Rinka spat. "Shit! More Marines! Let's go!" Logan hauled Waylon Smithers up on his shoulders then followed his crewmates out of the ballroom.
They witness the sight of more Marines that were stationed around the whole mansion.
Rinka slightly cracked her knuckles then started smirking. "Well, I've been needing a good workout. Can someone call the sub and get reinforcements."
Penguin quickly pulls out his Baby Den Den Mushi from his pocket while everyone else rushes into battle, fighting off the Marines.
She stole 2 swords from the Marines, then was surrounded in a cramp circled by more than 20 or maybe even 30 armed men, who either had a gun or sword in their hands.
They tried to surprise her by changing tactics and started jumping and piling up on her all at once. But their genius plan soon fails when she easily slips through beneath their graces, then starts holding up both of her new borrowed swords. "2 swords style Heavenly Tornado!" With only that single attack she made all of those Marines who were in a dogpile, now flying in a make shaped tornado while getting cuts all over their already wounded bodies.
Lucas grabbed one buff-looking Marine by his collar(who tried to attack from the back.)
And threw him against his fellow Marines and superiors as well, knocking them on their asses.
After fighting and cutting up a bunch of small-fry Marines for who knows how long, Rinka finally found a worthy and strong opponent, a large man that was pretty much the same size as Jean Bart, maybe even a little bigger was wielding a large spiky club in his right hand. She used his large size as her advantage by easily dodging his attacks, the more she dodge his attempts of striking her with his metal club then the more irritated he became. To taunt him even more, she leaped high in the air then did a backflip and perfectly landed on his muscular arm after he tried to swing his spiky club from behind.
Rinka held out her swords, jumped down from his bicep then made a deep X shaped cut right on his chest.
Rinka's face brightened in happiness and relief when she saw the rest of her crewmates had come to fight the intense battle.
"Retreat ,retreat!" Law shouted, while stabbing one marine in his stomach.
Being distracted for less than a second, she felt a huge tremendous sharp pain from her head, collapsing on the hard stony ground and started coughing up an alarming amount of blood.
"Come on! Back to the sub!" Law ordered, while making a passageway with his devil fruit abilities.
Realizing he is missing his only female crewmember, he swissly looked back where the fighting had been taking place, and to his horror he saw a giant man was overcasting the wounded girl ,and raising his spiky club to deliver the killing blow.
Filled with anger, he shouted, "Room!" switching locations with Rinka, not giving the large man any mercy,by withdrawing his nodachi and stabbed him through his chest ,piercing his heart in the process as well.
Law didn't even bother to use his devil fruit powers on the Marine when he cut the large man up into little bloody pieces . Law gently picks up Rinka then bridal-style carries her all the way back to safety.
After the two were out of eye contact from the Marines, he quickly but softly laid down Rinka behind some thick bushes to examine her wounded head, hoping it wasn't as severe as it looked. The bleeding was coming from her temple, where she was heavily bruised and cut by the spiky club, but luckily she only had a moderate head injury, nothing life-threatening or any long term brain damage . Just to be safe he scanned her head with his devil fruit abilities and to his relief she was still okay . But the hardest part would be keeping her in the infirmary room for at least a couple of days. The saying really is true, doctors really do make the worst patient, especially an extremely stubborn girl like herself.
He brushed away some of her hair, gently padding away some blood on her cheek with his index finger.
He took a moment to truly appreciate her appearance, he stared at her like she was the first woman he ever saw before in his entire life. With her defined jawline, high forehead, and full plump lips that were just made for kissing, Law's heart started beating too fast for his liking. It took all of Law's strength to hold the urge not to kiss the unconscious girl in such a state.
Then her eyes shot open and he jumped a few inches back, admiring the crimson color with a hint of purple in her eyes before realizing that she was giving him, "What the hell are you touching at?"facial expression. Then he registered that his hand still cupped her bottom left cheek and index finger on the corner of her lip.
He swissly pulled it back, looking away in a feeling he never felt before in a long time.
Trafalgar Law, the "Surgeon of Death '', the man who is known for being a cold-hearted ,cruel , and sadistic man, was actually blushing from embarrassment.
"We did it! We made it in one piece...that was so much fun, we should do it again sometime!"she laughs out in pure happiness.
