Title: I'll get even
Chapter 18: We're too late
The Heart Pirates weren't able to form their shock in a coherent sentence from what Rinka just announced. Not even a sound came out of their mouths.
Suddenly, the awkward silence was broken by none other than Thorn who started laughing. "Ahahaha, that is a really funny joke."
Her hands clenched into a fist as Rinka narrowed her eyes, annoyance written all over her face.
"I don't accept your gift because you're not leaving, Miss Rinka," this time it was Law who spoke up. Rinka kept silent and her head was bowed down a little, the long bangs covering her eyes.
"I'm leaving," she retorted, nonchalantly. When she looked up again, her expression was aberrant than from before. She looked at her captain with a calm expression of indifference.
There was no sorrow in her voice. " I'm leaving and there's nothing you can do about it. You said it yourself on the first day I joined your crew, I have the same freedom and privileges as everyone else did. So that means I can leave at any time I want as well, I'm leaving."
"What? NO, Rinka, you can't! If there is something that is troubling you then just tell us and I promise we can help you with it!" Zane stated, with gritted teeth. Not to everyone's surprise that out of everyone here, the white haired cook was the first one to start complaining.
"Get lost, " Rinka looked sideways at her crewmate, her expression cold. Zane was so taken aback by her sharp response he instantly closed his mouth but kept looking at her in wonder. It was because of her cold tone she used , like he was some kind of enemy rather than her good friend. The girl suddenly smiled, but it wasn't her usual warm smile, or her caring expression. Instead, she showed them clear malice, a cruel smile on her face and a mocking expression for the cherry on top.
She looked like a completely different person than the Rinka they all knew and grew to love as she looked at the pirate group. "You guys actually thought I would ever consider you guys to be my friend. You must be stupider than I thought. And now you guys have no more use to me , so long losers."
Everyone was looking at Rinka with shock and wide eyes. They were silent for a while, unsure of how to answer. Shachi was the first one to speak as he smiled nervously, unsurely. "Rinka...You can't be serious right? This is ….just a funny joke, right? And if so were not laughing." He was desperately trying to find reason within her words.
But Rinka just laughed right in his face. A far cry than the one she usually gave. There was only cruelness and mockery in it. " You're so naive, Shachi. You're nothing more than fools.
I was playing you from the start. This is the real me, I just play the part as a caring and loyal crewmember to you and everyone else in the Heart Pirates."
"Rinka...you can't.."Bepo was the one to speak this time, but his voice was neither angry nor determined. It was soft, and the bear sounded hurt.
"You're lying! Is it because of that strange cloak guy you were talking to in private!" Thorn shouted, which had everyone turned their attention to the short ginger.
"Thorn, please explain yourself." Law ordered.
Thorn then clears his throat. "Since I had a little too much to drink, I thought I was just seeing things.
But I saw Rinka walk into a dark alley and was talking to a man who was wearing a long black cloak. The only thing that I know about the strange man was his name was Malachite."
"I don't have time for this, I'm out of here." She announced while heading to the sub's metal doors. She stopped walking when a hand grabbed on her shoulder, belonging to Law.
"You're not leaving until you explained who Malachite is."Law demanded with a good grip on her free arm as well.
"Law ,get lost! You're not my captain, I don't take orders from you anymore."
"You're not leaving! Now tell me who Malachite is!" Law repeated himself again but this time even louder.
"I didn't want it to come to this, but you left me with no choice." She took a deep breath then dropped a small can which released a powerful sleeping gas that was even powerful enough to knock out Jean Bart as well.
She pushed Law away from her and opened and shut the sub's door then started running to her and Malachite's meeting place. Her face was wet with tears but quickly wiped them away, not wanting to show any type of weakness against that bastard.
About 10 miles away from the submarine, she finally found the tree with a smirking Malachite laying on it as well. Malachite grinned sadistically, his expression clearly showing that he couldn't wait to beated this girl into a bloody pulp. "Awww, I thought you'd at least bring your crewmates to witness your death." He taunted with a fake frown.
She unsheathed her swords and pointed to him. "For your information, I no longer belong to the Heart Pirates. They were nothing but simple dumbed minded fools just like you and the rest of your crew!"
Malachite raised an eyebrow questioningly at the purple hair swordswoman by her statement.
Then began to grin. "You know it isn't too late to take Jack's offer, he really seems quite fond of you. And you will be a great addition to the Beast Pirates powerful empire, since you're a pretty good fighter as well."
"I will never join you bastards...NEVER!" She shouted which also made her release a large amount of her Conqueror's haki.
"Oh..so I wasn't imagining things, you do have the Conqueror's spirit after all." He laughed out loud like that piece of information about her just brought him amusement, not even being scared or intimidated in the slightest.
She noticed the man was barefoot, but didn't seem to have any problems as he walked on the prickly forest ground. Then suddenly he pulls out one of his bones just like if he unsheathed a sword and not his freakin bone.
"Oh...of course, You have devil fruit abilities now."She exclaimed with rolled eyes.
He smirked at her. "Yeah, what do you think, Kaido gave me the Bone Bone fruit after I accomplished my mission. It gave me the power to manipulate my own skeletal structure as a means of combat and a bonus about this devil fruit ability is that my bones are now stronger than steel."
"I think it's freakin disgusting...NOW DIE!"
Rinka swissly lunged at him.
Malachite reacted and took a swipe to her. She dodged and grabbed a hold of one of his wrists, aiming a kick at him. He used his free arm to block and his sharp bone popped out as well and cut her now exposed flesh. Rinka let out a yelp of pain as her wrist was slashed and she stumbled back.
" I didn't know they could do that." Rinka thought as Malachite lunged again. This time, she evaded the bone swords and planted a kick squarely on his chest making him to be the one to stumble back this time. Taking that chance she had rushed him and with both of her swords in her hand, with a jump in the air she executed an attack 2 times . "2 sword style Raven Demon Hunt!"
Her eyes widened in horror when she realized that her attack had little to no damage by Malachite's bone shield. Putting his shield down, he could see the girl's shocked face.
"hahahaha...I will give you credit, it wasn't a bad shot."He mocked her.
She dodged sharply and was just in time to watch a bone fly by, mere inches from her nose.
Using her momentum, she did a backflip and charged closer to her opponent when she righted herself.
Malachite was standing directly in front of her, bone shape arrows were coming from all angles. She reacted just as she managed to close the gap between them by deflecting one arrow after another but before she was able to take a swipe at him. Malachite reached into his back and pulled out 2 long bone-looking swords in his hand.
Sparks emanated from both weapons and 2 split, landing almost 10 feet away from each other.
And once again they lunged for each other again. Malachite was using both swords to attack her front while she defended herself from both sides, looking for an opening in his attacks. "There!" His right knee was open and she took it, aiming a direct hit.
She had almost gotten him when his right hand came down and his right came up, forcing her to block again.
Rinka only had time to lift one of her swords to block as Malachite shot three bone-shaped senbon out of his finger. Since she didn't expect or even knew that his devil fruit ability could do that, she managed to block 2, but the third pierced her deep in the shoulder. She gritted her teeth in pain as her eyes narrowed, She gripped the senbon and yacked it out, a light spray of blood following the needle-like weapon.
"2 swords style, Heavenly Tornado ,'' With that single attack Malachite went flying in a make shaped tornado while getting cuts all over his body.
After he falls down Rinka puts her sword vertically upside down as a sequence to her horizontal attack. "Bear Demon!"
Rinka holds her swords parallel to one another and slashes them at the same time creating 2 parallel cuts. "2 cuts nigiri!"
She jumped high in the air, slashes both swords in a downward left direction. "Moon Crest!"
Then for her final attack she started spinning her 2 swords in front of her, charged to Malachite and then ended up in a crouched position with her favorite sword in front and her other one behind."2 sword style, Dragon Cry."
Malachite rushed at her again, barely injured after Rinka's mountain of attacks and Rinka raised her longsword, the adrenaline helping her to overcome the pain in her right shoulder.
"KEHAAAAH!" Rinka yelled, the power coming from her gut and released as a battle cry. The swords collided, the sound of metal clashing echoed through the forest, scaring away some nearby animals. As the swords met, for a while nothing happened, but then suddenly one of her swords broke under pressure and Malachite's swords got a good and deep cut into Rinka's chest.
Rinka bit her lip in annoyance. "Shit! My sword!" She fell down on her knees, panting, and stabbed her non broken sword in the ground for support.
Malachite's chest rumbled and then openly laughed, Rinka only stared at him in pure rage.
"This is better than I could ever imagine, you're already about to kick the bucket and it hasn't even been 5 minutes yet."
"Shut up! You're the one who is going to kick the bucket. Now stop holding back on me and fight with all of your strength!" She retorted.
She has never been so angry in her entire life from either at herself for being this weak or how the way Malachite was treating their fight like some silly little game.
But his facial expression suddenly changes from a laughing innocent child, to a bloodthirsty killer. "Fine, but you ask for it!" Malachite leered at her and grinned.
In a split second both of their swords colliding again making a louder echoed through the forest.
Then after 3 seconds when their blades meet, Rinka's sword starts bending little by little then
" Snap!" Rinka's favorite sword, the same sword that used to belong to Phyllis, her master, her big sister, her only weapon, was now completely shattered into little broken shards of steel.
"DAMN IT!" She cried out.
"hahahaha...what are you going to do now? You're completely defenseless." He stated with a smirk. Rinka began to crack her knuckles."I guess I have to beat you bare handed."
With eyes close, he was able to dodge multiple of Rinka's punches and kicks effortlessly, at the same time not allowing her to touch his skin. Suddenly his body spiked up like a porcupine when Rinka was close enough to get stabbed by his many bones that were sticking out his body. "AHHHh…"
"I think it's time to wise up, Miss Rinka. The odds are against you."
"Shut up!" She made another fist with her free hand then aimed a punch right to his stomach.
Instead of touching skin, Rinka's hand was now being impelled by one of his sharp bones that was coating his entire body. If that wasn't bad enough, Malachite started spinning while his bones were still poking out all over his body. Which makes the girl roll onto his spikey body and receive tons of cuts and scratches from her torso all the way down to her thighs.
He then grabbed Rinka by the head, tossed her up into the starry sky just like if she weighed nothing more than a feather. After Rinka came back down Malachite punched her right in the gut which made her knock down trees and even small mountains as well.
"No I'm not going to give up...I need to face my problems head on. He must pay!" She mumbled to herself while coughing up some blood.
Like if he was the devil himself, Malachite looked Rinka dead in the eye right before throwing her body again but this time with a lot more force. When Rinka's body made contact with the ground there was a crater that looked like a meteor had made it, rather than a scrawny woman.
"I-I still have some fight left in me...I'm not giving up," Rinka said while coughing up even more blood.
Then it became a cycle every time. Rinka would get up, then Malachite would either punch or kick and make her go flying into a nearby cliff or very large trees.
"Do you honestly think you can defeat me." Rinka's eyes were blank after feeling extreme pain right in the middle of her stomach like she was being stabbed . And to her horror she found a bone was completely sticking out to her stomach all the way to her back. "Ahhhhh!"
-Meanwhile in the Heart Pirates submarine-x-
When the Heart Pirates had regained consciousness, they had trouble processing on what just happened. Thorn angrily threw his hat to the ground. He cursed loudly out of pure rage.
"Fuck!"
"Thorn this is really important, do you remember anything else Rinka and Malachite said in their conversation just anything. And I mean anything." Law ordered, with a hint of desperately in his usually calm and cool voice.
"Please Thorn, you're the only one who knows at least something about the guy."Penguin pleaded.
"I'm sorry you guys, but my memory is still a little fuzzy because of all the alcohol." He stated with gritted teeth.
"Did he mention any type of meeting place or something like that?Shachi suggested.
Then a light bulb lit up in his head. "Now that you mention it, Malachite did say something about a tree."
"Everyone split into a team of 2 and go searched for her in the forest!"Law ordered and his crew responded with a yes Captain.
-x-
"Do you really think you're really my equal?...As punishment for your stupidity I'm taking away the most important thing that a swordsman as yourself treasures the most."
Rinka's eyes widen in fear, knowing exactly what he is talking about. "No please anything but that, please I'm begging you...not my arms!"
He began to laugh at the girl's pathetic state, "Okay, since I'm feeling generous, and I always had a little crush on you. I will only take your right arm since I know you are left handed after all."
"No what?! Get bent! I don't need your stupid pity!"She retorted .
Malachite then began to impale his bones after another onto her body, first the right thigh then the left. He then impaled 2 more bones on each of her shoulders.
He then held up his bone make-shape sword and with one simple slash, Rinka's right arm was lying next to her completely unresponsive. "AHhhhh aaaaaaaaaaa!"She screamed in pure agony. Where her arm used to be was now gushing blood everywhere, making her clothes completely soak in the red liquid.
"Malachite ….I-I'm still not dead yet...I am not giving up because no matter how much pain I am in right now. I...I...I..will..mak-e...you...pa-i..d." Rinka managed to mutter out before falling unconscious.
"There she is!" Zane pointed at her to show Law ,where she was.
Zane and everyone else who was with him;Penguin, Shachi, Thorn, Bepo, and Law, eyes widened in fear and pure terror.
To see their once happy and cheerful crewmember was now missing her right arm and had multiple white rods that kinda looked like bones were sticking out of her body.
Zane almost puked from the sight while Penguin and Shachi had both of their hands covering their mouths. Law was even taken aback by the sight, he had seen a lot of mess up stuff like this in the past, but this really took the cake.
Bepo was fighting back the tears from his black beattie eyes to see the person who had always stood up for him and never yelled at him once, was now bleeding everywhere from every part of her body and was missing one of her arms as well.
"Were..too late, damn it were too LATE!" Thorn shouted either in anger or sadness.
Malachite began to look down at the girl. "You stupid bitch, I thought you ditch those losers.
Now you have endangered the life of your stupid crewmates ."
"What do you mean? She endangered our lives?!" Law demanded clenching his Nodachi even tighter than he already was.
Malachite began to laugh at the group of Heart Pirates. "Oh, how rude of me, I guess I didn't introduce myself.
Hi my name is Malachite, a member of the Beast Pirates and also Kaido's favorite crewmember as well . And don't worry about her, she is still alive but barely. I made sure not to puncture any of her vital organs, but hurry, the clock is ticking."
Law slowly walked up to where the heavily injured girl was being pinned down, he gently picked her up and began to leave where the battle had been taking place.
No matter how much the group of Heart Pirates wanted to beat Malachite into a bloody pulp, the rest of them followed what their captain did with no questions asked.
Throughout the whole way back to the sub, everyone's heads were down, and no one even made a peep. "We found her...but prepared the operating room for surgery and also prepared for a large blood transfusion as well.''Shachi said through a baby Den Den mushi he carried in his back pocket.
After Penguin, Shachi, Zane, Thorn, Bepo, and Law made it back to the sub, the whole entire crew stood there, completely shocked by how bad the girl's condition really was. Since most of her clothes were torn off they could see she had many internal injuries and blood just covered the poor girl's body and was also missing a very important body part.
Finally after attaching her arm back to her torso and hours of working, Law was able to stabilize the poor girl. When Law was almost done hooking up life support into Rinka, he took one last look and noticed something. She was crying, tears were silently running down her face. Even in her comatose state she was mourning the loss of her battle with Malachite . If Rinka will ever wake up, Law would make her explain why she hates Malachite so much, to the point she kept fighting to the bitter end. Law signed softly and wiped the tears off her cheeks.
"Don't give up Rinka, otherwise Phyllis's sacrifice will be worth nothing,"Law whispered.
The many machines that kept Rinka alive were the only things that the Heart Pirates could hear right now..Beep!...Beep!..Beep..nnnnnn…. "Shit! If that happens again then I swear."
Thorn shouted in frustration but more in sorrow.
"Shachi, get Law! It's happening again!" Logan shouted.
Logan's heart was breaking even more by each minute he saw Rinka lying there completely motionless or sometimes struggling around in her sleep.
She has been in that critical state for an entire week now and still hasn't woken up or even shows any signs she is getting better.
-x-
"Died!" Rinka shouted when she tried to strike one of the men who just ruined her life. But her attack failed when Jack had easily blocked her attack with his devil fruit ability. When one of Jack's subordinates got a closer look at the person who had almost assaulted the all powerful "Jack the Drought '' he could see a young beautiful woman with radiant scarlet eyes and long silky purple hair.
When Sheepshead saw Rinka he gave her a creepy grin.
"Why are you smiling at me so much?"Rinka asks with an angry tone. But the man didn't respond to her question, instead he swiftly grabbed Rinka by her throat.
"You bastard , don't you even think of killing my child"Rinka's sister shouted when she saw Rinka being choked to death by a man with white hair and had 2 black horns sticking out of his head.
"You stupid bitch,do you honestly thinked I'm going to kill such a beautiful lady? She can bring a lot of joy to Jack. But I will kill you, Morgan Phyllis. Once everyone hears that I killed one of the Pirate King subordinates, I will go down in history."
Phyllis's face turned pale when Sheepshead said that. "How the hell do you know my real identity?"Phyllis asks with gritted teeth. "I told him. You shouldn't give out such delicate information, Miss Phyllis." A man with light blue hair stated with a smirk. "Malachite! But why, aren't we friends? "She cried out.
He began to laugh hysterically. "How do you think this assault was so successful?"
Before Phyllis could say anything else, Jack was holding 2 swords in both of his hands.
"NO!," Rinka yelled with tears running down her face as she was trying to escape from Jack's underlings that were pinning her down.
"I love you,"Phyllis mouthed to where Rinka was being held down before she was killed.
"I'll get even...I'll get even with you bastards! I'm never ever gonna let this go.. I will kill you and I don't care how powerful your captain is."
Rinka said with teary eyes to one of Kaido's right hand men. But he just laughs at Rinka's pathetic state.
"Do you honestly think you can defeat me? Now listen to me girly and listen well, you are too weak and you will always be weak. You are nothing more than a helpless little girl, just become my wife and you can be protected by a big strong man you desperately need. " "And YOU! I'll make you regret the day you were born." Rinka shouted while pointing at the traitor of the Vernal Kingdom. "Out of everyone in the Beast Pirates including Kaido. I Hate you the MOST!…"
"Beep...Beep...Beeeeep...
-x-
"It's your fault, it's all your fault. You couldn't do one simple job and now we're all dead because of YOU!" All of her dead friends shouted in anger.
"hahahahaha...It really is your fault. Isn't that right old friend?" The man she hated the most tauntly exclaimed with a wicked grin.
-x-
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Rinka had finally woken up after being in a coma for a week. The lights from the submarine were flashing bright red as she busted through the metal sub before she flew out of it and crashed into the ground screaming out in agony demanding to know where Malachite was.
It was a really good thing that the Heart Pirates were currently docked on an island or they would be drowning by now.
Law was in pure shock to be honest. She has gone through multiple and countless surgeries as well a large blood transfusion, heck one third of the blood in her body isn't even her's.
Even with Rinka's superhuman immense durability she shouldn't be able to move like that without feeling execrating pain from her injuries.
But it seems her quest to find Malachite was so important that the pain she must have been in was being completely ignored.
"WHERE IS HE?!" She shouted while running away even further from the sub.
He watched her as she ran around across the island while his crew desperately tried to sedate her.
"Someone grabbed her, she lost her mind."One guy from the group of Heart Pirates who was chasing her down shouted.
But the emotionally distressed swordswoman was too fast and was able to easily outrun them.
All of a sudden Rinka stopped from where she was standing and began puking up vomit with blood in it as well.
"Rinka, please stop this, you're killing yourself."Penguin pleaded.
"Shut up! I'm not a Heart Pirate anymore!"She retorted while coughing up even more blood.
"Please stop! We can talk this out if you just come with us."Shachi pleaded as well.
"I told you to get lost!" She shouted with a deadly look in her eye.
"This is getting us nowhere, you're coming with us even if we have to drag you back by the hair."Jean Bart stated while charging at the girl.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
The Heart pirates stood there in disbelief after watching Jean Bart had suddenly collapsed on the ground. Then everyone else copied what he did by collapsing on the ground as well, but only Penguin, Shachi, Bepo and Law weren't affected by the girl's powerful Conqueror's Haki.
While Rinka was running away from the group who didn't pass out, she was demolishing multiple trees and flattened a small mountain by throwing a rock that was 10 times her size at it.
Law was a doctor and while he had let Rinka go on a rampage in hopes she simply tired herself out, but this has gone on long enough. No doubt by now all of her wounds were starting to reopen and he wasn't going to let all of his hard work go to waste.
Rinka was kneeling on the ground shaking and was out of breath with wild dilated eyes.
She looked like a demon, a freakin 'real demon and not because of her eye color but by the way she was staring at everyone. Her body was completely wrapped in bandages and blood was beginning to bleed through them. From her nose all the way down to her mouth, blood was running down her face.
Law then walked up to her say, "He's gone, you lost the -"
"Shut up! I'll find him and then."
Law stopped her there. 'Then what? You're heavily injured. He put you in a coma for a week and you're weaponless as well. What has Malachite done to you to make you go on a rampage like this. Because it has to be pretty bad and I'm not leaving you until you tell us."
Law grabbed her hands and then pulled into a gentle hug. The girl was shocked for a moment before burying her face into Law's chest and started crying.
The 2 sat on the ground while hugging each other.
After a while Rinka came to her senses in some way and crawled away from Law. She leaned back against a nearby rock and curled her body into a ball. Her body was still aggressively shaking and large fat watery tears continually ran down her bandaged face. Then she raised her arm and slammed her fist into the rock behind her again and again.
"Damn it! I'm So Weak! Every Time I Think They Can't Take Anymore From Me That Damn Pirate Crew Always Does! They Have Taken My Master who is also the best Big Sister that anyone could ask for. My knight squad that I loved so much, And Now my favorite sword that used to belong to Phyllis! I Can't Let You Guys Die Too!" Rinka cried in agony,
"Avenging My Master! Yeah Right! I'm So Weak That I Couldn't Even Land A Good Hit On That Bastard! He Didn't Treat It Like A Real Fight, It Was Only A Game To Him!"
Rinka then looked at her hands and began to crawl at them when she began to have a flashback when she lost Phyllis. "Get it off, get it off, get it off, her blood, get it off. Get her blood off of me!"
Law heard her rants and walked up to her once more and stopped her fist from hitting her now bloody hand against the rock once more and said, "Stop, that's an order."
"Let Go Of Me! You're not my captain!"
"I can't do that Miss Rinka. I am your Doctor and I will not let you continue to hurt yourself more than you already have!"
"I'm a doctor too, I don't care what you think! Now Let Me Go!" Rinka shouted as she attempted to punch Law with her free hand only for the dark doctor to catch her fist right in mid air.
"If you're really a doctor then you must know how much this isn't helping your recovery."Penguin stated as he walked closer to the pair.
" Please tell us what Malachite has done to you besides cutting your arm off and putting you in a coma.''Shachi added, knowing she was already holding a grudge against Malachite before he did that .
Rinka buried her face into her arms and continued to cry to her heart out.
She was crying so much she didn't even notice that the rest of the crew had regained consciousness and were now staring at her with the same worry expression as Law, Bepo ,Penguin and Shachi had on their faces.
"He..he..is the reason why my country is nothing more than dust. He was actually an undercover spy who was working for Kaido.
I trusted him for 3 years, I thought he was a man with honor. I even looked up to him.
But after his 5 years undercover work was over, he laughed while watching the same country who treated him with nothing more than kindness was now being completely demolished by Kaido himself and his whole army of his crew as well .
Malachite couldn't care less the amount of lives his crew had taken; he was just having fun as the mayhem went on.
Out of everyone in the Beast Pirates I hate Malachite the most and that is really saying something. Since he was the one who revealed all of Vernal Kingdom's weaknesses to his stupid captain and that is why I blame him the most for why my country is nothing more than ashes."
"If you want to kill Malachite so much, then why didn't you ask us for help?" Law asks the question that is hanging over everyone's heads.
Rinka bit her lower lip. "I didn't want to drag you guys with my stupid problems. The reason why I wanted to leave the crew before my fight with Malachite, was just in case I died and I didn't want you guys to mourn over my stupid death. You see, after that son of a bitch Kaido destroyed my country, my only goal in life was to kill Malachite. Since I have nothing else to lose.
My original plan was to beat up and escape from whoever was going to buy me at the auction house. But my plans had changed when I met you guys. At that time I was so lonely and heartbroken I accepted Law's offer to join his crew without that much of a struggle.
But if I do manage to kill Malachite then I will be on Kaido's top list of enemies, and I can't let anyone else carry that burden but me. Law, please you must understand, I can't be in your crew anymore. I'll be nothing more than a burden, I am not worth it. And please don't make me go through that pain again, I can't take it anymore. Watching your loved one's die right before your eyes and you can't do anything about it...it's just too much for me. Please don't make me go through that pain again! I just want to be alone! "
Law let out a deep sign.
"Has anyone ever told you that you suck at lying. You don't want to be alone and no matter what, you're still a Heart Pirate. And as a crew we look out for each other no matter what. What do you say, fellow nakama." Law stated while stretching out his hand for her's.
She slapped his hand away from her. "No, now get lost! I am nothing more than a traitor! All the time that I spent with you guys was nothing more than a joke to me. Just kill me, I deserve it."
Law began to smirk but in a gentle way. "That wasn't a question, that was an order as your captain. Either way you're stuck with us if you like it or not. "
Then more tears started pouring down her face. "I'm sorry...please forgive me, I don't deserve this. I'm sorry for hurting you all physically and emotionally. Take me back! Take me back to the sub." She pleaded while kneeling down.
"Of course we will, but I suggest putting on something first." Thorn suggested as his eyes stared down at her figure with a slight blush on his face.
Law, Penguin, Shachi, and the rest of the Heart Pirates suddenly became aware of the young female swordsman's state of clothing.
In all the commotion with Rinka running off they had forgotten that she was basically wearing next to nothing but the shredded remains of her pants and bandages. And with all her running and flailing around many of the bandages had come on done or were loose. In fact the only bandages that were covering her most important areas were hanging on by a thread.
It was silent for a few seconds when Rinka glanced down and screamed.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHh! Oh My God! I'm Naked!"
Rinka grabbed a large leaf from a nearby plant and covered her chest with it and hid behind Bepo. The poor bear was quite flustered by this but let her hide behind him nonetheless.
The rest of the Heart Pirates had turned away looking at anywhere, but at the female swordsmen.
Thorn and Zane were looking at the ground and Law was covering his eyes with his hat, while everyone else just looked at the sky. Each pirate had some type of blush on their faces from the barely noticeable tin of pink on Law's tanned face to the bright red tomato that covered Rinka's cheeks at the realization that she had been running around basically half naked in front of a bunch of men.
"Room."
Law's classic yellow and black hoodie suddenly appears on Rinka's torso .
"Thanks." She mumbled quietly while looking up to the sky.
"Malachite! I will kill you someday. Since you already took away my weapons then I will punch you to death! If you take away my arms then I will kick you to death! If you take away my legs then I will bite you to death! If you take away my teeth then I will yell at you to death! If you take away my voice then I will stare at you to death." She shouted while still looking up to the big blue sky.
Law slowly carried Rinka back to the sub. After all of the emotional and physical labor she had gone through, plus the fact that she had just woken up and was still heavily injured had finally caught up. Her legs gave out halfway to the walk back to the submarine.
Thank you for reading.
Note- Rinka does not have a blood related big sister or mother. Rinka and Phyllis's relationship was more like little and big sister, than like mother and daughter.
Rinka's mother, her master, her big sister are all the same person whose name was Phyllis as well. Rinka does not have any blood related family members that you don't know of, but I do.
"Hehehehe.." just wait for future chapters. ;)
