Hey everyone! I hope you guys have had an awesome week and (MANGA SPOILER ALERT!) OH MY GOD! THE GLASSES HAVE BROKEN! ( *O* ) I have to say I wanted to write a lot more into this chapter but decided to leave it where it is for today otherwise it would have ended up twice as long.

Okay kudos time!

Lots of sparkly thank yous to evalilly-pad and Rowanmay for adding this story to their favourites list ^_^

A sweet sugary thank you to Rowanmay for favouring and following me as an author. I hope I have my other projects finished soon for you guys.

And last but not least a Charlotte Linlin sized thank you to sarge1130 for the review.

Dear sarge1130

Lol yeh he was, especially when things started happening the same as the dream. That's very true, I didn't want any of the crew to not accept her because her joining was the captains decision and doubting that (I thought) would make the crew seem to not have faith in their captain, and that faith is important. As for the money thing I wasn't sure the value of the Beli, so I initially wrote it as if it was fairly low. like say a drink cost 80 Beli but in the real world thats only like $3. However I decided "screw it" and instead made it a really good day to be a Heart pirate. The treasure taken from Orlov's mansion was around the 300,000 mark (same as the Strawhats got from skypiea.). 5,000 to each crew member, lets say there's about 20 (including Law) comes to 100,000. Leaving still 200,000 in the Heart pirates funds, which means they are still pretty well off. Also Law said it was because they got such a profit from the last island that the crew was given the money (A little incentive every once in a while is good to keep the crew happy and morale up.) Who knows what will occur on this island, but a lot can happen in 2 days... I plan for Law and Enyo to team up more in the near future but not in this chapter "I'm sorry" ( *^*') Thank you for welcoming me back and you are most welcome for the update.

P.S Everyone; Tomorrow is Enyo's birthday! ( ^.^ ) Banzai!

Chapter 14 Island of Sinners

Law's group:

With everyone else busy with their respective duties Law and Bart made their way towards the city. Walking down the Main Street they noticed many wealthy looking people lavishly dressed in high end robes of the best quality silks and cottons. The women reeked of expensive perfume and heavily adorned themselves in ornate jewellery. Men wore elated smug looks on their faces and crowns that held no meaning whilst strutting down the well maintained cobblestone streets, off in their own selfish little worlds. Lining the streets were up-scale hotels, fancy restaurants and shops who's windows housed even more flashy things, Law also noticed there were a lot of pawn shops and money lenders around as-well. As the two reached the end of the street they were met with a huge building that resembled a royal palace, sure enough there was a large bright sign surrounded by glittering lights that said 'Royal Court Casino'.

Enyo's group:

"Hurry Enyo! Were gonna miss the fish!" Bepo whined, jogging on the spot while the steely haired girl scrutinised some funny looking fruits "Relax Bepo. I know I said we would hurry but I don't want to miss anything, it's not everyday you get an opportunity like this."

"Like what?" Dorian asked.

"This island is filled with nobles, and they only eat foods that are exotic and of best quality. So we should find ingredients here that are not only delicious but from all over the world."

"Ohhhh. You're so smart Enyo-chan!" Dorian complemented making the girl gush with embarrassment and giddiness. Bepo rolled his eyes and grabbed Enyo's wrist pulling her along like a little kid with his mother "C-mooooon!"

"Fine! We'll get the fish now!"

After the grocery shopping was done the trio decided to have some lunch before they headed back to the sub. They settled on a place that was on the outer part of town called Eddie's and was more of a tavern than an actual restaurant, but they still served food which was that main thing. The pirates sat at a table in the back corner of the room and perused the menus. Once decided, Enyo volunteered to go up to the counter, place the order and pay for the boys lunch as thanks for helping her with the shopping. Walking over to the bar she noticed some rather unsavoury men making suggestive faces, wiggling their eyebrows and puckering their lips. Enyo scoffed and turned her head, ignoring the sleazy men and proceeded to order the food. She was on her way back to the table when suddenly a loud 'SMACK!' resounded through the tavern "Heya sweet cheeks, why don't ya come n sit with us?" every word the vulgar man said fell deaf on Enyo's ears as she was frozen in shock, the world seemed to go in slow motion as the rippling of her posterior gradually ceased. She said nothing. Lowering her head she quietly went back to the table and sat beside the dumbstruck figures of Dorian and Bepo. "Tch! Rude bitch!" The man said before going back to his beer. Dorian's teeth clenched in rage and he began to stand up until a soft hand with a firm grip stopped him, his head snapped to the side to meet Enyo's stern gaze. The intense moment brought Bepo back to the present aswell, "Are you ok Enyo?" The bear asked, still somewhat in disbelief. "Yes, I'm fine." She nodded then turned back to face the livid young man "Please, Dorian, don't do anything." She said, her teal orb pleading for him to just sit. The dark haired boy abruptly dropped back to his chair and frustratedly glared and the pig who dare laid his filthy hands on such a beauty. His expression softened when he felt a gentle hand rest on his shoulder and looked at Enyo, who wore a small forced smile "Thank you." Dorian was about to speak but a waiter came over delivering their food, so Dorian thought it best to leave it till later... After the trio had eaten their food in awkward silence they left, but didn't take long for Dorian to let out what he had been holding in the whole of lunch "WHY DID YOU STOP ME?!" He stopped in the middle of the street and demanded. Both companions stopped and turned to him, Enyo pausing briefly before speaking "Because the captain said not to cause any trouble." she then simply turned and continued walking back to the sub. Once again both Dorian and Bepo were frozen with astonishment, yeah the captain said that, but he wouldn't allow someone to disrespect his crew like that. "We should tell the captain." Bepo said, "mm," Dorian nodded, brow knotted in concern.

After packing away the last of the groceries Enyo wiped her brow "Phew. Glad that's done... Now to take care of business." She mused aloud as she exited the kitchen, and then sub heading towards the inland. Bepo saw her leaving out of the corner of his eye while he and Dorian helped some other crew members load the ship, "Hey, Enyo!" The bear shouted as he swiftly patted over "Yes?" "Where are you going?"

"Shopping of course." She said with a smile, "I need clothes that actually fit me, among other things." By that time Dorian had noticed and ran over as well, he seemed slightly puffed out "Hey, what's going on?"

"Nothing, I'm just going to the city to do some clothes shopping."

"I'll come with you!" She was taken aback by how quickly he answered.

"Thank you Dorian-kun but it's fine." He was about to protest but the yelling of another heart pirate caught their attention "OI DORIAN! GET BACK HERE AND FINISH HELPING ME WITH THIS!"

"See, you're needed here."

"But what if something happens like-"

"I'll be FINE!... Relax. Ill make sure to stay away from pigheads okay." Both boys exchanged a worried glance but with another shout calling him back Dorian had to say goodbye and ran back to the sub. Bepo looked at Enyo before digging into his pocket and pulling out a small den den mushi "Here, call us if anything happens."

"Thank you Bepo."

"Please be careful..." The fluff-ball said, his adorable gaze yanking Enyo's heartstrings every which way. "I will." She nodded adamantly, and she set off to the end of the dock turning left at the sign.

Shortly after her departure, Law and Bart returned to the sub to see the grocery team sitting out the front minus their chief, and looking rather sullen "Hey, how did the shopping go?" Law said in his usual apathetic tone. "Good, for the most part." Dorian sighed. Law's brow furrowed in annoyance "What do you mean?"

"Well..." Dorian explained what happened in the restaurant at Lavender town and Law's face was in a deep scowl by the end of it.

"Did she do anything?"

"No."

"Did you?"

The sonar operator lowered his eyes from his captain's intense gaze. "...no"

"Why not?" Law's face was stern and daunting.

"She wouldn't let me..." He said still looking at the ground. At that moment Law's expression swapped from its angered state to one of confusion, brows still knotted he pondered aloud "But why?" "Because you told us not to cause trouble, Is what she said... I'm sorry." Bepo piped up. For a second time Law's feelings took a drastic turn to one of pure shock, though of course he would never show it on his face. "Hmmm..." A growling hum came from Jean Bart who had listened silently up until now. "What is it?"

"It's possible she still harbours a slave mentality. She's only been free for about a week so it wouldn't surprise me."

"What do you mean?" Dorian asked

"It's when a slave has been freed but still acts like one, if they're asked to do something they will carry it out without question and fulfil the task like their life depended on it, because more than likely it used to." Bart explained.

"But she always seemed so happy, does she really still think she's a slave?" Dorian muttered sorrowfully.

"It's a matter of habit not happiness." The captain said to his novice subordinate. "I will speak to Miss Enyo when we return, but first. Take me to this tavern." The captain said with a dangerous tone in his voice.

...

"Is everything alright captain?" Bepo said concerned, the three men (and one bear) had almost reached their destination but Bepo could tell his captain was uneasy about something, animals sense things y-know... "You said Miss Enyo left to go shopping in the city about 15 minutes before Bart and I returned yes?" "Yeah" Law's brow crimped in suspicion "Then why didn't we pass her on our way back?" Both the bear and the young boy's jaws slacked in surprise and worry for their mentally unstable crew mate, but before they could say anything they were at the doors of Eddie's.
