Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece

To Apple Jack: I have never read that story and I do not plan on doing so. Perhaps if you got an actual account, we could speak in further detail without taking up other readers time if they find this somewhat interesting. I wish you a good day or good night.

Start

Law was surprised when Ariun stopped walking and started to look around, "Ariun-ya?"

"Law have you been to this part of the island before?" He was surprised by the question and how tense Ariun was.

He looked around and frowned deeply, "No."

Ariun grimaced and opened her mouth to speak when someone chuckled, "Well, well, well what do we have here?"

"A pair o pirates," Law turned and found three men behind them.

"Baby ones too," Law turned his head and found three men walking out of an alley in front of them.

"What should we do with them?" One of the men asked.

Law was silently cursing the fact he didn't have Bepo with them and the fact he had left his nodachi with the bear. Ariun moved closer to him as one of them suggested, "Capture them?"

Ariun drew close to him until he could feel the slight warmth of her against his arms. She spoke quietly enough that only he could hear her, "There are six more on the roofs. Bounty hunters from the look of it. The ones on the roof have guns pointed at us and by the small clicking sound I'm hearing, they're ready to shoot us."

He was slightly amazed at how keen her senses were before pushing it down as he contemplated what to do. They were surrounded on all sides by these people. It was quite obvious that these men were looking for an easy payday since they thought that they were 'baby' pirates which to those men obviously meant weak pirates. He felt slightly angry upon hearing that, but knew it would be useful to them. He spoke in the same soft tone as Ariun, "Do you have any weapons on you?"

"Yeah a few daggers, my scarf, and my staff," She answered while watching the chattering bounty hunters carefully, "Why?"

"May I use one of your daggers?" He asked and gained a slight nod from her, "I'm going to create a Room. Will you be able to take care of the gun men?"

I considered the distance between us and the walls before nodding slightly, "Yeah, but it'll be hard to get to the walls and have time to climb up while they're shooting at us."

"Do you trust me?" Law asked to my surprise and I looked at him for a few moments before nodding, "I'll get you to the roofs. Just worry about taking out the gunmen without getting hurt,"

I nodded while wondering how he was going to do. I tensed my body slightly to be ready for anything while carefully grabbing one of my daggers. I moved closer to him which made the bounty hunters laugh and someone shouted, "Looks like the little girl is scared and wants her boyfriend!"

I rolled my eyes while handing Law the dagger. He took it while I murmured, "I'm ready whenever you are."

"Where's the closest gunman?" He asked while eyeing the people around us.

"On the right roof, close to the edge," I tilted my head slightly and caught sight of the man, "He's standing with one foot on the railing aiming his gun at us,"

Law nodded his head, "Got it," He held out his hand and called out, "Room."

The blue sphere of his room expanded around us and I felt electricity run across my skin as it passed over me. I resisted the urge to shudder as one of the bounty hunters shouted, "What the fuck?!"

"Shambles," The air around me shifted and suddenly I found myself standing where the gunman had been, "Welcome to my room, let's have some fun shall we?"

I shook off my shock and darted towards one of the shocked gunman. He barely had time to turn his head towards me when I was on him. I pulled out one of my daggers and dug it into his throat. He struggled even as I tore my dagger out of him and I grimaced slightly at the warm feeling of blood splashing against my cheek. I grabbed his gun and aimed it at the gunman on the building across from me. I pulled the trigger and watched as the man dropped with half his head gone in a shower of gore. I dropped the gun and moved quickly towards the other gunman on this roof. He barely had his gun aimed at me before I slammed into him with my dagger. I knocked the gun away from me and slashed his neck open with my dagger. I dropped to the ground quickly after that and heard gunshots. Bullets buried themselves into the roofing. I jumped up with the dead gunman's gun in hand and aimed at the gunner across from me. I shot at him and was rewarded with a spray of blood gushing from his throat. I palmed my dagger and tossed it towards the last gunman just as he aimed his gun at me. I dropped to the ground once more and waited for something to happen. I heard a scream of, "My eye!"

I picked myself up and found the gun man clutching at his bleeding eye. I was slightly disappointed that the dagger hadn't had enough strength to burrow itself into the guy's skull, but decided it didn't matter. I palmed another dagger and shot it towards the last gunman though this time I aimed at his throat. Once the dagger hit, I moved to the roof edge and noticed that Law had remaining bounty hunters taken apart. I jumped down and Law looked at me as I said, "Gunman are taken care of. I need to grab the two daggers I used to finish off the last one."

"Grab them," Law ordered and I nodded to him.

I made my way over to the building and climbed up. I looked at the dead man with my daggers buried inside of him. He was still clutching at his throat even in death. I grabbed my daggers while eyeing the one that should have been embedded in the guy's skull. It was dull making me frown deeply. I had done all my weapons maintenance yesterday before we left to do surveillance. I looked at the man carefully and listened to see if something was odd. I was surprised to hear faint breathing. I grabbed the man and jumped down. Law looked at me as I dropped the man onto the ground and I answered the unasked question, "I did my weapons maintenance yesterday and one of my daggers is dull when I damn well know that every one of them was sharp before we left this morning."

"So?" Law looked at me in curiosity.

"This guy is still somehow breathing," I used my foot to point out the guys neck where blood was still leaking out of the hole, "I used my second dagger on his neck. It drove right into it, yet somehow he's still breathing,"

"Interesting," Law looked at the man before looking at the bounty hunters, "Does this man have a devil fruit?"

"YES! Please don't kill us!" Was the general response.

"Which one?" Law asked only for the group to shout out nonsense.

I grimaced at their shrill shouts and murmured, "We just kill them all and be done with it."

Law glanced at me before nodding, "The crew is most likely preparing for tonight."

"Can you cut off his head?" I asked with a slight frown at the bounty hunters gasps.

"You wish to make sure he is dead," Law stated more than asked though I nodded none the less.

"Just to be sure, I doubt his devil fruit will work if he doesn't have a head anymore," Law chuckled and his room expanded.

I watched as he separated the guys head from his body. I watched with some shock as blood began pour out of the man's severed neck. Law smirked at me, "In my room, I control what happens."

After Law finished the bounty hunter's off, they made their way back to the hotel. Ariun immediatly head up to her room as Law joined the crew members currently relaxing on the couches. Buck looked at him and asked, "Why did Ariun have blood on her?"

"We were attacked by bounty hunters," He answered the cook.

"Ah," He watched as his crew members relaxed.

They went back to what they were doing which was playing cards. He merely watched having no liking for the game they were playing even if it thoroughly amused him to see them curse when they lost. He was taken from his thoughts when Bepo said, "Captain."

"Yes Bepo," He eyed the box and letter the bear was holding.

"Someone dropped this off for you," The bear held the items out and Law took them carefully.

"What did they look like?" He demanded while trying to figure out what was inside the box without looking.

It was a regular wooden box like what one would usually store jewelry or something in. The bear frowned, "They wore a brown robe that covered their face. I couldn't tell what they smelt like either. I could tell it was a woman from the sound of her voice."

Law frowned and set the box beside him for now. He opened the letter and began to read it:

Dear Surgeon of Death,
I am quite sorry to have caused you or your crewmember any distress. I realize that she was one of the few zoan's to survive outside of the Grandline. You may not know this, perhaps you guessed it but never found any evidence of it, zoan devil fruit users are usually seen as monsters outside of it. The moment we eat our fruit, people no longer see us as humans. The only people who see us as people are the marines and pirates. I also realize that I probably shouldn't have mentioned the previous user of that fruit. It was very rude of me to do so. I believe that by now you are ready to toss this letter away. I will inform you of the gift I've decided to give your Kitten. The tail rings you were looking at earlier. They are made of a special metal made for zoan users. It will expand and contract with your kitten's tail so as to not fall off. I could go on about them, but I assume you wouldn't like to hear from me much longer. My daughter delivered this for me as I knew you would never accept anything from me. If you do not wish to given them to your kitten, I will understand.
My apologies,
K.Z.S

Law's frown grew as he placed the letter down and reached for the box. He opened it up and there were the tail rings from earlier. He closed the box and contemplated what to do when Shachi asked, "Captain what's in the box?"

"Nothing you need to worry about," He stood up and picked up the letter, "Has the sub been brought back to the docks?"

"Yes Captain," Penguin answered, "Everyone's checking to make sure nothing got taken and doing a few last minute checks on our supplies,"

"Good," He turned and began to walk towards the stairs, "I will be in my room until dinner. Do not bother me unless there is an emergency,"

I had just finished my shower and was drying off when there was a knock on my door. Frowning, I called out, "Who is it?"

"It's me," I frowned slightly.

"Is something wrong Law?" I asked while pulling on one of the hotel robes.

I had barely tied it into place when my door opened. Law walked in and I noticed the box in his hand. I frowned at it and was about to ask when Law muttered, "What the hell are you wearing?"
