"Captain!" Law looked up from his book as the door to his office swung open, "Josh just spotted a merchant ship being attacked by a pirate ship not even 25 feet away from the cloud of smoke released by the volcano field! A marine ship is heading towards there at a slow pace meaning it'll be an hour or so before they can even begin to help the merchants,"

Law smirked upon hearing that, "Alright. I want the crew to get ready to attack. Where is Josh-ya?"

"On the top deck," Shippo answered immediatly, "Anything else Captain?"

"Inform the rest of the crew of my orders as well as inform Ariun-ya that she is to stay put," Law stood from his desk and grabbed Kikoku, "Go,"

"Aye Captain!" Shippo raced off.

Law smirked as he walked through the sub towards the top deck. He would definitely be increasing his bounty with this.

I heard a knock on the door and quickly slipped my shirt on before calling out, "Come in."

Shippo opened the door, "Hey Ariun how are you feeling?"

"Fairly well," I offered him a raised eyebrow, "What's up?"

"We're about to attack some ships and Captain wanted me to tell you that you have to stay in here," The man informed me.

I snorted softly at the order, "Shippo I'm not going to move considering the fact I'm still injured. I can't even stand at the moment."

"Oh," Shippo blushed slightly as he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "Sorry about that. I guess Captain just wanted to make sure you wouldn't try anything,"

I felt faintly irritated at Law as I waved Shippo away, "Go do whatever else you need to do. I'll be fine."

"Right," The man raced off after closing the door.

I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the couch. Honestly, who the hell does Law take me for? I'm not going to move around when I'm like this.

Law watched as they approached the first two ships of the three he planned on attacking as Josh noted, "The pirate ship is almost done with the merchant ship. If the water around the two means anything, the merchant ship had one or two ships guarding it."

"Meaning the cargo on that merchant ship is special," Law contemplated what that would mean, "After we get rid of the other pirates and the marines, I want that merchant ship to be searched. If anything, we'll be able to add to our supplies,"

Josh nodded in agreement while Law looked over the merchant ship. It looked like a regular ship, but something about it told him that it wasn't. Law trusted his instincts and would make sure his men were wary as they ventured onto that ship. Law turned his eyes towards the marine's and smirked. The battle ahead of them was going to be fun and would get rid of the tension that had been brewing since they'd left the last island.

Law smirked at the sounds of fighting and the cries of his enemies as they died under his hands. Rather than mess around like he usually did, he took care of the other pirate crew quickly. He knew his crew wasn't too satisfied with the action they were currently getting, but they would soon forget it once the marines attacked.

I was surprised when I heard cannon fire and wondered who was attacking. I groaned softly as my fingers twitched and muttered, "Damn it. I want to fight," I glared at my bandaged chest before sighing and leaning back again, "I need to calm down and just tune it out."

My ears twitched as I listened to the sounds of fighting. We must be attacking the marines or something. I wonder-My thought process was cut off as I heard the tell tale sound of footsteps heading towards Law's room. I listened carefully and heard the footsteps stop outside of Law's door. I frowned and wondered what the hell was going on when I heard the unmistakeable sound of Callen's voice, "...Ot to get to the bitch before Captain and the others finish the fight. Once she's dead, everyone will go back to the way they were and realize that the bitch has them under a spell."

"Well fuck," I muttered and activated my ability as the door knob started turning.

I almost cursed at the cold feeling washing over me and the pain that ran through my chest. I closed my eyes as I tried to ignore the pain and listened as the door opened. I heard soft footsteps heading towards where I was. Callen was soon looking over the back of the couch next to where I was sitting and cursed, "Damn she's not sitting on the couches," The green haired male moved towards Law's bed and pulled up the covers only to come up empty, "Not here," He moved towards Law's bathroom and opened the door before walking inside, "She must be in here."

"Bastard," I hissed softly as it grew harder to breath.

He walked back out a moment later with a growl, "God damn it where the hell is she?!" He began pacing around behind the other couch, "She has to be here somewhere. I've already checked the infirmary and the bitches room, but not there. God damn it! She'll ruin everything I've worked for since joining Captain..."

My eyes widened as he continued to speak and I mentally pleaded for someone to get Callen before my ability failed as it became even harder to breath.

"Alright. I want you to divide into three groups and find anything useful on those ships," Law ordered them, "Those going onto the merchant ship need to be on the lookout for anything out of the ordinary and report back to me immediatly,"

"Aye Captain!" They immediatly went to work.

Law turned on his heel and began making his way back inside. He would make a quick stop in his room to put Kikoku away and see how Ariun was doing before heading the infirmary to check on those that had gotten injured during the battle. He knew Bepo and the others would be fine raiding the other ships. Law paused in his walking as he noticed the door to his room was open before moving towards the door quickly. He frowned deeply as he wondered if someone had somehow managed to get past his crew or something. He reached his room and moved inside with Kikoku partially drawn. What he found shocked him...

I panted softly as I let my ability go and collapsed on the couch. Callen was on the ground not far from me with one of his arms sticking out at an unnatural angle and his eyes wide as Maki glared down at him. Maki's normally golden eyes were completely blood red with black surrounding the iris. He had large red veins pulsing around his face and along his arms. One arm was extended towards Callen with Maki's hand twisted slightly. I heard footsteps heading towards the room at a quick pace and hoped it was Law. I was proven right not even a few seconds later as Law demanded, "What the hell is going on here?"

I didn't even bother speaking as Maki hissed out, "This vermin was attempting to kill Storm."

"What?" Law made his way towards us.

"Callen came in not long after the cannon fire started," I croaked out as Law reached the edge of the couch, "He came in here trying to kill me because he thinks I have all of you under a spell,"

"Ariun-ya," Law looked at me in alarm, "What happened to you?"

"My ability to hide myself," My chest was hurting, "My chest hurts,"

Black edged around my vision and before I knew it, I was unconscious.

Law glared down at the unconscious form of Callen from where the idiot lay on one of the operating tables in his secondary lab. What Maki had told him after he had seen to Ariun had made him see red...

"Captain," Law looked at Maki after hooking Ariun up to a few machines and correcting what damage had been done, "Callen was speaking of something other than what Storm told you,"

"What did he say?" The man was no longer covered in red veins and looked like he usually did.

"He's said that she was ruining his work for the young master and that if he killed her, the young master would reward him," Maki grimaced darkly while shooting a glare towards the table holding Callen, "If that means anything, Callen is most likely a spy for whoever this 'Young Master' is and will betray you should he be ordered to,"

Law took a deep breath to calm and reminded himself that he needed to get an answer out of Callen. While he would like to just kill the bastard, he knew the idiot would have information he needed to take down Doflamingo. He would also leave killing Callen up to Ariun seeing as the bastard was trying to kill her and Law wouldn't have known of any of this without Ariun. He really disliked the thought of letting the bastard live after what happened, but Ariun deserved the chance to kill him. Law smirked as he woke the bastard up. Callen just wouldn't be in the best condition when Ariun got him.

Law left Callen in his secondary lab after a fun few hours of torturing the bastard and gaining information that he wanted. He headed towards his room to shower and get the blood off of him before heading towards the infirmary. He found Ariun still asleep and Maki watching over her, "Any changes?"

"No," The silver haired male looked slightly disturbed, "Seeing her like this, it's horrible,"

Law agreed though he didn't voice it. However, Law took a small amount of comfort in the fact that he would be able to take her off the machines as soon as she awoke even if he wouldn't allow her out of the infirmary for at least five days after what happened. Law checked on the machines as he informed Maki, "I'm keeping her in the infirmary for the next five days due to what happened. Yamire-ya, you, and I will be keeping a close eye on her. I do not know if her ability will have slowed her healing down or caused it to degrade."

"Aye Captain," The silver haired male looked at him, "Captain what will happen to Callen?"

"I will be getting information from him and torturing him until Ariun is healthy enough to kill him," Law informed the male gaining a chilling grin from Maki.

"Captain if you want, I can make sure he won't die of blood loss," Law felt intrigued by that.

"How?" Law asked gaining a small laugh from Maki.

"My devil fruit is the Chi-Chi no Mi meaning I'm a blood man," Maki's eyes turned blood red once more and he regained the veins on his body, "I can of course turn into blood, but this is my prefered form while using my ability,"

Law began to consider all the new options Maki presented him with and he smirked. Not only was he getting rid of a spy, he had just gained more options to kill Doflamingo with. A thought ran through his mind and he asked, "Can you use your ability to speed up Ariun-ya's healing?"

Maki looked surprised by the question making Law realize that he had never considered using his ability to heal.

I groaned softly as I started coming to. My eyes felt like they had sand in them telling me that I had been asleep for awhile. I slowly opened my eyes and was relieved to find that the lights weren't really bright. They still stung my eyes a little, but not too badly. I looked around and noticed Yamire walking towards me. He smiled down at me, "Ari-chan how do you feel?"

"Tired and sore, but not too bad," The pain in my chest wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, "How long was I out?"

"Two days," I grimaced upon hearing that, "I'll go inform Captain that you're awake, so don't move too much,"
