Chapter 6: Misplaced Heart
"Oi, Shachi." Valerie said to get the perverted man's attention. His eyes were slightly clouded over and a drop of blood from his nose was threatening to roll down his face. He turned his head toward her as they stood outside Law's door.
"Yeah?" he said to tell her she had his attention though it didn't seem that way.
"It's useless to show me around now. I don't have my glasses so I wouldn't be able to see to remember where things are."
"Okay, so what do you want to do?"
"Hm." Valerie tapped her chin in thought. "I guess I could just walk around with you while you do whatever you need to." Shachi nodded and lead Valerie to the Control Room.
When they arrived, Shachi held up his hand in greeting. The other men did the same. "Hey guys. Valerie is going to be hanging out with us today." A few guys fist bumped the air. Shachi led her over to a chair and helped her sit. "If you need anything just call out my name, okay?" she nodded and he turned to go to another part of the large room that was close by.
"Wait a sec. Where's Penguin?" Shachi looked around then beckoned Penguin over. Valerie stood up again. When he was in front of her she pulled his face close to hers. "I never got a chance to actually look at your face. I hope you don't mind." Blood poured from Penguin's nose. He quickly pulled out a handkerchief and pinched it to stop the bleeding.
"'t's f-fine." He said with a shaky voice. Valerie smiled.
"You're really cute, ya know." Penguin fell to the ground unconscious.
"And Penguin is down. Defeated by a nearly blind girl, oh the shame!" Shachi said in an announcer voice. Valerie hissed at him for the blind crack.
Penguin lay motionless on the ground. His body twitched every now and again. Valerie looked down at him with a worried expression. "You okay?" She asked and poked his cheek with a stick that appeared out of nowhere. "Shachi I think he needs to go to the infirmary." She asked when he didn't respond. Shachi sighed and lifted Penguin to his feet. He wrapped his arm around Penguin's waist and put Penguin's arm around his shoulders.
"I'll take him. Wait here please." Valerie nodded and, by some miracle, sat back down without hurting herself. Some guy came up to her when Shachi turned and left the room.
After putting Penguin in the infirmary with an ice pack on his head, he reported to Law's room. Once he had permission, He opened the door and stepped in, shutting the door behind him. "Captain, Penguin is currently unconscious in the infirmary." Law raised an eyebrow in question.
"Valerie was 'looking' at him and said he was cute."
'She's becoming more and more troublesome.' He thought. He sighed and rubbed his temples. "Where is she?" he said noticing she wasn't in the room with Shachi. Normally he would've already released this, but having to deal with Valerie, even for just two day, was tiring him out.
"She's in the Control Room." Penguin said. Law raised an eyebrow at that.
"So you left her alone?" Shachi nodded slowly hearing the disappointment and irritation in his captain's voice.
"With pirates?" He nodded again not seeing the connection.
"Who've raped more than their fair share of women?" And then it clicked.
Shachi nodded again and a look of worry crossed his face. Law sighed again. "Let's go see what the damage is." He said and got up. He walked passed Shachi and down the long hallway.
He was astonished to see nearly half the Control Room crew lying on the floor in puddles of blood. What made his eye widen to a nearly impossible point was the sight of a very pissed out Valerie sitting in a chair, with her legs crossed, licking blood off her hands and eyeing her handy work. Shachi nosebleed-ed himself into unconsciousness, and fell to the floor in his own pool of blood. When he hit the floor Valerie turned her murderous glare onto Law. It was just as, if not more, intense as his own.
She licked the last streak of blood off her then placed her hands in her lap, all while never taking her eyes off Law.
Law was finding it exceedingly hard to believe that the seductive beauty who was staring him down was the same person as the squealing fangirl who'd nearly strangled him to death. "Valerie?"Law asked questioningly, in case the person before him was a split personality.
"Law."
'So she doesn't have a split personality. That's good to know.' He thought. "Why?"He asked.
"The bastard decided to try and feel me up."
"And then?"
"Some of the 'others' tried to get revenge for their slain nakama, which is commendable, but stupid."Law nodded and bended down beside the closes body to him. He was lying on his stomach so Law gently flipped him over. The man had a look of pure fear and utter pain mixed in his face. There were small spots of at the corners of his mouth and a slight bulge in his throat. His clothes were bloody and torn. Law looked closer at the tear in his clothes and released the flesh beneath the hole was also missed. He looked up to Valerie, who was still watching him.
"Where's his heart?" he asked and she pointed to her throat. Looked back down at the man and pulled a scalpel from his pocket. He cut open the bulge and, sure enough, there was his heart still pouring out blood.
Law sighed and wiped his scalpel off of a clean patch of the man's shirt and put it back in his pocket. He picked his way over to Valerie trying not to step on his fallen nakama. He gave her a light smack on the head.
"I'll forgive you this time since it was their fault, but if you ever kill a member of my crew again you suffer a fate worse than death." By now Valerie's anger had mostly subsided, so she just lowered her head.
"Okay."
