Author's Note: I recently just finished "Get Back Home" so I'm going to update this story for a while. Please expect some updates over the next few days; anywhere from 3 - 5 by the end of this week. I hope you're enjoying thus far because this story shall soon jump to the PUNK HAZARD Arc. So, if you're not caught up to there then there could be some spoilers, also, when we arrive to that Arc it's going to go a little AU but it will get back on track afterwords. Please enjoy, and don't forget to review! Thank You!
Breakfast was a very busy time aboard Law's sub as the kitchen staff hustled and bustled about trying to make food for the whole crew. By the time Velica had awoken, everyone had already went into the dinning area and begun eating. She would not have slept so late had it not have been for the noisy roommates she now had to put up with. She groaned, sliding out of bed she glanced over and noticed that there was a uniform sitting on the chair across from her with a note that told her that this was to be her outfit.
"Like hell," she thought, throwing the note back onto the table and dressing herself in her normal attire. Though she was now part of Law's crew, she still was not about ready to stuff herself into one of those overly-hot, large, white jumpsuits. She made her way into the dinning area and scanned the room for Law. Though, it wasn't hard to find him as he was the only one in the whole white room that wore a colored outfit; aside from Bepo. As she approached his table she noticed that everyone had toast on their plates and it made her curious as to weather or not Law's plate would have some as well.
"I see you still don't like bread." Velica chuckled, taking a seat across from Law and looking at him with great intent. Law didn't even bother to look up from one of his many books as he slowly took a sip of coffee.
"And I see you still don't like taking orders when it comes to a dress code." Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin all watched and listened carefully to the duo's conversation and how they interacted with one another. Velica made a loud high pitched sucking sound in between her bottom lip and her teeth for a second before her smirk widened.
"You should be pleased with it though. Had I taken to dress codes you would have never told me apart from our Captain's prostitutes." Law's eyes shifted from the black text in his book to her mischievous eyes that watched him so closely by the word "Captain". He narrowed his eyes, knowing that she brought up Doflamingo on purpose just to see how he would react and he wasn't about ready to give her the pleasure of the reaction she wanted to see.
"Then perhaps it's time to start learning how to take orders first. After all, neither one of us is under Joker's thumb of rule, and I am your new captain." Velica shifted her eyes down to the wooden table as her fingers traced circles around the smooth surface with a rather bored expression on her face.
"Last I recall, you didn't enjoy taking order either or am I wrong?"
"I am your captain and you shall do as I command or else you'll be punished," Law said, closing the book loudly with one hand and leaning up from his chair. Velica and Law were both locked in a heated stare-down that shook even his own crew, but with Velica it was just a little temper tantrum that was being thrown by Trafalgar Law.
"And I can assure you, Velica, it will be a thousand times worse than anything you've ever been through with Joker." Velica blinked, she knew Law meant every word that seeped from his mouth but it made her curious as to just how he would end up punishing her. She pulled herself back from the table and glanced away from Law for a split second before looking back at him.
"You're right, sorry." Law's mouth dropped slightly, he didn't expect the woman to apologize to him and in front of others. He quickly closed his mouth as the shock that was on his face washed away and his normal appeal returned.
"But, perhaps you could give me a suit that is a bit smaller? I can't fit into that, it's far too bulky and it would be hard for even me to move about." There was a short pause, and Velica didn't know what was going through Law's mind right now because his face was currently unreadable.
"I'll see what I can do." She smiled, kindly for the first time since she had seen Law again and thanked him.
"I do have a question for you though," Law stated, just as Velica was getting ready to leave the table to go get some food. "Where did you wander off to the other day when we docked?" Velica rolled her eyes. She knew Law still didn't trust her and of course he had every right to not trust her, she was of course once part of Doflamingo's crew just like him, and just like Law, she knew that it was hard to trust other members of Doflamingo's crew.
"I went to the bookstore and bought some reading material." She told him, standing up from the table and starting to walk away. With her back facing Law and walking past Penguin and Shachi, she patted both of the boys on the shoulder as she passed by.
"And if you don't believe me, you can ask your lovely crew who decided to follow me there." Penguin spit out his milk while Shachi coughed on a piece of bread that went down the wrong way. Law smirked, so it seemed that she still had her touch when it came to spies. Maybe she would end up coming in handy for later down the road.
