Doflamingo paced back and forth in the throne room waiting on a call from Ceaser. That clown was suppose to have sent out an experiment in order to track and find Velica. It had been several days since he had heard any news and he was starting to become impatient. Finally, the Den Den Mushi started to ring.

"What did you find out?" Doflamingo sneered, wanting to get straight to the point. The voice on the other end was hesitant, which displeased Doflamingo greatly.

"Well, I was able to find her in the company of Trafalgar Law." Ceaser stated, unsure of how to go about explaining just what had happened.
"Well?" Ceaser cringed on the other line. Doflamingo's tone was anything but pleasant as he awaited news.

"She was found on an island with him. But she managed to destroy the test subject before any information was gathered." Ceaser heard something break on the other end of the line, it sounded like a piece of furniture hitting the wall away from the receiver.

"My patients is running thin with you Ceaser! Find the girl and bring her back to me!" The call ended with that, showing that Doflamingo was clearly pissed at the recent outcome of events. Doflamingo was fuming mad, beyond mad it seemed. It had been nearly three months since he had last seen the girl. Three months since he had the chance to touch her. Three months since he had the chance to hear her voice. Three months was far too long, and Dofalmingo was not a patient man.

"She will return to me." he spoke, his voice deeper than usual. His vein popping out of his forehead as he took a seat at his throne. Looking to his right, the heart shaped chair he had for Velica was empty. He griped his chair arms tightly.

"She will return to me... one way or another."

"Where are we headed now?" Velica pouted, her bottom lip being pushed out in a childish manner. Everyone had seemed to gather down in the main log room as the blinking lights on the screen showed the way for the sub. Law's eye twitched as he turned his gaze from the screen and sent her a confusing yet annoyed glare.

"You know, you've changed since you've been with us." He commented. Velica raised a brow, confused by his meaning.

"Your personality has done a completely 360 in means of how you've been acting." He explained. Velica narrowed her eyes and gave a scoff.
"Do you want me to be an ass to you?" Law smirked, knowing that her attitude was still there somewhere.

"You just don't act like the spoiled brat that you normally do around Joker." He said turning his head back around only to hear her sneer that was aimed toward him.

"That's because you don't annoy the shit outta me or expect the world of me. Dofalmingo is completely different compared to you, Law." Law rolled his eyes of course the bastard was different from himself. Dofalmingo was sick and twisted and a devil to the boot. There was nothing that was the same about the two men, not even their views on life even though it was a sick and twisted view.

"We're headed back to the navy base." Velica felt as if the air had been knocked out of her by an invisible force. She took several paces over to Law before grabbing his shoulder and twisting him around to face her.

"Are you crazy! What in the hell has gotten into you that would make you want to go straight to a navy base!" Law just smirked, knowing that she had no clue as to what he was planning next; and he loved it.

"Maybe. But I have a plan." Velica growled, annoyed with his tone toward her. He wasn't taking any of this serious and that's what she hated most about men, they never took anything serious.

"You're putting your crew in danger because you have a plan to go about to a navy base? What the hell type of captain are you!"

"You don't know, but our captain has been planning this for the last six months." Bepo said stepping in to try to help out his captain. Velica released Law's shoulder and turned toward the giant polar bear that dawned the orange jumpsuit.
"And just what type of plan is that?"

"He's going to offer them something in exchange for becoming a War Lord." Velica's eyes widened greatly. Law had been planning to become a War Lord? So it seemed that he was crazier than she had originally assumed.

"And just how are you going to go about this? You're planning on taking a spot of the man who was killed by Doflamingo, don't you think that's a bit of a bad luck spot for someone like you?" With every word that she spoke Velica watched as Law's smirk became larger and wider. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest.

"What the hell type of plan do you have anyway?" she questioned, hoping that he at least had a good one and wasn't just rushing in head first. Just because he had this planned out for the last six months didn't mean that it was going to go according to plan.
"Do you remember wandering down the part of the ship that I had ordered you to stay away from?" Velica did indeed recall that moment when she had found the door that made her feel as if something wasn't right. Her eyes told Law that she knew what he was talking about, but still didn't know everything.

"That door that my crew had found you in front of when you had screamed out, the one that was locked, you remember that door don't you?" How could she possibly forget?

"That is the room that has hidden away my planning from the last six months. Behind that door was a crate and inside that crate was the beating hearts of 100 pirates." Velica's eyes snapped wide as she felt her own heart stop. That was the reason why she had become so bothered when she touched the door. Her Haki that Doflamingo had trained her on had picked up those 100 hearts and the painful moments of when each of them had been taken from their owner.

For those hearts to still be beating was indeed sick. She knew Law's powers well and she knew that if those hearts were removed and yet still beating then it meant that the pirates that own those hearts were still alive, and he was more than willing to just hand over 100 lives to the navy in order to become a War Lord. Velica gritted her teeth as her hands balled into fists at her side. Her head lowered as flash backs of the pain and fear she felt when she touched the door raced back to her.

"You're a sick and twisted bastard, Trafalgar Law." she told him as he continued to hold that damn smirk on his lips. She raised her head and their eyes locked.

"Forget what I had said about you and Doflamingo being nothing alike... you're more alike than you give yourself credit." Law suddenly became furious with her words. He was preparing to bite back at her, but she used her devil fruit powers and vanished before their very eyes. Law's glare was fierce as thoughts rushed through his mind of just what he was going to say to that damn woman when he seen her again. How dare she compare him to that bastard Joker. He allowed his anger to subdue for the time being as he had to put his attention else where. His gaze returned to the screen as he started to give out orders to his rather shocked crew.

All the while, Velica hid herself away in the only place that she knew where to and so nobody would ever think to look for her. She hid away in Law's own quarters.
