And thank you, StarliteOracle, for your lovely comment xD
Enjoy
After having docked on a jungle island, Law was starting to think that this was a bad idea. Especially when he saw the gigantic tiger standing behind Sally. Saliva was dripping behind her, bathing the grass. Law swallowed. He gazed over to his crew, who were cowering behind Bepo.
"As you might have heard there are three types of Haki, two of which every living being possesses." she started to explain. "One is the Haki of foresight. It allows the user to predict the enemy's movements and avoid them. Even when they are outside your field of vision."
While she spoke, the tiger lashed at her while but missed each time.
"The second one is the Haki of Hardening. This can harden any part of the body. It can be used both for offence and defence." she continued.
The tiger swiped its paw from the side but Sally hardened her hand and stopped the paw with one finger. The tiger hurled back in pain., letting out a cry.
"The third is the rarest type of Haki. The Haki of the King. Only 1 in 10'000 possesses this. It is the release of pure will power. The stronger your will, the stronger your Haki."
Sally turned to the tiger and he growled. She released her Haki and the tiger fainted. Everyone is stunned.
"But I don't possess that kind of Haki. So there's no point in teaching me that." Law told her after he managed to gather his words.
Sally seemed rather offended from that and walked up to Law. He was rather perplexed from her constant eye contact which she broke to and lay her hand on his chest.
"Something tells me it sleeps inside you, too." she looked up to him, smiling warmly.
She went on her tiptoes to whisper something inaudible into his ear and Law's eyes widened. It was not noticed by the crew but then she arranged a sparring round. The sun was setting and Law was panting while fighting Bepo who was also out of breath. Sally watched, silently. When both slammed to the ground, exhausted, she spoke..
"You guys can take a break now. Don't push yourself." she stood.
Law and Bepo sigh with relief. Penguin, who had been sitting next to Sally the entire time, chuckled.
"You're really are a tough teacher." he noted.
"If I go easy on them we wouldn't get anywhere." she replied.
Penguin looked at Sally and thought for a moment. Then he swallowed.
"Can you do us a favour?" he asked her.
She raised an eyebrow and while Law took a break, a small group of the heart pirates gathered in front of Sally. To her surprise they all fell on their knees and slam their heads into the ground. Sally looked at them with confusion.
"And how will I be able to help?" she asked with unsurety.
"We don't know. But the Captain is hiding a great pain." Penguin told her.
"I sometimes see him sleep. He is restless and agitated." Bepo explained.
"You're a 'D' right? So you can talk to him." Shachi insisted. Silence fell and then Sally understood.
"You also know his full name?" Sally asked them.
"Only we know. The rest of the crew don't. How did you find out?" Penguin asked.
"I have the gift of seeing a person's past in my dreams. Since I've been in your care I see his past in my dreams every night." she admitted.
"Then you might know more than us. Please help him." Penguin begged.
Sally looked worriedly at the group of men and then sighed.
"I'll see what I can do." she smiled at them and they all lightened up.
While the others went back onto the submarine, Law stayed on the island with Sally and he looked grim.
'The ones with the 'D' all have the King's Haki sleeping inside them.' he remembered her whisper this into his ear. What had she been implying? Did she know who he was?
"Trafalgar D. Water Law." her words snapped his mind back to reality.
"How do you know that name?" he asked her with slight hostility.
"I saw it." she told him.
"Saw it? Where?"
"In my dreams."
"Your dreams?" he repeated with confusion.
"I have a strange gift allows me to see a person's past in my mind. I see your's while I sleep." she explained.
Law started to tremble. He saw nothing but honesty in her eyes.
"Then, you know…." he mumbled.
"All of it." she confirmed.
"And why didn't you tell anyone?" he asked.
"Why should I? You must have a good reason for keeping it to yourself so I'm not saying a word. But I'm glad that you found your smile again. You don't know how much I cried at night while seeing your past. But I'm not the only one. You seem to suffer from your past, too."
Law was more than shocked. He could hide nothing from her. Sally pointed at Law's chest and gazed into his eyes.
"Corazon has left you something very precious. He gave you life again. But at the same time you lost him. I have lost someone close to me, too. You're not alone. You have your crew which are like your family. They will do anything for you."
Law stumbled backwards against a tree. She didn't back down and followed him. Trying to hide, he placed his hand over his face and grinded his teeth.
"Losing your parents like that, your sister and Corazon, this all has accumulated to a lot of hatred towards Doflamingo. All the pain and suffering you have kept that in your heart for 11 years. It only gets worse if you keep it in. Let it out, Law." she told him, or rather commanded.
Sally gently laid her hand on his head. Law clenched his hands into fists and pressed them into his eyes as tears started to flow down his cheeks. Sally waited for a moment and then pulled one of his hands away from his face. She closed her eyes, went on her tiptoes and tenderly placed her lips on his cheek. Law's eyes widened.
"It's okay to cry sometimes. Let the sadness out. Scream." she told him.
Sally stepped back and Law started to shiver even more, his breath becoming heavy and shallow. He gazed up into the sky and screamed. The crew hear it and flinch.
"What was that?" Penguin wondered, rather worried.
They ran onto the deck of the submarine and saw a tree fall in the jungle. In the distance they see Sally standing by herself.
"Sally! What's happening? Where's our captain?" the bear asked.
Sally looked in front of her with a stern look. The crew follow her gaze and Bepo flinched at the sight. Law was punching a tree repeatedly, yelling and crying. His fists were bloody and seemed to be in a frenzy.
"Captain!" Bepo called out and wanted to come to his aid, to calm him down.
"STOP!" Sally yelled.
Bepo froze and looked at her, utterly shocked.
"But he's gonna die." Bepo cried.
"You wanted me to help him." she reminded them.
"How is THAT helping him?" Bepo wept.
"He's letting out all of his sadness and anger. A boiling kettle will explode if there isn't any pressure released." she explained without remorse.
Law kept punching the tree, blood running down his hands, the bark of the tree already red. His punches slow down and then he stops, panting heavily before fainting. Bepo glanced at Sally and she nodded, giving him permission. The whole Crew ran to Law.
"CAPTAIN!" Bepo cried.
It's luffy all over again. HA! but it really is the best way to let out stress...although a pillow is probably better than a tree
