Here we are the revamped chapter 4!

To say the town was celebrating was an understatement. People were completely hammered as they were singing and chanting in the streets of the town. I was throw up in the air like some kind of hero when I came into town. Apparently Alex had done me the honor of telling everyone I was going to get rid of Patty for once and all. I guess they were holding their breath as they waited for me to come down the hill with word of victory. Well, the flames of the villa were pretty much all the proof that they needed. After being picked up the first time, I got the pleasure of seeing Trafalgar Law smile at my uneasiness. Smirking back at him, I told the people of how they had come along and helped. The young ladies seemed to appear out of nowhere as they swarmed him. The irritated look from him was satisfying to say the least. With the little victory, I started the drinking by opening a new bottle of rum and chugging half of it in one gulp. After that everyone was participating it seemed.

People left, right, and center were begging for celebratory shots. Not one for being able to turn people down I did them all. Thanking god for my past companions, as I had an excellent tolerance to the alcohol. I couldn't tell how far we were into the party when Alec finally came out and had a bottle of jack with him. After hitting him over the head with it for being out of bed, we drank the whole thing. Use and a couple of others reminiscing when I first came to the island with my idiotic friend in tow. He left, but I stayed and helped put the people who couldn't defend themselves.

Once light started to come around most people were either asleep in the street or being carried home. After making sure everyone was settled in for the remained of the night, as it would be day soon I grabbed Alec and we stumbled out of town. The Heart Pirates disappeared after some time, Law coming up to her personally when she had just polished off Alec and mine bottle. Barely making to the small cabin I had on the cliff we sat on the edge. We had done this a many a times, so falling off wasn't a fear. The sun was just about to start rising over the horizon on the ocean. Turning to my right I could see the bright yellow sub of the Heart Pirates. None of the crew members seemed to be up and at it yet. Well, I assume it's because a number of them got roaring drunk only hours ago.

"So, you going to take up their offer?" Snapping my attention to the drunk next to me, I gave him a confused look. Looking back at me, he gave a small smile. "I heard him talking to you."

I ignored him for a couple moments. Taking in the smell of the sea, even if it was kinda damp this morning. The sight of the sun rising over the horizon of the sea and the sky. This is what I wanted, the peace. But I couldn't deny that the adrenaline from pirating was something I long for, for quite a while now. Four years on this island wasn't much, but the peace made it seem like forever. Maybe that was why it made me itch for excitement. Just like setting those ships on fire just hours ago at Patty's villa. I was known for being a pretty violent little girl, Nico Robin and me were compared in just about every port I went into. It didn't help that I looked defenseless so people would try to kid nap me and I'd have to put them down. Those things aside, maybe I really did miss life on the sea.

Slamming the bottle down on the crate in front of me, I laughed at Alec who placed his head on the crate as well. Almost near his limit he couldn't take his sip and finish it off, so I did. Rubbing his back lightly I tried hard to stop laughing at his pain, but only laughed harder when I realized he would be so hung over. The man across from me got up and said he was going to get some whiskey for me, and I didn't stop him.

"May I have a word, Ana-ya?" Leaning my head backwards, I stared upside down at Trafalgar Law. Funny I hadn't seen him all evening. Maybe he was hiding from the attention of all the females. Snapping my head back to the way it was supposed to be, I patted the seat next to me. Once he was situated I turned my body towards him so I could give him my full drunk attention. Moving my legs so they were placed between him, making him spread his more with a raised eyebrow at my actions.

In the light of the lanterns lining the street, seeing as how it was well past sunset now, I couldn't help but study him closer. He had a small soul patch, sideburns and looking just above his eyes I could see dark hair. The hat caught my attention even more so, the soft look fabric seemed to be calling my name. Reaching out my hand, I gently took it and placed it on my own head. The disheveled bun on my head preventing it from settling all the way on my head, but I smiled none the less. I could see unruly black hair on top of Law's head, it was like bed head. How cute.

"Ana-ya, I need the hat back now." Looking back down I saw his hand held out expectantly. Grabbing the hand, I turned it over to read the print on his fingers. DEAT, pausing I turned it so I could see the H. Grabbing his other hand I noticed it was there too. Also, there were tattoos on the back of his hands. Just how many tattoos did this man have? His hands shook, glancing up at him through my eyelashes I saw him giving me an amused look as he chuckled silently.

"Well, seeing as how I have your attention, I wanted to ask you a question." His smooth voice seemed to caress me, and I nodded to him seemingly forgetting how to speak. Now I see why my close friends tell me not to drink so much in one sitting. I got side tracked so damn easily. The thought of my friends brought a smile to my face, still looking into Law's handsome face. Then my blood ran cold.

"Join my crew Ana-ya."

I visibly tensed up as my eyes widened at his question. He looked between both my pale blue eyes. Looking down at the hand I was holding I frowned. The thought of taking to the seas again had crossed my mind, but... I looked over at Alec. Then I looked around to the people who I had grown close with over the years. Feeling his hand close over mine, I looked back at him. A small smile, not a smirk, was placed on his lips. Eyes held understanding as he watched my reaction. This was the place I called home, I've lived here longer than my actual home island.

"We set sail tomorrow, the Log Post has set for the next island." Gently pulling my hand from his, I took the hat from my head and placed it back on his. Missing the warmth that it had given me already. I could see the slight pain from rejection, but he covered it fast with impassiveness. Just as he was about to move I place a hand on his left leg, gaining his attention once more.

"I'll tell you the same thing I told my friend long ago." He nodded at me to continue as I stared into his eyes. A million thoughts and memories running through my mind as I recalled the words that started my trip so long ago. "I won't fall unless you promise to catch me." Flickering from one stormy eye to the other I waited for his response.

"Well, I like to think I catch quite proficiently." He gave a small smirk to me, tapping my hand on his leg. Removing the appendage I kept his gaze as he rose. "Should you decide to come then meet us before we set sail. I hope you come Ana-ya." Walking away from me and towards Bepo, I saw the bear wave to me with a slight smile. He waved to me and I gave a tentative wave back to him. I watched them walk into the darkness towards the port. Turning around the man returned with the bottle of whiskey, and I greedily drank it.

Looking at the barely rising sun, I enjoyed the light gray hues and the slight red and orange ones. The sea was shining, almost in an inviting in a way. All drunkenness we had been feeling slipped away in the silence as I recalled my conversation with the Surgeon of Death. I wouldn't lie and say I never thought of returning to the life of pirating, but this town just seemed so comfortable. It was going to be so peaceful as Patty was gone, and so were his goons. This is what I had wanted...wasn't it? I had everything I needed here, my old friends came back and visited just about every other year, having just left not to long ago.

"Ana...I think you should go." Whipping around to face so fast I thought I had whiplash I stared at him openly. Alec was facing the sun, as it was breaking on his face. A gently breeze whipping around loose strands of my hair, and tousling his slightly. His pale blue eyes mirrored mine own.

"Alec, what about your migraines? How will you tolerate the pain?" The panic in my voice was real. I had seen him before me, barely able to move throughout the town during the day. Not able to sleep at night. The thought of him wasting away scared me greatly. Alec was one of the first people to really accept me when I arrive here. He laughed at me.

"Ana, I survived without you here before. I think that I can survive without you here now. Besides, Docs medicine seems to be working. As long as I don't use my ability I won't have a problem." His easy going grin made an appearance. Looking away from him I took a look at the sub, people moving about it. The sails were raised and they looked to be raising the anchor.

"It's too late now their leaving now." Standing up I walked to the furthest point of the cliff. They would have to sail by me to get to the next island. I don't know if I was going to watch them leave, they didn't seem like a bad group. Bepo seemed like me enough and I was getting rather attached to the polar bear. The ship/sub started to move and I watched a door open and out stepped the captain of the vessel. Crossing my arms over my chest I looked down follow him. He seemed to be watched the dock and the beach behind it. My heart sinking slightly when I realized he was looking for me.

He suddenly looked up and matched my gaze, as if sense I was staring at him. I could feel the frown settling in on my face, my throat getting tighter. It was hard to see a good crew like that go, when offered a spot to be on that vessel right now. Taking a step closer to the edge I couldn't help the longing sensation I felt. It was almost the same one when he left this very same island. I didn't regret staying then, but I think I was after passing up this offer. I could see a slight frown on the Captain's face, I guess he hoped I would be there once they were ready to sail. And at this moment in time I wished more than anything that I had been. My arms tightened their hold on each other as I kept eye contact with Law.

"It's never too late Ana." When I tried to look back I suddenly felt the ground leave my feet. Letting out a gasp I clasped my hands around Alec's neck. Looking at like he was a mad man, what the hell was he thinking. He gave me a breath taking smile. "I'm sorry I couldn't be enough for you." Confusion blatantly on my face.

"Alec what are you- Oh my god!" My question was cut off when Alec suddenly lurched back and forth. Only when he went forward he let me slip from his grasp. Reaching out my hands to find purchase on him, he stepped back slightly so I couldn't. "ALEC!" His name tore through my throat.

At first it was like slow motion. Feeling the sensation of leaving the safety of his arms and suddenly thrown of into the depths below. Then I was suddenly falling at a fast pace. I watched in horror as he stepped to the edge to watch me fall. That man, who I thought to be my friend just threw me off a cliff into salt water. Knowing I was a fruit user. Tears filled my vision as a sob made it past my lips. This was it. I was going to die here. The wind pounded in my ears, making it so I couldn't hear anything. Alec looked to be saying something, but as he did I was to far down the side of the cliff to see the words form on his lips. Closing my eyes I waited for the impending doom. This isn't how I wanted to go out. I was suppose to die at an old age watching my grandchildren grow up. Passing along stories of my times sailing the high seas. Sitting in an old rocking chair I rocked my kids in. The love of my life sitting right next to me. I was suppose to have the time of my life traveling the seas of the Grand Line and the New World. I still had revenge to achieve, people to free. I had dreams of being apart of an amazing crew doing amazing things together, I didn't want it to just be a dream. I wanted it to become a reality.

Then the falling sensation stopped as I landed softly in a pair of muscular arms. Wrapping my arms around the person's neck, I opened my eyes wide. Mere inches away from my face was that of Trafalgar Law's. Tears that formed in my eyes threatened to form again as I looked from him up to the cliff. Alec stood there, wind whipping his hair around, and attached at his leg was a sight that nearly broke me. Alex was hugging his leg like a life line as he watched me sail away. The arm closest to me reached out in a vain attempted to touch me. He was screaming something with tears streaming down his face. Alec bent down and picked up the 8 year old and held him as he struggled to get away reaching for me. Once their faces got blurry to me, to far away to see I turned and hid my own in Law's neck. His arms held me closer slightly, my body shaking from the near death experience. I heard him saying something to me, it sounded like soft words of comfort and I just curled up into him more. I heard him speak once more, before I crashed.

"I told you I can catch proficient."

Tucking her into his bed Law took a step back into the chair next to his desk. He ran a hand over his face and he let out a relieved sigh. He had wanted her to come with them yes, but that was not how he intended for her to come aboard his vessel. He had been hoping that she would be waiting for him when he stepped out of the interior of the ship. But when he emerged from within, the dock and beach were bare of any life forms. Then the overwhelming feeling of being watched made him look up. And there she was.

Arms crossed over her filled out chest, a frown making its way onto her neutral features. She held his stare as the ship started to move. Bepo's voice coming out of a den-den mushi giving instructions on the sails and such. The bun on top of her head was starting to fall, wisps of lavender hair flying about in the early morning wind. Legs spread as she took a step closer to the edge, he frowned more when he thought of her slipping. It'd be a waste of a precious life. Her friend walked up behind her. Then shit hit the soon as he picked her up Law got a bad feeling. When he actually saw her sail from his arms, and her voice screaming was when he went into action. They were too far from her at this point.

"Penguin open the sails more now! Marcus move us closer to her! I want every available hand ensuring that we make it in time!" His voice boomed over the silence that had enveloped. And people were moving faster than they had in a while, hangovers and such were forgotten as they worked hard. A sickening feeling in his gut said that they wouldn't make it. She would hit the rocks below, or worse fall into the sea and drown. She was a devil fruit user, he personally knew that she wouldn't be able to swim.

"Captain!" Looking behind him, Bepo threw a pen to him. Looking at the pen then at the bear it didn't click right away then he realized what it was for. Nodding to his first mate he made his way toward her. Once she was in range it was all set. He heard her dumb friend calling to him.

"You better catch her Trafalgar Law!"

"Room!" Calling the order to come as fast at it could from within him. As she broke through the pale blue barrier he called out the command that would save her life. "Shambles!"

The pen vanished from his hand, and suddenly she was in front of him. Bending his knees to soften the landing, he caught her under her legs and behind her back. Small arms instantly wrapping around his neck and pale blue eyes snapping open to look in his own steel ones. Her wild looking eyes turned form him up to the cliff where he saw a young boy had joined the idiot standing on the cliff. Reaching an arm out and screaming something, but the wind caught it and they couldn't hear. Her hand unconsciously tightened around his neck, as he tightened his hold on her. Ana's whole body was shaking from the rush of adrenaline that was coursing through her veins.

"Hey, it's okay I've got you."

"You're safe Ana."

"You're going to be alright, I promise."

Trying to stop the trembling girl in his arms from having a breakdown. She curled up into him more, bringing her legs toward her chest. Arms latching onto the material of his sweatshirt, face well hidden in his neck. Her breath was coming in short puff and at this rate she was going to slip in unconsciousness.

"I told you I can catch proficiently."

Those words seemed to do the trick as she finally went under and passed out from exerting herself. Turning on his heel, Law took his newest crew member down below. The men shuffling about stayed out of his way as he walked down the halls and to his room. Kicking the door both open and shut, he tried to settle the girl down, but she wouldn't let go. Smirking a bit at this he wait a couple more seconds for her body to adjust and recognize that she wasn't in any danger. Once it did she, almost reluctantly, let got of him.

Now sitting here, Law leaned back and smiled at the sleeping form in his bed. Only meeting her for a whole day he knew that this was the best choice he made since coming into the Grand Line once more. Glancing at the wanted poster under some papers his smile grew. A young girl with pale lavender hair glared at the camera with her hand raised at it. She had to of been almost 12 in this photo, so much money for a little girl.
