Chapter 1 Chapter 2

---

Law stared at the heart sitting on his desk with anger. He now has more questions for this mysterious woman who disappeared from his ship a week ago. She escaped the same way she boarded the ship by manipulating his closest crew members the two he considered his brothers which just fueled his anger.

As much as Law tried he could not get this woman out of his mind. She was clever and beautiful enough to manipulate her way through information that should be nearly impossible to achieve. She also seemingly had a team who was able to rescue her at the right time. But what racked Law's brain the most was why she was so interested in him.

There was one thing she was right about and that was that he didn't have it in him to actually crush the heart sitting in front of him. He had every reason to crush it and get rid of the woman who knew too much about him and may know even more.

He groans pushing himself away from his desk in frustration, his thoughts weren't getting him anywhere. He grabbed a cloak and his Kikoku before pushing his way onto the deck of the Polar Tang. On the deck, Shachi and Penguin were stuck on their cleaning duty as a punishment both stood in attention upon seeing their captain only to receive an eye-roll as Law jumped off the ship.

Law walked down the street of the small town they were visiting to collect supplies. He took a breath clearing my head with the fresh air as he looked down the street he noticed a woman staring at him from across the way. Odd looks were familiar to Law being a famous pirate but this was different she wasn't looking at him with fear or speculation but with confidence and determination. Law watched closely as the woman turned down an alley almost beckoning him to follow.

Law followed the woman carefully keeping all his senses aware in case of a potential attack. When he went down the alley the only thing he found was an envelope and the woman he spotted was gone. He bent down to grab the envelope that just had his name written on the back not just his name but his full name 'Traphaler D Water Law'. Law glared the only person who recently said his full name was Raven the woman who knows too much. He ripped the envelope open and a small piece of paper fell to the ground now free from its containment began moving slightly toward the sea. Law picked it up before it could go far. He turned it in his hand to find scratchy handwriting that said, "Just in case."

Law scoffed shoving the paper into his pocket and returning to his sub.

Weeks have now passed and the plaguing thoughts of Raven have begun to limit in Law's mind. Her heart and viver card now collecting dust sitting in the top drawer of his desk along with her heart. He thought about using the card to track her down and recapture her as his prisoner but he had a feeling she gave him the card for a reason.

As Law works at his desk the soft rhythm of the heartbeat keeps him focused. Up until this day, the beat has been steady rarely changing pace to the point Law has become blind to the sound. But the loud thump that shook his desk pulled him out of his work. He yanked the drawer open to see the heart's usual steady beat now beating like a drum. Underneath the heart sat the viver card that now had a slight burn on the edge of its page.

"Shit" he mumbled pulling the heart and card out of the drawer. The card pulled towards the island he was on and the heart. His thoughts began to swim with an internal debate. He shouldn't care if the woman who knows too much is close to death someone is doing the job he should have done. But for some reason, she trusted him with both her heart and viver card and this was probably why.

Law groaned as he grabbed his cloak and headed out of his office. Once on the deck, he began to question himself. The viver card just points in the direction the person is the woman can be islands over and him running around on this island could be a waste of time. If she was on this exact island what kind of twisted game was Faith playing on him.

"Shit." He mumbled again before jumping off his sub and onto the island. As he followed the direction of the card in his palm it became tighter to the direction signifying that she was close.

As he drew closer to the woman a laugh began to echo off the buildings, "Uhahahaha" Law froze at the familiar laugh. It was a very distinct and unique laugh from his past. One that belongs to Diamante.

Diamante is one of the top three officers of the Donquixote Pirates, the current occupant of the Diamond seat of the Donquixote Family, and the leader of the crew's Diamante Army subdivision. But in Law's past, he was the one who taught him how to sword fight.

"Did you honestly believe that Doffy wouldn't see through your plan?" Diamante jeered. "Your crew of Dressrosa traitors are finished!"

Law swiftly strode to the edge of the building and peered around to see Raven crawling on her hands and knees, desperately trying to escape from the towering figure of Diamante. Without hesitation, Diamante stomped on her back pinned her to the ground, and raised his sword high, poised to strike down on her back.

But as his sword flew down it was only met with the ground. Her figure seemingly disappeared. Law now running away from the scene with Raven safely in his arms. Raven looked up at him with a smile, "I knew you would come" before she passed out.

As soon as Law and Raven reached the submarine, Law used his powers to transport her to the operating room before urgently requesting a submerge. The Heart Pirates sprang into action, frantically preparing the submarine for an emergency escape. Shachi and Penguin, who had been following Law, were hot on his heels, eager to bombard him with questions about urgent submerge, but Law was too focused to pay attention to them. He ordered the sub to make as much distance from the island as quickly as possible, anxiously watching the horizon for any signs of pursuit. The sound of the submarine's engines filled the air.

After reaching a safe distance, Law headed toward the operating room. Shachi and Penguin were shocked when they saw what was inside. Raven was lying unconscious on the table, covered in blood and bruises. Diamante had the ability to take her out quickly and painlessly, but for some reason, he chose to play with her before doing so.

"What happened?"

"Why is she here?"

Law ignored their questions as he got to work patching the woman up. Luckily for her, there weren't any major injuries just a few stitches here and there that Law needed to tend to. When she wakes she will need some ice for her bruises but she will recover fine.

Law turned to his crew mates who were waiting for answers. He sighed wiping his hands, "Apparently she is from Dressrosa. Doflamingo wanted her dead and sent Diamante after her."

"Why did you save her?" Shachi asked pleading for answers.

Law's jaw snapped shut unable to answer that question that he had been asking himself. Why did he do it and why was she so certain that he would. By the way his body tenses, Shachi received his answer and pulled Penguin out of the room leaving Law to himself.

Law turned around and stared at the peaceful woman lying on the operating table no longer bleeding out but peacefully sleeping.

The next morning Law entered the operating room to redress the woman's bandage before turning to his duties for the day. As he tended to her wounds she began to stir with a groan reaching her arm up to cover her eyes from the overhead light.

"You're awake." His voice rumbles as he continues his work.

Raven's eyes dart around the room landing on the captain's silhouette above her, "well this is some deja vu." She groaned turning away from him.

"Glad to see your humor is intact." He tighten the bandage on her arm causing her to wince. He finishes wrapping up the bandage before moving to the sink wiping the blood off his hands.

Raven sat up investigating her wounds and whereabouts, "Thank you." She spoke softly. Law scoffed as he continued to clean up.

"Since you are now awake you can start answering my questions." He leaned on the counter while he dried his hands.

"I guess that's fair. Where would you like to start?" She threw her legs over the edge of the table.

"Why was Diamante trying to kill you?"

"Because I am trying to dethrone Doflamingo and free Dressrosa." She spoke causally.

"From what I've heard the people of Dressrosa love Doflamingo's rule why would you dethrone him?"

"The people of Dressrosa don't know the full story of how he took the throne."

"Which is?"

"He manipulated his way through of course, crafted a stage where he would be the hero and take out anyone who doubts him."

Law gave a knowing smirk.

"You know the scene you have seen it play out before. The people of Dressrosa are suffering and they don't even know it. When they learn about what he has done what he did they will want to overthrow him too!" Raven jumped up in passion but quickly regretted it as her knees buckled. Law instinctively flew over and caught her pulling her back to her feet.

She grabbed onto Law's chest, "Please you need to help me. Help me destroy him. You know him better than anyone you know how he thinks you can free Dressrosa from him."

Law helped her back to the table pulling away from her and shaking his head, "I am not much of a liberating type. What would freeing a country do to benefit me."

"Because Law you're a good person."

"And who told you that lie. If you can't tell I am a pirate! Hell, they call me the surgeon of death! That doesn't really sound like a good person now does it."

"Cora-san did."

The silence filled the room as Law starred daggers into the woman. His heart beat loudly as his thoughts began to swim begging for an answer. His teeth grinding as his body ran cold. "What?"

"He told me that you have a good heart." She pleaded with her eyes.

Law's nose began to twitch, "Cora-san is dead." He mumbled as if he didn't want to hear the words himself.

Raven grabbed Law's arm forcing him to look her in her eyes. As he stared into her eyes a story began to unfold and tears formed. "He is alive."
