Devilish

Training

Later on that day Law the crew were having their rowdy dinner as usual, it was mainly wrapping up and Law stood overlooking the deck in the breeze. Leila was happily having a drinking competition with Shachi and Jean, Jean acting as the voice of reason and Shachi and Leila egged each other on. The two had found a good friendship whilst she spent her time on the ship, they both enjoyed the fun the other proposes when drinking and they often had training fights – which Leila often won.

Bepo took his place next to Law, shifting uncomfortably on his feet, obviously wanting to say something.

"Bepo, if you have something to say just spit it out" Law said calmly.

"U-um, well Captain." Bepo began, looking at Law cautiously. "About earlier, I'm sorry I walked in. I thought you were alone, I didn't realise you and Leila were like that..."

Law sighed and paused for a minute. "Its fine, we should have been more careful"

"Captain, do you like her?" Bepo asked genuinely, feeling like he may be overstepping his boundaries but he was attentive enough that he noticed a shift in Law's behaviour. Sometimes he was more on edge around Leila, other times Bepo would catch him looking at her softly.

Law stiffened slightly and he let out a long sigh. "It's not like that Bepo, it's just casual. Like it always is"

Bepo eyed his captain warily. "You've been acting strange though captain. The fact you even let her on the sub was odd..."

Law looked Bepo in the eyes, making the bear sweat slightly. He respected his captain but sometimes he couldn't tell what was going on inside his head. Law smirked before taking a swig of his drink. "I know what I'm doing Bepo. Besides, she's a beautiful girl – can you blame me for being caught up for a little while?"

Bepo cleared his throat as he recalled the scene he had walked in on earlier, more confusingly, the heavy atmosphere. It was suffocating to him. He thought for a minute about his Captains behaviour – he was used to many women being on board the ship for a night at Law's wishes, but he knew his captain wouldn't get involved with a crewmate. 'He'd feel trapped...' Bepo thought to himself before Shachi interrupted his thoughts; he walked out onto the deck with tears in his eyes from laughing so much.

"C-captain, watch this" Shachi said clutching his stomach. He beckoned Leila to come out who followed him tipsily, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol she had been consuming for the past hour.

"Oii, why are you getting ya captain involved?" Leila giggled, pointing her finger at Law.

"D-do it again I beg you" Shachi chuckled, wiping tears from his eyes. Jean came out onto the deck also with a large beer in hand.

"What's so funny then?" Law asked, mildly annoyed that she was getting on so well with the male members of his crew.

"She was trying to do an impression of Zoro, but my god she's just so bad" Shachi said

"Oi oi!!" Leila taunted Shachi, standing up to do her impression. "Let the captain decide for himself". Leila unbuttoned her blouse a couple of buttons and ripped it open as much as she could to reveal a considerable amount of cleavage and Law's eyebrow twitched in confusion. Leila put her weight on the back of one of her heels and put her hand on her hip, imaging swords at her hip as she squeezed one eye shut. Her stance made her look like she was impersonating a thug.

"OniiiiGIRI" Leila shouted, spinning in drunken circles quickly, crouching low and looking more like a confused hamster. She easily lost her footing and fell onto her ass, still keeping her eye squeezed shut. She smirked up at Law and held up gang signs - "Santoryu bitch"
