The Marionette and the Doctor (LawxOc)

Chapter 19

I sat next to Law as we were basically using the sleeping Bepo as a cushion. We were now above the waters, on the deck, nearing Saobody.

"What?! We're still not going to the new world?!"

"We'll wait for the right moment, that's all I'm saying, there's no need to get hasty, its not as though the one piece is going anywhere," Law said, which made me agree with them, plus this crew is still too weak to survive there where literal Yonkos are, along with the fact that there are many stronger pirates that exists, we might as well head right towards death by ourselves.

"Even so, Blackbeard and his crew are stirring things up," Shachi tried to convince Law.

"If the Pirates are taking each other out, then that's better for us, there's no need to get involved in the small things," I nodded in agreement to Law's words, "Now stop talking and just follow me, where there is a position I need, I'll take it," he smiled.

Gosh...that was so cool!

"Captain! I'll follow you anywhere!" Bepo muttered in his sleep.

"Why is he sleep talking?!"

"Sorry," Bepo apologized, still asleep, making the crew yell at him for apologizing.

Law has amazing friends.

I stood up, motivated, "Alright, since we aren't going to the grandline do quickly, let's prepare!"

"Prepare? We already have supplies though," Penguin spoke.

"No, I mean you're strength, if you think you'll survive in the grandline if you can't beat a Pacistfista on your on, then you're sorely mistaken and in for a rude awakening that may result in death," I said.

"How would you know that we can't defeat a Pacistfista?"

"Oh please, those things beat me up every time in their testing phases, and you think you guys can defeat it alone?"

"..."

"So that's why as we wait for the right time, we'll train so that we can survive in the new world!" I said, pumped up as I raised a fist.

"Alright!" It seemed the crew got pumped up as well, "What are we starting with?"

"Do you guys know what Haki is? I know the fundamentals of what it is, but I'm still at a basic level where its 50-50 whether I can actually use it for battle, we gotta get y'all up there and higher!"

I started explaining the things I learned about Haki under Sengoku and some other marines, I talked about training methods they put me through along with different types of situation I was in where I had been able to use Haki.

A few days passed by and I finally got to read the book Riddle had for me.

It was a diary of what happened to Riddle and the others after I left. They joined the Revolutionary army and are under a group of strange people who happened to be related to Kimiko. People who had certain knowledge that could affect this world dramatically. The entries were fun, but they didn't seem very important until I reached a certain entry.

Year XX, Day 05, Month 04

I happened to come up a strange series of books, written by the same author. The books seemed to be journals. I was about to read one, but my mentor, the one who owns the book, Sakura, quickly took it from me after I read one page. Strange. She usually allows me to read whatever from her library. She urged me to forget about them, but it really bothered me. In that one page I read, it talked about an event that was supposed to happen. The defeat of Doflamingo by the alliance of Strawhat and Trafalgar Law. I don't know who those are but they aren't prominent pirates as of now, I actually research into it, and the term Strawhat isn't even familiar to me, nor Trafalgar Law. It could probably just be a novel someone is writing or something, but I can't get the feeling its important, after all, if it wasn't, why would she want me to forget it?
