The Marionette and the Doctor (LawxOc)

Chapter 21

Putting the comfortable scarf on, I smiled, seeing we were nearing our destination. It was decided by Law that only he and I would go to Punk Hazard. Although the others complained, they were glad Law was able to open up and bring one of us with him. I'm glad they are thinking of me as one of them, because I love the crew and friendship we've built on this ship.

Ikkaku opened the door, "You ready Loralei? Breakfast is about to be served," she said.

Grabbing my luggage and sword I walked over to the door, "Yep, I am," I couldn't help but smile happily.

It feels so refreshing to be with these people, after we finish taking revenge on Doflamingo, I do hope we can keep being a crew, or even if something happens, Law and them can stay friends.

Law has been acting a bit weird recently, after I had that bad fever for a week, he started acting a bit awkward around me, although I don't mind it much, it still feels weird.

After having a light breakfast with the crew, we were now above waters so I went on the deck to get some fresh air. It was cold, which was yo be expected since we were nearing the cold side of Punk Hazard. Knowing a bit about this island, I heard it was the battle place of the admiral Aokiji and admiral Akainu. I never really liked the admirals when I was in the marines, honestly I never liked many of the marines, Vice-Admiral Garp was an exception since he had a lot more humor than the rest.

Anyways, seeing things from afar, it was beautiful to say the least. The crystal like ice covered with sparkles of snow, while the other side seemed like a firey hell, yet with the color of red and yellow, it mixed beautifully.

"Enjoying the view?" A voice rang out to the side.

"Yeah, this is where we will start messing things up, once we destroy the factory here, there will be a lot of people going after us," I said.

"Are you regretting wanting to come? You can still back out," Law spoke, carefully.

I turned to stare at him, "And let you jump into suicide alone? Nah, I'm going with you no matter what, even if you are to lead me to death," I said in all seriousness.

"Loralei."

"?"

"Don't say that. I don't want to lead you into death, you out of us need to live," knowing what he's talking about, I felt a bit sad that he feels he doesn't need to live, "I want you to live happy because I lo- I just want you to be happy," he faltered on some words, making me raise my eyebrow in confusion, but still, his words felt nice.

"The same goes for you, do you honestly think that you're the only one who wants someone else to be happy? Gosh, if you don't pull your head out of those clouds, I'll pull them down to earth for you, we are both living or we are both dying, you hear me? If you dare to go die, I'll kill myself and tell Corazon its your fault," I scolded him, pouting.

He couldn't help but laugh a little, still holding concern, "Alright, we will both live happy, alright?" I didn't trust his words, but still, I chose to believe him because I wanted it to be what he truly feels.

"Captain, Loralei, we are almost here, are you sure more of us shouldn't come?" Bepo came up to us and asked, really wanting to come with us.

"Sorry Bepo, 3 is a crowd," I said, jokingly.

Blushing, Bepo nodded as if he understood, "I understand Loralei, Captain! Good luck!" he said and started walking away.

"..."

"Pfft, Bepo's adorable, what does he understand?" I asked.

"..."

Law stood in silent, seeming to be a bit shooked as he looked away from me.
