"What's taking them so long?" you wondered out loud to yourself, hanging your head back at looking at the snowy clouds.

Your husband had instructed you and Law to stay on the boat but the boy couldn't sit still and wait. Maybe you should've gone with Rosinante to retrieve the fruit. No, you would've just gotten in his way. The fellow may be clumsy, however, give him a stealth mission and he sneaks with skills rivalling a ninja. You smirk at the thought, that's your hubby for ya.

"It shouldn't be taking them this long." You frown glancing back at the island. "The navy's here, at least I thought I spotted them earlier. Maybe that's why they're taking forever to get here."

You scan the waters, searching for any ship nearby, but the snow made it difficult to gaze at anything further than sixty feet. You huff and fold your arms, crossing your legs over the other, that's when your sense of temperature registers in your brain. You were freezing playing the sitting duck.

You pulled your coat closer together as chills shook your body. You never quite minded the cold in the North Blue, but that was because Rosi had been at your side to warm you up. It's one of your favourite affections you share, and the smiles you shared with each other warmed your hearts. There's no other you'd rather walk through the icy north with, even when he had to go undercover.

"No no no no, you're not doing this operation on your own!" You opposed, waving your spoon at him.

"[Y/n], I have to do this on my own," Rosinante told you, lowering his spoon. "It's my brother, I... I want to reason with him, get him to side with us. I don't want him to end up in prison like every other pirate, he's my brother... and I don't want to betray him, he would never forgive me if I arrested him."

"That's why I'm coming with you," you stated after swallowing a spoon full of boiled cabbage. "You're bound to slip up if you're on your own. Besides, I don't want to sleep alone at night, you know how cold it gets."

"I would be shivering non-stop without you," Rosinante smiled, pulling you in for a side hug.

"That's it! I'm going to look for the two myself," you declared and climbed out of the boat.

Treading through the snowy train, you scan the area for the two. Worry swirled countless thoughts in your mind. What if they went back already? What if Corazon got hurt and that's why they weren't back yet? What if they ran into trouble? The questions feasted on your anxiety. You couldn't hear your body's senses over the noise in your head. Fortunately, your reflexes kicked in and you jumped back just in time when a large spiderweb came down in front of you.

Eyes widen, you felt your breath leave your body, and your heart scrambled. An island-sized birdcage stood before you. There's only one who could wield string like this, only one capable of crafting it in such a way. 

Doflamingo's here.

"ROSINANTE!"
