Sweet dreams

Walking for a while Law saw the immense damage he had caused in all of Punk Hazard. He couldn't believe his own strength. All the machines were broken and the few workers left there were running in circles, not knowing what to do. Law hoped he hadn't hit any of his allies.

He looked for the port, still carrying you in his arms. While walking, he thought what to do with you. It would be too risky for you to go to Dressrosa with them, but he couldn't leave you alone. "You are so reckless" He said to you, even though you were asleep. "You don't even know how to fight, and still . . . you try to help, even if it pushes you to the extreme" He looked at your face, even after a battle that left you on the verge of death, you had such a serene expression, sleeping peacefully in his arms.

"You are just like Cora san" He said with a melancholic smile. "Too kind for your own good. I know that doesn't end up well . . ." He didn't want to think about it further. The more he thought of you, the more he suffered. Seeing all this parallels to his past self and Corazon in you made him think you were doomed to end up badly. Maybe beside Doflamingo as a loyal member of the Donquixote family, just like he was destined to be. Or maybe dead, just like Corazon.

But . . . that wasn't true. He escaped Doflamingo's influence, and, apparently, Corazon was still alive, out there somewhere. You could be saved. He wouldn't let the past repeat itself, Doflamingo had already done enough.

Before he was consumed by a spiral of thoughts, Law found an exit that directly led to the port. There he found Sachi and Sanji on a boat, waiting for the rest of the team. With them, there was Caesar, handcuffed. When Law saw him, he became aggravated. He was mainly the reason you had those wounds in the first place.

"Captain! You finally-" Sachi was greeting his captain, when he noticed he was carrying you. "What happened?"

"Just a tough battle" He drily answer. He was focused on treating your wounds. "Do we have-"

"We only got a first-aid kit" Shachi replied before his captain could end the question.

"This will do for now" Said Law while inspecting your injuries. While doing his job, Law and Sanji began to talk.

"Those injuries . . . I saw her in Caesar's lab, connected to a big computer. It seemed it was Caesar who blocked her memories" Sanji explained to Law. The doctor looked mad at Caesar.

"Don't look at me that way! Those injuries are her fault, violently taking off the cables!" Caesar tried to defend himself. "If you hadn't attacked me, none of this would have happened" He sounded arrogant.

"And let Doflamingo do as he pleases? I won't allow that" Law said determined, but behind that confident facade, he was full of fear of what could happen next. Seeing how they all ended up on their adventure at Punk Hazard, what could they do against the entirety of the Donquixote family if they ever had to confront it? As much as Law wanted him dead, what could he do against Doflamingo? Doubts plagued his mind.

"What do you want with me, anyway?" Caesar asked, wanting to know the reason for his kidnapping, interrupting Law's internal struggle.

"You are just bait" Law answered. "To distract Doflamingo"

"And why don't you use her?" Caesar asked pointing at you. "Doflamingo is obsessed with her" He seemed jealous in a way. You received so much attention, when you didn't even know how to use your powers. His machine was way more important than that stupid brat.

"How could we ever use a young lady like that? No way in hell!" Sanji replied, never willing to put a girl in such dangerous situation.

"That would be too risky" Law coldly said, like that was the only thing preventing him from using you in that way. He stared at your face, still sleeping peacefully. He finished bandaging your wounds. "Now, if you allow me . . ." Law sat next to Caesar, and using his ability, he extracted Caesar's heart, still beating.
