I'm already dead (One Piece fanfic)

Chapter 8

Law finally reached the center. He took a moment to stand in shock, eyes wide and the scenario in front of me and the pool of red blood on the ground. 

On the left was Shachi, on his knees with a terrified expression on his face. On the exact center lay a small body of a girl with blood surrounding her body. Law quickly recognized her even though she was laying face down. 'Rin' 

Law quickly pushed the people around him off of him and ran towards Rin's fallen body. "Rin!!" he shouted as he reached her. 'Oh shit...' Somebody sliced her back. There was a cut mark from her right shoulder to her waist on the left side. Law quickly sat down beside her and flipped her in his arms.

He turned her to see her face. The same old lifeless orbs met his. "You okay?" he shouted. She slightly nodded and her mouth formed a slight smile. 'Did she just smile? Who cares! What matters is that she's not dead yet!'

Law quickly picked her up bridal style. The same lady they met earlier in the town square came forward from the crowd. "Sorry young man, but all the doctors of our island live far in the east. She doesn't have much time. I deeply apologize but the doctor of your ship will have to take care of her" she said looking down. "It's okay..." Law whispered as he used room.

Now in the middle stood three strangers in their place and they were at the very back of the crowd. Law didn't even stop to look at Shachi. He started running, running as fast as he could back to their submarine. Rin's life depended on it.

He quickly went inside their sub and to the infirmary and lied her down.

-timeskip of surgery-

Law was done now. He used a cloth to wipe off most of the blood on her back. He stitched her wound. He gave her some of his own blood since their blood types matched and she had a loss of blood. Now he just stood beside her bed and stared at her back.

Rin was asleep so he didn't talk to maintain the silence in the room. Her back was still bloody as places. He placed a piece of cloth on her bottom to respect her privacy. This is the first time he noticed. During her surgery he never really carefully inspected her back.

Now that he looks at it, she had plenty of scars. On her back, legs and arms. 'I guess that's why she always wore the long sleeved tops and jeans from the ones I bought, which were most of them' he thought.

Her scars were everywhere. Cut marks, stitches, some rashes and bruises too. None of them were treated with proper care. 'I don't know if I should be angry or feeling sorry for her. Damn this girl doesn't even know how to take care of herself' he thought. 

She slightly opened her eyes. But she didn't turn her head to look at Law. She already knew he was there. "Thanks" she whispered before closing her eyes and going back to sleep.

"You're welcome" Law had a genuine smile on his face. He stood up and left the room so that she could rest.
