The Son of Ace.

Chapter 6. Take me there.

Wind blew softly through blue hair. Jade eyes opened and looked to the sky. The woman smiled and stroked the cowboy hat sitting in her lap lovingly.

"He's coming..." She said with a smile.

--

"So you know how to get to where my mother is safely on a ship?" Rogue asked. Sabo nodded.

"It's actually just a three day trip in that direction." Sabo said, pointing in the direction behind him.

"Take me there. Take me to my mother." Rogue said. Sabo smiled at the boy.

"Absolutely. Your mother is anxious to see you. Hey, Tra-guy." Sabo said. Law looked irked at the nickname.

"Yes, Sabo-ya?" Law asked.

"When you come across Koala. Let her know that I'm going to be late for our date." Sabo said.

"She's going to be pissed, Sabo." Aka said.

"She'll forgive me." Sabo smiled.

"Dad... I... I want to go back to see Aoi." Lami said. Law stared at her.

"Absolutely not!" He said.

"Law!" Aka said.

"I am not going to let my daughter run off unsupervised!" Law said.

"Dad, Uncle Sabo will be here!" Lami said.

"The answer is still no!" Law snapped.

"Law." Aka said, putting her hand on his arm. Law looked at his wife.

"She'll be fine. She is your daughter. You trained her yourself, mighty Surgeon of Death." Aka reminded him. Law sighed.

"Aka-ya..." Law whispered in his wife's ear.

"I know, Law. But Lami can handle herself. She's a strong girl. Plus you know Sabo will protect her, plus Rogue is so much like his father, we know he won't let anything hurt her. Let her go see the world on her own. We'll wait for her with the Straw Hats." Aka said. Law sighed.

"Fine..." He said.

"Really, Dad?!" Lami asked.

"Don't tempt him to change his mind." Aka said. Lami hugged Law.

"I won't let you down." She said.

"It's your safety I worry about." He said, hugging his daughter tightly. Lami smiled.

"No worries, Dad." She said.

"Hey, Rogue. Where are the Straw Hats waiting?" Aka asked.

"Amazon Lilly." Rogue said.

"Alright then. Lami, your father and I will wait for you at Amazon Lilly, alright? Behave yourself." Aka said. Lami nodded.

"No worries! I'll protect them!" She said with a grin.

"I'll... I'll see you later, Oneechan." Rocinante said. Lami rubbed her little brother's hair.

"Hey, you'll see me in no time. No worries, Little brother. Make sure you train hard and study hard." Lami said.

"R-Right! I'll make you proud!" He said. He ran to jump from the ship to the submarine, but tripped and fell directly on his face. Aka sighed.

"He's just like dad..." She said and went to help her son, also tripping. Law sighed as Sabo tried not to laugh.

"More like he's just like his mother..." He sighed. He looked back at Lami, then pulled her in to a hug.

"Please be careful, Lami-ya." He said. Lami hugged her father back.

"You don't need to worry, Dad." She said. Law held her tightly, then reluctantly let his daughter go. He kissed her forehead.

"I love you." He told her. She smiled up at him and he returned to his submarine.

"Are you sure you wanna do this, Lami-chan?" Kosen asked. Lami smiled up at him.

"Yes. Just like my mother said, I can handle myself. I'm a strong girl." She said. Lami watched as her parents and the rest of the Heart Pirates sailed off.

"Thank you for letting me join you." Lami said, smiling at the crew. Ashe grabbed Lami's arm.

"Of course! I want to hear all about your mom and her relationship with my mom!" Ashe said.

"Let's focus on getting to Aoi. Even if the route is safer than most, there are still bandits that hang around the area." Sabo said. Rogue nodded.

"Uncle Sabo. I want to hear about my father from you." Rogue said. Sabo sighed.

"I can't tell you much. I can only tell you our childhood. The rest your mother has to tell you." Sabo said. Rogue sat down and stared at his blonde uncle. Sabo began to tell Rogue his childhood with Ace and Luffy up until he joined the revolutionary army.

"So how did you get your memory back?" Rogue asked. Sabo looked over the ocean.

"... It's still hard for me to talk about that.." He said.

"I understand." Rogue said.

"Are you ready to meet your mother, Rogue?" Sabo asked. Rogue states for a minute, then nodded.

"Yes. I am." He said. Sabo smiled.

"Good. Because we'll see her soon." Sabo said.
