Taiga's POV!
Those two years had passed so quickly it had seemed as if things had gone by so fast, just like my parents had.
"Taiga, its time to leave.", Law says solemnly, patting my hair which was slightly poofy but otherwise well kept after all the showers and brushes.
"I kn-know, I j-just w-wanna say g-goodbye o-once m-more.", I stutter, grasping the stack of papers I had just finished drawing up.
"Alright, just be sure your jacket covers everything and that your boots are done up fully. It's freezing outside.", he says before leading me out to where he crew was.
"We'll be back, in one piece, before you know it.", Law says as the crew tears up slightly.
"I m-made you g-guys some p-pictures.", I say shyly, happy that Captain was taking me with him but sad that we had to leave the crew behind.
"We're going to miss you guys, you know that right?", Ikkaku-San asks softly, wiping her eyes of the tears about to fall.
"And we will miss you as well, hand them their pictures Taiga.", Law says, nudging me forward slightly. I went up to each crew member and handed them a picture of a time we had hung out together, in color and detail then gave them a hug before walking out with captain into the cold island we were currently docked on.
"Now head to Zou, we'll meet you guys there with the straw hats, hopefully we'll be fine.", he says, holding me close to his chest in the deep snow I could barely walk in.
"You better bring her back in one piece and not mentally scarred you hear me captain?!", Bepo-San shouts, he was the closest to me after Law of course.
"No promises!", Law shouts back, a large smirk on his face as the sub sinks into the icy cold waters off punk hazard.
"Now let's head over to this laboratory, it's bound to be warm in there.", Law says, carrying me to some unknown location...

Time skip from the straw hats awesome entry!!

"Well well well! If it isn't Law? And who's this?", a clown looking guy drawls, he smelled of chemicals and gasoline.
"M-my n-names Taiga, n-nice to m-meet you m-mister.", I say politely, bowing deeply as Law has set me down once we had entered.
"I had no idea, who's the lucky girl?", clown guy asks, obviously thinking I was Law's daughter or something.
"She's not my daughter, I consider her a little sister we picked up from an island.", Law says plainly, patting my hair softly as a green haired lady walks up.
"Oh what a cutie you are!", she exclaims, reaching to pat my hair as Law had just done.
"Monet, this is Taiga, Law's adopted little sister.", clown guy introduces as the lady plays with my hair which was currently down.
"What a cute name, but Law, you didn't tell me you had a little sister.", Monet says, looking over my features softly.
"I adopted her two years ago, I wouldn't have known your location.", Law says plainly, his gaze going to me.
"Now first I'd like something of a loyalty loan if you please, something to insure you don't well you know.", clown guy says, I can't really remember his name even though Law had told me three days ago during his long plan to capture or kill Doflamingo.
"What do you propose we hand over?", Law asks, already creating a room.
"Your hearts, and in exchange I shall hand over Monet's heart.", clown guy says, it was kinda unfair though.
"Two for the price of one? That doesn't sound fair...", Law says, obviously displeased by the offer.
"Fine just yours seeing as you have control over that girl.", he says nonchalantly, waving a dismissive hand.
"That girl has a name, it's Taiga.", Law says before whispering 'scalpel' under his breath, taking his own heart out before doing the same to Monet after handing his heart over to clown guy.
"This will be our pact, go against it then you die, and vice versa now onto more pressing matters, my men have suffered from a disease affecting their legs and must have them removed and switched for more mobile legs as with Monet in her arms.", clown guy lists casually, as I grew bored.
"That can be done, but I would like to see where we would be sleeping first.", Law says, catching on to my bored expression.
"That's fair, Monet, show them their living quarters.", clown guy orders with a dismissive wave.
"Very well, follow me.", she says, stepping forward and going down a corridor with us following.
"Here is where you two will be living from now on, I hope you find it comfortable, especially you miss Taiga.", Monet says before leaving us with the key to the room. Law lets out a huff, obviously due from pain and annoyance before looking over to me and smiling softly.
"Guess the plan has started, now to wait for the straw hats and their indefinite craziness.", he says, unlocking the door and opening it for us to head in.
"W-wow, it's so b-big!", I exclaim, the room had two large beds and two huge cabinets with a large closet.
"Yeah, this is as big as my room is. Maybe bigger, hey it has a bathroom.", Law says, checking out the room too. I place down the bags I was carrying on one of the beds before jumping on it, bouncing slightly on the plush mattress.
"S-soft...", I whisper, taking out BJ, Bepo junior, from my bag as Law puts away our clothes.
"W-we're g-going to s-stay here B-BJ...", I whisper to the bear, placing him on the soft clean pillows.
"For now, lets settle in. It's still cold, this place should have hot water.", Law says, I knew what he meant.
"I'll take a sh-shower, g-good luck Law.", I say, hopping off then bed and grabbing some PJs as he heads out.
"Just call if you need anything.", he says before closing and locking the door, making sure no weirdos tried anything.
"G-got it.", I reply, bringing in the transponder snail with me. I walk into the large bathroom, a closet was near the entrance and was filled with white towels soaps and shampoos. I started the water, relatively easy since it was a lever based one with hot on one side and cold on the other, and warmed myself up, washing my hair and body before stepping out and drying myself off. Changing into my clothes, I turned off the water and stepped back inside the empty room. I hang up my towel on one of the hooks in the bathroom and settle into the comfy bed, snuggling BJ close. I could hardly sleep in this new environment so as a result, as soon as Law entered the room, he noticed I was still up.
"Taiga, you should be sleeping.", he says tiredly, his eyes narrowing sleepily at me.
"C-can't s-sleep.", I whisper, sitting up in the bed with the blankets still around me.
"I'll shower first, I smell like blood.", he says, slipping into the bathroom to shower. Ten minutes later he comes out and climbs on my bed, enveloping me in a comforting hug that lulls me to sleep...
