The Saltwater Room (A Trafalgar Law Love Story)

Chapter 3: "You Cant Buy Me"

"WHAT!" The announcer turned to the crowd probably astonished anyone would want to buy the psychotic girl. "Who said that?" The crowd grew silent. They were just as curious as the announcer and began looking around for the one who spoke.

"I did."

Kai couldn't see who said it because her head was pinned down to the floor. She tried desperately to look up but only wore herself out with the fight. She did manage to see Franky running over somewhere out of her view. After a moment he walked back to the others shaking his head. She saw Luffy's shocked face as Franky explained something to him. Then Luffy ran out of her view. Kai cursed the men for holding her down to where she couldn't see what was going on.

"You would seriously pay that much for a wretch like this? I would pay one million just to kill her." The announcer pointed to me . Kai glared at the feet of him and managed to work the fabric away from her mouth so she could talk. She then head-butted one man and knocked him back off herself. She struggled to look up to the crowd and yelled, "I'm worth more than just a million berries!"

"Fine." She barely saw the man who spoke lean forward because her head was spinning and her eyes were blurring. The loss of blood was taking its affect. He held his hands in front of him palms forward and fingers extended, "Ten million berries if you hurry and give her to me now. Including her weapons." The buyer announced. Everyone in the entire facility gasped, including Kai, and the announcer almost fainted. Ten million for a girl like this?

"Te-ten...million! Yes sir your highness, right away!" The announcer tripped over himself as he pulled out a pen and the papers on Kai. He ordered the men to let her up and they dragged her after him.

"I can walk you filthy s-" One man pushed her on in mid-sentence. She was about to knock his lights out but then she saw the man who was buying Her. He stood up in the back with a wide smirk on his face. He was...handsome. Kai was ashamed to say it but she couldn't help but stare at him. She could see he had tattoo's on his arms and hands. He wore a white and black spotted hat and a yellow and black hoodie with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows. His jeans were blue with black spots that matched the black spots on his white hat. He was leaned up against a huge black sword with white crosses on it. The sword even had white fur on it. Kai met his gaze and realized he had been staring at her too.

Kai's face started to burn. He had an intense yet laid-back stare. There were dark circles under his eyes which she took instant notice of. What was the cause of it, insomnia? The announcer reached him and told him to just sign his name. After that the announcer took the papers and snapped his fingers. The men who were holding Kai let go and one took off the collar and handed the man the chains that were attached to her shackles.

The man shook his head, "There's no need for that. Release her hands." The man did as he said and released her. Kai flexed her hands trying to get the blood flowing right and then glared at the men who practically beat her. They jumped back now afraid. Another man hastily went to hand the man her swords and Kai got an outraged look on her face, he must have noticed.

"Nuh-uh. Give those to her. They belonged to her."

Kai stared at the man in total disbelief as did the other men. She smirked and yanked her swords from the mans hand. she attached them back to her belt and jumped at them. They leapt back in fear. she smirked.

"That is enough." The handsome man stood up and he tossed the announcer a brief case. The announcer and his men nodded their heads, took the brief case, and left back to the stage. Kai stood still and looked to the man.

"Thanks for getting me out of there and such but I'm not sticking around here any-"

"Sit. Down. Miss." He ordered. Now it was definitely not in Kai's nature to obey others orders but she sat down instantly after he told her to. "Good." He didn't even say it rudely or made it sound like he was threatening her. But she could tell it was an order and not a choice. "Your wounds are pretty bad. I wouldn't be surprised if you passed out in the next," He looked over her and nodded, "…one minute and thirty seconds at the max." Kai stared at him, "Who are you?"

"Law. Trafalgar Law. But you can call me Captain now." He smirked. It was partly a smirk but partly natural. It was like that was the way he always smiled.

"Captain?" She paused for a moment. Suddenly everything began fading in and out. Kai lost feeling in my hands and feet but everything else started tingling. She groaned and fell over on her side passed out.

"Looks like I was right." Law sighed and crossed his arms. He looked to one man to his left. he was wearing a hat that said penguin. "Take her to the ship and put her in one of the rooms. Make sure you lock the door from the outside so she cant get out and cause more trouble." He looked to his left. "You too." He said to another man who had a giant hat that looked like he was wearing a balloon. They both nodded. They lifted her arms over their necks and headed out.

After the simple battle with the marines and the run-in with the shichibukai Law's crew was taking a chance to escape. The Shichibukai was right on their tails but they were holding him off pretty well. After he was knocked through the trees and didn't appear again they quickly boarded their submarine ship and began preparing to leave. They quickly got out far into the ocean and went underwater.

Law was shouting orders and everyone was doing their part without question.

Kai woke up in the dark after being slung off a bed and thrown around. "AUGH FUCK!" She cried as she landed on her wounded shoulder. She stood up stumbling, "Where am I! How long was I out?" She cried as she swayed from side to side. She felt like she was on a ship. "Luffy? Zolo? Robin? Sanji? Chopper? HELLO!"

She found the wall, with her face unfortunately, and managed to find the door. She twisted the nob but it was locked. "Shit! Where am I? What's going on!"

Kai stood in front of the door and waited a moment. She decided she would kick it open since jiggling the knob wouldn't work. she took a step close to it and then BAM!

Someone slung open the door and nailed Kai in the face sending her flying into a wall. "The hell!" She let out a string of curses while holding her now bleeding nose. When she looked up she saw a looming form in the doorway. It was huge! The eyes were red and they were glaring straight at her. It definitely wasn't human.

"What the? You did this to me!" Kai went to grab her swords but they were gone. "Not again!" She moaned. The creature took a step forward. "KYA!" Kai brought her leg around to kick the creature but the creature stopped her.

She finally got a good look at the creature and realized it was...A BEAR. "Oh my god! You're a bear!" She started backing away. "What the heck is a bear doing here!" She started panicking now.

"Calm down." There was that voice again. That commanding, authority filled, enchanting voice that made her shiver with delight if only the voice was using the right words. She couldn't help but obey. Someone was leaned over in the doorway. He looked a little beaten and tired though still maintained a smirk on his face. He walked over to her and the bear.

"Bepo, go help the others."

Bepo gave a salute and said, "Yes, Captain." He walked out and closed the door. It was dark again.

"Hn...A 'talking' bear..." The last thing Kai saw was the man looking at her just before the last sliver of light slid over his form and disappeared into dark nothingness.

"You are one reckless person..." The voice startled Kai because it was now behind her. She heard a flicking noise. Once, twice, then a light filled the room. She saw the man in a better light and remembered him.

"You're the guy from the auction house!" She realized.

"Yeah."

"Where am I? Who are you?"

"My name is Trafalgar Law, as I've told you before. But you can call me captain and you are on my submarine."

"What! I'm not supposed to be here! I have to get back with my crew!" Kai began panicking again. What was going on! She hardly remembered anything. She has to get back to the Merry Go.

"You are with your crew."

"What? I don't get it."

"You are on my crew now."

"How so?" Kai sat up and groaned in pain.

"Try not to sit up. You'll open your wounds again."

"Why do you care?" Kai could hardly argue with the man. She could barely talk.

"I take care of all my crew mates."

"Again, how am I on your crew?" Kai questioned. Law explained how he told her previous crew mates if he saved her then she had to join his crew. They had no way to save her and cammie so they agreed. Kai felt a bit upset. Even her eyes began welling with tears and turned puffy. She looked away trying to hid it.

"Whats wrong?" Law asked.

"Just...nothing. I didn't think my crew would actually give me away."

"They were reluctant. Trust me. They were only thinking of what was best for you." Law reassured her. "Now I'm not here to be your psychiatrist. I'm here to heal you."

Kai couldn't argue with him, "What are you…some kind of doctor?"

"Yes."

"Cool." She closed her eyes. A tear rolled down the side of her face and as she fell asleep again she could have sworn she felt something brush against her face wiping the tear away.
