––––––

It had already been five years since the events that took place on Zou.
The heart pirates had kept their promise to help the Straw-hats out in Wano after Law had reimbursed their alliance and were eventually victorious. 

It had been messy and many of them barely came out of it alive, but it had been a victory nonetheless. The celebration had gone on for weeks once Luffy became an emperor, eventually ending with him resuming his quest to become pirate king and finding the One Piece.

Apart from articles Law read every once in a while, concerning the Straw-hats – that had been the last thing he had heard since then. 

For the past three years after the Wano war, there was only one thing on his mind now that he was free from his promise to Luffy and from his own pursuit of revenge – finding (Y/N).

His crew had not been happy about it since they still held resentment towards her for nearly killing their captain. But since Law did not waver in his decision for a second, they learned to live with it. However, they were far from accepting it and shared a common promise to make sure she knew it – should she ever join their crew.

This concerned Bepo and the poor navigator spent several nights awake, contemplating whether or not he was going to warn his captain about the hostility and the crews' plans.

In the end, not wanting to betray anyone, he had decided to wait it out and see what would happen. Maybe his captain would give up or maybe the crew would change their minds?

But Law was not giving up, even going as far as to contact an old acquaintance, who definitely kept track of the movements of the marines, who owed him a favor. Perhaps she could pick up on any reports on (Y/N)'s sighting.

"Alright, Trafalgar. Just send me a few," the woman on the other line cleared her throat, "special photographs and I'll consider it." 

"Need I remind you that you owe me a favor, Chiaki-ya?" Law sighed while pinching the bridge of his nose. 

He had met the woman at Sabaody when he caught her taking pictures of him and Kidd. After confronting her, he was surprised when she had casually told them that she was part of the revolutionary army as their hacker. 

'It's not like you could ever trace anything back to me'  she had explained with a smug grin before suddenly disappearing. To this day he has no idea if it had been the result of a devil fruit.

It wasn't until Marineford that they had run into each other again, where she had begged him to save her friends' life, hence her owing him a favor.

But his hopes were momentarily shattered when she had reminded him of them being even when she had supplied him with information about Doflamingos connections with Kaido.

"You're so cute when you frown.~" the brunette chuckled. But she had noticed the brief look on the surgeons' face seconds earlier. "Oh well, I'll make an exception since I have such a big heart," He heard her tapping away. "–and cameras set up in your room."

His impatient expression dropped. "Excuse me?" 

"I said I'll make an exception. Now stop bothering me."
