The swarm of zombies that were flooding closer to the girl instantly pulled back at your shout, and as the undead hoard shuffled to evade your rage, the people in the stands went quiet in baffled confusion.

Realizing how bad this was, you regained your senses and breathed, watching the child dart her head around in bewilderment, you went back to your act as you clumsily stumbled towards her alone, wearily keeping an eye on the hoard in case one would dart out again.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, knowing how strange it was for one zombie to be approaching food whilst the rest backed off, you sweated as the child inched away from you, obviously frozen with fear.

Turning your face from the crowd, you did the first thing that came to your mind and winked, which seemed to have worked immediately, seeing the girl's face light up in shock before ultimately calming down.

Though things didn't seem to like going to plan, because as you almost got to her, it seemed one zombie was gone enough to actually risk his neck against you and limp towards the kid from behind.

Immediately being set off, you darted forwards, reeled back a fist, and blew the head off- though you didn't completely regret it as much as you would've, since the head fly up into the stands and zoom by the creep's face! Yes!

Moving fast after that, you rushed to the kid, knelt down to scoop them onto your back, and began to scream like hell, causing the zombie hoard to immediately scatter as a reaction.

All hell began to break apart at that.

The people in the stands lost their minds, running around, rushing to where they thought safety was- and consequentially causing very few to lose balance and fall below, ending up as munchies for the monsters.

Doflamingo though- you just had to look, pushed the corpses off of him, stood up, and just watched you...

Creepy as hell.

Keeping a good grip on the girl, you decided you didn't like the slow pace of the hoard and tried to jump over them, which ended up badly.

Of course, you never tried to jump at full strength before, and sadly, you underestimated yourself once again as you burst into the air, only hearing the girl wail her head off with how high you jumped- hell you could see the whole village from up there! She nearly popped your head off as gravity worked it's magic to bring you back to earth.

Your only two options were either- landing on the ground and probably snapping both your legs, or landing on that creep's sofa and wishing the best.

Unfortunately, for the kid's safety, you chose the greater evil in exchange for less of a risk to her life.

Landing ass down on his shitty throne, you swear you felt a spring break and launch itself into your ass- but that fucked up bastard and his creepy grin were ranking higher on your list of concerns.

Patting the kid over from behind for any injuries, you wearily watched the man who literally towered over you without even trying, just standing there with his creepy grin- which you realized, was so much worse up close, as now you were seeing the explicit details, and it didn't help that he literally looked like he was about to jump you.

Like what the hell was wrong with this guy?! Usually men were concerned about you jumping them! Not the other way around!

He's a freak! A super mega freak! That was the only explanation you had that would make sense to you!

"You're.. not alive.." you flinched at his words, not because of what he said, but the tone, it was like he was so giddy, ecstatic even.

The suggestion in it made your body physically shrivel up, and his grin only widened- which aggravated the Glasgow smile and caused the edges of his lips to drip blood.

Holy shit, you were quaking in your little booties.

Immediately being set off just as someone burst through the door behind the throne, you were gone like a ghost.

Bolting at full speed, you jogged outta there like a parkour expert, jumping over everything and anything and leaping over the barbed walls like nothing until you were sure you were outta there.

The only words racing through your mind was, 'nope nope nope nope-'

Slowing down as you made it until you couldn't see the village anymore, you went into a light jog towards the spot you knew Law hid the Polar Tang.

'He's not gonna be happy.. oh fuck, oh god..'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back at the arena, things were still left in chaos.

People were in a panic, the zombies were excited, and nobody knew what to think.

The only one left in the stands was Doflamingo, still left smiling before his throne as a few people approached him from inside.

"Doffy!" A large man in a robe wobbled out, having arrived just in time to have seen you run off, he made a double take in the direction you fled in and looked the blonde over, "Doffy! That tramp didn't hurt you did she?! Ne ne, ne ne, she didn't hurt you did she?!"

The man only chuckled, slowly losing his composure until he burst into laughter, falling back against his throne to keep himself from falling over, the larger man just stood in confusion.

Another person came through the door and waited quietly until Doflamingo's laughs died down into chuckles again, once the laughter ended, the man approached his side and tightened his grip on his shotgun, "you want me to go after her young master?"

Finally, Doflamingo acknowledged his companions, and shaded eyes fell onto the shotgun in the man's hands, "Vergo.." once it grew quiet enough, the blonde could hear the hisses and growls of the zombie girls, and a twinge of annoyance shook his smile, "can I see that gun for a moment?"

Without question, the man immediately handed the gun to his master, and Doflamingo simply rose up and turned to the collection of zombies in the back.

To the shock of both his men, they watched as bullets were sent through each of the girl's heads, causing all of them to slump over.

"Doffy!" The taller man roared, he shuffled over to the girls and shouted in alarm at the abruptness of it all, "what are you doing, Doffy?! It took us forever to find the perfect girls to please you!"

Doflamingo only tossed the shotgun aside and walked back to the ledge, staring back to where you vanished- still with that sickening grin.

"None of those were perfect... not like that one"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly, Law didn't yell at you as soon as you flew into the van, in fact, he still hasn't said a word since you've driven off.

Peeking up from where you've been staring at some spot on the floor, you first watched Law bandage the little girl up, checking her over in what must have been a full medical examination, but then your eyes trailed over to the two stooges in the driver and passenger seats- who were also uncharacteristically silent.

You'd see Shachi turn his head back to you repeatedly and whisper to Penguin, their voices were too hushed to make out what they were saying, however, from their behavior, it wouldn't take a genius to take an accurate guess.

Turning your head back to the floor when you felt silver eyes glance over in your direction, you were too zoned out to really notice much of the things after that, when Law and the little girl stroke up a conversation, you barely even heard a mummer.

Until the doctor came up to you and clasped your shoulder.

It took you a moment to react, but eventually you gave in and turned to face him, only breaking the solemn expression you held when you were met with a pout.

Law of all people was pouting, and as much as you hated to admit it, you swore there were traces of unshed tears as well, "(Y/n).. is everything Tama said true..?"

"A-a..?" Feeling your throat get scratchy, you raised a hand- only to feel something wet fall on your fingers.

Looking down, it took you a few moments to realize you were crying the whole time, probably since you got in.

'Oh.. that's why Law didn't yell at me..'

Turning back to the surgeon in a new light, you fought to calm down and scrambled for your pen and notebook, where you continued to struggle even more with the words considering your hands were still shaky from all the adrenaline.

'Sorry.. I wasn't listening..'

Law frowned at the page, and grimaced, looking guilty- which you honestly thought was uncharacteristic of him.

As long as you knew him, the bastard seemed like a bitch who was sadistically apathetic to everyone except for the people he gave a shit about.

"I'm so sorry.." lowering the notebook at that, your jaw hung open at the confession- even Penguin and Shachi looked back in shock.

Watching the young man bite his lip, everything seemed to have gradually began falling apart as he clutched his hat, slowly but surely he began to curl up on himself, "I- I- never should have even thought of bringing you there.. I'm so sorry- if I knew what was going on- I-" before you even thought of doing it, your hand whipped up and slapped him across the face.

Ignoring the muffled hoot from the two stooges in the front, you gave Law your own stern pout and struggled with your lips, "S-s-sd-sd-daaap.. b-bee-inn ssh-shooo.. moo-mo-moooddy.." instantly brightening up at the astonished look on his face, a grin nearly broke yours.

To your relief, instead of drawing a scalpel on you, the supernova seemed to have taken your advice and calmed down, letting his features relax into his usual smirk, "alright, sorry about that, and- sorry about.. everything else, I didn't think that bastard would go so far off the rails.."

Looking back to.. Tama, he said her name was Tama, she looked between the two of you and blinked owlishly.

"Are you two dating..?"

Right after she asked that, the Polar Tang suddenly lurched to the side, causing you to fall into Law and end up knocking him under you.

"Penguin watch what you're doing!" Hearing Shachi scold the other in the front, you were left staring down at a blushing, shocked Law, and you yourself were blushing intensely as well.

This was not a very good position..

Hating how fast your face would turn red now that you were dead, you were quick to turn away and shyly crawl off the other, Law though, didn't move for awhile until Tama starting giggling.

Sitting up at that, he looked to the girl with a mischievous look and smirked, wagging his finger playfully at her, he shook his head, "ohohoho, what a naughty little girl you are.."

You thought it was kind of like how Luffy would be sometimes, and suddenly just like with your leader, you felt so safe when he watched you with warm eyes.

"As for the dating thing kid.. that uh.. might wait" the Polar Tang lurched off the road at that.
