I do not own One Piece


...............................................................

  The crowd's demand for blood had silenced as soon as Katsu had stabbed herself. Their confusion quickly shifted when they all realized the pirates were beginning to attack. Panic filled their eyes as they all rushed to leave the coliseum.

"The Straw Hat Pirates are attacking!" Their King yelled to them, standing up from his seat. "Run! My guards and I will take care of the rest!"

The nobles cried in appreciation to their brave monarch. They held onto their children as guards ushered them out. Only a few remained seated.

Three individuals, all seated together. Their eyes widened from shock. They didn't know what they had just witnessed. However, they now understood that the royal family wasn't as kind as they all thought them to be.

"You should leave."

They turned to the man that spoke. A yellow toga cloaked him, but it did little to hide the cluster of tattoos on his body. Rather it seemed to help the ink stand out even more. Though, they were certain that the big round spotted hat on his head stood out far more than the rest of him.

He didn't belong here.

"Room." He muttered, holding his hand out. "Go tell the people what you saw. Shambles."

Then, the three people were gone.

Law glared down at the figures beginning to crowd at arena stage. He always knew Katsu to be reckless. She was easy to pick a fight with for that specific reason. Be that as it may, she had never been one to willingly throw away her life.

There was only one reason he could find as to why she made such a decision that equaled her life. His gaze landed on the Straw Hat and he sighed.

She was going to kill herself in hopes of her crew being saved. The royal family would have no need for them if she was dead. At the very least, he assumed she was aiming to kill herself. The location of her wound did make him reconsider why she would aim specifically towards the location of her left ovarie if she was aiming to mainly kill herself, as he was sure she would have enough knowledge to aim for a faster kill.

From the distance he couldn't strongly determine how much she had wounded herself. Even until she was in the operating room he wasn't sure was fully she had damaged considering how her body had been rearranged from the scientist on the ship. Law was sure, however, that she was going to be needing a doctor soon.

"When did you become so loyal, Katsu-ya?" Law mused, standing up as he felt more guards approaching. "It seems I missed out on quite the loyal, but troublesome, crew mate."

He wondered if her brother wanted to join a crew. It could be more of a reason for them to visit, which would be more enjoyable when Zoro would show his clear distaste for Law. Rather, Law wondered if the twin could be a good wingman.

Another sigh escaped him when hands sprouted on all of the guards and bent them backwards. Groans and cries of pain filled the exit tunnel. Law looked up the stairs to see a smirking Robin.

"I've got this side covered." She stated, "If you would like to be useful, that side remains open."

He grumbled, taking off towards the other side of the arena.

Why did he agree to work with the Straw Hat's again?

...........................................................................

With his twin just now being taken away to safety, relief filled him. Sato panted as he shoved down another guard. His vision blurred for a moment, only causing him to stumble. When an arm reached out to steady him, he took another breath and stood up.

"Take it easy!" Sanji called out, kicking away another guard. "You're in as bad shape as Katsu-chan was!"

"Yeah, you should sit this out." Zoro added.

Sato scoffed, making himself stand taller as he glared at the two pirates. "You both keep your hands off Mitsu." They both blinked in surprise. "Like hell I'm going to let you be the ones to save her!"

He wasn't going to fail this time.

"The hell did he just say?!" Zoro glared at the twin.

"He needs a nap." Luffy nodded, his arm snapping back into place after Sato stood back up. The Captain remembered how cranky Katsu would be just before she would fall asleep. "And food."

The ground trembled, nearly making Sato lose his footing. The pirates looked up to see that Italus had jumped down to join them.

Under him the ground caved in. His violet eyes looked down at Sato and he scoffed. "Falling over, I see. I guess it's time for me to teach you then. Since your twin ended up being even more useless than you."

"Oi!" Luffy slammed his foot down, stepping in front of Italus. "Fat King! I'm gonna kick your ass!"

Italus shifted his gaze to look over Luffy. His nose wrinkled in disgust when he saw the dirt that covered the Captain's red toga. "Why should I waste my time on such an insignificant pirate? I'm a King. You're nothing-" He head shifted to the side as Luffy moved to punch him.

"You're looking at the Future King of the Pirates!" Luffy glared, his eyes white with rage. "So you should show some respect! Nobody gets away with hurting my Nakama!"

Sato watched as Luffy sprang forward. Italus avoiding the blows that Luffy was throwing at him effortlessly. Then, the pirate was sent flying back.

"Luffy!" Sato shouted, his eyes widening with worry. His panic subsided when Luffy was already back up.

Luffy's arms coated themselves in black as he stretched them out behind him as he ran forward with a yell. Italus simply rose his arm up, similarly coated with haki.

"Sato, foolish boy." His eyes widened, snapping his attention away from the Captain. Kitiara walked towards him, her eyes narrowed in to glare at him.

For once her white hair was tied up, giving full view of the jagged scar that ran over her right eye and ended at her chest. The only sight that gave Sato some satisfaction.

He willed away him exhaustion, allowing a familiar air to overtake him as he met Kitiara's glare. "Maybe it's time I add onto that scar I gave you." She appeared to stumble for a moment before collecting herself to sneer at him.

He moved before she could. Kitiara only had seconds to block his attack, barely able to pull out her axe to swing back at him. When his fingers came over the haki infused blade, he clasped his hands down onto it. Her eyes widened in shock when she blade broke into tiny pieces. When she looked down at Sato, seeing the smirk that grew on his face, a new feeling sparked inside of her.

One that made her want to run.

"You're the weak on!" She proclaimed as Sato snatched a chunk of her broken blade. "You couldn't kill a simple beggar!"

He glared at her, an overwhelming feeling surrounding the air as he let his haki out just a little more. "You're mistaken. Only the weak would kick a person when they're down. I've been taught that not everything needs to be solved with a fight. However, I, myself, have a need to tear down those who date to impose on the weak." He took another step forward, this time looking down at the white haired woman as he stood to his full height. "Now, you have nothing to hold me back." He sent out his foot, connecting it with the stunned woman's chest to send her flying. "I'm really going to let loose now."

He sprang forward after her, the ground crumbling under his feet as he jumped forward. The blade in his hand covered itself in haki as he reached his other arm out to grab onto her shirt.

Lone Star Sato was finally free, and he was finally going to take revenge. Revenge towards his lost mother. Towards the suffering his sister was put through. Towards the lost time they could have had with their father. Revenge towards the star shaped scar on his face.

He was going to be the last star Kitiara would ever see.
