-Post-War Arc

  "No standing on the leg for at least six weeks." Law ordered as Shachi and Penguin annoyingly agreed with his orders. "I won't be generous and fix it a second time."

The operation didn't last long, Luffy was still unconscious even. The women of Amazon Lily were kind enough to lend a hand in helping make a pair of crutches, under Law's instruction. They happily talked to you yet, not the others, men. Staying true to there culture, it made sense. The day became, once again, normal as the girls left and the birds were left to chirp. It was as calm as could be yet many like to quote the calm before the storm.

Screams were heard from the submarine as Law and Jimbei ran to see the commotion, soon stopping to a halt as something rocketed through the air, lading on the ground soon after. This something was Luffy, he screamed out for his brother.

The screams were agonising to hear, though Luffy was in such a mental state all that mattered was Ace. It hurt to hear, something triggered inside you to make you shake and cry as if the boy was your child and you his mother, unable to do anything. You managed to calm down a bit when Jimbei and Law were talking about Luffy yet, it came back again when Luffy was screaming in the forest, the emotions wavered such as the tides.

"Huh? Listen. I think the kid stopped screaming."

"Yeah, about that. Where did straw hat run off to anyway? I mean, he's going to die if that wound reopens up, right?" Shachi and Penguin were talking casually, likely more concerned then their captain. Though it was hard to tell after all Law kept a tight grip on Luffy's straw hat the whole time, indicating at least something.

"Huh? Ah. I caught one, nice." Shachi caught a fish, everyone being at the least, slightly impressed by the action.

An unusual gust of wind blew, something was off. Jumping out of the water was a large sea king that mysteriously and suddenly died soon after.

Someone walked onto the island from the ocean. This man was quite the surprise, and seemed to be aging well, was non other then Silvers Rayleigh the right hand man to the pirate king. Through the treacherous waters of the calm belt, he swam merely taking it as an exercise. He rinsed out his clothes, as if everything was normal. He was definitely a person you don't want to be enemies with that's for sure.

He came asking for Luffy but not with any ill intent. It was a weird thing for the pirate king's right hand man to be asking for a young scrawny straw hat wearing pirate rookie, there is something special about that kid and even you noticed it.

"And what are you doing here, young lady? You don't seem to fit in with the crowd and certainly aren't a resident of Amazon lily. So tell me your story."

"I'm sure you already know why." You teased the humble man, already being used to his presence though only knowing him for a few minutes at best.

The elder man chuckled at your bold response.

"You aren't wrong. I just wanted to hear it from yourself." He obviously noticed the broken leg and crutches, even the prison attire you still wore, also you remembered you should probably ask the women for a change of clothes later.

"What will you be doing?" Jean Bart asked you, looking down as you were much smaller. The Heart Pirates were about to leave, he was inquiring on where you'll go after this seeing as you didn't seem to have plans. Even Law seemed interested as his eyes flickered in your direction the moment the question was asked.

"We wouldn't mind you tagging along with us." Penguin and Shachi certainly wouldn't deny you coming with them, obviously as they are head over heals for women and barely able to contain themselves.

"Well, I'm not sure. There is somewhere I need to go but I might stay on the island for a short while, if the empress allows me that is."

"If not I'd be more then welcome to escort this young lady to somewhere safer." Rayleigh assured both you and the heart pirates.

With one swift throw of Luffy's straw hat, the group of pirates left in their submarine, off on a boundless journey across, or more so in, the treacherous waters of the sea.
