Operation Code Red! The String of Fate! (Trafalgar Law Fanfiction)

Chapter 6: Little Sister or Girlfriend

The captain and vice captain of the Heart Pirates headed for the sushi restaurant the fisherman told them about. And surely the fisherman was right about the restaurant, because it was crowded with people. "Wow, this place must be very popular!" Shanna exclaimed. Law and Shanna were seated at the counter because all the tables were taken. It wasn't exactly romantic, but Shanna was too excited about the food to really care. 

"Hey mister, you don't look familiar. First time here?" asked the chef behind the sushi bar.

"Yeah," Law nodded.

The chef then turned his gaze towards Shanna. "And this is your little sister?" 

"Ye-"

"I'm his girlfriend!" Shanna corrected with a frown. 

The sushi chef gasped, "Oh I'm so sorry. Miss you look so young I thought for sure you were his little sister."

Again with that... People keep treating me like a kid, Shanna thought. She looked down at the baggy boiler suit on her. It's all because of this stupid suit. Just as she was thinking about how to improve her sex appeal, a smack landed on the top of her head. "Ow!" she cried.

"Stop spouting nonsense. Since when did you become my girlfriend?" Law stated. He then turned towards the sushi chef. "Yeah she's something like a little sister. We'll take a look at the menu." Shanna lifted her head and glared at Law, growling in the depth of her throat. 

The food was delicious. The fisherman was completely right about the flying swordfish meat. It blew away all the frustration Shanna had about the chef's comment. It's not like she wasn't already used to it. After they got out of the sushi restaurant the sky was already dark. 

"Should we head back to the ship?" Shanna asked. 

Law took a look at the handful of shopping bags in their hands, and then decided, "Yeah. It's getting late. We should go back."

They headed down the street, towards the port. Most of the shops were getting ready to close, but some pubs were still open. Night time is also the prime time of the red light district, so on the way, Law and Shanna saw a few women on the streets wearing revealing clothes, and calling out to men who walk by them. Shanna frowned at the sight of those women, and stuck close to Law. 

However, just being by his side didn't seem to do much, because three voluptuous women wearing thin strapped cropped tank top and short shorts barely covering their ass stopped the two pirates on their way to the port. "Hey handsome, care to come play?" one of the women asked. 

"Hey, back off he's with me," Shanna said, stepping in front of Law. She glared at the three women, hoping to scare them off. Anyhow, maybe it was because Shanna isn't a very tall person to begin with, or maybe it's because heels gave those women extra height, Shanna's presence didn't really do a good job in intimidating them.

The three women blinked in shock at Shanna, but quickly broke out into a fit of laughter. "Who is she? You're little sister? She's cute, but lame," said one of the prostitutes. 

"Excuse me?!" Shanna demanded. 

"What's with this outfit? It's a fashion disaster," commented another as she pinched a piece of Shanna's boiler suit.

The third, and probably the sexiest one of the three, walked past Shanna, and literally stuck herself onto Law, pressing onto him with her F cup breasts. "Hey, stop babysitting your little sister and come have some fun with us. What do you say?" she asked. 

"Law!" Shanna shouted desperately. Law stared at the woman in front of him for a moment, then he glanced at Shanna. Shanna looked like she desperately wanted Law to say something, defend her, tell these people that she isn't his little sister. Her ocean blue eyes bored right into his silver grey ones, nearly screaming the word 'please.' 

"Shanna, you go back to the ship. I'm going with them for a bit," Law's words were like a bomb that dropped right on top of Shanna's head. What?! She wanted to scream. Law is going to go with them? He's going to leave her for them?! She was too shocked to even move, unable to process what was going on.

The three prostitutes simply laughed. "See little sister? Your big brother wants to come with us~" the girl who commented on the boiler suit said as she brushed by Shanna. "Let's go handsome~"

Shanna simply stood in place as she watched Law disappear into the alleyway with the three older women. For the first time in her life, the female pirate felt defeat. 

...

Law opened the door to some room in the laboratory. By now Shanna had no idea where they were. The moment Law opened the door, Shanna saw a puff of smoke, or some sort of gas floating in the air, and gradually form into a human shape. Logia type, Shanna recognized. 

"Just what have you done Law?" the gas person demanded.

Law glared at the man before them, and said, "I'm the one who should be complaining, Caesar."

"Shulolololo! And who is that? Did you bring a new test subject for my experiment?" the man named Caesar asked. He floated over, and stuck his face right in front of Shanna. The girl leaned back, trying to preserve some personal space. "Shulolololo! What a nice find!"

"Keep your filthy hands off of her," said Law. "She's my girlfriend!" 

"Eh?" Caesar turned towards Law in confusion.

"Eh?" Shanna too, turned towards Law in confusion.

EEEEHHHHHH?!

Law placed himself in between Caesar and Shanna, and continued. "She followed me with my vivre card," he explained, er, lied. "Don't worry, she won't tell anyone about this place."

Caesar frowned and inspected Law and Shanna. His eyes trailed from their expressions down to their intertwined hands. From the looks of it, Law doesn't seem to be lying. "How did you find this place?" Caesar asked Shanna.

"D-Didn't Law just tell you? I used his vivre card," Shanna followed up on Law's lie. Even though she doesn't know what Law is plotting, and why he's telling such a white lie, but she could tell from his expression that he doesn't want things to go down south with this man before her. 

Law is always plotting something. He's been a calculative man, one who follows plans and tactics. In order to achieve what he wants, Law can't afford to become enemies with this Caesar guy. Just as Shanna understood Law immediately, Law too trusted Shanna to go with his lie accordingly.

"Shulolololo! And why did you come here?" asked Caesar suspiciously. 

"I-I was worried about Law...since I hadn't seen him in a while," Shanna answered. She glanced at Law, and to her surprise he was smirking at her! What the heck? What's with that face?! I'm following up on your lie and what's with that smirk of yours? she thought. She felt heat rising up to her face, but she couldn't tell whether it was out of embarrassment or anger. 

Law pulled out a beating heart from his coat, and handed it to Caesar. Shanna's eyes widened at the beating heart. Earlier she saw the marine that was unconscious on the ground. He had a whole in his chest, could this be his heart?

Just what is Law plotting? And why is he keeping her here with him? What's happening with the Straw Hats? Did they meet up with Nami and the others? So many questions played in Shanna's head, but she didn't know what to do.
