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

Chapter 19: Doflamingo

"Kyros!" he exclaimed. 

"You will pay for what you've done!" Kyros shouted. Swords clashed, although Diamante's was missing a tip. Diamante pushed Kyros back, Kyros landed in front of Rebecca. "Rebecca, I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything for you as a toy, but don't worry it'll all be over now. You don't have to fight anymore."

Tears streamed down Rebecca's face when she saw her father standing before her. Unable to utter a word, she just nodded as she cried. 

"Rebecca! Key!" 

The red haired girl's head perked when she heard a familiar voice. "Luffy?" 

Rebecca looked down the cliff, and she saw a strange glass like staircase leading to the Flower Hill from the third level. Luffy was running up the stair case, his hand out stretched. Rebecca placed the key in Luffy's hand. The rubber boy unlocked Law's handcuffs on their way up.

"Finally! I'm free!" Law exclaimed in relief. 

"We're here! Fourth Level! Mingo's gotta be here somewhere!" Luffy said. 

"Law! Straw Hat!" Diamante shouted. He swung his sword at the two young pirate captains, but the instant his sword started flying towards them it was deflected by a swift flash. Diamante had forgotten about the girl standing in front of him. For a second it was as if she had become invisible, erased her own presence when Kyros arrived. But now there was that menacing aura again. 

The girl had taken her hand off of her face, showing the large amount of blood smeared on it. Combined with her red hair, it was just two blue orbs in the midst of a sea of red. Diamante gasped, taking a few steps back. "Don't you dare lay a fucking finger on my captain." 

Just as she was about to take another swing, Kyros stepped in front of her. "Please, just this man, let me take him."

The girl relaxed her stance, and stepped back for the man. 

"Shanna!" Law gasped. The Heart Pirate captain ran to the girl and grabbed her by the shoulders. "What's with all the blood? What happened?"

"Law!" Shanna smiled when she saw the face of her captain. She wrapped her arms around Law's torso. "You're okay!" He's alive! That was all the information she needed for her heart to settle back where it belongs. All the tension disappeared, and the only thing matter was that he was in her arms again.

"I'm sorry guys. It looks like I've got my hands full with this one. Can I trust you with taking care of Doflamingo?" Kyros asked the young pirates behind him.

"Of course!" Law, Luffy, and Shanna responded. 

Law looked at Shanna's head worriedly. Shanna smiled at him reassuringly. "I'm okay. Let me come with you," she whispered. Law nodded. 

He took her hand in his. "We're going to Doflamingo's place!" 

"Let's go!" Luffy shouted.

The three of them started running for the palace. "I won't let you!" Diamante's sword started to bend and flap once again, stretching towards the pirates as they ran past him. 

"Room!" Shanna hit his sword back with her hammer, that being her last contact with him before she and Law and Luffy disappeared from the sunflower field. "Shambles."

Shanna and Luffy landed on the ground in front of the palace pool garden. Shanna recognized this place. She was here before, after she fought Gladius and chased after Luffy but got lost. "Ugh..." Law grunted.

"Law!" Shanna gasped. She stood up and ran to him, her eyes full of worry. "Are you okay?"

"What happened?!" Luffy asked.
