Second Chances

A/N: I'm really super sorry to everyone who's followed and favourited my other works recently, only for me to not have updated yet! However, I'm going to try and explain why and hopefully you'll cut me some slack 3 So I'm like really behind atm, at school, so I'm using most of my holiday time to catch back up, however, once I've caught back up, I'll be able to whip out updates nearly every week! YUSH! However, I've used like a couple hours of my 'sleep time,' on One Piece, so now, compared to what I've said in previous fics, I've now seen Gear 4, and Law's past and Sabo being generally Ace-like XD I'm now on episode 730 of 735, which is great! So I'm going to be going back and including Law into Memory Lane, because it means I can make it Lawlu . I'm crazy for Lawlu ;D

In terms of this, I don't expect it to be long at all, but I've had the idea floating in my head since I saw Law's past. Technically we don't see his sister's death, sure the hospitals on fire, and she never turns up or anything, so she's pretty much 99% dead. But Law...my bae...I need to sort his terrible life out, because Oda has no mercy on him ;-; So yeah, I just want to try and make Law's life better, and that's why I wrote this, instead of updating my other fics. Because, I can't let Law be so traumatic :c

Equally, it's also because I couldn't find a single fic on the entire website where Lammie survives ;-; YUSH, LETS GO! (And before someone tells me it's 'Yosh,' I know, but I stylise it as Yush, to make it personal to myself.)

Disclaimer: Oda (the heartbreaker) owns One Piece, and thus is my God. I hope one day he shall realise my awesomeness, and give me the rights to One Piece, so I can revive Ace XD

One:

After Dressrosa, Law had lost his sense of purpose. This wasn't as horrible as it sounded, he hadn't tried to do himself any harm, or anything like that, but he'd simply ended up staying with the Straw Hats, and was the subject of their concern. The Straw Hats had continued their journey, after arriving at Zo, and picking up the rest of the crew. Law's crew had been there too, and they were grateful to see their Captain once again. Said Captain remained upon the Mugiwara ship, though, much to their dismay, and as such, the crew had to follow, in their submarine. It was been a few days after leaving Zo, that the ship had spotted a small Marine ship, heading their way.

"Marines! Keep yourself alert!" Nami had yelled, spotting the ship first. Initially, both Usopp and Chopper panicked, expecting Admirals, or a huge fleet, but upon spotting the tiny singular ship, both calmed.

"Idiots, don't drop your guard, just because it's a small ship, we don't know who's on it!" Sanji scolded them, but Luffy simply laughed, at the warning.

"Don't worry Sanji, we'll be able to handle them." Luffy grinned, and Zoro nodded, giving a smirk that held a thirst for a good fight, hidden within it.

The ship had approached as a fairly moderate speed, and showed no sign of attack. It was a small ship, that maybe had only one room, off the deck itself, and thus couldn't house more than four people, at most.

Upon the deck stood a lone Marine, a woman, who the crew noted was a Vice Admiral. Which put them on a slight alert, after all Garp was only a Vice Admiral, but he had fought within the first great age of the Pirates, a Marine Hero!

"Permission to come aboard?" The Vice Admiral asked, holding her hands up, in surrender. Luffy grinned, and stretched an arm out, to pull the woman aboard.

"Luffy- wait- wai-" Most of the crew protested, but the Captain didn't stop, and thus the Marine was promptly thrown upon the deck, by the rubber appendage. She didn't look phased, by his actions, and simply broke out into a smile, brushing off her trousers.

"Thank you, Mugiwara." She bowed her head slightly at the Captain, while the rest of his crew took defensive positions, weapons raised, or in a few cases, body parts. Sanji had one leg raised slightly, Robin had crossed her arms, Franky had a fist ready, and Chopper held a Rumble ball in his hooves.

"Don't worry guys, she seems good." Luffy reassured them, making them lower their weapons slightly, their Captain's judgement of people was usually correct.

"What do you want here, Marine?" Zoro asked, the questions one that was upon everyone's lips.

"I'm looking for Trafalgar Law, we were informed we could find him with you?"

"We?"

"Torao? Why'd you need Torao?"

"There's more of them, look out,"

Most of the crew broke out into such phrases, Luffy being the only one concerned as to why the Marine asked for Law, while the rest picked up in the term 'we,' and assumed she had back up.

"We need to borrow his Op Op fruit. We believe he can help a patient of ours. And by we, I mean my partner, there's only four of us." The woman explained, and the crew took a moment to ponder what she had just said.

Trafalgar took this moment to walk onto the deck, and after spotting the Marine, grabbed his Nodachi, and took a defensive stance.

"Ah! We were right, he is with you! Great!" The Marine beamed.

"Who? What do you want?" The Heart Pirates Captain growled.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I never introduced myself, I'm Vice Admiral Komoru. Komoru Ayumi. I've come to ask for your assistance, Trafalgar." Ayumi introduced, and the man narrowed his eyes.

"Komoru? I've heard of it. But I hate the Navy, so scram!" Law replied, trying to recall where he knew the name from, but having limited luck and trying to control his anger.

"I doubt it, I haven't been on actual duty for nearly 17 years now." Ayumi muttered, shocking the crew. The Vice Admiral didn't look a day over 20.

"Ah, I ate the Preserve Preserve fruit, and have the ability to freeze, or slow people's body clocks. That's what we need your help with. Tell me, Trafalgar, as a Doctor, have you ever come across something known as 'White Lead Disease?'" The Marine asked.

The Pirate froze. Dropped his Nodachi. Took a step back.

"Where… What about it?" Law snapped, shocking the onlooking Pirate crew, who had never seen the Surgeon of Death look so pale before.

"Ah. You have. I can tell from that face." The Marine nodded, grateful she wouldn't have to explain everything, unaware of Law's past.

"Would you mind If I called for my Partner, while I explain?" The Marine asked, indicating she wanted to reach into her coat for a den den mushi, and not to attack.

"Torao..are you okay?" Luffy asked, noticing the paleness of the Captain. He said nothing, and showed no indication to having heard them Straw Hatted Captain.

Komoru quickly pulled out a purple den den, and dialled. Another female voice answered, quietly, but loud enough for the crew on the deck to hear.

"Vice Admiral Komoru?" The voice asked, and Ayumi gave a sharp yes as a reply.

"Do you want me to bring her?" The voice questions, Ayumi again gave a quick yes, before hanging up.

"It might take her a while. Anyway, you should probably take a seat, and I'll explain what I can." Most of the Straw Hat's complied, but kept their weapons close, while Luffy remained beside Law, who seems to not have heard, or simply didn't want to move, from being frozen in the doorway. Eventually, Luffy poked Law from his daze, earning a glare, before he sat down, Luffy followed, still concerned for the pirate.

"So, you can probably assume, from what I said earlier, I'm not the age I look. I've been a Marine for about 20 years, though after my last proper assignment, I haven't exactly felt the Navy's 'Justice,' to be quiet so...merciful, anymore."

A few of the crew, namely Sanji and Zoro, both scoffed at this, before turning to smack their heads against one another, glaring it out, at having both done the same thing.

"16 years ago, I was posted at a city named Flevance. The White Town. The Marines were posted to help clean up, after an epidemic." Komoru revealed, and Law grit his teeth, hand reaching back for his Nodachi, earning a confused look from Luffy.

"Except, the Navy wanted us to just kill everyone, regardless if they were infected, with the disease that had been quarantined, called White Lead Disease." As Komoru continued, a couple of crashes and a yell of annoyance could be heard from the small Marine ship.

"I'd only joined the Marines very recently, back then, and, well I couldn't comply with such orders." Komoru admitted, looking a tad sheepish at admitting to Pirates that she had betrayed orders.

"I...while in one of the buildings, I came across a child, they were pretty far on with the symptoms, and I was sure that they were probably in a lot of pain. Close to death. I ended up using my Preserve Preserve fruit on them, and managed to sneak the child to safety. I'm not sure why I did it, maybe I wanted to relieve some of the terrible actions the Navy were committing, just to give one person a chance? I don't know." Komoro stopped, when the door of the Marine boat opening, showing an equally young woman exit the boat, carrying a bundle on their back.

"They've been frozen ever since that day. I searched the best I could for a cure, without being suspicious, but in the end everyone said the same. It's incurable. Give up." Komoru sighed, and then continued.

"It wasn't until I heard about you, one of the eleven Supernova's, and your peculiar fruit, Trafalgar, that I thought you'd be able to help. Tracking you down hasn't been hard. Please. Help her. Otherwise I'll never be able to rest easy."

By which time, Komoru's partner, a Captain, with long pastel pink hair, reached the deck of the Sunny, still carrying the small bundle carefully. After her jumped a final figure, a male, a Lieutenant, with short black hair.

"I've read about Flevance, there was no survivors-" Robin interrupted, but Law cut her off, which a growl, and a face of malice, they hadn't seen except when he had faced Doflamingo.

"That's what this is for? You just want to live guilt free? One life? What about the hundreds. The Thousands. None of you did anything. Everyone died. Families, children. Everyone." Law grit out, on his feet now, Nodachi held out, pointed at the Vice Admiral, who frowned and took a step back.

"Please. At least save her. I-" Komoru ran out of words, and simply bowed her head in shame.

"Oi. Leave the Vice Admiral alone, you bastard! You don't know what she went through!" The Lieutenant snapped angrily, grabbing the sword from his belt.

Law's snapped, and brought down the Nodachi onto the Lieutenant's sword, smashing it in two in his fury. The Lieutenant jumped back, in shock, and moved to hide behind the Captain.

"What she went through? Who gives a crap what she went through. You bastards." Law snarled, and Luffy jumped to his feet, from his initial shock, to try and hold the man back.

"Torao, Torao, calm down!" Luffy pleaded, while the rest of the Straw Hat Crew were back on their feet.

"I was there. You bastards. I'm from Flevance. You killed everyone. With no mercy!" Law snapped at them, causing the Vice Admiral to take a step back, in shock. Gasps also emitted amongst the Straw Hat crew, from the women, Franky, Brook and Chopper.

"Ho..how…" Komoru finally asked, holding onto her Captains arm for support.

"I was born and raised there. I was there 16 years ago." Law snarked, failing to pull back, but not resisting against Luffy in a way that would hurt him. The Rubber teen had ended up wrapping himself around Law, to keep him from killing the Marines.

"But you'd have been just a boy- how- did," Komoru looked lost for words, so Law decided to fill her in, still resisting weakly again the rubber man clung to him.

"I was. After you slaughtered everyone, I escaped under a pile of Corpses. Of people I'd known my whole life. If I hadn't have gotten the Op Op fruit, a few years after, I'd be dead too." Law gritted out, Komoru closed her eyes and sighed, in distress.

"I'm sorry. Really. But you should understand then? My desire to help just one person? Please, just help her, and we'll leave." Komoru pleaded, and Law scrunched up his nose, but finally nodded, Luffy let the Captain go, and stood beside him. At this the Captain removed the huddled figure from her back. The child was small, and so must be fairly young. She was passed onto the Vice Admiral, who removed the oversized cloak from the child, before holding her out, to Law. A child the Captain knew well.

This was the last straw for the Heart Pirate, who finally dropped to his knees.

"La..Lami."

A/N

Shiz, sorry its so short, I was falling asleep. I reread it and found a tonne of typos, and then lost them all...so I know there's a bunch in there, but my brains so dead it can't find them anymore. I'll edit and correct tomorrow, sorry :/
