The Black Blade Assassin

The Psycho, Hana Island, and Crazy Assassin Bitches

 "Are we nearly there?" Saki whines. "It's been hours!"

Nyx sighs. 'We go through this every time! Can you see an island? No! So, no, we aren't nearly there!'

Saki huffs and pouts. "But I wanna see Law!!!"

'Yeah, so do I. But we won't magically appear next to the bastard, so-' Nyx suddenly gets cut off by a blue dome engulfing them and their boat.

Saki laughs. "You were saying, Nyx?"

Saki had appeared on the Polar Tang 'magically'.

Nyx scoffs. 'Bastard.'

Saki could hear the underlying happiness in her tone, though.

"Hiya Law!!" Saki grins, standing up and tackling the poor Heart Captain off his feet.

"Oof-" He grunts.

Penguin winces, worried for Saki's life.

Saki gasps, pushing off Law, and accidentally steps on his face. "BEPOOOO!!!!" She squeals and disappears in a mass of fluff. "I missed youuuuu!!!!"

This time every crewmember present (which was probably 7 not including Bepo), grimaced. They always expected their captain to lose his cool when Saki was around. Don't get them wrong, they love Saki, but sometimes they feared for all their lives, hence why the whole crew wasn't gathered at the moment.

Bepo blushes. "I missed you too, Saki-chan."

Law deadpans. Poor guy isn't even surprised Saki hurt him in the first two seconds of seeing each other again. You could say he's used to it.

"Saki-ya. We need to talk."

"Uh-huh." Saki nods absentmindedly, too preoccupied with hugging the fluffy polar bear.

Law sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. "Saki-ya. Now."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm listening." she waves him off.

"You most definitely are not." Law sighs again. "Just swap out with Nyx-ya if you aren't going to listen."

Nyx bristles. 'Just because I like him more than most people doesn't mean I'm going to swap out with you. I hate doing that. It takes up too much time and energy.'

Saki wholeheartedly agreed with Nyx and said so.

"Then listen. Bepo let go of Saki."

"I'm sorry." Bepo hangs his head in shame.

Saki reluctantly let go of Bepo, but not without kissing his cheek which immediately drew him out of his depressed state. "Fine..."

Penguin and the other men sulk. "How come he gets a kiss and we don't....?"

"Shachi is in the infirmary."

Saki's eyes widen. "What?"

Law finally had her attention. "He was fatally injured by a couple of assassins. You know them?" he got straight to the point.

Saki starts to pace. "Two of them? Obviously partners, then."

Law nods. "That's what I thought."

"I usually did jobs by myself. Only a handful of times I've had a partner..." Saki rubs her temples. "I have contacts, though. I can get in touch and identify them pretty quick."

Law hums. He wasn't used to Saki being serious. He could count on one hand how many times he's seen her like this. "Do that. The sooner we identify them, the sooner we can figure out their weapons and fighting styles. I'd have asked Shachi by now but he's still unconscious."
