Death can't have her

Training with Shiki

After taking a shower, Shiki changed back into the outfit that Reika had picked out for her and began the painstakingly task of drying her wet hair.

She couldn't help but stare at 'Manly Man!' once again while showering. It was such a... bold choice and couldn't help but wonder who uses it.

As she walked passed a room while wondering which guy or polar bear uses it, agonized screams echoed through the halls, wailing and shrieking.

She raised a brow when the smell of blood came from the door and wondered how much mess Law was creating in there.

As another tortured scream and blood splattering on walls echoed through the metal door, Shiki continued walking, working on drying the tip of her hair while walking out to the deck, sensing that Bepo was probably enjoying the breeze before he had to come back into this stuffy contraption.

By the time she reached there, she saw Bepo lying on the ground with a content smile on his furry face.

Shiki couldn't resist the adorable bear and jogged over to the sleeping polar bear, staring at the snot bubble expanding and contracting.

She thought back to the last time she took a proper sleep or even a nap but decided she can't be bothered and started to climb on top of the polar bear's belly.

"Captain" the bear mumbled out, sleepily, dreaming that his captain had come out to join his nap, but the scent was different than usual, and so was the position. But the unconscious bear didn't put much thought into it since it didn't smell like a threat.

Curling herself into a ball, Shiki clutched the fluffy white towel to her chest and let her eyes drift, letting the motion of Bepo's stomach, gently move up and down like a soothing rocking pattern, lull her to sleep.

Shiki let out a deep sigh, letting her mind surrender to sleep, but not before declaring that this was her spot.

Shachi and Penguin couldn't help but shudder at the wailing that was coming from the Surgical Room.

They needed to hide before it was finished as the one that Law saw first, would be the unfortunate souls to dispose one of his experiments when he was done.

None of the work areas could be used as they were already occupied, having used the chance to secure their spots while the two head mechanics took the marines in. Plus it would be suspicious to be doing a different job than the one they had.

Hiding in their room wasn't an option since Law will give them the job automatically for not doing anything productive while he was he in his experimental mood.

They weren't that scared of blood or the insides of a person, they were also medics-all Heart Pirates has at least some medical knowledge-but with Law's experiments, they were a bit squeamish.

Penguin let out a defeated sigh as all jobs, spots and hiding place was taken, no wondering fool around, "Captain should be finished soon." he muttered, hunching forward in a depressed manner. With the way the marines screamed, they didn't sound like they were going to last long.

Shachi huffed, determined not to be on clean up duty, "There's got to be someone who doesn't mind Captain's mess!" he said with optimism.

Penguin gave him a pointed look, before letting out a defeated sigh, Shachi joined him as well since that idea was just unheard of. Apart from the Captain, who else could deal with his experiments?
