Dragon got outside to find the surgeon, Trafalgar D. Water Law, who goes by the name Trafalgar Law.

"Trafalgar D. Water Law," Dragon spoke in a low, calm voice, so that only Law, who was looking at the approaching marine ship, could hear that. 

Law stiffened for a moment and turned back. How the heck people know his secret name?!!! Law's eyes widened for a minute seeing the World's most wanted criminal standing on his deck. When did he come on his submarine? It's the worst time, the man could have shown up. First, there is a battleship coming from back and now in front of him is the Revolutionary leader.

'Fuck.'

"What do I owe the pleasure of having the leader of The Revolutionary Army on my ship?" Law said, being careful. He can't be one of the names in his target list. He can't face the most wanted man right now at least. He held his sword tightly, ready to attack if required.

"Thank you!" Law blinked his eyes repeatedly, seeing The Most Wanted Of The World, doing a light bow to him. "Thank you for saving and treating Ace, Sabo and Luffy!"

Law found his words back in his throat and as he nodded his head. His doctor self took over his pirate self. "It's my job as a doctor. No need to thanks me."

"I owe you one." Dragon spoke, making Law look at him. "Don't hesitate to tell me if you want any favors from me. Also, that battleship," Dragon pointed to the approaching marine ship, "Is ours."

Law didn't expect this. When he had decided to save Straw hat and his brothers, he hadn't expected any treatment from anyone. He just did it, coz he wanted to. He wanted the D brothers to live, only coz he is a D. He felt a pull towards them and he left Sabaody to rescue them. He had never thought that he will get any favors from the Revolutionary Army.

"What do you know about the Will of D?" Law asked the most sensible question, he ever had since Corazon told him that the people with D are the enemies of the God.

Dragon gave a small smile. "All you could ask was this?"

"Just answer me and we are even!" Law gritted his teeth. All those years he had wished to know about the letter D, and know he was about to get it.

"Very well." Dragon replied. "But I'm not the exact person, who has the answer." Law averted his eyes from Dragon, his hope was all gone. Wasn't the Revolutionary Army supposed to know answers of each and everything? Weren't they feared for that? Why don't they know the answer to his only question?!!

"Then who shall I ask?" Law asked with annoyance. He doesn't care anymore if this is the Most Wanted Man in the World. He just feels pissed off.

"Find for a man who looks and acts like a kid, whose smile can melt even a cold heart. Whose eyes seem to look into your soul. Whose presence makes you forget the worries of the world." Dragon looked at Law directly in his eyes. "And you will have your answer." 

. 

"How is Luffy doing?" Hancock jumped onto the deck of the submarine, which they have been following ever since the war ended.

"You did well to figure out we were surfacing here. We thought the marines were here, so we freaked out for a moment." Bepo said politely.

The fact that they were continuosly freaking out due to one after another surprise was truly scary. 

First, the sea kings surrounding the whole submarine, underwater and above water, which were now underwater but still guarding the submarine. 

Second, the presence of the World's Most Wanted Criminal, The Revolutionary Dragon, who was sitting in the infirmary and watching his kids. 

Third, the marine battleship which appeared to be approaching them. Yep, they could have led to heart attacks. Even some of the Heart Pirates have fainted due to all of this.

"Salome was following you on the sea floor." Hancock said pointing to the sea king, which was always by her side. "And don't change the subject, you beast!"

"Sorry..." Bepo apologized in a low voice and gave a bow.

"I've done all I can. the effectiveness of the operation is tied to his condition. He's taken impossible amount of damage. I can't guarantee he'll survive." Law said in his annoyed voice.

"Of course! Hihaa!" Ivankov said from the battleship and jumped on the submarine, making it sway in the water. "Vhey'll live." Ivankov said and went inside to check on his nephews, followed by Hack and Koala.

Hancock bit her lips. "How tragic. If I could, I'd suffer in his place."

'It must be nice having the Pirate Empress think of you that way.' Sachi and Penguin thought.

"You beast," Hancock said to Bepo. "Do you have a denden mushi?" She and Dragon had discussed of taking her beloved and his brothers to Amazon Lily for recovery. But when she had asked for the denden mushi to make a call to Kuja Pirates, she was denied. But she didn't turn him into stone for that, coz he offended her. 'After all, he is my father in law!' Hancock thought, blushing a bit.

"If we call the Kuja pirate ship, we can pull this submarine across the calm belt." But unknown to Hancock, the sea kings will always be there for their young king. Meaning, the submarine or the Kuja Pirate ship, will be surrounded by sea kings. Whether she likes it or not.

"If the government learns Luffy and Ace are alive after this," Hancock said with a newspaper in her hands. "They will definitely come after them. We'll hide them on the Isle of Women and if I'm still one of the warlord, they can safely recover there." 

. 

On the other side in the Marine Headquarters, which have been raised to the ground, Sengoku sits on a pile of rubble, all alone, enjoying the victory from the war. After the war, the first thing which he did was think and search about the powers that kid, Monkey D. Luffy, show cased. He was about to contact the Five Elders when a newscoo came and gave him the happiest news he ever had.

Monkey D. Luffy, and Gol D. Ace are dead. All he felt was joy. Two future threats were removed from the history. Even if he didn't get what Money D. Luffy was, he won't bother with the dead anymore.

"Monkey D. Luffy and Gol D. Ace dies. Marines emerge victorious!"

He had read the article several times but still couldn't believe that they were dead. There was a picture of three brothers. Fire Fist kneeling on the ground, with his gauged chest, Straw Hat lying lifeless in front of him, with a deeper gauged chest and The Chief Of Staff's watery eyes and him in a crouch position, probably to collect his brothers dead bodies.

He does feel pity for his best friend, who was inconsolable after he heard the news. He had destroyed what was left of Marineford, before being knock out by himself due to grief of losing two of his grandsons in a day.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!! So here's where you are!! We've been able to confirm the situation at Impel Down." Sengoku looked up from the newspaper to see a marine saluting at him. He nodded to say him at ease.

"Is Magellan all right?" Sengoku asked.

"He was badly injured, and just barely alive. He's being treated in ICU. He's very straight forward man, he's already taken responsibility for everything. If he could move, he might try to commit suicide." The marine said. The fact that Magellan was bleeding and his skull was crushed badly, making him on the door steps of death, was left unsaid.

"Don't let him do anything that stupid. Just what happened inside the prison?" Sengoku asked as he rubbed his temple.

"Judging by the aftermath, Level 6 was where the most tragic incident happened. Blackbeard chose his crew from the worst prisoners in the world. He brought 4 prisoners out with him. But there are many more prisoners from Level 6 missing." That was a side effect of Sengoku being happy since yesterday.

"Confirm the number and name of escapees and send out wanted posters immediately! Even a single Level 6 class prisoner could be a huge danger to a country out there." Sengoku said with an annoyed voice. He seriously doesn't want to deal with this right now.

The officer stopped in his path, contemplating how should he say the rest.

"Whats wrong?" Sengoku asked seeing the uneasiness.

"The govt has ordered that the Level 6 incident be covered up. Any further failures could cause faith in the government to fail."

"...??!!! Are you kidding me?!!"Sengoku screeched. Seriously, he is thinking of retiring now. All the bullshit of the government and their propaganda. Akoji can take the position instead of him. He will make sure to submit his retiring letter and the recommendation letter for the next Fleet Admiral to the Five Elders. 

. 

Sabo was sitting in the same place he had been when he first came into the submarine. He had woken up hours ago, watching his brothers breathe. That was the only thing keeping him sane right now. Law would come once in two hours to check up on his patients. Ace was recovering fast according to Law. While Luffy was not showing any movements or improvements. Law had been asking him questions since he had done his operation on Luffy. About his hear beat. About his blood, which seemingly was rushing like water in his veins. 

Dragon had glared at the man, shutting him up for once and all. When they were left to isolation, Dad explained his plan of getting Luffy out of the submarine and into his mother's arms. The ocean water in which the submarine was getting feisty and impatient, despite it being the Calm Belt. The sea kings were roaring most of the times, seemingly displeased by the lack of word from their little King. 

With a last look on his brothers's face, he nodded at his Dad. They left the little infirmary in care of Hack to watch over, with Koala with them. Law was sitting on one of his coach reading about human anatomy, when they approached him. 

. 

Law was reading books about human anatomy all 'cause he feels like he has missed something. May be that is why Strawhat-ya's heart beat sounded funny and his flow of blood in his veins seemed abnormal. But Law knew that was not possible. He had treated thousands of men and women and children alike. He had done surgery of hundreds in his short life yet he never felt the way Strawhat-ya does. He is a mystery for him and he wants to solve it. Even if it's not his place. 

"We are taking Luffy," Dragon's voice came ahead of him, snapping him out of his puzzle. What? Did he hear correct? Straw hat needs treatment and needs medicinal assistance till the time he gets up. 

"You can't take him away!" Law got up from the couch. His book forgotten in it. He got a glare from the Second in Command, Sabo and Dragon seemed to understand what he was implying. 

"We have a doctor." He pointed towards the orange haired girl standing beside him. "Koala can take care of Luffy just fine. You think about Ace." 

He looked at Koala, who was giving him a tight grin. Her body language betrayed every look of her being a doctor. Law couldn't hand a teenager whose life is hanging on a thin thread to a fake-doctor. 

"What is the type of coma Straw hat-ya is in?" He asked through gritted teeth towards Koala, who gave him a glare instead of an answer. It shuts him up. Getting glares from three highest ranking Revolutionaries was never on his list when he decided to pick Strawhat. If he lets Strawhat go now, he will probably die. Not that he cares, but his well formulated plan will crush to pieces. Fuck! He will have to do with some one else. 

"Fine. Go get him. But don't blame me when he's dead." Law said as he took into his coach again, not sparing a glance at the people in front of him. He peeks through his books and sees Dragon come out of the infirmary with Mugiwara-ya in his arms. He is not connected with any machines and he can see the rising chest falling up and down rapidly. It worries him and something inside him wants to protest at the childish behavior of the Most Wanted Man, but a glare from The Second in Command keeps his mouth shut. 

. 

Dragon with Luffy in his arms and Sabo behind him, rushes out of the submarine. The coast was clear, but they need to get away from there as much as they could. And luckily, they found a little cove nearby. Dragon dashes to that side. 

Dragon gently places Luffy in the ocean, in his mother's safe arms. Two gentle, transparent arms weave out of the ocean and carries Luffy at the surface. It swipes over Luffy's wounds softly as if Luffy is the most fragile thing in the World and opens up the bandages. Luffy's wounds disappears with each swipe of the cradling arms before he is taken in. Deep. Deep in the ocean's depth. 

The sea is still now. The sea kings are no where to be felt. But Dragon can feel their presence guarding and shielding his son, who is laying at the sea bed. Dragon can feel Sabo biting his lips as he can't see Luffy anymore. But Dragon knows it is the safest place where Luffy can ever be. The protectiveness of the Sea flares as the water doesn't allow anyone to enter. 

Dragon doesn't know how, but he feels that The Sea is guilty. Guilty for not being able to protect her child in Marineford. If Dragon were to say something, then he knows she won't be returning Luffy soon. 

. 

Ace wakes up the next day and demands to see Luffy. Law tries to hold the firecracker in the infirmary but gives up at the end. He really regrets now taking into the D brothers in his ship. 

Law hasn't seen any ship docked on Amazon Lily except for his submarine. So, where did Dragon and Koala take Strawhat? He had tried asking for further developments on the teen only to be snapped at. 

Koala, the fake-doctor, always stays at his submarine, so how was she treating Strawhat. Something sounds fishy but he doesn't say. But a tiny part of him wonders if Straw hat is still alive. Not that he cares at all. He wouldn't admit it's freaking him out. Not at all. 

Sabo tried to talk some sense into Ace, but his silent tears before Ace betrayed him. Ace wasn't liking the reactions he was getting so he requested and even begged Sabo to take him to Luffy. He didn't like how Sabo bit his lips and tried to look away. Sabo eying Hack and trying to convey something which Ace didn't understand at all, was unnerving. 

"Hack is the only one who has been able to see Luffy today morning since the last day." Sabo says in a low voice. Ace felt his body freezing. If what Sabo was implying that means Luffy is with his mother, which means he is healed probably. If Luffy's with his mother still that means... 

Ace chokes on his sob. "D-Don't tell me..." 

"We don't know Ace. We don't know." Sabo cried freely into his chest while Ace held Sabo with his good arm. "Dad's sitting on the shore ever since Luffy went."

Ace attempted to get up, but lost his balance but Sabo was quick to be his side. They walk outside the submarine ignoring the protests of the Heart Pirates and its captain. 

Ace is fine and doesn't need anything, anymore. All he needs is his baby brother and family back at his side. He had gone for three days already, but the missed meals doesn't hurt as much as the missing sunshine of his baby brother. 

Koala and Hack kept an eye on the Heart Pirates while Ace and Sabo made their way to the shore, sitting beside Dragon quietly. Their each eyes on the sea, which looked too calm even for Calm Belt. 

"What happened in Impel Down?" Dragon breaks the silence looking at Sabo. "The things Iva told me, even if half, were it true?" 

Ace looks between Dad and Sabo and feels like he is not told something. Ace looks at Sabo expectantly, while Sabo bites his lips and nods. 

"Luffy and I got hit by Magellan's poison." Dread creeps up to Ace's body. "Iva-chan injected him and me with his hormones, leading us to loose some part of our lifespans."
