Hedi was born in the Pearl Kingdom, which is located in Paradise on the Grand Line. The girl is the heir to the throne and lives in the castle on a hill (the castle in appearance and the area around it resembles Schwerin Castle). This kingdom is notable for the fact that there is a reverse gender position in which it's women who take the leading role, and men don't have the right to rule. So usually the male representatives are busy with the household chores and the upbringing of children, while their wives work hard to support the family. In general, not everyone is happy with this state of affairs, but no one has yet dared to resist the royal family. The kingdom has problems with this, however, the government leadership is carefully hiding this fact from the public outside the island in order to pretend that all the inhabitants of this country are actually happy and content with their lives.

Hedi is the second child of the royal family and has an older brother, Shtefan. Since boys cannot rule, it's for this reason that Gothel, the queen and mother of these children in combination, decided to devote more time to her daughter. The woman herself had problems during her first pregnancy and doctors warned her that repeated childbirth could weaken her body, but she decided not to listen to the doctors' opinion, since it was important for her to give birth to the heiress to the throne. As a result, Gothel really weakened after repeated childbirth, so in the first years of Hedi's life, the queen didn't leave her chambers so often and the girl was brought up more by her father August, nannies and teachers. Although the woman was against it that her husband took part in the upbringing, but he was still persistently close to his daughter and sometimes asked not to report to his wife that he was going against her decree. For Gothel, all her strength went more into foreign policy, but she trusted her servants and teachers to teach Hedi.

Augustus himself was a prince from a neighboring kingdom, and the marriage was political. The man was not particularly happy with the marriage, but he had to agree with the opinion of his parents. The future king didn't particularly support the policy of this state, but he was not allowed to rule and he could only have a low position in the palace, which somewhat oppressed him. Augustus wanted to be a good king, but he was well aware that he wouldn't be allowed to rule the state in full. However, he found joy and comfort in his children. He adored Shtefan and Hedi, who weren't close to each other. Their age difference was only a year, but in general, these two had nothing in common, as Shtefan believed. The boy was offended by his sister, because from his childhood he noticed his interest in government and politics, but he wasn't allowed to take more serious studies, assuring him that it was not for him to rule on this island, but Hedi will. For this reason, the older child disliked his sister and didn't want to communicate with her despite her desire. Hedi herself experienced learning difficulties. So many things fell on her from the first years of her life that she just didn't have time to study well and remember everything. The little girl was very tired and the only consolation for her was playing with her father. The princess loved August very much, as he gave her freedom and the right to choose, and thanks to him she met Arthur, who was the son of a sailor and was a servant in the castle. He also is a couple of years older than his friend. Hedi didn't spend much time with the king, but for her these moments gave her strength for 9 years.

During all this time, Gothel didn't pay much attention to her daughter, as she hoped for her entourage and educators that they would make a good ruler out of the princess. The woman devoted more time to politics and rested, as the childbirth weakened her body to such a point that the queen often had to sit or lie down due to weakness. However, she sometimes walked through her estates and once overheard a conversation between her daughter and August.

The king and young Hedi were chilling in the garden, sitting on the grass. They discussed the hard day of the girl who complained to her father and asked him that is it really will always be like this? Because every day she was forced to study and train a lot when tshe would like to have more freedom. Shtefan watched them from afar and read a book, he wasn't particularly interested in what they were talking about, although he himself nevertheless listened to their conversation. August then told his daughter that if she didn’t want to be a princess, then she could be someone else, and he asked what she was interested in. This question made Hedi think, but she couldn't give an answer, since she knows nothing but how to be a princess, but at the same time she told her father that she wanted to find what she would like herself. However, the young lady felt sad, realizing that it was her duty to be here and to rule the kingdom, but she really didn’t want this, and if there was an opportunity, she would give up the throne. These words surprised Shtefan, who was always sure of the opposite, that Hedi would like to be queen. However, at that moment, the boy realized that he was very mistaken in his sister and disliked her, in fact, just like that. The prince distracted himself from his book and listened more to the conversation between his sister and his father. August at that moment decided to support his daughter, although he wasn't sure that she would still be given the right to renounce the throne in favor of her brother, but he wished only the best for her and wanted Hedi to choose her own destiny and live the way she wants. Therefore, he very happily and with a smile on his face told her that let Hedi do what she wants, she's a free person. These words amazed and encouraged her. She will rise from the ground and proudly say that from that moment on she abdicates and becomes a free person. Shtefan, watching his sister, was surprised by her determination and was even proud of her. He was more happy for her, not because she was ready to vacate the throne, but because his sister decided to go on her own path, despite the current circumstances.

If we talk about Gothel herself, then the woman hates men. The thing is that her mother Odelia at one time married Owen, Grace's future father, and the marriage was also political. There was no love between them and the man himself was not happy that he had to stay in this particular kingdom, since in fact he becomes almost powerless. However, Odelia didn't really want to rule, since she believed that she didn't have the ability for this serious business. She admitted that she wasn't very good as a queen, so she allowed her husband to be unofficially a full-fledged king. So all the decisions that the woman made were the ideas of her husband, so the affairs of the kingdom went uphill and everyone was happy with everything (except for the Queen's advisers, who were against such a relationship). Since there was no love between this royal couple, Odelia didn't mind if Owen found a lover. And she turned out to be the queen's servant - Margaret. These two also had a son, Indulf, who was 7 years younger than Gothel. The future queen herself wasn't warned about such a relationship with her parents, so the girl perceived her father's actions as a betrayal. Moreover, she was still young in order to fully understand the situation, so that in this way Gothel began to develop hatred of men from early childhood and gradually began to take root in her idea of the world.

At some point, Odelia becomes seriously ill and dies, so Gothel, who was about 17 years old, should have taken the throne. By that time, Owen realized that he had no place in this kingdom, since he was already limited in his actions, and without the help of his wife, he couldn't be a full-fledged king. Therefore, at some point he leaves the kingdom, taking Margaret and their common son with him, becoming a pirate. He didn't have friendly relations with Gothel, but he was sure that the girl would cope with her duties and she didn't need him. However, this action offended the young queen even more and she was finally convinced that men are absolutely useless, selfish and unpleasant creatures that have no place in this world. The girl also hated Owen and disowned him, forbidding him and his new family to approach this island.

This is how Gothel's career began as a queen, whose actions mostly led to problems within the state.

Some time after this conversation, the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates sailed past the island. They didn't come close to the island, so as not to arouse suspicion and so that they would not be seen. However, a large bird was approaching the kingdom, with a girl on its back. It was Grace and Marco helped her get to the island and tried not to attract much attention. By this point, the woman knew about the story of her father, who was once a king. The reason she came here was because she would like to see her relatives in the form of Shtefan and Hedi. They quietly landed near the girl's chambers and thought about how to get to know her so as not to scare her. From her conversation with Marco, Hedi woke up and Grace was frightened, trying to think of what to say. However, the princess wasn't afraid of her, since the first thing she saw was the funny bird's face of her aunt's companion. Marco thought that if a small child sees a man near his chambers, he will definitely get scared, and so he will look like a funny familiar or something like that. And it really worked, Hedi was not scared and accepted Grace as a sorceress with a cute pet, so the woman could breathe a sigh of relief. She introduced herself and sat down to her niece's bed, deciding to talk to her a little. Grace asked how she was doing, and then in the course of the conversation admitted that she was her aunt, she had a common father with her mother. This very much struck the girl and she was glad of this news, but at that moment August came in, who wanted to check why Hedi was not sleeping. At that moment, he saw Grace and Marco, who themselves were speechless from surprise. The woman hastened to immediately explain that she is a relative and doesn't want to do anything bad with him and his daughter, she just came to visit them. August didn't particularly trust the girl, but agreed to listen to her.

After some time, the king realized that Grace wasn't lying, as he himself heard from the servants a story about his wife's past, so he believed her. He himself noted that Grace is somewhat reminiscent of Hedi and they are a little alike, so August confided in this relative. Grace was a little upset that she was not able to see Stefan, since they had little time for meetings, so soon the girl, along with Marco, had to leave the chambers and go to the ship. Hedi said goodbye to her and looked dreamily out of the window as her new friends flew away. And at that moment she share with her father the idea that she wants to be a pirate, since they are always free and really do what they want. August himself was not against this idea of his daughter, but he thought it was better than being here.

Some time after such an event, the king falls ill and the doctors could only shrug their shoulders, declaring that he didn't have much time left. At that time, Hedi and Shtefan had already managed to make friends a little, and therefore they spent their time together near their father's bed. The little girl couldn't hold back her tears, although she was scolded for it, they say, the girls don't cry, but she couldn't hold them back. The prince held back his tears, although he also wanted to express his concern about the king's illness. August comforted his children, declaring that everything is fine with him, he will recover. However, the man himself no longer believed in this, perfectly understanding why he had become so suddenly ill. He wanted to support his children and do everything possible so that they don't worry. Therefore, the day before his death, August gave his bracelet with pearl to Hedi, and after that he will say his last words that she's free and let her decide who she is and what to do in this life. The little girl will hug him by the hand and promise that she will definitely fulfill her dream.

At the funeral, Hedi again cannot hold back her tears, for which Gothel will scold her, calling her tears a sign of weakness. But this didn't calm the princess in any way, although she tried to stop crying. The little girl herself wondered how Gothel could be so calm, because she showed no emotion that she was upset by the death of her husband. After August's death, the queen decided to take Hedi's upbringing into her own hands and she will try to rectify the situation by changing the mind of her daughter. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't do it.

Hedi, while her father was still alive, somehow accidentally found in the library the so-called "forbidden books", which described subjects that were unacceptable according to the ideology of the kingdom. They told about beautiful princes who saved princesses and were protectors for girls and their homeland. Hedi liked these stories so much that she even asked the librarian for a couple of such books. The librarian was very frightened by such a request from the princess, because she herself kept these books in secret, since although she liked them, they were prohibited. Therefore, the woman was very afraid that the princess had found them, but Hedi reassured her, saying that she wouldn't tell anyone. Then the librarian decided to confide in the princess and she lent a couple of books to her, and the princess, in turn, hid them and did everything possible so that they were not found. Also, since Hedi received a more serious education, as she is the future queen, she had more access to textbooks. It was difficult for her to study, but her brother Shtefan was very easy, but he was not allowed to learn what was to be his sister. For this reason, Hedi asked the teachers to lend her some books and textbooks, justifying this by the fact that she just would like to see and prepare everything in advance. However, as soon as she received these textbooks, the princess immediately took them to her brother so that he could learn from them.

After the death of August, Gothel fully assumed the responsibility to re-educate Hedi, and therefore she soon found the very "forbidden books" in her daughter's room. Despite her daughter's protest, the queen piled up all these books and even the princess's children drawings, and then burned this pile in front of her. Hedi asked very much her mother not to do this, because all these things were very dear to her and they really were a real treasure for her. However, the girl had no choice but to watch all her dreams and fantasies burn out. At the same time, the princess didn't give out the librarian who gave her these books. Although the queen already knew everything, she wanted to personally hear from her daughter who did it (and unfortunately this woman will have a sad fate, but she will be grateful to Hedi that she kept her word and didn't betray her ). Hedi, meanwhile, again couldn't hold back her tears, until Gothel watched the fire with a cold expression on her face. She also scolded her again, stating that she looked pathetic, because crying is a weakness. And after her words, the queen also mentioned her late husband, that if it were not for this idiot, then Hedi would not be engaged in such nonsense now and would finally be engaged in really useful things. At this moment, the princess will not restrain herself, because during all this time the girl was holding back many emotions, including resentment. After the death of her father, she often spent time with her mother, who trained her to wield a sword and during training she often called her daughter useless, forcing her to become better and stronger in this way, but these words brought more pain to the girl. Therefore, a lot of negativity accumulated in Hedi's soul and she, turning to Gothel, loudly declared to her that she hated her and everything she did. She also said that if her father were here, he would not allow it, because he is not such a monster as she is. These words stunned not only the queen, but also the rest of the entourage in the form of guards, servants and Shtefan, who was already afraid for his sister, because in this country no one had the right to raise his voice to the ruler. However, at that moment, the princess didn't care, her resentment and anger raged in her. According to the law of the kingdom, the Hedi should have been almost severely punished, if not even executed, but since she was still the daughter of Gothel and the only heiress, the woman decided to punish her differently. From that moment on, the young princess was to be imprisoned in a high tower, in which she would spend 8 years, having no connection with the outside world.

After the fight with his mother, Shtefan dropped in to see his sister, who was now languishing in the tower. He expressed concern about her current situation, but Hedi reassured him, saying that she didn't regret anything and, in general, she would find a way to get out of here. The girl will tell her brother that she really wants to leave here and hopes that someday she will do it.

Brother and sister, after they became friends, always came up with various options for how they could fulfill their dreams. However, after everything that happened, Hedi no longer wanted to stay in this country and she wanted to leave this place, so Shtefan was already ready to figure out how to do it.

Some time passes and the prince knows from Arthur that his mother returned by ship from another island, bringing on board one strange fruit. Shtefan immediately became interested in it and the two of them secretly made their way onto the ship. The prince assumed it was a Devil Fruit that could be good for his sister. These two were able to steal this fruit and smuggle it into the castle. Shtefan managed to look at his sister and give her this one so that she would eat it. The guy is knowledgeable about fruits, as there was a book in their library that described a variety of fruits. He remembered some of them and therefore he thought that the Hea Hea no Mi would be ideal for a princess, because in this case, so many opportunities would be open to her. After she had the ability, Shtefan asked to hide them from everyone, since now she is a user of the Devil Fruit, to which the girl agreed. From that moment on, she could lengthen her hair, through which Arthur could now climb up to her, in order to then climb on a tree branch and communicate with her friend through the window.

Several years pass, during which little has changed. Hedi studied a lot, although her mother's studies and influence could not change the girl's decision to leave this kingdom and leave everything to her brother. Mrs Bell was actively involved in her upbringing. She was the governess at the castle and very closely followed the development of Hedi. She taught her manners, violin and other things. Thanks to her, Hedi wasn't particularly bored when she lived in a high tower, but at the same time she was afraid of this woman, who also had a Devil Fruit power (she could turn into a crow and for this reason the princess a little afraid of such birds). She rarely praised her, but at the same time, Grimm was taught many things. Shtefan also managed to come up with a plan to overthrow the queen. The young man was ready to stage a coup on the day of his sister's coronation, and he also managed to find followers and inspire them to take such a risky step. At the same time, Hedi and Arthur became very close to each other and tender feelings appeared between them. They wanted to leave the kingdom and start living together, so when the riot began, Shtefan helped the lovers escape. Arthur was able to prepare a small fishing boat on which they would escape. The prince hugged his sister goodbye, and then he went to help his comrades. As a result, Hedi sailed with Arthur, watching from the boat how changes are taking place in her country.

 

𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗦 𝗧𝗢𝗪𝗡

After a month of sailing, Hedi couldn't find any information in the newspapers about what eventually became of her homeland. The girl was very worried about her brother, but she had no choice but to believe that Shtefan managed to do what he planned. Arthur also reassured her, assuring her that everything was fine. After this conversation, they stopped at Shells Town, where they would like to restock their provisions and set sail again on the same day. However, when they arrived at the pier after shopping, they noticed that the marines wanted to take their ship, which greatly angered Arthur. He tried to stop them, and Morgan arrived at that moment. He was famous for his cruelty, so when he saw how Arthur tried to interfere with his plans, he shot the young man in front of Hedi without much regret. This event shocked the girl, because there was no reason to treat him so cruelly. As a result, the boat was taken from the couple, and Hedi had no choice but to sob over the dead body of her man. The mother's words were also spinning in the girl's head, which she suddenly remembered at that moment. Her mother once told her that one should not rely on others, especially on men. They are weak and selfish, they don't feel sorry for anyone, because they don't think about their loved ones. At this moment, Hedi mentally agreed with the words of her mother, because it was she who was supposed to protect Arthur, but not he her. If she had shown resolve and stood up for him and their boat herself, then nothing would have happened. At that moment, she decided that she could no longer rely on others and she finally needed to take everything into her own hands and do everything on her own, she no longer wants to lose people dear to her. This scene was watched from afar by Zoro, who could no longer help her, since he arrived late, although he wanted to intervene. However, the rest of the residents helped Hedi bury Arthur. The girl took the dagger of her boyfriend (she will then give this weapon to her future son).

After this event, Hedi was completely lost and she spent the rest of the night on the street. The girl didn't know where to go and what to do, and she was haunted by the thought that she had lost the one she loved and could not save. However, she was found by Ririka, who worked at a local bar. The woman offered the girl help, brought her to her home and delicately asked what had happened to her. At that time, Hedi decided not to tell her anything, as she didn't want to share her problems with her. Grimm also got a job in the same bar as Ririka in order to earn a little and get away from her grief. However, the memories of that day haunted her and at some point the girl couldn't restrain herself and told everything to her new acquaintance, since she could no longer keep it all to herself. Then Hedi shared her feelings and Ririka motherly calmed her friend. The woman assured Grimm that it was not her fault, it was not she who killed her young man. She tried to convince the girl of this, saying that she should not reproach herself for Arthur's death, she needs to accept his death and find the strength to live on, she has her whole life ahead and she should meet many more amazing people, she shouldn't despair. Ririka also gently pat Hedi, hugged her to herself, and these actions really calmed the princess. She felt the care that her father gave her, and these sensations made the girl relax in the arms of her new friend. After this conversation, Grimm thought about this situation for some time and finally came to terms with what had happened. Yes, she was not guilty of Arthur's death, but guilt haunted her. She still felt this responsibility for what had happened, so she promised for herself that if she became attached to someone else, then she wouldn't allow this person to die. This thought led to the fact that Hedi became an even more caring and attentive person, sometimes even too much. Her excessive care will eventually disappear only after the final acceptance of Arthur's death (this will be after the events in Alabasta). For the same reason, she decided to cope with all her problems on her own.

After some time, when the princess had already worked as a waitress in a cafe for some time, Helmeppo came to them with his wolf. When he was preparing to attack Rika, Hedi decided to protect her, but Zoro did it first. She was amazed at his further decision to let Morgan's son capture him in place of the little girl. Unexpectedly for herself, Hedi felt that Roronoa could be trusted and that he was not such a terrible man at all. He has a code of honor and is capable of protecting both himself and others. So to some extent, the girl wanted to help him too. After everything that happened, the princess became friends with Rika and together they wanted to help Zoro.

After a while, Luffy arrives on the island, who later also impresses the girl. She, along with him and Rika, will help free Roronoa. And when Luffy can defeat Morgan, Hedi will feel a sense of respect for him and his ally in the form of a swordsman. The girl at that moment realized that she wanted to go with them.

When they were all sitting together in a cafe, Hedi asked Luffy to let her join his small crew. She demonstrated her abilities, to which Zoro called her "as strange as his captain", and she herself tried to give worthy arguments so that he would take her with him. However, the future Pirate King didn't even listen to her, he immediately agreed. This simplicity surprised Hedi a little, but she just smiled and got the idea to start their adventures as soon as possible.

Later all three of them left the island (Hedi was able to get her boat back), and Hedi's adventures with the Straw Hats began.

 

𝗥𝗘𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗗𝗢𝗠

After adventures in Alabasta, Hedi was abducted at night while sailing on the ship. Her disappearance was silent thanks to the skill of the warriors from her country. Hedi was always afraid that she might be returned back to the kingdom, so she periodically felt tension and it sometimes seemed to her that she was being followed when the girl was traveling with her friends. She was also alarmed by a meeting with Florrete in Loguetown, who was offended by her that she had renounced the throne, because once upon a time her mother sacrificed her life for the sake of a very young princess. The girl believed that her mother's death was not in vain, but when she found out that the princess had escaped from the island for adventure and gave up the throne, she was greatly offended and she felt injustice. For this reason, their first meeting after such events led to a fight. And in general, Grimm was not in vain worried. Warriors from her kingdom quietly sailed to the Going Merry in a small boat, very quietly and carefully made their way into the girls' cabin and took Hedi, sedating her so that she wouldn't wake up during the abduction. They also quietly made their way onto their boat, only accidentally hitting something in the dark, making a noise, and went to their ship.

Her absence that night was noticed by Nami, who was awakened by a small noise on the ship. At that moment it seemed strange to her that she had woken up from a dream at all, but for some reason the navigator felt that something was wrong. She noticed that her friend was not around, but initially she didn't attached importance. The girl went out for a walk on the deck and noticed a ship nearby, which was sailing away from them. Nami was worried, although she noted that the ship was just sailing past them, but after that she would regret not informing the others about it.

In the morning, everyone else noticed that their friend wasn't around anywhere. None of the comrades saw the girl, and Luffy panicked that Hedi had left the crew. However, Zoro objected, because how can she do this without leaving a trace, so even considering the fact that they are all now at sea and there are no islands nearby. At that moment, Nami remembered that at night she woke up and her friend was not around, and when she went on deck, she noticed a ship that sailed past them. At that moment, the crew was horrified and thought that Hedi had been kidnapped. Robin asked the navigator to clarify whether she could see the ship, whether it was pirate's ship. To which Nami replied that it was unlikely that it belonged to pirates, and she herself noticed that there was some kind of sign and a name on the stern, similar to the word "Pearl". At that moment, Robin said that most likely she was taken by people from her own country, because, as Hedi told them, she was from the Pearl Kingdom. At that moment, Sanji wondered what and why they needed to abduct her, to which their new nakama from Alabasta would ironically answer that if only she was a princess, of course. At that moment, the crew pondered over her words, while the cook gleefully admired that Hedi might turn out to be a girl from the nobility. Luffy immediately asks Nami to go to this kingdom, to which the girl is indignant that she doesn't even know the way to it. However, Robin will offer her his help in the search.

After some time, Hedi will wake up in her bed, on which she once slept, being imprisoned in a tower. The girl will get up in horror when she realizes where she is. The princess will not immediately believe what happened, she was so afraid of it. Soon a servant will drop in to her, whom the princess will ask how she got here and what happened to the kingdom. The young man will tell her that she was returned back to take the throne. At the same time, he will add in a whisper that the riot suppressed, her brother Shtefan was sent to prison, but he managed to escape, like some others. Therefore, now he's unknown where he is, and she will soon take the place of her mother. These words will upset the girl, because she believed in the strength of her brother, but nothing came of it, although he is unlikely to accept this state of affairs. After this conversation, her servant will leave her room, and Hedi will put herself in order, realizing that it looks like she will not run away from her fate.

On the same day, she would silently dine with her mother, and it was difficult for her to eat. Hedi thought about her friends and that her adventure was really over. As if she knew what the girl was thinking, Gothel decided to bring the topic up, stating what she had hoped for when she contacted the pirates. Her daughter didn't answer, but the queen continued, trying to assure the princess that her place was here and she should accept her fate just like her brother. Gothel will also declare that her so-called "nakama" will never return for her, they are pirates, and there is nothing good in their hearts. After that, the woman will get up from the table and come up to her daughter, putting her hands on her shoulders. She will try to somehow show her concern for Hedi, saying that she hopes that she will understand everything when she becomes older and becomes a queen, such is her destiny. After that, Gothel will leave, and Hedi will try to hold back her tears, internally assuring herself that her friends are not like that, she will see them again.

There were 5 days left before the coronation, and the Straw Hats never showed up. The problem was that getting to the kingdom was difficult for them, since Nami and Robin didn't know the exact route. At this time, Hedi again languished in the tower and with fear awaited her coronation, although she believed until the last that her friends would come for her, because she herself could no longer change anything.

The night before the coronation, they arrived on the island and docked near the local forest and Luffy was about to join the fight, but Nami stopped him, saying that they needed to come up with a plan so as not to get caught by the guards, because today even at night there is a lot of them on the street. However, the captain didn't want to listen, he was very excited and he was impatient to take Hedi back, so he didn't want to waste a minute at all. Luffy hurried forward, followed by the rest of the crew that were trying to stop him. At this moment, they run into some people who are holding a meeting in the forest. All of them were armed and when they saw the Straw Hats, they were ready to fight them, and at that moment Nami, Usopp and Chopper were ready to die of fear. Those warriors strictly inquired who they were and what they were doing here, because they were clearly not from around here. Luffy immediately told them who he was, who was he going to become and who he was going to take with him. All these people got worried and began to whisper, because those guys intend to save Hedi, just like them. At that moment, Shtefan approached them and asked how do they know this girl. Luffy immediately replied that she was his nakama and he should take her away. Then the man in the raincoat thought to himself that his sister had contacted the pirates, although he later admits that this is not so bad, since those same pirates came to save her. Shtefan at that moment will offer them his help and introduce himself, without mentioning that he is the brother of their nakama. He will declare that tomorrow there will be a coronation and they are going to turn the revolution again and since the Straw Hats are here, they can help him in this matter and also help free Hedi. Shtefan will also tell the pirates that not everything is so perfect in the kingdom and the queen doesn't notice the problems of society, so they again start a riot, which, he believes, will not be hidden from the world. In the end, Luffy agrees and stays with the rioters until dawn.

When morning came, Hedi changed her clothes in her chambers and sadly realized that now she would stay here forever. As soon as she thought about it, Hedi heard a crash on the other side of her island. The girl looked out the window, and her eyes widened in surprise. The princess heard the familiar voice of her captain. The girl was numb with joy and enthusiasm, because her nakama is here. Luffy, along with his comrades and rebels, began to storm the kingdom, engaging in battle with the guards and not touching the civilians. During this battle, Mugiwara ran forward to the castle, and Shtefan mentioned to the guy that the princess was presumably in the tower, since these were her chambers for the last 8 years. Luffy immediately took this into account and headed for the tower, trying to get to it as quickly as possible with the help of his Devil Fruit powers. He saw Hedi looking out of the window, which caused him to happily shout her name. The girl immediately smiled at him, and when he reached her chambers, the girl happily said that she was glad to see him. Luffy will answer that he is also happy about it, and then when he touches the bars that blocked access from the window, the boy immediately weakened and Hedi had to gently catch him with her hair, while not brushing against the bars itself. She will tell her captain that they are made of kairoseki, as her mother found out that she is a devil fruit user, so she did her best to prevent her from escaping. When Luffy got better, he decided to destroy the tower with his blow and catch Hedi, so the young man didn't hesitate. As soon as Mugiwara did this, he hugged his nakama, who pressed against him, hugging him by the neck. As they fell, the princess was unable to hold back her tears and, calling Luffy, told him that she loves him, which made Luffy laugh quite in his unusual manner.

As soon as they landed on the ground, Hedi got a little scared, saying that if her mother saw this, it would be very bad and she would be furious. To which Luffy says that this will not happen and he will not give her to her, so the boy will run to the castle to deal with Gothel. He knew about some details from Shtefan, who shared his knowledge with the guy even before starting the riot. Mugiwara didn't like what he found out, so he wanted to kick the queen's ass even more for everything that happened. Luffy headed to the castle and in the throne room saw Hedi's mother sitting on the throne. As soon as she saw the boy, she asked if he really made all this commotion. Mugiwara will not answer her anything, only say that he is taking Hedi with him and he will not allow her to stand in his way anymore. At these words, Gothel decides to stand up and fight with the future Pirate King.

During this battle, Gothel was victorious, although Luffy had no intention of surrendering to her. The woman was in poor health after giving birth, but she continued to fight and fend off the attacks of her opponent. Hedi intervened in their battle, who reached the throne room with a sword in her hand. She called out to them and asked her captain to let her talk to her mother. Luffy silently agreed and all this time kept aloof, watching the conversation of the relatives. As soon as Gothel wanted to tell her daughter again that she was doing nonsense, Hedi sharply asked not to interrupt her. This surprised the woman and she had to listen to the monologue of the princess, who poured out her soul to her mother. In the end, the girl didn't restrain herself in emotions, succumbing to anger and despair, and then she shouted to her mother that she was going to personally see how Luffy would become the Prate King and even Gothel wouldn't stop her from achieving her dreams. She also told her mother the following:

- I'm not a queen, much less a princess. I'm a pirate, who will see the whole world! Hear me, Mother!

As soon as the girl speaks out, then there will be silence. The woman will not say anything to her daughter, but will slowly reach the throne and sit on it, resting her head on her hand. She will silently think things over and will say that she a queen now and as a queen she can do anything what she wants. Thus, Gothel accepted her defeat and surrendered her power to Hedi without coronation, because she believed it was more of a formality. At this time, the servants, who were nearby and watched everything from the side, were dumbfounded by this decision of Gothel and condemned her idea, but she didn't listen to their indignation, closing her eyes. The woman also replied that they should leave her alone. At this moment, Hedi, amazed by the words of her mother, decides to go out onto the balcony and, having loudly begun her speech, will make a statement so that all the people will hear her. She will say that from this moment, as the new acting queen, she orders her soldiers to stop fighting, and she herself abdicates the throne, handing over power to her older brother Shtefan. At this moment, the Straw Hats knew that their comrade who organized the riot is the heir to the throne and the brother of their nakama. The pirates were stunned by this news, and Hedi herself after leaving the balcony and the war would end.

After some time, she will see Shtefan and hug him tightly. At this time, no one was at war, and the soldiers tried to make the city look more or less beautiful again. They have a lot of work to do, but now everyone has decided to rest and Luffy wants to have a feast in honor of reconciliation. In principle, no one was against it. However, at this time, Hedi was absent and she wanted to talk to her brother about everything, including about Arthur. The girl told him about his death and that she still considers herself guilty of this. To which Shtefan will answer her that there really is no fault of her, since her lover saved her by sacrificing himself, so has to let this guilt go and move on so that Arthur's sacrifice would not be in vain. He clearly wouldn't want his girlfriend feel guilty. Hedi thinks over the words of his brother for a second, but later says that her mother was right and that she is really weak, since she trusted the man and delegated her responsibilities to him, but Shtefan interrupted her. He will say that all people can be wrong, and their mother is no exception. Later, the young man will add that let Hedi see what Gothel's actions led to. Does she still think their mother was right after all? And at that moment, Hedi looked around and noticed Luffy, which was not at all like "weak and selfish men who are not capable of anything," and then looked at her comrades, who came to save her without hesitation, at her brother, who fought all the time. And in the end, the girl was crying with tears of happiness, feeling that she was finally free. At that moment, Luffy ran up to her, stating that it was enough for her to stand here alone. So he took her hand, putting his hat on her head, and with enthusiasm pulled his nakama to the others. At that moment, Hedi, continuing to cry, laughed loudly and agreed with the captain, continuing to think about everything that happened. At that moment, the princess decided that she would no longer grieve for Arthur. She will always remember him, because if not his victim in Shells Town, then they would have sailed from this island and Hedi would never have met Luffy, who freed her. So she would continue to run away and eventually come back and take the throne, but thanks to Arthur's sacrifice, her life changed dramatically. Hedi will thank him for everything he did for her, now she is free and happy.

After the feast, the Straw Hats spent some more time in the Hedi's kingdom. Each of them received something for themselves as a gift, and then they got together back on the road. Before leaving, Gothel came to the pier to say goodbye to her daughter. Hedi still felt uncomfortable around her, but would like to talk to her in an amicable way. And at some point, her mother gently and hesitantly hugged her, which never happened. Hedi began to sob and hugged Gothel tightly in response, forgetting all the bad things that bound them. She was just glad of such an action by her mother, who rarely showed any concern for her. For the girl, this day will be the happiest in her life and she will never forget when Gothel hugged her for the first time. After that, Mrs. Bell approached her, who smiled softly at her and said that she was proud of her, since she had grown up to be a wonderful woman. Hedi didn't believe her words, but she was glad to hear such sincere praise from her strict governess. After that, Hedi will sail away with the Straw Hats.

Gothel will stay on the pier for some time with Stefan, who immediately changed his face. As soon as the woman walked past him, her son declared that he knew that she was guilty of the death of his father. Then the former queen will ask that will he send her to prison for this now, but Shtefan will declare that he is not going to do the same to her as she did. The man will give her the opportunity to live in comfort and he will not say anything about it to Hedi, hoping that she will never know about it. Shtefan didn't want to involve his sister in these matters, as he saw how glad she was to make friends with her mother. At this moment, Gothel will only thank him, and she will leave, thinking that her son could become a good king.

Arriving at the Archipelago, Hedi spent most of her time with Nami and Robin, and then, as soon as Camie was kidnapped, she went to the Auction House. When Luffy arrived, who after hitting Charlos, the girl took part in the fight with the guards.

Later Robin introduces his captain to the other pirates - Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, Hedi immediately glanced at them. When she met the gaze of the Surgeon of Death, he also turned to her and smiled slightly at her. This strained the girl a little and she felt an unpleasant tingling sensation on her body, and she herself would consider him a little creepy. Hedi definitely wouldn't want to meet with Law again, because he didn't inspire any confidence in her. Despite this, the princess greeted him a little hesitantly, trying to maintain some semblance of calm. Law then even grinned, still staring at her.

After a fight at the Auction House, Hedi escapes with the others, but was moved to an unknown island thanks to the abilities of Bartholomew Kuma.

 

𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗔 𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗

the name of the island comes from the Japanese word 白髪, which means "white / gray hair"

Hedi wakes up in a house on a small island that was almost completely covered by someone's long white beard. She will know from the locals what happened and Hedi would like to leave the island as soon as possible and return to her crew. However, the inhabitants tell her that they don't have ships and sailors, so unfortunately they cannot help the girl in this. However, one pirate who lived on this island comes to them every six months. Once upon a time, that man was rescued by the inhabitants of the city from a shipwreck and helped to restore his ship, and also having healed him. He was so grateful to them for their kindness and care that he decided to come to them every six months and leave part of the loot to the inhabitants of the island, to which they agreed. Although Hedi was impressed by this story, the girl said that she didn't have time for this. Ultimately, the princess realized that she would not leave so soon.

As a result, Grimm decided to stay on the island for a while and explore it. She wondered why this place is completely covered with someone's hair. The owner of the house in which Mugiwara woke up told her that giant Makani lives here, whose beard had grown to an extraordinary length in one night. This was due to the fact that as soon as he arrived on this island with that pirate, he, having knew that there are amazing plants here that affect the beauty and strength of hair, immediately decided to use this knowledge. Makani was bald for a long time, so he wanted to regain his long hair. However, the man overdid it and it turned out that only his beard grew, which covered the entire island. This beard itself can no longer be cut off, as it is too thick and strong, so Makani remained to live on this tropical island on a hill, which opened up a beautiful view of the island and the ocean, especially since he was satisfied with a peaceful life here.

Hedi became interested in this story and also wanted to know more about the plants from this island that strengthen hair. The girl thought it would be nice to learn something while she spends time here.

As soon as she knows about Ace's death, Grimm cannot hold back her tears. She was worried about how Luffy felt when he couldn't save his brother. Hedi cried bitterly, wanting to be near her captain and help him. However, when she sees the message on Luffy's hand, the girl agrees with him and decides to stay on this island for two years.

Hedi knew a lot on this island. She gained a lot of knowledge about caring for her hair, so now her hair is quite strong and beautiful. The girl began to love long curls more, the more now she has something to be proud of. Grimm also began to train and use her devil fruit to the maximum. The princess came up with some new techniques and trained with Makani, with whom she managed to make friends. Thanks to these studies, Hedi discovered Busoshoku Haki, the principle of which was explained to her by the giant. This allowed the girl to become more confident in herself and her strength, because now she is capable of much.

It takes a little more than 1.5 years. Hedi loved living in this tropical island thanks to the warm climate and the friendly people she helped, but she was worried about how she would get to the Sabaody Archipelago. The problem is that that pirate could no longer deliver her there, and there are no ships here, so the girl hoped that maybe someone would come here.

Ultimately, after some time, the girl is informed that a pirate ship is located near the coast, and Hedi decided to ask who it was. As soon as the girl descended to the shore, she noticed the yellow submarine, and on the coast of the Heart Pirates, at the head of Trafalgar Law. Their submarine was completely covered in hair and apparently they weren't here of their own free will. The girl recognized Law, since she remembers him from their first meeting on Sabaody, so she was somewhat calmer, because she knows him. Hedi hurried to them and turned to Bepo, asking what had happened. The pirates drew attention to the girl, and Penguin with Shachi immediately recognized her and noted that she became even pretty. The navigator explained to the girl that at night they swam under water and suddenly a storm began, and the current changed and as a result they were carried away to the coast of this island. Due to the strong current and hair, their submarine has been damaged, so now they have to stay here for about a couple of weeks to repair their ship. Law himself didn't say anything, but only silently glanced over his shoulder at his nakama and Hedi, listening to their conversation. At this moment, Grimm invited them to stay for a while, especially since they soon planned to start the Fire Festival, which is held here every year, and the inhabitants of the island will help them to take care of their problem. Trafalgar grunted in displeasure, realizing that they were here for a long time. However, Hedi hastened to defuse the situation and said that they would have fun, let them see it as an opportunity to relax. The Heart Pirates liked these words, although Law himself didn't see anything good in it, but Hedi decided to try to make their stay on the island interesting.

While their submarine remained wrapped in her hair, the pirates rested with Grimm on the island and repaired the ship. She showed them the sights, together they helped the residents prepare for the Festival of Fire and enjoyed an unplanned vacation. The guys liked Hedi because of the simplicity of her character and kindness, the girl easily found a common language with everyone. Except for Law. The man was not particularly sociable and if he preferred to explore the island only alone, however, the girl didn't forget about him either. She sometimes approached him and asked if he needed anything and how his mood was. Hedi was genuinely interested in him and started a conversation with him, absolutely not bothering him. She somehow felt the line to inappropriate which she could not cross, so the girl managed to communicate a little with the captain and not annoy him with her benevolent nature. Although later she could study the island with him, since during her long stay here she knows a lot about this place. Law didn't really care about her company, so glater they could be somewhere together and talk about something. So there was some kind of trust and understanding between these two, they started to get along well. In any case, Law began sometimes to start a conversation with her and he tensed less in her presence. He could even ask her about where she came from, what her abilities, and so on. So they really became quite good buddies this month by learning more about each other.

However, this idyll didn't last long. In the last week of their stay here, another pirate ship arrived. By this time, Law's submarine was almost completely hair-free and has been completely renovated, allowing the other crew to find out who it belonged to. It was already evening and almost all preparations were over and everyone was preparing for the festival. Hedi changed into a costume for this and really wanted to start having fun. Shachi and Penguin managed to make a couple of compliments to the girl who laughed happily. Law himself glanced at his new acquaintance, but his gaze was immediately attracted by someone else who was approaching the people from the shore. At that moment, the inhabitants were attacked by pirates, behind them were cylinders, in which, as it turned out, there was poisonous gas. The pirates arrived at the festival unexpectedly and asked not to resist, otherwise they will start using their weapons on them and no one will escape punishment. Law all this time calmly watched them and waited for what they wanted, although he himself was ready to join the battle. The captain of that crew said that they needed the beard of that giant, since there was a rumor that it was magical and capable of many miracles, after all, it was not for nothing that Makani's hair was grew back in one day. The inhabitants of the island hastened to object, assuring the criminals that there is nothing magical about his beard, but they were not believed and threatened not to say any nonsense. The rest didn't dare to say anything else, as they realized that those guys could not be persuaded. Hedi herself was ready to join the battle if they decide to attack them, which is what happened. The captain of the pirate crew was angry that the islanders didn't answer his questions, so in the end he decided to use his gas on them so that people would stop annoying him. At this moment, Hedi used her abilities so that the pirates could not spray the gas on people, but this substance still settled and spread. The people decided to flee, but they were detained by the other pirates and taken to the church, and Law, along with his crew, also fought these pirates. However, at some point, Trafalgar moved his nakama and Hedi away from the epicenter of events, which angered the girl. Law interrupted her, saying that they had better not inhale this gas, otherwise they would definitely lose. The Surgeon of Death moved his people to a small hill, hiding behind bushes and other plants. They all watched what was happening together. The pirates saw how those sailors took people to the church so that they would not interfere with them, and some went to the sleeping giant on the hill. Hedi suggested that the pirates really wanted to use the gas on them, killing all the people at once, to which Law agreed, but expressed doubt that they would do it right away. Perhaps they will keep them there for now, so he and his crew have the opportunity to buy time. Trafalgar proposed his plan, during which he announced that he would be able to neutralize some pirates from a distance, take their gas masks and give them to his nakama to deal with the rest. Law also asked how long Hedi's hair could be, to which the girl replied that she could make it a couple of meters longer. In this case, Shichibukai suggested that the girl also use her abilities to get a gas mask and fight the pirates, to which she nodded. Further, Law said that when they get protection, they will be able to deal with the crew very quickly, and the man himself already knew roughly what he would do later, so he wanted to entrust the rescue of the inhabitants to his crew and Grimm. With this plan, the girl agreed and she, along with Law, went to fight the pirates. They both got a couple of masks and wanted to return, as soon as the girl out of the corner of her eye noticed how her 9-year-old friend, whose name was Rey, tried to quietly run to the shore, while he himself held his breath. Hedi began to worry about how he got here, and in general, what he wants to do. For this reason, Hedi left Law, declaring to his indignation that she needed to leave and do something. Trafalgar will only look after her with displeasure, saying only:

— Freaking Mugiwara!

At some point, Hedi catches up with the boy and stops him, asking what he is doing, to which he will say that he wants to help and he must deal with these pirates. The girl objected to him, saying that he was still a child and had to come back, she and Law would take care of everything. But Rey didn't want to listen to her, and then Grimm decided to grab his hand and forcefully lead him back, but the boy struggled. At some point, he kicks Hedi in the leg, from which she automatically releases the boy and allows him to head towards the pirate ships. The princess, getting to her feet, will follow the boy further, scolding him for recklessness. As a result, she only catches him on the ship, which already had one pirate with a balloon. The man wanted to attack the intruder, but he was prevented by Hedi, who with the help of her hair hit that pirate on the deck, from which he lost consciousness. Rey went to the hold and found many gas cylinders, which he wanted to immediately destroy. He was prevented by Grimm, who would catch the boy and say that if he now destroys everything, they will just suffocate from this gas and Rey will definitely not help in any way. It will be just a stupid death. The boy will start kicking, declaring that he doesn't want to stand aside. At some point, he will start crying, saying that these pirates attacked his island earlier, and he was never able to help his parents, who were trying to protect him. As a result, he miraculously ended up here and now these guys have come here again, he doesn't want his new family to die. Hedi silently listened to him, and then turned Rey to her and looked at him. She will say that he has nothing to fear, because she is here with Law and his crew. The girl will also add that her friend is a good person, he is a doctor and is already helping this island, especially since he once saved her captain (she knew about this event from Shachi and Penguin), so he can and should even be trusted. Hedi herself smiles and adds that she will protect his family and will do everything possible for this too, so they must return and not interfere with Law's plan. The boy will calm down and trust her, so they will leave the hold together, holding hands. However, the same pirate that Hedi stunned will be waiting for them on board. He pointed his weapon at them and sarcastically declared that it was not so easy to defeat him. The pirate also examined the girl and found her very attractive, so he ordered the boy to leave the ship and his companion to stay. Rey began to snap back, saying that he would not go anywhere, and Hedi would try to convince him to do it, because everything is fine. However, the boy will not obey her and will attack that guy, forcing him to use the gas. Grimm gets scared and will immediately push the pirate away, using her hair to knock him down and break his neck. Rey himself will inhale too much gas and although Hedi has time to put a gas mask on him, it will no longer help him. The girl will also inhale the poison, but will try to hold her breath and escape, which she will succeed.

During this time, the Heart Pirates successfully defeated their opponents and decided to wait for the gas to dissipate. Unfortunately, this gas can affect the vegetation, so the inhabitants of the island will have to stop planting here for a while. At this point, Hedi runs up, with Rey in her arms. The girl will immediately ask Trafalgar for help, because he inhaled too much gas and she was afraid that he would not survive. Law silently watched her while his nakama asked their captain for help. The Surgeon of Death only raised his hand as a sign that his crew would shut up, adding that he was going to help them all anyway. Law ordered them to go to the enemy ships and catch the rest of the pirates and collect them all in one place, and the man himself used his abilities and moved Hedi and Rey to his submarine. The rest of the residents didn't have poisoning with this gas, and if they did, then Law had already helped them, since their cases were not serious. With the boy in Hedi's arms, everything was much more complicated.

They ended up in his operating room, and Law examined the boy and provided first aid, while Hedi herself was nearby. As soon as the man helped Rey, the girl asked if everything was all right with him, to which the captain replied in the affirmative. Having waited for this moment, Grimm fell to the floor and lost consciousness, because all this time she wanted to know such news from her friend. Law snorted and immediately laid the girl down on the couch, and he would think that who in their right mind would take such a risk over some stupid child. As soon as he thought about it, Trafalgar stopped for a second, and then sighed, remembering at that moment about Corazon.

The next morning, Hedi was already better and she, together with Rey, calmly helped clean up the consequences of the pirate attack. Law displeasedly replied that she and her friend would have to rest more, to which the girl smiled, saying that she already feels better. She will also thank Law for her help, but he will not answer her thanks and turn away. Seeing this, Hedi only smiles. Shichibukai will return to the shore, where the same pirates were bound. Law will move the sailors to their ship, where the gas cylinders will also be collected. Trafalgar's next action would be to send them out to sea, stating that their gas cylinders would have to start releasing gas after a while, so those people themselves would inhale their poison and eventually die from it in the ocean, where no one will help them. The captain will declare that although he doesn't like mass murder, it will be better this way. After that, he will return to the city with his nakamas. At this time, the giant will also wake up. He has a very deep sleep and almost nothing can wake him up, so he will be very upset that he couldn't help his friends and save them from these pirates, but he was reassured, assured that everything is in okay.

For the rest of the time, Hedi and the Heart Pirates will help restore at least some decoration, because they still planned to hold the Fire Festival. The residents of the city were also grateful for the help, that they wanted to give them a good feast as a token of gratitude, to which no one was against. Waiting for the evening, they began to celebrate and everyone forgot about that terrible evening. The Heart Pirates enjoyed the event, although Law sat on the sidelines. He only watched the holiday and his nakamas from afar. Then Hedi invited him to dance, but he refused her, saying that he was not interested in such a pastime. However, this didn't upset the girl and she went to have fun with other people. Law only stared at Hedi for a while, looking at her a little longer than usual, but later he nevertheless looked away and went about his business. At that moment, Rey approached him, who just silently looked at Law, who do the same. The boy was silent, but after that he handed the pirate a plate of food and said "Thank you", and immediately after that he ran away embarrassedly. Trafalgar glanced at the plate, considered the situation a bit, and then accepted the treat. This is how the islanders and the Heart Pirates held the festival.

After a couple of days, the sub was cleared of hair and Law could continue on his way. The inhabitants of the island managed to give him and his crew a couple of things, for which they were very grateful. Hedi herself heard out of her ear as Law was discussing their further route. They were heading to the New World. At that moment, the girl realized that they would stop at Sabaody. So when Law's crew was already at Polar Tang, and Trafalgar was still approaching the shore, the princess stopped him. The man only slightly turned in her direction, looking at the girl. Hedi at this moment will ask him to take her to Sabaody, since she needs to go there, and here there is no way to get to the Archipelago in the next 2 months. The girl will also bow before Trafalgar, adding that she will do anything for him. Law was silent all this time, and the Heart Pirates, who had already made very good friends with the girl, shouted to their captain to take her on board. Trafalgar sighed, saying only:

— You owe me now.

And he himself goes to the submarine. Hedi took this as agreement, so she hurried to pack her things and get to his submarine as quickly as possible.

 

𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗬 𝗢𝗡 𝗦𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗢𝗗𝗬

It is a couple of weeks after Hedi joins the Heart Pirates to reach the archipelago together. She quickly became friends with the rest of the crew and developed a very close relationship with Okane, who would become her best friend in the future. Hedi also helped the crew with some errands, as she decided that since they agreed to take her with them, then she should do something on Polar Tang. And then one day the girl, along with Shachi, Penguin and Okane, washed the deck of the ship. Hedi didn't like cleaning very much and it was difficult for her to force herself to clean, but she tried to pull herself together, as she promised them that she would help them in everything. However, despite the princess's dislike for such work, it was fun for her to do such a thing with her new friends, so the work progressed very quickly.

However, after a while, their captain came to them, who reminded the crew that they still need to clean the kitchen, as they missed to do it. And in general, they had to clean the kitchen at the very beginning of their work. At that moment, the guys remembered that they really needed to do the cleaning in that room, but for some reason they forgot to do it. Then the Penguin muttered under his breath that if Shachi had not distracted them with some nonsense, they would have tidied up there long ago and would now be free. However, his friend was outraged by such a statement, since he didn't consider himself guilty. At this point, two friends began an argument, during which they could call each other not the most pleasant words. Law wanted to stop them, reminding them that work was waiting, but at that moment his gaze suddenly shifted to Hedi. The girl was in a stupor and her look changed a lot, she was clearly tense and frightened. The captain didn't understand what had happened to her, although she quickly woke up from her thoughts and suddenly stopped the argument of her friends herself, slapping Shachi on the back. The girl put on a smile and quickly said that they should stop fighting, she would clean the kitchen by herself, and let them finish cleaning here. After that, Hedi quickly retreated, passing by Law, who followed her with a look. Shachi and Penguin really stopped arguing, and they themselves, as if forgetting about their fight, quietly said that their friend would never agree to this on her own, she literally hates cleaning. At this point, Okane also intervened, saying annoyed that they most likely scared her, they need to curse less. To which these two apologized, and then their nakama was even more indignant and said that let them apologize to Hedi, and not to her. At this time, Law only silently listened to them and looked in the direction where Grimm had gone, but after that he just clicked his tongue and went about his business.

Law wasn’t interested in what happened in Hedi’s head at that moment, but the thought was not going to leave his head. For some reason not clear to him, the captain was still worried about what he saw. He didn't like this at all, since he believed that he had nothing to think about other people's problems, especially if it concerns a person whom he had known for only a month. But something still made him worry and it made him angry.

When he passed the ill-fated kitchen, he saw how Hedi thoughtfully wipes the same place on the floor with a mop, completely without thinking to continue cleaning further. Law only sighed and walked on, but still stopped near the open door. Something inside him told him to come back and ask Hedi what was happening to her, but his mind made him ignore it. These are not his problems and he is not obliged to solve them, but his heart ached a little and asked Trafalgar to return. His internal struggle didn't last long and Law, with an irritated click of his tongue, turned around and headed to the kitchen. As soon as he approached her and called her, the girl got scared and even screamed, saying that why did he scare her. The captain just looked at her with displeasure, and then said that she had been wiping the same place for at least a couple of minutes, she should continue to work. At this moment, Hedi tried to joke a little and, in a somewhat playful manner, asked if he had been watching her all this time, to which Law only closed his eyes, ignoring her question. At that moment, he silently walked to the mini-bar under the surprised look of the girl, and he himself took out wine and two glasses. At this moment, Hedi changed in her face, realizing that Trafalgar noticed everything and therefore proposes to discuss her problem. Grimm only silently accepted the invitation.

After a while, the two were already sitting at one of the tables and the princess told Law about her past. The girl also told him that the quarrel between Penguin and Sachi made her remember the days when her mother tried to suppress her and used not the most pleasant methods for this. From the very day when she finally left her home island thanks to her crew, almost 2 years have passed and she has already managed to forget about those days from childhood. However, these memories still haunt her and she again remembered those difficult days and now she again cannot stop thinking about it. Law only listened to her in silence, sometimes wondering why he had decided to get involved in this business at all, but still the man thought carefully about her story. As soon as his interlocutor expressed everything that was in her mind, the captain suddenly spoke up.

- The only thing I can advise you is that you just need to accept what happened and move forward.

The girl looked at him out of the corner of her eye, and Law continued, looking thoughtfully into his glass.

- If you continue to think about such things and live in the past, then these feelings will someday devour you from the inside and break you. If you don't want such an outcome, then you need to draw conclusions and come up with for what or who you should live. This is the only thing that can make you stronger.

And when Law gave such advice to Hedi, he had the feeling that he was talking to himself. He also recalled the death of the family and Rosinante. Trafalgar thought that if he had broken down at the moment when Corazon sacrificed himself, then what is happening to him now just would not have happened. He wouldn't have his friends, the crew, he wouldn't be such a strong pirate, and in general he was able to achieve a lot in his life only thanks to his desire to continue living at least for the sake of Doflamingo's revenge. Now he lives only for this, but if he survives, then this will be the main gift for his suffering.

Hedi will notice his serious look when he spoke such words to her, so the girl will understand that something painful has happened in his life too. Only she doesn't know how serious the tragedy was in his life compared to hers, but Grimm is sure that he understands what he is talking about. Then Grimm will look away from him, and she will plunge even more into her thoughts. After a couple of seconds, the princess will say just "thank you" to him, but this will be enough for them. These two will unexpectedly feel that they are still comfortable next to each other and they don't even need to talk a lot for this. It was a somewhat strange sensation that none of them had ever experienced before. Something had definitely happened at the moment of their closeness.

Hedi would like to continue cleaning and so she decided to turn towards Law and tell him about it, and as soon as the girl called him, he immediately turned to her. Their gazes crossed and both of them suddenly felt a slight electric shock to their bodies. From such a sudden discharge, these two fell silent, unable to say anything and the only thing they could do was just look at each other. Hedi wanted to say something, but they were suddenly interrupted by Shachi, Penguin and Okane, who entered the kitchen. Law and his friend suddenly looked at their nakamas, somewhat embarrassed at the thought that they had been looking at each other so intensely for a while. Shachi once said a little displeased that he thought that Hedi had come to clean, but it turns out, that she just came for a drink with the captain. This made Penguin giggle a little, but it only annoyed Law and he said that he should shut up and come here, he will also now clean up with the others. It'll be faster this way and they'll finally clean up this damn kitchen. After these words, none of his nakamas wanted to continue joking, so the guys, together with Hedi, began to clean the room. Law at this time decided to leave the room under the sly gaze of Okane, who would certainly ask her brother later what had just happened between him and Hedi. Trafalgar, of course, won't tell her anything, not just because he doesn't want to share such information with her, but also because he just doesn't know what just happened. He didn't like this feeling of some kind of vulnerability to Hedi and it even scared him. Law didn’t want to have any relationship with her, he just wasn’t ready for it and he had to deal with Doflamingo first. He doesn't need love, he doesn't want to fall in love with anyone, but then what was that feeling? In any case, now he could feel that something clearly connects him with this girl and this feeling will not allow him to continue to exist calmly now.

For the rest of her time with Law's crew, Hedi had fun as well. She thought a lot about the words of her new friend, therefore, being on Sabaody, the girl will be able to finally let go of her worries. Although she herself is now more worried about the thoughts of that evening and although they also worried her, the girl felt more joy from these feelings. It was calmer for her to communicate with the captain, who, apparently, also experienced something similar, albeit, however, he continued to experience some kind of tension next to her. But despite all this, a connection was definitely formed between the two.

After a while, they will find themselves on Sabaody, where she will say goodbye to her new friends, who will now miss her very much. Law just watched her go, hoping that these feelings would soon pass on their own. Hedi hoped that they would meet again. Thus, Hedi was in the archipelago 2 months earlier than the rest.

When the Straw Hats were on Fish-Man Island, Luffy, Usopp, and Hedi traveled to Madam Shyarly's with Camie. Hedi stared at her magic ball while the rest of her comrades left the fortune-teller's room. The mermaid noticed the girl's interest, so she invited her to see her future, because the pirate was clearly concerned about one personal issue. Hedi was really considering her short meeting with Law, whom she had gotten to know better during the timeskip. The girl really liked him, but she was very worried that Trafalgar was not interested in her at all, but Madam Shyarly denied her fears.

The fact is that the mermaid saw Law on the island some time ago, when his crew asked to go to the Mermaid Cafe. There she saw his future, cause the man also pondered his feelings for Hedi and was worried (although he tried to hide it and he didn't ask the fortune teller for anything). In the vision, she saw the girl who had a bracelet with pearl and it was for this reason that she decided to help Hedi, as she realized that these two were tied by fate and even for her it was very surprising. Madam Shyarly decided not to tell the details to the girl, but she thought that maybe she would tell her a little more only after her prediction came true. However, Hedi didn't ask to tell her everything about the meeting of Law and the mermaid, since for her what she heard was already enough.

After such a conversation, the girl calmed down. Now she perfectly understood what awaited her in the future and whether she should worry so much about her feelings for Law. Because of this, she became more confident in herself and was able to show a little more signs of attention towards Trafalgar. It also helped him to feel more confident, as he felt sympathy from Hedi. Although he himself needed some time to accept this, since he had little faith in the idea of "destiny". However, from that moment on, captain of the Heart Pirates thought that maybe this is all happening for a reason and means something?

 

𝗣𝗨𝗡𝗞 𝗛𝗔𝗭𝗔𝗥𝗗

During this arc, Hedi stayed on the Sunny, waiting for her nakamas. She was also euthanized and taken to the laboratory, where she with Nami, Chopper, Franky and Sanji met Kin'emon, or rather his cut face. After his story about what happened to him, the girl enthusiastically recognized that pirate from the story of her new acquaintance Trafalgar Law, saying that it was he. Nami will ask her friend who is she talking about, to which Grimm will tell that during the timeskip she saw this guy and it all fits: she recognized these abilities of the devil fruit, and even more so she knew that at the moment Law was Shichibukai. At this point, Sanji asks with envy in his voice that why was not he in this guy's place. But his words will be ignored and Franky will help his nakama escape from captivity.

When they were able to run out, the Straw Hats faced not only the marines, but the same Law. Hedi, who wrapped herself in hair so as not to freeze, greeted her acquaintance and asked how he was doing. Trafalgar hadn't expected to see her, much less the others here. He silently looked at them in bewilderment, as they all unexpectedly ruined his plans. As a result, the pirates decided to go back inside, as they didn't want to face Smoker, but Law decided to use his ability on them as well. As they ran away, Hedi turned and looked at Trafalgar, who had already activated the Room. The man just snorted, noticing her gaze, so he waited for Grimm to leave the Room and he will change Straw Hats' hearts. Hedi will be surprised when this happens, but will try to calm her nakamas.

In the future, she will stay with Chopper and Nami when they look after the children. During the entire arc, she will be next to them.

When they arrive on this island, she will be a part of Caesar's transmission group and will be with Robin and Usopp all this time. She will also be held captive by the dwarfs, and then go with Nico Robin to help and protect Rebecca. She also helped her create defenses by strengthening her nakama's defenses.

After defeating Doflamingo, the girl stayed in Kyros' house and later leaves the island with everyone else. On the ship during the feast, the girl rested with everyone, and also danced. During the dance, Grimm notices the embarrassed Bartolomeo, who was watching his senpai Hedi. Then she went up to him and offered to dance, to which the pirate began to cry uncontrollably, feeling that his heart was about to jump out. Law watched the scene with a slight smile on his face.

 

𝗭𝗢𝗨

 

Hedi together with the rest went to this island and they spent about 11 days on the way. During this time, the girl became even closer to Law, since at times they could be seen together. For this reason, some noticed their some kind of closeness and it surprised them, since Trafalgar didn't particularly want to communicate with anyone at all. So in principle they were considered good comrades or even friends, and when others mentioned it, Law never said something differently.

One evening, Hedi decided to talk to Trafalgar before going to bed as she was getting out of the shower. She just asked if he was going to rest, to which he replied that he didn't want to sleep yet. As a result, they talked about some ordinary things and the girl was already heading to leave, when she felt that she was hooked on something. When she turned around, the girl realized that her hair was caught on Law's hand, so she apologized and said goodbye to him. Trafalgar looked after her, and then scolded himself for deliberately touching her. At that time, the man had feelings for Hedi, but he didn't know at all how he needed to express them and whether it was worth doing it at all. Trafalgar succumbed to his desire to touch her, for which he reproached himself very much, because he looked clearly awkward and stupid in his opinion.

 

However, Law's suffering didn't end there. When the entire crew climbed the elephant to reach Zou, Hedi decided to sit down with Robin. However, when Ryunosuke the dragon began to fall, the girl couldn't hold onto his back and fell directly on Law, who instinctively prepared to catch her. In addition, the guy suddenly got scared for the girl and expressed his worry for her in front of everyone, which somewhat embarrassed him. But not only this embarrassed him, because Law touched Hedi, and she was too close to him. Although Trafalgar is one of the most dangerous and serious pirates of the New World, when the girl that he secretly likes sits next to him, the captain of the Heart Pirates cannot be calm. So such an open concern and closeness with Hedi makes Law nervous, and the rest of the guys are very interested in such excitement of the eternally cold Surgeon of Death. Kin'emon even recalled some tender moments from his youth, which made him blush a little.

 

After they climbed on the elephant and went to look for their comrades, Hedi later met with the Heart Pirates. They had not seen each other for a very long time, and therefore Bepo happily hugged his friend with tears in his eyes. At that moment, the others noticed such a warm greeting, and Luffy was even surprised that his nakama already knew them. This sight seemed insanely cute for Law and he even quite unexpectedly noted to himself that he would like Hedi to become a member of his crew someday.

This day was too embarrassing for Law and Hedi noticed it, so she could sometimes ask if he was okay. However, he always answered her that everything was okay. However, Law was really nervous at the time, he thought that he was behaving stupidly and Hedi would understand everything. The man didn't want to show his feelings for the girl, as he was still afraid to seem like an idiot next to her. He was also angry with himself for this, and he didn't understand what exactly he needed to do. However, Hedi began to worry a little about him.

After all the events on Zou, Hedi went to Wano Country.

 

𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗢

When she arrived on the island, the girl immediately decided to find herself a job and housing. She also changed her name and introduced herself as Hideko. In the capital, she found work in a local cafe, where she decided to work as a waitress. The owner of this establishment also had a house for rent, so Hedi asked to live there and the woman agreed. As a result, the rent from the princess was removed from the salary, but although she lived well.

Several weeks went by like this. Her nakama sometimes went in to Hedi in the cafe, being just visitors. While working here, she also secretly passed leaflets to people who had a crescent moon on their leg. In general, there were never any complaints about her, because she is an executive girl and very sweet, many visitors liked her, and some very much, which ultimately led to problems. It all started a couple of weeks ago when a wealthy man, who was a very large, came to their cafe. According to the stories of the employees, he is a very rude and fastidious person, often bringing the girls to tears, so they asked Hedi to be more careful if she would serve him. And so it happened that she had to do it. With her, this man, whose name is Kazumoto, was also rude and harmful, however, due to her sweet character, Grimm didn't pay attention to this at all and was still nice to him. The rest of the people who know the difficult character of this gentleman were surprised by Hedi's self-control, who wasn't at all going to cry and didn't get lost. This also began to worry Kazumoto, who left feeling confused as he was used to backlash. Hideko was asked how she generally maintains his character, to which the girl replied with a smile on her face that she just didn't pay attention to his words, so they didn't offend her at all.

The next day, this man again showed up in the cafe, expecting that it was Hedi who would come up to him again, which happened. He again behaved very rude and disrespectful, and the girl again didn't pay attention to his behavior. In the end, Kazumoto took her by the hand and sat her down at the table in front of him, and he asked loudly why she behaved this way, did she really not want to be angry with him or cry. The whole hall fell silent from such loud words, afraid to even sigh. However, Hedi calmly said no, she saw no reason. The man was surprised and asked more calmly that he was such a disgusting person, did she really care. At this moment, Grimm will sweetly say that she is trying to see something good in all people. These words and the innocent image of Hedi really sunk into the soul of that man that he was completely confused and silently left the institution, having paid off the order. Hedi looked puzzled as he left, and the others could breathe a sigh of relief again, but they themselves didn't understand what it was. Some men had time to think that Hedeko-chan would be the perfect wife and they would like the same for themselves.

Over time, Kazumoto more and more often recalled the image of that waitress, because despite her rude behavior, she always behaved very nicely with him. The fact is that this man specifically behaved this way, because in his life there were many women who wanted to marry him because of his money, so he decided that only the one who would accept him so rude would be worthy of becoming his wife. And it just so happened that now the man saw Hedi as his future wife. In his eyes, she was just a wonderful girl who deserves the best. He imagined how he gave her own restaurant, how they get married and have wonderful children and they are all happy. Indulging in his dreams, Kazumoto decided to somehow begin to show his interest in her. He asked the owner of the cafe to raise Hideko's salary, he would pay her extra from his own pocket. When Grimm received her salary, she was surprised that she worked as much as the others, but got more. The girl will say that she cannot accept so much, so she will give the extra part back to the hostess, who will later tell Kazumoto about it. The man, having knew about this, immediately felt how Cupid's arrow pierced his heart and he realized that Hideko was the very girl who gave him by fate. From that moment on, he decided that he would definitely marry her.

After all that happened, Kazumoto continued to come to the cafe and always wanted to be served by Hedi. Her friends envied the girl, saying that she was lucky, such a man was caring for her, but the princess only joked. At some point, Kazumoto was waiting for her outside the cafe to meet her after work and make a proposal. When Hedi left, she was surprised at his arrival, and when he embarrassedly proposed to her in front of everyone, and the girl was confused by this. She tried to think of something, but nothing came to her mind, and therefore Grimm could say only this:

— Forgive me please, but I'm getting married soon!

These words hit Kazumoto's confidence very hard. Hedi bowed guiltily before him, saying that he is a wonderful and good person, but that they couldn't be together because she was already engaged. The girl after these words will immediately run away, very confused by such a situation. The rest of the people who watched this scene were dumbfounded by this event, thinking it was very embarrassing. That Kazumoto's aide was worried about his master's condition, asking if he was okay. The man got up from his knees, and he told his comrade that he must save Hedi. However, the assistant didn't understand him, to which Kazumoto confidently informed him that he immediately understood everything. He continued his thought, stating that Hideko-chan was forced to marry someone and there was so much pain in her words that she clearly doesn't want it. Thus, Kazumoto misunderstood Hedi's words about her marriage, believing that she really loved him, but marriage with someone she didn't love forced her to refuse him. He will say that he even saw tears on her cheeks when she ran away, so he is sure to save her. However, his assistant didn't understand his enthusiasm, saying that she just refused him, that's all. These words were not taken seriously by the gentleman.

Hedi, being at home, thought it was already not funny. The actions of this man made her worry, but she hoped that after her words everything would be fine and he wouldn't grieve for a long time because of her refusal. Although she was still confused to go to work and face this person again. As soon as she came to the cafe, many girls will ask her that she is really getting married, why she didn’t tell them. To which Hedi will try to change the subject, saying that she just doesn't particularly like to talk about her personal life. She will only add that he works a lot and very rarely comes home, as sometimes he spends the night right at work. The girl loves him very much and waits for him to return home and they can get married. Her colleagues will really like this story, because it's so romantic!

On the same evening, Kazumoto will again be waiting for Hedi near her work. From this news, the girl will become completely confused, so she will be a little afraid to go out. When she does this, then that man will again talk about marriage. He will answer that she can not marry that man and he can help her. After all, if she loves him back, then they can escape and live happily together. From these words, Hedi will not understand anything, because why Kazumoto came to such conclusions at all. The girl will not know what to answer him, so she will say that she cannot do that, she is loyal to her fiancé. However, the man will insist, offering his help, he can make her life better than she has now and will be a much more worthy husband. He is ready to protect her. In the end, Hedi will begin to guess what Kazumoto is talking about, but this will not make it easier for her. In the end, she will try to escape from him, declaring that she cannot do this. This is her actions that will finally convince this man that Hideko is banally afraid to refuse her fiance, since he is clearly not a good person. Kazumoto will come to the conclusion that her lover has intimidated her, to which his assistant will again sigh heavily.

On the same evening, the girl will go to a meeting with Robin, Franky and Usopp. Hedi will be very thoughtful and when her nakamas ask if everything is all right, the girl will tell them her story. She will ask Franky to portray her fiancé and meet her from work, to which the cyborg will happily agree. The next day, Hedi will wait for her nakama without leaving the cafe, but she couldn't see him through the window. She just saw Kazumoto waiting for her outside the establishment again. The girl waited a little longer and decided to leave, really wanting Franky to get to her work as soon as possible and help her. When the girl left the cafe, she could start exploring the area, looking for her nakama, although he was still not around. Kazumoto became even more insistent, declaring that they should go, which greatly frightened the girl. She will answer that she cannot, but the man was adamant. He wanted to escape with her so that they could leave the capital and then secretly get married. For this, the gentleman prepared a rickshaw, on which they will go to another place. At that moment, Hedi thought that she was already ready to use her fruit, although she promised Kin'emon not to attract attention. She didn't want to do this, but she had no other choice.

As soon as she wanted to somehow influence the situation, Hedi out of the corner of her eye noticed Trafalgar Law emerging from the corner of the street. She recognized him as she ran into him a couple of times in Wano, so Grimm was able to break free from Kazumoto's tenacious grip and went straight to her ally. The girl hugged his hand, loudly rejoicing that her fiance had finally come to visit her. Law was taken aback and displeased asking what was happening, and Hedi would only ask him in a whisper to play along with her, because the man was harrassing her. The Surgeon of Death will immediately look at the girl, and then his gaze will rush forward, allowing him to notice the surprised two men who clearly didn't expect such a development of events. Hedi hugged Law tightly by the hand, who decided not to even resist, and together they approached those people. The girl will introduce Trafalgar as her fiancé, who has finally returned from work to visit her. Kazumoto was taken aback that he couldn't even find the words. But he came to his senses and decided to look much more threatening in order to talk to Hideko's fiancé, who, in his opinion, is forcibly holding the girl by his side. He will tell Trafalgar that he is going to marry his bride so that she can finally live in peace without such a bastard like him. Law didn't understand much, but he understood that he had to do something, but at the same time not draw attention to himself, so as not to earn himself problems. The man quickly analyzed the situation and replied to the man that instead of solving this problem with him, he wanted to quietly kidnap the person? Doesn't it seem to him who is more of a bastard, so also cowardly? Those words hurt Kazumoto's honor, because how could this guy even say such a thing about him. The man immediately pulled his katana from its scabbard, declaring that he wouldn't allow such a talk about him, and he would attack Trafalgar. Law decided to defend himself and not attack, repelling the attack and pushing Hedi away. Their short battle was attended by the police, who were summoned by the residents of the capital. As soon as they arrived, they immediately asked what was going on. Law immediately took the initiative, saying that this man was pursuing his bride and threatened her safety, and he, that is, Trafalgar, had to fend off his attack, because he didn't want his beloved to see so much violence and then also worried for him. He will also add that Kazumoto is clearly not is okay, it was easy for him as a doctor to understand this, explaining what was wrong in his behavior. At the same time, Hedi will come up to her "fiancé" and in fright will snuggle up to him, and Law decided to demonstrate a little his intimacy with the girl, so that no one has any questions about their "love", so he will slightly press her to him, as if protecting. At that moment, the rich gentleman was angry, since not only was he essentially called crazy, and he couldn't save Hideko from a man like Law. Kazumoto was detained for a while, but he glanced full of hatred in the direction of the Surgeon of Death. At that moment, the hostess finally looked out of the cafe, who was worried about Hedi's condition. She also greeted Law politely, saying that he could come to their cafe, she would gladly feed him. The man only thanked, and Grimm decides to finally say goodbye to the woman and go home, leading her "fiancé" by the hand. So they went around the corner and Hedi immediately released Law, starting to apologize. She explained to him that Franky was supposed to help her, but for some reason he didn't come. And as soon as the girl said this, the cyborg instantly appeared next to them, apologizing for being late, because his boss wouldn't let him go. Hedi pouted a little, saying that because of him she had to pull Law into it, who clicked his tongue at this phrase. The girl will again thank him for his help, but will also add that she hopes that she will not see that man again. The Surgeon of Death at this moment will object to her, stating that this is not the end, that man clearly didn't want to lose to him, so he will definitely return. Hedi was frightened by this, so Law will say that now he will have to stay with her for a while and play her fiancé until everything settles down. Trafalgar was confident that the Straw Hats would only spoil everything, so that he would better control this situation. Moreover, as the man thinks to himself, Grimm doesn't possess Kenbunshoku Haki, she just cannot detect opponents around her, and so at least Law will be there and be able to correct the situation with the mind. Hedi had no choice but to agree with him and bring him to her home. On the way, he will call his nakamas and say that he will stay in the city for a while, he needs to solve one problem.

On the same day, Law and Hedi will live in her house, which she rents. The girl wasn't particularly worried about this, therefore, in principle, she behaved as usual. She spent time calmly with Law, and he was always on the alert. He listened to every rustle, expecting someone to come. The man was sure that Kazumoto would clearly make himself felt at night. And so it happened.

After a couple of days of quiet time, Law woke up with bacause of a rustle. He slept in the same room as Hedi, but only on his own futon. The man quietly got up, trying not to wake the girl, and took his weapon. Trafalgar carefully left the room and saw a couple of men who climbed into the house. At that moment, he used his abilities and cut these people in half, thereby greatly frightening them. Law interrogated them, easily finding out who they came from and why, and whether anyone else was coming. Knowing from them that only they were here and no one should come, the men begged Law not to kill them, because they also have families. At that moment, Trafalgar didn't promise them anything, but he himself went with their bodies to the house of that man. Law had a plan based on the fact that he would play on Kazumoto's feeling of fear, because the man saw that he was actually a coward.

He was awakened by screams, and Trafalgar came to him with the severed parts of the bodies of his comrades. Kazumoto was very scared, because he had never seen such abilities, and Law decided to continue to play on his feelings, intimidating the man further. The Surgeon of Death even managed to make fun of him, taking his heart and causing him pain. The pirate drove the man so much that he voluntarily decided to surrender to the police and admit that he attacked Law and Hedi while they were sleeping. Law was pleased with this situation and will say that he gives him back his heart, but if he doesn't fulfill his promise, it will be worse. At this point, the Heart Pirate captain returned to Hedi, who was still sleeping quietly. Only in the morning she knows from the mistress of the house what happened and that Kazumoto was detained. She asks if Hideko is okay, to which she nods in the affirmative. After a short conversation, during which her boss will give her a couple of days off, the girl decides to ask Law what he did. A man who is relaxing in a room will tell her that he was just having an educational conversation with him. Grimm would look dubiously at his comrade, as she guessed what he could do. However, the girl didn't go into details and was glad that now the persistent "fiancé" would no longer bother her.

Law decided to stay at Hedi's house for a couple more days, thus deciding to play it safe. Yes, Kazumoto was detained, but the man didn't trust him fully, suddenly he decides to continue pursuing his friend. The second reason was that Law still liked spending time with Hedi, he didn't really want to leave her, he just liked being around her. One day, the girl decided to go to the bathhouse, and when asked about it Law, he at first refused. Hedi laughed playfully, saying that it would be suspicious that the bride and fiancé didn't go together. The princess was just joking, even though there was some truth in it. However, after that, Law still got up from his seat and, as if reluctantly, agreed to go with her. They went into a public bath, and Trafalgar had to show his face, but first he made sure that there were no other pirates here and he wouldn't be recognized. In any case, he decided to choose the farthest corner of the bath, so that he and Hedi could sit quietly together. The girl herself was not shy about being naked next to Trafalgar. This is due to the fact that when Law was delivering Grimm to Sabaody, the princess forgot to close the bathroom door behind her (she has such a bad habit). When she was taking a shower, the Surgeon of Death entered the bathroom, thinking that there was one of his crew members and he could safely take the thing he needed, which he left in this place. However, there was Hedi, who embarrassedly covered herself and was indignant at his appearance. To which Trafalgar looked at her coolly and explained that:

— First, you need to learn how to close the door behind you. Secondly, I'm a doctor and somehow I don't care. I've seen a lot before, so you won’t surprise me in any way.

And this statement reassured her, because at that moment Law didn't show any emotions and he really didn’t give a damn. So when this happened the second time, the princess didn't hide her body in any way, although she caused displeased grumbling from the captain, since he again swore at her for the open door. So Hedi sat quite calmly next to Law, who was also not embarrassed by anything. For them, this was a plus, since no one would suspect them of deception.

After the bath, they headed home in the evening. Hedi loved the warm weather in the evenings, especially after taking a bath, and shared her feelings with Law. He briefly agreed with her, and the girl decides to continue the conversation. Hedi asks if she can find out more about "that person" she reminded him of. The fact is that while still at Polar Tang, she once admitted to Law that she was afraid that he would not take her with him. That evening they had another personal conversation and Trafalgar told her that she reminded him of someone, so he decided that he would allow her to be on his submarine. Hedi smiled, asking that was this "someone" very important to him, and Law said that yes, he was a good person. The captain didn't tell her anything else, but now she decided to ask. At this point, Law didn't mind sharing any details with her. He will say that his name was Cora-san and he once saved his life. That man sacrificed himself to give him freedom, to which Hedi listened to him spellbound. The girl will say that she is pleased to know that she reminded him of Cora-san, she is proud of that. Such words caused only a slight smile on Law's face, and they already silently reached the house.

 

Trafalgar slept uneasily that night. Talking to Hedi about Rosinante provoked a bad dream about Law's past. Because of this, he woke up in the middle of the night, and he tried to recover for a while. Through a dream, Hedi also head it and immediately woke up, asked what was wrong with her friend. She lit a candle to illuminate the room as she turned to face the man. The girl sincerely wanted to help Law, and he, in turn, didn't hide anything from her. The man at that moment was weak in front of her, he was not ashamed to show such a side of himself and was completely open to her. Trafalgar shared with Hedi that he had nightmares again, he still cannot fully forget those events. The girl realized that it was about Corazon, so she immediately decided to support the captain, seeing how hard it was for him to accept his death. Hedi expressed her sympathy for Law with words of approval. She tried to help him somehow, but for the man, this support still had a calming effect. This moment of their conversation was quite intimate, and if also take into account how long they spent time together, then Trafalgar easily succumbed to his tender feelings, which he had been hiding for a long time. He is completely open to the girl, ready to show her his weakness and wasn't afraid to show his other emotions, which Hedi was able to somehow awaken in him. That night, Law confessed his love to her, and Hedi didn't mind accepting his feelings back.

However, it was only in the morning that Law thought that he might have done something wrong. The fact is that he thought that he was in vain to succumb to his feelings, and also mentioned that the girl owed him. He considered it rude, because after that he got the feeling that he forced Hedi to reciprocate and sleep with him. Although in the morning Hedi behaved as usual, Trafalgar didn't feel very comfortable next to her. He also told her that he was going to visit his crew, as he had not met with them for a long time. The girl let him go.

Law lay in his old ruined hut that day, pondering that night, wondering if he had done the right thing. At this point, Shachi, Penguin, and Bepo tell the captain that Luffy has arrived in Wano.

 

Law had to postpone the conversation about their relationship and guilt indefinitely. During the events in Wano, Hedi will only cross paths with Law after taking a bath with Robin, Nami, and Shinobu. The girls will finally meet for the first time and run away when they see Hawkins and Drake. After that, she will meet Trafalgar at the very moment when he is going to save his crew from captivity. For some time, they didn't see each other again until he appeared in front of the Straw Hats and the others before the start of their mission. Law will ask her for a private conversation, so they will walk into a bamboo grove together. There, Trafalgar prepared his speech, wanting to assure her that she was not obliged to reciprocate and he would understand everything, but the girl interrupted him, saying that she liked him too and everything is okay.

After this conversation, Zoro will somehow return before the two and inform him so casually that it looks like the two are dating. This news will make everyone wonder and some (Sanji, Sachi and Penguin) even cry. When Law and Hedi arrive with the others, many will want to ask them a couple of questions, because how did this happen. The girl will just answer them that well, yes, they're dating, to which the guy will only agree.

After a while, their mission will begin to overthrow Kaido and liberate the Wano country.

After finishing the mission, she finds out that her new reward is 420,000,000 .
