Summary
You once read a story about a man who sought to trick the Oracle of Delphi. In his hands, hidden away in his sleeves, was a bird. He asked the Oracle if what was in his hands was alive or dead: if her answer was 'alive', he would wring the bird's neck. If 'dead', he would produce from his hands the bird alive. But the Oracle was one too many for him, for the answer he got was this: “Stranger, whether the thing that you hold in your hand be alive or dead is a matter that depends entirely on your own will.”
Such a situation you found yourself in. But you were not the Oracle or the man - you were the bird, and what happened to you was entirely dependent on their will.

What would happen if someone with Corazon's Devil Fruit turned up in North Blue?
How would One Piece have played out from the perspective of the Law's crew?She pulled out her knife from behind her thigh belt and aimed it at the man, holding him against the wall.
“Now listen to me carefully, because I am not going to repeat myself. All I want from you is peace of mind and to get me safely to the next island, so try to stay out of my way,” she said with venom, panting towards the man.
“Relax, sunshine, you look tired. How about a cup of hot tea to calm you down, as you so nicely put it,” said Shachi, completely unconcerned with the position he was in.
“You know what, whatever. If this is the only way to get rid of you two, so be it,” she said resignedly and let go of the man, allowing herself to be led to the sub’s canteen.
“I knew right away that we would get along,” Shachi winked.
