The spring had finally come to Grande Line city. After four month of very cold weather, the sun appeared slowly behind the white and though clouds of ex-winter. The suburban families started to go out, let the kids go to parks or go to the city, having been deprived for over three months. The winter of Grand Line was well known for being quite rough. It was so cold that the inhabitants stayed in their houses. The adults, the employees of offices and even the police called 'the Marines' preferred to stay at home rather than fight against the freezing cold. That was the reason why there were more crimes and acts of vandalism in winter. The only ones who were courageous enough to defy the weather were criminals, thieves or traficants. A mafia system was born in the centre of Grand Line. They were hidden in cellars, shops or little places all over town. The inhabitants of Grand Line's suburbs called them, 'the Pirates'. For the citizens, they were just a bunch of immoral law-breakers who killed and raped anyone. The hierarchy wasn't the same between the banal society and the Pirates. When you went on the Pirates' territory, whoever you were, even an important politician or a member of the Marine, you were nothing more than a potential victim for a Pirate. Since spring came, the Pirates had to stay put in their streets now, in the centre of the town. When it was winter the whole city was theirs. For four entire months, they could break the rules and nobody would question it. But when beautiful days came again, citizens and Marines got out of their homes. Pirates were dangerous. If they wanted to, they could start a revolution and control the whole city all year long, but the number of Pirates was too weak for the moment. Maybe if a leader come and gathered all the Pirates, because of course Pirates hated each other and stayed in groups of maximum ten. If that day came, Grand Line city would turn into chaos, where the strong will subjugate and kill the weak. No rules, no laws, no Marines.

Anyway, let's go back to our lovely and gentle citizens who could now go out and live like normal people should be able to. Let's take a look closer in one of the suburbs especially...

In front of his white and modern house, a young man was reading a book, lying on a lawn chair in his garden while drinking a cup of hot coffee. He was wearing a long and warm black coat, a fluffy white hat, large jean pants and boots. Crossing his legs and concentrating on his lecture, the young man appeared to be in his twenties. He had a manly little black goatee which covered his otherwise smoothly shaved chin. The streets were quite calm at that hour, in the early morning, and he was pleased with that. His name was Law, Trafalgar Law. A strange name but he didn't really care since he didn't choose it. Law was the kind of guy who was always a part of a group. A calm boy, who spoke only when he needed to and didn't like to chat. He considered it a waste of his time because his purpose wasn't to become the most popular guy with a horde of useless friends. He liked to be alone in fact. Actually he was a brilliant student, and his future life job was already chosen... Surgeon. People loved to call him a genius, but he didn't like the title. Frankly, he hated it. There was no way he was a genius. He was simply a guy who worked hard to achieve his dream. Nothing more! Law was always reading something or thinking deeply about something he already read. That day was no exception. Law took his cup of coffee and let his lips settle gently on the rim of the object. He closed his eyes to feel the hot liquid go down his throat and eventually through his entire body. It was a nice and perfect day, he thought.

"Oi! Ass-face, are you dead? Because it's been ten minutes and you didn't move. Keep it up and I'll go into your home and take everything I want."

Law felt irritated and opened his eyes to look at the annoying person who spoke. Without being surprised, he saw the man who lived in the house directly in front of his. Said man was on the sidewalk behind the little white gate which separated Law's garden from the streets. He was grinning at him, happy to annoy him. The man was in his twenties, like Law, but taller and larger. His hair was short, always messy and the dark red colour of blood.

"Mister Eustass, to tell the truth, I didn't really miss you during winter. Anyway, good morning to you too."

Law didn't waste any more energy and time, going back to his book instead. He knew Eustass from a long time ago, though they had never been friends, but he always saw him from afar. Eustass was that kind of guy that nobody liked talking to. He was too emotionally unpredictable and one could easily accidentally get on his nerves. People called him a dangerous wild animal but Law always saw nothing more than a stupid piece of crap, useless to society. A stupid moron who dropped out of school for chasing girls, money and illegal shit. Law was convinced that Eustass had some link with the Pirates without being one and it was the worst thing. From his house Law observed his neighbour on several occasions. He saw how this little rat was perfectly accepted, mixed with blissfully ignorant citizens while doing some illegal activities for sure. In a way it was a genius idea to be well integrated. Nobody suspected him. Only Law, behind his little window, saw day after day, years after years, bunches of high school girls enter the house of this demon and become members of his personal harem or whatever. Sometimes they didn't come out until really late in the night. Law didn't know exactly what was going on, but he knew it was nothing good. Law wasn't exactly known for his golden heart and didn't give a damn about others, even girls, so he never called the Marines. He couldn't prove anything anyway. This Eustass disgusted Law for being the wolf in the sheepfold, disguised behind a kind smile. It was the reason why Law always rejected Eustass, usually politely. This man loved to provoke others and then attack when people tried to defend themselves. It was the main reason why the brunet never got rude with him. But apparently, that day the redhead wanted to annoy Law more... So he kept provoking.

"Oi, shit-head. I never saw you with a woman before. You can't get any or are you one of those who like to kneel for the dick?"

His stupid laugh pissed Law off. He clenched his teeth and glanced at Eustass again. The moron laughed at his own joke... pathetic. Law held the other pair of eyes and answered smartly in a way which wasn't rude but could hardly be considered polite.

"If you don't see them coming to my house, it's because I get them at theirs."

'So shut the fuck up and go play with yourself.' Law wanted to add this but he didn't. And once more, the brunet won the little battle. Eustass grunted and returned back to his own house.

Time passed and about two hours after the conversation between the two neighbours, another voice interrupted Law's reading. The voice was unfamiliar and sounded far more innocent. Sweeter. The young man looked in the direction of his gate again and saw two little girls in uniform this time, about nine or ten years old. The shortest was holding a piece of paper and the other one a brown box. Law observed them in silence and didn't move or acknowledged them in any other way. The shortest started to talk.

"Good morning Mister Tora... Taro...fa... Em... Good morning. We are from Grand Line elementary school and we want to go on a trip to another island so we are selling snacks, cakes and chocolates. Would you like some?"

"No. Thanks."He was direct, stern and serious. Typical Law.

"But please Mister... We really want to-"

"I said no. I'm not interested in your candy or whatever. Just go annoy someone else, I'm busy right now."

He didn't raise his voice but when saying that he waved his hand as if telling the girls to get the fuck off of his property. The girls were shocked to be rejected like that and the tallest stuck out her tongue to show her indignation, but after seeing Law's irritated frown the girls did what the mean man said and went to knock at another house door. Law's heart missed a beat when he saw the girls knock at Eustass' door. 'Not that door!', he mentally yelled but the warning was obviously useless. He admitted that he was sometimes heartless and didn't care much about others, but those were innocent kids! Should he do something? Before he had time to question his sense of morality further, Eustass opened the door. At first he was surprised by his visitors, but after some explanations, provided by the children, a creepy smile appeared on his face. He gently caressed one of the girls' head and invited them to enter his house then closed his door. Law started to worry and wondered again if he should do something. Was this guy a real danger? Maybe he did have a heart and wouldn't attack kids? Or maybe he was a monster? Tones of questions and scenarios came to Law's mind, each one worse than the last. He took a deep breath. 'Come on man... He won't do anything... Calm down, calm down.' He decided to wait a few more minutes and give his neighbour the benefit of the doubt. Five minutes, then ten, then fifteen minutes and the girls still didn't come out of his house. Man it was creepy as fuck! Law jumped out of his lawn chair and walked briskly to knock on Eustass' door. He was really anxious, remembering the number of girls this piece of shit invited inside his home. Luckily the door opened and Law felt a pang of pleasure at the surprised look on Eustass' face.

"What do you want?" Grunted the redhead in his usually well-mannered way.

"I forgot to... To give them money for the chocolate..." Law was looking behind Eustass, trying to see the girls.

"No prob'. Just give me the money and I'll give it to them." Eustass stuck out his hand to receive the money and Law frowned at it for a fraction of a second, his mind racing to come up with another lie.

"No... Em... I know their moms and after giving them money...I have to take them back to their parents." Of course he was saying the first thing which came to his mind to get the girls out as fast as possible and as far away from that psychopath as he could.

"I see." He turned back to call to the girls. "Babies, come here. There's someone waiting for you."

Law felt shivers run down his spine when he heard this piece of shit call them 'Babies'. The words 'weirdo' and 'psycho' entered his mind but he managed to keep them there. Then the girls came and he noticed they were sucking lollipops. 'He gave them lollipops? What the hell is wrong with this perv?!' He took the hands of the girls and got them into his own garden, not sparing the other man another glance. The girls didn't have time to protest and when they finally stopped, Law immediately asked them for their respective moms' phone numbers. They reluctantly answered, swayed by the scary look in the mean man's eyes, while oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. He managed to invent a believable-ish story to the moms, convincing them to come pick up their girls only one street away, and gave fifty berries to the children.

"Now listen you little piece of... Sweet hearts. Never, never accept when a stranger invites you to come into their home! Just look at him! He looks like the devil himself. So here is fifty berries. I'll buy all your crap. Go away and never come back here, is that clear?"

"Yes, Mister." They said together in a shaky voice which promised tears were on the way.

"And throw away the lollipops. Didn't your parents warn you about accepting candy from strangers? Now go join your moms. They're waiting at the next street. Quick, I don't want to see you anymore."

The girls threw out their lollipops and walk away, scared after taking the money. Law sighed in exasperation when he turned back and noticed Eustass leaning against his door while staring back at him. He wasn't smiling anymore. His arms were crossed over his chest and he didn't say anything before turning to go back into his house. Law gulped and released a puff of air he hadn't realized he was holding, admittedly a little unnerved after that scene. He took his books and his cup and got back inside his house too.

Weeks later after the aforementioned incident, on another morning, Law "met" his neighbour once more. It was about nine in the morning, on a Sunday, and the weather was great. The handsome tattooed brunet was gardening. Kneeling on the grass, he was watering his red roses. He was wearing plastic yellow gloves and boots, the expected tools of the trade. Singing one of his favourite tunes, in his head, he was in a pretty good mood. The day was really sunny, proof that spring had really and truly started. Law looked up at the sky and saw that it was a beautiful turquoise blue colour, with white and fluffy clouds drifting lazily by. He smiled at the scenery. He was thinking about what to do for the rest of the day. Naturally he wouldn't stay at home with that nice weather... He finally decided to keep on gardening until midday, then he would eat some fresh fruit salad on his lawn chair, after that he planned to go to the flower store and buy more rose seeds and end the day with his return home to plant them. All in all, a very nice day! He was smiling just by thinking of this calm and productive day to come.

"Oi, that's kind of gay, what you're doing here man. Even my mom isn't doing that anymore." Eustass was eating an apple and holding a wicker basket while standing on the sidewalk. No more than a meter separated the two.

"Maybe that's because when she saw how ugly you are, she hung herself."

Oops.

'Oh shit Trafalgar! You and your stupid mouth...' When he dared turn around he saw that Eustass was already angry. Very angry. He stopped eating his apple while glaring in a really scary way at Law. He didn't attempt to excuse his words, it was already far too late for that. Eustass heard everything. Law just froze, his demeanour surprisingly cool looking...on the outside.

"Oh, you dare insult my mom ?!" He was close to breaking the wooden fence, which served as the only protective barrier between the two, with his bare hands. "Listen, you cunt! You're lucky that I have no time to pay you back today! But I swear, when I get back from my business, I'll rip your gayish roses and shove them up your fucking ass! Okay?!" Then he kicked the fence, which easily broke, and stomped to his car only to speed away a second later, leaving a cloud of dust in his wake.

Law stopped holding his breath and let loose a heavy sigh. Why in the name of hell did he speak out loud?... It was abundantly clear he was about to be beaten by Eustass now. Even if Law was pretty tall and he could hold his own in a fight, he was certainly weaker that that behemoth. What was he supposed to do now? Hiding inside his house sounded like the perfect solution for the moment. But he couldn't hide for ever! Law got up and tidied his gardening stuff. So much for his nice day... He wondered if maybe that stupid moron will forget the whole thing in a few hours. He was rubbing his goatee while silently praying for that. The day passed slowly for Trafalgar Law. He stayed at home and every hour he looked out his window, wondering if Eustass came back or not. It was really surprising when he didn't make an appearance for the rest of the day or the evening. Law looked at his watch. 01:30 AM. 'I think I have to get some sleep. I locked up my house so it's safe.' He got upstairs and undressed slowly, changing into his favourite adorable pyjamas with a little white bear on the front of his top. 'BEPO' was written in capital blocks across his butt. He had black cases under his eyes and felt disgusted when he saw his reflection in the mirror. He slide inside his large and welcoming bed, turning off the lights and shut his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a loud noise coming from the outside. It was like something hit his window violently. He jumped out of his bed, turned the lights back on and wearily inspected his window.

"What a violent wind... Oh wow... A tree fell down.." He must have dozed off for a short while because he mumbled the words in his trademark sleepy fashion.

He couldn't return to bed because of the noise coming from the streets as well as the wind mixing with thunder and heavy rain. Law put on his fluffy socks and went in his living room. He sat down negligently on his sofa and turned on the TV. He stopped on the News channel and it served as the perfect wake up call.

"BIG NEWS. The Red Arrow, the biggest Building of Grand Lines city, collapsed at 3:12 AM this morning. There are circa 234 dead persons and 109 reported missing. The firemen are actively doing their best to save as many survivors as possible but none have been found yet. Due to the weather the search is greatly impaired and two firemen have lost their lives. Some rumours say there's a Link between the "Bloody bird family", one of the most influent Pirate group-"

Law shut down the TV totally scared and disgusted by the Pirates again. He turned his head and looked out his window. The weather was getting worse with each passing second. The brunet sneezed before getting up. He was about to go upstairs and give sleeping another desperate shot, but a violent knock at his door stopped him in his tracks. He was already in an agitated state of mind and he physically jumped at the sound. The knocks were so loud he thought his door would soon collapse. Could he fool himself into thinking it was only the wind or perhaps someone in need? His blood raced as he hesitantly neared the white door and opened it just a crack. He was surprised to see Eustass standing outside, drenched and more exhausted looking than himself. His breath was ragged and Law was certain he ran from somewhere. Law didn't think a moment before swinging the door all the way open and stepping aside but the other man didn't move to step inside the shelter. Law couldn't even begin to comprehend what the bloody fuck was going on and he just stood there mutely while the rain pelted his face.

"For one time in your life don't be useless... Bastard... Take that... I will come back and get it later..." He gave the wicker basket to Law.

"Wh-What?! Come in, you stupid moron! It's dangerous out there!"

"Can't! They're coming!"

"Who?!"

Suddenly he heard the Marine sirens. Law took the basket and noticed that Eustass had some blood dripping from his arm. He didn't have time to say anything. The bleeding idiot closed the door and disappeared too fast. Law sat on his floor and tried, and failed, to understand what was going on. That was too fast and too complicated for his brain to make much sense of it.

'To sum up the situation... The weather decided to go bipolar today, some trees fell all over my front yard, The Red Arrow collapsed and did a lot of damages, the Pirates are involved, Eustass is being chased by the Marine and he gave me a basket of fruit before leaving... What a night! Things just get better and better...'

He slapped his palm across his forehead. What the fuck was going on?! Seriously? He sighed, for what felt like the hundredth time that day, and got up. He was about to go back to his bed when he remembered the basket in his hand. What could it be? What was so important that Eustass would risk his life to save it? And why giving it to Law of all people?! He hated him!

"Stupid fruit basket!..." He held it and looked under the white sheet to see what was inside.

Now he was well and truly scared.

"NO WAY."
