Hello :)

Here's my contribution for the Trafalgar Law Week on tumblr. As I am a little short on time right now between all my ongoing stories and classes, I've decided to write a series of drabbles and very short one-shots, and I have one for each day.

Be warned that this is full of spoilers from Dressrosa, and mostly from Law's past.

Here's day one, Heart Pirates.

Dislikes

The Heart Pirates are an odd crew if compared to the standards descriptions usually identified with pirates. Their captain, too, is strange in comparison to what is expected of a pirate captain.

Trafalgar Law has many quirks.

He despises bread —they don't even have any on board, and it has been replaced by rice in the crew's diet— he dislikes umeboshi, he tends to forget about eating if he is distracted by something only to afterwards empty the pantry in a single meal —after being left without food for a period of five days, the Heart Pirates have set up various hiding places for food throughout the submarine— and he wouldn't know what a healthy sleeping schedule is if it smacked him on the face.

However, Law's most notorious oddity is his absolute hatred of silence.

He always needs there to be some type of sound. When he is with someone else it's fine, because the noises people make by simply being there are enough, breathing and the rustling of fabric work to soothe him; he has a vast collection of music and tone dials, and whenever he is alone there is always one playing; instead of taking up the room that in the original design of the submarine was meant to be a comfortable cabin for the captain, Law has occupied the one next to the engines' room, a place than in origin was meant to be a storeroom because the noises made by the engines can be heard perfectly through the wall.

No one has ever asked about the reason behind this particular quirk, but whenever a member of the crew finds either some good music or a tone dial with a nice sound recorded in it they bring it and leave it on the kitchen counter.

Law never mentions it, but the objects disappear from the counter and his collection keeps growing.
