Last Man Standing

Chapter 1: He's In Oblivion {Zoro's POV}

I've noticed. Ever since I first met this Trafalgar guy.

During the war at Marineford two years ago, Luffy was almost killed after receiving the shock from seeing his brother Ace die right in front of him. and the one to show up and save Luffy was none other than Trafalgar Law.

He had saved Luffy's life even though he had only met Luffy once, back at Sabaody Archipelago, and owed the strawhat pirate nothing.

Ever since the incident back at Marineford, Luffy has been indebted to Trafalgar Law. Not only did Law save his life, but they had even formed an alliance at Punk Hazard to defeat one of the four Emperors when they met-Again.

No, don't get me wrong. I don't have a thing against the captain of the Heart Pirates or anything. In fact, I sure as hell owe the guy for saving my captain's life.

But I've noticed, ever since he boarded the Sunny with us. Lately, he's been sneaking quick glances at Luffy, which of course I had took notice of, or even ogling Luffy when he's shirtless. I swear, even if Luffy considers him to be his friend, if he so much as hurts Luffy in any way, I will-

"Traffy!"

Luffy ran over to Law, dragging a giant fish along with him.

I watched from where I was sitting in a corner as Luffy halted when he saw that Law was asleep, wearing a peaceful expression on his face.

Once I had asked Robin why Luffy calls him "Traffy", and to my mighty annoyance, it was because Luffy could not seem to pronounce "Trafalgar" no matter how hard he tried, and was content on calling him "Traffy". And heck, it sounds cute whenever it comes out from Luffy's mouth! Law did not seem to mind the nickname either.

Luffy discarded the fish, abandoning it on the floor before proceeding to squat down in front of Law who was sleeping in a sitting position. They were close. Too close.

I grit my teeth as Luffy started poking Law's cheek and chuckling to himself. Why doesn't Luffy attempt those things when I sleep!

I heard a chuckle, and I turned to face Nami who was sitting next to me and staring at me with interest. I was so caught up with Luffy I didn't even notice this bitch was here!

She grinned at me her evil-ass grin, resting her chin on her hand.

"Someone's jealous," she said, a look of triumph plastered on her annoying face.

I could literally feel a vein pulse on my forehead.

"Go to hell, bitch. Go draw your fucking maps or something and don't bother me!" I snarled at her, trying my best to conceal my burning cheeks.

"I've braced myself for hell a long time ago, you idiot. And please, could you make it any more obvious?" she said as she shook her head and stood up to leave.

Obvious? What is she talking about?

"Oi, Nami, what do you-"

"OI, YOU FUCKING MARIMO, DID YOU JUST TELL NAMI-SAN TO GO TO HELL? YOU DESERVE A KICK TO YOUR DICK!"

I clicked my tongue. It was the stupid perverted cook. Sanji is really a pain in the ass when it comes to girls.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? MAYBE YOU JUST WANT TO KICK MY DICK COZ YOU HAVEN'T SUCCESSFULLY KNOCKED UP A WOMAN YET!" I yelled back, standing up, ready for a fight.

The blonde cook narrowed his eyes and approached me.

If it's a fight he's looking for, then I'll give it to him.

"You're gonna pay, you shitty swordsman."

Just as he was right in front of me and the battle was about to ensue, I felt a sharp pain strike my head, and I immediately crouched down to stroke it, cursing in the process.

I heard the cook's muffled yelp as well. Knowing that both of us were hit, it wasn't difficult to guess who the culprit was. Nami.

"WILL YOU TWO GIVE IT A REST?! Sanji-kun, just leave the fucker alone and make me some ice cream," she cracked her knuckles, making her way to her room.

Sanji was on his feet immediately, saluting her with hearts in his eyes.

"OF COURSE, NAMI-SANNNNN!" He squealed as he literally wiggled his way to the kitchen.

I sighed and gingerly rubbed my throbbing head before settling down on my previous spot again.

To my dismay, Luffy was still poking Law on the cheek. This time, there was a slight reaction from Law as he grunted and swatted Luffy's hand away.

"Shishishi, this is funny!" Luffy giggled, about to continue poking Law to arouse a bigger reaction.

But this time, Law caught his approaching hand and yanked him forward, and in this process Luffy was made to sit on Law's lap, facing him, his wrist held captive by the other's hand.

I was trembling from bottling all my damnation towards that guy. I'm so going to kill him.

"Oh, it's just you, Strawhat-ya. What is it?" Law asked groggily, releasing Luffy's hand.

"Oh, I caught this really huge fish! Look!" Luffy exclaimed, hopping up and down like a child on Law's lap, pointing at the giant fish on the floorboard of the ship, making Law's uptight face smile.

I gripped one of my swords tightly, glaring at the bastard. If looks could kill, he'd have holes all over his body by now.

Why is Luffy always so giddy, even around him? It was driving me crazy. Why couldn't Luffy be more intimate with me like that...?

Suddenly, Law's eyes flickered over to me and caught sight of my glare. His eyes gleamed, as if he had received a message and understood it. His lips twisted into a cocky smirk, one that I wanted to slice off his face.

Just what is this bastard trying to prove?

Then Law pulled Luffy into a hug and ruffled his hair, never leaving his eyes off me.

"Hmm? Traffy, what's wrong?"

Law looked down at Luffy and smiled gently, "Just felt like it. Why don't you take that fish to Black Foot-ya and ask him to cook up something for all of us?"

Luffy beamed up at him, gingerly pushing himself off of Law, not showing signs of not wanting to be embraced by him.

I want to punch the living hell out of Trafalgar Law.

"I'll do just that! I'm getting hungry anyways!"

Luffy then proceeded to drag the giant fish into the kitchen where the shitty cook was, his stomach grumbling loudly.

Then things got heated up.

That bastard and I were staring at each other.

I was giving him a menacing look that could make an average person soil their pants, and I'm not even joking.

in return gave me an annoying as hell smirk that seemed like another version of a victory dance to me.

It was silent, the only noise being Luffy's loud complaints of being hungry.

"I-is it just me, or is the atmosphere around here really heavy...?"

We both turned to see Usopp standing before us, glancing back and forth at me and Law.

He was sweating profusely and was even trembling.

"M-maybe I chose the wrong time to speak. Uh, I'll just, uh, take my leave..." he said as he cautiously moved across the floor, suspiciously making his way to the kitchen, probably to find Luffy to talk to.

"Oh my. There seems to be some competition for Luffy," came a voice from upstairs.

This was undoubtedly Robin's voice. Sure enough, she was upstairs on the second floor staring down at us with the usual know-it-all smile on her face.

She wasn't as annoying as Nami, but she's mighty scary when it comes to picking up things quickly.

Damn women and their stupid intuition.

"Nico-ya, I'd caution that you don't stick your nose too deep into this matter," Law warned, his hat casting a shadow over his eyes.

"Let's see who'll be the last man standing," she chuckled as she turned around to leave.

Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these girls?

"Nico-ya's instincts are crazy scary, but she's right," Law spoke up, pulling the rim of his cap over his eyes to hide them, lips twisting into a grin. Or a smirk. Whatever it was, it was cocky.

I returned him the look. Like hell I was gonna lose my captain to someone like him.

"Fair enough."

Suddenly, the door to the kitchen burst open, and there stood Luffy, grinning like a madman.

This is my first fanfiction! Look forward to next time!
