"Shambles."
Blood-curdling screams emerged from the dark, secluded alley. Almost instantly a terrified black cat scampered out of the darkness into the light that bathed the rest of Alabasta, no desire at all to be part of the collateral damage that the man in the paw-printed fur hat was unleashing on the condemned men.
A far-from-vestigial dismembered body part, an arm, was the first to escape the confines of the blue film that engulfed the inner walls of the alley. Unfortunately, it escaped without its owner, landing uselessly a short distance away, still twitching desperately as its master, from within the room, tried to summon it back to himself to no avail.
"Don't…please…"
One of the men was silenced with a powerful smack on the back of his head with the rock hard hilt of the odachi wielded by the mysterious man. He fell backwards and landed unconscious on the ground, still missing most of his lower body and an ear. His companions, upon seeing their fellow crew member get silenced, trembled in their boots.
One of the men, by now a free-floating head, mumbled under his breath.
"Of all the damn pirates we could have faced here, who would've known that we'd get the Surgeon of Death…"
Almost instantly, Trafalgar Law's eyes narrowed into tiny silts, looking far more vicious than his usual lazy demeanor, as he stared darkly into the eyes of the talkative man.
"What was that?"
The man shook his hands desperately, attempting to calm Law, without realizing that his limbs were already displaced from his torso and head. A few meters away in the room, the arms comically shook themselves in the air.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I was just saying how…lucky we were to meet a pirate as strong as yourself this early into the grand line!" The man sweat dropped anxiously. "Yes, that's right, it's a great honor! We can't be more pleased to…"
The man was immediately silenced when Law, extracting the odachi rapidly from its sheath, drew a surgically precise slash through the air, the slash twisting around and lopping off the lower part of the man's head, from the upper lip down. With a snap of his fingers, the man's jaw section vanished from its place and appeared in Law's hands. The man's eyes widened in pain as Law crushed his lips together with two remarkably strong fingers.
"You talk too much." Law spoke coldly. "I don't like that."
Reaching into his black coat, Law extracted a tiny blade, one that seemed to pale in comparison to the odachi. However, almost instantly all the men watching Law gasped in horror as they identified the tool that the surgeon was now holding.
A scalpel.
Law rolled his eyes at their collective gasps.
"There's no need to be so melodramatic."
Within seconds, Law had almost casually split the man's lower head into two separate sections, each section having one half of the man's lips. For good measure, the man's tongue was also truncated into numerous pieces.
The man's eyes started to water in fright.
"Can't speak now, can ya?" Law grinned manically. "Hopefully this teaches you a lesson. There are times when you talk, and there are times…"
Law tossed the pieces of assorted body bits crudely over his back.
"…where you enjoy a nice cup of shut the fuck up."
Almost instantly, all the horrific yells from the other dissected men in the room were silenced, none daring to speak after the Surgeon of Death's words of advice.
Slowly, Law strode forward in the direction of the only other man that was still completely intact, said man now nearly having wet his trousers in fright at the sight of the havoc that had been unleashed on his helpless crew. The pirate captain, despite having a devil fruit power himself, knew that his limited ability was helpless in the face of the danger that the Ope Ope no mi posed.
Law stopped in his tracks, and raised his right arm. The captain immediately flinched.
"Tact."
An index finger was extended, and the captain was slowly lifted off his feet, hovering helplessly in mid air.
"Please…I'm sorry…"
Law was unshaken by the man's plea, and instead continued boring into the man's soul with his deadly blue eyes.
"You have one minute to explain yourself. No more, no less."
The man burst into an emphatic defense, a final ditch attempt to save his own life.
"All the people on our crew are men! It gets very tough, especially when we're out in the sea for months at the time sailing in the sea. It's only reasonable that men like us would try to satisfy our desires by…trying out some women that we find."
Law's eyes narrowed further. He was clearly not even remotely liking the man's answer.
"You understand, don't you sir?" The captain tried to smile. "You understand what its like being a pirate sometimes? Sometimes you just need a little release from all the stress, so you might consider finding a girl and having a bit of…fun."
"So you think it's fine to just snatch up a random girl off the streets and have your way with her?"
"That's not what I…"
"So you think it's fine to engage in such a vile, distasteful act, all because you disgusting pigs are too selfish to understand that other people are not your toys?"
"I didn't…"
"I was expected a good reason. Instead, you throw back at me every abominable and loathsome suspicion I've had of you people ever since I saw what you were doing in this alley."
"…"
"You've had your chance."
The captain's eyes widened.
Law bent his fingers into the shape of a square, and bent down in front of the helpless man that was hovering in front of him. With surgical precision, he took aim.
"Mesu."
Scalpel.
Faster than the naked eye can perceive, Law pushed forward and rammed his four fingers into captain's chest. Almost instantly, a smaller room-within-a-room was formed from within the man's chest cavity. The target organ was enclosed.
The man gasped.
Giving the tiny room a gentle push, the cuboid was slid out gently from the man's back, succumbing to gravity as it fell towards the ground. With another snap of his fingers, the cube vanished before it hit the ground, and reappeared in Law's hand.
The organ throbbed valiantly within the blue cuboid, it's owner now staring in blank shock at the sight of his own heart literally in another man's hands.
Looking at Law's cold, unforgiving eyes, the man had perfect knowledge of what he was about to do next.
"No…"
Law's expression was blank as he looked up at the hovering man.
Suddenly, the sphere enclosing the darkened alley was disengaged. All hovering body parts fell to the ground in a messy heap. Thinking that he had been granted salvation, the captain looked up at Law and smiled, only to feel his smile slide off his face instantly.
The scalpel Law had previously used to dissect his crew member's jaw was being twirled carelessly in the doctor's hands.
"When my room is removed, my powers don't work. All physical objects regain their original form and purpose."
Law raised the scalpel with his right hand threateningly over the organ still throbbing within its own room, sitting in his left.
"Goodbye."
"I'm begging you, sir…" Tears of desperation streamed down the man's face. "One more chance. I made a mistake. Just…one more…"
"Shhhh…" Law shushed the man, in the same way as how an adult attempts to pacify a crying child.
"Trust me…I'm a doctor."
The scalpel fell.
The scream that rocked the city lasted for two seconds. Then, silence.
Tossing the useless body part to his side, Trafalgar Law turned around and walked deeper into the dark alley. He could sense the person he had been trying to save trembling as she lay on the ground. Reaching her, he knelt down and grabbed the girl's hand, hoisting her to her feet.
She was too terrified to even look at her savior.
Sighing heavily, Law leaned lazily against a wall, his odachi resting against his shoulder, and folded his arms.
"They won't hurt you anymore."
The girl continued looking down at the ground.
"They won't hurt you anymore. They can't."
Gathering up sufficient courage, the girl slowly raised her head and finally looked directly into the face of the Surgeon of Death. His eyes, previously filled with contempt and ferocity, were now crystal clear and completely calm.
"Thank you."
Law casually shook his hand as he brushed off her gratitude. Pushing himself off the wall, he stood and looked at the girl.
"Go home. Leave in the opposite direction. You won't like to see what's lying on the ground in the way that you came. Do you understand?"
The girl nodded.
"Go on then."
Law watched as the girl ran deeper into the alley and vanish, clearly more accustomed to the harrowing streets of Alabasta than he was. Turning back towards the scene of utter chaos, he stuck out his hand in a fist.
"Room."
The blue sphere from before engulfed the alley yet again.
As he looked down at the scattered body parts on the ground, Law chuckled morbidly to himself as he realized his ability's greatest strength: cleaning up messes.
Author's Note – Welcome to the first chapter of my first One Piece fanfic. In this series, I aim to present to readers a few single chapter "scenes" based around some of the characters in the manga series, aside from the main Strawhat crew. I decided to pick Trafalgar Law as my first character as I love the guy and his ridiculously powerful ability.
Anyway, I've open to reviews and suggestions on the next character(s) to be written on. If you have a favourite character aside from the main strawhat crew (it can be any character), post a review and I might consider it if I can think up of sufficient material to make a nice chapter.
Reviews greatly appreciated, and I hope you enjoyed this.
