Summary: Luffy and Law used to be together. They loved one another more than anyone could ever understand but, then something happened...
Armageddon.
Everything changed for the two lovers as Law grew more and more obsessed with getting raptured and left Luffy behind believing that his lover was holding him back.
But when they have to work a job together, how will things play out?
~Year 2016~
"What do mean you're leaving?!" Luffy shouted at his lover as he was throwing all the food, clothes and weapons he would need for his trip.
Law annoyed at Luffy's yelling, "I mean I'm leaving Luffy! How can I make that clear to you?!"
"You're leaving me by myself?! Are you fucking kidding me?!" The raven screamed back at him as he picked up a broken picture frame off the floor from last night's fight and threw it at Law again.
Law reached out and caught the frame before it had the chance to hit him. "You're holding me back, dead weight. I can't keep protecting you and reach my goal."
Luffy's expression changed from anger to shock and then once it hit him exactly what had said, tears brimmed his eyes. "Really? That's what you think?" He whispered.
Law didn't respond but, they both knew the answer. They shared a small silence as the wind began to pick up a wrap around them. Luffy didn't understand how they had gone from being happy to depressed, he didn't understand why Law was so obsessed with getting raptured, and he most defiantly didn't understand why this was happening.
"Fine." Luffy whispered as he ripped a ring off his right hand, threw it and turned his back. "Get the hell out of here."
"Lu…" Law stated with worry coating his voice as he began walking back to his lover.
But, before he could get anywhere near him, the raven screamed at the top of his lung. "I SAID GET OUT. NEVER COME BACK. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!"
Law looked as if he wanted to say something, anything but he couldn't. What else could he say?
Without another word Law turned away from the raven and walked out of the abandoned apartment they had been staying in.
Once Law had left, Luffy threw out his fist and punched a hole through the wall as tears streamed down his face. 'How can this be happening?' He wondered, as he brought his fist out from the wall and bit down hard on the skin trying to stop the tears but it didn't work and they kept coming.
He didn't know how long he sat on the floor with his head in his hands but he didn't care. When he got up and wiped his tears from his red cheeks and packed his bag.
Luffy woke with a start when his body jumped due to the bump in the rode. He heard a familiar voice call to him from in front. "You alright Luffy?"
It had been two years since that day. Ever since then, Luffy joined a team consisting of many different kinds of people with different skills of killing, they were known as Double-Tap, if you needed demons removed from the area; that's who you should call. Of course, they didn't help out for free you had to pay if you wanted their services which surprisingly enough more people than you think were willing to do so.
"Yeah, fine." Luffy mumbled, as he looked out the window. He had a dream about man who left him alone, someone who he hadn't thought about in years. Luffy had no idea where he was or if he was even still alive and he didn't care.
In the passenger seat, Sanji grabbed the mirror above him and angles it so he can look directly at his friend. "You've been asleep since we left base, are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'm fine, just can we drop it?" Luffy stated impatiently, fixing the tape wrapped around his knuckles. The blood from the last fight was still on his small hands and his hands were covered in purple bruises.
Zoro and Sanji looked at each other before nodding in agreement, that if their friend wanted to tell them; he would. They sat in silence as they made the three made their way to the meeting place they set with another team who wanted to work a big job with them.
Abruptly, turning the jeep off and jumping out Zoro called back to his friends. "Here."
Luffy grabbed his backpack filled with all the weapons Sanji and Zoro decided to bring just in case they ran into any trouble. He sighed as he followed after his two seniors, though they were only two years older than him, he respected them the most out of everyone in there team. He first met Zoro after about a month of traveling alone where he got in trouble at a bar for not having money to pay for meal when Zoro stepped in and paid for him. He said it was because Luffy looked like he had just gotten back from hell which was true at the time, because it was around the time he was left alone and he still wasn't ready to accept that Law was gone…
Now he was over that, he had new friends that treated him as family; no they were his family.
Luffy walked in last where he saw Zoro sitting across from a man with red hair, and full metal arm, and evil looking face to match.
This team was known for their merciless ways of killing, they even killed normal people if you paid them enough. They were known as the Red Players and their leaders name was Eustass Kid.
"I see you actually came, most of the other teams we invite to work with us never show." Kid laughed, as he pulled out a blue print from his jacket.
Zoro didn't respond, his expression never wavered. "What job did you want our help with?"
Kid Smiled. "Straight down to business huh? You really do match your reputation." And continued when Zoro gave him a look that read 'shut-up-and-talk' "Anyways, there is a demon my team has been meaning to kill but, it's too strong. If we combine our skills we can take it down."
Zoro sat back in his chair and eyed Kid; it wasn't like him to ask for help better yet from his team. "What do we get out of this?"
Kid looked over to his backup, who was wearing a blue and white mask covering his entire face, Luffy could only imagine to the scars underneath. Kid nodded and the man brought over a bag and slammed it down on the unsteady table. "Money. And a lot of it, this is your first payment if you choose to help us." Kid stated simply.
Zoro sat up and rummaged through the bag of money and counted the dirty bills. "$800? You're willing to pay us at least this much to help you with one demon? Why?"
"It stole something from us, and we want it back." Kid stated, with a bit of sadness seeping through his voice.
Zoro looked to both Sanji and Luffy for their opinions and they both gave him an approving nod. "Okay. Fine we'll do it."
Kid sighed. "Good. Now in order for this plan to work, we're going to have to match members from both our teams together with skills that match well together. Which we have already done, here." He slides a piece of paper with a list of names matched from both teams.
Luffy leans forward and scans the paper for his name but, when he finds it, he steps back in shock and disbelief. "He can't…"
Zoro turned in his chair to his friend who was now seated on the ground, with his head in his hands and eyes wide. "Are you okay? Luffy?"
Luffy shook his head but, not to answer Zoro, he didn't even hear the question. He couldn't focus, he felt as if the devil himself was pulling him back into the deepest part of hell that he had escaped from two years ago.
He felt the earth around him start to spin as the memories of Law's words came crashing down on him, reminding him that he was just dead weight.
The pain those words caused him were deeper than anyone could ever understand. Being told that you're holding someone back; especially by the person you love the most is one of the most heartbreaking things a person could experience.
Luffy's eyes brimmed with tears when he got up and ran out of the room leaving behind a room full of confused people. As he ran to the jeep he ran into a hard chest that towered above him.
"Sorry." He mumbled but, when he looked up to the man it took him a moment to realize who he had run into.
The man stared down at Luffy with beautiful dead, grey eyes. "Hello, Luffy."
